“…Preoperative head shaving improves the visibility of the incision line and reduces postoperative surgical site infections. However, many recent studies have reported that shaving the head can change the normal flora around the surgical area and usually results in minor trauma to the scalp, and both of which increase the risk of neurosurgical infection [ 14 – 25 ].…”

Background Nosocomial infections caused by Serratia marcescens mostly occurred in pediatrics and it was very rarely reported after adult surgery. Here, an intracranial abscess caused by Serratia marcescens was reported. Case summary We report a rare case of a postoperative intracranial abscess caused by Serratia marcescens in a 63-year-old male patient with a left parietal mass. The patient underwent resection of the mass on June 1, 2022, and the postoperative pathology revealed an angiomatous meningioma, WHO I. He then experienced recurrent worsening of right limb movements, and repeated cranial CT scans showed oozing blood and obvious low-density shadows around the operation area. Delayed wound healing was considered. Subsequently, a large amount of pus was extracted from the wound. The etiological test showed that Serratia marcescens infection occurred before the removal of the artificial titanium mesh. Antibiotics were initiated based on the results of drug susceptibility tests. At present, the patient is recovering well and is still closely monitored during follow-up. Conclusion It is rare for Serratia marcescens to cause brain abscesses without any obvious signs of infection. This report provided in detail our experience of a warning postoperative asymptomatic brain abscess caused by an uncommon pathogen.

“…There are many studies on the risk factors for intracranial infection, including age, sex, duration of surgery, emergency procedures, disease type, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, surgical approach, postoperative temperature, artificial implants and leukocyte level[ 1 , 2 ]. However, there is no unified conclusion on whether these risk factors have an effect on the incidence of postoperative intracranial reinfection, and the value of many risk factors is still unknown[ 3 , 4 ]. In this study, 94 patients with neurosurgical diseases who underwent elective surgery at the First Hospital of Jilin University were enrolled to explore the possible risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative intracranial reinfection.…”

β cells are the main cells responsible for the hypoglycemic function of pancreatic islets, and the insulin secreted by these cells is the only hormone that lowers blood glucose levels in the human body. β cells are regulated by various factors, among which neurotransmitters make an important contribution. This paper discusses the effects of neurotransmitters secreted by various sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves on β cells and summarizes the mechanisms by which various neurotransmitters regulate insulin secretion. Many neurotransmitters do not have a single source and are not only released from nerve terminals but also synthesized by β cells themselves, allowing them to synergistically regulate insulin secretion. Almost all of these neurotransmitters depend on the presence of glucose to function, and their actions are mostly related to the Ca2+ and cAMP concentrations. Although neurotransmitters have been extensively studied, many of their mechanisms remain unclear and require further exploration by researchers.
