Hypertension: Folic acid reduces stroke risk
Nature Reviews Cardiology 12, 257 (2015). doi:10.1038/nrcardio.2015.45 Author: João H. Duarte Several randomized trials have shown no beneficial effect of folic acid in preventing cardiovascular disease, but some reports have suggested that folic acid supplementation might decrease the incidence of stroke. In a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the

H‐type hypertension, stroke and diabetes in China: Opportunities for primary prevention
Abstract In summary, the CSPPT, with its large sample size and unique study design has provided a definitive answer regarding the role of folic acid supplementation in conjunction with anti‐hypertension therapy in the primary prevention of stroke. Further studies are needed to examine the joint effect of anti‐hypertensive treatment and folic acid supplementation on the development or progression of T2DM as well as vascular complications, particularly in populations without folic acid fortification. If these relationships can be established and underlying mechanisms elucidated, the implications for clinical and public h...

Efficacy of folic acid in primary prevention of stroke among patients with hypertension in China
After folic acid had been documented to reduce birth defects, the United States mandated folic acid food fortification in grain products in 1996 and implemented the policy by 1998.1 Around this time, controversy surfaced on adverse effects of folic acid, namely its possible role in promoting carcinogenesis. However, data over the next decade failed to provide sufficient evidence to support such a claim.1,2 In addition to decreasing neural tube defects, folic acid supplementation has been hypothesized to decrease the risk of stroke and cardiovascular events; however, among the multiple randomized controlled studies thus far...

H‐Type hypertension, stroke and diabetes in China: Opportunities for primary prevention / H型高血压,脑卒中和糖尿病:中国人群一级预防的机遇
1969年,McCully 首次发现同型半胱氨酸水平即使轻度升高也可加速动脉粥样硬化的发展,由此提出“同型半胱氨酸‐动脉粥样硬化学说”1。接下来的一些前瞻性队列研究提出,同型半胱氨酸水平每降低3 µmol/L可以使脑卒中风险下降24%2。然而,考察降低同型半胱氨酸治疗对脑卒中影响的一些随机、对照临床研究并未观察到明确的结果3。需要注意的是,流行病学研究与临床试验存在诸多重要的不同之处。一般队列研究多关注相对健康人群,而大多数临床研究入组的则是患有心脑血管疾病...

Folic acid therapy reduces serum uric acid in hypertensive patients: a substudy of the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT).
CONCLUSIONS: Enalapril-folic acid therapy, compared with enalapril alone, can significantly reduce the magnitude of the increase of UA concentrations in hypertensive adults. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00794885. PMID: 28148501 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Case report: Young-onset large vessel ischemic stroke due to hyperhomocysteinemia associated with the C677T polymorphism on 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and multi-vitamin deficiency
Hyperhomocysteinemia is an important risk factor for cerebral infarction. Herein, we report on a 30-year-old man previously diagnosed with epilepsy who presented with right hemiplegia and total aphasia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a fronto-temporal ischemic lesion due to occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Clinical testing and imaging demonstrated that he had hyperhomocysteinemia induced by multiple factors including the C677T polymorphism on 5.10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and multiple vitamin deficiencies. The C677T polymorphism on MTHFR is closely related to hyperhomocysteinemia and fol...

A Case of Transient Global Amnesia: A Review and How It May Shed Further Insight into the Neurobiology of Delusions
Conclusion In closing, our patient’s episode of TGA combined with her emotional and perceptual response lends credence to the proposal of a “fear/paranoia” circuit in the genesis of paranoid delusions—a circuit incorporating amygdala, frontal, and parietal cortices. Here, neutral or irrelevant stimuli, thoughts, and percepts come to engender fear and anxiety, while dysfunction in frontoparietal circuitry engenders inappropriate social predictions and maladaptive inferences about the intentions of others.[54] Hippocampus relays information about contextual information based on past experiences and the current situat...
