Delayed Administration of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor (AT2R) Agonist Compound 21 Prevents the Development of Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment in Diabetes Through the Modulation of Microglia Polarization
AbstractA disabling consequence of stroke is cognitive impairment, occurring in 12% –48% of patients, for which there is no therapy. A critical barrier is the lack of understanding of how post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) develops. While 70% of stroke victims present with comorbid diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, the limited use of comorbid disease models in prec linical research further contributes to this lack of progress. To this end, we used a translational model of diabetes to study the development of PSCI. In addition, we evaluated the application of compound 21 (C21), an angiotensin II Type 2 rece...

Deferoxamine Treatment Prevents Post-Stroke Vasoregression and Neurovascular Unit Remodeling Leading to Improved Functional Outcomes in Type 2 Male Diabetic Rats: Role of Endothelial Ferroptosis
This study aimed to determine the impact of iron chelation with deferoxamine (DFX) on (1) cerebral vascularization patterns and (2) functional outcomes after stroke in control and diabetic rats. After 8 weeks of type 2 diabetes induced by a combination of high-fat diet and low-dose streptozotocin, male control and diabetic animals were subjected to thromboembolic middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and randomized to vehicle, DFX, or tPA/DFX and followed for 14 days with behavioral tests. Vas cular indices (vascular volume and surface area), neurovascular remodeling (AQP4 polarity), and microglia activation were meas...

Results of a Pilot Trial of a Lifestyle Intervention for Stroke Survivors: Healthy Eating and Lifestyle after Stroke
Although healthy lifestyle practices mitigate recurrent stroke risk and mortality, few stroke survivors adhere to them, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. We developed and pilot tested a occupational therapy-based lifestyle management intervention, Healthy Eating And Lifestyle after Stroke (HEALS), to improve stroke survivors ’ self-management skills relating to diet and physical activity and evaluated it in a diverse safety-net population.

Coffee Consumption and Stroke Risk: Evidence from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of more than 2.4 Million Men and Women
Stroke remains the leading cause of disability and mortality globally. Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016, it was estimated that there were 13.7 million new stroke cases, 5.5 million deaths, 80.1 million prevalent cases, and 116.4 million disability-adjusted life-years.1 About 75% of stroke cases are ischemic, whereas the remaining cases are hemorrhagic.2 Stroke incidence increases with age. Well-known risk factors for stroke include personal history of hypertension, diabetes and cardiac diseases, unhealthy behavioral factors (heavy cigarette consumption, less physical inactivity, poor diet), and serious environmental risks.

Maternal n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Enriched Diet Commands Fatty Acid Composition in Postnatal Brain and Protects from Neonatal Arterial Focal Stroke
In conclusion, maternal/postnatal n-3 enriched diet markedly rearranges neonatal brain lipid composition and modulates the response to ischemia. While standard diet is sufficient to maintain low levels of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines under physiological condition s, n-3 PUFA enriched diet, but not standard diet, attenuates increases of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in ischemic-reperfused regions and protects from neonatal stroke.Graphic Abstract

A Pilot Trial of a Lifestyle Intervention for Stroke Survivors: Design of Healthy Eating and Lifestyle after Stroke (HEALS)
Stroke survivors have high rates of subsequent cardiovascular and recurrent cerebrovascular events, and mortality. While healthy lifestyle practices - including a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, limited alcohol intake, and regular physical activity - can mitigate these outcomes, few stroke survivors adhere to them. Minorities from socioeconomically disadvantaged communities who obtain care in safety-net health systems experience the most barriers to implementing healthy lifestyle changes after stroke.

Modifiable Factors Associated with Non-Adherence to Secondary Ischaemic Stroke Prevention Strategies
Eighty percent of stroke is due to five modifiable factors: hypertension, smoking, abdominal obesity, unhealthy diet, and lack of exercise.1 Risk factors for first-time and recurrent ischaemic stroke are similar.2 The absolute risk of a recurrent ischaemic stroke following an initial ischaemic stroke is 29.7% by five years.3 Recurrent strokes are associated with greater disability and mortality than first-time strokes.4 Secondary prevention strategies are key in reducing recurrent ischaemic events.

Plasma Kallikrein Contributes to Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Hypertension in Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
This report investigates the role of PKa on hemorrhage and hypertension in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). SHRSP were fed with a high salt –containing stroke-prone diet to increase blood pressure and induce intracerebral hemorrhage. The roles of PKa on blood pressure, hemorrhage, and survival in SHRSP were examined in rats receiving a PKa inhibitor or plasma prekallikrein antisense oligonucleotide (PK ASO) compared with rats receivin g control ASO. Effects on PKa on the proteolytic cleavage of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. We show that SHRSP on high-salt...

Early Motor-Behavioral Outcome of Ischemic Stroke with Ketogenic Diet Preconditioning: Interventional Animal Study
Background: Cerebral stroke, with ischemic stroke being its most common type, is the leading cause of chronic disability. The ketogenic diet has been used for treating seizures for centuries and has been considered to be a treatment for other neurologic diseases in recent years. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of ketogenic diet preconditioning on the early motor-behavior outcome of rats with induced cerebral ischemic stroke. Methods: Twenty-four rats were surveyed in 3 groups of Main, Control, and Sham.

The 2-Minute Spontaneous Swallowing Screening Predicts Independence on Enteral Feeding in Patients with Acute Stroke
It is recommended that enteral feeding should be offered to patients with dysphagia estimated to be unable to take adequate diet orally within 7 days of admission after acute stroke, but there is no clear criterion for initiation of enteral feeding. Recent studies have reported that the frequency of spontaneous swallowing is useful in screening for dysphagia in acute stroke. The present study was aimed to investigate whether measurement of frequency of spontaneous swallowing for 2 minutes could predict independence on enteral feeding 1 week after admission in patients with acute stroke.

Antioxidative effects of a novel dietary supplement Neumentix in a mouse stroke model
Stroke is the leading cause of disability and death worldwide,1 but current available therapies are limited.2 Oxidative stress is the major component of the stroke cascade, especially in the acute phase of an ischemic stroke.3,4 During brain ischemia and reperfusion, reactive oxygen species (ROS), also referred to as oxygen free radicals, are overproduced, while the endogenous antioxidative defense systems are disrupted.5 ROS generates toxic aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE),6 glycated protein N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML),7 and oxidized DNA 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG).

Impact of oral function on regaining oral intake and adjusting diet forms for acute stroke patients
Outcome prediction for dysphagia recovery is essential for rehabilitation treatment planning. Several studies have reported various predictors for resuming oral feeding after post-stroke dysphagia. However, evidence on oral health and function, a crucial part of feeding, has rarely been reported. Therefore, the goal of this study was to identify the oral status-related factors that could predict oral intake resumption in acute stroke patients.
