Article Abstract
Significance: Peripheral nerves are viscoelastic tissues with unique elastic characteristics. Imaging of peripheral nerve elasticity is important in medicine, particularly in the context of nerve injury and repair. Elasticity imaging techniques provide information about the mechanical properties of peripheral nerves, which can be useful in identifying areas of nerve damage or compression, as well as assessing the success of nerve repair procedures.
Aim: We aim to assess the feasibility of Brillouin microspectroscopy for peripheral nerve imaging of elasticity, with the ultimate goal of developing a new diagnostic tool for peripheral nerve injury .
Approach: Viscoelastic properties of the peripheral nerve were evaluated with Brillouin imaging spectroscopy.
Results: An external stress exerted on the fixed nerve resulted in a Brillouin shift. Quantification of the shift enabled correlation of the Brillouin parameters with nerve elastic properties.
Conclusions: Brillouin microscopy provides sufficient sensitivity to assess viscoelastic properties of peripheral nerves.

Background: Peripheral nerve injury commonly results in pain and long-term disability for patients. Recovery after in-continuity stretch or crush injury remains inherently unpredictable. However, surgical intervention yields the most favorable outcomes when performed shortly after injury.

Department of Orthopedics, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.
Objective: To analyze the filum terminale (FT) of children with tethered cord syndrome (TCS) and aborted fetuses without neurological disorders in order to investigate the expression of significantly differentially expressed proteins in the FT under both pathological and physiological conditions.
Methods: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 35 FT samples were selected, and the samples were subjected to immunohistochemistry and H&E staining. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, and P < 0.
Altered Corneal T-Cell Motility and Sensory Nerve Features in Older Adults With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection.

Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia.
Purpose: To characterize corneal immune cell morphodynamics and nerve features, and define the in vivo immune landscape in older adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), relative to healthy age-matched adults.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 16 HIV-positive individuals receiving ART and 15 age-matched controls underwent ocular surface examinations and functional in vivo confocal microscopy (Fun-IVCM). Time-lapsed videos were created to analyze corneal immune cells (T cells, dendritic cells [DCs], macrophages).
Does quadriceps contractile fatigue influence rehabilitation outcomes in COPD-chronic respiratory failure patients?

Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit, Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri IRCCS, Institute of Lumezzane, Brescia, Italy.
Background: In patients with moderate COPD, response to pulmonary rehabilitation including exercise training varies according to the presence of peripheral muscle fatigue (pMF) of quadriceps. This study investigates the role of pMF in predicting pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes in more severe COPD patients who have already developed chronic respiratory failure (COPD-CRF).
Methods: A analysis of a prospective randomised controlled trial was performed at Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri Lumezzane (Brescia, Italy), involving 30 COPD-CRF patients undergoing a pulmonary rehabilitation programme comprising 20 endurance training sessions.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a prevalent complication of diabetes, leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and amputation rates. Chronic non-healing DFU often result from peripheral neuropathy, microvascular issues, and infection, with poor blood and oxygen supply being critical factors in delayed healing. The development of new treatments to promote blood supply and accelerate ulcer healing is a significant area of research for DFU management.
