Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease that causes morbidity and mortality. Malnutrition following ischemic stroke is common in stroke patients. During the rehabilitation, the death rates of stroke patients are significantly increased due to malnutrition. Nutritional supplements such as protein, vitamins, fish, fish oils, moderate wine or alcohol consumption, nuts, minerals, herbal products, food colorants, marine products, fiber, probiotics and Mediterranean diets have improved neurological functions in stroke patients as well as their quality of life. Platelets and their mediators contribute to the development of clots leading to stroke. Ischemic stroke patients are treated with thrombolytics, antiplatelets, and antithrombotic agents. Several systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials recommended that consumption of these nutrients and diets mitigated the vascular, peripheral, and central complications associated with ischemic stroke (Fig. 2). Particularly, these nutraceuticals mitigated the platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation that intended to reduce the risks of primary and secondary stroke. Although these nutraceuticals mitigate platelet dysfunction, there is a greater risk of bleeding if consumed excessively. Moreover, malnutrition must be evaluated and adequate amounts of nutrients must be provided to stroke patients during intensive care units and rehabilitation periods. In this review, we have summarized the importance of diet and nutraceuticals in ameliorating neurological complications and platelet dysfunction with an emphasis on primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the association between dietary Se intake and CVD risk in Chinese adults. DESIGN This prospective cohort study included adults above 20 years old in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), and they were followed up from 1997 to 2015 (n 16 030). Dietary data were retrieved from CHNS, and a 3-d, 24-h recall of food intake was used to assess the cumulative average intake of dietary Se, which was divided into quartiles. The Cox proportional hazards model was adopted to analyse the association between dietary Se intake and incident CVD risk. SETTING CHNS (1991, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2015). RESULTS A total of 663 respondents developed CVD after being followed up for a mean of 9·9 years (median 9 years). The incidence of CVD was 4·3, 3·7, 4·6 and 4·0 per 1000 person-years across the quartiles of cumulative Se intake. After adjusting all potential factors, no significant associations were found between cumulative Se intake and CVD risk. No interactions were found between Se intake and income, urbanisation, sex, region, weight, hypertension and CVD risk. CONCLUSION We found no association between dietary Se and CVD.

Abstract
Neurological disorders incidences are increasing drastically due to complex pathophysiology, and the nonavailability of disease-modifying agents. Several attempts have been made to identify new potential chemicals to combat these neurological abnormalities. At present, complete abolishment of neurological diseases is not attainable except for symptomatic relief. However, dietary recommendations to help brain development or improvement have increased over the years. In recent times, cruciferous vegetables and their phytochemicals have been identified from preclinical and clinical investigations as potential neuroprotective agents. The present review highlights the beneficial effects and molecular mechanisms of phytochemicals such as indole-3-carbinol, diindolylmethane, sulforaphane, kaempferol, selenium, lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamins of cruciferous vegetables against neurological diseases including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, Huntington's disease, autism spectra disorders, anxiety, depression, and pain. Most of these cruciferous phytochemicals protect the brain by eliciting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic properties. Regular dietary intake of cruciferous vegetables may benefit the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases. The present review suggests that there is a lacuna in identifying the clinical efficacy of these phytochemicals. Therefore, high-quality future studies should firmly establish the efficacy of the above-mentioned cruciferous phytochemicals in clinical settings.

Abstract
Aim The epidemiological evidence regarding the impact of dietary selenium intake on hypertension continues to be a subject of controversy. Our objective is to examine the correlation between dietary selenium intake and the prevalence of hypertension within a substantial and diverse population in the United States. Methods We carried out a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to assess the association between dietary selenium intake and hypertension prevalence. Weight logistic regression analysis and smooth curve fitting were utilized to explore potential linear relationships. Subgroup analysis was further employed to investigate potential differences in this relationship across populations and assess potential synergies. Results The study included 32,928 individuals, and the average dietary selenium intake was 1.12 ± 0.53 μg. The prevalence rate of hypertension was 36.55% overall and decreased with the higher dietary selenium intake quartiles (quartiles 1, 40.25%; quartiles 2, 37.71%; quartiles 3, 36.04%, quartiles 4, 32.23%, p < 0.001). Each quartile increase in dietary selenium intake associated with 11% decreased the likelihood of prevalence of hypertension [OR = 0.89; 95% CI: 0.80-1.00; p = 0.0425]. Subgroup analyses revealed that there was no significant correlation between gender, age, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and diabetes mellitus in relation to the association between dietary selenium intake and the prevalence of hypertension. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension in adults was found to be linearly and negatively correlated with dietary selenium intake. In order to improve the prevention and treatment of hypertension, greater emphasis should be placed on selenium consumption.

Abstract
Previously, insulin resistance and hepatic oxidative stress with increased expressions of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) 1 and selenoprotein P (SelP) were induced in NSY mice, a diabetic mouse model, by administrating a high fat diet (HFD) and seleno-L-methionine (SeMet) for 12 weeks. In this study we developed an analysis method for serum selenoproteins using LC-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and investigated the effects of supplementary selenium on serum concentrations of selenoproteins as well as protein expression in skeletal muscle as a major insulin target tissue under the same experimental condition. The glucose area under the curves for oral glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance tests indicated that the HFD induced insulin resistance, whereas the treatment of SeMet + HFD showed insignificant promotion compared with the HFD-induced insulin resistance. Although the expressions of GPx1 in gastrocnemius and soleus were not significantly induced by supplementary SeMet nor HFD administration, the expressions of SelP in both skeletal muscles were significantly induced by the treatment of SeMet + HFD. There were also significant increases in serum concentrations of SelP by supplementary SeMet + HFD administration, whereas GPx3 was augmented by supplementary SeMet only. These results indicated that the HFD intake under the sufficient selenium status augmented the blood secretion of SelP, which may participate in the reduction of insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscles as well as liver or adipose tissues, and it is a better indicator of deterioration than GPx3 as it is a major selenoprotein in serum.

Abstract
The composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) is indeed a valuable nutritional tool used to evaluate the overall antioxidant capacity of an individual's daily food consumption. The CDAI was calculated from the intake of six antioxidant components in the diet, including vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, carotenoids, selenium, and zinc. This study aimed to determine the association between CDAI and stroke. Utilizing data from the 2003-2018 NHANES dataset, CDAI was computed by summarizing the intake of six dietary antioxidants based on 24-hour dietary recall interviews. The relationship between CDAI and stroke was examined using multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis. This study ultimately included 39,432 participants, of whom 1,527 (3.87%) had a stroke. The multivariate logistic regression model 3 that fully adjusted all confounding variables showed a negative association between CDAI and stroke (OR = 0.97; 95% CI:0.95, 0.99). The highest tertile of CDAI saw a 23% drop in the prevalence of stroke compared to the lowest tertile (OR = 0.77; 95%CI: 0.64,0.92). Restricted cubic spline suggested that this negative correlation was nonlinear with an inflection point of -2.99. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests showed that this negative correlation was more applicable in patients with prediabetes (P < 0.05). There was a non-linear negative correlation between CDAI level and stroke prevalence, and this correlation was more significant in people with pre-diabetes. Appropriate CDAI levels may contribute to the management of stroke risk.

Abstract
Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally. Cognitive dysfunction is a common complication of stroke, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life. Previous studies have shown that the expression of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation (HCN) channel is closely related to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and subsequent cognitive impairment. We also found that ZD7288, a specific inhibitor of the HCN channel, attenuated IR injury during short-term reperfusion. Since apoptosis can induce cell necrosis and aggravate cognitive impairment after IR, the purpose of this study is to define whether ZD7288 could improve cognitive impairment after prolonged cerebral reperfusion in rats by regulating apoptotic pathways. Our data indicated that ZD7288 can ameliorate spatial cognitive behavior and synaptic plasticity, protect the morphology of hippocampal neurons, and alleviate hippocampal apoptotic cells in IR rats. This effect may be related to down-regulating the expressions of pro-apoptotic proteins such as AIF, p53, Bax, and Caspase-3, and increasing the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax. Taken together, it suggested that inhibition of the HCN channel improves cognitive impairment after IR correlated with its regulation of apoptotic pathways.

Abstract
Background The oxidative balance score (OBS) can be used to represent the overall burden of oxidative stress in an individual. This study aimed to explore the association between the risk of stroke and OBS. Methods and materials The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018 was used to extract a series of variables for participants who took the stroke questionnaire. The construction of OBS relied on diet and lifestyle components, which included 16 nutrients and 4 lifestyle factors. Weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was performed to investigate the association between stroke risk and OBS. A stratified analysis was also conducted. The dose-response relationship between stroke risk and OBS was elucidated by performing a restricted cubic spline function. Results A total of 20,680 participants were included for analysis, 768 of whom suffered from stroke. Based on weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis, we discovered that the stroke prevalence decreased by 2% for each OBS unit added [OR: 0.98 (0.97-1.00), P < 0.01]. For the OBS subgroup, we also discovered that higher OBS was related to a reduction in the risk of stroke [Q4 vs. Q1: OR:0.65 (0.46-0.90), P < 0.01]. The prevalence of stroke declined by 3% with every OBS unit added to the diet component [OR: 0.97 (0.96-0.99), P < 0.01]. For the dietary OBS subgroup, higher OBS in diet components was associated with a decrease in the prevalence of stroke [Q4 vs. Q1: OR: 0.65, (0.47-0.91), P < 0.05]. Further stratified analysis showed that every OBS unit raised was associated with a decline in stroke prevalence, which was statistically significant in participants in subgroups of ≥60 years, female, no-diabetes mellitus and no-hypertension. OBS and stroke prevalence were correlated in a linear manner. Conclusion The study found that a higher OBS was associated with a decrease in stroke prevalence, which could be a significant indicator for evaluating stroke risk.

Abstract
Background Dietary interventions for migraine are receiving increasing attention. However, it remains unclear whether there is any relationship between migraine and selenium intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between selenium intake and migraine. Methods We used multivariate logistic regression equations to explore the association between selenium intake and migraine. Restricted cubic splines were used to examine the presence of non-linear relationships. Upon finding a non-linear relationship, a recursive algorithm was used to calculate the inflection point. Population differences were also explored through stratified analysis. Results In the model adjusted for all covariates, the ORs (95% CI) for the association between selenium intake and migraine were 0.96 (0.88, 1.04), which was no statistical significance. However, the result of the linear trend test with quadrilles of selenium intake indicated the association between selenium intake and migraine may be non-linear. The restricted cubic splines confirmed this non-linear relationship, finding an inflection point (93.1 mcg/day), where the odds of migraine decreased with increasing selenium intake before the inflection point, and no statistically significant relationship was found after the inflection point. The association between selenium intake and migraine was non-linear in all strata except the obese. Conclusion We found a non-linear association between selenium intake and migraine in the general American population.

Abstract
Despite progress in reperfusion therapy, functional recovery remains suboptimal in many stroke patients, with oxidative stress, inflammation, dysbiosis, and secondary neurodegeneration constituting the major hurdles to recovery. The essential trace element selenium is emerging as a promising therapeutic agent for stroke. However, although several rodent studies have shown that selenium can protect against cell loss following cerebral ischemia, no study has yet examined whether selenium can enhance long-term functional recovery. Moreover, published studies have typically reported a single mechanism of action underlying selenium-mediated stroke recovery. However, we propose that selenium is more likely to have multifaceted actions. Here, we show that selenomethionine confers a potent neuroprotective effect in a canonical filament-induced transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) mouse model. Post-tMCAO selenium treatment significantly reduces the cerebral infarct volume, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis and enhances post-tMCAO motor performance in the acute phase after stroke. Moreover, analysis of the gut microbiota reveals that acute selenium treatment reverses stroke-induced gut dysbiosis. Longer-term selenium supplementation activates intrinsic neuroprotective mechanisms, prevents secondary neurodegeneration, alleviates systemic inflammation, and diminishes gut microbe-derived circulating trimethylamine N-oxide. These findings demonstrate that selenium treatment even after cerebral ischemia has long-term and multifaceted neuroprotective effects, highlighting its clinical potential.

Zhang P, Xie X, Zhang Y. Associations between homocysteine and B vitamins and stroke: a cross-sectional study. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1184141. [PMID: 37456629 PMCID: PMC10339286 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1184141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Homocysteine (Hcy) is a predictor for stroke. B vitamins are required for the metabolism of Hcy. We designed a study to investigate the associations of plasma Hcy and B vitamins with the prevalence of stroke in adults. Methods A total of 8,371 adults were included in the National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2003-2006 in the United States. Multivariate regression analysis and smooth curve fitting were conducted to evaluate the associations of stroke prevalence with Hcy, folate, vitamin B6, and B12. A segmented regression model was used to analyze the threshold effects. Sample weights were calculated to ensure the results' generalizability. Results The mean age of all participants was 46.43 years (51.8% women), and the prevalence of stroke was 2.72%. A nonlinear and positive association was found between plasma Hcy levels and the prevalence of stroke. Furthermore, L-shaped associations were found between plasma vitamin B6 and folate levels and stroke, with the turning point at 65.2 nmol/L for vitamin B6 and 26 nmol/L for folate, respectively. Vitamin B12 revealed a U-shaped relationship with stroke, with the turning points at 492.98 pmol/L for vitamin B12. Conclusion Non-linear associations of plasma Hcy and B vitamins levels with stroke prevalence were found in American adults. These associations may have an implication that higher plasma Hcy levels should be reduced, and plasma vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate levels should be moderately improved in stroke prevention. Future studies are needed to verify the causality of these associations and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

[PMID: 36699906 PMCID: PMC9869146 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.1115908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background As an essential trace element in the body, selenium is associated with the development of many diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between dietary selenium intake and new-onset stroke risk in Chinese adults. Methods Adults aged ≥18 years in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) from 2004 to 2015 were enrolled. Participants were divided into five groups according to the quintile of dietary selenium intake: Q1 (≤ 29.80 μg/day), Q2 (29.80-38.53 μg/day), Q3 (38.53-47.23 μg/day), Q4 (47.23-60.38 μg/day), Q 5(>60.38 μg/day). Cox proportional-hazards model was used to explore the effect of dietary selenium on new-onset stroke. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to visualize the dose-response relationship between dietary selenium and the risk of morbidity. Results A total of 11,532 subjects were included, and 271 (2.35%) of them developed stroke during a mean follow-up of 6.78 person-years. Compared with the lowest selenium intake group, the HR and 95%CI of stroke in the participants with selenium intake of Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q5 were: 0.85 (0.59, 1.21), 0.62 (0.42, 0.92), 0.43 (0.28, 0.68), 0.49 (0.30, 0.82), respectively. There was an L-shaped relationship between dietary selenium and stroke (nonlinear P-value = 0.0420). The HR and 95%CI of developing stroke was 0.75 (0.65, 0.87) in participants with selenium intake ≤ 60 μg/day. Conclusions The L-shaped negative association between dietary selenium and stroke in Chinese adults which indicated that dietary selenium should be improved to a certain level to prevent stroke.

Abstract
Background Children and adolescents increasingly commonly suffer from obesity and headache. It has been confirmed that there is an association between obesity and headache in adults; however, evidence of such an association in paediatric populations is still controversial. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between obesity and headache among children and adolescents in the US. Methods The cross-sectional data of 3948 participants were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004. Weighted logistic regression models were applied to investigate the association between obesity and headache. Subgroup analysis stratified by sex and age was performed to explore the potential difference in the association of paediatric obesity with headache. The performance of paediatric obesity on headache was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The present study involved 3948 participants, of whom 713 (18.1%) had headache. Compared to those without headache, participants with headache tended to be girls and adolescents, have less calcium intake, and have higher levels of body mass index (BMI), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum ferritin and triglycerides (TGs) (all P < 0.05). After fully adjusting for potential confounders, the ORs with 95% CIs for headache were 1.03 (0.58-1.54) and 1.25 (0.68-2.30) for overweight and obese participants in comparison with normal-weight controls, respectively, implying no association of paediatric obesity with headache independent of other potential confounding factors. In addition, although higher odds of headache were noted in girls and adolescents (aged 10-17 years), no statistically significant difference was found across any subgroups. The area under the ROC (AUC) of paediatric obesity on headache was 0.634. Conclusions In summary, our study indicated that obesity is not associated with headache among US children and adolescents. Further prospective studies with larger sample size are needed to validate our findings.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:21821-21826. [PMID: 36043080 PMCID: PMC9358677 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra01882a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Axitinib is a potent vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor, which has a strong inhibitory effect on the three isoforms of VEGFR 1-3. Having strong therapeutic efficacy, its broad use is limited by its side effects such as hypertension, proteinuria, cardiovascular damage, and liver and kidney dysfunction. Selenium compounds are broadly reported to have a good protective effect on cardiovascular disease, inflammation, infection, and immune function. In this study, a selenium substitute of axitinib was synthesized, and its anti-renal cell carcinoma activity and side effects were investigated. The results of the study indicated that Se-axitinib had potent antitumor activity on renal cell carcinoma (RCC), alleviated vascular hyperpermeability, and also alleviated axitinib-related side effects including hypertension, liver dysfunction and kidney dysfunction significantly. Therefore, we suggest that Se-axitinib could be a solution to the severe side effects of VEGFR inhibitors and provide evidence to improve the outcome of RCC treatment.
