Objective: Determining the changes in the prognosis of the cerebral infarction area has an important guiding role in the selection of the treatment plan. The goal of this study is to propose a machine learning-based method that can predict the prognosis of stroke effectively and efficiently.
Methods: 97 cases of stroke were analyzed retrospectively.
Background And Objective: As reported, both minor stroke and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. The underlying factors for dynamic changes in WMH volume and cognitive performances in patients with minor stroke remain poorly understood. A 2-year longitudinal study was designed to investigate the factors associated with the changes in white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume on brain MRI and cognitive decline in patients with minor stroke.

However, the role and mechanism of XIST in ischemic stroke remain elusive. In our study, we found that XIST expression was upregulated in both mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-treated neurons.

In present study, we aim to determine the association of circulating inflammatory markers with different stroke subtype.
Methods: 99 patients with non-cardioembolic stroke were divided into large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and small-artery occlusion (SAO) according to TOAST classification.
The key circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and their interaction in peripheral inflammation after acute cerebral ischemia are poorly understood. CD40L, IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17 and TNF-α were determined using multi-ELISA kit in stroke patients within 72 h of an acute ischemic attack. Leukocyte mRNAs were determined using real-time polymerase chain reactions (PCR).

In the present study, we aimed to develop cocktail blood biomarkers to increase prediction efficiency using a combination of hemostasis, inflammatory and repair-related biomarkers.
Methods: 105 patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke were divided into good outcome group and poor outcome group by modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

MicroRNA-210 (miR-210), a master and pleiotropic hypoxia-microRNA, plays multiple roles in brain ischemia. However, miR-210 expression and its function in humans have not been explored. The aim of our study is to evaluate the correlation of blood miR-210 with clinical findings in acute ischemic stroke.
