Background: Mechanical obstruction is the most common cause of shunt failure for hydrocephalic patients. However, the diagnosis is extremely challenging and often requires invasive testing methods. Thus, a simple and non-invasive technique is in urgent need to predict the intracranial pressure (ICP) of hydrocephalic patients during their post-surgical follow-up, which could help neurosurgeons to determine the conditions of the shunt system.

Objective: Hydrocephalus is a common but potentially life-threatening condition. However, valve malfunction makes further diagnosis difficult. Thus, we tried to develop a noninvasive method to detect the hydrocephalus intracranial pressure (ICP) during routine follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- Resveratrol (Res) is a natural compound found in plants that can help fight tumors.
- In a study, Res was shown to kill glioblastoma A172 cancer cells by damaging their mitochondria and activating important proteins.
- The combination of Res and blocking a protein called Pak2 could make the cancer-fighting effects even stronger, working through a pathway involving AMPK and YAP.
Melatonin ameliorates endoplasmic reticulum stress in N2a neuroblastoma cell hypoxia-reoxygenation injury by activating the AMPK-Pak2 pathway.

Department of Neurosurgery, Shanghai Pudong Hospital, Shanghai Fu Dan University School of Medicine, Shanghai, 201399, China.
Article Synopsis
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a big problem that can happen in the brain after an injury when blood flow is restored.
- In this study, scientists looked at a protein called Pak2 that helps protect cells from ER stress and how melatonin, a natural compound, can help support Pak2 levels.
- The results showed that when Pak2 levels drop due to injury, it leads to cell death, but melatonin can help restore Pak2 and protect the cells, suggesting that taking melatonin could help reduce damage in similar situations.
