Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by abnormal pronunciation, posture, and movement. Spastic CP accounts for more than 70% of all CP. To date, there has been no bibliometric analysis to summarize study on spastic CP. Here, we aim to conduct a bibliometric analysis of spastic CP to summarize this field's knowledge structure, research hotspots, and frontiers. METHOD Publications about spastic CP were searched utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 1 January 2000 to 30 November 2022, the WoSCC literature analysis wire, VOSviewer 1.6.18, CiteSpace 6.1.R4 and Online analysis platform for bibliometrics were used to conduct the analysis. RESULTS A total of 3988 publications, consisting of 3699 articles and 289 reviews, were included in our study. The United States emerged as the most productive country, while Kathleen Univ Leuven was the most productive institution. The leading author was Desloovere K. A total of 238 journals contributed to this field, with Developmental medicine and child neurology being the leading journal. Important keywords and keyword clusters included Spastic cerebral palsy, Reliability, and Gross motor function. Keywords identified through burst detection indicated that hotspots in this field were management, randomized controlled trials, and definition. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis of bibliometric on spastic CP over the past 20 years, the trends and the knowledge graph of the countries, institutions, authors, references, and the keywords have been identified, providing accurate and expedited insights into critical information and potentially new directions in the study of spastic CP.

Wang B, Chen SM, Yang SQ, Jiang JM, Zhang P, Zou W, Tang XQ. GDF11 mediates H 2S to prevent chronic stress-induced cognitive impairment by reducing hippocampal NLRP3/caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis. J Affect Disord 2024; 344:600-611. [PMID: 37827256 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.10.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously revealed that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) attenuates chronic stress-induced cognitive impairment, but the underlying mechanism needs to be further clarified. Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) plays an important regulatory role in cognitive function and that hippocampal NLRP3/caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis contributes to the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment. Hence, this research aimed to explore whether promoting GDF11 levels and suppressing hippocampal NLRP3/caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis mediate H2S to alleviate chronic stress-induced cognitive impairment. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to unpredictable chronic mild stress lasting four weeks to establish an animal model of chronic stress-induced cognitive impairment. Behavioral performance was assessed by the Y-maze test and the novel object recognition test. The expression levels of proteins were analyzed by Western blot analysis. The levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the hippocampus were measured by ELISA. RESULTS NaHS upregulated the expression of GDF11 in the hippocampus of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-exposed rats. Silencing GDF11 blocked NaHS-improved cognitive impairment in CUMS-exposed rats, according to the Y-maze test and the novel object recognition test. Furthermore, NaHS mitigated NLRP3/caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis in the hippocampus of CUMS-exposed rats and this effect was reversed by silencing GDF11. Moreover, overexpression of GDF11 alleviated CUMS-induced cognitive impairment and NLRP3/caspase-1-mediated hippocampal pyroptosis. CONCLUSIONS GDF11 mediates H2S to attenuate chronic stress-induced cognitive impairment via inhibiting hippocampal NLRP3/caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis.

Effects of traditional Chinese medicine combined with modern rehabilitation therapies on motor function in children with cerebral palsy: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1097477. [PMID: 36845424 PMCID: PMC9944433 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1097477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has considerable experience in the treatment of cerebral palsy (CP), but little evidence shows the effect of a combination of TCM and modern rehabilitation therapies on CP. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of integrated TCM and modern rehabilitation therapies on motor development in children with CP. Methods We systematically searched five databases up to June 2022, including PubMed, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science. Gross motor function measure (GMFM) and Peabody Development Motor Scales-II were the primary outcomes to evaluate motor development. Secondary outcomes included the joint range of motion, the Modified Ashworth scale (MAS), the Berg balance scale, and Activities of Daily living (ADL). Weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to determine intergroup differences. Results A total of 2,211 participants from 22 trials were enrolled in this study. Among these, one study was at a low risk of bias and seven studies showed a high risk of bias. Significant improvements were found in GMFM-66 (WMD 9.33; 95% CI 0.14-18.52, P < 0.05, I 2 = 92.1%), GMFM-88 (WMD 8.24; 95% CI 3.25-13.24, P < 0.01, I 2 = 0.0%), Berg balance scale (WMD 4.42; 95% CI 1.21-7.63, P < 0.01, I 2 = 96.7%), and ADL (WMD 3.78; 95% CI 2.12-5.43, P < 0.01, I 2 = 58.8%). No adverse events were reported during the TCM intervention in the included studies. The quality of evidence was high to low. Conclusion Integrated TCM and modern rehabilitation therapies may be an effective and safe intervention protocol to improve gross motor function, muscle tone, and the functional independence of children with CP. However, our results should be interpreted carefully because of the heterogeneity between the included studies.

Cell Transplant 2023; 32:9636897231210069. [PMID: 37982384 PMCID: PMC10664427 DOI: 10.1177/09636897231210069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSC) have shown promising potential in ameliorating brain injury, but the mechanism is unclear. We explore the role of NogoA/NgR/Rho pathway in mediating hUCMSC to improve neurobehavioral status and alleviate brain injury in hypoxia/ischemia-induced CP (cerebral palsy) rat model in order to promote the clinical application of stem cell therapy in CP. The injury model of HT22 cells was established after 3 h hypoxia, and then co-cultured with hUCMSC. The rat model of CP was established by ligation of the left common carotid artery for 2.5 h. Subsequently, hUCMSC was administered via the tail vein once a week for a total of four times. The neurobehavioral status of CP rats was determined by behavioral experiment, and the pathological brain injury was determined by pathological staining method. The mRNA and protein expressions of NogoA, NgR, RhoA, Rac1, and CDC42 in brain tissues of rats in all groups and cell groups were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blot, and immunofluorescence. The CP rats exhibited obvious motor function abnormalities and pathological damage. Compared with the control group, hUCMSC transplantation could significantly improve the neurobehavioral situation and attenuate brain pathological injury in CP rats. The relative expression of NogoA, NgR, RhoA mRNA, and protein in brain tissues of rats in the CP group was significantly higher than the rats in the sham and CP+hUCMSC group. The relative expression of Rac1, CDC42 mRNA, and protein in brain tissues of rats in the CP group was significantly lower than the rats in the sham and CP+hUCMSC group. The animal experiment results were consistent with the experimental trend of hypoxic injury of HT22 cells. This study confirmed that hUCMSC can efficiently improve neurobehavioral status and alleviate brain injury in hypoxia/ischemia-induced CP rat model and HT22 cell model through downregulating the NogoA/NgR/Rho pathway.
