Comparative analysis of PRV-induced neuropathology and blood-brain barrier disruption identifies C57BL/6 as the most susceptible mouse model.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), an emerging zoonotic alphaherpesvirus, can cause severe central nervous system (CNS) injury in non-natural hosts. … findings demonstrate that C57BL/6 mice exhibit the highest susceptibility to PRV, with more severe neuropathology and BBB impairment at both early and terminal stages. These results provide important guidance for selecting appropriate mouse models for PRV-induced CNS injury research.

Associations of late-life blood pressure with CERAD, Braak, and Thal: Findings from the National Alzheimer's coordinating center neuropathology dataset.

Mid-life high blood pressure (BP) is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). CERAD amyloid β (Aβ) plaques, Braak tau neurofibrillary tangles, and Thal Aβ plaque location are major scoring systems for quantifying neuropathological features of AD. We examined the association of late-life systolic BP (SBP) with CERAD, Braak, and Thal in the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) Neuropathology Dataset. Of 1978 participants with data on CERAD, 762 had scores 0-1 (none to sparse) and 1216 had 2-3 (moderate to frequent). Of 1947 with data on Braak, 411 had stages 0-II (normal to mild) a…

Comparative neurotoxicity of Bisphenol-A and aluminum chloride in adult zebrafish: Behavioral disruption and region-specific neuropathology under chronic exposure.

The escalating environmental presence of neuroactive pollutants such as Bisphenol-A (BPA) and aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) raises critical conc … ns, confirming widespread neurodegeneration. In contrast, AlCl₃ produced moderate impairments, with neuropathology primarily confined to the cerebellum and thalamus. These differential effects suggest distinct mechanisms: BPA may disrupt synaptic plasticity and hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis signaling, whereas AlCl₃ likely involves mitochondrial dy …

Insights into Caspase-6 Mutations and Neuropathology in Huntington's Disease and Psychiatric Disorders: A Structural Genomics and Drug Repurposing Approach.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative condition that typically appears later in life, marked by progressive motor impairments, cognitive deterioration, and a range of psychiatric disturbances. Crucial to HD pathogenesis is the aberrant activation of caspase-6 (CASP6), which leads to the cleavage of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein, generating a toxic N-terminal fragment. CASP6 activity is elevated in human HD brains and is associated with the progression of neuropathology. This study aims to investigate the impact of deleterious mutations in CASP6 on the catalytic activit…

Age- and Sex-Associated Wnt Signaling Dysregulation is Exacerbated from the Early Stages of Neuropathology in an Alzheimer's Disease Model.

Emerging studies suggest that Wnt signaling is dysregulated in the brains of AD patients, suggesting that this pathway may also contribute to disease progression. However, it remains to be determined whether alterations in the Wnt pathway are the cause or consequence of this disease and which elements of Wnt signaling mainly contribute to the appearance of AD histopathological markers early in disease compared to what occurs during normal aging. The present study aimed to describe the status of several canonical Wnt pathway components and the expression of the AD marker p-tau in the hippocampi

Hawaiian native herb Mamaki prevents dementia by ameliorating neuropathology and repairing neurons in four different mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases.

Neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies are age-related disorders and the main cause of dementia. They are characterized by the cerebral accumulation of Aβ, tau, α-synuclein, and TDP-43. Because the accumulation begins decades before disease onset, treatment should be started in the preclinical stage. Such intervention would be long-lasting, and therefore, prophylactic agents should be safe, non-invasively taken by the patients, and inexpensive. In addition, the agents should be broadly effective against etiologic protein

The hippocampal sparing subtype of Alzheimer's disease assessed in neuropathology and in vivo tau positron emission tomography: a systematic review.

Neuropathology and neuroimaging studies have identified several subtypes of Alzheimer's disease (AD): hippocampal sparing AD, typical AD, and limbic predominant AD. An unresolved question is whether hippocampal sparing AD cases can present with neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in association cortices while completely sparing the hippocampus. To address that question, we conducted a systematic review and performed original analyses on tau positron emission tomography (PET) data. We searched EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science databases until October 2022. We also implemented several methods for AD …

Associations between near end-of-life flortaucipir PET and postmortem CTE-related tau neuropathology in six former American football players.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) syndrome is a recently described chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. There are few reports of CLIPPERS in the Chinese population to date. We summarized the clinical characteristics of 6 CLIPPERS patients to deepen the understanding of this disease. METHODS: The clinical manifestations and treatment of 6 CLIPPERS patients confirmed by pathology or clinical diagnosis in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The common clinical manifestati

Changes in motor behavior, neuropathology, and gut microbiota of a Batten disease mouse model following administration of acidified drinking water.

CLN3 mutations cause the fatal neurodegenerative disorder, CLN3 Batten disease. The Cln3-/- mouse model displays characteristic features of the human disease including motor deficits. When mice received acidified drinking water (pH 2.5-2.9) instead of normal tap water (pH 8.4) for several generations, the motor skills of Cln3-/- mice normalized to control levels, indicating a disease-modifying effect of acidified water. Here we investigated if acidified water administered from postnatal day 21 has therapeutic benefits in Cln3-/- mice. Indeed, acidified water temporarily attenuated the motor de

Thus, our findings demonstrate that ibuprofen treatment has the potential to be used as a neuroprotective therapeutic approach in Machado-Joseph disease.

Co-infection with Chikungunya virus alters trafficking of pathogenic CD8+ T cells into the brain and prevents Plasmodium-induced neuropathology.

Arboviral diseases have risen significantly over the last 40 years, increasing the risk of co-infection with other endemic disease such as malaria. However, nothing is known about the impact arboviruses have on the host response toward heterologous pathogens during co-infection. Here, we investigate the effects of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) co-infection on the susceptibility and severity of malaria infection. Using the Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA) experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) model, we show that concurrent co-infection induced the most prominent changes in ECM manifestation. Concurrent

Effects of Sex and Mild Intrainsult Hypothermia on Neuropathology and Neural Reorganization following Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Brain Injury in Rats.

Hypoxia ischemia (HI) is a recognized risk factor among late-preterm infants, with HI events leading to varied neuropathology and cognitive/behavioral deficits. Studies suggest a sex difference in the incidence of HI and in the severity of subsequent behavioral deficits (with better outcomes in females). Mechanisms of a female advantage remain unknown but could involve sex-specific patterns of compensation to injury. Neuroprotective hypothermia is also used to ameliorate HI damage and attenuate behavioral deficits. Though currently prescribed only for HI in term infants, cooling has potential …

A Cluster of CNS Infections Due to B. cereus in the Setting of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Neuropathology in 5 Patients.

Bacillus cereus typically causes a self-limited foodborne gastrointestinal (GI) illness. Severe invasive infection occurs rarely, mainly among immunocompromised hosts. We describe a cluster of B. cereus infections among 5 patients with acute myeloid leukemia and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The initial case presented with occipital lobe abscess and was found on biopsy to have organisms consistent with Bacillus species. Within 1 week, a second patient died of fulminant brain swelling and hemorrhage. Neuropathologic autopsy and culture revealed B. cereus; hospital infection control and publ
