Abstract
Introduction Brain diseases, particularly the classification of gliomas and brain metastases and the prediction of HT in strokes, pose significant challenges in healthcare. Existing methods, relying predominantly on clinical data or imaging-based techniques such as radiomics, often fall short in achieving satisfactory classification accuracy. These methods fail to adequately capture the nuanced features crucial for accurate diagnosis, often hindered by noise and the inability to integrate information across various scales. Methods We propose a novel approach that mask attention mechanisms with multi-scale feature fusion for Multimodal brain disease classification tasks, termed M 3, which aims to extract features highly relevant to the disease. The extracted features are then dimensionally reduced using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), followed by classification with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to obtain the predictive results. Results Our methodology underwent rigorous testing on multi-parametric MRI datasets for both brain tumors and strokes. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in addressing critical clinical challenges, including the classification of gliomas, brain metastases, and the prediction of hemorrhagic stroke transformations. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of our attention mechanism and feature fusion modules. Discussion These findings underscore the potential of our approach to meet and exceed current clinical diagnostic demands, offering promising prospects for enhancing healthcare outcomes in the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.

Enhanced the treatment of ischemic stroke through intranasal temperature-sensitive hydrogels of edaravone and borneol inclusion complex. Int J Pharm 2024; 651:123748. [PMID: 38154533 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
Since ischemic stroke occurs by a combination of multiple mechanisms, therapies that modulate multiple mechanisms are required for its treatment. The combination of edaravone (EDA) and borneol can significantly ameliorate the symptoms of neurological deficits in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model in rats. In this study, the solubility of borneol and edaravone was improved by hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and PEG400. Furthermore, a nasal temperature-sensitive hydrogel containing both edaravone and borneol inclusion complex (EDA-BP TSGS) was developed to overcome the obstacles of ischemic stroke treatment including the obstruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the unavailability and untimely of intravenous injection. The effectiveness of the thermosensitive hydrogel was investigated in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion model rats (MCAO/R). The results showed that EDA-BP TSGS could significantly alleviate the symptoms of neurological deficits and decrease the cerebral infarct area and the degree of brain damage. In summary, nasal EDA-BP TSGS is a secure and effective brain-targeting formulation that may provide a viable option for the clinical prophylaxis and treatment of ischemic stroke.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228481. [PMID: 33187248 PMCID: PMC7697771 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21228481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Tibia fracture (BF) before stroke shortly causes long-term post-stroke memory dysfunction in mice. The mechanism is unclear. We hypothesize that BF enhances neuroinflammation and blood brain barrier (BBB) breakdown in the hippocampus and white matter (WM) damage. Methods: Mice were assigned to groups: BF, stroke, BF+stroke (BF 6 h before stroke) and sham. BBB integrity was analyzed 3 days after the surgeries and WM injury was analyzed 3 days and 8 weeks after the surgeries. Results: Stroke and BF+stroke groups had more activated microglia/macrophages and lower levels of claudin-5 in the ipsilateral hippocampi than the BF group. BF+stroke group had the highest number microglia/macrophages and the lowest level of claudin-5 among all groups and had fewer pericytes than BF group. Stroke and BF+stroke groups had smaller WM areas in the ipsilateral basal ganglia than the sham group 8 weeks after the injuries. The BF+stroke group also had smaller WM areas in the ipsilateral than sham and BF groups 3 days after the injuries and in the contralateral basal ganglia than stroke and BF groups 8 weeks after the injuries. Conclusions: BF exacerbates neuroinflammation and BBB leakage in the hippocampus and WM damage in basal ganglia, which could contribute to the long-lasting memory dysfunction in BF+stroke mice.

Angong Niuhuang Pill as adjuvant therapy for treating acute cerebral infarction and intracerebral hemorrhage: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2019; 237:307-313.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Angong Niuhuang Pill (ANP) is a well-known traditional Chinese patent medicine. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ANP as an adjuvant therapy in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and acute intracerebral hemorrhage (AIH). MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a literature search in Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP database from their inceptions to April 2018. Randomized controlled trials evaluating ANP as an adjuvant therapy for acute stroke were selected. Risk ratio (RR) or weighted mean difference (WMD) with their 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated between with and without ANP therapy. RESULTS Eighteen trials involving 1,601 patients were identified and analyzed. Meta-analysis showed that ANP plus usual treatment significantly improved the total response rate in patients with ACI (RR 1.27; 95% CI 1.14-1.41) and AIH (RR 1.26; 95% CI 1.14-1.38) compared with the usual treatment alone. Adjuvant treatment with ANP also significantly reduced the neurologic deficit score in patients with ACI (WMD -3.64; 95% CI -4.97 to - 2.31) and AIH (WMD -3.52; 95% CI -5.51 to -1.54). Moreover, ANP significantly improved the Glasgow Coma Scale in patients with ACI (WMD 1.18; 95% CI 0.79-1.56) and AIH (WMD 2.28; 95% CI 1.37-3.19). CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant treatment with ANP appears to improve the total response rate and neurologic deficit score in patients with ACI and AIH. More well-designed trials are required due to the suboptimal methodological quality of the included trials.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the most devastating complications of bone fracture, occurring in up to 4% of patients after surgical repair for hip fracture. Bone fracture and ischemic stroke have many common risk factors. The impact of bone fracture on stroke recovery has not drawn much attention in the research field. Bone fracture could occur in stroke patients at different times during the recovery phase, which steepens the trajectory of cognitive decline, greatly affects the quality of life, and causes a heavy burden on healthcare resources. In this paper, we reviewed the growing information on the pathophysiological mechanisms by which bone fracture may affect ischemic stroke recovery process.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a devastating complication of bone fracture. Bone fracture shortly after stroke enhances stroke injury by augmenting inflammation. We hypothesize that bone fracture shortly before ischemic stroke also exacerbates ischemic cerebral injury. Tibia fracture was performed 6 or 24 hours before permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) on C57BL/6J mice or Ccr2RFP/+Cx3cr1GFP/+ mice that have the RFP gene knocked into one allele of Ccr2 gene and GFP gene knocked into one allele of Cx3cr1 gene. Behavior was tested 3 days after pMCAO. Infarct volume, the number of CD68+ cells, apoptotic neurons, bone marrow-derived macrophages (RFP+), and microgila (GFP+) in the peri-infarct region were quantified. Compared to mice subjected to pMCAO only, bone fracture 6 or 24 hours before pMCAO increased behavioral deficits, the infarct volume, and the number of CD68+ cells and apoptotic neurons in the peri-infarct area. Both bone marrow-derived macrophages (CCR2+) and microglia (CX3CR1+) increased in the peri-infarct regions of mice subjected to bone fracture before pMCAO compared to stroke-only mice. The mice subjected to bone fracture 6 hours before pMCAO had more severe injury than mice that had bone fracture 24 hours before pMCAO. Our data showed that bone fracture shortly before stroke also increases neuroinflammation and exacerbates ischemic cerebral injury. Our findings suggest that inhibition of neuroinflammation or management of stroke risk factors before major bone surgery would be beneficial for patients who are likely to suffer from stroke.
