Download or read book Neuroinflammation in Stroke written by Ulrich Dirnagl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The successful treatment of acute stroke remains one of the major challenges in clinical medicine. Over the last decades, the understanding of stroke pathophysiology has greatly improved, while the therapeutic options in stroke therapy remain very limited. Today, hyperacute mechanisms of damage, such as excitotoxicity, can be discriminated from delayed ones, such as inflammation and apoptosis. Targeting of inflammation has already been successfully applied in various stroke models, but translation into a clinically efficacious strategy has not been achieved so far. In this book, leading experts in basic cerebrovascular research as well as stroke treatment review the current evidence for and against an important role for inflammation in stroke, and explore the potential of treating or modulating inflammation in stroke therapy.
Download or read book Proteomic Analysis of Ischemic Stroke Blood Biomarkers written by April Arnold Daubenspeck and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stroke is a global burden that claims 6 million lives and permanently disables another 5 million each year. The risk of morbidity and mortality following stroke decreases when early diagnosis and treatment are achieved. However there is no blood test to diagnose ischemic stroke because biomarkers to date have not shown adequate sensitivity and specificity to be adopted into hospital protocols. The overall objective of this dissertation was to identify novel blood protein biomarkers of ischemic stroke. We achieved this by using a number of proteomic and statistical techniques to investigate the differential abundance of proteins in the blood of stroke and non-stroke groups. We identified four high-abundance serum proteins differentially expressed between the ischemic brain of stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy and the same patient's circulating arterial blood. Three proteins were significantly higher in the circulating blood, and a fourth protein had a large fold change in abundance in the ischemic blood of a few patients. We then identified an additional fourteen serum proteins with significant differences between the venous blood of stroke patients and that of healthy individuals. To expand these findings in a more clinically relevant patient group, protein concentrations for these eighteen individual proteins were evaluated in stroke patients and patients with stroke-mimicking symptoms. Separate analysis of each protein revealed a low diagnostic accuracy. A new analysis was therefore initiated to compare the concentrations of 1310 serum proteins in stroke patients and stroke-mimicking patients. We identified 27 additional proteins that were significantly different between stroke and stroke-mimicking patient groups, and used machine learning to determine combinations of these proteins that could constitute a stroke biomarker panel. Random Forest Analysis identified three protein panels which differentiated stroke from non-stroke groups. Thus, consistent with previous research, we did not find an individual blood protein that was likely to be clinically useful as a diagnostic biomarker. However, three protein biomarker panels successfully differentiated stroke patients from stroke-mimicking patients which may lead to the development of a validated point-of-care diagnostic test.

Book excerpt: An account of the neurobiology of motor recovery in the arm and hand after stroke by two experts in the field. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults and recovery is often difficult, with existing rehabilitation therapies largely ineffective. In Broken Movement, John Krakauer and S. Thomas Carmichael, both experts in the field, provide an account of the neurobiology of motor recovery in the arm and hand after stroke. They cover topics that range from behavior to physiology to cellular and molecular biology. Broken Movement is the only accessible single-volume work that covers motor control and motor learning as they apply to stroke recovery and combines them with motor cortical physiology and molecular biology. The authors cast a critical eye at current frameworks and practices, offer new recommendations for promoting recovery, and propose new research directions for the study of brain repair. Krakauer and Carmichael discuss such subjects as the behavioral phenotype of hand and arm paresis in human and non-human primates; the physiology and anatomy of the motor system after stroke; mechanisms of spontaneous recovery; the time course of early recovery; the challenges of chronic stroke; and pharmacological and stem cell therapies. They argue for a new approach in which patients are subjected to higher doses and intensities of rehabilitation in a more dynamic and enriching environment early after stroke. Finally they review the potential of four areas to improve motor recovery: video gaming and virtual reality, invasive brain stimulation, re-opening the sensitive period after stroke, and the application of precision medicine.

Download or read book INFLAMMATORY AND HEMOSTASIS BLOOD BIOMARKERS PREDICT THE CLINICAL OUTCOME OF STROKE PATIENTS TREATED BY THROMBOLYSIS THROMBECTOMY written by S andrine Delbosc and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction In ischemic stroke, the lack of blood flow triggers local inflammation and vascular injury, which further promotes tissue remodeling and angiogenesis. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether biomarkers of inflammation, hemostasis, vascular injury, and tissue remodeling measured in the plasma of stroke patients could stratify stroke patients concerning their clinical outcome. MethodsWe included 153 patients consecutively admitted for ischemic stroke treated by thrombolysis with or without thrombectomy. Blood was sampled at admission and 21 biomarkers related to inflammation (MPO, Osteopontin, CCL2/MCP-1, Adiponectin, Resistin, CD40L), hemostasis (uPA/Urokinase, alpha 2-macroglobulin, Serpin C1/Antithrombin-III, Serpin E1/PAI-1, Kallikrein 6/Neurosin, CD40L), endothelium activation (VCAM-1, ICAM-1 , CD31/PECAM-1, CD40L, Neuropilin-1), and tissue remodeling (Osteopontin, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, Cathepsin S, Cystatin C, Neuropilin-1) were assayed by a quantitative Luminex multiplex technic. ResultsPatients with higher NIHSS at admission presented higher levels of the inflammatory biomarker MPO, the hemostasis biomarker uPA/Urokinase and the endothelial activation biomarker VCAM. Logistic regression analyses correlated levels of uPA/Urokinase to NIHSS at arrival (p=0.0037), suggesting the major role of hemostasis in initial stroke gravitymRS>1 at 3 months was correlated to higher levels of MPO, the endothelial activation biomarkers ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and the tissue remodeling biomarkers Osteopontin, Cathepsine S, and lower levels of MMP-13. Logistic regression analyses correlated mRS 0-1 at three months to levels of Cathepsine S (p=0.0201) and VCAM-1 (p=0.0048). The area under ROC curve of both biomarkers was 0.75. Symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, defined according to ECASS-3 criteria, was correlated to MMP-9 (p=0.0382)ConclusionsAs expected, initial NIHSS was related to early hemostasis response. Importantly, initial inflammatory response, endothelial activation and tissue remodeling biomarkers significantly impact the three-month outcome and the hemorrhagic transformation.
