Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by non-motor symptoms as well motor deficits. The rarely appear individually and occur simultaneously with deficits or independently. However, a comprehensive research on the using an experimental model of PD remains poorly understood. aim current study to establish chronic mouse mimicking human injection 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) probenecid (MPTP/p). were evaluated performing buried food, short-term olfactory memory, hot...
Purpose: to investigate the utility of resistive indices (RIs) epididymal and intratesticular arteries, establish diagnostic criteria for scrotal inflammatory disease on basis quantitative color Doppler sonography Material Methods: We prospectively examined 29 consecutive patients with pain, 15 normal control subjects. RIs arteries were obtained from sonographs Results: testicular artery in epididymoorchitis significantly lower than those subjects epididymitis (p<0.01) while similar...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multilayered progressive brain characterized by motor dysfunction and variety of other symptoms. Although acupuncture has been used to ameliorate various symptoms neurodegenerative disorders, including PD, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we investigated mechanism revealing effects treatment on neural responses its functional connectivity in an animal model PD. We observed that destruction neuronal network between many regions PD mice were reversed...
Bladder outlet obstruction induces a rapid hypertrophy characterized by increased bladder mass and collagen deposition. An increase in is likely to reduce the contractility compliance of wall. This study was undertaken investigate effects partial its relief on types I III collagen, relationship between detrusor types. A total 40 female rats used for experiment divided into one control, obstruction, three recovery groups. The field stimulation recorded; concentration were quantified....
Abstract Despite clinical data stretching over millennia, the neurobiological basis of effectiveness acupuncture in treating diseases central nervous system has remained elusive. Here, using an established model treatment Parkinson's disease (PD) mice, we show that peripheral stimulation activates hypothalamic melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons via nerve conduction. We further identify two separate neural pathways originating from anatomically and electrophysiologically distinct MCH...
BBackground. Accumulating evidence indicates that cognitive remediation (CR) is effective for improving various deficits in adult patients with schizophrenia. Although reports of brain plasticity older adults and the service needs chronic schizophrenia are increasing, very few randomized controlled trials CR have been conducted middle-aged or inpatients We investigated efficacy individualized on impairments within context comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation (PR) by comparing results...
Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Patients with can be treated a combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine, but studies on synergistic effects combined treatment have not yet been conducted. Thus, we subjected an MPTP-induced mouse model to treatment. We used acupoint GB34 for modified Chunggantang (KD5040) as they reported effective in investigated suboptimal dose KD5040 then this The results showed that had effect improvements abnormal motor...
Background Recently, porous acupuncture (PA), which is anodized to increase its surface area for higher stimulation intensity, was developed and showed significantly improved therapeutic effects with more comfort as compared original (OA) in vivo. However, the impact of PA on change local blood flow well efficacy acceptability has not yet been confirmed a clinical trial. In randomized, controlled crossover trial, we investigated using laser Doppler perfusion imaging considered sensation pain...
We report the imaging findings in a case of Kaposi's sarcoma involving transplanted kidney, ureter and urinary bladder. Ultrasound CT demonstrated multiple nodular masses pelvis The enhanced well on following i.v. contrast medium.
Aims: The goal of the present study was to evaluate efficacy risperidone combined with mood stabilizers for treating bipolar mixed state. Methods: a 24‐week, open‐label, combination, prospective investigation in combination stabilizers. Risperidone (1–6 mg/day) given flexible doses according clinical response and tolerability 114 patients or manic episode. Results: Forty‐four met our criteria state disorder 70 pure mania. Mean age subjects 39.0 ± 11.0 years 55.3% were female. significantly...
This research investigates the peripheral mechanisms of acupuncture in treating Parkinson’s disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by motor impairments. While central have been extensively studied, our focus lies at acupoints, sites signal initiation. Employing PD model, we analyzed local responses to stimulation these points. Our key finding was significant elevation both number and activity mast cells (MCs) tissues following acupuncture. Intriguingly, pre-treatment...
Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) presents with typical motor dysfunction and non-motor symptoms, including memory loss. Although acupuncture is suggested as an alternative therapy for PD, its neuroanatomical mechanisms remain unclear. We demonstrate that ameliorates both deficits in PD mice through activation of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons the lateral hypothalamus zona incerta (LH/ZI)—MCH LH/ZI — via nerve conduction. identify two distinct subpopulations MCH projecting to...
