Protective effect of phillyrin against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats and oxidative stress-induced cell apoptosis and autophagy in neurons.

This study explored the role and potential molecular mechanism of phillyrin in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/R model was constructed, and cerebral infarction volume, brain water content, and neurological score were measured. Neuron morphological structures in brain tissues and primary neuron apoptosis were detected using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and Hoechst 33258 staining, respectively.

The impact of diabetes mellitus on carotid artery stenting: a meta-analysis.

Diabetes is considered to be one of the important factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA), but its effect on carotid stenting (CAS) has not been determined. We performed this analysis to evaluate the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on carotid stenting. Studies were searched in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for all available studies comparing the outcomes of diabetic and nondiabetic patients who underwent CAS.

Ethnic differences in characteristics and outcome of acute ischemic stroke in China: A single center experience.

Background: This study aimed to explore ethnic differences of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients' characteristics, management and outcome in Chinese population in an institutional retrospective study.

Methods: Data of consecutive patients with AIS treated at our center from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Ethnic differences in demographics, risk factors, treatment, and outcomes were evaluated.

MiR-30b-5p modulates glioma cell proliferation by direct targeting MTDH.

Malignant glioma is the most common and lethal type of primary tumor of the central nervous system. The incidence of glioma is increasing year by year. In recent years, a variety of new treatment methods have emerged, among which gene therapy has become a hotspot.

Giant Pseudoaneurysm from Superficial Temporal Artery After Trauma.

An 83-year-old woman presented with a lump on her left frontal region. One month ago, she fell and hit the ground with the left side of her head. However, she had no evidence of injury.

Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of Unknown Primary in the Bilateral Cerebellopontine Angles: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Metastatic adenocarcinoma in bilateral cerebellopontine angles (CPA) is rare. We report a case and review the current literature in order to enhance recognition of metastatic adenocarcinoma in the cerebellopontine angle. A 44-year-old man was referred to the hospital with rightsided diminished hearing for 7 weeks, left-sided facial palsy for 2 weeks, and left-sided sensorineural hearing loss for 1 week.
