Efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine on poststroke depression in animal models: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionOur results suggest that CHM could significantly improve depression-like behavior and neurological function in animals with PSD. The current results should be interpreted with caution because only animal studies were included.

A Novel Hybrid of Telmisartan and Borneol Ameliorates Neuroinflammation and White Matter Injury in Ischemic Stroke Through ATF3/CH25H Axis
AbstractCerebral ischemic stroke causes substantial white matter injury, which is further aggravated by neuroinflammation mediated by microglia/astrocytes. Given the anti-neuroinflammatory action of telmisartan and the enhancing blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability potential of resuscitation-inducing aromatic herbs, 13 hybrids (3a-m) of telmisartan (or its simplified analogues) with resuscitation-inducing aromatic agents were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated. Among them, the optimal compound3a (the ester hybrid of telmisartan and (+)-borneol) potently inhibited neuroinflammation mediated by microglia/ast...

Association between Baseline NIHSS Limb Motor Score and Functional Recovery after Stroke: Analysis Based on a Multicountry Dataset
Conclusions: As an independent association between b-NIHSS-LMS and functional recovery after an acute ischaemic stroke of intermediate severity was established in this study, we suggest that the b-NIHSS-LMS can be used as a stratification factor in large clinical trials to define a target population with poststroke motor impairments.Cerebrovasc Dis

Storax Protected Primary Cortical Neurons from Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation/Reoxygenation Injury via Inhibiting the TLR4/TRAF6/NF- κB Signaling Pathway
This study aimed to elucidate the neuroprotective effects and underlying mechanisms of storax on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in injured cortical neurons. The cortical neurons of Wistar rats were primarily cultured in vitro. TheTUNELmethod and CM-H2DCFDA probe were used to detect cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot were used to detect the expression of inflammatory cytokines and proteins of the TLR4/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway. Immunofluorescence was used to measure NF-κB nuc...

Xueshuantong injection combined with Salvianolate lyophilized injection improves the synaptic plasticity against focal cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion injury in rats through PI3K/ AKT/ mTOR and RhoA/ROCK pathways
In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of XST combined with SLI in the recovery stage of middle cerebral artery occlusion / reperfusion (MCAO/R) injury rat. Wistar rats were subjects to MCAO/R, then were treated with SLI or XST alone, or with their combination (1X1S) via tail injection daily for 14 days. The pathological status of the brain was detected by neurological deficit scores, TTC, regional cerebral blood flow and Nissl staining. Golgi-Cox staining was used to assess dendritic, axonal and synaptic remodeling. The expression of MAP-2, β-Tubulin, PSD95, SYN, BDNF and VEGF were analyzed by western...

Intravenous Thrombolysis for a Stroke Mimic Patient
The authors present the case of a young woman on phentermine and herbal supplements who presented as an acute stroke alert with right-sided facial droop and numbness. She was treated acutely with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). However, the workup did not reveal any evidence of cerebrovascular disease or cerebral infarct. The authors discuss plausible stroke mimics and the safety of administering tPA to such patients.Case Rep Neurol 2021;13:704 –709

Decreased spasticity of Baishaoluoshi Decoction through the BDNF/TrKB-KCC2 pathway on poststroke spasticity rats
Conclusion Suppression of spasticity by Baishaoluoshi Decoction in PSS rat models may be correlated with upregulated BDNF/TrKB-KCC2 pathway, which may be a complementary therapeutic strategy for PSS.

Quantitative and qualitative analyses of herbal medication use among Ghanaian stroke survivors
Herbal medicines are not regulated by regulatory authorities and are often not of proven safety and efficacy. Anecdotal reports suggest widespread use of traditional herbal medicine (THM) for treatment of stroke in Africa, but verifiable data are limited in published literature.

Synergistic Network Pharmacology for Traditional Chinese Medicine Liangxue Tongyu Formula in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhagic Stroke
CONCLUSION: The LXTYF attenuates AICH partially by antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptosis and lowers blood pressure roles through regulating the targets involved MAPK, calcium, apoptosis, and TNF signaling pathway, which provide notable clues for further experimental validation.PMID:33727915 | PMC:PMC7936909 | DOI:10.1155/2021/8874296

Saikosaponin A improved depression-like behavior and inhibited hippocampal neuronal apoptosis after cerebral ischemia through p-CREB/BDNF pathway.
Abstract Post-stroke depression(PSD) is a common complication and associates with poor physical recovery, low quality of life and high mortality after cerebral infarction. However, the pathogenesis of PSD have not been elucidated thoroughly now, and there is a lack of effective therapy in clinic. It reported that Saikosaponin A, one of the main constituents from Chinese herb Bupleurum chinense, has pharmacological activity in anti-depression. Thus, this study aimed to elucidate the potential effects and mechanisms of Saikosaponin A on the depression-like behavior after cerebral ischemic injury in rats. The rat mod...

NeuroAid II (MLC901) in Haemorrhagic Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. NeuroAid (MLC601), which originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine, comprises herbal and animal components, and has been shown to improve the functional status of patients after ischaemic stroke. The use of NeuroAid II (MLC901), which comprises only the herbal components of MLC601, in haemorrhagic stroke has not been previously reported. Our patient is a 63-year-old male with a significant stroke risk factor of hypertension. He developed visual field defect, aphasia, unilateral weakness, and hemisensory loss. CT scan showed a left thalamic haemorrhage. In addition to an...
