Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields Ameliorate Skeletal Deterioration in Bone Mass, Microarchitecture, and Strength by Enhancing Canonical Wnt Signaling-Mediated Bone Formation in Rats with Spinal Cord Injury

Xi Shao et al.

Summary: Results from rat SCI models show that PEMF treatment significantly improves bone microarchitecture and mechanical properties deteriorated by SCI, enhances bone formation without affecting bone resorption, and mitigates negative changes induced by SCI, potentially through canonical Wnt signaling-mediated bone formation.

Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Valery L. Feigin et al.

Summary: Regularly updated data on stroke including incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, and trends are crucial for evidence-based care planning. The Global Burden of Diseases Study provides comprehensive measurement of these metrics. From 1990 to 2019, while age-standardized rates improved, the number of strokes and deaths increased. Low-income countries had the highest stroke-related mortality and DALY rates, with high body-mass index being the fastest-growing risk factor.

Mesencephalic Electrical Stimulation Reduces Neuroinflammation after Photothrombotic Stroke in Rats by Targeting the Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Pathway

Michael K. Schuhmann et al.

Summary: The research suggests that high-frequency stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) may trigger anti-inflammatory processes within the perilesional area by modulating the cholinergic system.

Targeting the Immune System for Ischemic Stroke

Shenpeng R. Zhang et al.

Summary: Stroke is a leading cause of death with limited treatment options, leading to disabilities and complications for survivors. Immune cell-mediated inflammatory injury plays a crucial role in exacerbating stroke development, while balancing pro- and anti-inflammatory mechanisms is key to improving long-term outcomes.

Stroke subtype-dependent synapse elimination by reactive gliosis in mice

Xiaojing Shi et al.

Summary: This study showed that inhibiting phagocytosis of microglia and astrocytes in ischemic stroke improved neurobehavioral outcomes, attenuated brain damage, and prevented synapse loss. In hemorrhagic stroke, inhibiting phagocytosis of microglia/macrophages but not astrocytes improved neurobehavioral outcomes. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed downregulation of phagocytosis-related processes in astrocytes of the hemorrhagic brain compared to the ischemic brain.

Cholinergic Modulation of Neuroinflammation: Focus on α7 Nicotinic Receptor

Roberta Piovesana et al.

Summary: Neurological pathologies lead to neuroinflammation, which can exacerbate neuronal and glial cell damage. Targeting neuroinflammation may reduce brain injury and rescue neuronal and glial cell functions.

Electroacupuncture Ameliorates Acute Pancreatitis: A Role for the Vagus Nerve-Mediated Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Pathway

Luyao Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that electroacupuncture can increase vagus nerve activity, suppress systemic inflammation, alleviate pancreatic histopathological manifestations, and increase the frequency of alpha 7nAchR. However, vagotomy or treatment with an alpha 7nAChR antagonist can weaken the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture.

M2 microglial small extracellular vesicles reduce glial scar formation via the miR-124/STAT3 pathway after ischemic stroke in mice

Zongwei Li et al.

Summary: M2 microglial small extracellular vesicles decreased glial scar formation and promoted recovery after stroke through miR-124, inhibiting astrocyte proliferation and transforming them into neuronal progenitor cells. These vesicles also downregulated Notch 1 expression and upregulated Sox2 expression in astrocytes.
