The effects of a non-selective blocker of NO synthases LNNA in a dose of 25 mg/kg and nitrates KNO, NaNO, Mg(NO), and Ca(NO) in doses of 5 and 50 mg/kg were studied on the model of experimental ischemic stroke induced by bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries. Wistar rats were randomized into 40 treatment (n=960) and 8 control (n=192) groups. Treatment group rats received injection of either nitrate, or LNNA, or a combination LNNA+nitrate. All substances were administered intraperitoneally 1 h prior to brain ischemia or 5 sec after occlusion of the common carotid arteries. Control rats received the same volume of 0.9% NaCl at the same terms. The non-selective inhibitor of NO synthases LNNA administered against the background of brain ischemia increased neurological deficit and animal mortality. Nitrate/nitrite reductase system had protective properties depending on the cation of nitrate and concentration of a nitrate during inhibition of NO synthase system under conditions of brain ischemia and hypoxia.

Background: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a primary contributor to death after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), with significant incidence. Therefore, early determination of the risk of DCI is an urgent need. Machine learning (ML) has received much attention in clinical practice.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe neurological injury during infancy, often resulting in long-term cognitive deficits. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of Edaravone (EDA), a free radical scavenger, and elucidate the potential role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in mediating these effects in neonatal HIE rats. Using the Rice-Vannucci model, HIE was induced in neonatal rats, followed by immediate administration of EDA after the hypoxic-ischemic insult.

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Most cases of stroke are ischemic and result from the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Current pharmacological approaches for the treatment of ischemic stroke are limited; therefore, novel therapies providing effective neuroprotection against ischemic injury following stroke are urgently needed.

Acute stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability in the world. Ischemic stroke (IS) the most common type of stroke. In acute cerebral ischemia, damage to the brain tissue is complex and includes blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, activation of intracellular and extracellular signaling pathways, expression of neurotoxic agents, excitotoxicity, and apoptosis.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy CADASIL) is a rare inherited disorder in which thickening of the walls of small and medium-sized blood vessels blocks blood flow to the brain. Diagnosis of CADASIL is based on clinical presentation, neuroimaging findings, and genetic predisposition. This disease is uncommon in children; typically, symptoms manifest in individuals between the ages of 20 and 40, though some may exhibit symptoms later in life.
