Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are highly sought-after metal nanoparticles globally due to their distinctive electronic and optical characteristics, as well as their biological properties. These attributes stem from the synchronized movements of conduction electrons, referred to as surface plasmon resonance. Currently, numerous bio-medical characteristics of biosynthesized Ag nanoparticles have been thoroughly documented, including their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial properties. Nevertheless, there have been no reports regarding the neuroprotective efficacy of these nanoparticles against cytotoxic agents. It appears that the defensive capabilities of the NPs formulated by green methods have been disregarded thus far. We recently did research to assess the neuroprotective effects of a combination of Tribulus terrestris and green-mediated silver nanoparticles on a contusive spinal cord injury model in animals. The silver nanoparticles underwent comprehensive characterization through UV-Vis, FE-SEM, FT-IR, and TEM analyses. In the in vivo phase of the research, a total of forty rats were categorized into three groups: untreated, normal, and silver nanoparticles (50 mu g/kg) groups. The post-injury lesions were analyzed using H&E staining. To evaluate the restoration of neural conduction, somatosensory evoked potential testing was conducted. The presence of astrogliosis was determined by evaluating the expression of GFAP. The rats' behavioral outcomes were assessed using the BBB score every week. The utilization of silver nanoparticles demonstrated neuroprotective properties and resulted in enhancements in spinal cord injury. The results of the sensory assessments indicated a notable rise in the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan scales, along with a marked decline in delayed reactions, among the subjects who received treatment with silver nanoparticles. The most substantial decrease in GFAP levels was noted in the group that was administered silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, there was a substantial decrease in the size of the cavity regions, while the quantity of ventral motor neurons experienced a significant rise within the silver nanoparticles group. The electromyography (EMG) results demonstrated a remarkable enhancement in the hindlimbs of the subjects who received treatment with silver nanoparticles (50 mu g/kg).

Objective To compare the surgical outcome and its influences on cognition and memory of hippocampal transection and selective amygdalohippocampectomy for intractable medial temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods Clinical data of 19 patients with intractable medial temporal lobe epilepsy were analyzed retrospectively, including 8 patients receiving hippocampal transection (observation group) and 11 receiving selective amygdalohippocampectomy (control group). The seizure control rate after surgery and neuropsychological examinations before and after surgery were analyzed and compared. Results There was no significant difference in seizure control rates between two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in performance intelligence quotient (PIQ), verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ), full intelligence quotient (FIQ) and memory quotient (MQ) before and after surgery in observation group (P>0.05). The PIQ, FIQ and MQ after surgery in control group were obviously lower than those before surgery (P<0.05). There was significant difference in MQ differentials before and after surgery between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Hippocampal transection can effectively control seizure, make little damage to the function of neuropsychology and especially can well preserve the memory function.

BACKGROUND/AIMS:The coexistence of scoliosis and split cord malformation (SCM) is often encountered. The characteristics of the osseous septum of SCM are still unknown to us. Here we try to delineate the configuration and nature of the osseous septa. The correlation between scoliosis and SCM is also discussed.METHODS:48 patients hospitalized for scoliosis were studied. SCM was subsequently identified in all of the patients. These patients underwent operations and were retrospectively evaluated.RESULTS:The figuration, component, location and nature of osseous septa are described. 47 of the 48 SCMs (98%) were type I. Only 1 case was type II. 43 patients (90%) had 1 osseous septum. The other 5 patients (10%) had 2 osseous septa at different levels. 41 septa (78%) were mainly made of cortical bone, another 6 septa (11%) were mainly made of cancellous bone, while the other 6 (11%) were bone together with soft tissues. The prominent central blood vessels were found in 19 cases (36%). 10 osseous septa (19%) were derived from neural arches. 15 osseous septa (28%) were from both vertebral bodies and neural arches.CONCLUSION:We assumed that SCM might contribute to the progress of scoliosis. It is recommended that removal of the spur be carried out before corrective surgery on the spine.
