AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

The authors presented clinical material on cerebral hemodynamics in patients with neurological pathology in suspected tumor vascular cerebral diseases and craniocerebral traumas. Investigation of cerebral microcirculation was performed using a multidetector single-photon emission tomograph "Testoscan" (USSR) after iv administration of 99mTc-hexamethylpropilene-amyloxine. This radiopharmaceutical is good for the evaluation of cerebral perfusion and gives a clinician rich information on cerebral microcirculation.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of butylphthalein injection combined with alteplase thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and its effects on lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) levels.

Methods: A total of 127 ACI patients admitted to Shandong Provincial Third Hospital between March 2020 and June 2023 were included and divided into a butylphthalein group (n = 67) and a control group (n = 60) based on their treatment regimen. All patients received basic treatment.

Background: Antiplatelet drugs represent potential candidates for protecting the penumbral microcirculation during cerebral ischemia and improving the benefits of arterial recanalization in ischemic stroke. Yet while the efficacy of such adjuvant strategies has been shown to be highly time dependent, antiplatelet therapy at the acute phase of ischemic stroke cannot be envisioned until the diagnosis of stroke and its ischemic nature have been confirmed because of the presumed risk of worsening bleeding in case of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Here, we investigated this risk for 2 antiplatelet drugs currently being tested in clinical trials for ischemic stroke, glenzocimab and eptifibatide, in 2 mouse models of ICH.

Introduction: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebrovascular disease are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a leading cause of dementia and stroke. While coronary small vessel disease (coronary microvascular dysfunction) causes microvascular angina and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

The aim of this study was to conduct experiments using laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) technology to investigate the effects of high salt diet on renal vascular reactivity in mice. LSCI is a technology for monitoring blood flow based on the laser speckle principle. It has been widely used to detect microcirculatory functions in tissues such as the skin and brain.

Combining In Vivo Two-Photon and Laser Speckle Microscopy With the Ex Vivo Capillary-Parenchymal Arteriole Preparation as a Novel Approach to Study Neurovascular Coupling.

Objective: Cerebral blood flow (CBF) decline is increasingly recognized as an area of importance for targeting neurodegenerative disorders, yet full understanding of the mechanisms that underlie CBF changes are lacking. Animal models are crucial for expanding our knowledge as methods for studying global CBF and neurovascular coupling in humans are limited and require expensive specialized scanners.

Methods: Use of appropriate animal models can increase our understanding of cerebrovascular function, so we have combined chronic cranial windows with in vivo two-photon and laser speckle microscopy and ex vivo capillary-parenchymal arteriole (CaPA) preparations.
