Retinal stroke: research models, targets and experimental drugs
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2023 Aug 31. doi: 10.1080/13543784.2023.2254688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO), often caused by a microembolus and resulting in inner retinal ischemia, could be considered as the retinal analogue to cerebral stroke. Although several therapeutic targets have been suggested in animal models of retinal ischemia and several potential treatments have been evaluated on small series of patients, central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is still rarely treatable in clinical practice.AREAS COVERED: Here, we review several animal models of RAO, including increas...

Effect of Nicorandil, Diltiazem, or Isosorbide Mononitrate for Oral Antispastic Therapy After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Using Radial Artery Grafts —A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (ASRAB-Pilot): Rationale and Study Protocol
ConclusionThis pilot trial will compare the preliminary effects of nicorandil, diltiazem, and isosorbide mononitrate on angiographic and clinical outcomes in patients who have undergone RA-CABG. Recruitment began in June 2020, and the estimated primary completion date is early 2023. Results of this study will provide much needed information for design of large confirmatory trials on the effectiveness of oral antispastic medications after RA-CABG.

Association of oral bisphosphonates with cardioembolic ischemic stroke: a nested case-control study
Conclusion: The use of oral bisphosphonates increases specifically the odds of cardioembolic IS, in a duration-dependent manner, while leaves materially unaffected the odds of non-cardioembolic IS.

Protective effect of antihypertensive drugs on the risk of Parkinson ’s disease lacks causal evidence from mendelian randomization
Conclusion: Our data suggest that BP and commonly prescribed AHMs may not have a prominent role in PD etiology.

Electrolyte Imbalance and Neurologic Injury
CNS Neurol Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Feb 15. doi: 10.2174/1871527322666230215144649. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurologic injury continues to be a debilitating worldwide disease with high morbidity and mortality. The systemic sequelae of a neural insult often lead to prolonged hospital stays and challenging nutritional demands that contribute to poorer prognoses. Clinical management of a given condition should prioritize preserving the homeostatic parameters disrupted by inflammatory response cascades following the primary insult. This focused review examines the reciprocal relationship between electrolyte disturbance ...

Inter and intracellular mitochondrial transfer: Future of mitochondrial transplant therapy in Parkinson's disease
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Jan 20;159:114268. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114268. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParkinson's disease (PD) is marked by the gradual degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and the intracellular build-up of Lewy bodies rich in α-synuclein protein. This impairs various aspects of the mitochondria including the generation of ROS, biogenesis, dynamics, mitophagy etc. Mitochondrial dynamics are regulated through the inter and intracellular movement which impairs mitochondrial trafficking within and between cells. This inter and intracellular mitochondrial movement plays a significant role in maintainin...

Exploring the potential mechanism of Fritiliariae Irrhosae Bulbus on ischemic stroke based on network pharmacology and experimental validation
Conclusion: Based on network pharmacology, the effect of FIB in the treatment of ischemic strokes was discussed through the multi-component-multi-target-multi-pathway. The therapeutic effect and potential mechanisms of FIB on ischemic strokes were preliminarily explored, which provided a ground work for further researches on the pharmacodynamic material basis, mechanism of action and clinical application.

Pharmacological interventions for preventing atrial fibrillation after lung surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionCurrent clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of pharmacological intervention with beta-blockers, amiodarone, magnesium sulfate, or calcium-channel blockers to reduce the incidence of POAF after lung surgery in patients with lung cancer. In the absence of contraindications, prophylaxis with beta-blockers seems to be the most effective of the treatments studied.

Crocins for Ischemic Stroke: A Review of Current Evidence
Crocins (CRs) and the related active constituents derived from Crocus sativus L. (Saffron) have demonstrated protective effects against cerebral ischemia and ischemic stroke, with various bioactivities including neuroprotection, anti-neuroinflammation, antioxidant, and cardiovascular protection. Among CRs, crocin (CR) has been shown to act on multiple mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in ischemic stroke, including mitochondrial apoptosis, nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of B cells pathway, S100 calcium-binding protein B, interleukin-6 and vascular endothelial growth factor-A. CR is generally safe and wel...

Triiodothyronine Aggravates Global Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice
In this study, we examined the effect of T3 administration on DNA fragmentation induced by neuronal death and the activation of inflammatory cells such as astrocytes and microglia in the hippocampus following GCI. The content of nucleosomes generated by DNA fragmentation in the hippocampus was increased by GCI and further increased by T3 administration. The protein expression levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astrocytic marker, and Ionized calcium binding adaptor protein 1 (Iba1), a microglial marker, in the hippocampus were also increased by GCI and further increased by T3 administration. The levels of ...
