A 55-year-old woman presented with transient cortical blindness and multiple cognitive impairments as initial symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. Her past history was negative for chronic liver disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Neurologic examinations showed bilateral visual loss with a normal pupillary reflex to light and neuropsychological test showed significant impairments in all cognitive domains. Laboratory tests revealed increased liver enzymes, ammonia level, and positive IgG HbcAb. Ultrsonography of the liver showed findings consistent with liver cirrhosis with splenomegaly. The visual evoked potential study resulted in no wave formation on both sides. T1-weighted brain MRI showed high signal intensity lesions in both globus pallidus and cerebral peduncles of the midbrain. After treatment with lactulose, cortical blindness and cognitive dysfunctions disappeared within several days. In rare cases of hepatic encephalopathy, cortical blindness with cognitive impairments may occur before alteration of consciousness and usually recovers following treatment of the hepatic encephalopathy.

Background: As a process of aging, skeletal muscle mass and function gradually decrease. It is reported that ginsenoside Rb1 and Rb2 play a role as AMP-activated protein kinase activator, resulting in regulating glucose homeostasis, and Rb1 reduces oxidative stress in aged skeletal muscles through activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt/Nrf2 pathway. We examined the effects of Rb1 and Rb2 on differentiation of the muscle stem cells and myotube formation. Methods: C2C12 myoblasts treated with Rb1 and/or Rb2 were differentiated and induced to myotube formation, followed by immunoblotting for myogenic marker proteins, such as myosin heavy chain, MyoD, and myogenin, or immunostaining for myosin heavy chain or immunoprecipitation analysis for heterodimerization of MyoD/E-proteins. Results: Rb1 and Rb2 enhanced myoblast differentiation through accelerating MyoD/E-protein heterodimerization and increased myotube hypertrophy, accompanied by activation of Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling. In addition, Rb1 and Rb2 induced the MyoD-mediated transdifferentiation of the rhabdomyosarcoma cells into myoblasts. Furthermore, co-treatment with Rb1 and Rb2 had synergistically enhanced myoblast differentiation through Akt activation. Conclusion: Rb1 and Rb2 upregulate myotube growth and myogenic differentiation through activating Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin signaling and inducing myogenic conversion of fibroblasts. Thus, our first finding indicates that Rb1 and Rb2 have strong potential as a helpful remedy to prevent and treat muscle atrophy, such as age-related muscular dystrophy.
