Background And Purpose: Post-thrombectomy intracranial hemorrhages (PTIH) are dangerous complications of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) following mechanical thrombectomy. We aimed to investigate if S100b levels in AIS clots removed by mechanical thrombectomy correlated to increased risk of PTIH.
Methods: We analyzed 122 thrombi from 80 AIS patients in the RESTORE Registry of AIS clots, selecting an equal number of patients having been pre-treated or not with rtPA (40 each group). Within each subgroup, 20 patients had developed PTIH and 20 patients showed no signs of hemorrhage. Gross photos of each clot were taken and extracted clot area (ECA) was measured using ImageJ. Immunohistochemistry for S100b was performed and Orbit Image Analysis was used for quantification. Immunofluorescence was performed to investigate co-localization between S100b and T-lymphocytes, neutrophils and macrophages. Chi-square or Kruskal-Wallis test were used for statistical analysis.
Results: PTIH was associated with higher S100b levels in clots (0.33 [0.08-0.85] vs. 0.07 [0.02-0.27] mm, H1 = 6.021, = 0.014), but S100b levels were not significantly affected by acute thrombolytic treatment ( = 0.386). PTIH was also associated with patients having higher NIHSS at admission (20.0 [17.0-23.0] vs. 14.0 [10.5-19.0], H1 = 8.006, = 0.005) and higher number of passes during thrombectomy (2 [1-4] vs. 1 [1-2.5], H1 = 5.995, = 0.014). S100b co-localized with neutrophils, macrophages and with T-lymphocytes in the clots.
Conclusions: Higher S100b expression in AIS clots, higher NIHSS at admission and higher number of passes during thrombectomy are all associated with PTIH. Further investigation of S100b expression in AIS clots by neutrophils, macrophages and T-lymphocytes could provide insight into the role of S100b in thromboinflammation.

Unlabelled: Patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) often experience an abnormal hemostasis that contributes to mortality and unfavorable neurological outcomes.
Objectives: We aimed to analyze epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory factors associated with mortality in patients with STBI during the first 48 h after in-hospital admission.
Methods: We performed an observational retrospective study of STBI patients with associated extracranial trauma [defined as Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16 with an Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) head and neck ≥ 3 and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ≤ 8] admitted to a Level II trauma center over seven years (2015-2021).

The objective of this study is to investigate the protein components of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) thrombi using four-dimensional independent data acquisition (4D-DIA) proteomics and reveal the correlations between thrombotic protein components and AIS etiology. From April to September 2023, we enrolled a total of 30 patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy at our institute and were diagnosed in accordance with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA; n = 15) or cardioembolism (CE; n = 15). Thromboembolic material was collected for 4D-DIA proteomic detection.

Currently, COVID-19 is still striking after 4 years of prevalence, with millions of cases and thousands of fatalities being recorded every month. The virus can impact other major organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), cardiovascular, central nervous system, renal, and hepatobiliary systems. The resulting organ dysfunction from SARS-CoV-2 may be attributed to one or a combination of mechanisms, such as direct viral toxicity, disruptions in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), thrombosis, immune dysregulation, and ischemic injury due to vasculitis.

Objective: To demonstrate whether combining renal function status [estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)] with coagulation biomarkers [fibrinogen (Fg) and d-dimer] is more beneficial in predicting in-hospital outcomes following intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.
Methods: We studied 417 AIS patients with IVT. According to the cut-offs of coagulation biomarkers (Fg and d-dimer) and eGFR determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, the patients were divided into four groups: LFLG (low Fg and low eGFR), LFHG (low Fg and high eGFR), HFLG (high Fg and low eGFR), and HFHG (high Fg and high eGFR); or LDLG (low d-dimer and low eGFR), LDHG (low d-dimer and high eGFR), HDLG (high d-dimer and low eGFR), and HDHG (high d-dimer and high eGFR).

Objective: This research aimed to ascertain the effects of tirofiban combined with thrombus aspiration and stent thrombectomy on large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke (LVO-IS).
Methods: Sixty patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by LVO were randomized into the control group and the intervention group (n=30). Patients in the control group received thrombus aspiration combined with stent thrombectomy, while those in the intervention group were treated with tirofiban combined with thrombus aspiration and stent thrombectomy.
