Neuroprotective Efficacy of <i>Astragalus mongholicus</i> in Ischemic Stroke: Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms by Yongjae Hong, Geon Ko, Yeong-Jae Jeon, Hyeon-Man Baek, Juni Lee, Donghun Lee, Jieun Park, Jaehong Kim, Keun-A Chang

“…Our study investigates the neuroprotective properties of <i>Astragalus mongholicus</i> (AM) in acute ischemic stroke using photothrombotic (PTB) and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) mouse models, as well as an <i>in vitro</i> oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model. Post-OGD treatment with AM improved cell viability in mouse neuroblastoma cells, likely by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). …”

Differential brain activity in patients with disorders of consciousness: a 3-month rs-fMRI study using amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation by Xuewei Qin, Xuanling Chen, Lan Yao, Fa Lu, Zhenhu Liang, Jianghong He, Xiangyang Guo, Xiaoli Li, Xiaoli Li

“…In the non-TBI group, a higher ALFF was noted in the precuneus, with a reduced ALFF in the occipital and temporal lobes. Patients with improved consciousness post-SCS exhibited distinct ALFF patterns compared with those with unchanged consciousness, particularly in the posterior cingulate and occipital regions.ConclusionThe application of ALFF in rs-fMRI may be a predictive tool for post-treatment outcomes in patients with DoC of varying etiologies. …”

Platelet-derived HMGB1 induces NETosis, exacerbating brain damage in the photothrombotic stroke model by Sang-A. Oh, Song-I. Seol, Dashdulam Davaanyam, Seung-Woo Kim, Ja-Kyeong Lee

“…Immunofluorescence staining revealed initial localization of HMGB1 in neurons, followed by its accumulation within activated neutrophils and platelets within blood vessels. Functional inhibition of HMGB1 by intranasal administration of an HMGB1 A box 4 h post-PTS significantly suppressed NETosis induction, reduced infarct volume, and improved neurological deficits, confirming the pivotal role of HMGB1 in NETosis induction. …”
