Simvastatin Promotes Hematoma Absorption and Reduces Hydrocephalus Following Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Part by Upregulating CD36
AbstractWe previously found that hematoma worsens hydrocephalus after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) via increasing iron deposition and aggravating ependymal cilia injury; therefore, promoting hematoma absorption may be a promising strategy for IVH. Recently, some investigations imply that simvastatin has the ability of accelerating hematoma absorption. Thus, this study was designed to examine the efficacy of simvastatin for IVH in rats. Intracerebral hemorrhage with ventricular extension was induced in adult male Sprague –Dawley rats after autologous blood injection. Simvastatin or vehicle was administered orally at ...

Associations Between Drug Treatments and the Risk of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
AbstractThere is increasing interest in drug therapy for preventing aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the association between drug use and the risk of aSAH. We searched PubMed and Scopus from the databases ’ inception until December 2021. Observational studies reporting the association between any drug therapy and aSAH were included. The odds ratios (ORs) for each drug used in aSAH were meta-analyzed with a random-effect model. According to the systematic review, 25 observational studies were eligib le for the present study. Four therapeutic purpose-based classes (e.g., lipid...
