Unilateral Ankle‐Foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton with Balance‐Sensing Feedback for Self‐Help Telerehabilitation after Stroke

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

Integrin α8‐Mediated Pericyte Morphogenesis Controls Blood‐Brain Barrier Integrity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights that ITGA8 impacts pericyte morphology and function, both crucial for BBB integrity, via RhoA/ROCK signaling, thus influencing TGF‐β1 activation through cytoskeletal tension and ECM interactions. Notably, in post‐ischemic recovery models, ITGA8 deficiency exacerbates vascular dysfunction by impairing pericyte‐mediated BBB ...

PRDM16 Reduces Cellular Senescence by Upregulating GSTM1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cellular senescence drives aging and aging‐related organ disorders, yet PRDM16's role remains unexplored. This work uncovers that PRDM16 decreases significantly in aged organs, while its loss accelerates cellular senescence and aging‐related organ injury.

Potential use of oxygen as a metabolic biosensor in combination with T2*-weighted MRI to define the ischemic penumbra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We describe a novel magnetic resonance imaging technique for detecting metabolism indirectly through changes in oxyhemoglobin:deoxyhemoglobin ratios and T2* signal change during ‘oxygen challenge’ (OC, 5 mins 100% O2). During OC, T2* increase reflects O2

Extracellular LCN2 Binding to 24p3R in Astrocytes Impedes α‐Synuclein Endocytosis in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
24p3R is an astrocytic receptor for α‐Syn uptake. When LCN2 is secreted from astrocytes, it binds to its receptor 24p3R in astrocytes and this binding impedes the α‐Syn PFF binding to 24p3R. This in turn inhibits 24p3R‐mediated α‐Syn PFF uptake and reduces the clearance of extracellular α‐Syn by astrocytes, which contributes to α‐Syn spread and ...

A study of factors delaying hospital arrival and predictors of mortality in patients presenting to emergency department with stroke: A developing state scenario [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic stroke has recently become available in India but its success depends on initiating the treatment in the narrow therapeutic time window.

rLOAD: does sex mediate the effect of acute antiplatelet loading on stroke outcome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundBiologic sex can influence response to pharmacologic therapy. The purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to evaluate the medicating effects of estrogen in the efficacy of acute antiplatelet loading therapy on stroke outcome in the rabbit ...

Glycolytic Enzyme HK2 Phosphorylates nSMase1 to Promote Astrocytic Exosomes Biogenesis Contributing to Acute Ischemic Stroke Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the glycolytic enzyme HK2 mediates hypoxia‐induced astrocytic exosome biogenesis by directly phosphorylating nSMase1. These astrocytic exosomes impair brain endothelial tight junctions. Astrocyte‐specific knockdown of HK2 reduces exosome release and alleviates brain injury after MCAO.

Current endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke

open access: yesВестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова
Acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and long-term disability. For a long time, intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been the only method of treating patients with acute ischemic ...
