Administration of radiation directly to the tumor may extend to the neighboring healthy tissues, which may induce acute to persistent oxidative stress, lessening neurogenesis, neuroinflammation, as well as vascular alterations, leading to neurocognitive sequelae as a result of decline in neuronal structural complexity as well as synaptic connections. Almost all the medications indicated in the treatment of irradiation-triggered brain injury work via signaling pathways that are associated with lessening chronic oxidative stress, which is considered a consequence of the inflammatory response, reduction of edema, as well as microglia activation. Some agents have both preventative as well as therapeutic potential via the amalgamation of both neuroprotective and therapeutic mechanisms above. Thus, in this review, agents such as baicalein, troxerutin, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, melatonin, valproic acid, lithium, neurosteroid progesterone as well as minocycline have been implicated as neuroprotective agents for irradiation-induced neurological deficits. Also, agents such as glucocorticoids, methylphenidate, vitamin E, bisdemethoxycurcumin, phosphodiesterases, edaravone, pioglitazone and fenofibrate, glutamate antagonists, human urinary kallidinogenase, bevacizumab, as well as hyperbaric oxygen have been implicated as therapeutic agents for irradiation-induced neurological deficits. Furthermore, agents such as angiotensin-converting enzyme, 3-N-butyl-phthalide, stem cell therapy, sphingosine-1-phosphate, gangliosides, and neurotrophins have been implicated as combined potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents for irradiation-induced neurological deficits. The aim of this review is to elucidate the potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents above and their mechanisms for irradiation-induced neurological deficits after brain irradiation.</p>","PeriodicalId":94030,"journal":{"name":"Ibrain","volume":"12 1","pages":"96-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ibra.70011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147566047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to develop and validate a predictive model for DS risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in community health settings, incorporating a visual function index (VF14). We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 542 T2DM patients from four community health centers in Guiyang. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions identified significant predictors, while 10 machine learning algorithms were employed to construct the predictive model. Model performance was assessed using such metrics as receiver operating characteristic curves, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, Brier score, C-index, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis evaluated the score-dependent risk profiles between the VF14 and DS. Key predictors included body mass index (BMI), self-reported glycemic status, age-related macular degeneration, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and VF14. Among the models, the gradient boosting machine exhibited the robust predictive performance, with an area under the curve of 0.73 and sensitivity of 0.72. The Shapley additive explanations analysis identified VF14, BMI, and HbA1c as the top risk factors. RCS analysis revealed a score-dependent risk profile between VF14 and DS risk.
