Article Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the most common causes of death and disability worldwide. Despite its prevalence, knowledge about pathophysiology and diagnostic methods remains limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are released from cellular membranes constitutively, as well as after activation or damage, may contain various intracellular particles, including microRNAs (miRNAs/miR). miRNAs acting as mRNA transcription regulators are secreted in EVs and may be internalized by other cells. This cellular cross-talk is important for the regeneration of the nervous tissue after ischemic injury. Moreover, miRNAs related to stroke pathophysiology were shown to be differentially expressed after an IS episode. miRNAs associated with various types of stem cell-derived EVs were shown to be involved in post-ischemic neuroprotection and tissue regeneration and may be potential therapeutic agents. Therefore, considering their stability in plasma, they are worth investigating also as potential diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers. The present review summarizes the current knowledge about EV-derived miRNAs in the neuronal injury mechanism and their potential in neuroprotection in IS, and discusses the possibilities of further investigation of their use in preclinical research.

Effect of inpatient rehabilitation on self-care and functional activities in acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent thrombectomy.

Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institute and Department of Neurology, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, USA.
Background: The benefits of rehabilitation in acute ischemic stroke patients following thrombectomy remain underexplored. We assessed which activities of daily living (ADLs) show the greatest improvement after goal-directed therapy in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed pre- and post-rehabilitation functional assessments in 40 acute ischemic stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
Statins in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Precision Strategies for Neurovascular and Cognitive Protection.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Background: Pediatric acute ischemic stroke is a rare yet severe condition with multifactorial etiology, often associated with vasculopathies. Endovascular intervention in children with focal cerebral arteriopathy is seldom reported.
Purpose: Our aim was to report feasibility of intracranial rescue stenting for the management of pediatric focal cerebral arteriopathy with flow-limiting stenosis.
Electroacupuncture promotes myelin repair in the corpus callosum region of cerebral ischemic rats by modulating microglia activation and polarization.

Background: Ischemic stroke can damage the cerebral white matter, resulting in myelin loss and neurological deficits. Moreover, microglial activation plays an important role in ischemic stroke; therefore, inhibiting microglial activation has become an effective therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on microglial activation and polarization, and the role of oligodendrocyte genesis in myelin reformation after ischemic stroke.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of combining the Padua score with D-dimer levels for identifying lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 632 AIS patients who received alteplase treatment at our hospital between September 2019 and October 2023. After applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 172 patients were included in the analysis: 35 patients in the DVT group and 137 patients in the non-DVT group.
