Isolated oculomotor nerve palsy due to mesencephalic infarction diagnosed by ZOOM DWI.

Background: Oculomotor nerve palsy is a common neurological presentation in daily practice.

Case Presentation: A 55-year-old man presented with a 3-h history of diplopia and drooping of his bilateral especially left eyelids. Examination revealed an isolated oculomotor nerve palsy consisting of left medial rectus, inferior oblique, superior rectus, inferior rectus with intact pupillary reflexes and bilateral especially left superior palpebral levator.

Protective effect of glycyrrhizic acid on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury via inhibiting HMGB1-mediated TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

Cerebral ischemia is caused by various disorders, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, or peripheral vascular disease. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effects of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Middle cerebral artery occlusion was established to evaluate the effects of GA on cerebral ischemia.
