Objective: To study the effects of deferoxamine on tissue sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+-K+ ATPase) activity on cerebral ischemia in rabbits.
Methods: We cared for the animals in the Pharmacology Department of the Medical School of Selcuk University in 2004. We used 30, New Zealand, 7-day-old male rabbits in the experiment. We anesthetized all the animals with xylazine hydrochloric acid and ketamine. We divided the rabbits equally into 3 groups. In group 1 (n=10) (sham group), we observed baseline levels, and did not apply ischemia. In group 2 (n=10) (untreated group) we produced cerebral ischemia by clamping the bilateral common carotid arteries for 60 minutes, and in group 3 (n=10), we administered deferoxamine (DFO) 50 mg/kg intravenously immediately after opening the clamps.
Results: The Na+-K+ATPase activity increased after DFO treatment (p=0.045).
Conclusion: We conclude that Na+-K+ATPase activity in cortical brain tissue was higher in DFO-treated rabbits compared with untreated animals after ischemia.

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been implicated in cross-organ protection in cerebrovascular disease, including stroke. However, the lack of a consensus protocol and controversy over the clinical therapeutic outcomes of RIC suggest an inadequate mechanistic understanding of RIC. The current study identifies RIC-induced molecular and cellular events in the blood, which enhance long-term functional recovery in experimental cerebral ischemia.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser localization combined with soft-channel minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage, and to develop stereotactic alternatives that are cost-effective, safe and precise for underdeveloped regions. To meet this aim, 60 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were randomly assigned to the control group (n=30) or the study group (n=30). The patients in the study group were treated with laser localization combined with soft-channel MIS to remove the hematoma, whereas the control group was treated with YL-1 needle puncture to drain the intracranial hemorrhage.

Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and electroacupuncture has a long history of use in stroke treatment. This meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of electroacupuncture and explore its potential mechanisms in animal models of ischemic stroke. The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and CINAHL databases were comprehensively searched up to May 1, 2024.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized as de novo hypertension (HTN) with end-organ damage, especially in the brain. PE is hypothesized to be caused by placental ischemia. PE affects ~5-8% of USA pregnancies and increases the risk for HTN and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) later in life.

To develop and validate non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based radiomics method combines machine learning (ML) to investigate invisible microscopic acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) lesions. We retrospectively analyzed 1122 patients from August 2015 to July 2022, whose were later confirmed AIS by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). However, receiving a negative result was reported by radiologists according to the NCCT images.
