Objective: To investigate the clinical features and imaging characteristics of mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). Methods: Seventeen patients with MELAS diagnosed in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2014 to August 2018 were enrolled in this study and their clinical manifestations, imaging and histopathological features were retrospectively analysed. We also discussed and summarised the related literature. Results: All of the 12 patients had seizures; stroke-like episodes in 12 cases; audio-visual impairment in 12 cases; headache in six cases; dysplasia in four cases; mental retardation in three cases; ataxia in two cases. On cranial magnetic resonance (MR) scans, the most common manifestations were in temporal-occipital-parietal lobe, cortical or subcortical areas as well as frontal lobe, thalamus, and basal ganglia showing long or equal T1 signals, long T2 signals, and hyperintense or iso-intense diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signals accompanied by ventricular enlargement and brain atrophy. MR spectroscopy showed that lactic acid peaks could be found in lesion sites, normal brain tissues, and cerebrospinal fluid. Muscle biopsy and genetic testing are the gold standard for diagnosing MELAS, muscle biopsy revealed COX-negative muscle fibres and SDH-stained red ragged fibres (RRF) under the sarcolemma. Mutations of mtDNA A3243G locus were common on gene testing. Improvement of mitochondrial function was observed after symptomatic and supportive treatment. Conclusion: MELAS should be considered for patients with epileptic seizures, headache, stroke-like episodes, extraocular palsy, cognitive decline and other clinical manifestations with the lesion located in the temporal-occipital-parietal lobe regardless of the distribution of blood vessels, and further examinations including muscle biopsy and gene testing should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate the anatomical characteristics, clinical manifestations, and imaging features of bilateral cerebral peduncular infarction. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 11 patients diagnosed with bilateral cerebral peduncular infarction in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from December 2014 to December 2018. Their clinical and imaging features were analyzed and summarized in combination with the relevant national and international literature. Results: Among all the patients, there were eight cases with a history of hypertension, four cases with a history of diabetes mellitus, and four cases with a history of smoking. Conscious disturbance was observed in nine cases, quadriplegia in seven cases, pseudobulbar paralysis in three cases, and ataxia in one case. Brain magnetic resonance (MR) scans of bilateral cerebral peduncles showed patchy abnormal shadows with a hypointense signal on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and hyperintense signal on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans of head and neck showed severe stenosis or occlusion of vertebral artery, basilar artery, or posterior cerebral artery. All the patients received standardized treatment for cerebral infarction. Six patients died while five were left disabled. Conclusion: Bilateral cerebral peduncle infarction may be related to cerebral perfusion insufficiency caused by the stenosis or occlusion of vertebrobasilar artery and its branches. The main clinical manifestations are locked-in syndrome and persistent vegetative state. The specific imaging feature of "Mickey Mouse ear"-like infarction is associated with a poor prognosis.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical and imaging features of patients with hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP).MethodsA retrospective study was performed on 22 patients with HCP diagnosed at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from February 2014 to September 2017.ResultsA headache was present as an initial symptom in 18 patients. The headache was associated with the loss of vision (2 cases), facial pain (1 case), and unsteady walking (1 case). Other symptoms included cranial nerve dysfunction (15 cases), cerebellar ataxia (4 cases), and sinus thrombosis (3 cases). In the laboratory tests, 7 patients showed an increased number of white blood cells, higher levels of C-reaction protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). An elevated level of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) and the presence of the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) were found in 3 and 2 patients respectively. There were 17 patients who had abnormalities in their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on lumbar puncture. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a local or generalized thickening was observed in the cerebral falx, the tentorium of the cerebellum, the fronto-parietal lobe, the occipito-parietal lobe, and the dura of skull base. A dural biopsy obtained in one case showed a variety of inflammatory changes. An immunohistochemical analysis revealed the positivity of CD138, IgG, and IgG4 in some cells. All 22 patients had a good response to corticosteroids.ConclusionHCP mainly leads to a headache and the paralysis of multiple cranial nerves. A biopsy and MRI are often required and serve as the basis for the diagnosis and effective therapy.
Objective: To analyze the clinical and imaging features of hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP).Methods:One case of HCP was reported,and the relevant literature was reviewed and retrospectively analyzed.Results:The patient experienced headache at the onset of illness along with decreased visual acuity. Hematology test:ANA(+).Lumbar puncture:cerebrospinal fluid pressure≥330 mmH2O.Cerebral MRI,plain and enhanced: cerebral falx and tentorium of cerebellum, bilateral frontal parietal dura thickening and enhancement.Dural biopsy:fibrous hyaline tissue scattered around lymphocytes and plasma cells,most apparent surrounding blood vessels. Immunohistochemistry: CD138 (+), IgG (individual cells +), IgG4 (individual cells+).Hormone therapy significantly improved symptoms.We collected data of 189 cases of HCP reported in the last 5 years. Headache is the most presented initial symptom. Dural hypertrophy and enhancement in different parts of the head was observed in all patients by plain and enhanced cranial MRI. After hormone treatment, combined hormone and immunosuppressive treatment, or surgical treatment, more than 90% of the patients'symptoms were improved. Conclusion: The clinical symptoms of HCP can be characterized by chronic headache, cranial nerve involvement, and ataxia. It is imperative to perform hematological examination, plain and enhanced cranial magnetic resonance imaging,and,when necessary,dura mater biopsy to make a diagnosis.

Neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in Alzheimer's disease (AD).A growing number of studies proved that nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome was involved in the neuroinflammation of AD through multiple mechanisms,which are crucial to the initiation and development of AD.In this paper,we will summarize the role ofNLRP3 inflammasome and its potential mechanism in AD pathogenesis,as well as NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors.
Activated Metabotropic glutamate receptors 5(mGluR5) exhibits protective effects against ischemic brain damage, but the underlying mechanisms are not clearly known. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as a valuable member of neurotrophic factor family, exerts its protection by combining with its high-affinity receptor tyrosine protein kinase B (TrkB). To investigate the role of activated mGluR5 against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)/reoxygenation (R)-mediated cytotoxicity, the cell viability, apoptosis, the release of inflammatory cytokines and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated in BV2 cells (Microglia cell line) with or without OGD/R exposure. Our data show that CHPG (the selective mGluR5 agonist) pretreatment, as an mGluR5 agonist, protected BV2 cells against OGD/R-induced cytotoxicity, apoptosis, the release of inflammatory cytokines, and the accumulation of ROS. However, these effects were significantly reversed by the mGluR5 antagonist MPEP pretreatment. Our data also show that the expressions of BDNF and TrkB were significantly decreased in BV2 cells with OGD/R exposure. CHPG pretreatment significantly enhanced the expressions of BDNF and TrkB in BV2 cells with OGD/R exposure. However, the increased expressions were significantly abrogated by MPEP pretreatment. In addition, inhibition of BDNF/TrKB pathway by K252a also attenuated the protective effects of activated mGluR5 against OGD/R-induced cytotoxicity, apoptosis and the release of inflammatory cytokines. Morever, pretreatment with exogenous BDNF protected BV2 cells against OGD/R induced apoptosis and release of inflammatory cytokines. These data suggested that BDNF/TrKB pathway may be involved in regulating activated mGluR5' protective effects against OGD/R induced cytotoxicity in BV2 cells. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
