161 results about "Striatum" patented technology

The striatum, or corpus striatum (also called the neostriatum and the striate nucleus) is a nucleus (a cluster of neurons) in the subcortical basal ganglia of the forebrain. The striatum is a critical component of the motor and reward systems; receives glutamatergic and dopaminergic inputs from different sources; and serves as the primary input to the rest of the basal ganglia.

Characterisation of progressive system dysfunction

ActiveUS20050065734A1Image analysisElectrical testingFunctional disturbanceBilateral Disease
A technique for assessing the progression of multilateral dysfunction, e.g. bilateral diseases is described. The process consists of two stages: firstly, a ‘health measure’ is computed for each of the features of the multi-lateral dysfunction. One example is in terms of the progression of Parkinson's disease by applying it to the uptake of imaging agent in the two striata of the brain, which can be viewed using SPECT imaging. In this example, a characteristic graph for each striatum is matched to a family of such graphs in order to quantify the state of each striatum as a health measure. Then the lower health measure is plotted against the higher health measure. This point is then projected onto a previously computed disease progression trajectory which is used to assign a percentage to the progression of the disease, from 0% normal to 100% extreme progression of the disease. In addition to the disease progression percentage, the technique also provides a confidence measure of the accuracy of this estimation. The invention is applicable to other forms of multilateral dysfunction, including other human or animal conditions and dysfunction in non-biological systems such as mechanical, electrical or electronic systems.

The invention relates to a new application of FG-4592, a small molecule activator of HIF-1α, which belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, that is, the application of FG-4592 in the preparation of drugs for treating Parkinson's disease. Its advantages are as follows: the compound is in the third phase of clinical trials, and there is no need to explore its clinical pharmacology and human safety evaluation, which is conducive to the transformation of results. The present invention finds through research in Parkinson's disease cells and animal models that, compared with the model group, the FG-4592 pretreatment group can increase neuron cell viability, reduce cell apoptosis, and can partially reverse the mitochondrial membrane damage caused by neurotoxic drugs. The decrease of electric potential, the decrease of ATP content and the decrease of respiratory function can reduce the damage of MPTP to the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and striatum of mice, increase the secretion of dopamine and its metabolites in the damaged area, and finally achieve the relief of its movement.
