Introduction: To achieve a maximum extent of resection, intraoperative MRI (ioMRI) scan is frequently performed. Intraoperative diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is not standardly performed and has been described to be inferior to early postoperative MRI regarding the detection of ischemia.
Research Question: This feasibility study evaluates the detection of ischemia by ioMRI and its clinical relevance in patients with motor-eloquent gliomas.
Material And Methods: Of 262 glioma patients, eight patients (3.1%) showed an amplitude loss of continuous motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring during resection before the ioMRI scan (group loss of MEP = LOM). In these patients and a matched-pair cohort (MPC) of glioma resections without MEP loss, we performed additional ioMRI sequences including turbo-spin-echo (TSE)- and echo-planar-imaging (EPI)-DWI and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI). The clinical outcome was measured 5 days and 3 months after surgery.
Results: The mean ± standard time between loss of MEPs and ioMRI was 63.0 ± 8.7 min (range: 40-84). Ischemia within the motor system could be detected by ioMRI in group LOM in 100% EPI-DWIs, 75% TSE-DWIs, and 66.7% PWIs. No sequence showed motor ischemia in the MPC group. All patients of group LOM and no patient of group MPC suffered from permanent motor deficit.
Discussion And Conclusion: The current results provide data on the time sequence of ischemia apparent in MRI sequences which is superior to previous data on symptomatic stroke patients on this topic. The early detection of ischemia adds an additional predictor for the long-term outcome of patients and shows the reason of an intraoperative loss of MEPs. Thereby the performance of intraoperative EPI-DWI might be justified after confirmation of the present data in a larger cohort.Subcortical ischemia can be detected by ioMRI after MEP loss during the resection of motor-eloquent gliomas and was clinically relevant in all cases.

Background: Brain ischemia is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in infants. Currently, many factors influence the degree of development of ischemia and the consequences affecting the child's body. The purpose of this study was to find the characteristics of the physical and psychomotor development of children with brain ischemia.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and motor disorder syndrome. It has been confirmed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF) can repair brain tissue damage and nerve injury; however, exosomes derived from healthy cells may have a comparable therapeutic potential as the cells themselves.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the improvement effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSCs)-derived exosomes on a CP model and determine whether there is a synergistic effect when combined with mNGF.

: Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) is a chronic limb ischemic disease caused by vascular lesions, characterized by pain, ulcers, and gangrene, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. The objective of this study is to explore whether Berbamine (BBM) can protect against and repair ischemic muscle tissue in the lower limbs; : Using a mouse hindlimb ischemia (HLI) model, 36 C57BL6 mice were divided into sham, HLI, and HLI+BBM treatment groups. : Our findings indicate that BBM can restore motor function and muscle tissue pathology in mice, potentially by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), thereby alleviating tissue inflammation caused by chronic ischemia, reducing muscle cell apoptosis, inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization, and promoting angiogenesis.

Introduction: Cerebral ischemic strokes cause brain damage, primarily through inflammatory factors. One of the regions most affected by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) is the hippocampus, specifically the CA1 area, which is highly susceptible to ischemia. Previous studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory properties of quercetin.

Aims: Stroke is a major public health concern leading to high rates of death and disability worldwide, unfortunately with no effective treatment available for stroke recovery during the repair phase.
Methods: Photothrombotic stroke was induced in mice. Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) were microinjected into the peri-infarct cortex immediately after photothrombotic stroke.
