Trials of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure to prevent recurrent stroke have been inconclusive. We investigated whether patients with cryptogenic and echocardiographic features representing risk would benefit from PFO or anticoagulation, as compared antiplatelet therapy.In a multicenter, randomized, open-label trial, we assigned, in 1:1:1 ratio, 16 60 years age who had recent attributed PFO, an associated atrial septal aneurysm large interatrial shunt, transcatheter plus long-term therapy...
<h3>Importance</h3> The best reperfusion strategy in patients with acute minor stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO) is unknown. Accurately predicting early neurological deterioration of presumed ischemic origin (END<sub>i</sub>) following intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) this population may help to select candidates for immediate transfer additional thrombectomy. <h3>Objective</h3> To develop validate an easily applicable predictive score END<sub>i</sub>following IVT LVO. <h3>Design,...

Products of the PLP gene, proteolipid protein and its isoform DM-20, are most abundant proteins in CNS myelin, markers oligodendrocyte, myelin-forming cell CNS. The DM-20 transcript has previously been reported to be expressed newborn oligodendrocyte progenitor cells during embryonic development. We have therefore used a cRNA probe follow, by situ hybridization, lineage DM-20-expressing were first detected at E9.5 ventricular germinal layer laterobasal plate diencephalon. At E14.5, DM-20+...
Hyperacute cerebral infarction trials require early differentiation of subtype. Our aim was to determine clinical factors predictive subtype from data collected in the hours admission. Using 1,273 patients enrolled Stroke Data Bank, stroke risk and demographic, clinical, radiological features were compared between 246 cardioembolic 113 large-vessel atherosclerotic infarcts. Bank definitions ensured more transient ischemic attacks infarcts cardiac disease infarcts, but diagnosis distinguished...
We used both the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization to search for presence of proteolipid protein (PLP) gene transcripts developing mouse. Total brain RNA extracted from 13-19-day embryos, analyzed by PCR, demonstrated a single transcript that was unambiguously identified with DM-20 mRNA. samples postnatal day 2 animals also showed signal corresponding PLP transcript, addition message. By 10-day embryos using antisense cRNA probe, we localization message restricted...
Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a large family of endopeptidases that regulate the pericellular environment through cleavage protein components extracellular matrix, membrane receptors and cytokines. MMP activity is controlled by multifunctional tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). Proteases their are critically involved in developmental pathological processes numerous organs, including brain. Global transient cerebral ischemia induces selective delayed neuronal death...
Abstract Several observations suggest that delayed neuronal death in ischaemia, epilepsy and other brain disorders includes an apoptotic component, involving programmed cell (PCD). PCD is hypothesized to result, part, from aberrant control of the cycle. Because they are instrumental mitosis, cyclins D key markers evaluate whether neurons indeed progress into cycle situations pathology. Therefore, we investigated rat brains, expression occurs following transient global ischaemia...
We investigated in vivo the expression of tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) rat CNS after kainate (KA)-induced excitotoxic seizures. In situ hybridization revealed that TIMP-1 mRNA is induced rapidly and massively most regions adult forebrain KA treatment. Neuronal activity seems to be necessary but not sufficient trigger induction, because it observed seizing 10-d-old pups, unlike what 21- 35-d-old animals The rapid induction prevented by protein synthesis cycloheximide,...
Although quite challenging, neuroprotective therapies in ischemic stroke remain an interesting strategy to counter mechanisms of injury and reduce brain tissue damage. Among potential drug, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) inhibitors represent therapeutic candidates. Increasing evidence indisputably links cell cycle CDKs CDK5 the pathogenesis stroke. recent studies have demonstrated promising efficacies pharmacological CDK related animal models, none them were however clinically relevant human...
Background and Purpose— Intensive physical therapy (PT) facilitates motor recovery when provided during a subacute stage after stroke. The efficiency of very early intensive PT has been less investigated. We aimed to investigate whether conducted within the first 2 weeks could aid control. Methods— This multicentre randomized controlled trial compared soft (20-min/d apart from respiratory needs) (idem+45 minutes exercises/day) initiated 72 hours hemispheric primary outcome was change in...
Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a rare neurogenetic disorder with diverse neuropsychiatric expression. Mutations in four genes cause autosomal dominant PFBC: SLC20A2, XPR1, PDGFB and PDGFRB. Recently, biallelic mutations the MYORG gene have been reported to PFBC an recessive pattern of inheritance. We screened 29 unrelated probands negatively for identified 11 families or novel predicted damaging variant. studied clinical radiological features 16 patients these compared them...
Background and hypothesis There is no consensus on the optimal endovascular management of extracranial internal carotid artery steno-occlusive lesion in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to tandem occlusion.
