Objective: To analyze the clinical and neuroimage characteristics of primary central nervous system lymphoma and explore the methods of treatment.

Methods: The clinical data of 28 cases of primary central nervous system lymphoma were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: All the 28 patients with lyphoma were proved by craniotomy and pathologic study. The survival periods were 5 days to 40 months after the craniotomy. Eighteen patients received radiotherapy after the operation. Sixteen recurrent cases were proved by neuroimage and the minimum recurrent time was the 29th day after the operation.

Conclusion: The duration of primary lymphoma in the central nervous system is short and the clinical symptom is serious. The neuroimage of primary lymphoma in the central nervous system has some characteristic changes. The recurrence may occur over a brief time after the operation even though the tumor has been totally removed under the microscope. The majority of lymphomas are sensitive to radiotherapy.

Objective: Marine fishing ranks among the most hazardous occupations globally, with risks intensifying for small-sized vessels venturing deeper into the sea due to the scarcity of near-shore fish and high market demand. This study identifies various occupational hazards and the use of safety equipment among small-scale motorized fishers using traditional fishing methods in the southernmost coastal regions of India.

Methods: The primary data were collected from 253 artisanal small-scale motorized fishers through a multi-stage stratified random sampling method.

There is a complex interplay between the gut microbes, liver, and central nervous system, a gut-liver-brain axis, where the brain impacts intestinal and hepatic function while the gut and liver can impact cognition and mental status. Dysregulation of this axis can be seen in numerous diseases. Hepatic encephalopathy, a consequence of cirrhosis, is perhaps the best studied perturbation of this system.

Comprehensive review on neprilysin (NEP) inhibitors: design, structure-activity relationships, and clinical applications.

Front Pharmacol

December 2024

Department of Orthodontics, State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Neprilysin (NEP), a zinc-dependent membrane-bound metallopeptidase, regulates various bioactive peptides, particularly in kidneys, vascular endothelium, and the central nervous system. NEP's involvement in metabolizing natriuretic peptides, insulin, and enkephalins makes it a promising target for treating cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases. Several NEP inhibitors, such as sacubitril and omapatrilat, have been approved for clinical use, which inhibit NEP activity to prolong the bioactivity of beneficial peptides, thereby exerting therapeutic effects.
