Gut-microbiome-combined metabolomics studies in cerebrovascular disease highlight the microbiota-gut-brain axis in neurological disorders. Here, we present a protocol for correlating the gut microbiome and metabolomics in patients with intracranial aneurysms. We describe steps for sample collection, fecal genomic DNA extraction, rRNA PCR amplification, sequencing library construction, and rRNA sequencing.

Iron is the most abundant transition metal in the brain and is essential for brain development and neuronal function; however, its abnormal accumulation is also implicated in various neurological disorders. The olfactory bulb (OB), an early target in neurodegenerative diseases, acts as a gateway for environmental toxins and contains diverse neuronal populations with distinct roles. This study explored the cell-specific vulnerability to iron in the OB using a mouse model of intranasal administration of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC).

Introduction: Myeloid cells trafficking from the periphery to the central nervous system are key players in multiple sclerosis (MS) through antigen presentation, cytokine secretion and repair processes.
Methods: Combination of mass cytometry on blood cells from 60 MS patients at diagnosis and 29 healthy controls, along with single cell RNA sequencing on paired blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 5 MS patients were used for myeloid cells detailing.
Results: Myeloid compartment study demonstrated an enrichment of a peculiar classical monocyte population in 22% of MS patients at the time of diagnosis.

Background: Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is a biomarker for neuro-axonal injury.
Objectives: To assess sNfL's utility as a diagnostic marker for Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB).
Methods: We compared serum and CSF NfL levels in LNB patients and age-matched controls.

To summarize the clinical characteristics of focal cerebral arteriopathy (FCA) in children, and to analyze its influencing factor of prognosis. A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data from 40 children with FCA who were hospitalized at the Department of Neurology, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, from September 2015 to August 2024 were collected.
