Background And Purpose: Symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) markedly increases the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke, with high restenosis rates after endovascular therapy. This study aims to identify factors influencing restenosis within 1 year after endovascular therapy for ICAS, with the goal of reducing restenosis rates through interventions targeting protective and risk factors.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of symptomatic patients with ICAS who underwent endovascular therapy between January 2016 and June 2023 at our hospital.
Background: Pramipexole is thought to exert antidepressant effects in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and depression, but its efficacy compared with typical antidepressants is unclear. This meta-analysis aims to directly compare the safety and efficacy of pramipexole and antidepressants for depression in PD patients.
Methods: Twelve electronic databases including Cochrane, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ProQuest, Open Grey, CBM, The CNKI, Wan Fang Data and VIP, and two clinical trial registry websites were systematically searched up to December 30, 2024.
Purpose: This study aimed to present clinical and immunological features in patients with neuroimmune complications of COVID-19 during Omicron wave in China.
Methods: Patients with neuroimmune complications associated with COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed in Huashan Hospital from December 2022 to April 2023, during the widespread prevalence of Omicron variants in China. Demographic information, symptoms, electrophysiological findings, cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) test results and immunological markers, Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) characteristics, treatment strategies and outcomes of these patients were reviewed and analyzed.
Rationale And Objectives: The correlation between collateral circulation and futile recanalization (FR) is still controversial, and few studies have explored the influence of comprehensive cerebral collateral circulation on FR after endovascular stroke treatment. Therefore, based on cerebral collateral recycle (CCR) status, we aimed to establish an effective scoring system to identify the probability of FR.
Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Various risk scoring models have been developed to predict stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). We aim to determine whether these risk models could effectively predict SAP in Chinese patients with ischaemic stroke (IS).
Methods: Consecutive patients with IS in West China hospital between January 2011 and September 2013 were included to assess the predictive performance of risk scoring models, including Chumbler's score, ADS and AISAPS.

Objective: To test the hypotheses that vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH) is associated with an increased risk of ipsilateral spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (sVAD) and that hypoplastic vertebral arteries (VAs) are more prone than dominant VAs to dissection.
Methods: In this case-control study, the population comprised 112 patients with sVAD and 224 age- and sex-matched controls treated at a high-volume center between 2005 and 2013. VAH and sVAD were diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography combined with noninvasive imaging findings.
