Background And Purpose: Acute hyperglycemia worsens the clinical outcomes and exacerbates cerebral hemorrhage after stroke. The mediators of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in hyperglycemic stroke are not fully understood. Matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) plays a critical role in the tissue-type plasminogen activator-induced HT. However, the role of MMP3 in exacerbating the HT and worsening the functional outcomes in hyperglycemic stroke remains unknown.
Methods: Control/normoglycemic and hyperglycemic (blood glucose, 140-200 mg/dL) male Wistar rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion for 90 minutes and either 24 hours or 7 days reperfusion. MMP3 was inhibited pharmacologically (UK 356618, 15 mg/kg IV at reperfusion) or knocked down in the brain by shRNA lentiviral particles (injected intracerebroventricular). Neurovascular injury was assessed at 24 hours, and functional outcomes were assessed at 24 hours, day 3, and day 7. MMP3 activity was measured in brain homogenate and cerebral macrovessels. Localization of MMP3 within the neurovascular unit after hyperglycemic stroke was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry.
Results: Hyperglycemia significantly increased MMP3 activity in the brain after stroke, and this was associated with exacerbated HT and worsened functional outcomes. MMP3 inhibition significantly reduced HT and improved functional outcomes.
Conclusions: MMP3 plays a critical role in mediating cerebrovascular injury in hyperglycemic stroke. Our findings point out MMP3 as a potential therapeutic target in hyperglycemic stroke.

Aims: Post stroke hyperglycemia has been shown to deter functional recovery. Earlier findings have indicated the cap-dependent translation regulator 4E-BP1 is detrimentally upregulated in hyperglycemic conditions. The present study aims to test the hypothesis that hyperglycemic ischemic reperfusion injury (I/R) affects normal protein translation poststroke.

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a serious complication that can occur as a result of thrombolytic therapy following ischemic stroke (IS), and it poses significant limitations on the clinical application of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). Unfortunately, there are currently no effective interventions available for HT in clinical practice. Therefore, there is an urgent need for stable and reliable experimental animal models to elucidate the pathogenesis of HT and develop effective intervention strategies.

Introduction: Hyperglycemia is common in acute ischemic stroke, and associated with larger infarct volume and unfavorable functional outcome. To identify a subgroup that may benefit from glucose lowering in future studies, we assessed the evolution of glucose levels in the first 24 hrs after admission using continuous glucose monitoring in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT).
Methods: In a prospective two center cohort study, consecutive patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke, who were eligible for EVT within 24 hrs of symptom onset, were enrolled.

Background: An acute hyperglycemic status is reportedly associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute cardiovascular diseases. Although the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is used to evaluate the hyperglycemic condition on admission, relationships between SHR and clinical outcomes, particularly heart failure (HF), remain uncertain in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods And Results: This retrospective multicenter study included 2,386 patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
