Patients access online cosmetic health information to help with decision making. This information is unregulated, variable in quality, and may be biased. This study compared the most popular cosmetic injectables websites to assess their readability, quality, and technical performance.
A Google search for "Botox" (botulinum toxin type A) and "fillers" was performed in July of 2020, identifying the most popular health information websites. Sites were analyzed for their readability and quality of health information using the validated DISCERN criteria and the Health on the Net Foundation Code of Conduct principles. Technical qualities were evaluated using two website performance algorithms, WooRank and WebsiteGrader.
Eighty-five websites were analyzed (13 academic/hospital websites, seven commercial websites, 25 private practice board-certified websites, seven private practice not-board-certified websites, 16 online health reference websites, and 17 other websites). The mean readability consensus score wasan Medical Association. Online health reference sites are higher in quality than physician sites. This has implications for the ability of many patients to be fully informed consumers. The readability, quality, and technical aspects of websites may affect the overall accessibility of patient health information.
Botulinum toxin type A has been used to treat a wide array of neurologic, medical, and aesthetic indications. Several factors contribute to the formation of neutralizing antibodies, such as shorter intervals of treatment, higher dosage, amounts of antigenic proteins, serotypes, and storage of formulations.
This overview followed the Cochrane guideline for overview reviews. The AMSTAR-2 (revised version of A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews) tool was used for the critical appraisal of the selected systematic reviews.
Five systematic reviews consisting of 203 studies (17,815 patients) were included, and their AMSTAR-2 scores were low to critically poor. There was high heterogeneity between the studies. Across the clinical indications, neutralizing antibody prevalence was significantly higher in dystonia, spasticity, and urologic conditions, and nil to insignificant in hyperhidrosis and aesthetic indications. The overall rate for the neutralizing antibody formation across three different formualizing antibody titer to clinical responsiveness and nonresponse.
The position of the eyebrow is known to reflect emotional status and to provide a plethora of nonverbal information. Although the eyebrow has no direct attachment to underlying bone, it is subject to the interplay between the various periorbital muscles, which when acting together, permit important nonverbal cues to be conveyed. Understanding the balance and interplay between these muscles is of crucial importance when targeting the periorbital area with neuromodulators. The authors' aims were to summarize current anatomic and clinical knowledge so as to provide a foundation that physicians can rely on to improve and increase the predictability of patient outcomes when treating the periorbital region with neuromodulators for aesthetic purposes.
This narrative review is based on the anatomic and clinical experience of the authors dissecting and treating the periorbital region with specific focus on the glabella and the forehead.
This narrative review covers (1) a brief description of the relevant periorbital muscle anatomy, (2) an analysis of each muscle's contribution to various facial expressions, and (3) an anatomic and physiologic simulation of the muscular effects of specific neuromodulator injection sites.
By understanding functional anatomy of the periorbital muscles and combining this knowledge with individualized assessment and treatment planning, it is possible to achieve aesthetically pleasing, predictable, and reproducible treatment outcomes that positively impact perception of nonverbal cues when administering neuromodulators.

The existing anxiety animal models are susceptible to interference, and no single animal anxiety model can predict the future anxiolytic potential and profile of new putative anxiolytics. Therefore, to find a better anxiety animal model, we used FG7142, a nonselective benzodiazepine inverse agonist. This anxiety animal model was established by intraperitoneal injection of FG7142 combined with restraint stress.
Adult male C57BL/6J mice (18-20 g) were randomly classified into five groups (n = 10 per group), namely the control, restraint stress, restraint stress + 10 mg/kg FG7142, restraint stress + 20 mg/kg FG7142, restraint stress +30 mg/kg FG7142. The impact on behavior was explored by elevated plus maze, and marble burying test, followed by immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR enabled the elucidation of the possible mechanism.
Compared with the control group and restraint stress group, intraperitoneal injection of FG7142 combined with restraint stress model group was found to induce anxiogenic-like behavior in elevated plus maze and marble burying test. Moreover, relative to the control group, significantly increased expression of c-fos in the hippocampus and amygdala in the model group was evident, whereas the expression of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha1 and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A mRNA was significantly decreased in the hippocampus.
These results indicated that FG7142 combined with restraint stress is sufficient to induce anxiety, and its mechanism is associated with downregulation of hippocampal gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha1 and 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A receptors.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a promising neurorehabilitation strategy for ameliorating post-stroke function disorders. Physiological changes in the brain, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) dedicated to exploring cerebral circulatory responses during neurological rehabilitation tasks, are essential for gaining insights into neurorehabilitation mechanisms. However, the relationship between the neurovascular responses in different brain regions under rehabilitation tasks remains unknown.
The present study explores the fNIRS interactions between brain regions under different motor imagery (MI) tasks, emphasizing functional characteristics of brain network patterns and BCI motor task classification.
Granger causality analysis (GCA) is carried out for oxyhemoglobin data from 29 study participants in left- and right-hand MI tasks.
According to research findings, homozygous and heterozygous states in the two brain connectivity modes reveal one and nine channel pairs, respectively, witorehabilitation assessment protocols to ultimately improve patients' quality of life.Video Abstract http//links.lww.com/WNR/A653.
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of mental abacus calculation training (MACT) on subliminal cognitive processes.
Twenty children with intensive MACT (MACT group) and 20 children without MACT (non-MACT group) were selected. The two groups of children were matched in age, sex, handedness and academic grade. The participants were tested with subthreshold arithmetic priming task while their neural activities were recorded with a 32-channel electroencephalogram system.
We found that MACT changed the subliminal cognitive mechanism of computational processing, speeding up the computation. MACT affected the computational processing mode. Specifically, in the identification stage, both groups of children adopted the visual space processing mode, while in the computing stage, the MACT group adopted a visual space processing mode, but the non-MACT group adopted a semantic processing mode. Moreover, MACT improved children's executive functions.
These results yielded insights into the effect of early abacus training on children's cognitive processing, providing a theoretical basis for the development and promotion of abacus training.

Epidemiological research has indicated that hyperuricemia may impair cognitive ability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study thus investigated the possible mechanism underlying hyperuricemia-related cognitive impairment.
Using hyperuricemic rats and high uric acid (UA) intracerebroventricularly treated mice, the current study elucidated whether and how high UA impaired cognitive ability and hippocampal mitochondrial bioenergetic function.
Hyperuricemia induced UA uptake by hippocampal mitochondria, which impaired cognitive ability and disrupted the bioenergetic function of hippocampal mitochondria, indicated by reduced ATP production and decreased cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity. Mechanistically, excess UA might trigger intramitochondrial NF-κB inhibitor α (IκBα)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway to downregulate the subunit III of COX (COXIII).
The results provided new insights into the mechanism underlying hyperuricemia-related cognitive decline.

A new nitronyl nitroxide radical with a salicylic acid framework (SANR) has been demonstrated to exert antioxidant effects in the previous study by our team. 2,4-Thiazolidinedione The current study has assessed the protective effect of SANR on cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) in rat models.
Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups sham, I/R, 10, and 20 mg/kg SANR + I/R groups. A total of 120 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) caused cerebral ischemia. Survival rates were calculated, and neurological deficits were evaluated by a blinded experimenter. Cerebral infarct area, apoptosis cells, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage were measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling, and Evans blue assay, respectively. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) also were detected to assess oxidation damage caused by cerebral I/R.
Treatment with SANR significantly promoted survival of rats with cerebral I/R injury. SANR meliorated neurologic deficit and infarct area, improved BBB permeability, and reduced neuronal apoptosis. SANR also reduced ROS levels and the content of MDA and increased SOD and GSH-Px activity in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, SANR could inhibit the expression of 8-OHdG.
Our results suggested that SANR has a neuroprotective effect against cerebral I/R injury, and its effect mechanism is related to the antioxidant function.
