Structural-informed functional MRI analysis of patients with empathy impairment following stroke.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explored brain function and structure changes in stroke patients with empathy impairment, comparing them to healthy individuals three months post-stroke using MRI techniques.
- - Results indicated that patients with lower empathy scores had larger brain infarcts, particularly in the left hemisphere, with specific atrophy in the right cingulate cortex and lower cognitive assessment scores.
- - While the findings showed increased functional connectivity in certain brain regions related to empathy, the study did not analyze the specific networks involved in this impairment.
Background: Changes in social behavior can occur after ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate the potential correlations between neuroimaging variables and changes in social behavior in patients who experienced subacute ischemic stroke.
Methods: We prospectively screened patients with first-ever ischemic stroke.
Empathy has not been well studied in patients following ischemic stroke. We aimed to evaluate the relationships of multimodal neuroimaging parameters with the impairment of empathy in patients who had experienced subacute ischemic stroke. Patients who had experienced a first-event acute ischemic stroke were recruited, and we assessed their empathy using the Chinese version of the Empathy Quotient (EQ) 3 months after the index stroke.

One of the acyl-CoA oxidases from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, acyl-CoA oxidase 2 (Aox2p), has been expressed in Escherichia coli as an active, N-terminally tagged (His)(6) fusion protein. The specific activity of the purified enzyme, containing FAD, was 19.7 micromolmin(-1)mg(-1) using myristoyl-CoA as substrate.
