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 ...

Stroke-Like Presentation of Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration: a Single-Center Experience and Review of the Literature
We report herein incidence and clinical features of hyperacute onset PCD, a vertebrobasilar stroke mimic. We performed a retrospective analysis of all suspected PCD cases referred to the Udine University Hospital between 2009 and 2017. Our center provides the only neuroimmunology laboratory for three provinces of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, Italy (983,190 people as of January 1, 2017). Inclusion criteria were (1) abrupt onset of neurological symptoms; (2) initial consideration of a vascular etiology; (3) final diagnosis of “definite PCD.” We also carried out a systematic review of the literature in order to ident...

Is Selenium Supplementation Beneficial in Acute Ischemic Stroke?
This study proposed to investigate the effect of intravenous Se (Selenase) administration in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) on neurological outcomes, antioxidant enzyme activity, and inflammatory marker levels. Methods: AIS patients (n=50) were recruited from a neurology unit of a university-affiliated hospital. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either Selenase or placebo (saline) for 5 days. The modified ranking scale, the national institute of health stroke scale, and the mini-mental state examination, as primary outcomes, and the serum GPx concentration, total antioxidant activity, and tumor n...

Phoenixin-20 ameliorates brain infarction by promoting microglia M2 polarization in an ischemic stroke model
In this study, we found that administration of Phoenixin-20 in ischemic stroke middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice significantly reduced the brain infarction area but improved the neurological deficit score. Gene expression analysis showed Phoenixin-20 treatment inhibited pro-inflammatory M1 phase microglial markers: a cluster of differentiation molecule 11b (CD11b), cluster of differentiation molecule 86 (CD86), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and increased anti-inflammatory M2 phase markers (found in Inflammatory Zone 1 (FIZZ1), Arginase 1 (Arg...

α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist improved brain injury and impaired glucose metabolism in a rat model of ischemic stroke
AbstractVagus nerve stimulation through the action of acetylcholine can modulate inflammatory responses and metabolism. α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (α7nAChR) is a key component in the biological functions of acetylcholine. To further explore the health benefits of vagus nerve stimulation, this study aimed to investigate whether α7nAChR agonists offer beneficial effects against poststroke inflammatory and m etabolic changes and to identify the underlying mechanisms in a rat model of stroke established by permanent cerebral ischemia. We found evidence showing that pretreatment with α7nAChR agonist, GTS-21, improv...

CXCR4 Antagonist AMD3100 Protects Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity and Reduces Inflammatory Response After Focal Ischemia in Mice Original Contributions
Conclusions— CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 significantly suppressed inflammatory response and reduced blood–brain barrier disruption after MCAO. AMD3100 attenuated ischemia-induced acute inflammation by suppressing leukocyte migration and infiltration, in addition to reducing proinflammatory cytokine expression in the ischemic region.

Do severe headaches portend greater stroke risk following CRT for childhood brain tumor?
Children with brain tumors are more likely to survive, with survival rates improving consistently over several decades and well over 70% of patients now surviving 5 years from diagnosis.1 The vast majority of these children will become long-term survivors. As cure rates improve, a greater focus has been placed on enduring patient health after cancer treatment.

Successful Intra-arterial Thrombolysis in a Patient with an Intracranial Meningioma
We report a case of a 78-year-old man who was seen in our emergency department within 2 hours from sudden onset of aphasia, right-sided hemiplegia, hypoesthesia, and homonymous hemianopsia. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission was 20. Intra-arterial thrombolysis was performed with administration of .3 mg/kg of alteplase combined with mechanical thrombectomy. At discharge, his NIHSS score was 1, and after 90 days, his modified Rankin score was 1. To our knowledge, this is the first report of intra-arterial thrombolysis in a patient with acute ischemic stroke with an intracranial tumor.

Poor short-term outcome in patients with ischaemic stroke and active cancer
Abstract Stroke risk is increased in cancer patients and cancer activity has been claimed to play a role in the development of ischaemic stroke (IS). We wanted to further test these assumptions and to explore the impact of such relation on short-term prognosis. We identified all IS patients that were admitted to the neurological department of our primary and tertiary care university hospital between 2008 and 2014 (n = 4918) and reviewed their medical records for an additional diagnosis of cancer. Cancer patients were categorized into those with “active cancer” (AC: recurrent malignant tumour, metastases, ong...
