Summary: The study demonstrated that NCSC-laden nerve scaffolds helped alleviate neuropathic pain and enhance motor function recovery in rats with sciatic nerve injuries. Furthermore, NCSCs were found to protect the spinal cord from glial cell activation and central sensitization induced by nerve injury.

Summary: This study explores the influence of Treg cells on the recovery of BSCB after spinal cord injury (SCI) and its underlying mechanism. The findings suggest that Treg cell-derived exosomes can affect BSCB integrity and motor function by regulating the expression of IRAK1. This provides novel insights for functional repair and inflammation limitation after SCI.

Summary: Peripheral compressive neuropathy causes significant neuropathic pain, muscle weakness, and prolonged neuroinflammation. The gold standard treatment of surgical decompression has suboptimal outcomes with a high recurrence rate. The study highlights the need for further research on distinct neuropathologic patterns and genetic signatures after nerve decompression for improved therapeutic interventions.

Summary: Studies have shown that Lipin1 is involved in the pathogenesis of DPN, playing a role in regulating autophagy and maintaining normal peripheral nerve conduction function. Upregulation of Lipin1 can ameliorate autophagic disorders and pathological changes in nerves, leading to an increase in nerve conduction velocity in DPN rats.

Summary: This study characterized the proteome of neural tissues in a type 2 diabetes mouse model and identified differential protein expression profiles related to reduced glycolytic and TCA cycle metabolism, increased lipid catabolism, dysregulation of muscle-like proteins, altered cytoskeleton-related proteins, activation of inflammatory responses, and changes in glutathione metabolism and oxidative stress. These findings suggest that energy deficiency may play a key role in the neurodegeneration observed in diabetic neuropathy.

Summary: Painful diabetic neuropathy is a common disease causing significant pain and disability. Spinal cord stimulation has shown moderate-quality evidence for safety and efficacy in treating this condition. Further high-quality research, including large-scale randomized controlled trials, is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

Summary: Transcutaneous spinal stimulation is a promising method for restoring upper limb function in patients with spinal cord injuries. By selectively stimulating different electrode placements, specific groups of upper limb muscles can be activated. This approach may enhance efficacy and help patients recover more diverse motor activities.

Summary: The combination of BWSTT and GlyNAC has neuroprotective effects, promotes motor function recovery, and delays skeletal muscle atrophy in rats with SCI. GlyNAC alone improves motor function, but the combination with BWSTT is more effective.

Summary: Spinal cord injury is a serious condition, and recent research has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in its pathophysiological processes. MiRNAs are involved in regulating the inflammatory response, neuronal cell death, and neural function repair related to spinal cord injury recovery. This review focuses on the relationship between miRNAs and spinal cord injury, highlights miRNA-324-5p, miRNA-221, and miRNA-124 as potential therapeutic targets, and summarizes the current progress of miRNA-based therapies, providing a foundational reference for researchers in both clinical and scientific fields.

Summary: The study investigates the effect of single sciatic nerve block on the inflammatory response of the spinal cord in rats with plantar incision and the combined effect with flurbiprofen. The results show that single sciatic nerve block does not alleviate postoperative pain or inhibit the activation of spinal glial cells, but it can reduce the expression of spinal inflammatory factors. Nerve block combined with flurbiprofen can inhibit spinal cord inflammation and improve postoperative pain.
