Combining Human Umbilical Cord Blood Cells With Erythropoietin Enhances Angiogenesis/Neurogenesis and Behavioral Recovery After Stroke
In conclusion, our results suggest that hUCBC infusion in combination with EPO administration demonstrates therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of stroke-induced injury by promoting neurogenesis and angiogenesis. Further research that delineates the therapeutic mechanism of systemically administered hUCBC and EPO is required. Ethics Statement All experimental procedures involving animals were performed in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals as adopted and promulgated by the U. S. National Institutes of Health and were approved by CHA University Institutional Animal Care & Use Com...

Targets of vascular protection in acute ischemic stroke differ in type 2 diabetes
The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of acute manipulation of potential targets for vascular protection [i.e., NF-B, peroxynitrite, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)] on vascular injury and functional outcome in a diabetic model of cerebral ischemia. Ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion in control and type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats. Treatment groups received a single dose of the peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)prophyrinato iron (III), the nonspecific NF-B inhibitor curcumin, or the broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor minocycline at re...

Targets of Vascular Protection in Acute Ischemic Stroke Differ in Type 2 Diabetes.
The objective of the current study was to determine the effects of acute manipulation of potential targets for vascular protection (i.e., NFkB, peroxynitrite, and matrix metalloproteinases) on vascular injury and functional outcome in a diabetic model of cerebral ischemia. Ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion in control and type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats. Treatment groups received a single dose of peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst FeTPPs,a non-specific NFkB inhibitor curcumin, or a broad-spectrum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor minocycline at reperfusion. Post-stroke infarct volume, edem...
