Background: Conventional post-stroke edema management strategies are limitedly successful as in multiple cases of hemorrhagic transformation is being reported. Clinically, acute-ischemic-stroke (AIS) intervention by endovascular mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown benefits by altering various signaling pathways. Our previous studies have reported that intra-arterial administration of 1*10 MSCs (IA-MSCs) were beneficial in alleviating post-stroke edema by modulating PKCδ/MMP9/AQP4 axis and helpful in preserving the integrity of blood-brain-barrier (BBB).

Computerized assessment of neuropsychological functioning in pediatric brain tumor patients.

J Neurooncol

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, MacKay Memorial Hospital, No. 92, Sec. 2, Zhongshan N. Rd, Taipei, 10449, Taiwan.

Purpose: Advances in multidisciplinary treatment of childhood brain tumors have significantly prolonged survival and reduced treatment-related complications. This makes the accessibility of digital neurocognitive assessment an important issue in the post-pandemic era.

Methods: Twenty pediatric brain tumor patients were recruited between August 2023 and August 2024, and a total of eight standardized Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) tests targeting executive function, memory, and attention were applied on a digital system.

Mutations occurring in the MeCp2, CDKL5 and BDNF genes have been linked to epileptogenesis in various epilepsy syndromes. This study employed bioinformatics analysis of transcriptomic data to examine the interrelationship among these genes in both epileptic and healthy individuals. Moreover, we assessed the expression of MeCp2, CDKL5 and BDNF at both mRNA and protein levels in human hippocampal tissues obtained from 22 patients undergoing epilepsy surgery for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) as well as from 25 autopsied specimens.

Cranial bone maneuver ameliorates Alzheimer's disease pathology via enhancing meningeal lymphatic drainage function.

Alzheimers Dement

January 2025

Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory, Li Ka Shing Institute of Health Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong SAR, PR China.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia. Recent research highlights meningeal lymphatics as key regulators in neurological diseases, suggesting that enhancing their drainage function could be a potential therapeutic strategy for AD. Our proof-of-concept study demonstrated that cranial bone transport can improve meningeal lymphatic drainage function and promote ischemic stroke recovery.

Objective: Genetic dystonia is a complex movement disorder with diverse clinical manifestations resulting from pathogenic mutations in associated genes. A recent paradigm shift emphasizes the functional convergence among dystonia genes, hinting at a shared pathomechanism. However, the neural dynamics supporting this convergence remain largely unexplored.
