The role of ferroptosis as a regulator of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke
Cell death by ferroptosis results from disrupted iron metabolism, leading to redox-active Fenton reactions that generate lipid peroxidation. In ischemic stroke, where blood flow to the brain is limited, elevated iron absorption exacerbates oxidative stress, potentially inducing ferroptotic neuronal death. Studies demonstrate the involvement of ferroptosis in ischemic stroke, prompting exploration of ferroptosis-targeting therapies. Ferroptosis is a unique form of cell death that was first described in 2012 and plays a significant role in various diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions. It depends on a dysregulatio...

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Risk of Ischemic Stroke in REGARDS
We examined associations between lipidomic profiles and incident ischemic stroke in the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort. Plasma lipids (n = 195) were measured from baseline blood samples, and lipids were consolidated into underlying factors using exploratory factor analysis. Cox proportional hazards models were used to test associations between lipid factors and incident stroke, linear regressions to determine associations betwee n dietary intake and lipid factors, and the inverse odds ratio weighting (IORW) approach to test mediation. The study followed participants over a medi...

Joint effect of ischemic stroke and obesity on the risk of venous thromboembolism: the Troms ø Study
CONCLUSION: The combination of obesity and ischemic stroke did not yield an excess risk of VTE. Our findings suggest that obese subjects with ischemic stroke do not have a more than additive risk of VTE.PMID:38665865 | PMC:PMC11043863 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102392 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke of large-vessel occlusion beyond the time window based on imaging evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: The safety and effectiveness of EVT treatment for selected AIS-LVO patients with symptom onset of 24-72 h are not inferior to those treated within 6-24 h of onset, especially in a short term based on the pre-treatment advanced neuroimaging computed tomography perfusion even though further investigations are necessary to prove this finding.PMID:38665125 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241250081 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

The relationship between atherosclerosis and dementia
CONCLUSION: Cognitively impaired individuals, in particular those with vascular cognitive impairment, have poorer quality of life and shorter survival. Risk factors contributing to such impairment are similar to those for ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke. It may be concluded that most of the analysed risk factors play a role in the development of both atherosclerosis and dementia.PMID:38669152 | DOI:10.21101/cejph.a7848 (Source: Central European Journal of Public Health)

Involvement of P2X7R-mediated microglia polarization and neuroinflammation in the response to electroacupuncture on post-stroke memory impairment
CONCLUSION: EA ameliorates memory impairment in a rat model of ischemic stroke by reducing inflammation and ROS through the inhibition of P2X7R expression. In turn, this mechanism regulates Nrf2 and NLRP3 expression, suggesting EA is beneficial for ischemic stroke treatment using P2X7R as target.PMID:38670470 | DOI:10.1016/j.brainresbull.2024.110967 (Source: Cell Research)

STZ-induced diabetes exacerbates neurons ferroptosis after ischemic stroke by upregulating LCN2 in neutrophils
This study aimed to investigate the effect of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes on ferroptosis after stroke from the immune cell perspective, and to provide a theoretical foundation for the clinical management of ischemic stroke in patients with diabetes. The results revealed that STZ-induced diabetes not only facilitates the infiltration of neutrophils into the brain after stroke, but also upregulates the expression of lipocalin 2 (LCN2) in neutrophils. LCN2 promotes lipid peroxide accumulation by increasing intracellular ferrous ions, which intensify ferroptosis in major brain cell populations, especially neurons. Ou...
