Article Abstract

Cerebral edema is characterized by fluid accumulation, and the glymphatic system (GS) plays a pivotal role in regulating fluid transport. Using the Tenecteplase system, magnesium salt of salvianolic acid B/ginsenoside Rg1 (SalB/Rg1) was injected intravenously into mice 4.5 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion and once every 24 h for the following 72 h. GS function was assessed by Evans blue imaging, near-infrared fluorescence region II (NIR-II) imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). SalB/Rg1 had significant effects on reducing the infarct volume and hemorrhagic transformation score, improving neurobehavioral function, and protecting tissue structure, especially inhibiting cerebral edema. Meanwhile, the influx/efflux drainage of GS was enhanced by SalB/Rg1 according to NIR-II imaging and MRI. SalB/Rg1 inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity, reduced cleaved β-dystroglycan (β-DG), and stabilized aquaporin-4 (AQP4) polarity, which was verified by colocalization with CD31. Our findings indicated that SalB/Rg1 treatment enhances GS function and attenuates cerebral edema, accompanying the regulation of the MMP9/β-DG/AQP4 pathway.

Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) dysfunction acts as a key mediator of ischemic brain injury, contributing to brain edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and neuronal damage. The integrity of the BBB is largely maintained by tight junction proteins, such as Claudin-5, and its disruption exacerbates neurological deficits. Neurokinin B (NKB), a neuropeptide that belongs to the tachykinin family, has been implicated in various physiological processes, including neuroinflammation and vascular function.

Peri-lead edema in deep brain stimulation: common complication or rare challenge?

Front Surg

August 2025

Department of Neurology, University Hospital and Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacký University, Olomouc, Czechia.

Introduction: Peri-lead edema (PLE) is a commonly observed but often asymptomatic complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS). While usually transient and benign, severe cases of PLE can result in neurological symptoms, impacting patient outcomes. This case series explores the clinical course, management, and outcomes of symptomatic PLE in a series of five patients undergoing DBS.

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), particularly when it involves the central nervous system (CNS), remains a significant clinical challenge. Cerebral tuberculoma, though rare, can present with complex symptoms that overlap with other neurological conditions, making timely diagnosis difficult. The condition demands a multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and effective management, especially in patients with multiple comorbidities.

Introduction: Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, with limited therapeutic options and high rates of recurrence. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in neuronal injury during ischemia-reperfusion, making mitochondrial autophagy a potential therapeutic target. Gypenoside XLIX, a major active metabolite of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, exhibits antioxidant and organ-protective properties, but its effects on neuronal mitochondrial damage in stroke remain unclear.
