Analgesic Contrast of Diverse Administrations of Botulinum Neurotoxin A (BoTN/A) Using Rat Neuropathic Pain Model
Qiong-Fang Yang, Li-Zu Xiao, Wei-Jiao Xie, Yun-Hai Qiu
As a widely used clinical biomedicine for movement disorders and anti-wrinkle, in recent years, BoTN/A has emerged as a potential approach for treating refractory pain, especially migraine, diabetic pain, postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). In this study, we compared the analgesic effect of diverse administrations...

A Better Characterization of Brain Damage in Carbon Monoxide Intoxication Assessed in Vivo Using Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging
Wen-Yao Fan, Wen-Bin Zheng, Xi-Ran Chen
Diffusion kurtosis imaging findings in delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning have seldom reported. We present a study of a 25 -year-old female with acute carbon monoxide poisoning by using conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). Conventional...

Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging Detects Acute Microstructural Changes in White and Gray Matter after Alcohol Intoxication in Rat
Xi-Ran Chen, Jie-Ying Zeng, Ling-Mei Kong, Wen-Bin Zheng
Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) is an extension of Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) but based on a non-gaussian diffusion model, allowing more comprehensive characterization of microstructural changes in the brain. The aim of this research was to test the technical feasibility to microstructural changes...

Altered Anatomical Modular Organization of Brain Networks in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder
Jing-Yu Zhu, Xiang-Yu Shen, Jiao-Long Qin, Mao-Bin Wei, Rui Yan, Jian-Huai Chen, Zhi-Jian Yao, Qing Lu
This study investigates the abnormal brain structural connectivity in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) through a modularization approach. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data were collected from 20 MDD patients and 20 age-matched controls. The structural modularity characteristics and their...
