Low back pain, sciatia or perineal chronic pain are sometimes related to perineural sacral cysts. Surgical treatment is difficult and may lead to pain or neurological worsening. We report four cases of symptomatic perineural cysts; three of them where operated on with two good results and one increasing perineal pain. Anatomical and radiological description are reviewed. From a therapeutical point of view, we can distinguish two clinical types of radicular suffering. Perineural cyst can cause a commun radicular extrinsic compression; in such a case surgical operation will improve radicular pain. The cystic nerve root can present an intrinsic suffering because of on intradural dilaceration. Then surgery must be avoided specially when many roots are involved because it may worsen the pluriradicular suffering.

Cycloastragenol promotes dorsal column axon regeneration in mice.

Front Cell Neurosci

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Novel Targets and Drug Study for Neural Repair of Zhejiang Province, School of Medicine, Hangzhou City University, Hangzhou, China.

Introduction: Cycloastragenol (CAG) has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiaging, antioxidative, and antitumorigenic properties. In addition, our previous study showed that CAG administration can promote axonal regeneration in peripheral neurons. However, whether CAG can activate axon regeneration central nervous system (CNS) remains unknown.

Aging negatively impacts central nervous system function; however, the cellular impact of aging in the peripheral nervous system remains poorly understood. Aged individuals are more likely to experience increased pain and slower recovery after trauma. Such injury can damage vulnerable peripheral axons of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons resulting in somatosensory dysfunction.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, and neuroprotection is an important approach to improving AD outcomes. Rhizoma of Anemarrhena asphodeloides (RAA) is a commonly used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with demonstrated neuroprotective effects, but its anti-AD mechanism requires further exploration.

Aim Of The Study: To elucidate the neuroprotective mechanism of RAA on TMT-induced AD mice.
