Different Roles of Mitochondria in Cell Death and Inflammation: Focusing on Mitochondrial Quality Control in Ischemic Stroke and Reperfusion.

TL;DR: In this article, the principal mitochondrial molecular mechanisms compromised during ischemic and reperfusion injury were explored, and potential neuroprotective strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial homeostasis were delineated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective Effects of Spatholobi Caulis Extract on Neuronal Damage and Focal Ischemic Stroke/Reperfusion Injury.

TL;DR: In MCAO-reperfusion injury, SCE promoted neuronal survival and level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) by reducing glial activation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in the ipsilateral cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central Noradrenergic Agonists in the Treatment of Ischemic Stroke-an Overview.

TL;DR: Knowing the type of the noradrenergic agent; the dose, frequency, and duration of administration; the timing of administration in relation to the acute event; and the site and characteristics of the ischemic lesions would pave the path for the successful use of the centrally acting norADrenergic agents in the management of ischeic stroke.

Lagrangian Transport and Chaotic Advection in Three-Dimensional Laminar Flows

TL;DR: 3D practical flows are categorised into canonical problems to expose the diversity of Lagrangian transport and create awareness of its broad relevance and to reconcile practical flows with fundamentals on Lagrangia transport and chaotic advection.

Roles of Pro- and Anti-inflammatory Cytokines in Traumatic Brain Injury and Acute Ischemic Stroke

TL;DR: This chapter will introduce the reader to the pathophysiology of two devastating neurologic events, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and focus on the role of key pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
