Acute ischemic stroke causes a high rate of deaths and permanent neurological deficits in survivors. Current interventional treatment, in the form of enzymatic thrombolysis, benefits only a small percentage of patients. Brain ischemia triggers mobilization of innate immunity, specifically the
Changes in aortic lipolytic enzyme activities (cholesterol esterase and lipoprotein lipase) and acid phosphatase activity during aging were investigated in three strains of rats with different blood pressures; stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP), spontaneously hypertensive rats
OBJECTIVE
Polymorphic paraoxonase (PON1) variants can variably prevent low- and high-density lipoprotein oxidation, but their role in provoking atherosclerosis remained unclear. We addressed this issue by profiling PON1 polymorphisms and enzymatic activities, and assessing atherosclerosis and
OBJECTIVE
The etiology of arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in the young remains unknown in one third of patients. Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is an HDL-associated esterase that hydrolyzes products of lipid peroxidation and prevents the oxidation of LDL. Two common polymorphisms in the PON1 gene, the 192
BACKGROUND
Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is an HDL-associated esterase that hydrolyzes products of lipid peroxidation and prevents the oxidation of LDL. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) was implicated in susceptibility to stroke in previous studies. We investigated the correlation between the paraoxonase Gln-Arg 192
OBJECTIVE
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an esterase with antioxidant properties. Low PON1 enzyme activity or specific allelic polymorphisms seem to be associated with the risk of developing coronary artery disease or acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Our objective was to determine the distribution of both PON1
In 42 patients with ischemic cerebral stroke, the state of the kallikrein-kinin system of the blood was analyzed by three main parameters: total esterase activity, prekallikrein content, and activity of the kallikrein inhibitor. Two blood specimens were taken (from the femoral artery and the
OBJECTIVE
[corrected] There is no treatment proven to be of definitive benefit for ischemic stroke. Arginine esterase, a natural product from a snake venom, has been shown to reduce the serum fibrinogen level in human beings and may be useful in the treatment of ischemic stroke. In the present
Hydrolysis of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, aspirin), an antiplatelet drug commonly used in the prevention of stroke and myocardial infarction, seems to play a crucial role in its pharmacological action. Thirty-eight healthy volunteers and 38 type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled to test the
Post stroke dementia (PSD) develops in up to 40% of patients and often co-exists with Alzheimer's disease in the elderly. Unsurprisingly, the combination of stroke and dementia is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, and is devastating to patients and carers. Limited trial evidence
Angioneurotic orolingual edema associated with the use of rt-PA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) for systemic thrombolysis are described in the literature, but only as isolated case reports. Strangely, the rate of anaphylactic reactions to rt-PA is higher (1.9%) when they are used in the
CSF nonspecific esterase (ANAE) activities of mononuclear phagocytes of 35 patients with intracerebral hematoma (ICH) with clear CSF and 25 with cerebral thrombosis and 17 normals were observed. The ANAE activities of ICH were much higher than those of thrombosis significantly (P less than 0.01).
BACKGROUND
Despite the current interest in thrombolytic therapy for acute stroke, ischemia-reperfusion injury remains a potentially hazardous complication. The complement system is thought to play a major role in initiating some of the inflammatory events occurring in the reperfusion injury. This
Thromboembolic events associated with human plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) use in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) have been reported in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System database. The purpose of this article is to review and assess
BACKGROUND
The inflammatory cascade has been hypothesized to be an important mechanism of post-ischaemic myocardial reperfusion injury and several studies demonstrated that C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) is effective in post-ischaemia myocardial protection. Therefore, we aimed to investigate
