Filter by:ORIGINS-RCE is an observational, cross-sectional, two-arm study aimed at determining if an individual's ethnic origin influences the number of blood vessel-forming stem cells in the bloodstream. Circulating progenitor cells will be enumerated and the distribution patterns of these cell types will be assessed to determine if these parameters differ between individuals of South Asian origin and European origin. Specifically, this study will evaluate if differential regenerative cell exhaustion (RCE) may account, at least in part, for the differences in cardiovascular risk reported between individuals of South Asian vs European origin.
This study is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel controlled, investigator-sponsored study that aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of Edaravone Dexborneol treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke who had received early reperfusion therapy.
There is a lack of complex studies which could establish the association between genetic circadian factors with the features and short-term outcomes of ischemic stroke, as well as the effects of various auxiliary therapies for circadian rhythm modulation for neuroplasticity enhancement and improvement of short-term outcomes in ischemic stroke. The main research hypothesis is that circadian factors influence the recovery from ischemic stroke via sleep-mediated regulation of synaptic plasticity. The project aims at the investigation of the influence of combined melatonin therapy and blue light exposure on molecular circadian biomarkers, sleep characteristics, neuroplasticity markers and stroke outcome in acute stroke patients. This study is a prospective, interventional, randomized placebo-controlled trial.
The study aimed to access the microvascular changes in the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) in patients with ischemic stroke and its different types using optical coherence tomography angiography.
The study is aimed at the investigation of the association of biomarkers of circadian rhythms with sleep characteristics and stroke outcome in acute stroke patients. It is designed as an observational cohort study with the retrospective and prospective longitudinal arms.
Multicenter, randomized, double blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled proof of concept study evaluating efficacy and safety of BP1.3656 in patients with fatigue following ischemic stroke.
Ischemic stroke is a common clinical disease, often accompanied by motor dysfunction and cognitive impairment. At present, clinical treatment for patients with ischemic stroke recovery is limited and ineffective. The emergence of NGF has surprised the field of neurorehabilitation, but the clinical effect is not satisfactory. The main problem is that NGF is a macromolecular material with a molecular weight of 13.4 KD, which is difficult to penetrate the blood brain barrier. A large number of previous studies in our team have found that electroacupuncture with specific stimulation mode can open the blood brain barrier and induce NGF into the brain。Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of specific stimulation mode electroacupuncture combined with NGF treatment together with rehabilitation training on patients with ischemic stroke recovery period and to explore the mechanism of this combination therapy to improve brain function, which creates a new method and theoretical basis for nerve rehabilitation of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Several studies suggest that advanced multi-modal imaging with CTP should be used to screen late time window stroke patients for thrombectomy. However, NCCT is more accessible when comparing with CTP. It is unclear whether the NCCT-based ASPECTS can be used as an imaging criterion to screen patients for thrombectomy. The newly published MR CLEAN-LATE and TENSION trials used NCCT or CTA, but still relied on ASPECTS scores to evaluate and select patients for endovascular therapy. However, different trials have different time windows. The aim of this trial was to assess the clinical outcomes of stroke patients with anterior large vessel occlusion who selected by simple imaging (NCCT) comparing via standard imaging screening strategy (CTP/MRI). The hypothesis is that simple imaging is non-inferior to standard imaging selection strategy in terms of achieving favorable outcomes.
Stroke is the second largest cause of death globally after ischemic heart disease.Of the total number of prevalent strokes, 84.4% are ischemic. Reperfusion therapy is the most important treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) ,including intravenous thrombolysis and/or endovascular treatment.However,the most serious and common complication with reperfusion therapy is hemorrhage transformation(HT),which significantly increases disability and mortality. The fundamental mechanism leading to post-stroke HT is the disruption of the blood brain barrier(BBB) and increase of permeability.Endocan plays a critical role in vascular inflammatory responses by enhances the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by endothelial cells,the expression of adhesion molecules such as inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1),and the adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells. Endocan significantly decreases levels of zonula occludens（ZO-1) and occludin which are tight junction proteins that play major roles in the maintenance of vascular barriers. Endocan could induce vascular endothelial growth factor-A(VEGF-A) and facilitate the binding of VEGF-A to its receptor(VEGFR-2) to enhanced endothelial permeability.Therefore,endocan is a reliable biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, which may be associated with disruption of the BBB. In this context, the investigators hypothesized that elevated pretreatment serum endocan levels might be independently associated with HT after reperfusion therapy in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. Serum endocan,ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) levels will be determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in blood samples obtained at baseline (pretreatment) and at 12,24 hours after reperfusion therapy in patients with acute stroke and in healthy subjects.In the present study,the investigators attempt to investigate whether high levels of endocan are associated with HT in patients who received reperfusion therapy.In addition,the investigators explore the association between serum endocan and early neurological deterioration and unfavourable short-term prognosis.
