Microglia is a type of glial cell located throughout the central nervous system (CNS), which is sensitive to CNS injury and disease. Responsibility of microglia as the resident macrophage cells for injuries suggests that these cells have the potential to act as diagnostic markers of disease beginning or progression. Function of Microglia is strongly synchronized by the microenvironment of brain...

Abstract Purpose of Review Early enteral nutrition improves outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI). This can prove difficult due to TBI-induced feeding intolerance secondary disruption the brain-gut axis, a network composed central nervous system (CNS) input, autonomic signaling, and immunologic regulation that controls gut CNS homeostasis. Here, we discuss pathophysiology brain–gut ax...

Transplants of neural tissue have been used for nearly 100 years in order to clarify the mechanisms that underlie development and regeneration of the nervous system. With reports from Sweden and Mexico that autografts of adrenal medulla produce at least transient and perhaps dramatic improve­ment in patients severly disabled by Parkinson's disease, the techniques of neural transplantation have ...

Ginseng, the root of Panax species, is a well-known folk medicine. It has been used as traditional herbal medicine in China, Korea and Japan for thousands of years and today is a popular and worldwide used natural medicine. The active ingredients of ginseng are ginsenosides which are also called ginseng saponins. Recently, there is increasing evidence in the literature on the pharmacological an...

The last 15 years have seen an explosion of new findings on the role complement, a major arm immune system, in central nervous system (CNS) compartment including contributions to cell migration, elimination synapse during development, aberrant pruning neurologic disorders, damage nerve cells autoimmune diseases, and traumatic injury. Activation complement multiple sclerosis (MS) is typically th...

We consider eigenvalue problems for dielectric cylindrical scatterers of arbitrary cross with generalized conditions at infinity that enable one to take into account complex eigenvalues. The existence resonance (scattering) frequencies associated these eigenvalues is proved. technique involves the determination characteristic numbers (CNs) Fredholm operator-valued functions constructed using Gr...
