Introduction and objectives. A number of preclinical evaluations of stroke treatment with herbal medicine (HM) have been reported. The aim of the current review was to highlight the pathophysiology of stroke and review the pre-clinically identified molecular mechanisms of HM treatment. Materials and method. Only 32 articles published in the English language were accessible on Google scholar describing the treatment and mechanistic processes of HM in animal models of stroke, as well as human clinical trials, and were reviewed in this study. Results and discussion. Suboptimal Na+/K+ ATPases pump activity, actions of microglia cytokines that increase the level intracellular adhesion molecules-1 (ICAM-1) which promote WBC extravasation with associated increased in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity (digest basement-membranes), explains edema and apoptosis/inflammation. Altered conductivity in injured neurons with compensatory increase in glutamate release that overwhelms the regulatory glial glutamate transporter 1, and thus peaks the level of glutamate to an excitotoxin leve, promotes neuronal death. Glutamate activity on NMDAR promotes oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and release/influx of Ca2+ that causes apoptosis. The molecular targets involved in the treatment for stroke by HM promote anti-apoptotic/anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, anticoagulation/fibrinolysis effects and optimal metabolism. Different HM promotes the activities of tissue plasminogen activator, haemeoxygenase 1, Neutrin-1, brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Conclusion. The pathophysiology of stroke and the preclinical targets on which HM act to ameliorate them were identified which could serve as a focus for research on the development of effective treatment for stroke.

Opis:
Introduction. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a real social problem, with an upward trend worldwide. TBI is the leading cause of death and disability, especially among young men. Each year in Europe, and also in Poland, 243 per 100,000 individuals suffer from TBI. Assessing prognosis after traumatic brain injury is very important in order to help clinicians to make a decision about the implementation of specific methods of treatment, and to make communication with the patient and the patient’s family easier. Objective. The objective of this review was to present prognostic factors, to assess outcomes within a short time after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, as well as to predict functional outcome. The most important independent variables were: age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) motor score, pupil response, Marshall CT classification and traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage. Other important prognostic factors included hypotension, hypoxia, glucose, coagulopathy, haemoglobin and category of CT characteristic, such as midline shift, mass lesion, basal cistern. Conclusions. Gender and intraventricular haemorrhage did not have predictive value. This subject needs much more research in the area of new prognostic factors which would be better associated with outcome after traumatic brain injury.

Introduction. In the literature there are some discrepancies concerning the occurrence of vertigo and disequilibrium, as well as the type of vestibular dysfunction in patients after mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the type of vestibular system dysfunction in MTBI patients after injury at baseline and 6-month follow-up. Materials and method. From a group of 188 patients with vertigo/dizziness and balance instability after MTBI, prospective analysis in 50 patients with abnormal videonystagmography (VNG) were conducted. Anamnesis, otoneurological examination, self-assessed Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and VNG test were carried in each patient twice – at baseline and after 6 months. Results. A significant improvement in the DHI total score (9.8 points, p<0.001) and in the subscales was found after 6 months. At baseline, VNG test showed the peripheral vestibular system dysfunction in 19 cases (38%), central vestibular dysfunction in 20 patients (40%) and mixed vestibular dysfunction in 11 cases (44%). After 6 months, the VNG records normalization was observed in 19 patients (38%), an improvement was significantly more frequently related to peripheral disorders, compared to central ones (p<0.001). Conclusions. In patients after mild traumatic brain injury, about one-fourth of them had vestibular system dysfunction with the same frequency of peripheral, central and mixed lesions in videonystagmography. Subjective post-traumatic symptoms and vestibular system dysfunction in patients after MTBI decrease after 6-month follow-up. However, more than half of patients still have abnormal VNG results, which indicate dysfunction of the central vestibular system.

Introduction. In spite of the rapid development in various communication-support technologies for those waking up from a coma, studies describing the sole process of reconstructing communication in this group of patients are scarce. Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze communication reactions in a minimal state of consciousness and describe the nonverbal behaviours characteristic for each stages significant for the therapy of communication. Materials and method. 18 severely brain-injured patients in a minimal state of consciousness participated in the half-year observation study, which included people experiencing at least 4 weeks of consciousness disorder/coma. Age of patients 25±5 years. Psychological assessment included: observation of various attempts of communications undertaken by patients, caregivers and family interview, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Individual Communication Sheet. Results. Data analysis showed a significant increase in preverbal communication, both in primal and sensory areas when compared between Stage II (GCS=6–8 points) and Stage III (GCS=9–12 points). After a time, primary communication reached a high level. Patients produced communication attempts from the behaviour organization level, and an increase in the nonverbal communication level was noted. Based on observations, nonverbal communication profiles for each stage of waking up from a coma were introduced. Conclusions. It was found that in the process of waking up from a coma the patients communicate with the use of the preverbal level of primal communication, the sensory and behaviour organization activities. The characteristics of the communication reactions show that in Stage III there is a significant increase in two preverbal communication areas: primal and sensory acts, when compared with Stage II.

Opis:
Introduction and objective. Clonidine, an antihypertensive agent, is known to activate presynaptic α2-adrenoreceptors and imidazoline receptors in the central nervous system. Clonidine may also have influence on glutamatergic neurotransmission. Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is an endogenous antagonist of excitatory amino acid receptors. Cerebral KYNA synthesis from its bioprecursor L-kynurenine is regulated by aminotransferases localized preferentially within astrocytes. KYNA was shown to display potent neuroprotective properties. Moreover, it was reported that KYNA could reduce blood pressure levels in animal model of hypertension. The aim of the study was to discover whether the central antihypertensive agent clonidine has an influence on kynurenic acid (KYNA) production in rat brain cortex in vitro. Materials and method. Cortical slices and brain cortical homogenates were incubated for 2 hours in the presence of KYNA precursor – L-kynurenine and clonidine. KYNA was separated chromatographically and detected fluorometrically. Results. Clonidine at the concentration of 0.001 mM – 0.1 mM did not affect KYNA production in rat brain cortex in vitro. It decreased KYNA production in rat brain cortical slices at concentrations 0.5–5 mM. Clonidine at all tested concentrations influenced neither KAT I nor KAT II activity. Conclusion. The study revealed that clonidine decreases KYNA production in rat brain cortex in vitro. The obtained results suggest that augmentation of glutamatergic transmission may play an important role in the antihypertensive action of clonidine.

Objective. The study was undertaken to evaluate the antidepressant activity of ethanolic extract of Ferula asafoetida oleo gum resins. Materials and Methods. Five groups of rats (180–200g) and mice (20–30g) of both genders, each group comprising six animals, were used (i.e., normal, positive control, standard, FAEE 200mg/kg, and FAEE 400mg/kg treated groups). Forced swimming test (FST), Tail suspension test (TST), Potentiation of Norepinephrine-Induced Toxicity (PNEIT), Haloperidol- Induced Catalepsy (HIC), and Reserpine-Induced Hypothermia (RIH), were used as the validate models of depression in rodents. The study was confirmed by brain monoamines estimation (i.e. Dopamine, Norepinephrine and 5-HT), MAO levels and invivo antioxidant studies (CAT and SOD). Results. FAEE treated animals showed a significant and dose dependent effect on a decrease in immobility time in FST, TST, and decrease in catalepsy time in HIC. FAEE and imipramine (15mg/kg) showed a significant increase in body temperature in RIH, and also showed a potent lethality in PNEIT. FAEE treated animals showed a significant increase in the levels of brain monoamines, in vivo antioxidants, and a significant decrease in MAO levels. Conclusion. Results of present study indicate that FAEE has potent antidepressant-like activity, and this effect may be due to the anti-oxidant property of Ferulic acid and umbelliferone, or may be due to neuroprotective activity of other major phytoconstituents, e.g. flavonoids, phenolic acids and polysulfide compounds. To identify the particular compound responsible for the antidepressant-like activity required further molecular level studies.

Introduction. Despite the growing interest in the consequences of caring for patients with Huntington disease (pHD), little is known about the family caregivers of such patients in Poland. Identification of their needs can improve caregivers’ wellbeing, the quality of care and condition of pHD. The aim of this study was to understand the social functioning of family caregivers of pHD and their perception of the caregiving role. Materials and methods. Data was collected from 55 family caregivers of pHD. A structured questionnaire was used consisting of 86 questions subsumed into five domains: ‘Problems’ and ‘Feelings related to caregiving’, ‘Attitude toward caregiving’, ‘Satisfaction with life’ and ‘Perception of healthcare services’. Correlations between the different scales and other characteristics were measured as potential predictors of the burden. Non-parametric statistical methods were used in the analysis. Results. Most respondents experienced a high (50.9%) or moderate (30.95%) feeling of burden. Although 70.9% of caregivers perceived caregiving positively, for many it was a source of negative feelings. Only 10.9% of respondents declared that caregiving decreased their QoL. Carers’ perception of caregiving was mostly influenced by their negative experiences with the healthcare system. Respondents’ domicile, religious practices, age, income, marital status, time of diagnosis and of caregiving, patient’s age and stage of disease also influenced their experiences. Conclusions. Health professionals and policy planners should focus on monitoring caregivers’ health, identifying their needs, sources of distress, and supporting caregivers’ coping strategies. They should also be better educated about the clinical and practical aspects of HD.

Opis:
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in paraquat (PQ)-induced neurotoxicity is still not fully understood. In this study we used NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-selective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, in order to examine the effects of NO, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and lipid peroxidation (LPO) development during PQ-mediated neurotoxicity. Oxidative stress development in the striatum of Wistar rats intrastriatally (i.s.) poisoned with PQ (and in some cases pre-treated with L-NAME) was investigated by measuring superoxide anion (O2 •ˉ), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrate (NO3ˉ), 30 min, 24 hours and 7 days after treatment. L-NAME pretreatment provided the possibility to distinguish the role of ROS from reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in oxidative stress development induced by PQ. Our results confi rm the involvement of NO in PQ-mediated neurotoxicity and reduced LPO by L-NAME pretreatment implying that the latter has a protective role.

Opis:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus type 2 (SARS-Cov-2), injures multiple organs including the central and peripheral nervous system. We report the case of a 68-year-old patient diagnosed with COVID-19 infection in its moderate form who, 1 week after the onset of respiratory symptoms, developed a large acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the area of the left middle cerebral artery (LMCA). The case shows that large artery stroke can occur even in moderate forms of COVID-19, and stresses the need for correct coagulation management. The source of cerebral stroke should also be sought by cervical computed tomography angiography (CTA) from the level of the aortic arch, and not only covering the cerebral vessels as thrombo-embolic events may appear already in large cervical vessels, even in mild forms of the disease.
