Article Synopsis
  • Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents limited treatment options, prompting research into Exo-loaded cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) agonist AM1241, which has shown benefits in other inflammatory diseases but not specifically in SCI.
  • In an experiment with C57BL/6 mice, treatments with Exo, AM1241, and a combination of both were administered, with effects assessed on motor function, histological changes, inflammation, and oxidative stress levels.
  • The combined treatment of Exo and AM1241 markedly improved motor function recovery by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibiting cell apoptosis, enhancing antioxidant defenses, and activating protective signaling pathways in the spinal cord.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how interstitial free water (FW) acts as a bridge connecting deep medullary vein (DMV) scores to white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.
  • Researchers analyzed clinical and imaging data from 125 patients, scoring six DMV regions to create an overall DMV score, and measured WMH volume using imaging techniques.
  • Results showed that higher DMV scores and FW values were linked to increased WMH volumes, with FW mediating the relationship between DMV scores and WMH volume even when accounting for age, gender, and vascular risk factors.

Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review compared the effectiveness and safety of two surgical methods—anterior cervical controllable antedisplacement and fusion (ACAF) and anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF)—for treating ossification of the cervical posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in patients.
  • It included 5 studies with 366 participants and found that ACAF had significantly fewer complications, such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and better postoperative outcomes, including improvements in neck disability, angle alignment, and spinal measurements.
  • However, ACAF required a longer operation time than ACCF, with no notable differences in blood loss or length of hospital stays between the two surgical options.
