ADF/cofilin mediates actin cytoskeletal alterations in LLC-PK cells during ATP depletion.
Ischemic injury induces actin cytoskeleton disruption and aggregation, but mechanisms affecting these changes remain unclear. To determine the role of actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/ cofilin participation in ischemic-induced actin cytoskeletal breakdown, we utilized porcine kidney cultured cells, LLC-PK(A4.8), and adenovirus containing wild-type (wt), constitutively active, and inactive Xeno...
متن کاملP 149: Effect of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibition on Acute Ischemic Stroke Injuries
Ischemic stroke accounts for about 87 percent of all cases. It occurs as a result of an obstruction within a vessel of the brain and sudden loss of blood circulation to the corresponding area resulting in the loss of brain function. It is caused by thrombotic or embolic occlusion of an artery and is more common than hemorrhagic stroke. We know that most of the injuries after an acute ischemic s...
متن کاملمحلول "گلوکز- انسولینـ پتاسیم" در سکته مغزی ایسکمیک: کارآزمایی بالینی
Background: Hyperglycemia after acute stroke is a common finding that has been associated with an increased risk of death. For the last several years, it was believed that post-stroke hyperglycemia may worsen brain infarction in animal models. According to previous studies, the anti-inflammatory effect of insulin has a protective role on ischemic tissues. Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) infusio...
متن کاملExtracellular Vesicles Derived from Human Umbilical Cord Perivascular Cells Improve Functional Recovery in Brain Ischemic Rat via the Inhibition of Apoptosis
Background: Ischemic stroke, as a health problem caused by the reduced blood supply to the brain, can lead to the neuronal death. The number of reliable therapies for stroke is limited. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit therapeutic achievement. A major limitation of MSC application in cell therapy is the short survival span. MSCs affect target tissues through the secretion of many paracrine...
متن کاملdysphagia in acute ischemic stroke
Introduction: Swallowing dysfunction complicates acute strokes in 25-32% of cases and directly affects patientschr('39') prognosis and recovery. Dysphagia complicates the course of acute strokes through its potential of the development of chest infection, nutritional problems, and dehydration. Dysphagia is also an independent predictor of respiratory morbidity and mortality in acute stroke. In...
