Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder, characterized by restricted eating, fear to gain weight, and a distorted body image. Mu-opioid receptor (MOR) functions as a part of complex opioid system and supports both homeostatic and hedonic control of eating behavior. Thirteen patients with AN and thirteen healthy controls (HC) were included in this study.

Background: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) can study the susceptibility values of brain tissue which allows for noninvasive examination of local brain iron levels in both normal and pathological conditions.
Purpose: Our study compares brain iron deposition in gray matter (GM) nuclei between cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients and healthy controls (HCs), exploring factors that affect iron deposition and cognitive function.
Materials And Methods: A total of 321 subjects were enrolled in this study.

Background: Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare disorder characterized by clinical manifestations of hemichorea, non-ketotic hyperglycemia, and high signal on T1-weighted MRI or high density on CT scan in basal ganglia, typically associated with poor glycemic control.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics of patients with diabetic striatopathy to raise awareness amongst physicians, especially endocrinologists, about this rare neurological manifestation in patients with diabetes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data on clinical presentations, laboratory workups, and cranial CT and MRI of six patients with DS who were admitted to our hospital from October 2013 to June 2022.

Objective: To investigate the relationship of synaptic loss with glucose metabolism and dopaminergic transporters in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients.
Methods: A total of 16 patients with PD and 11 age-matched healthy controls underwent positron emission tomography (PET) with the tracers [F]SynVesT-1, a ligand for the presynaptic terminal marker synaptic vesicle protein 2 A (SV2A), and FDG. PD patients also underwent PET with the dopamine transporter (DAT) ligand [18F]FP-CIT.

Background: The classification of Parkinson disease by age of onset has proven to be a valuable method for subtyping, given its practical application in clinical settings. However, the interactions between the metabolic brain changes, dopaminergic dysfunction, and clinical manifestations in patients with early-onset (early-iPD) and late-onset (late-iPD) idiopathic Parkinson disease have not been adequately evaluated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the difference in cerebral metabolism and presynaptic dopaminergic function between patients with early-iPD and those with late-onset disease using F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) and [F] 9-fluoropropyl-(+)-dihydrotetrabenazine (F-FP-DTBZ) positron emission tomography (PET).
