The Value of Integrating Fluorescent Imaging and Immunohistochemistry for Future Anatomical Studies in Aesthetic Surgery: Lessons From the Cerebrospinal Fluid Circulatory System of Human Nerves and Brain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During their work on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulatory system of human nerves and brain, the authors applied imaging and tissue techniques that complemented basic anatomical dissection.

Objectives

The authors sought to show how integrating fluorescent imaging and basic immunohistochemistry (IHC) with facial anatomy can address current problems in aesthetic surgery.

Methods

The authors developed an algorithm and a set of principles from their work on the CSF circulatory system and applied these to 3 problems in aesthetic surgery: the functional anatomy of the vermilion-cutaneous junction; chemosis; and the functional anatomy of periosteal fixation.

Results

Integrating fluorescent imaging and IHC with anatomical dissection characterizes structural and functional anatomy. Fluorescent imaging helps to identify and locate easily missed structures. IHC defines cell type and function. The vermilion-cutaneous junction is defined by a major lymphatic vessel. Lymphatic flow from the medial limbus to the lateral canthus suggests the etiology of chemosis. Periosteal sites of fixation prevent shear where dural CSF vessels drain directly to subcutaneous lymphatics.

Conclusions

Integrating anatomical dissection with fluorescent imaging and basic IHC characterizes structural and functional anatomy and helps to better understand many problems encountered in aesthetic surgery.

Cerebrospinal fluid flow extends to peripheral nerves further unifying the nervous system.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is responsible for maintaining brain homeostasis through nutrient delivery and waste removal for the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we demonstrate extensive CSF flow throughout the peripheral nervous system (PNS) by tracing distribution of multimodal 1.9-nanometer gold nanoparticles, roughly the size of CSF circulating proteins, infused within the lateral cerebral ventricle (a primary site of CSF production). CSF-infused 1.9-nanometer gold transitions from CNS to PNS at root attachment/transition zones and distributes through the perineurium and endoneurium, with ultimate delivery to axoplasm of distal peripheral nerves. Larger 15-nanometer gold fails to transit from CNS to PNS and instead forms "dye-cuffs," as predicted by current dogma of CSF restriction within CNS, identifying size limitations in central to peripheral flow. Intravenous 1.9-nanometer gold is unable to cross the blood-brain/nerve barrier. Our findings suggest that CSF plays a consistent role in maintaining homeostasis throughout the nervous system with implications for CNS and PNS therapy and neural drug delivery.

Cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis: lessons from cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers.

Project description:Cognitive impairment is a common clinical manifestation of multiple sclerosis, but its pathophysiology is not completely understood. White and grey matter injury together with synaptic dysfunction do play a role. The measurement of biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid and the study of their association with cognitive impairment may provide interesting in vivo evidence of the biological mechanisms underlying multiple sclerosis-related cognitive impairment. So far, only a few studies on this topic have been published, giving interesting results that deserve further investigation. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of different pathophysiological mechanisms seem to reflect different neuropsychological patterns of cognitive deficits in multiple sclerosis. The aim of this review is to discuss the studies that have correlated cerebrospinal fluid markers of immune, glial and neuronal pathology with cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis. Although preliminary, these findings suggest that cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers show some correlation with cognitive performance in multiple sclerosis, thus providing interesting insights into the mechanisms underlying the involvement of specific cognitive domains.

Anatomical basis and physiological role of cerebrospinal fluid transport through the murine cribriform plate.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows through the brain, transporting chemical signals and removing waste. CSF production in the brain is balanced by a constant outflow of CSF, the anatomical basis of which is poorly understood. Here, we characterized the anatomy and physiological function of the CSF outflow pathway along the olfactory sensory nerves through the cribriform plate, and into the nasal epithelia. Chemical ablation of olfactory sensory nerves greatly reduced outflow of CSF through the cribriform plate. The reduction in CSF outflow did not cause an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP), consistent with an alteration in the pattern of CSF drainage or production. Our results suggest that damage to olfactory sensory neurons (such as from air pollution) could contribute to altered CSF turnover and flow, providing a potential mechanism for neurological diseases.

Integrating host transcriptomic signatures for distinguishing autoimmune encephalitis in cerebrospinal fluid by metagenomic sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundThe early accurate diagnoses for autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and infectious encephalitis (IE) are essential since the treatments for them are different. This study aims to discover some specific and sensitive biomarkers to distinguish AE from IE at early stage to give specific treatments for good outcomes.ResultsWe compared the host gene expression profiles and microbial diversities of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 41 patients with IE and 18 patients with AE through meta-transcriptomic sequencing. Significant differences were found in host gene expression profiles and microbial diversities in CSF between patients with AE and patients with IE. The most significantly upregulated genes in patients with IE were enriched in pathways related with immune response such as neutrophil degranulation, antigen processing and presentation and adaptive immune system. In contrast, those upregulated genes in patients with AE were mainly involved in sensory organ development such as olfactory transduction, as well as synaptic transmission and signaling. Based on the differentially expressed genes, a classifier consisting of 5 host genes showed outstanding performance with an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.95.ConclusionsThis study provides a promising classifier and is the first to investigate transcriptomic signatures for differentiating AE from IE by using meta-transcriptomic next-generation sequencing technology.

Pseudo-Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea Resulting from Aberrant Cross-Innervation of Trigeminal and Facial Nerves following Skull Base Surgery.

Project description:Objectives Pseudo-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is a rare phenomenon, presumed to result from aberrant autonomic reinnervation of the paranasal mucosa following injury to the greater superficial petrosal nerve or periarterial plexus. In this report, we discuss the case of a postoperative patient with pseudo-CSF rhinorrhea exacerbated by chewing and propose a novel mechanism of pseudo-CSF rhinorrhea. Case Report A 46-year-old man was found to have mastication-induced unilateral clear rhinorrhea following transtemporal resection of a cerebellopontine angle tumor. Computed tomography cisternogram and β-2 transferrin analysis proved negative for any evidence of CSF leak. Conclusions Pseudo-CSF rhinorrhea exacerbated by mastication has not been previously reported in the literature. We propose aberrant cross-innervation of the trigeminal and facial nerves as the mechanism underlying the patient's condition. Pseudo-CSF rhinorrhea is an important entity to identify following skull base surgery because it may spare patients from the unnecessary invasive procedures and morbidity associated with the management of a presumed CSF leak.

A whole-mount immunohistochemistry protocol for detection of mouse corneal nerves.

Project description:A cornea is innervated by sensory nerves, which branch into thick trunks, subbasal plexuses, and sensory endings. Appropriate assessment of nerve structure in a tissue provides a more complete understanding of the role of nerves in health and disease. Here, we present a whole-mount immunohistochemistry protocol that facilitates evaluation of nerve architecture throughout the mouse cornea. The fixation step in this protocol allows for reliable detection of nerve structures within the cornea and likely other tissues. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Yun et al, (2020).

Improved Differential Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease by Integrating ELISA and Mass Spectrometry-Based Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers.

Project description:BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is diagnosed based on a clinical evaluation as well as analyses of classical biomarkers: Aβ42, total tau (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although the sensitivities and specificities of the classical biomarkers are fairly good for detection of AD, there is still a need to develop novel biochemical markers for early detection of AD.ObjectiveWe explored if integration of novel proteins with classical biomarkers in CSF can better discriminate AD from non-AD subjects.MethodsWe applied ELISA, mass spectrometry, and multivariate modeling to investigate classical biomarkers and the CSF proteome in subjects (n = 206) with 76 AD patients, 74 mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, 11 frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients, and 45 non-dementia controls. The MCI patients were followed for 4-9 years and 21 of these converted to AD, whereas 53 remained stable.ResultsBy combining classical CSF biomarkers with twelve novel markers, the area of the ROC curves (AUROCS) of distinguishing AD and MCI/AD converters from non-AD were 93% and 96%, respectively. The FTDs and non-dementia controls were identified versus all other groups with AUROCS of 96% and 87%, respectively.ConclusionsIntegration of new and classical CSF biomarkers in a model-based approach can improve the identification of AD, FTD, and non-dementia control subjects.

Integrating the aesthetic value of landscapes and biological diversity.

Project description:As a cultural ecosystem service, the aesthetic value of landscapes contributes to human well-being, but studies linking biodiversity and ecosystem services generally do not account for this particular service. Therefore, congruence between the aesthetic perception of landscapes, ecological value and biodiversity remains poorly understood. Here, we describe the conceptual background, current methodologies and future challenges of assessing landscape aesthetics and its relationship with biodiversity. We highlight the methodological gaps between the assessment of landscape aesthetics, ecological diversity and functioning. We discuss the challenges associated with connecting landscape aesthetics with ecological value, and the scaling issues in the assessment of human aesthetics perception. To better integrate aesthetic value and ecological components of biodiversity, we propose to combine the study of aesthetics and the understanding of ecological function at both the species and landscape levels. Given the urgent need to engage society in conservation efforts, this approach, based on the combination of the aesthetic experience and the recognition of ecological functioning by the general public, will help change our culture of nature and promote ecologically oriented conservation policies.
