Department of Medicine Faculty Publications
Acute valve syndrome (AVS) represents a high-acuity, decompensated presentation of severe aortic stenosis (AS), often manifesting as acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or cardiac arrest. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains the only durable therapy for severe AS in patients with prohibitive surgical risk, yet AVS patients may be too unstable for standard preprocedural planning. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) has re-emerged as a bridge strategy that can provide rapid hemodynamic stabilization and permit subsequent valve replacement. Registry analyses report lower mortality in emergent TAVR compared with BAV, but these comparisons are confounded by procedural indication and unmatched AS severity. Smaller …

Department of Biomedical and Translational Sciences Faculty Publications
Fibroblast activation is essential for tissue repair following injury; however, prolonged activation drives pathological fibrosis. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive and age-associated lung disease, is characterized by aberrant fibroblast activation, with increasing evidence implicating senescent and near-senescent fibroblasts in its pathogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. In this study, we investigated whether histone modification is involved in TGF-β1 treated lung fibroblasts and contributes to the fibrotic phenotype. Human IMR90 lung fibroblasts at low and high population doubling levels (LPDL and HPDL), as well as primary IPF fibroblasts, were used in this study. In response to TGF-β1, both …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
背景
髓鞘少突膠質細胞糖蛋白抗體相關疾病(MOGAD)是一種罕見的自體免疫發炎性疾病,主要涉及中樞神經系統(CNS),其主要特徵是視神經、腦部和脊髓脫髓鞘。我們報告一例最初疑似復發性中風的病例,該病例在住院中風復健期間最終確診為MOGAD。
病例概要
49歲女性,左側大腦半球梗塞,在中風後復健期間出現多次右側肢體肌力下降伴隨失語症。這些神經功能波動偏離了典型卒中的預期復健軌跡。卒中發作兩個月後行腦部磁振造影(MRI)檢查,結果顯示右側內囊後肢、腦橋及C1脊髓出現多處新發病灶。後續血清學檢查顯示抗髓鞘少突膠質細胞糖蛋白(MOG)IgG抗體陽性,而水通道蛋白4(AQP4)抗體陰性,確診為MOGAD。患者接受了甲潑尼龍治療及充分的復健治療,追蹤期間肌力顯著改善,未見脫髓鞘病灶復發。
結論
本案例凸顯了復健科醫師在早期發現類似中風的神經發炎性疾病的關鍵作用。復健科醫師處於獨特的領先地位,能夠透過持續的功能監測識別「危險信號」;任何偏離預期復健路徑或無法解釋的神經功能波動都應促使醫生進行進一步檢查。早期識別此類非典型模式,並及時進行免疫治療和多學科康復,可以預防永久性功能衰退,並優化長期預後。
