The Roles of High Mobility Group Box 1 in Cerebral Ischemic Injury
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous nuclear protein that plays an important role in stabilizing nucleosomes and DNA repair. HMGB1 can be passively released from necrotic neurons or actively secreted by microglia, macrophages/monocytes, and ...

Effects of pyruvate administration on infarct volume and neurological deficits following permanent focal cerebral ischemia in rats [PDF]
Recent experimental evidences indicate that pyruvate, the final metabolite of glycolysis, has a remarkable protective effect against different types of brain injury. The purpose of this study was to assess the neuroprotective effect and the neurological outcome after pyruvate administration in a model of ischemic stroke induced by permanent middle ...

Measurement of Individual Alteration in Perioperative ECGs During Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]
The increasing availability of wearable electrocardiography (ECG) devices enables the continuous monitoring of individual ECG alterations. This could be beneficial for patients suffering from acute ischemia but with non-standard ECG findings that do not fit to the subject-independent and absolute thresholds defined in clinical guidelines. In this work,

Implications of MMP9 for Blood Brain Barrier Disruption and Hemorrhagic Transformation Following Ischemic Stroke. [PDF]
Numerous studies have documented increases in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), specifically MMP-9 levels following stroke, with such perturbations associated with disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB), increased risk of hemorrhagic complications ...

Targeted regulation of pyroptosis to modulate the immune landscape is a novel design strategy for cancer immunotherapy and anti‐inflammatory treatment. Pyroptosis, as a double‐edged sword, underscores the importance of optimizing the design strategy of functional materials and appropriately activating pyroptosis for the effective treatment of diseases.

Neuroprotective potential for mitigating ischemia-reperfusion-induced damage
Reperfusion following cerebral ischemia causes both structural and functional damage to brain tissue and could aggravate a patient’s condition; this phenomenon is known as cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor DFU is neuroprotective when given several hours after transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils [PDF]
Several studies suggest that cyclooxygenase-2 contributes to the delayed progression of ischemic brain damage. In this study we examined whether the highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor DFU reduces neuronal damage when administered several hours after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils.

Involvement of leukotriene pathway in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury and septic and non-septic shock. [PDF]
The 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway is responsible for the production of leukotrienes (LTs), inflammatory lipid mediators which play a role in innate immunity. More recently, a pivotal role of LTs in ischemia-reperfusion and shock injury has been suggested.
