Background: Ischemic stroke comprises 75% of all strokes and it is associated with a great frailty and casualty rate. Certain data suggest multiple long non-coding Ribonucleic Acids (lncRNAs) assist the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic regulation of genes expressed in the CNS (Central Nervous System). However, these studies generally focus on differences in the expression patterns of lncRNAs and Messenger Ribonucleic Acids (mRNAs) in tissue samples before and after cerebral ischemic injury, ignoring the effects of age.
Methods: In this study, differentially expressed lncRNA analysis was performed based on RNAseq data from the transcriptomic analysis of murine brain microglia related to cerebral ischemia injury in mice at different ages (10 weeks and 18 months).
Results: The results showed that the number of downregulate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in aged mice was 37 less than in young mice. Among them, lncRNA Gm-15987, RP24- 80F7.5, XLOC_379730, XLOC_379726 were significantly down-regulated. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that these specific lncRNAs were mainly related to inflammation. Based on the lncRNA/mRNA coexpression network, the mRNA co-expressed with lncRNA was mainly enriched in pathways, such as immune system progression, immune response, cell adhesion, B cell activation, and T cell differentiation. Our results indicate that the downregulation of lncRNA, such as Gm-15987, RP24- 80F7.5, XLOC_379730, and XLOC_379726 in aged mice may attenuate microglial-induced inflammation via the progress of immune system progression immune response, cell adhesion, B cell activation, and T cell differentiation.
Conclusion: The reported lncRNAs and their target mRNA during this pathology have potentially key regulatory functions in the cerebral ischemia in aged mice while being important for diagnosing and treating cerebral ischemia in the elderly.

Trousseau's syndrome is a thromboembolic disorder associated with malignancies, with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage representing common central nervous system complications in patients with cancer. This report details the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma at our institution who concurrently developed cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage. We performed a comprehensive literature review in the Wanfang and PubMed databases, searching for relevant studies on Trousseau's syndrome, cerebral embolism, and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Background: Cognitive decline is a significant concern for stroke survivors, affecting their quality of life and increasing their burden on the healthcare system. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (butylphthalide) has shown efficacy in the short-term treatment of various cognitive impairments. This study evaluated the efficacy of butylphthalide in preventing cognitive decline over a 12-month period in patients with ischaemic stroke.

The main treatments in the acute phase include intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular stent-assisted vascular thrombectomy and antiplatelet therapy. Due to the limitations of the time window and the risk of early intracranial hemorrhage, finding active treatment plans is crucial for improving therapy.

Background: Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an effective intervention for restoring adequate circulatory perfusion after cardiac arrest. Ensuring high-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) before initiating Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is critical to mitigate tissue hypoxia and ischemia. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO) Goal-Directed CPR (GDCPR) on neurological function before ECMO using a retrospective case-control analysis.

Background And Purpose: We explored the impact of various craniotomy approaches on the outcomes and long-term cognitive function of microsurgical clipping for superiorly projecting anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 127 superiorly projected ACoA aneurysms underwent microsurgical clipping between January 2014 and January 2022. Patients were categorized into two types: type 1 (70 patients), characterized by the posterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (open A2 plane side), and type 2 (57 patients), characterized by the anterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (closed A2 plane side).
