Article Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious central nervous system disease with high disability and mortality rates and complex pathophysiologic mechanisms. MicroRNA (miRNA), as a kind of non-coding RNA, plays an important role in SCI. miRNA is involved in the regulation of inflammatory response, oxidative stress, axonal regeneration, and apoptosis after SCI, and interacts with long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) to regulate the pathophysiological process of SCI. This paper summarizes the changes in miRNA expression after SCI, and reviews the targeting mechanism of miRNA in SCI and the current research status of miRNA-targeted drugs to provide new targets and new horizons for basic and clinical research on SCI.

Syringomyelia is a common and heritable disorder in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS), characterised by fluid accumulation within the spinal cord that may result in pain and neurological dysfunction. The prevalence of syringomyelia in CKCS in Australia has not previously been reported. The goal of this study was to assess the prevalence and severity of syringomyelia in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-screened breeding CKCS in New South Wales, Australia, from 2008 to 2024, and to evaluate changes over time.

Limited vascularization and ischemia are major contributors to the chronicity of wounds, such as ulcers and traumatic injuries, which impose significant medical, social, and economic burdens. These challenges are particularly pronounced in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), a disabling condition associated with vascular dysfunction, infections, and impaired peripheral circulation, complicating the treatment of pressure injuries (PIs) and the success of reconstructive procedures like grafts and flaps. Regenerative medicine aims to address these issues by identifying effective cellular therapies to restore vascular beds.

The anterior commissure (AC) has an anterior and posterior limb. Despite comprehensive information about the posterior limb, there is limited and conflicting information about the anterior limb in the literature. We aimed to show the anatomical relationships of the AC with neighboring structures by using white matter microdissection and magnetic resonance (MR) tractography, primarily on the anterior limb of the AC.

Objective: Impaired ability to induce stepping after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can limit the efficacy of locomotor training, often leaving patients wheelchair-bound. The cuneiform nucleus (CNF), a key mesencephalic locomotor control center, modulates the activity of spinal locomotor centers via the reticulospinal tract. Even with severe corticospinal damage, the widely distributed reticulospinal fibers frequently cross the lesion, and lumbosacral spinal locomotor centers remain responsive.

Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, represent substantial global health challenges due to their chronic and often progressive nature. While allopathic medicine offers a range of pharmacological interventions aimed at managing symptoms and mitigating disease progression, it is accompanied by limitations, including adverse side effects, the development of drug resistance, and incomplete efficacy. In parallel, phytochemicals-bioactive compounds derived from plants-are receiving increased attention for their potential neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
