Objective: To examine cerebrovascular reactivity in patients after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) during long-term follow-up, using Acetazolamide test and transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring of blood flow velocities (BFVs), to compare of CO(2) reactivity between patients after SAH treated with three different methods: surgical (clipping), endovasculary (coiling) and conservative.
Methods: The study was performed in a group of 24 patients treated for SAH. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) has been evaluated after intravenous administration of 1000 mg of Acetazolamide. Studied patients were divided into three groups: group I (n = 10) treated with clipping, group II (n = 8) treated with coiling and group III (n = 6)--patients with negative angiography treated conservatively.
Results: Results of this study have shown that: (1) BFVs were normal in cerebral arteries and did not differ between right and left head sides, (2) CVR was normal in all studied patients, (3) method of aneurysm treatment as well as its localization had no influence on BFV and CVR, and (4) occurrence of vasospasm in early days after SAH did not result in permanent disturbances of CO(2) arterial reactivity.
Conclusion: BFV values in cerebral arteries were in normal range and did not differ on the left and right head sides. CVR was normal in all examinated patients. A method of the ruptured aneurysm treatment and its localization had no influence on CBFV and CRV. Vasospasm in early period after SAH did not provoke a persistent impairment of CO(2) reactivity.

This study compared the roles of extraparenchymal autonomic nervous system (ANS) control of cerebral blood flow (CBF) versus intraparenchymal cerebrovascular autoregulation in 487 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and 413 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Vasomotion intensity of extraparenchymal and intraparenchymal vessels were quantified as the amplitude of oscillations of arterial blood pressure (ABP) and intracranial pressure (ICP) in the very low frequency range of 0.02-0.

Background: Little is known about the relationship between lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH). The aim of the study was to examine if elevated Lp(a) levels are associated with higher burden of WMH.
Methods: We retrospectively investigated associations between Lp(a) and the burden of WMH among patients with confirmed diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks.

Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) can be induced under various stress conditions. This study aimed to explore the role of GDF15 in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced HT22 cells. OGD/R was employed to induce the HT22 cell model, and GDF15 expression was upregulated via transfection.

This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of Takayasu's arteritis (TA) with carotid artery occlusion in children. This study collected clinical data and follow-up information on the first diagnosis and treatment of c-TA combined with carotid artery occlusion in pediatric patients at the Children's Hospital affiliated with the Capital Institute of Pediatrics and Inner Mongolia Medical University Affiliated Hospital from 2013 to 2023. This study included four female patients with a mean age of (13.

Emergency intravascular interventional therapy is the most effective approach to rapidly restore blood flow and manage occlusion of major blood vessels during the initial phase of acute ischemic stroke. Nevertheless, several patients continue to experience ineffective reperfusion or cerebral no-reflow phenomenon, that is, hypoperfusion of cerebral blood supply after treatment. This is primarily attributed to downstream microcirculation disturbance.
