Background: Aim of the present study was to assess whether post-dialysis fatigue (PDF) may be related to pre- or post-dialysis levels of serum S100B protein. Hemodialysis patients (HD) who answered to be fatigued after their hemodialysis sessions when asked: "Do you feel worse after dialysis? if they answered yes" were considered to suffer from PDF. Serum Interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10), TNF-α and S100B were assessed by ELISA kit.

Results: Thirty HD patients were studied: 22 (73.4%) reported to suffer from PDF. Serum S100B post-dialysis levels (median [IQR] = 17.4 μg [7.1 to 30.9]) were significantly higher than serum S100B pre-dialysis levels (median [IQR] = 5 μg [1.4 to 22.1]; p = 0.0001). S100B post-dialysis was significantly higher than S100B pre-dialysis either in patients with PDF or without PDF.

Conclusions: Pre- and post-dialysis values of serum S100B and its delta did not differ significantly between patients with and without PDF and were not associated with the length of the TIRD in patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Background: Even patients with normal computed tomography (CT) head imaging may experience persistent symptoms for months to years after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). There is currently no good way to predict recovery and triage patients who may benefit from early follow-up and targeted intervention. We aimed to assess if existing prognostic models can be improved by serum biomarkers or diffusion tensor imaging metrics (DTI) from MRI, and if serum biomarkers can identify patients for DTI.

Neurological complications in patients undergoing veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) are challenging, with new intracranial pathologies posing a grave risk. We aimed to evaluate the utility of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100B biomarkers for predicting outcomes in new-onset intracranial pathology during V-V ECMO. A retrospective analysis spanning 2013-2021 at a German university hospital was conducted.

Background: A variety of processes, ranging from blood-brain barrier disruption to circulating biomarkers, contributes to reperfusion injury in acute stroke treatment.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of thrombolytic therapy and endovascular thrombectomy therapy on serum S100 calcium-binding protein B, ischemia-modified albumin and thiol-disulfide balance in patients who arrived within the first 6 h of acute ischemic stroke.

Material And Methods: The study considered 66 patients with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke who underwent thrombolytic therapy or EVT in the first 6 h, as well as 32 healthy volunteers.

1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 regulates enteroglial bioactivity through butyric acid pathway in a high-fat diet mouse model.

1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), affects enteric glial cells (EGCs) activity, but the mechanism is still unknown. The current study aimed to explore whether 1,25(OH)2D3 could regulate EGCs activity via butyrate pathway in a high-fat diet model. Male C57BL/6 J mice were fed with standard diet (SDD), or vitamin-D-deficient diet (VDD), or high-fat diet (HFD), or HFD plus sodium butyrate (SBR), or HFD plus 1,25(OH)2D3, or HFD plus S100B inhibitor ONO-2506 in vivo.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how playing multiple seasons of rugby affects serum S100B levels in male professional players and the acute impact of concussion on these levels.
  • Researchers collected blood samples during different seasons of play and after concussions to measure S100B concentrations using an ELISA assay.
  • The results showed that while S100B levels remained stable across seasons, they significantly increased immediately after concussions, but returned to pre-season levels by the end of the season, suggesting S100B could be a valuable tool in managing sports-related concussions.
