Abstract:

In recent years several major technical advances particularly in the treatment of brain and spinal tumors, vascular malformations and skull base surgery have been introduced into neurosurgery. These include refinements in microsurgical techniques, microscopic fluorescent techniques (e.g. 5-ALA, ICG-angiography, etc.) for maximal safe resection of intrinsic brain tumors and treatment of aneurysms and AVMs, introduction of neuroendoscopy and routine usage of intra-operative neuromonitoring in appropriate cases. We present these latest technical advances in the field of neurooncology, for the resection of skull base lesions and for the treatment of vascular malformations demonstrating their impact on preserving neurological integrity with resultant preservation of patient’s life quality after micro neurosurgical resection of tumors (e.g. Glioma, meningioma, neurinoma/schwannomas, etc.) treatment of vascular malformations (aneurysm, AVM, cavernoma) and treatment of skull base lesions. Appropriate selection and application of these new techniques under discussion in neurosurgery has resulted in a better outcome after microsurgical treatment of brain and spinal tumors, vascular malformations and skull base lesions. This includes more radical and safer tumor resection with avoidance of new neurological deficits and with preservation of patient’s neurological integrity, prolonged life expectancy in malignant brain tumors and preservation of patient’s life quality after surgery.

Abstract:

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease where symptoms appear after significant neuronal loss. Current treatments for AD do not significantly alter the disease process, where they temporarily improve symptoms. In vitro data has indicated that low doses of vanillin reduce beta-amyloid aggregation and may possess cytoprotective effects. This research aims to investigate the effect of vanillin on the AlCl3 mouse model of AD and thus its possible usefulness in managing AD.

Method: Male albino mice were divided into 8 groups of 10. Each group received different treatments of AlCl3, AlCl3+vanillin (30, 60 or 120 mg kgG1 day G1), vanillin alone and control. These experiments lasted for 30 days after which animals were subjected to behavioral and neurochemical assessment. Analysis was carried out using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Dunnett's post-test.

Result: Lower doses of vanillin led to improvements in behavioral and neurochemical deficits induced by AlCl3. Conversely, a high dose of vanillin caused an exaggeration in the behavioral and neurochemical deficits induced by AlCl3. Furthermore, highest dose vanillin treatment, on its own, inflicted behavioral and neurochemical deficits comparable to those caused by AlCl3.

Conclusion: It is concluded that vanillin negatively impacted cholinergic neuronal survival. Any marked benefits with lower doses of vanillin were attributed to its ability to indirectly increase synaptic acetylcholine abundance through blocking its degradation.
