Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia and is characterized by progressive degeneration of brain function. AD gradually affects the parts of the brain that control thoughts, language, behavior and mental function, severely impacting a person's ability to carry out daily activities and ultimately leading to death. The accumulation of extracellular amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) and the aggregation of intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau are the two key pathological hallmarks of AD. AD is a complex condition that involves both non-genetic risk factors (35%) and genetic risk factors (58-79%). The glymphatic system plays an essential role in clearing metabolic waste, transporting tissue fluid, and participating in the immune response. Both non-genetic and genetic risk factors affect the glymphatic system to varying degrees. The main purpose of this review is to summarize the underlying mechanisms involved in the deregulation of the glymphatic system during the progression of AD, especially concerning the diverse contributions of non-genetic and genetic risk factors. In the future, new targets and interventions that modulate these interrelated mechanisms will be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Abstract
Systemic growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) treatment improves the vasculature in the hippocampus and cortex in mice in recent studies. However, systemic application of recombinant GDF11 (rGDF11) cannot cross the brain blood barrier (BBB). Thus, large doses and long-term administration are required, while systemically applied high-dose rGDF11 is associated with deleterious effects, such as severe cachexia. This study tested whether in situ low dosage rGDF11 (1 μg/kg) protects the brain against ischemic stroke and it investigated the underlying mechanisms. Fibrin glue mixed with rGDF11 was applied to the surgical cortex for the slow release of rGDF11 in mice after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). In situ rGDF11 improved cerebral infarction and sensorimotor function by upregulating Smad2/3 and downregulating FOXO3 expression. In situ rGDF11 was associated with reductions in protein and lipid oxidation, Wnt5a, iNOS and COX2 expression, at 24 h after injury. In situ rGDF11 protected hippocampal neurons and subventricular neural progenitor cells against MCAO injury, and increased newborn neurogenesis in the peri-infarct cortex. Systematic profiling and qPCR analysis revealed that Pax5, Sox3, Th, and Cdk5rap2, genes associated with neurogenesis, were increased by in situ rGDF11 treatment. In addition, greater numbers of newborn neurons in the peri-infarct cortex were observed with in situ rGDF11 than with systemic application. Our evidence indicates that in situ rGDF11 effectively decreases the extent of damage after ischemic stroke via antioxidative, anti-inflammatory and proneurogenic activities. We suggest that in situ slow-release rGDF11 with fibrin glue is a potential therapeutic approach against ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Ischaemic stroke is accompanied by important alterations of cardiac autonomic control, which have an impact on stroke outcome. In sleep, cardiac autonomic control oscillates with a predominant sympathetic modulation during REM sleep. We aimed to assess cardiac autonomic control in different sleep stages in patients with ischaemic stroke. Forty-five patients enrolled in the prospective, multicentre SAS-CARE study but without significant sleep-disordered breathing (apnea-hypopnea index < 15/hr) and without atrial fibrillation were included in this analysis. The mean age was 56 years, 68% were male, 76% had a stroke (n = 34, mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score of 5, 11 involving the insula) and 24% (n = 11) had a transitory ischaemic attack. Cardiac autonomic control was evaluated using three different tools (spectral, symbolic and entropy analysis) according to sleep stages on short segments of 250 beats in all patients. Polysomnographic studies were performed within 7 days and 3 months after the ischaemic event. No significant differences in cardiac autonomic control between sleep stages were observed in the acute phase and after 3 months. Predominant vagal modulation and decreased sympathetic modulation were observed across all sleep stages in ischaemic stroke involving the insula. Patients with ischaemic stroke and transitory ischaemic attack present a loss of cardiac autonomic dynamics during sleep in the first 3 months after the ischaemic event. This change could represent an adaptive phenomenon, protecting the cardiovascular system from the instabilities of autonomic control, or a risk factor for stroke, which precedes the ischaemic event.

Abstract
Although early reperfusion therapy is effective for acute ischemic stroke, limited therapeutic time-window resulted in only 10% of patients receiving reperfusion therapy. A fast and reliable stroke detection method is desired so that patients can receive early reperfusion therapy. It has been reported that ischemic stroke affects heart rate variability (HRV), which reflects activities of the autonomic nervous function. Thus, ischemic stroke may be detected at an acute stage through monitoring HRV. This paper proposes an HRV-based ischemic stroke detection algorithm by using multivariate statistical process control (MSPC), which is a well-known anomaly detection algorithm. As a feasibility study before collecting a large amount of clinical data from human patients, this paper used the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in rats for collecting HRV data shortly after ischemic stroke onsets. The 11 MCAO-operated rats and 11 sham-operated rats were prepared, and HRV data of three sham-operated rats were used for model construction. The data on the other 19 rats were used for its validation. The experimental result showed that sensitivity and specificity of the proposed algorithm were 82% and 75%, respectively. Thus, the present work shows the possibility of realizing an HRV-based ischemic stroke detection system for human patients.
