Abstract Objectives Glial cell activation contributes to the inflammatory response and occurrence of epilepsy. Our preliminary study demonstrated that long non‐coding RNA, H19, promotes hippocampal glial during epileptogenesis. However, precise mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear. Materials methods H19 let‐7b were overexpressed or silenced using an adeno‐associated viral vector in vivo. Their expression a kainic acid‐induced epilepsy model was evaluated by real‐time quantitative...
Abstract Objective To compare the efficacy of subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on reducing levodopa‐induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson’s disease, to explore potential underlying mechanisms. Methods We retrospectively assessed clinical outcomes 43 patients with preoperative LID who underwent DBS targeting STN (20/43) or GPi (23/43). The primary outcome was change from baseline Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) secondary...
Abstract Empathy enables understanding and sharing of others’ feelings. Human neuroimaging studies have identified critical brain regions supporting empathy for pain, including the anterior insula (AI), cingulate (ACC), amygdala, inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). However, to date, precise spatio-temporal profiles empathic neural responses inter-regional communications remain elusive. Here, using intracranial electroencephalography, we investigated electrophysiological signatures vicarious pain...
Abstract Background To investigate the relationship between position of bilateral STN-DBS location active contacts and clinical efficacy on motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Methods Retrospectively analyze data 57 patients with PD who underwent from March 2018 to December 2018. Unified Disease Rating Scale-Part III (UPDRS-III) score, levodopa equivalent day dose (LEDD), Quality Life Scale (PDQ-39) before operation within 6 months after operation, determine activated volume...
Summary Objective We aimed to study the networks’ mechanism of metabolic covariance networks in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), through examining brain value fluorine‐18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ( 18 F‐FDG‐PET). Methods F‐FDG‐PET images from 16 patients with mTLE were analyzed using local and global network (MCN) approaches, including whole pattern analysis (WMPA), hippocampus‐based (h‐) MCN, (w‐) edge‐based connectivity (EBCA). Results WMPA showed a typical...
Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising therapy for refractory Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS). However, its long-term efficacy, safety, and recommended surgical age remain controversial, requiring evidence to compare different categories. Methods This retrospective cohort study recruited 102 GTS patients who underwent DBS between October 2006 April 2022 at two national centers. Patients were divided into categories: children (aged < 18 years; n = 34) adults ≥...
Positron emission tomography (PET) scan with tracer [18F]-fluorodeoxy-glucose (18F-FDG) is widely used to measure the glucose metabolism in neurodegenerative disease such as Idiopathic Parkinson's (IPD). Previous studies using 18F-FDG PET mainly focused on motor or non-motor symptoms but not severity of IPD. In this study, we aimed determine metabolic patterns different stages IPD defined by Hoehn and Yahr rating scale (H-Y scale) identify regions brain that play critical roles progression....
