Effects of adjuvant berberine therapy on acute ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis
Phytother Res. 2023 Jul 8. doi: 10.1002/ptr.7920. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical efficacy of berberine (BBR) in treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS), explore its anti-inflammatory effects, and assess its potential applications for AIS patients. We comprehensively searched nine databases from inception until July 1, 2022, to identify clinical trials investigating the use of BBR in treating AIS. We performed statistical analyses using RevMan5.4 software and focused on primary outcomes such as inflammatory markers as well as secondary outcomes including immune system indica...

Ultrasound examination of the carotid artery for improved prediction of cardiovascular events and the effect of statin treatment in advanced atherosclerosis : An observational study
CONCLUSION: The prediction of cardiovascular events was better with plaque burden measurements than with the PROCAM score. Treatment with statins in subjects with advanced carotid atherosclerosis (types III-IV b findings on ultrasound) significantly improved the prognosis in a nonrandomized observational study.PMID:37402837 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-023-05197-z

Association between remnant cholesterol and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis among Chinese general population in health examination
CONCLUSION: Elevated serum RC levels were significantly associated with CAS and increased CIMT among Chinese general population, independent of LDL-C and HDL-C. RC evaluation could be applied for the risk management of early stage of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in health examination.PMID:37392486 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2023.107234

Associations of plaque morphology and location with Intraplaque neovascularization in the carotid artery by contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging
CONCLUSION: The location and morphology of carotid plaques were significantly associated with the IPN grade on CEUS, and therefore show potential as biomarkers for plaque vulnerability. Serum HDL-C was also identified as a protective factor against IPN, and may play a role in the management of carotid atherosclerosis. Our study provided a potential strategy for identification of vulnerable carotid plaques and elucidated the important imaging predictors of stroke.PMID:37251224 | PMC:PMC10213664 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2023.1097070
