Article Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal and spatial relationship between phospho-Rb (ser 795) and neuronal apoptotic death in rats subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia. We found increased phosphorylation of Rb and translocation from neuronal nucleus to cytoplasm in the penumbra zone at 12 h, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion, compared with sham-operated controls. At 12 h and 1 day, phospho-Rb appeared to be colocalizated with TUNEL staining in neurons, but staining was not colocalizated at 3 days and 7 days. These results demonstrated that cytoplasmic translocation of phospho-Rb from nucleus of neurons occurs in potential apoptotic neurons in the early stages of ischemia/reperfusion, suggesting that the Rb pathway may only be involved in early neuronal apoptosis and may be not an apoptotic signal in the late stages of transient cerebral ischemia.

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a recommended treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of vascular risk factors on the outcome of MT outcomes in patients with stroke with LVO and to determine the prevalence of structural epilepsy in these patients. This was a retrospective cohort study involving patients with stroke between 20 and 80 years of age with LVO who underwent MT.

Introduction: 5-Hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) is a furan compound with a molecular formula of CHO. Studies have found that 5-HMF has many pharmacological effects, such as improving hemorheology, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity and anti-myocardial ischemia. Identifying the preventive effect of 5-HMF against ischemic stroke and its possible mechanism was the aim of this investigation.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by abnormal megakaryocyte proliferation and a markedly elevated platelet count, which predisposes patients to thrombotic or hemorrhagic events. Approximately 50%-60% of ET patients harbor a JAK2 V617F mutation. This mutation drives constitutive JAK kinase activation, promoting megakaryocyte proliferation and platelet production, while potentially activating inflammatory pathways and damaging vascular endothelium.

Background: In recent years, as new strategies have been developed, there has been a reduction of invasive interventions for prevention or treatment of ischaemic cerebral events. Furthermore, surgical treatment has been centralized to major vascular centra.

Aim: This study analyzed registered malpractice claims to the insurance during two decades.

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) causes an adaptive redistribution of the cardiac output towards sustained cerebral vasodilation. However, the consequences of FGR and cerebral vasodilatation due to fetal hypoxia on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are still poorly studied. This study assesses BBB permeability in the neonatal cortex of pups gestated under intrauterine hypobaric hypoxia.
