Engeletin protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by modulating the VEGF/vasohibin and Ang-1/Tie-2 pathways

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (10), 2021
Engeletin is a natural derivative of Smilax glabra rhizomilax that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and suppresses lipid peroxidation. In the present study, we sought to elucidate the mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective and pro-angiogenic activity of engeltin in a human umbilical vein endothelia...

Neuroprotective effects of zonisamide on cerebral ischemia injury via inhibition of neuronal apoptosis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (4), 2021
It is known that neuronal apoptosis contributes to pathology of cerebral ischemia injury. Zonisamide (ZNS) has shown anti-apoptosis effects in recent studies. The present study investigated whether the anti-apoptotic effect can account for the neuroprotective action of ZNS on cerebral ischemia. Neuronal ...

Decompressive craniectomy versus conservative treatment: limits and possibilities in malignant stroke

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (6), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) occurs in a subgroup of patients with ischemic stroke and early decompressive craniectomy (DC) is one of its treatments. Objective: To investigate the functional outcome of patients with malignant ischemic stroke treated wi...

Ataque cerebrovascular isquémico agudo de territorio anterior: Tratamiento endovascular
Acute ischemic stroke in anterior territory: endovascular treatment

Medicina (B.Aires); 80 (3), 2020
La terapia endovascular (TEV) es el tratamiento estándar del ataque cerebrovascular isquémico (ACVi) con oclusión de gran vaso (OGVC). Aún no se conoce si esos resultados pueden generalizarse a la práctica diaria. Se describen los resultados de la TEV en pacientes con ACVi por OGVC dentro de las 24 ...

Development of a three-channel automatic climbing training system for rat rehabilitation after ischemic stroke

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (7), 2020
This paper reports the development of a three-channel automatic speed-matching climbing training system that could train three rats at the same time for rehabilitation after an ischemic stroke. An infrared (IR) remote sensor was installed at the end of each channel to monitor the real-time position of a ...

Analysis of Caspase-9 protein and microRNAs miR-21, miR-126 and miR-155 related to the apoptosis mechanism in the cerebellum of rats submitted to focal cerebral ischemia associated with an alcoholism model

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (10), 2019
ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the cerebellum of rats submitted to an experimental focal cerebral ischemia, by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 90 minutes, followed by reperfusion for 48 hours, associated with an alcoholism model. Methods Fifty adult Wistar rats were used, subdivided into fiv...

Trombolisis endovenosa post reversión de acenocumarol con complejo de protrombina: caso clínico

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (7), 2019
We report an 89-year-old male under oral anticoagulant therapy with a therapeutic international normalized ratio, presenting at the emergency room with right side hemiparesis and aphasia. Neuroimaging was compatible with an acute middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke. Anticoagulation was reverted with t...

Accidente cerebrovascular embólico secundario a fibroelastoma papilar de válvula mitral

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (2), 2019
Embolic stroke secondary to cardiac tumors is uncommon. However, 25-30% of cardiac tumors may cause systemic emboli. We report a 29-year-old male consulting for a sudden episode of aphasia and right hemiparesis, compatible with infarct of the left middle cerebral artery territory. Transthoracic echocardi...

Effects of physical exercise on skeletal muscles of rats with cerebral ischemia

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (12), 2019
Physical exercise is a known preventive and therapeutic alternative for several cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the motor performance and histomorphometry of the biceps brachii, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles of rats submitted to a treadmill ...
