Edaravone Dexborneol Alleviates Neuroinflammation by Reducing Neuroglial Cell Proliferation and Suppresses Neuronal Apoptosis/Autophagy in Vascular Dementia Rats
In this study, we established the VD model of rats by bilateral carotid artery occlusion to explore the neuroprotective effect of EDB and its mechanism. Morris Water Maze test was applied to assess the cognitive function of rats. H&E and TUNEL staining were applied to observe the cellular structure of the hippocampus. Immunofluorescence labeling was used to observe the proliferation of astrocytes and microglia. ELISA was applied to examine the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, and RT-PCR was applied to examine their mRNA expression levels. Western blotting was applied to examine apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2,...

Subclinical Vascular Composites Predict Clinical Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, and Dementia: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical vascular composites of arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis may be useful biomarkers to inform the vascular pathways contributing to events of CVD, CHD, stroke, and dementia.PMID:37205504 | PMC:PMC10187443 | DOI:10.1101/2023.05.01.23289364

Recurrent Transient Ischemic Attack Induces Neural Cytoskeleton Modification and Gliosis in an Experimental Model
Transl Stroke Res. 2022 Jul 22. doi: 10.1007/s12975-022-01068-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTransient ischemic attack (TIA) presents a high risk for subsequent stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and related dementia (ADRD). However, the neuropathophysiology of TIA has been rarely studied. By evaluating recurrent TIA-induced neuropathological changes, our study aimed to explore the potential mechanisms underlying the contribution of TIA to ADRD. In the current study, we established a recurrent TIA model by three times 10-min middle cerebral artery occlusion within a week in rat. Neither permanent neurological deficit nor ...

What the Science Says About the Health Benefits of Vitamins and Supplements
From multivitamins and melatonin to fiber and fish oil, Americans who are trying to boost their health and immunity have a plethora of supplements to choose from. An estimated 58% of U.S. adults ages 20 and over take dietary supplements, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the supplement industry is valued at more than $30 billion a year. Supplement use has been growing rapidly over the past few decades along with the wellness industry. “The popular belief is that a supplement is going to be helpful for promoting health,” says Fang Fang Zhang, a professor at Tufts University&rs...

The New Era of Retinal Imaging in Hypertensive Patients
Structural and functional alterations in the microcirculation by systemic hypertension can cause significant organ damage at the eye, heart, brain, and kidneys. As the retina is the only tissue in the body that allows direct imaging of small vessels, the relationship of hypertensive retinopathy signs with development of disease states in other organs have been extensively studied; large-scale epidemiological studies using fundus photography and advanced semi-automated analysis software have reported the association of retinopathy signs with hypertensive end-organ damage includes the following: stroke, dementia, and coronar...

Hypertension Management in Primary Care in the Capital Area of Iceland
CONCLUSION: As has recently been shown in epidemiologic studies hypertension in Iceland is both underdiagnosed and undertreated although the country ranks high on both counts in international comparison. Furthermore, the fact that under half of hypertensive patients in general practice in the capital area reach the targeted treatment goals, cannot be considered an acceptable. Thus, it is of immense importance to improve both the diagnosis and the treatment of HT.PMID:35103619 | DOI:10.17992/lbl.2022.02.675

Association of vitamin D metabolites with cognitive function and brain atrophy in elderly individuals - the Austrian stroke prevention study
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D deficient individuals appear to have a modest reduction of memory function without structural brain atrophy. Future studies should explore if vitamin D supplementation can improve cognitive function.PMID:33825696 | DOI:10.18632/aging.202930

Calcium/Calmodulin –Dependent Protein Kinase II in Cerebrovascular Diseases
AbstractCerebrovascular disease is the most common life-threatening and debilitating condition that often leads to stroke. The multifunctional calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a key Ca2+ sensor and an important signaling protein in a variety of biological systems within the brain, heart, and vasculature. In the brain, past stroke-related studies have been mainly focused on the role of CaMKII in ischemic stroke in neurons and established CaMKII as a major mediator of neuronal cell death induced by glutamate excitotoxicity and oxidative stress following ischemic stroke. However, with growing underst...
