Objective:To systematically evaluate the clinical value of monoclonal antibodies for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), a multidimensional assessment of three monoclonal antibody therapies (eculizumab, inebilizumab, and satralizumab) was conducted using the updated drug evaluation framework from the Rapid Guide for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions (2nd Edition). This study aims to provide evidence-based guidance for optimizing monoclonal antibody selection in clinical practice. Methods:A quantitative scoring system was employed across five distinct domains: pharmacological properties (28 points), efficacy (27 points), safety (25 points), economics (10 points), and other attributes (10 points). Results:The comprehensive evaluation scores, with a maximum of 100 points, were as follows: eculizumab (70.43), satralizumab (69.33), and inebilizumab (68). Conclusion:Eculizumab is strongly endorsed as the first-line therapeutic option due to its optimal benefit-risk profile. Satralizumab and inebilizumab may be considered as conditional alternatives, contingent upon institutional resources and individual patient factors. This tiered recommendation framework facilitates adaptive formulary management that aligns with the evolving therapeutic landscape and socioeconomic conditions, thereby providing a replicable model for healthcare systems worldwide.
Background:Studies have confirmed that optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) can detect early retinal microvascular impairment in many diseases. However, as far as we know, only one study has found retinal and optic disc microcirculation changes in Wilson's disease (WD) by OCTA. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the OCTA parameters in WD. Methods:We performed a cross-sectional study at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University between June 2021 and April 2022. A total of 42 WD patients and 40 gender- and age-matched healthy controls (HEC) were recruited in this study. WD patients were divided into neurological form (NWD) and hepatic form (HWD) of the disease. All participants underwent retinal OCTA to assess the superficial vessel density (VD), deep VD, and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters. The FAZ parameters included the area in mm2, perimeter in mm, and VD of the 300 µm-width annulus surrounding FAZ (FD-300). Statistical tests used in this study included Chi-squared test, one-way analysis, correlation analysis, and t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results:WD patients comprised 21 females and 21 males, with mean age of 30.54±9.83 years. HEC comprised 16 females and 24 males, with mean age of 30.42±7.37 years. NWD had smaller FD-300 (51.67%±5.29% vs. 55.87%±3.85%, P<0.01) than HEC and smaller FD-300 (51.67%±5.29% vs. 55.42%±4.09%, P<0.05) than HWD. There was no significant difference in OCTA parameters between HWD and HEC. Conclusions:Our study indicated that OCTA may be a useful tool for detecting central nervous system (CNS) injury in WD. We speculate that the decrease of FD-300 may be a sign of CNS injury in WD.
Introduction Wernekinck commissure syndrome (WCS) is an extremely rare midbrain syndrome, which selectively destroys the decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncle and the central tegmental tract, which commonly presents with bilateral cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, and internuclear ophthalmoplegia. Palatal myoclonus in Wernekinck commissure syndrome is uncommon and often occurs as a late phenomenon due to hypertrophic degeneration of bilateral inferior olivary nuclei. Material and method A patient with WCS, admitted to our hospital from December 2023, was chosen for this study, and the syndrome's clinical manifestations, imaging features, and etiology were retrospectively analyzed based on the literature. A 68-year-old right-handed East Asian man presented with dizziness, slurred speech, difficulty with swallowing and walking, and rhythmic contractions of the soft palate. He had several risk factors for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases (age, sex, dyslipidemia, hypertension and smoking history). Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperintensity of DWI and hypointensity of ADC at the caudal midbrain which was around the paramedian mesencephalic tegmentum anterior to the aqueduct of midbrain. Results He was diagnosed with Wernekinck commissure syndrome (WCS) secondary to caudal paramedian midbrain infarction. He was started on dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) and intensive statin therapy. Blood pressure and glucose were also adjusted. His symptoms improved rapidly, and he walked steadily and speak clearly after 7 days of treatment. Conclusions Palatal myoclonus is known to occur as a late phenomenon due to hypertrophic degeneration of bilateral inferior olivary nuclei. However, Our case suggests that palatal myoclonus can occur in the early stages in WCS.
A retrospective analysis was performed on one case of adult-onset type Ⅱcitrullinemia(CTLN2)caused by homozygous mutations of SLC25A13 genes.The patient,a 28-year-old male,had repeated limb convulsions for more than 4 years and worsened for 2 months.He usually liked to eat peanuts and meat.The brain MRI examination showed no abnormality,and anti-epileptic treatment was not effective.Further examination of blood aminotransferase,blood ammonia and citrulline were elevated,genetic testing showed that the SLC25A13 gene c.851_854del homozygous pathogenic mutation,the diagnosis was CTLN2,and the treatment was treated with a high-protein,high-fat,low-sugar diet and arginine,and there were no seizures followed up for half a year.Patients with recurrent seizures with special dietary preferences should be paid attention to the possibility of CTLN2,and genetic testing plays an important role in the diagnosis of CTLN2 and provides a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Abstract Background Morphological changes of retina in patients with Wilson's disease (WD) can be found by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and such changes had significant differences between neurological forms (NWD) and hepatic forms (HWD) of WD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between morphological parameters of retina and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions, course of disease, type of disease, and sexuality in WD. Methods A total of 46 WD patients and 40 health controls (HC) were recruited in this study. A total of 42 WD patients were divided into different groups according to clinical manifestations, course of disease, sexuality, and brain MRI lesions. We employed the Global Assessment Scale to assess neurological severity of WD patients. All WD patients and HC underwent retinal OCT to assess the thickness of inner limiting membrane (ILM) layer to retinal pigment epithelium layer and inner retina layer (ILM to inner plexiform layer, ILM–IPL). Results Compared to HWD, NWD had thinner superior parafovea zone (108.07 ± 6.89 vs. 114.40 ± 5.54 μm, p < .01), temporal parafovea zone (97.17 ± 6.65 vs. 103.60 ± 4.53 μm, p < .01), inferior parafovea zone (108.114 ± 7.65 vs. 114.93 ± 5.84 μm, p < .01), and nasal parafovea zone (105.53 ± 8.01 vs. 112.10 ± 5.44 μm, p < .01) in inner retina layer. Course of disease influenced the retina thickness. Male patients had thinner inner retina layer compared to female patients. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that WD had thinner inner retina layer compared to HC, and NWD had thinner inner retina layer compared to HWD. We speculated the thickness of inner retina layer may be a potential useful biomarker for NWD.
Objective To analyze and explore the risk factors for neurological symptoms in patients with purely hepatic Wilson's disease (WD) at diagnosis. Methods This retrospective study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Guangdong Pharmaceutical University on 68 patients with purely hepatic WD aged 20.6 ± 7.2 years. The physical examinations, laboratory tests, color Doppler ultrasound of the liver and spleen, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain were performed. Results The elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels and 24-h urinary copper level were higher in the purely hepatic WD who developed neurological symptoms (NH-WD) group than those in the purely hepatic WD (H-WD) group. Adherence to low-copper diet, and daily oral doses of penicillamine (PCA) and zinc gluconate (ZG) were lower in the NH-WD group than those in the H-WD group. Logistic regression analysis showed that insufficient doses of PCA and ZG were associated with the development of neurological symptoms in patients with purely hepatic WD at diagnosis. Conclusion The development of neurological symptoms in patients with purely hepatic WD was closely associated with insufficient doses of PCA and ZG, and the inferior efficacy of copper-chelating agents. During the course of anti-copper treatment, the patient's medical status and the efficacy of copper excretion should be closely monitored.

Abstract Background: Morphological changes of retina in patients with Wilson’s disease (WD) can be found by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and such changes have significant differences between neurological forms(NWD ) and hepatic forms (HWD) of WD. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between morphological parameters of retina and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes, course of disease, type of disease and sexuality in WD. This is a single center, prospective study including forty-six WD patients and forty healthy controls (HC). We employed theGlobal Assessment Scale (GAS) to assess the the neurological sign of WD patients. Results: NWD had thinner superior parafovea zone (108.07±6.89 um vs. 114.40±5.54 um, p<0.01), temporal parafovea zone (97.17±6.65 um vs. 103.60±4.53 um, p<0.01), inferior parafovea zone (108.114±7.65 um vs. 114.93±5.84 um, p<0.01) nasal parafovea zone (105.53±8.01 um vs. 112.10±5.44 um, p<0.01) in inner retina thickness than HWD. The course of disease influenced the retina thickness, male patients had thinner inner retina thickness than female patients. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that WD had thinner inner retina thickness than HC and NWD had thinner inner retina thickness than HWD. We spectualted the thickness of inner retina layer may a potential useful biomarker for NWD.
To measure the linear structure of the brain in patients with Wilson's disease (WD) and analyze its correlation with neurological symptoms. A total of 174 patients diagnosed with WD were enrolled. According to the type of clinical presentation, the patients with WD were divided into two groups: neurological (NWD) and hepatic (HWD). Sixty healthy volunteers were assigned to a control group. All patients with WD and healthy controls underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The severity of the neurological symptoms was assessed using the Burke Fahn Marsden Movement subscale (BFM-M). Linear brain measurements were performed using T1-weighted MRI scans of all the patients, and the correlation between these linear indices and BFM-M score was investigated. The Huckman index, third ventricle width, and sulcus width of the NWD group were significantly higher than those of the HWD and control groups (P < .05). The frontal horn index, ventricular index, and lateral ventricular body width index of the NWD group were significantly lower than those of the HWD and control groups (P < .05). The Huckman index and third ventricle width of the HWD group were higher than those of the control group (P < .05), whereas the body width index of the lateral ventricle was lower than that of the control group (P < .05). The BFM-M score correlated with the Huckman index (r = 0.29, P < .05), third ventricle width (r = 0.426, P < .001), and lateral ventricular body width index (r = -0.19, P < .05). This study demonstrated significant changes in the linear structure of patients with WD. Linear brain measurement analysis could be used as a potential method to assess the severity of neurological symptoms in WD.
Background:Hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD), also known as Wilson disease (WD), is a rare autosomal-recessive hereditary disease, which is often missed and misdiagnosed because of its various clinical manifestations. And WD is even more rare with giant subarachnoid cysts. In this report, we will provide a case of WD with an intracranial arachnoid cyst (IAC). Case description:A 27-year-old woman was hospitalized in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Guangzhou with the first manifestation of a "slight involuntary tremor of her left upper limb". There was no improvement after acupuncture treatment, and then she was transferred to another large general hospital in Guangzhou. MRI examination of the head showed "left frontal, parietal and temporal giant subarachnoid cyst" and the patient underwent "left frontotemporal arachnoid cyst celiac shunt operation." After the operation, the patient's left limb shaking remained unchanged. Subsequently, the patient was referred to another big hospital in Guangzhou, considered "Parkinson's disease," and given "Medopa, Antan" and other treatments. However, the patient's limb shaking continued to increase and gradually developed to the extremities. At last, the patient was referred to our hospital, combined with the medical history, neurological signs, and auxiliary examination results, improve the examination of corneal K-F ring, blood ceruloplasmin, gene screening, and other tests; the diagnosis was confirmed as hepatolenticular degeneration. Conclusion:After expelling copper and symptomatic treatment, the condition is improved.

The slow onset of traditional antidepressants has become an urgent clinical issue, researchers are constantly exploring new antidepressants with prompt action. Previous studies have found that zinc levels were decreased in serum and brain of depressed patients or animal models. Zinc treatment can improve depressive symptoms and enhance the antidepressant effects of monoamine antidepressants. However, its mechanism of action is still unclear. This present study aims to investigate whether the zinc can enhance the rapid action of traditional antidepressant imipramine and to explore the potential mechanisms of action through the rapid antidepressant targets CREB (cAMP-response element binding protein) and mTOR (mammalian target of the rapamycin). Drug treatment included intraperitoneal injection of imipramine or zinc alone and imipramine plus zinc. Zinc had a rapid enhanced antidepressive effect on the imipramine and achieved a rapid antidepressant effect similar to ketamine. Combination of zinc with imipramine rapidly enhanced the phosphorylation of mTOR Ser2448 and CREB Ser133, and increased the expression of mTOR and CREB, which were dependent on the activation of PKA. In conclusion, combination therapy with zinc and monoamine antidepressants may overcome the problem of slow-onset action of traditional antidepressants in clinical uses.
