Lipoxins in the Nervous System: Brighter Prospects for Neuroprotection.

Lipoxins (LXs) are generated from arachidonic acid and are involved in the resolution of inflammation and confer protection in a variety of pathological processes. In the nervous system, LXs exert an array of protective effects against neurological diseases, including ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, neonatal hypoxia-ischemia encephalopathy, brain and spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathic pain. Lipoxin administration is a potential therapeutic strategy in neurological diseases due to its notable efficiency and unique superiority regarding safety. Here, we provide an overview of LXs in terms of their synthesis, signaling pathways and neuroprotective evidence. Overall, we believe that, along with advances in lipoxin-related drug design, LXs will bring brighter prospects for neuroprotection.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of a variety of chemicals to treat migraine in the neurology department.

Migraine refers to a group of recurrent, chronic, neurological, and vascular diseases. Long-term recurrent migraine not only affects personal life and work, but also results in a huge economic burden on the family and society. Timely and accurate diagnosis of migraine and early and standardized treatment can effectively control migraine attacks. The treatment of migraine is to quickly stop the attack, relieve the associated symptoms, prevent recurrence, and restore normal life function as soon as possible.

Conservative management of intravesical erosion of a synthetic mid-urethral sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, based on patient preference: A case report.

Intravesical mesh erosion is an uncommon late complication of placement of a synthetic mid-urethral sling (MUS) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, and only a few cases have been reported. Optimal management remains controversial, though there is a tendency toward surgical removal through a variety of routes. However, surgical removal comes with its own risks and is not necessarily associated with an improvement in symptoms. We, herein present the first case of a conservatively managed intravesical mesh erosion following MUS placement.

Erector Spinae Block with Opioid Free Anesthesia in Cirrhotic Patients Undergoing Hepatic Resection: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Hepatic resection is a major abdominal surgery with challenging pain management. We aimed to investigate the effect of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with opioid free anesthesia (OFA) in cirrhotic patients scheduled for liver resection on perioperative pain management in terms of hemodynamic stability. Secondarily, we assessed time to first request for analgesia and perioperative fentanyl consumption, nausea and vomiting within 24 hours after surgery.

Research Progress in the Pharmacological Activities, Toxicities, and Pharmacokinetics of Sophoridine and Its Derivatives.

Sophoridine is a natural quinolizidine alkaloid and a bioactive ingredient that can be isolated and identified from certain herbs, including , and . In recent years, this quinolizidine alkaloid has gained widespread attention because of its unique structure and minimal side effects. Modern pharmacological investigations have uncovered sophoridine's multiple wide range biological activities, such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-arrhythmia, and analgesic functions, among others. These pharmacological activities and beneficial effects point to sophoridine as a strong potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of various diseases, including several cancer types, hepatitis B virus, enterovirus 71, coxsackievirus B3, cerebral edema, cancer pain, heart failure, acute myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, inflammation, acute lung injury, and osteoporosis. The data showed that sophoridine had adverse reactions, including hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Additionally, analyses of sophoridine's safety, bioavailability, and pharmacokinetic parameters in animal models of research have been limited, especially in the clinic, as have been investigations on its structure-activity relationship. In this article, we comprehensively summarize the biological activities, toxicity, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of sophoridine and its derivatives, as currently reported in publications, as we attempt to provide an overall perspective on sophoridine analogs and the prospects of its application clinically.

Recurrented bilateral low-dose regional anesthesia under ultrasound guidance rather than general anesthesia in a high-risk patient: Rare a case.

Regional anesthesia practices are important because they have the advantages, for example, the patient's awareness is open, spontaneous breathing continues, airway reflexes are preserved, analgesia continues in the post-operative period, and the patient has early mobilization. Local anesthetic at high doses and volumes are used in brachial plexus blocks with nerve stimulator. However, due to the development in ultrasound (US) technology and the increase in image quality, reduced dose of limited anesthesia, and because of its advantages such as vascular and reduced risk of pleural puncture, it has become increasingly widespread. Through US, it is possible to monitor the nerves and anatomical structures, to follow the needle, and to reduce the dose by monitoring the distribution of the local anesthetic given. Organ and tissue losses and tissue infections due to multiple exothermic burns, especially after burns, require multiple surgical procedures. While taking these patients to surgery, anesthesiologists may have difficulty in many stages. For this purpose, they prefer regional anesthesia for less complications. In our study, we aimed to present a low-dose bilateral supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary block with US-guided paraplegic high-risk trauma in a patient with bilateral wounds, forearms, wrists, and wounds caused by burns.
