Cardiac myxoma and ischemic stroke
We report a case of intra-arterial tirofiban administration in a patient with acute ischemic stroke due to left atrial myxoma. Our purpose is to increase awareness at evaluation of secondary causes of ischemic stroke and provide a treatment option.Cardiac myxoma, which is most commonly found in the left atrium, is a rare etiology of cardioembolic stroke.1 The diagnosis of cardiac myxoma is seldom found at the onset of cerebral embolism when considering emergency endovascular treatment. We present a case of a 52-year-old Chinese male who had an ischemic stroke caused by left atrial myxoma, followed by an obvious recovery af...

A rat model of vascular dementia for evaluating Chinese medicine prescriptions
Conclusions For evaluating Chinese medicine, a model of vascular dementia in rats is set up with the lacunar stroke from self-thrombosis during hypercholesterolemia. This model from lacunar stroke is useful to investigate the pathogenesis and treatment of vascular dementia.

Based on voxel-based morphological analysis to investigate the effect of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on hippocampal volume and its neuroprotective mechanism in patients with vascular cognitive impairment with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A study protocol
Discussion: This trial can clarify the effect of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy on hippocampal volume and its intervention mechanism on oxidative stress injury in VCI patients with T2DM, and clarify the scientific connotation of its neuroprotective mechanism in the VCI patients with T2DM, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of acupuncture-rehabilitation therapy in the treatment of VCI.
