397, P = 0.219; I 2 = 36.2%, P = 0.128] as those treated with delayed EVT. Delayed EVT was also associated with no significant difference in mortality (OR = 1.015, 95% CI = 0.852-1.209; P = 0.871; I 2 = 0.0%, P = 0.527), successful recanalization (OR = 1.255, 95% CI = 0.923-1.705; P = 0.147; I 2 = 60.5%, P = 0.009), and sICH (OR = 0.976, 95% CI = 0.737-1.293; P = 0.871; I 2 = 0.0%, P = 0.742) rates compared with early EVT. Conclusions Among selected patients with AIS, delayed EVT showed comparable outcomes in functional independence, recanalization, mortality, and sICH rates compared with early EVT.Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent, spontaneous seizures and is a major contributor to the global burden of neurological disease. Although epilepsy can result from a variety of brain insults, in many cases the cause is unknown and, in a significant proportion of cases, seizures cannot be controlled by available treatments. Understanding the molecular alterations that underlie or are triggered by epileptogenesis would help to identify therapeutics to prevent or control progression to epilepsy. To this end, the moderate throughput technique of Reverse Phase Protein Arrays (RPPA) was used to profile changes in protein expression in a pilocarpine mouse model of acquired epilepsy. Levels of 54 proteins, comprising phosphorylation-dependent and phosphorylation-independent components of major signaling pathways and cellular complexes, were measured in hippocampus, cortex and cerebellum of mice at six time points, spanning 15 min to 2 weeks after induction of status epilepticus. Results illustrate the time dependence of levels of the commonly studied MTOR pathway component, pS6, and show, for the first time, detailed responses during epileptogenesis of multiple components of the MTOR, MAPK, JAK/STAT and apoptosis pathways, NMDA receptors, and additional cellular complexes. Also noted are time- and brain region- specific changes in correlations among levels of functionally related proteins affecting both neurons and glia. While hippocampus and cortex are primary areas studied in pilocarpine-induced epilepsy, cerebellum also shows significant time-dependent molecular responses.Background and Purpose Prehospital delay is the major factor limiting intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aimed to (1) identify factors related to prehospital delay and (2) determine the impact of recognition and behavior of family members on patient delay. Methods A cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted at six teaching hospitals in China between December 1, 2018 and November 30, 2019. Patients who experienced AIS within 7 days of onset were interviewed. Results Of 1,782 consecutive patients (male, 57.97%; mean age, 66.3 ± 9.65 years) who had an AIS, 267 (14.98%) patients arrived within 4.5 h and 722 (40.52%) patients arrived within 6 h of stroke onset. Among patients who arrived within 4.5 h, 103 (38.6%) received thrombolysis. Age over 65 years (OR, 2.009; 95% CI, 1.014-3.982), prior stroke (OR, 3.478; 95% CI, 1.311-9.229), blurred vision (OR, 3.95; 95% CI, 1.71-9.123), and patients deciding to seek medical help (OR, 3.097; 95% CI, 1.417-6.769) were independently associated with late arrival. In contrast, sudden onset of symptoms (OR, 0.075; 95% CI, 0.028-0.196), the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 7-15 (OR, 0.093; 95% CI, 0.035-0.251), consciousness disturbance (OR, 0.258; 95% CI, 0.091-0.734), weakness (OR, 0.265; 95% CI, 0.09-0.784), arrival by ambulance (OR, 0.102; 95% CI, 0.049-0.211), decision time less then 30 min (OR, 0.008; 95% CI, 0.003-0.018), and family member understanding stroke requires early treatment (OR, 0.224; 95% CI, 0.109-0.462) were independently associated with early arrival. Conclusions The prehospital delay in China lags behind Western countries. Recognition and behavior of stroke patients' family members may play a key role in early arrival.Background Fibrin degradation products (FDPs) are fragments released by the plasmin-mediated degradation of fibrinogen or fibrin. Whether plasma levels of these fragments can predict the thrombolytic effect of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) remains unknown. Methods We performed a hospital-based study of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) to explore the relationship between FDP levels at admission and the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score 1 h after thrombolysis treatment. In this retrospective, single-center study, the data of all patients with AIS who received r-tPA treatment at Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2019 to October 2020 were collected and analyzed. Demographic and clinical data, including laboratory examinations, were also analyzed. Results A total of 339 patients with AIS were included in this study. Of these, 151 showed favorable effects of r-tPA, and 188 showed unsatisfactory effects at 1 h after thrombolysis. Overall, we found an inverse relationship between the FDPs levels at admission and the NIHSS score. A significant difference was observed when using the interquartile range of the FDPs levels (1.31 μg/mL) as a cutoff value (P = 0.003, odds ratio [OR] = 1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-3.01), even after adjusting for confounding factors (P = 0.003, OR = 2.23, 95% CI 1.31-3.77). In addition, significant associations were observed in the tertile (T3) and quartile (Q3, Q4) FDP levels when compared with T1 or Q1. A nomogram was also employed to create a model to predict an unsatisfactory effect of r-tPA. We found that FDP levels, white blood cell count, age, D-dimer level, and body mass index could influence the thrombolytic effect of r-tPA. Conclusion In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that the levels of FDPs at admission can be used as a prognostic factor to predict the curative effect of r-tPA.Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited mitochondrial disease that specifically targets the retinal ganglion cells by reducing their ability to produce enough energy to sustain. The mutations of the mitochondrial DNA that cause LHON are silent until an unknown trigger causes bilateral central visual scotoma. Usp22i-S02 After the onset of loss of vision, most patients experience progressive worsening within the following months. Few of them regain some vision after a period of ~1 year. Management of LHON patients has been focused on understanding the triggers of the disease and its pathophysiology to prevent the onset of visual loss in a carrier. Medical treatment is recommended once visual loss has started in at least one eye. Research evaluated drugs that are thought to be able to restore the mitochondrial electron transport chain of the retinal ganglion cells. Significant advances were made in evaluating free radical cell scavengers and gene therapy as potential treatments for LHON. Although encouraging the results of clinical trial have been mixed in stopping the worsening of visual loss.
