Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a prevalent cerebrovascular condition associated with a high mortality rate, frequently results in neuronal apoptosis and an unfavorable prognosis. The adjunctive use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with surgical interventions exerts a therapeutic impact on SAH, potentially by facilitating apoptosis. However, the mechanism by which TCM mediates apoptosis following SAH remains unclear.

Background: Metabolism is error prone. For instance, the reduced forms of the central metabolic cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), can be converted into redox-inactive products, NADHX and NADPHX, through enzymatically catalyzed or spontaneous hydration. The metabolite repair enzymes NAXD and NAXE convert these damaged compounds back to the functional NAD(P)H cofactors.

Background: Amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), a group of neuropathological features seen in anti-amyloid immunotherapy patients, arises partly from CAA (Aβ buildup in blood vessels). Squirrel monkeys (SQMs), developing prominent age-related CAA exceeding brain Aβ, offer a unique NHP model for ARIA study. Evaluating edema-related neurobiological defects (ARIA-E) involves preferential use of T-weighted (T-w) and flow-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI while T*-weighted (T*-w) MRI is better suited for investigating iron-related pathology like microbleeds, hemorrhaging, and iron-homing in plaques.

Introduction: The venous outflow profile (VOP) is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect affecting stroke outcomes. It plays a major role in the physiopathology of acute cerebral ischemia, as it accounts for both the upstream arterial collaterals and cerebral microperfusion. This enables it to circumvent the limitations of various arterial collateral evaluation systems, which often fail to consider impaired autoregulation and its impact on cerebral blood flow at the microcirculatory levels.

The development of new AD drugs has brought unforeseen challenges that manifest as amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) appearing as vasogenic edema/effusion (ARIA-E) and cerebral microhemorrhage/hemosiderosis (ARIA-H). The prominence of CAA pathology in aged squirrel monkeys (SQMs), a New World non-human primate model, underlines the importance of advancing this unique species for use in AD and dementia research.
