Potential neuroprotection of protodioscin against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats through intervening inflammation and apoptosis

TL;DR: Findings demonstrated that protodioscin appeared to reveal potential neuroprotection against the I/R injury due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis properties, probably mediated by the inactivation of NF-κB signal pathways.

Cerebral Ischemic Stroke: Sequels of Cascade

TL;DR: There is clear understanding of ischemic cascade followed by the mechanism of all damaging factors like energy failure, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, cell death modes: necrosis, apoptosis along with histological changes.

Monitoring Acute Stroke Progression: Multi-Parametric OCT Imaging of Cortical Perfusion, Flow, and Tissue Scattering in a Mouse Model of Permanent Focal Ischemia

TL;DR: The use of multi-parametric OCT imaging may aid in the comprehensive evaluation of ischemic lesions during the early stages of stroke, thereby providing essential knowledge for guiding treatment decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanomaterials in Stroke Treatment: Perspectives

TL;DR: Major approaches developed to treat acute ischemic stroke fall into 2 categories, early recanalization (thrombolysis) and neuroprotection, which are achieved by blocking of proinflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion agents, decrease of lipid peroxidation processes, and blocking of apoptosis.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

Direct Proinflammatory Effect of C-Reactive Protein on Human Endothelial Cells

TL;DR: The hypothesis that CRP may play a direct role in promoting the inflammatory component of atherosclerosis and present a potential target for the treatment of Atherosclerosis is supported.

p53 Has a Direct Apoptogenic Role at the Mitochondria

TL;DR: Evidence that p53 translocation to the mitochondria occurs in vivo in irradiated thymocytes is provided and it is shown that the p53 protein can directly induce permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane by forming complexes with the protective BclXL and Bcl2 proteins, resulting in cytochrome c release.

Glutamate-mediated astrocyte-neuron signalling.

TL;DR: Astrocytes regulate neuronal calcium levels through the calcium-dependent release of glutamate, and an NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptor-mediated increase in neuronal calcium is demonstrated.
