Background And Aim: Salidroside (SA) is the main active component of L., with potential in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cerebral ischemia. However, its efficacy and mechanism in cerebral ischemia remain unclear, particularly regarding its effect on glutamate (Glu) metabolism. In this paper, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of SA in treating cerebral ischemia and its pharmacological mechanism.

Experimental Procedure: We studied the effects of SA on SD rats with cerebral ischemia, evaluating neurobehavior, cerebral water content, infarct size, and brain microstructure. We also assessed its impact on glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), glutamine synthetase (GS), and glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1) proteins using immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Additionally, we used SVGp12 cells to simulate cerebral ischemia and measured Glu levels and used Western blot to observe the level of GS and GLT-1.

Results: SA improved neural function, reduced infarct size, and regulated GSH and Glu levels in rats. In cell experiments, SA increased cell viability and decreased Glu concentration after ischemia induction. It also regulated the expression of GFAP, GS, and GLT-1.

Conclusion: SA alleviates cerebral ischemia-induced injury by acting on astrocytes, possibly through regulating the glutamate metabolic pathway.

Many lipid biomarkers of stroke have been identified, but the lipid metabolism in elderly patients with leukoaraiosis remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore lipid metabolic processes in stroke among leukoaraiosis patients, which could provide valuable insights for guiding future antithrombotic therapy. In a cohort of 215 individuals undergoing MRI, 13 stroke patients were matched with controls, and 48 stroke patients with leukoaraiosis were matched with 40 leukoaraiosis patients.

Heart transplantation remains the ultimate treatment strategy for neonates and children with medically refractory end-stage heart failure and utilization of donors after circulatory death (DCD) can expand th donor pool. We have previously shown that mitochondrial transplantation preserves myocardial function and viability in neonatal swine DCD hearts to levels similar to that observed in donation after brain death (DBD). Herein, we sought to investigate the transcriptomic and proteomic pathways implicated in these phenotypic changes using ex situ perfused swine hearts.

Chronic ischemia in moyamoya disease (MMD) impaired white matter microstructure and neural functional network. However, the coupling between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and functional connectivity and the association between structural and functional network are largely unknown. 38 MMD patients and 20 sex/age-matched healthy controls (HC) were included for T1-weighted imaging, arterial spin labeling imaging, resting-state functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a common and serious complication of reperfusion therapy in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). The regulation of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation to control CIRI has garnered considerable attention. The balance of iron metabolism is key to maintaining the physiological functions of microglia.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes in a propensity matched population receiving either minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) using left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) or percutaneous coronary intervention using second generation everolismus-eluting stents (DES-PCI) in patients treated for isolated proximal LAD stenosis.

Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2017, 421 patients with a nonemergency status undergoing primary isolated proximal LAD revascularization were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups: 111 patients receiving MIDCAB LITA to LAD and 310 patients receiving DES-PCI. Propensity score matching selected 111 pairs and both groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics and well balanced.
