AI Article Synopsis
- A rare case of motor neuron disease primarily affecting the lower motor neurons at a single level of the pyramidal tract is examined, focusing on an asymmetric lesion at the cervical level.
- The study details the patient's clinical symptoms, additional test results, and ongoing monitoring.
- The article highlights the MRI findings described as "snake eyes" and discusses their significance in diagnosing and predicting the progression of the disease.
Article Abstract
Motor neuron disease with isolated or predominant lesion of the lower motor neuron at one level of the pyramidal tract is a rare diagnostic finding. In the article, we analyze the case of a patient with asymmetric lesion of the inferior motor neuron at the cervical level: clinical manifestations, results of additional studies and dynamic observation of the patient. Special attention is paid to the MRI picture of changes in the pyramidal tracts in the cervical region, which have been called the «snake eyes» in the literature, and the impact of this finding on the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.

Development and maintenance of posture is essential behavior for overground mammalian locomotion. Dopamine and noradrenaline strongly influence locomotion, and their dysregulation initiates the development of motor impairments linked to neurodegenerative disease. However, the precise cellular and circuit mechanisms are not well defined.

Background: Parkinson's disease is a hypokinetic disorder characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPc) region of mid-brain. Dopaminergic degeneration of neurons is considered to be due to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, neurons mitochondrial dysfunction and glutamate excitotoxicity etc. Inosine a purine nucleoside has been reported to produce anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuromodulatory actions in previous studies.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common neurological trauma that cannot be completely cured with surgical techniques and medications. In this study, we established a mouse SCI model and used an adeno-associated virus (AAV) to achieve the high expression of sonic hedgehog (Shh) at the injury site to further investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Shh on SCI. The results of the present study show that Shh may promote motor function recovery.

Background: The classic mode of STING activation is through binding the cyclic dinucleotide 2'3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), produced by the DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which is important for the innate immune response to microbial infection and autoimmune disease. Modes of STING activation that are independent of cGAS are much less well understood. We wanted to explore the interactome of STING on the organelles during its trafficking route and to understand the regulatory network of STING signaling.

Background: Progranulin (PGRN) haploinsufficiency is a major risk factor for frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-GRN). Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN levels in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution.
