Protective Effects of Spatholobi Caulis Extract on Neuronal Damage and Focal Ischemic Stroke/Reperfusion Injury
AbstractNeuronal apoptotic cell death plays an important role in many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer ’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ischemic stroke. Spatholobi Caulis (SC) has been widely used in traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, viral infection, and anemia. However, the protective effects of SC extract (SCE) against apoptotic cell death in the brain h ave not been reported. We investigated the protective effects of SCE against neuronal injury etoposide-induced neurotoxicity and in rats subjected to focal transient ischemic stroke middle cerebral artery occlusion ...

MicroRNA-15a/16-1 Antagomir Ameliorates Ischemic Brain Injury in Experimental Stroke Basic Sciences
Conclusions—Our data indicate that pharmacological inhibition of the miR-15a/16-1 cluster reduces ischemic brain injury via both upregulation of antiapoptotic proteins and suppression of proinflammatory molecules. These results suggest that the miR-15a/16-1 cluster is a novel therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.

TRAF6 participates in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats through inhibiting autophagy and promoting oxidative stress
This study was designed to explore changes of expression level and potential roles and mechanisms of TRAF6 in early brain injury (EBI) after SAH by using a Sprague–Dawley rat model of SAH induced in 0.3 ml non‐heparinized autologous arterial blood injected into the prechiasmatic cistern. First, compared with the sham group, we found that the expression levels of TRAF6 increased gradually and peaked at 24 h after SAH. Second, the results showed that application of TRAF6 overexpression plasmid and genetic silencing siRNA could increase or decrease expression of TRAF6, respectively, and severely exacerbate or relieve EBI ...

Characterization of Long-term Gait Deficits in Mouse dMCAO, Using the CatWalk System.
Abstract Evaluation of functional outcome is widely used across species to assess the recovery process following various pathological conditions, including spinal cord injury, musculo-skeletal injury, mithochondrial disease, neuropathic cancer, Huntington's disease, chronic pain, cortical lesion, and olivocerebellar degeneration among others. The Stroke Therapy Academic Industry Roundtable (STAIR) recommends multiple endpoints for behavioral studies in pre-clinical stroke research, to demonstrate their clinical relevance. One of the more challenging tasks in experimental stroke research is measuring long-term func...

Primary Angiitis of the Central Nervous System Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Adult primary angiitis of the central nervous system is a heterogenous disease, with multiterritorial, distal, and bilateral acute stroke being the most common pattern of parenchymal lesions found on magnetic resonance imaging. Our findings suggest a higher than previously thought prevalence of hemorrhagic transformation and other hemorrhagic manifestations.

Rates and Predictors of 1 year of Readmission with Seizures in Patients with Stroke and Stroke Subtypes: Analysis of a National Cohort of 557,033 Stroke Patients (P2.245)
Conclusions:Rate readmission of seizure after stroke within first year is low and there may be residual confounding by severity. Our findings do not support a need for routine prophylactic anti-epileptic drug use after stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Chaudhry has nothing to disclose. Dr. Chaudhry has nothing to disclose.

Stroke like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome a case series of three patients (P6.179)
Conclusions:Our patients represent the first case series of SMART syndrome in a single institution. Our cases share similarities to the prior reports in the literature and highlights the clinical and MRI triad of acute onset headaches, neurological deficits and MRI findings of transient contrast enhancement of the cortex with white matter sparing in a previous radiation field.Disclosure: Dr. rauf has nothing to disclose.

Risk factors for developing epilepsy in a U.S. commercially insured pediatric population (P4.328)
Conclusions:Epilepsy incidence was highest in the youngest ages. The most significant risk factors for newly diagnosed epilepsy were neonatal seizures, central nervous system infection, and childhood static encephalopathy, although most pediatric epilepsy patients no recorded putative risk factors.Study Supported by: Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Research Grant as a part of the Goizueta Foundation Project.Disclosure: Dr. Oh has nothing to disclose.

Aortic Valvular Papillary Fibroelastoma Leading to Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Pediatric Patient (P1.286)
Conclusions:Previously published cases of children with IS and PF have identified the mitral valve as the site of the PF. Our case demonstrates that aortic valvular PF can be associated with IS in pediatric patients. Resection of symptomatic PF is recommended to prevent further cardio-embolic strokes.Disclosure: Dr. Farooqui has nothing to disclose. Dr. Mannel has nothing to disclose.

Dynamic interaction between EEG and ICP: a pilot study based on wavelet coherence (P6.064)
Conclusions:Wavelet analysis used in this feasibility study is a promising method to study the dynamic interaction between ICP and EEG changes. Further prospective study focusing on specific population is needed to understand the significance of the coherence between ICP and EEG.

The Vertebral Body Infarct Sign: A Case of Thoracic Spinal Cord Ischemic Stroke (P3.292)
Conclusions:While the vertebral body infarct sign is often recognized by neuro-radiologists, it is still relatively unknown to practicing neurologists. Early recognition of spinal cord infarct allows for timely evaluation for precipitating factors and initiation of secondary preventative therapies to decrease risk of further vascular events.Disclosure: Dr. Chan has nothing to disclose.

Common etiologies of acute symptomatic seizures evolving from lateralized periodic discharges in patients monitored with continuous EEG (P2.233)
Conclusions:The most common high risk etiologies of acute symptomatic seizures evolving from lateralized periodic discharges in our cohort of patients were ischemic stroke, tumor, encephalitis, and subdural hematoma. Recognition of these etiologic factors may influence the duration of continuous EEG monitoring employed or the decision to institute seizure prophylaxis. A larger cohort of patients should be reviewed in a future study to confirm these findings.Disclosure: Dr. Mathew has nothing to disclose. Dr. Piran has nothing to disclose.
