Article Abstract

(1) Background: The double pelvic osteotomy (DPO) is a prophylactic surgical procedure associated with 0.4% incidence of sciatic nerve injury. The piezoelectric cutting tool is a surgical device able to involve only mineralized tissue avoiding neurovascular tissue and other soft tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the sciatic nerve injury observed in dogs underwent iliac osteotomy performed using the piezoelectric cutting tool. (2) Methods: Dogs underwent DPO performed with piezoelectric cutting tool were included. Neurological assessment was performed 6 and 24 h after surgery and then repeated 12 days, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Temporary and or permanent sciatic nerve injury were recorded. (3) Results: 84 DPOs performed in fifty dogs were included. No temporary/permanent neurological disease associated with iatrogenic damage of the sciatic nerve were observed. (4) Conclusions: The iliac osteotomy performed with piezoelectric cutting tool was not associated to iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury.

Neuroinflammation is vital in vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN). Locally infiltrated macrophages polarize to pro-inflammatory M1-type, release inflammatory cytokines, and contribute to neuropathic pain. Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) regulates macrophage polarization.

Crocin facilitates peripheral nerve regeneration through modulation of the STAT3/Bcl-2/Beclin-1 signaling axis-mediated autophagic pathway.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is notoriously difficult to repair due to impaired axonal regeneration and dysregulated inflammatory microenvironments. This study demonstrates that crocin facilitates peripheral nerve regeneration by modulating the STAT3/Bcl-2/Beclin-1 signaling axis, enhancing autophagy while suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. In a rat model of sciatic nerve crush injury, crocin treatment improved axonal regrowth and ultrastructural remyelination, as evidenced by upregulated expression of β3-Tubulin, neurofilament-200 (NF200), and myelin basic protein (MBP), alongside significantly elevated sciatic functional index (SFI) scores, reduced muscle atrophy, and diminished collagen deposition.

Introduction: Difficulty with walking can lead to reduced quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease (pwPD); improving walking is considered a treatment priority. Drug therapies can control PD symptoms; however, pwPD often still experience mobility problems.Functional electrical stimulation (FES) induces movement in weak muscles via external electrical stimulation.

Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) and Charcot Marie Tooth type 2S (CMT2S) are due to mutations in immunoglobulin mu binding protein two (IGHMBP2). We generated the -R604X mouse (R605X-humans) to understand how alterations in IGHMBP2 function impact disease pathology. The IGHMBP2-R605X mutation is associated with patients with SMARD1 or CMT2S.

Peripheral nerve defect repair is a complex process that involves multiple cell types; perineurial cells play a pivotal role. Hair follicle neural crest stem cells promote perineurial cell proliferation and migration via paracrine signaling; however, their clinical applications are limited by potential risks such as tumorigenesis and xenogeneic immune rejection, which are similar to the risks associated with other stem cell transplantations. The present study therefore focuses on small extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells, which preserve the bioactive properties of the parent cells while avoiding the transplantation-associated risks.
