Traditional medicine in China for ischemic stroke: bioactive components, pharmacology, and mechanisms
J Integr Neurosci. 2022 Jan 28;21(1):26. doi: 10.31083/j.jin2101026.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease and the third most common cause of death after ischemic heart disease. Increasing attention is being paid to finding effective treatments through traditional medicine. Thus, studying the traditional medicine for the treatment of ischemic stroke is of great importance. Traditional medicine in China includes traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other ethnic medicines, which is rich in variety and resources. This review first introduces the treatment mechanisms associated with ischemic stroke, such...

Efficacy and Safety of Ginkgo biloba in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Abstract Ginkgo biloba and its extract have been suggested to have a neuroprotective role in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of Ginkgo biloba use in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We searched seven databases for randomized controlled studies examining the use of Ginkgo biloba in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Relevant studies were retrieved, screened, and data were extracted independently by two reviewers. Random effects meta-analyses were performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes of Ginkgo biloba. We subsequently assessed the certainty of e...

Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761 ® improves cognition and overall condition after ischemic stroke: Results from a pilot randomized trial
Conclusion: Over the 24-week period, EGb 761® treatment improved overall cognitive performance among patients with mild to moderate ischemic stroke. Our findings provide valuable recommendations for the design of future trials, including the criteria for patient selection.Clinical Trial Registration:www.isrctn.com, identifier ISRCTN11815543.

Ginkgol Biloba extract as an adjunctive treatment for ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Conclusions: GBE appears to improve neurological function and dependence compared with conventional therapy for ischemic stroke at different stages and appears generally safe for clinical application. The lack of improvement in recurrence rate was confirmed by trial sequential analysis. Due to the generally weak evidence, further large, rigorous trials are warranted.

Neuroprotective Effects of Ginkgolide B against Ischemic Stroke: a Review of Current Literature.
Abstract Extensive evidences have shown the promising effects of Ginkgo biloba consumption on several diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, ischemic stroke, etc. Several studies also reported its beneficial role on motor activity and cognitive function. This species contain unique class of diterpene, namely Ginkgolide B, which possess several pharmacological activities such as protective effect against cardiovascular disease; the most important causes of death worldwide. The promising effects of Ginkgolide B on stroke, both ischemic and hemorrhagic, are suggested by an overwhelming body of scientific evidences. M...

Effects of ginkgo biloba extract on the cognitive function and expression profile of inflammatory factors in a rat model of hemorrhagic stroke
Hemorrhagic stroke is a major risk factor for cognitive impairment. Our study aimed to measure the effect of ginkgo biloba extract (EGB761) on the cognitive ability and inflammatory expression in hemorrhagic stroke model SD rats and to analyze their relationship. Forty SD rats were divided randomly into an SD group (normal control SD rats), an SD+EGB761 group (normal control SD rats supplemented with 45 mg/kg EGB761), a CO group (hemorrhagic stroke model SD rats using collagenase), and a CO+EGB761 group (hemorrhagic stroke model SD rats supplemented with 45 mg/kg EGB761) consisting of 10 rats, respectively. The Y-elect...
