Clinical Research of Scalp Acupuncture Combined with Rehabilitation Training Treating Patients with Cerebral Infarction in Recovery Period Based on¹H-MRS by Yingping JIANG, Yifan ZHOU, Bo WANG, Shuting TANG, Yunfeng SUN

“…With the comparison between groups of the NAA/Cr after treatment, group A was better than the other three groups with a significant difference (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01); there was a statistical difference between group B and D, or between group C and D, (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); with the comparison between groups of the Cho/Cr after treatment, group A was better than group B and C with a statistical significance (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); group A was better than group D with a evidently statistical significance (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01).Conclusion:Yu's bilateral scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training can improve the motor function and cause the changes of metabolism in the corresponding brain of patients. The changes of metabolism may be related to the recovery of the motor function of the patients.…”

Hippocampal CA1 Pyramidal Neurons of Mecp2 Mutant Mice Show a Dendritic Spine Phenotype Only in the Presymptomatic Stage by Christopher A. Chapleau, Elena Maria Boggio, Gaston Calfa, Alan K. Percy, Maurizio Giustetto, Lucas Pozzo-Miller

“…Neurons in Mecp2-deficient mice show lower dendritic spine density in several brain regions. To better understand the role of MeCP2 on excitatory spine synapses, we analyzed dendritic spines of CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus of Mecp2tm1.1Jae male mutant mice by either confocal microscopy or electron microscopy (EM). …”

Single-Cell Analyses Reveal Necroptosis’s Potential Role in Neuron Degeneration and Show Enhanced Neuron-Immune Cell Interaction in Parkinson’s Disease Progression by Xiaomei Zeng, Zhifen Han, Kehan Chen, Peng Zeng, Yidan Tang, Lijuan Li

“…However, few works have taken deeper insights into the causes of neuron death and cell-cell interaction between the cell types in the brain. Our bioinformatics analyses revealed necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) enrichment in neuron degeneration and selecting the cells by NRGs levels showed two subtypes within the main degenerative cell types in the midbrain. …”

Analysis of Several PLA2 mRNA in Human Meningiomas by Yves Denizot, Rafael De Armas, Karine Durand, Sandrine Robert, Jean-Jacques Moreau, François Caire, Nicolas Weinbreck, François Labrousse

“…However no difference was found for PLA2 transcript amounts in relation to the tumor grade, the subtype of meningiomas, the presence of inflammatory infiltrated cells, of an associated edema, mitosis, brain invasion, vascularisation or necrosis. In conclusion numerous genes encoding multiples forms of PLA2 are expressed in meningiomas where they might act on the phospholipid remodeling and on the local eicosanoid and/or cytokine networks.…”
