From January 2020, COVID-19 is spreading around the world producing serious respiratory symptoms in infected patients that some cases can be complicated by severe acute syndrome, sepsis and septic shock, multiorgan failure, including kidney injury cardiac injury. Cost time efficient approaches to reduce burthen of disease are needed. To find potential treatments among whole arsenal existing drugs, we combined system biology artificial intelligence-based approaches. The drug combination pirfenidone melatonin has been identified as a candidate treatment may contribute virus infection. Starting from different targets effect drugs converges on human proteins with known role SARS-CoV-2 infection cycle. Simultaneously, GUILDify v2.0 web server used an alternative method corroborate against SARS-CoV-2. We have also predicted therapeutic over associated pathology, thus tackling at same two important issues COVID-19. These evidences, together fact medical point view both considered safe current standard care for makes this very attractive treating stage II, non-severe symptomatic presence those who risk developing pulmonary complications.

Ischemic stroke is the second cause of mortality and first long-term disability constituting a serious socioeconomic burden worldwide. Approved treatments include thrombectomy rtPA intravenous administration, which, despite their efficacy in some cases, are not suitable for great proportion patients. Glial cell-related therapies progressively overcoming inefficient neuron-centered approaches preclinical phase. Exploiting ability microglia to naturally switch between detrimental protective phenotypes represents promising therapeutic treatment, similar way what happens with astrocytes. However, duality present many roles these cells upon ischemia poses notorious difficulty disentangling precise pathways target. Still, promoting M2/A2 microglia/astrocyte inhibiting M1/A1 neurotoxic profiles globally rendering results different vivo models stroke. On other hand, described oligodendrogenesis after brain seems be strictly beneficial, although less studied players paradigm negative effects could oligodendrocytes next years.

Stroke is one of the most common causes death worldwide. The subsequent development neuroinflammation and brain edema dramatically increases risks associated with stroke, leading to a substantial increase in mortality. Although considerable progress has been made improving cerebral perfusion acute phase effective treatment options for subacute chronic phases infarction are limited. Microglia, innate immune cells central nervous system (CNS), can be activated polarized take on different phenotypes response stimulations including pro-inflammatory anti-inflammatory phenotypes, which affect prognosis stroke. Therefore, investigation activation polarizing mechanisms microglia plays critical role treating aim this article was investigate significance microglial phenotype regulation stroke by summarizing activation, mechanisms, general characteristics.

Cerebrovascular diseases are pathological conditions involving impaired blood flow in the brain, primarily including ischaemic stroke, intracranial haemorrhage, and subarachnoid haemorrhage. The nucleotide-binding oligomerisation (NOD) domain-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain (PYD)-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a protein complex vital component of immune system. Emerging evidence has indicated that NLRP3 plays an important role cerebrovascular diseases. function pathogenesis remains interesting field research. In this review, we first summarised mechanism aggravating atherosclerosis Second, outlined signalling pathways through which participates or mitigating Reactive oxygen species (ROS)/nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer activated B cells (NF-κB), ROS/thioredoxin-interacting (TXNIP) purinergic receptor-7 (P2X7R) can activate inflammasome; activation aggravate by mediating apoptosis pyroptosis. Autophagy/mitochondrial autophagy, nuclear E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), interferon (IFN)-β, sirtuin (SIRT), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase (AKT) reportedly alleviate inhibiting activation.

A healthy human can regulate cerebral (CBF) according any physiological or pathological challenges. The is protected by its self-regulatory mechanisms, which are dependent on neuronal and support cellular populations, including endothelial ones, as well metabolic, even myogenic factors.Accumulating data suggest that "non-pharmacological" approaches might provide new opportunities for stroke therapy, such electro-/acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen hypothermia/cooling, photobiomodulation, therapeutic gases, transcranial direct current stimulations, magnetic stimulations. We reviewed recent mechanisms clinical implications these non-pharmaceutical treatments.To present state-of-the-art currently available non-invasive, non-pharmacological-related interventions in acute ischemic stroke, we accomplished this synthetic systematic literature review based Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Principles Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).The initial number obtained articles was 313.

Melatonin has not only to be seen as a regulator of circadian clocks. In addition its chronobiotic functions, it displays other actions, especially in cell protection. This includes antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mitochondria-protecting effects. Although protection is also modulated by the system, respective actions melatonin can distinguished differ with regard dose requirements therapeutic settings. It aim this article outline these differences terms function, signaling, dosage.

Ischemic stroke is closely associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis and intestinal barrier dysfunction. Prebiotic intervention could modulate the microbiota, thus considered a practical strategy for neurological disorders. Puerariae Lobatae Radix-resistant starch (PLR-RS) potential novel prebiotic; however, its role in ischemic remains unknown. This study aimed to clarify effects underlying mechanisms of PLR-RS stroke. Middle cerebral artery occlusion surgery was performed establish model rats. After gavage 14 days, attenuated stroke-induced brain impairment Moreover, rescued enriched Akkermansia Bifidobacterium. We transplanted fecal from PLR-RS-treated rats into found that colon damage were also ameliorated. Notably, we promoted produce higher level melatonin. Intriguingly, exogenous melatonin injury.

Abstract: Ischemic stroke is the predominant cause of severe morbidity and mortality worldwide. Post-stroke neuroinflammation has recently received increasing attention with aim providing a new effective treatment strategy for ischemic stroke. Microglia astrocytes are major components innate immune system central nervous system. They can be involved in all phases stroke, from early stage, contributing to first wave neuronal cell death, late stage involving phagocytosis repair. In vicious cycle exists between activation microglia (through astrocytic connexin 43 hemichannels), aggravating neuroinflammatory injury post-stroke. However, repeatedly activated induce formation glial scars by triggering reactive astrogliosis peri-infarct regions, which may limit movement reverse restrict diffusion inflammation healthy brain tissues, alleviating poststroke. this review, we elucidated various roles summarized their relationship neuroinflammation. We also examined how influence each other at different stages Several potential therapeutic approaches targeting have been reviewed. Understanding details astrocytemicroglia interaction processes will contribute better understanding mechanisms underlying identification interventions.
