Moreover, mRNA expression of BDNF and glucocorticoid receptors in the hippocampus and amygdala, respectively, was not different. Finally, acute intracerebroventricular administration of flagellin, a specific TLR5 agonist, or chronic neomycin treatment did not exhibit a significant main effect, only a significant main effect of genotype was observed between TLR5 KO and WT mice. Together, those findings suggest a previously undescribed and specific role of TLR5 in anxiety and open original prospects in our understanding of the brain-gut axis function. Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) is a debilitating side effect arising from chemotherapy treatments. The condition is characterised by a range of cognitive deficits including impairment to memory, attention, and concentration. Whilst the underlying mechanisms that contribute to CICI remain unclear, neuroinflammation has been suggested as one key contributor. A comprehensive systematic search of EMBASE and Medline via PubMed was conducted to identify studies on neuroimmune reactivity marker expression changes and resulting cognitive changes in preclinical rodent models of CICI. A total of twenty studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the scoping review. There was significant heterogeneity in the methodology employed in the included studies. Our findings demonstrate that widespread changes in cytokines, chemokines, microglia reactivity, and astrocyte reactivity are observed in CICI in the brain regions expected to be affected, given the nature of the cognitive impairment observed in CICI. Although there was considerable heterogeneity in study design that made comparisons between studies difficult, our findings suggest that neuroinflammation commonly occurs in CICI preclinical rodent models and shows an association with cognitive impairment.

To correlate structural changes of combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE) with patient age. Retrospective study. Fifty eyes of 49 patients (age range, 1-74 years) with CHRRPE studied at 9 tertiary vitreoretinal institutions. We analyzed the clinical findings with respect to lesion topography and pigmentation as well as investigated the OCT findings regarding the thickness, vitreoretinal interface, outer plexiform layer distortion, ellipsoid zone disruption, and retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch's membrane complex involvement of CHRRPE. Clinical and imaging findings of CHRRPE at different ages. Analysis of 50 CHRRPE patients revealed that younger patients were more likely to demonstrate partial thickness involvement of the retina (P= 0.009) with predominantly inner retinal layer involvement (P=0.04). The inverse was true for older patients with CHRRPE. In addition, older patients more commonly showed pigmentary changes. Eyes with CHRRPE were more likely to show an increase in central macular thickness independently of tumor location. Based on these findings, we believe that CHRRPE typically begins in the inner retina and continues toward the outer retina over time, with increase in central macular thickness, despite the location of the tumor. Based on these findings, we believe that CHRRPE typically begins in the inner retina and continues toward the outer retina over time, with increase in central macular thickness, despite the location of the tumor. To evaluate the predictive usefulness of quantitative imaging biomarkers, acquired automatically from OCT scans, of cross-sectional and future visual outcomes of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) starting anti-vascul
