We present a case in which cerebral infarction was seen and Behcet's syndrome was diagnosed. Following investigation and monitoring, we identified that the cause was a progressive obliterative focal arteritis of the middle cerebral artery. Such an entity has not previously been reported, although similar cases are described which explain the pathophysiology of the disorder.

Microglia M1 polarization plays important role in the development of ischemic stroke (IS). This study explored the role of transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2) in regulating microglia M1 polarization during IS. TTC staining was used to determine the cerebral infarction, and Nissl staining was applied to examine neuronal injury.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of butylphthalein injection combined with alteplase thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and its effects on lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) levels.
Methods: A total of 127 ACI patients admitted to Shandong Provincial Third Hospital between March 2020 and June 2023 were included and divided into a butylphthalein group (n = 67) and a control group (n = 60) based on their treatment regimen. All patients received basic treatment.

The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a widely-used mechanical circulatory support device that enhances hemodynamics in patients with heart conditions. Although the IABP is a common clinical tool, its effectiveness in enhancing outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock remains disputed. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of intra-aortic dual-balloon pump (IADBP) and its impact on aortic hemodynamics compared with an IABP.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage continues to cause a significant burden of morbidity and mortality despite advances in care. Trials investigating local administration of thrombolytics have reported promising results.
Objectives: - To assess the effect of thrombolysis on improving functional outcome and case fatality following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage - To determine the effect of thrombolysis on the risk of cerebral artery vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischaemia, and hydrocephalus following subarachnoid haemorrhage - To determine the risk of complications of local thrombolysis in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (last searched 9 March 2023), MEDLINE Ovid (1946 to 9 March 2023), and Embase Ovid (1974 to 9 March 2023).
Ischemic stroke (IS) often causes fearful sequela, even death. Curcumin was beneficial to IS, but its underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. Mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery, and BV-2 cells were treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) induction to establish IS models in vivo and in vitro.
