SignificanceChandelier cells (ChCs) are a unique type of GABAergic interneuron that form axo-axonic synapses exclusively on the axon initial segment (AIS) of neocortical pyramidal neurons (PyNs), allowing them to exert powerful yet precise control over PyN firing and population output. The importance of proper ChC function is further underscored by the association of ChC connectivity defects with various neurological conditions. Despite this, the cellular mechanisms governing ChC axo-axonic synapse formation remain poorly understood. Here, we identify microglia as key regulators of ChC axonal morphogenesis and AIS synaptogenesis, and show that disease-induced aberrant microglial activation perturbs proper ChC synaptic development/connectivity in the neocortex. In doing so, such findings highlight the therapeutic potential of manipulating microglia to ensure proper brain wiring.

The proper encapsulation of liposoluble tea polyphenols (LTP) is expected to better protect oil system. Chitosan hydrochloride-carboxymethyl starch (CHC-CMS) nanoparticles-based Pickering emulsions and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/sodium citrate (HPMC/SC) microporous film were combined to embed and control-release LTP. With the CHC:CMS ratio varied from 1:0.

Stroke
June 2024
Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Calgary, Canada (C.-H.C., F.S., E.E.S.).
Background: In the phase 2 PACIFIC-STROKE trial (Proper Dosing and Safety of the Oral FXIa Inhibitor BAY 2433334 in Patients Following Acute Noncardioembolic Stroke), asundexian, an oral factor XIa inhibitor, did not increase the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). In this secondary analysis, we aimed to investigate the frequency, types, and risk factors of HT on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the PACIFIC-STROKE trial.
Salmonella Osteomyelitis of Unknown Origin: An Underestimated Infection.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
October 2023
Service des Urgences, CHC Clinique MontLégia, Liège, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- Salmonella osteomyelitis is often misdiagnosed, presenting in unusual ways, as shown in a case of a 24-year-old woman with persistent arm pain.
- Initially treated for possible cellulitis with no improvement, further imaging revealed a lesion that was suspected to be metastatic.
- After surgical sampling confirmed a salmonella infection, the patient fully recovered following appropriate antibiotic treatment, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation of atypical symptoms.
Comorbidities and the use of comedications among patients with chronic hepatitis C in Korea: A nationwide cross-sectional study.
Korean J Intern Med
May 2023
Cerner Enviza, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is the second leading cause of liver-related mortality and is more prevalent in the elderly population in Korea. Decisions to initiate treatment and selection of proper antiviral agents may be challenging among elderly patients due to relevant comorbidities, comedications, and drug-drug interaction (DDI). It may be helpful to understand the current demographic status and comorbidities of CHC patients in the country.
