Filter by:This study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, end-point blinded, randomized, parallel positive control, non-inferiority clinical trial, with a purpose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Hemo Jirui intracranial thrombus aspiration catheter system for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke by comparison with stent retriever (Solitaire FR). The trial is anticipated to last from November 2018 to May 2019, with 204 subjects recruited from 15-20 clinical trial centers in China.
To search for simple laboratory methods selecting patients with low/non-responsiveness to P2Y12 receptor antagonists.
Cerebrovascular reserve (CVR), defined as the increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF)in response to a vasodilatory stimulus, is known to reflect the compensative capacity of the brain to maintain adequate blood flow in the face of decreased perfusion due to arterial stenosis. CVR dysfunction has been identified as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke. Limb remote ischemic preconditioning （LRIC) has been suggested as a protective therapeutic modality against brain ischemia. So it is worth to detect whether LRIC can improve the CVR ability in ischemic cerebrovascular disease patients.
Two groups of subjects will be constitute: (i) patients with circumscribed brain injury (including stroke, vascular malformations, tumor or circumscribed infectious lesions) or degenerative/developmental disorders and selective cognitive disorders; (ii) healthy control subjects. The objective of this project is to evaluate specific neuropsychological deficits and apply current brain imaging techniques (anatomical, diffusion, functional, magnetic stimulation) to patients suffering from these cognitive deficits due to brain damage, in order to elucidate the brain mechanisms underlying these deficits.
We aim to make clear the impact with the mechanisms of variant pathological injuries on the outcomes of CSVD, to find independent imaging markers and establish prediction model of it.
To investigate the therapeutic effect of individualized treatment of antiplatelet in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke.
Administration of cell-free exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) can be sufficient to exert therapeutic effects of intact MSCs after brain injury. In this study we aim to assay the administration of MSC derived exosome on improvement of disability of patients with acute ischemic stroke
Objective: Referring The relation between CEA(Carotid endarterectomy) postoperative blood flow monitoring and blood pressure, and combining patient demographics and preoperative risk factors to establish an applicable individual blood pressure controlling model. By comparing with routine antihypertensive strategies through prospective randomized controlled trials , to provide the best perioperative blood pressure control standards and strategies for each patient ,thus better ensuring the safety and efficacy of CEA .
This is a prospective open enrollment biorepository to collect and evaluate blood and tissue collected during cerebrovascular procedures, which will then be used for the purposes of identifying biological markers, inflammatory cell infiltrates, and biological states in stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases in the human condition. The study population will include up to 1000 subjects with cerebrovascular disease or suspected cerebrovascular disease. Male and female participants 18 years of age and older will be enrolled. This protocol covers the procurement of biological samples from patients undergoing any cerebrovascular surgery and/or neurointerventional clinical procedure at University of Kentucky. Control participants will include patients undergoing non-emergent, elective diagnostic cerebral angiography as well as patients undergoing emergent angiogram cases. This study represents the first time that tissue, clot and blood will be evaluated for the markers, proteins, and cytokines in human subjects undergoing cerebrovascular procedures. By starting with the human condition, the investigators aim to minimize this loss in translation. Overall, this study will have a great impact on our knowledge of stroke pathology. In essence, this could fundamentally change not only how the investigators develop treatment strategies for the stroke patient population but allow us to individualize the treatment dependent on time after stroke, age, sex, and co-morbidities. Molecular techniques that are impractical when delivered systemically could be delivered locally to impede the early inflammation. This research aims to advance understanding of cerebrovascular disease and to support the development of improved therapies.
The clinical efficacy of LDL-lowering therapy have been proven with strong evidences and more emphasized. However, there are also growing concerns that high-intensity statin would be related to increased risk of adverse effects. In addition, there was an inconsistency of efficacy of statin according to ethnic population. Asian population showed more profound LDL reduction not only from high potent statin but from moderate to low potent statin. Conventional strategies for lowering LDL-cholesterol was focused on statins, therefore doubling of previously described dose of statin would be common way in patients with inadequate lowering LDL-cholesterol level. Additive ezetimibe will also an alternative strategy not only to lower LDL-cholesterol level and also to reduce the need of dosage of high-intensity statin to fulfill sufficient LDL-cholesterol lowering effect. We will evaluate whether additive ezetimibe with rosuvastatin will have comparable clinical efficacy in terms of clinical outcomes and goal attainment of LDL-C compared to rosuvastatin monotherapy.
