Effect of acupuncture treatment on post-stroke cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial
Introduction:
Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), which has a high morbidity, is closely associated with the recurrence and rehabilitation of ischemic stroke. There are 2 different stages of PSCI, including post-stroke cognitive impairment with no dementia (PSCIND) and post-stroke dementia (PSD). The latter has a significantly higher mortality rate than the previous one. Therefore, preventing the onset of PSD is of vital importance. However, there is no unequivocally effective prevention or treatment for PSCI, except intensive secondary prevention of stroke. The primary aim of this protocol is to explore whether a...

Long non-coding RNAs expression profile and functional analysis of acute ischemic stroke
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been evidenced to be associated with the development of multiple diseases. However, the expression pattern and function of lncRNAs in acute ischemic stroke remain unclear. To determine the differential expression of lncRNAs in acute ischemic stroke, we analyzed the expression profile of lncRNAs by high-throughput sequencing analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses were employed to analyze the gene function and identify enriched pathways of the differentially expressed lncRNAs. We also built an lncRNA-mRNA expression correlation network and verified the interactions of selected l...

Predictive value of Alberta stroke program early CT score for perfusion weighted imaging - diffusion weighted imaging mismatch in stroke with middle cerebral artery occlusion
This study aimed to quantitatively assess the consistency and correlation between perfusion weighted imaging (PWI)/ diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) mismatch and PWI/DWI mismatch.
Sixty-eight acute ischemic stroke with middle cerebral artery occlusion who underwent magnetic resonance imaging before thrombectomy were eligible. DWI volume, PWI volume and PWI-DWI mismatch were measured. DWI-, PWI-, PWI-DWI ASPECTS were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the correlation between volume and ASPECTS of DWI-, PWI- and PWI-DWI mismatch. Receiver operating char...

A prognostic nomogram incorporating red cell distribution width for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the second most common subtype of stroke with higher mortality and morbidity, and it lacks effective prognostic markers. The aim of this research is to construct newly valuable prognostic nomogram incorporating red blood cell distribution width (RDW) for ICH patients.
We retrospectively analyzed 953 adult patients with ICH. The impacts of RDW on short-term mortality and functional prognosis were calculated using Akaike information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criteria (BIC) and the area under the curve (AUC) respectively, which could be used to compare with Glasgow coma scale (...

Effects of atorvastatin and aspirin on post-stroke epilepsy and usage of levetiracetam
Conclusion:
Atorvastatin and aspirin co-treatment with levetiracetam can reduce epilepsy in PSE patients and reduce the dosage of levetiracetam required for effective control of PSE.

Peony and licorice decoction fumigation treatment for strephenopodia after stroke: Study protocol for a randomized controlled pilot trial
This study aims to investigate the biomechanical effect of the classic prescription peony and licorice decoction (PLD) fumigation treatment for PSS.
Methods/Design:
This study is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind trial. A total of 190 patients with PSS according to the inclusion criteria will be recruited in 3 centers and randomly distributed to either the intervention group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group will receive PLD fumigation treatment, while the control group will receive placebo fumigation treatment. All patients will receive standardized modern rehabil...

Intraoperative fluid management in hepato-biliary-pancreatic operation using stroke volume variation monitoring: A single-center, open-label, randomized pilot study
Conclusions:
Use of the SVV-guided fluid management protocol did not reduce intraoperative fluid balance but increased the intraoperative fluid administration and might worsen postoperative oxygenation.

Effect of Yiqihuoxue Formula for the treatment of ischemic stroke: A retrospective study
This retrospective study assessed the feasible effect of Yiqihuoxue Formula (YQHXF) for the treatment of patients with ischemic stroke (IS).
A total of 66 patients with IS were included in this retrospective study. All patients received routine treatment, and were divided into two groups: a treatment group (n = 33) and a control group (n = 33). In addition to the routine treatment, all patients in the treatment group also underwent YQHXF treatment. All patients in both groups were treated for a total of 8 weeks. The outcomes were assessed by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Rankin scal...

Bringing prevost's sign into the third dimension: Artificial intelligence estimation of conjugate gaze adjusted length (CGAL) and correlation with acute ischemic stroke
Conjugate gaze deviation is associated with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), although previously only measured on a 2D plane. The current study evaluates 3D imaging efficacy to assess conjugate gaze deviation and correlate direction and strength of deviation to neuro-clinical findings.
A retrospective analysis of 519 patients who had CT scans for suspected AIS at our institution. Direction and angle of eye deviation were calculated based on 2D axial images. Volumetric reconstruction of CT scans allowed for calculation of 3D conjugate gaze adjusted length (CGAL). Angle, direction, and vector strength of both 2D and 3D scans ...

Efficacy and safety of different doses of tenecteplase for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke: A protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Discussion:
Our systematic review and network meta-analysis will generate several valuable findings and have several strengths including:
1.a systematic search string;2.predesigned criteria for subgroup analysis;3.determination of level of evidence with the GRADE system; and4.graphic illustration of numerical results.
We therefore believe that findings from this network meta-analysis will benefit future study design and improve evidence-based treatment of AIS.
Ethics and dissemination:
We will disseminate the results from the present study through submitting it to conferences or peer-reviewed journal.

Effect of home-based reablement program on improving activities of daily living for patients with stroke: A pilot study
Background:
Administering activities of daily living (ADL) and recovery of ADL functions are the main treatment goals in rehabilitation for patients with stroke. Reablement is one form of rehabilitative intervention, which aims to restore ADL functions performed in the community. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of home-based reablement from 3 concepts of ADL (ie, actual performance, ability, and self-perceived difficulty) for patients with stroke.
Methods:
This was a single-blind pilot randomized clinical trial. Twenty-six patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups: home-based reablem...
