Objective The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy low-dose rituximab (RTX) and immunosuppressants in treating orbital inflammatory pseudotumor (OIP) with intracranial extension, a refractory high-relapse disease. Methods Patients who had been diagnosed OIP extension were systemic corticosteroids retrospectively recruited at Neuro-Ophthalmology Department Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital between December 2018 September 2022. After methylprednisolone pulse therapy,...

Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a neuroimmune disorder primarily driven by autoantibodies against aquaporin 4 (AQP4), known as NMO-IgG. Although the mechanisms underlying NMO-IgG-induced retinopathy are not fully understood, high expression of AQP4 in retinal Müller cells suggests direct interaction that may trigger inflammatory processes retina. Previous studies indicate microglia play critical role mediating immune responses, leading to neuronal dysfunction. NMO-IgG obtained from clinical...

To describe different clinical characteristics and prognosis of optic neuritis (ON) in male patients with seropositive aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-Ab) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-Ab) China. Males ON were recruited from the Neuro-ophthalmology Department Chinese People's Liberation Army, General Hospital January 2016 to February 2018. They assigned two groups based on antibodies status: MOG-Ab-seropositive (MOG-ON) Ab-seropositive (AQP4-ON). Seventy-six assessed, including 44...

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a severe demyelinating disease, is rare among children. Plasma exchange (PE) widely used as salvage therapy for and corticosteroid-unresponsive patients with NMOSD. Presently, there are limited studies on the safety efficacy of PE in children Herein, we report case six NMOSD who received along outcomes adverse events. All (female, age at onset 4 years 9 months–13 2 months) were AQP4-IgG positive standard using COM.TEC Cell Separator. The...

Detecting imminent collisions is essential for survival. Here, we used high-resolution fMRI at 7 Tesla to investigate the role of attention and consciousness detecting collision trajectory in human subcortical pathways. Healthy participants can precisely discriminate from near-miss an approaching object, with pupil size change reflecting sensitivity. Subcortical pathways superior colliculus (SC) ventromedial pulvinar (vmPul) ventral tegmental area (VTA) exhibited collision-sensitive...
