Matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 serum levels in patients with vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia with and without stroke: case-control study

Juan Manuel Marquez-Romero, Raul Diaz-Molina, Bernardo Cesar Hernandez-Curiel, Dulce Maria Bonifacio-Delgadillo, Carlos Alberto Prado-Aguilar

Summary: This study found that high serum levels of MMP-9 are associated with vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) independently of stroke, and correlated with the degree of VBD. Patients with stroke exhibited higher MMP-9 serum levels than controls, but not significantly different from those found in patients with VBD. Serum levels of MMP-9 were significantly correlated with the diameters of the basilar artery and the left vertebral artery.

Predictive values of baseline matrix metalloproteinase 9 levels in peripheral blood on 3-month outcomes of high-risk patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack

Min Zhang, Xia Meng, Yuesong Pan, Yilong Wang, Xingquan Zhao, Liping Liu, Jiejie Li, Hongyi Yan, Xiangrong Liu, Hui Zhang, Lijuan Pang, Yongjun Wang

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between baseline levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in peripheral blood and the outcomes in patients with acute minor stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA). The results showed that higher baseline MMP9 levels were associated with an increased risk of poor functional outcomes, which might be related to stroke recurrence and combined vascular events.

Stolze, Mirjam Heldner, Ilaria R. Grisendi, Dejana Jovanovic, Yannick Bejot, Alessandro R. Pezzini, Ronen Leker, Georg Kaegi, Susanne W. Wegener, Carlo Cereda, Georges Ntaios, Gian Marco H.

Arnold, Paul Nederkoorn, Patrik Michel, Andrea Zini, Charlotte H. Cordonnier, Christian A. Nolte, Peter Ringleb, Sami T. Curtze, Stefan Engelter, Henrik Gensicke

Summary: This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) >4.5-9 hours after stroke onset and the relevance of advanced neuroimaging for patient selection. The results showed no significant difference in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, poor outcome, and mortality between selected stroke patients treated with IVT between >4.5-9 hours and those treated within 4.5 hours. Advanced neuroimaging for patient selection was associated with lower mortality.

Perceived acceptable uncertainty regarding comparability of endovascular treatment alone versus intravenous thrombolysis plus endovascular treatment

Johannes Kaesmacher, Adnan Mujanovic, Kilian Treurniet, Manon Kappelhof, Thomas R. Meinel, Pengfei Yang, Jianmin Liu, Yongwei Zhang, Wenjie Zi, Qingwu Yang, Raul G. Nogueira, Kazumi Kimura, Yuji Matsumaru, Kentaro Suzuki, Bernard Yan, Peter J. Mitchell, Zhongrong Miao, Yvo B. W. E. M. Roos, Charles B. L. M. Majoie, Jan Gralla, Jeffrey L. Saver, Urs Fischer

Summary: This study investigated the acceptable level of uncertainty for experienced stroke clinicians in deciding whether to administer intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT). The results showed that clinicians would generally feel comfortable skipping IVT if there was reasonable comparability between IVT+EVT and EVT alone, with no more than 3% of patients being unable to achieve functional independence at 90 days due to skipping IVT.

Semantic Visualization in Functional Recovery Prediction of Intravenous Thrombolysis following Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients by Using Biostatistics: An Exploratory Study

Chih-Chun Hsiao, Chun-Gu Cheng, Cheng-Chueh Chen, Hung-Wen Chiu, Hui-Chen Lin, Chun-An Cheng

Summary: We designed a functional recovery analysis model using semantic visualization to predict the recovery probability in AIS patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis. The model included age and NIHSS score as immediate pretreatment parameters. In the validation dataset, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the model were 71.79%, 86.67%, and 75.93%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.867.

Large vessel cardioembolic stroke and embolic stroke of undetermined source share a common profile of matrix metalloproteinase-9 level and susceptibility vessel sign length

Hanan Alhazmi, Alexandre Bani-Sadr, Thomas Bochaton, Alexandre Paccalet, Claire Crola Da Silva, Marielle Buisson, Camille Amaz, Roxana Ameli, Yves Berthezene, Omer Faruk Eker, Michel Ovize, Tae-Hee Cho, Norbert Nighoghossian, Laura Mechtouff

Summary: The study found that SVS length and admission MMP-9 level may improve the prediction of CE subtype, which closely resembles the ESUS subtype. Factors such as current smoking, tandem occlusion, SVS length, and admission MMP-9 level were inversely associated with the CE subtype. These results suggest a common cardiac embolic source for CE subtype and ESUS.

Economic evaluation of intravenous alteplase for stroke with the time of onset between 4.5 and 9 hours

Jigang Chen, Xin Liang, Xin Tong, Mingyang Han, Linjin Ji, Songfeng Zhao, Zhiqiang Hu, Aihua Liu

Summary: This study assessed the lifetime cost-effectiveness of alteplase versus placebo for patients with acute ischemic stroke. The results showed that alteplase was likely to be cost-effective in China and was cost-effective in the US when compared with placebo for patients with a time of onset between 4.5 and 9 hours.

Predictive value of longitudinal changes of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in acute ischemic stroke

Youjia Li, Xiaoyan Han, Songbao Luo, Huiqin Huang, Xinyan Huang, Miaochang Li, Yan Huang, Ying Chen, Zhenmei Wu

Summary: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) have important roles in ischemic brain injury. This study investigated the temporal profiles of serum MMP-9 and BDNF concentrations in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients and found that they were closely related to the prognosis of AIS patients in a time-dependent manner. The dynamic changes in these biomarkers were superior to baseline levels in predicting the prognosis of AIS patients.

Rapid, Nitric Oxide Synthesis-Dependent Activation of MMP-9 at Pericyte Somata During Capillary Ischemia in vivo

Robert G. Underly, Andy Y. Shih

Summary: Nitric oxide plays important roles in normal vascular physiology but can also contribute to vascular pathology in disease; during brain ischemia, aberrant nitric oxide levels can cause cellular injury, and the rapid activation of MMP-9 at capillary pericyte somata during ischemia involves both nitric oxide synthase and new protein synthesis.

B. Tras, H. Eser Faki, Z. Ozdemir Kutahya, E. Bahcivan, B. Dik, K. Uney

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dexamethasone and minocycline alone and combined with NAC and vitamin E on serum levels of CoQ10 and MMP-9 in rats exposed to AFB1. The results showed that the combined treatment significantly increased CoQ10 levels and decreased MMP-9 levels, suggesting a potential protective effect against AFB1-induced toxicity.

A Deep Learning Pipeline to Automate High-Resolution Arterial Segmentation With or Without Intravenous Contrast

Anirudh Chandrashekar, Ashok Handa, Natesh Shivakumar, Pierfrancesco Lapolla, Raman Uberoi, Vicente Grau, Regent Lee

Summary: In this study, a deep learning architecture was implemented to establish a high-throughput and automated segmentation pipeline of pathological blood vessels in CT images. The architecture showed superior results in extracting the inner lumen and wall structure of aortic aneurysms compared to a generic 3-D U-Net. This extraction method can standardize aneurysmal disease management and lays the foundation for complex geometric and morphological analysis.

Prediction of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Growth Using Geometric Assessment of Computerized Tomography Images Acquired During the Aneurysm Surveillance Period

Anirudh Chandrashekar, Ashok Handa, Pierfrancesco Lapolla, Natesh Shivakumar, Elisha Ngetich, Vicente Grau, Regent Lee

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the utility of geometric features for predicting future AAA growth. CT scans of patients with AAAs were analyzed, and it was found that AAA diameter, undulation index, and radius of curvature were significantly correlated with annual growth. These geometric features can be used to predict future AAA growth and applied to routine clinical CT scans.

Summary: After examining the role of a 'brachial artery relaxation index' as a biomarker for AAA growth, it was found that there is no correlation between this index and future aneurysm growth. This contradicts the hypothesis that physical characteristics of the brachial artery could predict AAA growth.
