Association of hemoglobin glycation index with all-cause and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality among people with metabolic syndrome.

Background: Research on the association between blood glucose-related biomarkers and mortality has gained increasing attention. However, the association of hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) with all-cause and cardio-cerebrovascular mortality among people with metabolic syndrome has never been investigated. The objective of this study was to examine the association through a cohort study of the American population.

Electroacupuncture Alleviates Cerebral Ischemia-reperfusion Injury by Regulating the S1PR2/TLR4/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway via m6A Methylation of lncRNA H19.

Unlabelled: Electroacupuncture (EA) treatment plays a protective role in cerebral ischemiareperfusion (CIR) injury. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is still not fully elucidated.

Methods: All rats were randomly divided into five groups: the SHAM group, MCAO group, MCAO+EA (MEA) group, MCAO+METTL3 overexpression+EA (METTL3) group and MCAO+lncRNA H19 overexpression+EA (lncRNA H19) group.

Bibliometric Analysis of Non-coding RNAs and Ischemic Stroke: Trends, Frontiers, and Challenges.

More and more articles have shown that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a significant role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of ischemic stroke. However, the bibliometric analysis in ncRNAs and ischemic stroke is still lacking. This study retrieved the Web of Science Core Collection for relevant articles from January 1, 2010 to April 6, 2023.

Prevalence and bidirectional association between rhinitis and urticaria: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Rhinitis, allergic rhinitis in particular, and urticaria are both common diseases globally. However, there is controversy with regard to the correlation between rhinitis and urticaria. To examine the accurate association between rhinitis and urticaria.

[Efficacy of electroacupuncture on acute intracerebral hemorrhage and its effect on serum AQP4 in patients].

Objective: To observe the effects on neural function, living ability and mental state of the patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), as well as aquaporin 4 (AQP4) in the serum after treated with electroacupuncture (EA) on the base of routine therapy of western medicine.

Methods: Seventy-two acute ICH patients were randomized into an observation group (36 cases, 4 cases dropped off) and a control group (36 cases, 2 cases dropped off). In the control group, the conventional treatment was delivered such as stopping bleeding, preventing re-hemorrhage, controlling blood pressure, mitigating neural edema and reducing intracranial pressure.

The prevalence of apathy in stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Apathy is a frequent neuropsychiatric disorder in stroke patients. However, its prevalence rates have conflicting results across studies. This meta-analysis aimed to estimate the overall prevalence of apathy in stroke patients from 1990 to 2022.

Electroacupuncture Inhibits Ferroptosis Induced by Cerebral Ischemiareperfusion.

Background: Electroacupuncture (EA) treatment has been recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) for years on cerebral ischemia treatment, but the specific mechanism is still elusive. Studies have shown that EA can relieve brain damage after ischemic stroke by inhibiting programmed cell death (PCD), such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and autophagy. Ferroptosis, a unique form of cell death, has been highlighted recently and found to occur in I/R injury.

Electroacupuncture Alleviates Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats by Histone H4 Lysine 16 Acetylation-Mediated Autophagy.

Electroacupuncture (EA) treatment in ischemic stroke has been highlighted recently; however, the specific mechanism is still elusive. Autophagy is considered a new target for cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), but whether it plays a role of protecting or causing rapid cell apoptosis remains unclear. Studies have reported that the reduction in lysine 16 of histone H4 acetylation coheres with autophagy induction.
