Article Abstract

Objective: The study aimed to explore risk factors for cerebral infarction after microsurgical clipping in patients with Hunt-Hess grade 0-2 single intracranial aneurysms.

Methods: A total of 137 patients with Hunt-Hess grade 0-2 single intracranial aneurysms treated with microsurgical clipping between March 2017 and December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups on the basis of the occurrence of cerebral infarction after surgery.

Results: Of 137 enrolled patients, 14 (10.22%) showed cerebral infarction symptoms after surgery. Univariate analysis indicated that ruptured aneurysm status, aneurysm rupture during surgery, history of transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke, aneurysm size ≥7 mm, temporary clipping, intraoperative systolic hypotension (IOH), and occurrences of intraoperative motor-evoked potentials change were significantly related to postoperative cerebral infarction (PCI). However, using multivariate regression, only history of TIA/stroke (odds ratio = 0.124; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.021-0.748, P = 0.023) and IOH (odds ratio = 0.032; 95% CI = 0.005-0.210, P < 0.001) were independent predictors for PCI. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the critical duration of temporary clipping and IOH that minimized the risk of PCI was 5.5 minutes and 7.5 minutes, respectively.

Conclusions: Our study identified history of TIA/stroke and IOH as independent risk factors for cerebral infarction after microsurgical clipping.

Objective: To investigate the association between long-term glycemic control and cerebral infarction risk in patients with diabetes through a large-scale cohort study.

Methods: This prospective, community-based cohort study included 12,054 patients with diabetes. From 2006 to 2012, 38,272 fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurements were obtained from these participants.

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: 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.
