Background and Purpose- We try to evaluate whether plaque features and perforator stroke after intracranial stenting is associated with the arterial remodeling patterns in patients with severe basilar artery stenosis. Methods- We studied patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis who underwent high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging from September 2014 to January 2017. Among them, patients with basilar artery stenosis underwent angioplasty and stenting were recruited. Arterial remodeling patterns were divided into negative or nonnegative remodeling. Plaque features were investigated by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, which includes plaque distribution, intraplaque hemorrhage, calcification, as well as enhancement patterns. Incidence of perforator strokes after intracranial stenting was recorded. Plaque features and incidence of poststenting perforator stroke were compared between negative and nonnegative remodeling. Results- Two hundred ninety-eight consecutive patients were enrolled. Among them, 30 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. There were 11 patients (36.7%) with negative remodeling and 19 (63.3%) with nonnegative remodeling. Twenty-six patients (86.7%) had diffuse distribution, 5 patients (16.7%) had intraplaque hemorrhage, 2 patients (6.7%) had calcification, and 17 patients (65.4%) had enhancement. Three patients had perforator stroke after stenting. Plaque features were similar between negative and nonnegative remodeling groups. Patients with negative remodeling were more likely to have perforator stroke after stenting comparing with patients with nonnegative remodeling (27.3% versus 0%, P=0.041). Conclusions- Perforator stroke after basilar artery stenting may be related to negative remodeling on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. The finding needs to be confirmed in future studies.

Genistein-3'-sodium sulfonate suppresses NLRP3-mediated cell pyroptosis after cerebral ischemia.

Cerebral ischemia-induced pyroptosis contributes to the dissemination of neuroinflammation, and Nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a key role in this process. Previous studies have indicated that Genistein-3'-sodiumsulfonate (GSS) can inhibit neuroinflammation caused by cerebral ischemia, exert cerebroprotective effects, but its specific mechanism has not been comprehensively understood. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of GSS on ischemic stroke-induced cell pyroptosis.

Article Synopsis
- The popularity of atrial catheter ablation has surged as a leading treatment for supraventricular tachycardias, praised for its safety and effectiveness.
- Complications can occur at various stages, including vascular, thromboembolic, and mechanical issues, with atrial fibrillation ablation being notably riskier due to its complexity.
- Strategies to minimize risks involve advanced techniques like optimized anticoagulation and esophageal temperature monitoring, while emerging methods like pulsed-field ablation show promise for improved safety, pending further research.
AMETIS Preplanned Ancillary Study: Impact of Agitation During Mechanical Thrombectomy Under Sedation.

Article Synopsis
- Mechanical thrombectomy is a common treatment for ischemic strokes, but sedation during the procedure can cause agitation in patients.
- This study, part of the AMETIS research, evaluated patients who experienced agitation and found that 38% had at least one episode during the procedure.
- Although agitation didn’t significantly affect thrombolysis scores or overall outcomes, it did correlate with a higher need for intubation and poorer radiological image quality.
