Abstract
The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the use of antiplatelet medication in neurointervention, with a focus on the clinical indications for antiplatelet use in both preventing and reducing platelet aggregation. This review will cover current antiplatelet medications, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. We will provide an overview of different endovascular devices and discuss the antiplatelet regimes in neurointervention, highlighting gaps in evidence and scope for future studies.Two randomized controlled trials have evaluated antiplatelet use in the setting of acute large vessel occlusion stroke, with neither demonstrating benefit in their overall cohorts. Evidence on antiplatelet medication for both acute and elective stenting for acute stroke and treatment of cerebral aneurysms is currently based on large case series, and practice in neurointervention has increasingly utilized dual antiplatelet regimes with clopidogrel and second-line agents like prasugrel and ticagrelor. Clopidogrel function testing has an increasing role in neurointerventional procedures, particularly for high metal surface area stents such as the braided flow diverter type stents. Intravenous glycoprotein IIB/IIIA inhibitors have been utilized for both acute bridging and rescue therapy.Antiplatelet decision making is complex, and there are few randomized control trials to guide clinical practice. Comparative trials to guide decision making remain important in both the acute and elective settings. Standardised protocols incorporating platelet function testing may play a role in assisting decision making until more robust clinical evidence is available, particularly in the context of acute neurointerventional stenting for stroke and ruptured cerebral aneurysms.

Abstract
Social interactions can be stressful, especially if they involve provocation or ambiguity. At the same time, such interactions necessitate social cognition. The question thus arises how stress affects social cognition and how personality attributes modulate this effect. The aim of the current study was to investigate the link between emotional reactivity, physical exercise, and social cognition under stress. As a measure of social cognition, we used spontaneous perspective taking, i.e., the degree to which participants represented the mental state of another agent. Studying young female participants, we investigated how physiological regulation, measured through resting heart-rate variability, is related to spontaneous social perspective taking under stress, and to predicted anger in an ambiguous social scenario. When controlling for resting heart rate, vagally mediated heart-rate variability was negatively correlated with the effect of stress on perspective taking, indicating that good physiological regulation supports social cognition under stress. Further, participants who reported to exercise at least once a week showed higher perspective taking under stress than less active participants. Finally, we found tentative evidence for participants who exercised regularly to show reduced predicted anger in response to an ambiguous provocation. Our findings suggest that good physiological regulation and regular physical exercise support social cognition under stress.

Clinical importance of testing for clopidogrel resistance in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting-a systematic review. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:1211.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy is frequently prescribed for patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS), however clopidogrel resistance might cause thromboembolic complications. The role of testing for clopidogrel resistance in patients undergoing CAS is unclear. In this study, we aimed to review the periprocedural thromboembolic outcomes in clopidogrel resistant patients who underwent CAS. We conducted a review of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up to October 7, 2020. Studies were included that investigated at least ten patients aged 18 years or older with a symptomatic carotid artery stenosis requiring CAS. Studies were excluded that investigated patients with a carotid artery dissection, case reports, case series of less than ten patients, reviews, commentaries, letters to the editors, and conference abstracts. The primary endpoint was the incidence of thromboembolic events. One hundred seventy-seven unique articles were identified of which three studies were included in our systematic review. The sample sizes ranged from 76 to 449 patients and the follow-up duration from 24 hours to 2 years postprocedural. Two retrospective observational studies determined clopidogrel resistance using measurement of P2Y12 reaction units, and one historical cohort study used genetic testing. Two studies concluded that clopidogrel resistance was a risk factor for thromboembolic complications, the other found higher values of P2Y12 reaction units in patients with thromboembolic events compared to those without. In conclusion, current literature supports a possible relationship between clopidogrel resistance and thromboembolic complications in patients who underwent CAS. Preprocedural testing for clopidogrel resistance might therefore be of additional value. Randomized studies using a valid, reliable clopidogrel resistance test and clinical endpoints, are however required to make a definitive statement and to determine the impact of the thromboembolic complications. This study was registered within PROSPERO (CRD42020197318).

Should CYP2C19 Genotyping Be Recommended as a Straight Forward Approach to Optimize Clopidogrel Utilization in Patients with Ischemic Stroke Complicated by Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus? Pharmgenomics Pers Med 2020; 13:645-653.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been few studies on CYP2C19 genotypes and clopidogrel response associated with ischemic stroke (IS), especially IS complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the possible association between CYP2C19 polymorphisms and high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) in IS patients with T2DM in China. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 426 consecutive IS patients with T2DM were enrolled in this case-control study and they were divided into HTPR group and non-HTPR group according to the ADP-induced platelet inhibition (PIADP) assessed by thromboelastography (TEG). Genotypes were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Various clinical and demographic data were also recorded. The association between CYP2C19 genetic variants and platelet function was assessed. RESULTS Carriers of CYP2C19*2 heterozygous and mutant homozygous genotypes showed significantly lower PIADP than non-carriers (27.2% vs 38.3%, p < 0.001; 27.41% vs 38.3%, p = 0.012, respectively). Compared with the control group, the CYP2C19*2 A allele was more frequent in the HTPR group (34.51% vs 25.82%, p = 0.002). The carriage of CYP2C19*2 mutant allele was significantly associated with increased risk of HTPR (odds ratio (OR) = 1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.32-2.85). There was no significant correlation between CYP2C19*3 or *17 genotypes and HTPR risk. CONCLUSION CYP2C19*2 mutant allele was associated with attenuated platelet response to clopidogrel and increased risk of HTPR in IS patients with T2DM, suggesting that CYP2C19*2 polymorphism might be an important predictor of HTPR in this high-risk population.

PLoS One 2019; 14:e0217723. [PMID: 31166961 PMCID: PMC6550423 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0217723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2019] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The ticlopidine/Ginkgo biloba ext. combination drug (Yuclid) is used as an antiplatelet agent for prevention of vascular events since its approval in 2008. The purpose of this study is to explore the safety of ticlopidine/Ginkgo biloba combination, mainly regarding the incidence of neutropenia, through a post-marketing surveillance study. METHODS From March 2009 to October 2015, a total of 4839 subjects had been enrolled in this study. The enrollments were conducted by 152 doctors of 89 hospitals according to the regulations for post-marketing surveillance programs in Korea. If a subject was administered the drug once, he/she was included in the safety analysis set for any adverse events and bleedings, and the primary safety evaluation regarding neutropenia was conducted in subjects who completed 3-month blood test follow-up. We predefined that 1% reduction in neutropenia incidence by ticlopidine/Ginkgo biloba ext. combination from the previously reported incidence of ticlopidine of 2.3% was clinically meaningful. RESULTS Among the safety analysis set of 4831 patients (99.8% of the enrolled subjects), 3150 (65.1%) completed evaluation for neutropenia at 3 months which is the primary safety endpoint. The major causes of dropout were no follow-up visit at 3 months (n = 1016) and violation of the follow-up period (n = 503). Nine patients experienced neutropenia (Absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≤ 1200mm3) and the estimated cumulative incidence at 3 months is 0.29% (95% confidence interval, 0.13%- 0.54%). Severe neutropenia (ANC ≤ 450mm3) did not occur in any patients. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of neutropenia with addition of Ginkgo biloba ext. to ticlopidine may be lower than the previously reported incidence of neutropenia with ticlopidine, which needs to be confirmed in randomized controlled trials.
