Does preoperative appearance of facial muscles on magnetic resonance predict final facial function after acoustic neuroma surgery?
The preoperative appearance of facial muscles provides valuable insight into the physiology of the facial nerve in the presence of vestibular schwannomas. Patients with pre-operative facial muscle symmetry have significantly better facial function than those with atrophy.
Our results suggest that miR-17-92 promotes neuronal differentiation of grafted NSCs under neuroinflammatory condition via inhibition of multiple proteins in JAK-STAT pathway.
