This paper presents a survey of the function and the biochemical composition of the myelin sheath. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of extracts of human white matter tissue is a major method for the identification of myelin constituants. We present results of some experiments obtained with normal brain material at 80 MHz and 400 MHz.

Department of Gerontology, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: Urinary formic acid (FA) has been reported to be a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the association between FA and pathological changes in memory clinic patients is currently unclear.
Objective: This study aims to investigate associations between FA and pathological changes across different cognitive statuses in memory clinic patients.
Structure-function coupling alterations in cognitively normal individuals with white matter hyperintensities.

Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are prominent neuroimaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) linked to cognitive decline. Nevertheless, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying WMH remain unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the structural decoupling index (SDI) as a novel metric for quantifying the brain's hierarchical organization associated with WMH in cognitively normal older adults
Methods: We analyzed data from 112 cognitively normal individuals with varying WMH burdens (43 high WMH burden and 69 low WMH burden).

A 27-year-old male patient with chronic alcohol use disorder was diagnosed with Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) after experiencing an episode of unconsciousness. MRI scans revealed lesions in the corpus callosum and adjacent white matter. Despite prompt initiation of intensive treatment with high-dose thiamine and corticosteroids, the patient only partially recovered, remaining disoriented and exhibiting persistent neurological deficits during follow-up.

Background: Socioeconomic status and pollution exposure have been described as risk factors for poor survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the relationship between these factors is complex and inadequately studied. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between environmental and social factors and their impact on survival after NSCLC resection.

Background: Persistent maladaptive changes of corticospinal tract (CST) and quadriceps strength deficits exist in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the structural alterations of CST and quadriceps muscle strength deficits in patients with ACLR.
Methods: Twenty-nine participants who had undergone unilateral ACLR (29 males; age = 32.
