TLDR
The frequency of CNS anomalies, similar to the frequency of retinal anomalies in IP patients, concurrent with their severity, supports their recognition in the list of IP minor criteria.
Abstract
The objective of this study was to present a systematic review of the central nervous system (CNS) types of anomalies and to consider the possibility to include CNS anomalies in Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) criteria. The analyzed literature data from 1,393 IP cases were from the period 1993–2012. CNS anomalies were diagnosed for 30.44% of the investigated IP patients. The total number of CNS types of anomalies per patient was 1.62. In the present study there was no significantly higher number of anomalies per patient in females than males. The most frequent CNS types of anomalies were seizures, motor impairment, mental retardation, and microcephaly. The most frequently registered CNS lesions found using brain imaging methods were brain infarcts or necrosis, brain atrophies, and corpus callosum lesions. IKBKG exon 4–10 deletion was present in 86.00% of genetically confirmed IP patients. The frequency of CNS anomalies, similar to the frequency of retinal anomalies in IP patients, concurrent with their severity, supports their recognition in the list of IP minor criteria.

Incontinentia pigmenti diagnostic criteria update

TL;DR: In the diagnosis of IP, the presence of IKBKG mutation typical for IP, and existence of family relatives with diagnosed IP are taken into account and proposed as major criteria one of the stages of IP skin lesions.

Classification of cell death: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death

TL;DR: This study details the 2009 recommendations of the NCCD on the use of cell death-related terminology including ‘entosis’, ‘mitotic catastrophe”,’ ‘necrosis‚ ‘necroptosis‚’ and ‘pyroptotic’.

Molecular definitions of cell death subroutines: recommendations of the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death 2012

TL;DR: A functional classification of cell death subroutines is proposed that applies to both in vitro and in vivo settings and includes extrinsic apoptosis, caspase-dependent or -independent intrinsic programmed cell death, regulated necrosis, autophagic cell death and mitotic catastrophe.

NF-κB in neuronal plasticity and neurodegenerative disorders

TL;DR: Based on work in animal models, it appears that manipulation of NF-κB signaling may prove valuable in treating such conditions as ischemic stroke, physical trauma to the brain or spinal cord, and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Human eotaxin is a specific chemoattractant for eosinophil cells and provides a new mechanism to explain tissue eosinophilia.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human eotaxin is an early response gene of cytokine–stimulated epithelial and endothelial cells, and is induced in peripheral blood eosinophils by interleukin–3, and an eOTaxin antagonist may be a novel therapy for certain human diseases characterized by tissue eOSinophilia.
