Gravity-Assisted Ipsilateral Paramedian Approach for Parafalcine Meningioma Resection.
[BACKGROUND] In our series, the gravity-assisted ipsilateral paramedian approach was shown to be safe and advantageous for the resection of parafalcine meningioma, because it does not result in contralateral brain impingement and does not r…

Stimulation of endothelial progenitor cells by microRNA-31a-5p to induce endothelialization in an aneurysm neck after coil embolization by modulating the Axin1-mediated β-catenin/vascular endothelial growth factor pathway.
[OBJECTIVE] Emerging evidence shows that frequent recurrence of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) after endovascular coiling is attributable to the lack of endothelialization across the aneurysm neck. Recently, much attention has been given to t…

Botulinum toxin type A for hand tremor: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
[BACKGROUND] Tremor is one of the most common movement disorders. It does not usually respond to first-line drug treatments (e.g. propranolol, primidone, anticholinergics, gabapentin and clonazepam) due to side effects and frequent dose lim…

Botulinum toxin type A alleviates neuropathic pain and suppresses inflammatory cytokines release from microglia by targeting TLR2/MyD88 and SNAP23.
[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) was considered to be a new potential drug for neuropathic pain (NP) treatment. [RESULTS] In vivo, BTX-A attenuated chronic compression injury (CCI)-induced pain in rats, and reduced production of…
