Aims: The present study evaluated the effects of resveratrol in the myenteric plexus after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury caused by occluding the superior mesenteric artery for 45min, followed by 7days of reperfusion.
Main Methods: Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups: control (C group), untreated sham surgery control (SC group), sham surgery control treated with resveratrol before surgery (STA group), sham surgery control treated with resveratrol before and after surgery (STAD group), ischemic control (IRC group), ischemic treated before I/R (IRTA group), and ischemic treated before and after I/R (IRTAD group). Resveratrol (10mg/kg) was administered for 4days and 2h prior to surgery and/or 7days later. Morphometric analyses were performed, and the density of the general neuronal population (HuC/D-immunoreactive [IR]), nitrergic subpopulation (neuronal nitric oxide synthase [nNOS]-IR), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)ergic varicosities (VIP-IR), and glial cells (S100-IR) was determined.
Key Findings: Injury that was caused by I/R significantly reduced (p<0.01) the HuC/D-IR general neuronal population. Treatment with resveratrol before and after ischemia had a neuroprotective effect. Morphometric changes caused by I/R in nitrergic neurons and varicosities were also attenuated by resveratrol. Ischemia/reperfusion promoted the proliferation of enteric glial cells, and resveratrol treatment before and after I/R reversed this effect.
Significance: Resveratrol had neuroprotective effects, showing promise for application in intestinal surgery and transplants.

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurological syndrome characterized by the gradual deterioration of language capabilities. Due to its neurodegenerative nature, PPA is marked by a continuous decline, necessitating ongoing and adaptive therapeutic interventions. Recent studies have demonstrated that behavioral therapies, particularly when combined with neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can improve treatment outcomes, including the long-term maintenance and generalization of therapeutic effects.

Background: As a non-competitive blocker of the -methyl-d-aspartate receptor, ketamine is widely used for anesthesia and pain relief in clinical settings. However, certain neurological side effects may appear if it is used for the long term. According to clinical observations, anesthetic doses of ketamine trigger postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction in elderly patients, while subanesthetic doses of ketamine suppress the postoperative neuronal pyroptosis in the hippocampus, ameliorating the cognitive function.

It is known that quercetin is useful in the treatment of pressure wounds due to its ability to reduce oxygen radicals, but its effect on eyelid wound healing is unclear. In this study, forty male Wistar albino rats weighing 250-300 grams were used to investigate the effect of quercetin on eyelid wound healing. Four groups were created: control group, sham group, incision wound group, and suture + quercetin group.

Introduction: Neuropathic pain severely affects patients' quality of life. Limited treatments offer relief but often involve long-term use and side effects.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the electroacupuncture (EA) and subanesthetic alfaxalone (ALF) combination as a novel therapeutic substitute for the treatment of neuropathic pain in a spared nerve injury (SNI) mouse model.

Objective: To explore the feasibility of establishing a mouse stellate ganglion (SG) regulation model through infrared polarized light (IPL) irradiation of the SG, and preliminarily evaluate its effects on SG function and related physiological indicators. Surgery, and IPL groups, with 8 mice in each group. A ZZIR-ID therapeutic device was used to directly irradiate bilateral SG regions of IPL group mice, with wavelength 980 nm, power density 1000 mW/cm2, 10 min per session (5 min per side), every other day for 6 times.
