Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibited remarkable therapeutic potential in ischemic stroke due to their exceptional immunomodulatory ability and paracrine effect; they have also been regarded as excellent neuroprotectant delivery vehicles with inflammatory tropism. However, the presence of high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an oxidative stress environment at the lesion site inhibits cell survival and further therapeutic effects. Using bioorthogonal click chemistry, ROS-responsive luteolin-loaded micelles were tethered to the surface of MSCs. As MSCs migrated to the ischemic brain, the micelles would achieve ROS-responsive release of luteolin to protect MSCs from excessive oxidative damage while inhibiting neuroinflammation and scavenging ROS to ameliorate ischemic stroke. This study provided an effective and prospective therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke and a framework for a stem cell-based therapeutic system to treat inflammatory cerebral diseases.

Health Services Research and Pharmacoepidemiology Unit, Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of Valencia Region (FISABIO), Avenida Cataluña, 21, 46020, Valencia, Spain.
Improvement of post-stroke outcomes relies on patient adherence and appropriate therapy maintenance by physicians. However, comprehensive evaluation of these factors is often overlooked. This study assesses secondary stroke prevention by differentiating patient adherence to antithrombotic treatments (ATT) from physician-initiated interruptions or switches.

While circular RNAs (circRNAs) exhibit lower abundance compared to corresponding linear RNAs, they demonstrate potent biological functions. Nevertheless, challenges arise from the low concentration and distinctive structural features of circRNAs, rendering existing methods operationally intricate and less sensitive. Here, we engineer an intelligent tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) possessing precise spatial pattern-recognition properties with exceptional sensing speed and sensitivity for circRNAs.

Objective: Here, we aim to investigate whether D-dimer (DD)/fibrinogen (FIB) ratio or combination of DD and FIB contribute to the prognosis of stroke and stroke subtypes.
Methods: 1413 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were recruited. We measured DD and FIB levels on admission and followed up with patients at discharge and 90-day following discharge.
Risk and Mortality of Cardiovascular Diseases in Patients with Dupuytren's Disease: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study.
Plast Reconstr Surg
December 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Background: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a type of fibroproliferative disease that involves the palmar aspect of the hand. Although many benign fibroproliferative diseases have been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, the relationship between DD and myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke has not been fully elucidated.
Methods: A total of 35,909 patients with DD and a control cohort with 1,077,270 age- and sex-matched participants from the Korean National Health Insurance database were included.
Associations of NETs with inflammatory risk and clinical predictive value in large artery atherosclerosis stroke: a prospective cohort study.

Department of Neurology, The Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Background And Objective: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) with inflammatory risk are important contributors to cardiovascular disease, but no definitive information is available in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. This study aims to investigate the association between NETs with related inflammatory biomarkers and prognosis of LAA stroke in the Chinese population.
Methods: A prospective study involving 145 LAA stroke cases and 121 healthy controls was conducted.
