Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted on 11 patients with post-stroke Chinese pure alexia to explore their reading and writing abilities compared to 11 healthy controls, using specific tests for evaluation.
  • Patients exhibited a significant drop in reading performance, with an average correct rate of only 43.7% on a reading test, and made primarily shape-similar errors.
  • Results indicated a link between their reading performance, writing ability, and various neuropsychological factors, suggesting that visuospatial dysfunction may contribute to the occurrence of these reading errors in Chinese pure alexia.

Aging is an inevitable physiological challenge occurring in organisms over time, and is also the most important risk factor of neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we observed cellular and molecular changes of different age mice and LPS-induced Parkinson disease (PD) model. The results showed that behavioral performance and dopaminergic (DA) neurons were declined, accompanied by increased expression of pro-inflammatory factors (TLR2, p-NF-kB-p65, IL-1β and TNF-α), as well as pro-oxidative stress factor gp91phox in aged mice compared with young mice.
