Abstract
BACKGROUND This work aimed to analyze serum S100B levels and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in patients with lumbar disc prolapse to test their predictive values concerning the therapeutic efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency. METHODS This prospective interventional study was carried out on 50 patients candidates for radiofrequency for treating symptomatic lumbar disc prolapse. Pain severity and functional disability were assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Functional rating index (FRI) before as well as two weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months after the radiofrequency. Quantitative assessment of serum S100B level and BDNF was done for all the included patients one day before radiofrequency. RESULTS The scores of NRS and FRI were significantly improved at two weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months following radiofrequency (P-value < 0.001 in all comparisons). Statistically significant positive correlations were found between duration of pain, NRS, and S100B serum level before radiofrequency, and both NRS (P-value = 0.001, 0.035, < 0.001 respectively) and FRI (P-value = < 0.001, 0.009, 0.001 respectively) 6 months following radiofrequency. Whereas there were statistically significant negative correlations between BDNF serum level before radiofrequency and both NRS and FRI 6 months following radiofrequency (P-value = 0.022, 0.041 respectively). NRS and S100B serum levels before radiofrequency were found to be independent predictors of NRS 6 months following radiofrequency (P-value = 0.040. <0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION Serum level of S100B is a promising biomarker that can predict functional outcomes after pulsed radiofrequency in patients with lumbar disc prolapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most prevalent rheumatic disease in children, and the inflammatory process is widely studied, primarily characterized by its impact on joint health. Emerging evidence suggests that JIA may also affect the central nervous system (CNS). This study investigates the potential CNS involvement in JIA by analyzing the presence of astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and the S100B protein in plasma, both of which are indicative of astrocyte activity and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. METHODS EDTA plasma from 90 children diagnosed with JIA and 10 healthy controls, matched by age and gender, was analyzed for extracellular vesicles by flow cytometric measurement. Astrocyte-derived EVs were identified using flow cytometry with markers for aquaporin 4 (AQP-4) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Levels of the S100B protein were measured using a commercial ELISA. Disease activity was assessed using the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS27, 0-57), and pain levels were measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-10 cm). RESULTS Our analyses revealed a significantly higher concentration of astrocyte-derived EVs in the plasma of children with JIA compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, children with JADAS27 scores of 1 or higher exhibited notably higher levels of these EVs. The S100B protein was detectable exclusively in the JIA group. CONCLUSION The elevated levels of astrocyte-derived EVs and the presence of S100B in children with JIA provide evidence of BBB disruption and CNS involvement, particularly in those with higher disease activity. These findings underscore the importance of considering CNS health in the comprehensive management of JIA. Further research is required to elucidate the mechanisms behind CNS engagement in JIA and to develop treatments that address both joint and CNS manifestations of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To dynamically observe the changes in hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B19kDa-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and evaluate their clinical value in predicting the severity and prognosis of pediatric TBI. METHODS A prospective study included 47 children with moderate to severe TBI from January 2021 to July 2023, categorized into moderate (scores 9-12) and severe (scores 3-8) subgroups based on the Glasgow Coma Scale. A control group consisted of 30 children diagnosed and treated for inguinal hernia during the same period, with no underlying diseases. The levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, autophagy-related protein Beclin-1, and S100B were compared among groups. The predictive value of HIF-1α, BNIP3, Beclin-1, and S100B for the severity and prognosis of TBI was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS Serum levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, Beclin-1, and S100B in the TBI group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Among the TBI patients, the severe subgroup had higher levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, Beclin-1, and S100B than the moderate subgroup (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the serum levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, Beclin-1, and S100B were negatively correlated with the Glasgow Coma Scale scores (P<0.05). After 7 days of treatment, serum levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, Beclin-1, and S100B in both non-surgical and surgical TBI patients decreased compared to before treatment (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis indicated that the areas under the curve for predicting severe TBI based on serum levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, Beclin-1, and S100B were 0.782, 0.835, 0.872, and 0.880, respectively (P<0.05), and for predicting poor prognosis of TBI were 0.749, 0.775, 0.814, and 0.751, respectively (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum levels of HIF-1α, BNIP3, and Beclin-1 are significantly elevated in children with TBI, and their measurement can aid in the clinical assessment of the severity and prognosis of pediatric TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitiligo is a depigmented skin disease. S100B is a damage-associated molecular pattern protein proposed as a marker of melanocyte cytotoxicity. AIM To detect the sensitivity of serum levels of S100B as a disease activity marker in vitiligo patients. METHODS Four patient groups of both sexes: twenty segmental vitiligo, twenty non-segmental active vitiligo patients, twenty non-segmental stable vitiligo patients and thirty healthy controls age and sex-matched, patients were subjected to vitiligo disease activity score (VIDA score) and Vitiligo Extent Tensity Index (VETI) score. RESULTS An increased level of S100B was observed in patients with vitiligo compared to control, there was statistically significant increase in its level in non- segmental-active than non-segmental stable and segmental-stable. Roc analysis for S100B to predict cases vs control was confirmed by getting cut off point 80.2 pg/ml, with high sensitivity 96.67 and high specificity 96.67. Roc analysis for S100B to predict non-segmental-active versus segmental and non-segmental was also confirmed by getting cut off point 118.3 pg/ml, with sensitivity 80.0 and specificity 77.50. CONCLUSION S100B can be used as indicators for disease activity with high sensitivity and specificity in Egyptian vitiligo patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid disease progression in neuroemergencies is associated with blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. We investigated a less invasive strategy for assessing BBB status by evaluating S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) at early stages of the hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) cascade. METHODS This retrospective study used prospectively collected data from patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (August 2019-July 2021). Albumin specimens obtained from serum and cerebrospinal fluid via arterial catheter and lumbar puncture were used to measure the albumin quotient (Qa), which is widely accepted as the gold standard method for detecting BBB disruption. Serum S100B and NSE levels were measured simultaneously following the return of spontaneous circulation. We conducted linear regression to evaluate the relationship between S100B and Qa and the predictive performance of S100B for abnormal Qa. The primary study outcome was abnormal Qa (>0.007). RESULTS Forty-one patients were enrolled; 30 showed an abnormal Qa suggestive of BBB disruption. S100B levels were significantly higher than in those with a normal Qa (0.244 μg/L [interquartile range [IQR], 0.146-0.823 vs 0.754 μg/L [IQR, 0.317-2.228], P = .03). We report a positive correlation between serum S100B and Qa (R2 = 0.110; P = .04). The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) evaluating the predictive performance of S100B with respect to abnormal Qa was 0.718 (95% confidence interval, 0.556-0.847). The cutoff value for S100B (with respect to BBB disruption) in the total cohort was 0.283 μg/L (sensitivity, 80.0%; specificity, 72.7%). Subgroup analyses in patients with serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels of <40.8 ng/mL (excluding those with established neuronal cell injury) showed an improved correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.382; P < .01) and predictive performance (AUROC, 0.836 [95% confidence interval, 0.629-0.954]) compared with the total cohort. CONCLUSIONS Serum S100B obtained at an early stage of the HIBI cascade is associated with abnormal Qa, suggesting BBB disruption. The predictive performance of S100B and the correlation between serum S100B and Qa can be improved using a complementary strategy (i.e., evaluations of S100B and NSE levels) that combines considerations of cell damage in astrocytes and neurons.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Ischemic stroke is the main cause of permanent disability in adult patients. No commonly accepted method were discovered to predict stroke before the first symptoms. Activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) and S100B protein may be observe in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke may be associated with changes in MMP, TIMP and S100B. AIM The aim of this study was to determine if MMP-9, TIMP-1 and S-100B protein may markers of forthcoming ischemic stroke in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were taken and an analysis of circulating proteins (MMP-9, TIMP-1, S100B) 73 subsequent patients with carotid artery stenosis ≥70% (33 asymptomatic and 40 symptomatic), who were referred for potential revascularization. RESULTS A statistically significant difference was found between MMP- 9 levels in patients with ischemic stroke compared to patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis after endarterectomy. Also, average TIMP-1 levels in patients with ischemic stroke and stenosis ≥70% were statistically significantly higher than the average levels in patients after endarterectomy. In terms of S-100B, a higher mean value was observed in patients with stroke than in endarterectomy group. No statistical differences were found in the levels of that proteins in the hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke. CONCLUSIONS Increased levels of MMP-9, TIMP-1 and S-100B in patients with ischemic stroke compared to patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis after endarterectomy showed that abovementioned proteins may be a good predictive factor of ischemic stroke in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical value of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) combined with serum S100B protein in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Sixty patients with SLE treated in our hospital from January 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled as the study group. According to the degree of activity, the study group was assigned into three groups: mild activity group (n = 20), moderate activity group (n = 20), and severe activity group (n = 20). A total of 60 healthy people who underwent physical examination in our hospital in the same period were enrolled as the control group. The NSE and serum S100B protein were detected in the two groups, and the correlation between serum nerve-specific enolase and serum S100B protein and the clinical value in the diagnosis of SLE were analyzed. Results First of all, we compared the general data of the two groups. There was no significant difference in sex, age, marital status, and education level, and no significant difference was exhibited (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in sex, age, marital status, and education level among mild activity group, moderate activity group, and severe activity group, and no significant difference in data was exhibited (p > 0.05). Secondly, we compared the levels of serum S100B protein and NSE. The levels of serum S100B protein and NSE in the study group were higher compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The levels of serum S100B protein and NSE in patients with different activity levels of SLE were compared. The levels of serum S100B protein and NSE in mild activity group < moderate activity group < severe activity group were significantly different (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis between serum S100B, NSE levels, and SLE activity indicated that serum S100B and NSE levels were positively correlated with SLE activity. With the increase of SLE activity, serum S100B and NSE levels gradually increased, and the data difference was statistically significant (r = 0.855, 0.844, p < 0.05). Finally, we established the logistic prediction model, take the probability of generating prediction as the analysis index, and draw the ROC curve to evaluate the diagnostic value of different combinations to SLE. The highest AUC and sensitivity of the two indexes in the diagnosis of SLE were 0.773 and 0.836, respectively. The levels of serum S100B protein and NSE have a certain value in the diagnosis of SLE, while the combined diagnosis is of higher value, sensitivity, and specificity in the diagnosis of SLE. Conclusion Serum S100B protein and NSE are very sensitive indexes to judge the damage of central nervous system. However, due to the small number of cases in this study, there were as many as 19 kinds of NPSLE classification, so the relationship between serum S100B protein, NSE levels, and various NPSLE and their exact application value in diagnosing the disease and judging the prognosis needs to be confirmed by expanding the number of cases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We evaluated the effects of vitamin C and thiamine administration on biomarkers in patients with septic shock. METHODS This was a post-hoc analysis of the Ascorbic Acid and Thiamine Effect in Septic Shock (ATESS) trial, a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomized to either a treatment group (intravenous vitamin C and thiamine for 48 h) or a control group. Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, angiopoietin-II (AP2), and S100β were assessed at baseline and at 72 h. The primary outcomes were the biomarker levels at 72 h, and the secondary outcome was reduction rate. RESULTS Forty-five patients were assigned to the treatment group and 52 were assigned to the control group. Baseline biomarker levels and at 72 h were not significantly different between the treatment and the placebo groups. The reduction rates were not significantly different between the two groups. These outcome variables showed fair diagnostic accuracy for predicting 28-day mortality according to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. CONCLUSION Vitamin C and thiamine administration during the early phase of septic shock did not significantly change prognostic biomarker levels of IL-6, IL-10, AP2, and S100β.

Abstract
The high frequency of traumatic brain injury imposes severe economic stress on health and insurance services. The objective of this study was to analyze the association between the serum S100B protein, the Gosling pulsatility index (PI), and the level of oxygen saturation at the tip of the internal jugular vein (SjVO2%) in patients diagnosed with severe TBI. The severity of TBI was assessed by a GCS score ≤ 8 stratified by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) measured on the day of discharge from the hospital. Two groups were included: GOS < 4 (unfavorable group (UG)) and GOS ≥ 4 (favorable group (UG)). S100B levels were higher in the UG than in the FG. PI levels in the UG were also substantially higher than in the FG. There were similar levels of SjVO2 in the two groups. This study confirmed that serum S100B levels were higher in patients with unfavorable outcomes than in those with favorable outcomes. Moreover, a clear demarcation in PI between unfavorable and FGs was observed. This report shows that mortality and morbidity rates in patients with traumatic brain injury can be assessed within the first 4 days of hospitalization using the S100B protein, PI values, and SjVO2.

Abstract
Individualized patient care is essential to reduce the global burden of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This pilot study focused on TBI patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) and aimed at identifying patterns of circulating biomarkers associated with the disability level at 6 months from injury, measured by the extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E). The concentration of 107 biomarkers, including proteins related to inflammation, innate immunity, TBI, and central nervous system, were quantified in blood samples collected on ICU admission from 80 patients. Patients were randomly selected among those prospectively enrolled in the Collaborative Research on Acute Traumatic Brain Injury in Intensive Care Medicine in Europe (CREACTIVE) observational study. Six biomarkers were selected to be associated with indicators of primary or secondary brain injury: three glial proteins (glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and S100 calcium-binding protein B) and three cytokines (stem cell factor, fibroblast growth factor [FGF] 23 and FGF19). The subjects were grouped into three clusters according to the expression of these proteins. The distribution of the 6-month GOS-E was significantly different across clusters (p < 0.001). In two clusters, the number of 6-month deaths or vegetative states was significantly lower than expected, as calculated according to a customization of the corticosteroid randomization after significant head injury (CRASH) scores (observed/expected [O/E] events = 0.00, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.00-0.90 and 0.00, 95% CI: 0.00-0.94). In one cluster, less-than-expected unfavorable outcomes (O/E = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.05-0.95) and more-than-expected good recoveries (O/E = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.05-2.06) were observed. The improved prognostic accuracy of the pattern of these six circulating biomarkers at ICU admission upon established clinical parameters and computed tomography results needs validation in larger, independent cohorts. Nonetheless, the results of this pilot study are promising and will prompt further research in personalized medicine for TBI patients.

Abstract
Serum biomarkers are associated with hemorrhagic transformation and brain edema after cerebral infarction. However, whether serum biomarkers predict hemorrhagic transformation in large vessel occlusion stroke even after mechanical thrombectomy, which has become widely used, remains uncertain. In this prospective study, we enrolled patients with large vessel occlusion stroke in the anterior circulation. We analyzed 91 patients with serum samples obtained on admission. The levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), amyloid precursor protein (APP) 770, endothelin-1, S100B, and claudin-5 were measured. We examined the association between serum biomarkers and hemorrhagic transformation within one week. Fifty-four patients underwent mechanical thrombectomy, and 17 patients developed relevant hemorrhagic transformation (rHT, defined as hemorrhagic changes ≥ hemorrhagic infarction type 2). Neither MMP-9 (no rHT: 46 ± 48 vs. rHT: 15 ± 4 ng/mL, P = 0.30), APP770 (80 ± 31 vs. 85 ± 8 ng/mL, P = 0.53), endothelin-1 (7.0 ± 25.7 vs. 2.0 ± 2.1 pg/mL, P = 0.42), S100B (13 ± 42 vs. 12 ± 15 pg/mL, P = 0.97), nor claudin-5 (1.7 ± 2.3 vs. 1.9 ± 1.5 ng/mL, P = 0.68) levels on admission were associated with subsequent rHT. When limited to patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy, the level of claudin-5 was higher in patients with rHT than in those without (1.2 ± 1.0 vs. 2.1 ± 1.7 ng/mL, P = 0.0181). APP770 levels were marginally higher in patients with a midline shift ≥ 5 mm than in those without (79 ± 29 vs. 97 ± 41 ng/mL, P = 0.084). The predictive role of serum biomarkers has to be reexamined in the mechanical thrombectomy era because some previously reported serum biomarkers may not predict hemorrhagic transformation, whereas the level of APP770 may be useful for predicting brain edema.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the ability of serum protein S100B (S100B) and brain lipid-binding protein (BLBP) to identify athletes who sustained a sports-related concussion (SRC). Subjects included a non-athlete group, whereas the rugby players were separated into two match-control and two SRC groups. The match-control <1-h group included players undergoing venipuncture within 60-min post-match, and the match-control >1-h/<8-h group included players undergoing venipuncture between 1 and 8 h post-match; the SRC <1-h group included players undergoing venipuncture within 60-min post-SRC, and the SRC >1-h/<8-h group included players undergoing venipuncture between 1 and 8 h post-SRC. Serum S100B concentrations were not significantly different (p = 0.112) among protocols. Serum BLBP was greater in the match-control <1-h group (p < 0.001) and the SRC >1-h/<8-h group (p = 0.003) compared to the non-athlete group. The ability of serum BLBP to distinguish between SRC groups and the non-athlete group was shown to be good to excellent (AUROC, >0.8; p < 0.05), and between match-control groups and the non-athlete group were shown to be excellent (AUROC, >0.9; p < 0.05). Our results show that serum S100B is not useful in distinguishing concussed or post-match athletes from non-athletes. However, serum BLBP was shown to distinguish non-athletes from post-match or concussed athletes. Serum BLBP could not distinguish between athletes experiencing an SRC within 1 h of blood draw and those participating in a contact sport.

Abstract
Early treatment of moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) with progesterone does not improve clinical outcomes. This is in contrast with findings from pre-clinical studies of progesterone in TBI. To understand the reasons for the negative clinical trial, we investigated whether progesterone treatment has the desired biological effect of decreasing brain cell death. We quantified brain cell death using serum levels of biomarkers of glial and neuronal cell death (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase-L1 [UCH-L1], S100 calcium-binding protein B [S100B], and Alpha II Spectrin Breakdown Product 150 [SBDP]) in the Biomarkers of Injury and Outcome-Progesterone for Traumatic Brain Injury, Experimental Clinical Treatment (BIO-ProTECT) study. Serum levels of GFAP, UCHL1, S100B, and SBDP were measured at baseline (≤4 h post-injury and before administration of study drug) and at 24 and 48 h post-injury. Serum progesterone levels were measured at 24 and 48 h post-injury. The primary outcome of ProTECT was based on the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended assessed at 6 months post-randomization. We found that at baseline, there were no differences in biomarker levels between subjects randomized to progesterone treatment and those randomized to placebo (p > 0.10). Similarly, at 24 and 48 h post-injury, there were no differences in biomarker levels in the progesterone versus placebo groups (p > 0.15). There was no statistically significant correlation between serum progesterone concentrations and biomarker values obtained at 24 and 48 h. When examined as a continuous variable, baseline biomarker levels did not modify the association between progesterone treatment and neurological outcome (p of interaction term >0.39 for all biomarkers). We conclude that progesterone treatment does not decrease levels of biomarkers of glial and neuronal cell death during the first 48 h post-injury.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between the levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100B protein and coma duration, and evaluate the optimal cut-off values for prediction coma duration ≥ 72 hours in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP).A total of 60 patients with ACOP were divided into 3 following groups according to their status of consciousness and coma duration at admission: Awake group [Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS score) ≥ 13 points], Coma < 72 hours group (GCS score < 13 points and coma duration < 72 h), and Coma ≥ 72 hours group (GCS score < 13 points and coma duration ≥ 72 h). The levels of serum NSE and S100B protein were measured after admission.There were significant differences in GCS score, carbon monoxide (CO) exposure time, NSE, and S100B levels between the Coma ≥ 72 h group and the Awake group, and between the Coma < 72 h group and the Awake group. Significant differences in GCS score, NSE, and S100B levels were also found between Coma ≥ 72 h group and Coma < 72 h group. Correlation analysis showed that NSE and S100B were positively correlated (rs = 0.590, P < .01); NSE and S100B were negatively correlated with GCS score (rs = -0.583, rs = -0.590, respectively, both P < .01). The areas under the curve (AUCs) of NSE, S100B, and GCS score to predict the coma duration ≥ 72 hours were 0.754, 0.791, and 0.785, respectively. Pairwise comparisons did not show differences among the 3 groups (all P > .05). The sensitivity and specificity of NSE prediction with a cut-off value of 13 μg/L were 80% and 64%, respectively, and those of S100B prediction with a cut-off value of 0.43 μg/L were 70% and 88%, respectively.The NSE and S100B protein levels were significantly correlated with the degree of impaired consciousness and had the same clinical value in predicting coma duration of ≥ 72 hours in patients with ACOP.

Abstract
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a disorder mainly due to asphyxia during the perinatal period, and late diagnosis leads to high mortality. In this study, the expression of microRNA-199a (miR-199a) in HIE newborns was investigated, as well as its clinical significance in HIE diagnosis and prognosis. Circulating levels of S100B and NSE in HIE newborns were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expression of miR-199a was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. The diagnostic value of miR-199a, S100B and NSE was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and their prognostic value was assessed by the evaluation of Gesell intellectual development of the HIE newborns. HIE newborns possessed significantly increased levels of S100B and NSE and decreased miR-199a (all P < 0.01). The Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA) score of HIE newborns was negatively correlated with S100B and NSE, while was positively correlated miR-199a. The ROC analysis results showed the diagnostic value of serum miR-199a, and the combined detection of miR-199a, S100B and NSE could obtained the highest diagnostic accuracy in HIE newborns. miR-199a expression was lowest in newborns with severe HIE, and it had diagnostic potential to distinguish HIE cases with different severity. Regarding the prognosis of neonatal HIE, the correlation of miR-199a, S100B, NSE with Gesell intellectual development was found in HIE newborns. The decreased miR-199a in HIE newborns serves as a potential diagnostic biomarker and may help to improve the diagnostic and prognostic value of S100B and NSE in neonatal HIE.

Abstract
Currently, forensic research is multidisciplinary with new methods and parameters useful to define the cause and time of death as well as survival/agony times. The identification of biochemical markers able to estimate agonal period has been studied by many forensic researchers. It is known that the estimation of agonal time in different types of death is not always easy, hence our interest in literature's data. The studies analyzed in this review confirm the important role of thanatobiochemistry for the estimation of survival times. Regardless of the death cause, the survival/agony time between the primary event and death influences markers concentrations in biological samples (e.g., blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid). Different biomarkers can be used for qualitative evaluations in deaths with short and long agony (e.g., C-reactive protein, ferritin, GFAP, etc.). Instead, the quantitative interpretation showed limits due to the lack of reference cut-offs. Thanatobiochemistry is a useful tool to confirm what emerged from autopsies findings (macroscopic and histological analysis), but further studies are desirable to confirm the evidence emerging from our review of the literature.

Abstract
To investigate whether plasma concentrations of S100β protein, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and neuroglobin (NGB) correlate with early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in patients undergoing total arch replacement.This prospective study analyzed 40 patients who underwent total arch replacement combined with stented elephant trunk implantation at our hospital between March 2017 and January 2019. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) preoperatively, on the day after extubation and on day 7 after surgery. Plasma levels of S100β, NSE, and NGB POCD were assayed preoperatively and at 1, 6, and 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass. POCD was defined as a decrease of at least 1 unit in the MMSE score from before surgery until day 7, and patients were stratified into those who experienced POCD or not. The 2 groups were compared in clinicodemographic characteristics and plasma levels of the 3 proteins.Plasma levels of all 3 biomarkers increased significantly during and after cardiopulmonary bypass. Levels of S100β and NSE, but not NGB, were significantly higher in the 15 patients who showed POCD than in the remainder who did not. For prediction of early POCD, S100β showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.55-0.87), sensitivity of 48%, and specificity of 87%. The corresponding values for NSE were 0.77 (95%CI 0.60-0.94), 92%, and 67%. Together, S100β and NSE showed an AUC of 0.81 (95%CI 0.66-0.96), sensitivity of 73%, and specificity of 80%. NGB did not significantly predict early POCD (AUC 0.62, 95%CI 0.43-0.80).Plasma S100β protein and NSE, but not NGB, may help predict early POCD after total arch replacement.

Abstract
The health effects of prolonged exposure to embedded metal fragments, such as those found in shrapnel wounds sustained by an increasing number of military personnel, are not well known. As part of a large collaborative effort to expand this knowledge, we use an animal model of shrapnel wounds originally developed to investigate effects of embedded depleted uranium to investigate effects of military-relevant metals tungsten, nickel, cobalt, iron, copper, aluminum, lead, and depleted uranium compared to an inert control, tantalum. Rats are surgically implanted with pellets of one of the metals of interest in the gastrocnemius (leg) muscle and tracked until 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months from the time of implant, at which point they are euthanized and multiple organs and tissue samples are collected for inspection. Here we focus on four regions of the brain: frontal cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum. We examined changes in accumulated metal concentration in each region as well as changes in expression of proteins related to blood brain barrier tight junction formation, occludin and ZO-1, and synapse function, PSD95, spinophilin, and synaptotagmin. We report few changes in metal accumulation or blood brain barrier protein expression, but a large number of synapse proteins have reduced expression levels, particularly within the first 6 months of exposure, but there are regional and metal-specific differences in effects.

Abstract
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to determine need for head computed tomography (CT) within 12 h after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) (Glasgow Coma Score [GCS] 13-15); S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) serves this function in Europe. This phase 1 biomarker cohort analysis of the multi-center, observational Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) study compares GFAP's diagnostic performance, measured on a rapid point-of-care platform, against protein S100B to predict intracranial abnormalities on CT within 24 h post-injury across the spectrum of TBI (GCS 3-15). Head CT scan performed in TBI subjects and blood was collected for all consenting subjects presenting to 18 United States level 1 trauma centers. Plasma was analyzed on a point-of-care device prototype assay for GFAP and serum was analyzed for S100B. In 1359 patients with TBI (GCS 3-15), mean (standard deviation [SD]) age = 40.1 (17.0) years; 68% were male. Plasma GFAP levels were significantly higher in CT+ TBI subjects (median = 1358 pg/mL, interquartile range [IQR]: 472-3803) than in CT- TBI subjects (median = 116 pg/mL, IQR: 26-397) or orthopedic trauma controls (n = 122; median = 13 pg/mL, IQR: 7-20), p < 0.001. Serum S100B levels were likewise higher in CT+ TBI subjects (median = 0.17 μg/L, IQR: 0.09-0.38) than in CT- TBI subjects (median = 0.10 μg/L, IQR: 0.06-0.18), p < 0.001. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated for prediction of intracranial injury on admission CT scan; area under the curve (AUC) for GFAP was significantly higher than for S100B in the same cohort (GFAP AUC - 0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.83-0.87; S100B AUC - 0.67, 95% CI 0.64-0.70; p < 0.001). GFAP, measured on a point-of-care platform prototype assay, has high discriminative ability to predict intracranial abnormalities on CT scan in patients with TBI across the full injury spectrum of GCS 3-15 through 24 h post-injury. GFAP substantially outperforms S100B.

Abstract
Benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) and febrile seizures (FS) associated with mild gastroenteritis are 2 different diseases in the spectrum of seizures associated with mild gastroenteritis. However, specific and useful indicators for the identification of the 2 diseases are lacking. A retrospective analysis was performed to compare the serum neuronal-specific enolase (NSE) and S100B protein levels between patients with these 2 diseases to evaluate the value of NSE and S100B for differential diagnosis between these 2 diseases.The clinical data and NSE and S100B protein levels of 81 children with seizure-associated mild gastroenteritis were collected. According to the axillary temperature at the time of convulsions, all patients were classified into an afebrile seizure (AFS) group, hereafter called the CwG group (n = 46), and a febrile seizure group (FS group, n = 35).The serum NSE level was higher in the CwG group than in the FS group (14.046 (11.095, 19.266) pg/ml and 9.034 (7.158, 12.165) pg/ml, respectively, P < .001); however, the serum S100B protein levels in the CwG and the FS group were not significantly different (P > .05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for NSE was 0.806, P = .000, which was statistically significant. The Youden index was largest (0.605) for a serum NSE cut-off value of 10.460 pg/ml, which yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 89% and 71%, respectively, for prediction of a CwG diagnosis.NSE may contribute to the differential diagnosis of CwG and FS associated with mild gastroenteritis.

Abstract
Early S100B protein serum elevation is associated with poor prognosis in patients with ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVM). The purpose of this study is to determine whether a secondary elevation of S100B is associated with early complications or poor outcome in this population. This is a retrospective study of patients admitted for BAVM rupture. A secondary increase of S100B was defined as an absolute increase by 0.1 μg/L within 30 days of admission. Fisher’s and unpaired t tests followed by multivariate analysis were performed to identify markers associated with this increase. Two hundred and twenty-one ruptures met inclusion criteria. Secondary S100B protein serum elevation was found in 17.1% of ruptures and was associated with secondary infarction (p < 0.001), vasospasm-related infarction (p < 0.001), intensive care (p = 0.009), and hospital length of stay (p = 0.005), but not with early rebleeding (p = 0.07) or in-hospital mortality (p = 0.99). Secondary infarction was the only independent predictor of secondary increase of S100B (OR 9.9; 95% CI (3–35); p < 0.001). Secondary elevation of S100B protein serum levels is associated with secondary infarction in ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the effect of subconcussive head impacts on acute changes in plasma S100B. In this randomized controlled trial, 79 healthy adult soccer players were randomly assigned to either the heading (n = 41) or kicking-control groups (n = 38). The heading group executed 10 headers with soccer balls projected at a speed of 25 mph, whereas the kicking-control group performed 10 kicks. Plasma samples were obtained at pre-, 0h post-, 2h post- and 24h post-intervention and measured for S100B. The primary hypothesis was that there would be a significant group difference (group-by-time interaction) in plasma S100B at 2h post-intervention. Secondary hypotheses included (1) no significant group differences in plasma S100B concentrations at 0h post- and 24h post-intervention; (2) a significant within-group increase in S100B concentrations in the heading group at 2h post-intervention compared to pre-intervention; and (3) no significant within-group changes in plasma S100B in the kicking-control group. Data from 68 subjects were available for analysis (heading n = 37, kicking n = 31). There were no differences in S100B concentrations between heading and kicking groups over time, as evidenced by nonsignificant group-by-time interaction at 2h post-intervention (B = 2.20, 95%CI [-22.22, 26.63], p = 0.86) and at all the other time points (0h post: B = -11.05, 95%CI [-35.37, 13.28], p = 0.38; 24h post: B = 16.11, 95%CI [-8.29, 40.51], p = 0.20). Part of the secondary outcome, the heading group showed elevation in plasma S100B concentrations at 24h post-intervention compared to pre-heading baseline (B = 19.57, 95%CI [3.13, 36.02], p = 0.02), whereas all other within-group comparisons in both remained nonsignificant. The data suggest that 10 bouts of acute controlled soccer headings do not elevate S100B concentrations up to 24-hour post-heading. Further dose-response studies with longer follow-up time points may help determine thresholds of acute soccer heading exposure that are related to astrocyte activation. The protocol was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03488381; retrospectively registered.).

Abstract
S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) might be peripheral markers reflecting glia and neuronal abnormalities in subjects with bipolar disorder. We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis, searching for studies indexed in main electronic databases, to clarify whether S100B and NSE blood levels might be increased in bipolar disorder. Eleven studies met eligibility criteria, with data on S100B levels and/or NSE levels in subjects with bipolar disorder and healthy controls, respectively. Random-effects meta-analysis estimated higher levels of S100B in bipolar disorder (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.81; p < .001), with some inconsistency across studies (I2 = 81.7%). Findings were confirmed by relevant sensitivity analyses. Meta-regression analyses did not estimate any effect for tested covariates. On the other hand, no differences in NSE levels between individuals with bipolar disorder and healthy controls were estimated (SMD = -0.32; p = .374), with high heterogeneity across studies (I2 = 89.9%). Meta-regression analyses showed that the effect size was influenced by both mean age (p < .001) and illness duration (p = .001) of subjects with bipolar disorders. Our findings support the hypothesis of a possible role of glial abnormalities in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder.

Abstract
To study the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the 3' untranslated region (UTR) rs9722 locus in S100B and the risk of chronic heart failure (CHF), plasma levels of S100B protein as well as has-miR-340-3p in a Chinese Han population.A total of 215 patients with CHF (124 ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and 91 dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)) and 215 healthy controls were recruited to analyze the S100B rs9722 genotype by Sanger sequencing. The levels of hsa-miR-340-3p in the plasma were detected by RT-PCR, and S100B levels were detected by ELISA.The risk of CHF in S100B rs9722 locus T allele carriers was 4.24 times higher than that in those with the C allele (95% CI: 2.84-6.33, P < .001). The association of S100B rs9722 locus SNP with ICM and DCM risk was not affected by factors such as age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). The levels of plasma S100B and hsa-miR-340-3p in patients with ICM and DCM were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < .001). There was no significant difference in plasma S100B levels between patients with ICM and DCM (P > .05). Among ICM, DCM, and control subjects, TT genotype carriers had the highest levels of plasma S100B and hsa-miR-340-3p, followed by the CT genotype and TT genotype, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). Plasma hsa-miR-340-3p levels were positively correlated with S100B levels in the control subjects and patients with ICM and DCM.The S100B rs9722 locus SNP is associated with CHF risk in a Chinese Han population.

Abstract
The brain is an organ in which energy metabolism occurs most intensively and glucose is an essential and dominant energy substrate. There have been many studies in recent years suggesting a close relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as they have many pathophysiological features in common. The condition of hyperglycemia exposes brain cells to the detrimental effects of glucose, increasing protein glycation and is the cause of different non-psychiatric complications. Numerous observational studies show that not only hyperglycemia but also blood glucose levels near lower fasting limits (72 to 99 mg/dL) increase the incidence of AD, regardless of whether T2DM will develop in the future. As the comorbidity of these diseases and earlier development of AD in T2DM sufferers exist, new AD biomarkers are being sought for etiopathogenetic changes associated with early neurodegenerative processes as a result of carbohydrate disorders. The S100B protein seem to be interesting in this respect as it may be a potential candidate, especially important in early diagnostics of these diseases, given that it plays a role in both carbohydrate metabolism disorders and neurodegenerative processes. It is therefore necessary to clarify the relationship between the concentration of the S100B protein and glucose and insulin levels. This paper draws attention to a valuable research objective that may in the future contribute to a better diagnosis of early neurodegenerative changes, in particular in subjects with T2DM and may be a good basis for planning experiments related to this issue as well as a more detailed explanation of the relationship between the neuropathological disturbances and changes of glucose and insulin concentrations in the brain.

Abstract
The early detection of perinatal brain damage in preterm and term newborns (i.e. intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia and perinatal asphyxia) still constitute an unsolved issue. To date, despite technological improvement in standard perinatal monitoring procedures, decreasing the incidence of perinatal mortality, the perinatal morbidity pattern has a flat trend. Against this background, the measurement of brain constituents could be particularly useful in the early detection of cases at risk for short-/long-term brain injury. On this scenario, the main European and US international health-care institutions promoted perinatal clinical and experimental neuroprotection research projects aimed at validating and including a panel of biomarkers in the clinical guidelines. Although this is a promising attempt, there are several limitations that do not allow biomarkers to be included in standard monitoring procedures. The main limitations are: (i) the heterogeneity of neurological complications in the perinatal period, (ii) the small cohort sizes, (iii) the lack of multicenter investigations, (iv) the different techniques for neurobiomarkers assessment, (iv) the lack of consensus for the validation of assays in biological fluids such as urine and saliva, and (v), the lack of reference curves according to measurement technique and biological fluid. In the present review we offer an up-to-date overview of the most promising developments in the use of biomarkers in the perinatal period such as calcium binding proteins (S100B protein), vasoactive agents (adrenomedullin), brain biomarkers (activin A, neuron specific enolase, glial fibrillary acidic protein, ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase-L1) and oxidative stress markers.

Abstract
Background Preoperative patients’ vulnerabilities such as physical, social, and psychological are implicated in postoperative pain variability. Nevertheless, it is a challenge to analyze a patient's psychological profile in the preoperative period in a practical and consistent way. Thus, we sought to identify if high preoperative emotional stress, evaluated by the Brief Measure of Emotional Preoperative Stress (B-MEPS) scale is associated with higher postoperative pain levels and poor rehabilitation in patients submitted to intermediate or major surgery. Moreover, the possible neurobiological or neurophysiological mechanisms implicated in high preoperative emotional stress, evaluated through preoperative quantitative sensory pain tests and serum biomarkers BDNF and S100B were investigated. Methods We conducted a prospective, observational, cohort study of ASA 2 and 3 adult patients undergoing major urologic, gynecologic, proctologic and orthopedic surgeries from March 2017 to March 2018. B-MEPS and Central Sensitivity Inventory were evaluated preoperatively, followed by a sequence of experimental pain tests and serum biomarkers collection. Postoperative evaluation carried out within the first 48 hours after surgery comprehended pain at rest and movement-evoked pain, and the consumption of morphine. Quality-of-Recovery was also evaluated in the 3rd postoperative day. Results 23 (15%) out of 150 patients included in the study presented high emotional preoperative stress. Variables significantly related to preoperative stress were: previous psychiatric diagnosis and Central Sensitization Inventory result. Mean movement-evoked pain in the first 12 to 48 hours was 95–105% higher than pain at rest. A mixed model for repeated measures showed a sustainable effect of B-MEPS as a movement-evoked pain predictor. Previous pain, cancer surgery, and preoperative pressure pain tolerance were also independent predictors of postoperative pain. Moderate to severe postoperative movement-evoked pain was predictive of poor rehabilitation in 48 hours after surgery. Conclusion We confirmed that a brief screening method of preoperative emotional states could detect individuals prone to experience severe postoperative pain. Specific interventions considering the stress level may be planned in the future to improve perioperative outcomes.

Abstract
Poly (lactide‑co‑glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) are biodegradable carriers that participate in the transport of neuroprotective drugs across the blood brain barrier (BBB). Targeted brain‑derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) delivery across the BBB could provide neuroprotection in brain injury. We tested the neuroprotective effect of PLGA nanoparticle‑bound BDNF in a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) model of ischemia in rats. Sprague‑Dawley rats were subjected to pMCAO. Four hours after pMCAO, two groups were intravenously treated with BDNF and NP‑BDNF, respectively. Functional outcome was assessed at 2 and 24 h after pMCAO, using the modified neurologic severity score (mNSS) and rotarod performance tests. Following functional assessments, rats were euthanized blood was taken to assess levels of the neurobiomarkers neuron‑specific enolase and S100 calcium‑binding protein β (S100β), and the brain was evaluated to measure the infarct volume. The NP‑BDNF‑treated group showed significant improvement in mNSS compared with pMCAO and BDNF‑treated groups and showed improved rotarod performance. The infarct volume in rats treated with NP‑BDNFs was also significantly smaller. These results were further corroborated by correlating differences in estimated NSE and S100β. NP‑BDNFs exhibit a significant neuroprotective effect in the pMCAO model of ischemia in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that glial mediated disruption of neuroplasticity contributes to depression. S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) promotes neuronal protection in nanomolar concentrations. Studies on its possible role as a treatment outcome marker in affective disorders are limited. Recent evidence suggests a putative role for S100B as a state marker of illness activity as it is found elevated in episodes of major depression. AIM To investigate whether higher S100B is associated with favourable treatment outcome following electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and to further explore whether S100B reflects a state marker of depression activity. METHODS Serum S100B samples, at baseline and post-ECT and clinical assessments including Montgomery Åsberg Rating scales were collected in 91 older depressed patients (mean age: 73.0 years), referred for ECT. Change in pre- and post-ECT S100B was compared between remitters and nonremitters. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to determine whether S100B was associated with remission of depression. RESULTS Patients with S100B levels in the intermediate tertile, that is, between 33 ng/L and 53 ng/L, had higher odds on remission, odds ratio: 5.5 (95%Confidence Interval (CI): 1.55-19.20, p = <0.01), and were more likely to remit from depression over time, hazard ratio: 1.96 (95%CI: 1.04-3.72, p = 0.04), compared with patients in the lowest tertile. There was no significant decrease in levels of S100B after ECT in both remitters and nonremitters. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that patients with higher S100B levels at baseline were more likely to remit from depression suggesting an association between higher S100B and responsiveness to ECT. Next, S100B levels do not decrease after remission, suggesting S100B is not a state marker of depression. S100B is not capable of predicting treatment outcome by itself, further research may combine outcome markers.

Abstract
Objective Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) are markers of different neurological disorders. The aim was to investigate the relationship between NSE and S100B serum concentrations and the severity of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in diabetic children. Methods Eighty children with DKA, 40 with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) without DKA and 40 healthy controls were enrolled. Severity of DKA was assessed according to blood pH and bicarbonate concentration. Serum NSE and S100B were measured in all participants. In the DKA group serum NSE and S100B were measured at three time points, at admission and at 12 hours and 24 hours after starting treatment. Results Children with DKA showed significantly higher serum levels of NSE at all time points compared to children with T1DM without DKA and controls (p<0.01), while serum S100B concentrations did not differ between the three cohorts. Children with T1DM but without DKA also had significantly higher serum levels of NSE (p<0.01) compared to healthy controls. Patients with low Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCSS) and those with moderate and severe DKA had significantly higher levels of NSE at all time points (p<0.01 for each) compared to patients with normal GCSS and those with mild DKA. No significant differences were found in serum S100B levels according to the severity of DKA and GCS (p>0.05). Younger age, lower GCSS, higher glucose and HbA1c, lower pH and lower serum bicarbonate were the risk factors associated with elevated NSE. Conclusion Serum NSE is elevated in all patients with type 1 DM and, in patients with DKA, correlates with severity of DKA. However, serum S100B concentration did not differ between T1DM with or without DKA and healthy controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although surgical field visualization is important in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), the complications associated with controlled hypotension for surgery should be considered. Intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative stroke, leading to subsequent hypoxia with potential neurologic injury. We investigated the effect of propofol and desflurane anesthesia on S-100β and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels which are early biomarkers for cerebral ischemic change during controlled hypotension for FESS. METHODS For controlled hypotension during FESS, anesthesia was maintained with propofol/remifentanil in propofol group (n = 30) and with desflurane/remifentanil in desflurane group (n = 30). For S-100β and GFAP assay, blood samples were taken at base, 20 and 60 minutes after achieving the target range of mean arterial pressure, and at 60 minutes after surgery. RESULTS The base levels of S-100β were 98.04 ± 78.57 and 112.61 ± 66.38 pg/mL in the propofol and desflurane groups, respectively. The base levels of GFAP were 0.997 ± 0.486 and 0.898 ± 0.472 ng/mL in the propofol and desflurane groups, respectively. The S-100β and GFAP levels were significantly increased in the study period compared to the base levels in both groups (P ≤ .001). There was no significant difference at each time point between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION On comparing the effects of propofol and desflurane anesthesia for controlled hypotension on the levels of S-100β and GFAP, we noted that there was no significant difference in S-100β and GFAP levels between the 2 study groups.

Abstract
Nusinersen is the first approved drug for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Treatment of SMA with nusinersen is based on a fixed dosing regimen. For other motoneuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), biomarkers are available for clinical diagnostics; however, no such biomarkers have yet been found for SMA. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of 11 patients with adult SMA type 3 were prospectively collected and analyzed during loading with nusinersen. Neurofilament heavy chain, tau protein, S100B protein, and neuron-specific enolase were investigated as potential biomarkers of motor neuron destruction. No significant pathological alterations in levels of neurofilament heavy chain, tau protein, or S100B protein were detected in the CSF or blood samples under baseline conditions or during loading with nusinersen. Neuron-specific enolase was marginally elevated in CSF and blood samples without significant alteration during treatment. In a mixed cohort of adult patients with SMA type 3, neurofilament heavy chain, tau protein, S100B protein, and neuron-specific enolase do not serve as potential biomarkers during the loading phase of nusinersen. The slow progression rate of SMA type 3 may not lead to detectable elevation of levels of these common markers of axonal degradation.

Abstract
Sharp increase in multiple sclerosis (MS) incidence rate has been observed in Iranian people. In addition, it has been suggested that increased S100B level may be useful as an indicative factor of blood-brain barrier disruption. The propose of this study was to measuring blood arsenic, lead, and cadmium concentration and serum S100B concentration in a group of healthy and multiple sclerosis patients in Tehran as the most polluted city in Iran. All subjects were interviewed regarding age, medical history, possible chemical exposure, acute or chronic diseases, smoking, and dietary habits. Blood heavy metal level was measured by an atomic absorption spectrometer (Varian model 220-Z) conjugated with a graphite furnace atomizer (GTA-110). Also, a serum S100B protein concentration was determined using a commercial ELISA kit. It was observed that all male subjects had higher blood metal level in comparison with healthy controls. Also, MS patients had higher arsenic and cadmium blood concentration in comparison with healthy individuals. Regarding the S100B concentration, it was observed that it had a significant relationship with smoking habit (P value = 0.0001). In addition, arsenic had a greater correlation (63%) with increased serum S100B biomarker level among other elements. BBB leakage was higher in multiple sclerosis than in healthy subjects due to increased S100B release. In addition with regard to the heavy metal exposure especially arsenic and cadmium, these are associated with an increased BBB disruption and it is possible to play a crucial role as a developing agent of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Crocus sativus L. has been used throughout the world in traditional medicine as a treatment for neurological disorders such as depression. Growing attention is currently being paid to the use of neuroprotective agents in ischemic strokes. AIM OF THE STUDY This study assed the effect of saffron as a neuroprotective natural product in cerebral ischemia in human. STUDY DESIGN Patients with acute ischemic stroke were randomly allocated to receive either routine stroke care (control group, n = 20) or routine care plus aqueous extract of saffron capsule (200 mg/day) (saffron-treated group, n = 19). Both groups were monitored during their four-day hospital stay and the three-month follow-up period. The groups were compared in terms of short- and long-term effects of saffron capsules using the National Institute of Health Stoke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel Scale, and serum neuron specific enolase (NSE), Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), S100 levels. RESULTS Based on the NIHSS, the severity of stroke during the first four days was significantly lower in the saffron-treated group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared to the levels on the first day, serum NSE and s100 levels were significantly decreased and BDNF concentration was increased in the saffron-treated group on the fourth day. Also, our results showed there was a negative significant non-linear cubic regression between BDNF concentration and score of NIHSS. At the end of the three-month follow-up period, the mean Barthel index was significantly higher in the saffron-treated group than in the control group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The results of this study confirmed the short and long-term neuroprotective effects of aqueous extract of saffron on ischemic stroke in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether serum neurogranin (NRGN), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and calcium-binding protein S100 beta (S100B) levels are associated with traumatic intracranial lesions compared to computed tomography (CT) findings of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). PATIENTS AND METHODS The cross-sectional study cohort included 48 patients who were admitted to the Emergency Department with a complaint of mTBI, a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 14-15, and at least one symptom of head trauma (i.e., post-traumatic amnesia, nausea or vomiting, post-traumatic seizures, persistent headache, and transient loss of consciousness). Blood samples and CT scans were obtained for all patients within 4 h of injury. Age-matched patients without intracranial traumatic pathology (CT-) were recruited as a control group. Blood samples were measured for NRGN, GFAP, and S100B levels. RESULTS Of 48 patients, 24 were CT + and had significantly higher serum NRGN (5.79 vs. 2.95 ng/mL), GFAP (0.59 vs.0.36 ng/mL), and S100B (1.72 vs.0.73 μg/L) levels than those who were CT- (p = 0.001, p = 0.026, and p < 0.001, respectively). ROC curves showed that NRGN, GFAP, and S100B levels were sufficient to distinguish traumatic brain injury in patients with mTBI. At the cut-off value for NRGN of 1.87 ng/mL, sensivity was 83.3%, and specificity was 58.3%. At the cut-off value for GFAP of 0.23 ng/mL, sensivity was 75% and specificity was 62.5%. The optimal cut-off value for S100B was 0.47 μg/L (95.8% sensitivity and 62.5% specificity). CONCLUSION This is the first study to evaluate NRGN in human serum after mTBI. We confirmed that NRGN levels were significantly higher in CT + patients than CT- patients in the mTBI patient population. Future studies of larger populations and different age groups (especially pediatric) can help reduce the number of CT scans as a reliable and noninvasive diagnostic tool for evaluating NRGN protein levels in mTBI patients with a low probability of intracranial lesions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION S100B serum analysis in clinical routine could reduce the number of cranial CT (CCT) scans performed on children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Sampling should take place within 3 hours of trauma and cut-off levels should be based on paediatric reference ranges. The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of measuring serum S100B in the management of paediatric mTBI by demonstrating a decrease in the number of CCT scans prescribed in an S100B biomonitoring group compared with a 'conventional management' control group, with the assumption of a 30% relative decrease of the number of CCT scans between the two groups. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The protocol is a randomised, multicentre, unblinded, prospective, interventional study (nine centres) using a stepped wedge cluster design, comparing two groups (S100B biomonitoring and control). Children in the control group will have CCT scans or be hospitalised according to the current recommendations of the French Society of Paediatrics (SFP). In the S100B biomonitoring group, blood sampling to determine serum S100B protein levels will take place within 3 hours after mTBI and subsequent management will depend on the assay. If S100B is in the normal range according to age, the children will be discharged from the emergency department after 6 hours' observation. If the result is abnormal, CCT scans or hospitalisation will be prescribed in accordance with current SFP recommendations. The primary outcome measure will be the proportion of CCT scans performed (absence/presence of CCT scan for each patient) in the 48 hours following mTBI. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol presented (Version 5, 03 November 2017) has been approved by the ethics committee Comité de Protection des Personnes sud-est 6 (first approval 08 June 2016, IRB: 00008526). Participation in the study is voluntary and anonymous. The study findings will be disseminated in international peer-reviewed journals and presented at relevant conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02819778.

Abstract
Arsenic is one of the most important environmental pollutants especially in drinking water. The S100B protein is presented as a sensitive biomarker for assessment of the blood-brain barrier integrity previously. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water and serum S100B correlation. Fifty-four male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups. Group I and II subjects were treated with arsenic trioxide (1 ppm and 10 ppm, respectively), while the rest received normal drinking water. Arsenic concentration in serum and brain was measured by an atomic absorption spectrometer (Varian model 220-Z) conjugated with a graphite furnace atomizer (GTA-110). Also, a serum S100B protein concentration was determined using commercial ELISA kit during different times of exposure. It was observed that body weight gain was significantly lower from the 10th week onwards in arsenic-treated subjects. However, it did not induce any visible clinical signs of toxicity. Measured arsenic level in serum and brain was higher in espoused groups as compared to the control subjects (p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). In addition, serum S100B content was increased over a period of 3 months and had significant differences as compared to the control and 1-ppm group especially after 3 months of exposure in the 10-ppm group (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, it could be inferred that long-term arsenic exposure via drinking water leads to brain arsenic accumulation with serum S100B elevated concentration as a probable BBB disruption consequence.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether the combination of procalcitonin (PCT) and S100B improves prognostic performance compared to either alone in cardiac arrest (CA) patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM).We performed a prospective cohort study of CA patients treated with TTM. PCT and S100B levels were obtained at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours after return of spontaneous circulation. The prognostic performance was analyzed using each marker and the combination of the 2 markers for predicting poor neurological outcome at 3 months and mortality at 14 days and 3 months.A total of 97 patients were enrolled, of which 67 (69.1%) had poor neurological outcome. S100B showed a better prognostic performance (area under the curve [AUC], 0.934; sensitivity, 77.6%; and specificity, 100%) than PCT (AUC, 0.861; sensitivity, 70.2%; and specificity, 83.3%) with the highest prognostic value at 24 hours. The combination of 24-hour PCT and S100B values (S100B ≥0.2 μg/L or PCT ≥6.6 ng/mL) improved sensitivity (85.07%) compared with S100B alone. In multivariate analysis, PCT was associated with mortality at 14 days (odds ratio [OR]: 1.064, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.014-1.118), whereas S100B was associated with neurological outcomes at 3 months (OR: 9.849, 95% CI: 2.089-46.431).The combination of PCT and S100B improved prognostic performance compared to the use of either biomarker alone in CA patient treated with TTM. Further studies that will identify the optimal cutoff values for these biomarkers must be conducted.

Abstract
S100B is a calcium-binding protein most abundant in neuronal tissue. It is expressed in glial cells and Schwann cells and exerts both intra- and extracellular effects. Depending on the concentration, secreted S100B exerts either trophic or toxic effects. Its functions have been extensively studied but are still not fully understood. It can be measured in cerebrospinal fluid and in blood, and increased S100B level in blood can be seen after, e.g., traumatic brain injury, certain neurodegenerative disorders, and malignant melanoma. This chapter provides a short background of protein S100B, commercially available methods of analysis, and its clinical use, especially as a biomarker in minor head injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kudiezi injection is a traditional Chinese medicine for acute cerebral infarction, but the exact mechanisms are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanisms of Kudiezi injection on the inflammatory response in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. METHODS This was a prospective study of patients with acute cerebral infarction within 48 h of onset and treated between July 2012 and July 2016 at three hospitals in China. The patients were randomized to routine treatments (control group) versus routine treatments and Kudiezi injection (Kudiezi group). The National Institutes of Health Stroke Score was assessed on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14. The patients were tested for serum levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (S100 calcium-binding protein B, neuron-specific enolase, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, interleukin-18, and matrix metaloproteinase-9; by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) immediately after admission and on days 3, 5, and 14. RESULTS Stroke scores were improved in both groups from days 1 to 14. On days 5 and 7, stroke scores in the Kudiezi group were lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with controls, the Kudiezi group had lower serum S100 calcium-binding protein B on day 14; higher interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 on day 3; lower interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 on day 5; and lower interleukin-18 and matrix metaloproteinase-9 on day 14. CONCLUSION Kudiezi injection could lead to early reduction of interleukin-6, interleukin-18, matrix metaloproteinase-9, neuron-specific enolase, and S100 calcium-binding protein B levels and increases of interleukin-10 levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01636154.

Abstract
Elevated serum and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of S100β, a protein predominantly found in glia, are associated with intracranial injury and neurodegeneration, although concentrations are also influenced by several other factors. The longitudinal association between serum S100β concentrations and brain health in nonpathological aging is unknown. In a large group (baseline N = 593; longitudinal N = 414) of community-dwelling older adults at ages 73 and 76 years, we examined cross-sectional and parallel longitudinal changes between serum S100β and brain MRI parameters: white matter hyperintensities, perivascular space visibility, white matter fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity (MD), global atrophy, and gray matter volume. Using bivariate change score structural equation models, correcting for age, sex, diabetes, and hypertension, higher S100β was cross-sectionally associated with poorer general fractional anisotropy (r = -0.150, p = 0.001), which was strongest in the anterior thalamic (r = -0.155, p < 0.001) and cingulum bundles (r = -0.111, p = 0.005), and survived false discovery rate correction. Longitudinally, there were no significant associations between changes in brain imaging parameters and S100β after false discovery rate correction. These data provide some weak evidence that S100β may be an informative biomarker of brain white matter aging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of ginkgo biloba extract (EGb) as an adjunctive treatment of elderly patients with depression and the effect on the expression of serum S100B. METHODS 136 elderly patients with depression were divided into EGb + citalopram (Cit) group and Cit group equally. Efficacy was evaluated by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). Wisconsin Card Classification Test (WCST) was used to evaluate cognitive function. Serum S100B expression was measured with ELISA. The relationship of S100B with HAMD, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score, and WCST results was evaluated subsequently. RESULTS The time of onset of efficacy was significantly shorter in EGb + Cit group. There were significant differences in HAMD and HAMA scores after treatment than before treatment between groups (all P < .05). After treatment, total number of WCST test, the number of continuous errors and non-persistent errors in both groups were less than those before treatment. The correct number and classifications number were increased than before treatment. In EGb + Cit group, correct numbers and classifications were increased, and the number of persistent errors was decreased. After treatment, S100B level was decreased, and S100B levels change in EGb + Cit group was greater than in Cit group. Serum S100B level was positively correlated with HAMD and HAMA scores before treatment and positively correlated with persistent errors number in WCST. CONCLUSION EGb, as an adjunctive treatment, can effectively improve depressive symptoms and reduce expression of serum S100B, which is a marker of brain injury, suggesting that EGb restores neurologic function during the treatment of depression in elderly patients and S100B participates in the therapeutic mechanism. EGb combined with depressive drugs plays synergistic role, and the time of onset of efficacy is faster than single antidepressants.

Abstract
The altered expression levels of S100 proteins can lead to four different categories of diseases: diseases of the heart and of the central nervous system, inflammatory disorders and cancer. Various studies have shown the lack of harmonization of the results obtained with different methods, mainly due to different performances and measurements of S100B. The purpose of this work was to compare quantitatively the fully automated Elecsys® immunoassay with the reference immunoenzimatic method CanAg® EIA for serum S100B protein. In the study serum samples were analyzed of 161 patients: 85 females (aged 22-83 years) and 76 males (aged 16-90 years), affected by oncological and non-oncological pathologies. PassingBablok regression was used to analyze the comparison between the assays; it showed a strong interassay correlation: r = 0.9350 (95% CI =0.9122 0.9520), with an intercept of 0.02063 (95% CI=-0.02850 0.01400) and a slope of 1.1125 (95% CI=1.0200 1.2417). Elecsys® S100 assay should be preferred to CanAg® S100 for better standardization, good reliability and precision but also with the aim to reduce costs and obtain results in a shorter time.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate if concentrations of the neuronal proteins neurofilament light chain and tau are changed in women developing preeclampsia and to evaluate the ability of a combination of neurofilament light chain, tau, S100B and neuron specific enolase in identifying neurologic impairment before diagnosis of preeclampsia. Methods A nested case-control study within a longitudinal study cohort was performed. 469 healthy pregnant women were enrolled between 2004–2007 and plasma samples were collected at gestational weeks 10, 25, 28, 33 and 37. Plasma concentrations of tau and neurofilament light chain were analyzed in 16 women who eventually developed preeclampsia and 36 controls throughout pregnancy with single molecule array (Simoa) method and compared within and between groups. S100B and NSE had been analyzed previously in the same study population. A statistical model with receiving characteristic operation curve was constructed with the four biomarkers combined. Results Plasma concentrations of neurofilament light chain were significantly increased in women who developed preeclampsia in gestational week 33 (11.85 ng/L, IQR 7.48–39.93 vs 6.80 ng/L, IQR 5.65–11.40) and 37 (22.15 ng/L, IQR 10.93–35.30 vs 8.40 ng/L, IQR 6.40–14.30) and for tau in gestational week 37 (4.33 ng/L, IQR 3.97–12.83 vs 3.77 ng/L, IQR 1.91–5.25) in contrast to healthy controls. A combined model for preeclampsia with tau, neurofilament light chain, S100B and neuron specific enolase in gestational week 25 displayed an area under the curve of 0.77, in week 28 it was 0.75, in week 33 it was 0.89 and in week 37 it was 0.83. Median week for diagnosis of preeclampsia was at 38 weeks of gestation. Conclusion Concentrations of both tau and neurofilament light chain are increased in the end of pregnancy in women developing preeclampsia in contrast to healthy pregnancies. Cerebral biomarkers might reflect cerebral involvement before onset of disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to compare serum levels of S100B between patients with metabolic syndrome and healthy subjects and to investigate the association of S100B with components of the metabolic syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 44 patients with metabolic syndrome and 44 healthy subjects participated. The participants' body mass index, waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured. Serum levels of low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, insulin, S100B protein were determined by enzymatic and ELISA methods. RESULTS The participants with metabolic syndrome had significantly higher levels of S100B than those in the control group (p < 0.0001). Serum levels of S100B protein were positively correlated with abdominal obesity (rho = 0.26; p = 0.01) and serum levels of triglyceride (rho = 0.26; p = 0.01). Moreover, serum levels of S100B were higher in subjects with abdominal obesity (p = 0.02), with higher serum triglyceride levels (p = 0.03) and with hypertension (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION The findings indicate that there may be a link between S100B protein with abdominal obesity and serum levels of triglycerides. This warrants further research to elucidate whether increased S100B levels in patients with metabolic syndrome are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
AIM Children surviving cardiac arrest (CA) lack proven neuroprotective therapies. The role of biomarkers in assessing response to interventions is unknown. We hypothesized that 72 versus 24 h of hypothermia (HT) would produce more favorable biomarker profiles after pediatric CA. METHODS This single center pilot randomized trial tested HT (33 ± 1 °C) for 24 vs. 72 h in 34 children with CA. Children comatose after return of circulation aged 1 week to 17 years and treated with HT by their physician were eligible. Serum was collected twice daily on days 1-4 and once on day 7. Mortality was assessed at 6 months. RESULTS Patient characteristics, baseline biomarker concentrations, and adverse events were similar between groups. Eight (47%) and 4 (24%) children died in the 24 h and 72 h groups, p = .3. Serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) concentration was increased in the 24 vs. 72 h group at 84 h-96 h (median [interquartile range] 47.7 [3.9, 79.9] vs. 1.4 [0.0, 11.1] ng/ml, p = .02) and on day 7 (18.2 [3.2, 74.0] vs. 2.6 [0.0, 12.8] ng/ml, p = .047). Serum S100b was increased in the 24 h vs. 72 h group at 12 h-24 h, 36 h-84 h, and on day 7, all p < 0.05. HT duration was associated with S100b (but not NSE or MBP) concentration on day 7 in multivariate analyses. CONCLUSION Serum biomarkers show promise as theragnostic tools in pediatric CA. Our biomarker and safety data also suggest that 72 h duration after pediatric CA warrants additional exploration.

Abstract
Patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT) are at risk of developing brain ischemia. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) has been established as a useful screening tool of cerebrovascular disease in patients with sickle cell disease. Proteins neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S100B are biomarkers that reflect CNS injury. The purpose of this study is to evaluate cerebral vessel vasculopathy and brain damage in NTDT patients using non-invasive methods as TCD and measurement serum levels of NSE and S100B. We included in our study 30 patients with NTDT, aged between 8 and 62 years old (mean: 29.4, median: 32) who presented in our Unit for regular follow-up. We performed in all patients a non-imaging TCD examination and have measured serum S100, NSE and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. We investigated the possible correlation between TCD results and S100B, NSE and LDH levels as well as between NSE-LDH and S100B-LDH levels by regression analysis. We found a statistically significant relationship for both NSE, S100B with LDH. We also found a statistically significant relationship for S100B and time-averaged mean velocity (TAMV)/peak velocity of left middle cerebral artery (MCA), NSE and pulsatility index (PI)/resistive index (RI) of the left posterior cerebral artery (PCA). TCD results correlated with biomarkers for brain ischemia. This finding enhances the role of TCD as a screening tool for brain ischemia in patients with NTDT.
