Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy-related death, likely stemming from seizure activity disrupting vital brain centres controlling heart and breathing function. However, understanding of SUDEP's anatomical basis and mechanisms remains limited, hampering risk evaluation and prevention strategies. Prior studies using a neuron-specific conditional knockout mouse model of SUDEP identified the primary importance of brain-driven mechanisms contributing to sudden death and cardiorespiratory dysregulation; yet, the underlying neurocircuits have not been identified.

Insights into pathologic mechanisms occurring during serious adverse events following live zoster vaccination.

J Virol

January 2025

Division of Infectious Diseases, Virology Laboratory, Department of Pediatrics, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA.

An effective live zoster vaccine has been widely used around the world. Although no deaths occurred in the original large clinical trial, we analyzed 10 serious adverse events, including six deaths that have subsequently occurred in four countries. The goal is to define the viral pathogenesis of these unexpected adverse events secondary to a viremia with dissemination of the vaccine virus.

The unexpected PD-L1 suppression function of celery-derived extracellular vesicles improves lung cancer chemotherapy efficacy.

Extracell Vesicles Circ Nucl Acids

November 2024

State Key Laboratory of Systems Medicine for Cancer, Renji Hospital, School of Medicine and School of Biomedical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200030, China.

The article explores celery-derived extracellular vesicles (CDEVs), characterized by high cellular uptake, low immunogenicity, and high stability, as a therapeutic strategy for antitumor nanomedicines. The methods employed in this study include cell experiments such as co-culture, Western Blot, and flow cytometry. experiments were conducted in C57BL/6 tumor-bearing mice subcutaneously injected with Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells.

Background: Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) is a leading cause of death for US infants, and nonrecommended sleep practices are reported in most of these deaths. SUID rates have not declined over the past 20 years despite significant educational efforts. Integration of prenatal safe sleep and breastfeeding education into a pregnancy app may be one approach to engaging pregnant individuals in education about infant care practices prior to childbirth.

Berberine ameliorates seizure activity and cardiac dysfunction in pentylenetetrazol-kindling seizures in rats: Modulation of sigma1 receptor, Akt/eNOS signaling, and ferroptosis.

Neuropharmacology

January 2025

Pharmacology and Toxicology Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt; Pharmacology and Toxicology Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, King Salman International University (KSIU), South Sinai 46612, Egypt.

Seizures can lead to cardiac dysfunction. Multiple pathways contribute to this phenomenon, of which the chaperone sigma-1 receptor (S1R) signaling represents a promising nexus between the abnormalities seen in both epilepsy and ensuing cardiac complications. The study explored the potential of Berberine (BER), a promising S1R agonist, in treating epilepsy and associated cardiac abnormalities in a pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) kindling rat model of epilepsy.
