This study investigates the effects of Ganoderic Acid DM (GA-DM), a natural extract from Ganoderma lucidum, on B-cell lymphoma. The research demonstrates that GA-DM exhibits anti-proliferative activit...
KEY FINDING: GA-DM induces apoptosis in human B-cell lymphoma cell lines DB and Toledo, and orchestrates autophagy and apoptosis in the murine B-cell lymphoma cell line A20.
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2025 • February 14, 2025
This study investigated the effects of Rosa canina oligosaccharide liposomal formulation (Oligo-L) on sensory-motor function, following SCI in rats. The findings indicated that Oligo-L treatment led t...
KEY FINDING: Oligo-L treatment significantly improved neuropathic pain and motor function performance in rats with SCI from the first week post-injury.
Turk J Phys Med Rehab, 2024 • December 19, 2023
This case report describes a 42-year-old female with persistent neuropathic pain in her soles following a cervical spinal cord injury. The patient had been experiencing this pain for eight years and h...
KEY FINDING: Daytime and nighttime pain levels (Visual Analog Scale) improved after botulinum toxin type A injection.
NMR in Biomedicine, 2025 • February 6, 2025
This study validated multiparametric chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) and quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers for assessing SCI severity, ...
KEY FINDING: qMT PSR measurements reflect the myelination status of the white matter tissue. The riluzole treatment group indicated significantly higher PSR values in white matter voxels at the epicenter of injury compared to the HBC vehicle treatment group.
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2025 • March 1, 2025
This study investigates the effects of HDAC6 inhibition on neuropathic pain using a spared nerve injury (SNI) mouse model and demonstrates that the selective HDAC6 inhibitor ACY-1215 significantly all...
KEY FINDING: ACY-1215 ameliorated SNI-induced pain starting from Day 7 post-SNI operation, achieving relatively stable efficacy by Day 13 in both male and female mice.
Cureus, 2025 • February 22, 2025
This retrospective study examined the impact of volatile anesthetics (desflurane vs. sevoflurane) on functional outcomes in cervical SCI patients undergoing upper extremity nerve transfer procedures. ...
KEY FINDING: The desflurane group had greater median motor strength than the sevoflurane group towards the final follow-up when the desflurane group had median motor strength of 3 [interquartile range (IQR): 1-4] and sevoflurane group had a median motor strength of 1 (IQR: 0-2.25); p=0.014.
Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2025 • March 13, 2025
This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the combined use of LGZ and SIN in treating NP using network pharmacology and metabolomics. The combination of LGZ and SIN demonstrate...
KEY FINDING: The combination of LGZ and SIN significantly alleviated pain-like behaviors in CCI rats in a time- and dose-dependent manner, demonstrating superior therapeutic effects compared to LGZ or SIN alone.
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2025 • March 19, 2025
The study investigates the therapeutic effects of teriparatide in a rat model of SCI, focusing on its ability to mitigate oxidative stress and improve neurological recovery. Results demonstrate that t...
KEY FINDING: Teriparatide treatment significantly enhanced motor function recovery post-SCI in rats, as assessed by open field tests and BBB scoring.
African Health Sciences, 2024 • December 1, 2024
This review summarizes the protective effects of Ginsenoside Rd (GSRd) in central nervous system diseases, highlighting its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and its potential therapeutic appli...
KEY FINDING: Ginsenoside Rd (GSRd) has shown protective effects in neurological diseases such as ischemic stroke, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2025 • March 24, 2025
This study investigated the therapeutic potential of pelargonidin, an anthocyanin, in a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI). The primary focus was on assessing the impact of pelargonidin on sensorim...
KEY FINDING: Pelargonidin significantly attenuated neuropathic pain, improved motor performance, and reduced weight loss in rats with SCI.
