Toxic leukoencephalopathy is a structural alteration of the white matter following exposure to various toxic agents. We report a 49-year-old man exposed to an explosion of lacquer thinner with brain MRI features atypical from those of chronic toxic solvent intoxication.

: Recent advances in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) management provide higher survival rates at the cost of increased toxicities. Acute neurotoxicity affects up to 10% of patients, requiring rapid recognition and treatment. : A retrospective observational study was performed to determine the frequency, clinical manifestations, radiological characteristics, treatment options and outcome of acute neurological adverse events in pediatric patients with lymphoid malignancies at the Department of Oncology and Hematology, Children's Hospital Zagreb, Croatia.

Background: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is one of the most common inherited cerebral small vessel diseases caused by the NOTCH3 gene mutation. This mutation leads to the accumulation of NOTCH3 extracellular domain protein (NOTCH3) into the cerebral arterioles, causing recurrent stroke, white matter lesions, and cognitive impairment. With the development of gene sequencing technology, cysteine-sparing mutations can also cause CADASIL disease, however, the pathogenicity and pathogenic mechanisms of cysteine-sparing mutations remain controversial.

Background: The defining characteristic of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a reversible, predominantly vasogenic edema of the white matter, particularly affecting the parenchyma supplied by the posterior circulation. PRES is most commonly associated with hypertension. We present a case series of seven normotensive patients diagnosed with cancer who had posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

Optimizing the design of nanoparticulate co-delivery systems of antigens and immunomodulators to induce antigen-specific immune tolerance effectively remains a challenge, constrained by low drug loading capacity and premature leakage of active ingredients. Here, we report a prodrug self-assembled nanoparticles (NPs) strategy to synergistically deliver antigen and rapamycin (RAPA) into antigen-presenting cells (APCs) by simply conjugating rapamycin with an aliphatic chain. These prodrug NPs can be efficiently taken up by APCs and then release rapamycin through cleavage of the linker by intracellular esterase.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a progressive demyelinating disorder resulting from the toxic accumulation of sulfatides. The stereotyped neurodegeneration of MLD is well understood, and cases are categorized into subtypes by age at neurologic onset: late infantile (LI), juvenile (J), and adult. The systemic burden of disease, such as gallbladder involvement, however, is less well characterized.
