Background and Purpose- Smoking is an established risk factor for stroke; however, it is uncertain whether prestroke smoking status affects clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to elucidate the association between smoking status and functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke. Methods- Using a multicenter hospital-based stroke registry in Japan, we investigated 10 825 patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized between July 2007 and December 2017 who had been independent before stroke onset. Smoking status was categorized into those who had never smoked (nonsmokers), former smokers, and current smokers. Clinical outcomes included poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score >/=2) and functional dependence (modified Rankin Scale score 2-5) at 3 months. We adjusted for potential confounding factors using a logistic regression analysis. Results- The mean age of patients was 70.2+/-12.2 years, and 37.0% were women. There were 4396 (42.7%) nonsmokers, 3328 (32.4%) former smokers, and 2561 (24.9%) current smokers. The odds ratio (95% CI) for poor functional outcome after adjusting for confounders increased in current smokers (1.29 [1.11-1.49] versus nonsmokers) but not in former smokers (1.05 [0.92-1.21] versus nonsmokers). However, among the former smokers, the odds ratio of poor functional outcome was higher in those who quit smoking within 2 years of stroke onset (1.75 [1.15-2.66] versus nonsmokers). The risk of poor functional outcome tended to increase as the number of daily cigarettes increased in current smokers (P for trend=0.002). All these associations were maintained for functional dependence. Conclusions- Current and recent smoking is associated with an increased risk of unfavorable functional outcomes at 3 months after acute ischemic stroke.

Ischemic stroke causes blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown due to significant damage to the integrity of BBB components. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of pericytes in the repair process of BBB functions triggered by PDGFRβ up-regulation. Here, we show that perlecan, a major heparan sulfate proteoglycan of basement membranes, aids in BBB maintenance and repair through pericyte interactions. Using a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion model, we found larger infarct volumes and more BBB leakage in conditional perlecan (Hspg2)-deficient (Hspg2-/--TG) mice than in control mice. Control mice showed increased numbers of pericytes in the ischemic lesion, whereas Hspg2-/--TG mice did not. At the mechanistic level, pericytes attached to recombinant perlecan C-terminal domain V (perlecan DV, endorepellin). Perlecan DV enhanced the PDGF-BB-induced phosphorylation of PDGFRβ, SHP-2, and FAK partially through integrin α5β1 and promoted pericyte migration. Perlecan therefore appears to regulate pericyte recruitment through the cooperative functioning of PDGFRβ and integrin α5β1 to support BBB maintenance and repair following ischemic stroke.

The timing of anti-coagulation therapy initiation after acute cardioembolic stroke remains controversial. We investigated the effects of post-stroke administration of a factor Xa inhibitor in mice, focusing on tissue repair and functional restoration outcomes. We initiated administration of rivaroxaban, a Xa inhibitor, immediately after permanent distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO)in CB-17 mice harboring few leptomeningeal anastomoses at baseline. Rivaroxaban initiated immediately after pMCAO hindered the recovery of blood flow in ischemic areas by inhibiting leptomeningeal anastomosis development, and led to impaired restoration of neurologic functions with less extensive peri-infarct astrogliosis. Within infarct areas, angiogenesis and fibrotic responses were attenuated in rivaroxaban-fed mice. Furthermore, inflammatory responses, including the accumulation of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages, local secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and breakdown of the blood–brain barrier, were enhanced in infarct areas in mice treated immediately with rivaroxaban following pMCAO. The detrimental effects were not found when rivaroxaban was initiated after transient MCAO or on day 7 after pMCAO. Collectively, early post-stroke initiation of a factor Xa inhibitor may suppress leptomeningeal anastomosis development and blood flow recovery in ischemic areas, thereby resulting in attenuated tissue repair and functional restoration unless occluded large arteries are successfully recanalized.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate the growth of neural stem/precursor cells (NS/PCs) and participate in hippocampus-associated learning and memory. However, the origin of these regulatory ROS in NS/PCs is not fully understood. In the present study, we found that Nox4, a ROS-producing NADPH oxidase family protein, is expressed in primary cultured NS/PCs and in those of the adult mouse brain. Nox inhibitors VAS 2870 and GKT137831 or Nox4 deletion attenuated bFGF-induced proliferation of cultured NS/PCs, while lentivirus-mediated Nox4 overexpression increased the production of H ₂ O ₂ , the phosphorylation of Akt, and the proliferation of cultured NS/PCs. Nox4 did not significantly affect the potential of cultured NS/PCs to differentiate into neurons or astrocytes. The histological and functional development of the hippocampus appeared normal in Nox4 ^{− / −} mice. Although pathological and functional damages in the hippocampus induced by the neurotoxin trimethyltin were not significantly different between wild-type and Nox4 ^{− / −} mice, the post-injury reactive proliferation of NS/PCs and neurogenesis in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus were significantly impaired in Nox4 ^{− / −} animals. Restoration from the trimethyltin-induced impairment in recognition and spatial working memory was also significantly attenuated in Nox4 ^{− / −} mice. Collectively, our findings suggest that Nox4 participates in NS/PC proliferation and neurogenesis in the hippocampus following injury, thereby helping to restore memory function.

Pericytes are mural cells embedded in the basal membrane surrounding endothelial cells in capillary and small vessels (from precapillary arterioles to postcapillary venules). They exist with a high coverage ratio to endothelial cells in the brain and play crucial roles in the formation and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier and the control of blood flow through a close interaction with endothelial cells. Thus, intactness of pericyte is absolutely needed for neuronal/ brain functions. Ageing, life-style diseases, hypoperfusion/ischemia, drugs, and genetic factors can primarily cause pericyte dysfunctions, thereby leading to the development or progression of various brain disorders, including cerebrovascular diseases. Because pericytes also play an important role in tissue repair after brain injuries, they have received much attention as a therapeutic target even from the standpoint of functional recovery.

Stroke has multiple etiologies, but the underlying genes and pathways are largely unknown. We conducted a multiancestry genome-wide-association meta-analysis in 521,612 individuals (67,162 cases and 454,450 controls) and discovered 22 new stroke risk loci, bringing the total to 32. We further found shared genetic variation with related vascular traits, including blood pressure, cardiac traits, and venous thromboembolism, at individual loci (n = 18), and using genetic risk scores and linkage-disequilibrium-score regression. Several loci exhibited distinct association and pleiotropy patterns for etiological stroke subtypes. Eleven new susceptibility loci indicate mechanisms not previously implicated in stroke pathophysiology, with prioritization of risk variants and genes accomplished through bioinformatics analyses using extensive functional datasets. Stroke risk loci were significantly enriched in drug targets for antithrombotic therapy.

Smoking has detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system; however, some studies have reported better clinical outcomes after thrombolysis for ischemic stroke in smokers than in nonsmokers, a phenomenon known as the smoking paradox. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the smoking paradox in patients with ischemic stroke receiving reperfusion therapy. Data were collected from a multicenter hospital-based acute stroke registry in Fukuoka, Japan. The 1148 study patients were categorized into current and noncurrent smokers. The association between smoking and clinical outcomes, including neurological improvement (≥ 4-point decrease in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale during hospitalization or 0 points at discharge) and good functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2) at 3 months, was evaluated using logistic regression analysis and propensity score-matched analysis. Among the participants, 231 (20.1%) were current smokers. The odds ratios (ORs) of favorable outcomes after adjusting for potential confounders were not significantly increased in current smokers (OR 0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.60–1.22 for neurological improvement; OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.65–1.38 for good functional outcome). No significant association was found in the propensity score-matched cohorts. Smoking cessation is strongly recommended since current smoking was not associated with better outcomes after reperfusion therapy.

Background It is unclear whether abdominal adiposity has an additional effect on post-stroke outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether waist circumference (WC) is independently associated with clinical outcomes after acute ischemic stroke. Methods We enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke from a multicenter hospital-based stroke registry in Fukuoka, Japan. We measured WC on admission and categorized patients into four groups (Q1–Q4) according to the quartiles in females and males. The clinical outcomes were poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale score 2–6) and death from any cause. Logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the outcomes of interest after adjusting for potential confounding factors, including body mass index (BMI). Results A total of 11,989 patients (70.3±12.2 years, females: 36.1%) were included in the analysis. The risk of poor functional outcome significantly decreased for Q2–Q4 (vs. Q1) at discharge and Q2–Q3 (vs. Q1) at 3 months, even after adjusting for potential confounders, including BMI. In contrast, adjustment of BMI eliminated the significant association between WC and all-cause death at discharge and 3 months. The association between high WC and favorable functional outcome was not affected by fasting insulin levels or homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance and was only found in patients without diabetes (P = 0.02 for heterogeneity). Conclusions These findings suggest that abdominal adiposity has an additional impact on post-stroke functional outcome, independent of body weight and insulin action.

Background This study aimed to examine whether post-stroke early body temperature is associated with neurological damage in the acute phase and functional outcomes at three months. Methods We included 7,177 patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 h of onset. Axillary temperature was measured daily in the morning for seven days. Mean body temperature was grouped into five quintiles (Q1: 35.1–36.5◦C, Q2: 36.5–36.7◦C, Q3: 36.7–36.8◦C, Q4: 36.8–37.1◦C, and Q5: 37.1–39.1◦C). Clinical outcomes included neurological improvement during hospitalization and poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale score, 3–6) at three months. A logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between body temperature and clinical outcomes. Results The patient’s mean (SD) age was 70.6 (12.3) years, and 35.7% of patients were women. Mean body temperature was significantly associated with less neurological improvement from Q2 (odds ratios [95% confidence interval], 0.77 [0.65–0.99] vs. Q1) to Q5 (0.33 [0.28–0.40], P for trend <0.001) even after adjusting for potential confounders, including baseline neurological severity, C-reactive protein levels, and post-stroke acute infections. The multivariable-adjusted risk of poor functional outcome linearly increased from Q2 (1.36 [1.03–1.79]) to Q5 (6.44 [5.19–8.96], P for trend <0.001). These associations were maintained even in the analyses excluding patients with acute infectious diseases. Multivariable-adjusted risk of poor functional outcome was higher in patients with early body temperature elevation on days 1–3 and with longer duration with body temperature >37.0◦C. Conclusions Post-stroke early high body temperature is independently associated with unfavorable outcomes following acute ischemic stroke.

There are still many patients suffering from ischemic stroke and related disabilities worldwide. To develop a treatment that promotes functional recovery after acute ischemic stroke, we need to elucidate endogenous tissue repair mechanisms. The concept of a neurovascular unit (NVU) indicates the importance of a complex orchestration of cell–cell interactions and their microenvironment in the physiology and pathophysiology of various central nervous system diseases, particularly ischemic stroke. In this concept, microvascular pericytes play a crucial role in regulating the blood–brain barrier integrity, cerebral blood flow (CBF), and vascular stability. Recent evidence suggests that pericytes are also involved in the tissue repair leading to functional recovery following acute ischemic stroke through the interaction with other cell types constituting the NVU; pericytes may organize CBF recovery, macrophage-mediated clearance of myelin debris, intrainfarct fibrosis, and periinfarct astrogliosis and remyelination. In this review, we will discuss the physiological and pathophysiological functions of pericytes, their involvement in the molecular mechanisms underlying tissue repair and functional recovery after ischemic stroke, and a therapeutic strategy to promote endogenous regeneration.

Introduction: Data on sex differences in poststroke functional status for a period longer than 1 year based on large cohorts are sparse. This study aimed to determine whether there are sex differences in long-term functional decline after ischemic stroke. Methods: We tracked functional status for 5 years among 3-month survivors of acute ischemic stroke and compared outcomes between women and men using a large-scale hospital-based stroke registry in Fukuoka, Japan. Functional status was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Functional dependency was defined as an mRS score of 3, 4, or 5. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals of outcomes after adjusting for possible confounders. Results: A total of 8,446 patients (71.9 ± 12.5 years, 3,377 (40.0%) female patients) were enrolled in this study. Female sex was associated with a higher risk of functional dependency at 5 years poststroke even when adjusting for age, 3-month mRS score, and other confounding factors (multivariable-adjusted OR vs. men, 1.56 [95% confidence interval, 1.26-1.93]). This significant association of female sex with higher dependency at 5 years was also found among patients who were independent at 3 months poststroke. Subgroup analysis showed that increased risk of functional dependency in female patients was more marked in patients aged ≥75 years than in those aged <75 years (p for heterogeneity = 0.02). Conversely, female sex was associated with a lower risk of death. No sex difference was observed in stroke recurrence during 5 years poststroke. Discussion/Conclusion: This longitudinal observational study suggests that female sex was independently associated with an increased risk of functional decline in the chronic phase of stroke, especially in older patients. There was no sex difference in 5-year stroke recurrence, and thus, other factors might be involved in more significant deterioration of functional status in female survivors of ischemic stroke. Further studies are needed to elucidate underlying causes of sex differences in long-term functional decline after stroke.

The case study speculates that the antiphospholipid antibodies acquired during the follow-up period of carotid artery stenting may cause late stent thrombosis that is resistant to direct oral anticoagulants. A 73-year-old man was hospitalized with complaints of weakness in the right lower extremity. The patient had undergone carotid artery stenting for symptomatic stenosis of the left internal carotid artery 6 years prior and had received antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel 75 mg/day. As the patient had developed atrial fibrillation without stent stenosis at the age of 70 years, anticoagulation therapy with rivaroxaban15 mg/day was initiated while discontinuing clopidogrel. On admission, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) revealed acute brain infarcts in the territory of the left middle cerebral artery. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and cerebral angiography exposed severe stenosis in the left carotid artery accompanied by a filling defect caused by a floating thrombus. Laboratory examination revealed the presence of three types of antiphospholipid antibodies, with marked prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Replacement of rivaroxaban with warfarin eliminated the thrombus without recurrent stroke. In conclusion, late stent thrombosis may be associated with antiphospholipid antibodies acquired during the follow-up period of carotid artery stenting.

Background The association between clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients and decreases in serum uric acid levels, which often occur during the acute phase, remains unknown. Herein, we aimed to investigate the association using a large-scale, multicenter stroke registry. Methods We analyzed 4,621 acute ischemic stroke patients enrolled in the Fukuoka Stroke Registry between June 2007 and September 2019 whose uric acid levels were measured at least twice during hospitalization (including on admission). The study outcomes were poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≥3) and functional dependence (modified Rankin Scale score 3–5) at 3 months after stroke onset. Changes in uric acid levels after admission were evaluated using a decrease rate that was classified into 4 sex-specific grades ranging from G1 (no change/increase after admission) to G4 (most decreased). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess the associations between decreases in uric acid levels and the outcomes. Results The frequencies of the poor functional outcome and functional dependence were lowest in G1 and highest in G4. The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of G4 were significantly higher for poor functional outcome (2.66 [2.05–3.44]) and functional dependence (2.61 [2.00–3.42]) when compared with G1 after adjusting for confounding factors. We observed no heterogeneity in results for subgroups categorized according to age, sex, stroke subtype, neurological severity, chronic kidney disease, or uric acid level on admission. Conclusions Decreases in serum uric acid levels were independently associated with unfavorable outcomes after acute ischemic stroke.

Background: It remains unclear how chronic kidney disease and its underlying pathological conditions, kidney dysfunction, and kidney damage, are associated with cardiovascular outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether kidney dysfunction (ie, decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate), kidney damage (ie, proteinuria), or both are associated with the long-term outcomes after ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 12 576 patients (mean age, 73.0±12.6 years; 41.3% women) with ischemic stroke who were registered in a hospital-based multicenter registry, Fukuoka Stroke Registry, between June 2007 and September 2019, were prospectively followed up after stroke onset. Kidney function was assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate and categorized into G1: ≥60 mL/(min·1.73 m2), G2: 45-59 mL/(min·1.73 m2), and G3: <45 mL/(min·1.73 m2). Kidney damage was evaluated by proteinuria using a urine dipstick test and classified into P1: -, P2: ±/1+, and P3: ≥2+. Hazard ratios and 95% CI for events of interest were estimated by a Cox proportional hazards model. Long-term outcomes included recurrence of stroke and all-cause death. Results: During the median follow-up of 4.3 years (interquartile range, 2.1-7.3 years), 2481 patients had recurrent stroke (48.0/1000 patient-years) and 4032 patients died (67.3/1000 patient-years). Chronic kidney disease was independently associated with increased risks of stroke recurrence and all-cause death even after adjustment for multiple confounding factors, including traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Both estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria were independently associated with increased risks of stroke recurrence (multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio [95% CI], G3: 1.22 [1.09-1.37] versus G1, P3: 1.25 [1.07-1.46] versus P1) and death (G3: 1.45 [1.33-1.57] versus G1, P3: 1.62 [1.45-1.81] versus P1). In subgroup analyses, effect modifications were found in the association of proteinuria with death by age and stroke subtype. Conclusions: Kidney dysfunction and kidney damage were independently, but differently, associated with increased risks of recurrent stroke and all-cause death.

Post-stroke intra-infarct repair promotes peri-infarct neural reorganization leading to functional recovery. Herein, we examined the remodeling of extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) that constitute the intact basal membrane after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) in mice. Among ECM, collagen type IV remained localized on small vessel walls surrounding CD31-positive endothelial cells within infarct areas. Fibronectin was gradually deposited from peri-infarct areas to the ischemic core, in parallel with the accumulation of PDGFRβ-positive cells. Cultured PDGFRβ-positive pericytes produced fibronectin, which was enhanced by the treatment with PDGF-BB. Intra-infarct deposition of fibronectin was significantly attenuated in pericyte-deficient Pdgfrb+/− mice. Phagocytic activity of macrophages against myelin debris was significantly enhanced on fibronectin-coated dishes. In contrast, laminin α2, produced by GFAP- and aquaporin 4-positive astrocytes, accumulated strongly in the boundary of peri-infarct areas. Pericyte-conditioned medium increased the expression of laminin α2 in cultured astrocytes, partly through TGFβ1. Laminin α2 increased the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells into oligodendrocytes and the expression of myelin-associated proteins. Peri-infarct deposition of laminin α2 was significantly reduced in Pdgfrb+/− mice, with attenuated oligodendrogenesis in peri-infarct areas. Collectively, intra-infarct PDGFRβ-positive cells may orchestrate post-stroke remodeling of key ECM that create optimal environments promoting clearance of myelin debris and peri-infarct oligodendrogenesis.

This study aimed to determine whether body weight is associated with functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke. We measured the body mass index (BMI) and assessed clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The BMI was categorized into underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5–22.9 kg/m2), overweight (23.0–24.9 kg/m2), and obesity (≥ 25.0 kg/m2). The association between BMI and a poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score: 3–6) was evaluated. We included 11,749 patients with acute ischemic stroke (70.3 ± 12.2 years, 36.1% women). The risk of a 3-month poor functional outcome was higher for underweight, lower for overweight, and did not change for obesity in reference to a normal weight even after adjusting for covariates by logistic regression analysis. Restricted cubic splines and SHapley Additive exPlanation values in eXtreme Gradient Boosting model also showed non-linear relationships. Associations between BMI and a poor functional outcome were maintained even after excluding death (mRS score: 3–5) or including mild disability (mRS score: 2–6) as the outcome. The associations were strong in older patients, non-diabetic patients, and patients with mild stroke. Body weight has a non-linear relationship with the risk of a poor functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke.

Background and purpose: This study examined the association between age and clinical outcomes after ischemic stroke, and whether the effect of age on post-stroke outcomes can be modified by various factors. Methods: We included 12,171 patients with acute ischemic stroke, who were functionally independent before stroke onset, in a multicenter hospital-based study conducted in Fukuoka, Japan. Patients were categorized into six groups according to age: ≤ 45, 46–55, 56–65, 66–75, 76–85, and > 85 years. Logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate an odds ratio for poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale score of 3–6 at 3 months) for each age group. Interaction effects of age and various factors were analyzed using a multivariable model. Results: The mean age of the patients was 70.3 ± 12.2 years, and 63.9% were men. Neurological deficits at onset were more severe in the older age groups. The odds ratio of poor functional outcome linearly increased (P for trend <0.001), even after adjusting for potential confounders. Sex, body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus significantly modified the effect of age on the outcome (P < 0.05). The unfavorable effect of older age was greater in female patients and those with low body weight, whereas the protective effect of younger age was smaller in patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Conclusions: Functional outcome worsened with age in patients with acute ischemic stroke, especially in females and those with low body weight, hypertension, or hyperglycemia.

NOX4 is a major reactive oxygen species-producing enzyme that modulates cell stress responses. We here examined the effect of Nox4 deletion on demyelination–remyelination, the most common pathological change in the brain. We used a model of cuprizone (CPZ)-associated demyelination–remyelination in wild-type and Nox4-deficient (Nox4−/−) mice. While the CPZ-induced demyelination in the corpus callosum after 4 weeks of CPZ intoxication was slightly less pronounced in Nox4−/− mice than that in wild-type mice, remyelination following CPZ withdrawal was significantly enhanced in Nox4−/− mice with an increased accumulation of IBA1-positive microglia/macrophages in the demyelinating corpus callosum. Consistently, locomotor function, as assessed by the beam walking test, was significantly better during the remyelination phase in Nox4−/− mice. Nox4 deletion did not affect autonomous growth of primary-culture oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Although Nox4 expression was higher in cultured macrophages than in microglia, Nox4−/− microglia and macrophages both showed enhanced phagocytic capacity of myelin debris and produced increased amounts of trophic factors upon phagocytosis. The expression of trophic factors was higher, in parallel with the accumulation of IBA1-positive cells, in the corpus callosum in Nox4−/− mice than that in wild-type mice. Nox4 deletion suppressed phagocytosis-induced increase in mitochondrial membrane potential, enhancing phagocytic capacity of macrophages. Treatment with culture medium of Nox4−/− macrophages engulfing myelin debris, but not that of Nox4−/− astrocytes, enhanced cell growth and expression of myelin-associated proteins in cultured oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Collectively, Nox4 deletion promoted remyelination after CPZ-induced demyelination by enhancing microglia/macrophage-mediated clearance of myelin debris and the production of trophic factors leading to oligodendrogenesis.

Background: Little is known about the association between poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and functional outcome in the acute care phase of ischemic stroke and the influence of the clinical condition of acute stroke on this association. We examined this issue, taking into account stroke-related factors, in a hospital-based prospective study of patients with acute ischemic stroke. The same analysis was also performed after subsequent rehabilitation to investigate whether the association observed in the acute care phase persisted after that. For comparison, the same analysis was performed for pre-stroke dementia (PreSD). Methods: We included in the study a total of 923 patients with acute ischemic stroke who were admitted to a hospital from 2012 to 2020 in Japan. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination and Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices test at an average of 6.3 days after stroke onset. The subjects were divided into three groups with normal cognition, PSCI, and PreSD. Study outcome was a poor functional outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of ≥3 at the end of acute care (median 21 days after admission). Among total subjects, 460 were also assessed for poor functional outcome after rehabilitation (median 77 days after admission). A logistic regression model was applied in this study. Results: Patients with PSCI and PreSD had higher median National Institute of Health Stroke Scale scores than those with normal cognition (median [IQR]: 3 [2-6], 4 [2-12], and 2 [1-4], respectively). The age- and sex-adjusted cumulative incidence of poor functional outcome was significantly higher in patients with PSCI and PreSD than in those with normal cognition in the acute care and rehabilitation phases. In the acute care phase, these associations remained significant after adjustment for stroke-related factors and other confounders (multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [95% CI] for PSCI vs. normal cognition: 3.28 [2.07-5.20]; for PreSD: 2.39 [1.40-4.08]). Similar results were observed in the rehabilitation phase (for PSCI: 2.48 [1.31-4.70]; for PreSD: 3.92 [1.94-7.92]). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that PSCI, as well as PreSD, is possibly associated with the development of poor functional outcome in the acute care phase of ischemic stroke, and this association continues thereafter.

Aim: Secular trends in the risk of recurrent stroke have been reported in several epidemiological studies worldwide, but this issue has not been investigated in general Japanese populations. We examined the trends in the 5-year risk of recurrent stroke over a half century using community-based prospective data in Japan. Methods: We established 4 cohort studies in 1961, 1974, 1988, and 2002. To examine the risk of recurrent stroke, participants who developed stroke during a 10-year follow-up period in each cohort were followed-up for 5 years from the date of first onset. A total of 154 (first sub-cohort: 1961-1971), 144 (second sub-cohort: 1974-1984), 172 (third sub-cohort: 1988-1998), and 146 (fourth sub-cohort: 2002-2012) participants from each cohort were enrolled in the present study. The 5-year cumulative risk of recurrent stroke was compared among the sub-cohorts using the Kaplan-Meier method and the age-and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model. Results: The risks of recurrent stroke after any stroke and ischemic stroke decreased significantly from the first to the third sub-cohort, but they did not clearly change from the third to the fourth sub-cohort. The risk of recurrent stroke after hemorrhagic stroke decreased mainly from the first to the second sub-cohort and there was no apparent decrease from the second to the fourth sub-cohort. These trends were substantially unchanged after adjusting for age and sex. Conclusions: In the Japanese community, the risk of recurrent stroke decreased mainly from the 1960s to 1990s, but there was no apparent decrease in recent years.

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of stroke — the second leading cause of death worldwide — were conducted predominantly in populations of European ancestry1,2. Here, in cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analyses of 110,182 patients who have had a stroke (five ancestries, 33% non-European) and 1,503,898 control individuals, we identify association signals for stroke and its subtypes at 89 (61 new) independent loci: 60 in primary inverse-variance-weighted analyses and 29 in secondary meta-regression and multitrait analyses. On the basis of internal cross-ancestry validation and an independent follow-up in 89,084 additional cases of stroke (30% non-European) and 1,013,843 control individuals, 87% of the primary stroke risk loci and 60% of the secondary stroke risk loci were replicated (P < 0.05). Effect sizes were highly correlated across ancestries. Cross-ancestry fine-mapping, in silico mutagenesis analysis3, and transcriptome-wide and proteome-wide association analyses revealed putative causal genes (such as SH3PXD2A and FURIN) and variants (such as at GRK5 and NOS3). Using a three-pronged approach4, we provide genetic evidence for putative drug effects, highlighting F11, KLKB1, PROC, GP1BA, LAMC2 and VCAM1 as possible targets, with drugs already under investigation for stroke for F11 and PROC. A polygenic score integrating cross-ancestry and ancestry-specific stroke GWASs with vascular-risk factor GWASs (integrative polygenic scores) strongly predicted ischaemic stroke in populations of European, East Asian and African ancestry5. Stroke genetic risk scores were predictive of ischaemic stroke independent of clinical risk factors in 52,600 clinical-trial participants with cardiometabolic disease. Our results provide insights to inform biology, reveal potential drug targets and derive genetic risk prediction tools across ancestries.

Background and Objective The objective of this case report was to identify a second-hit gene that may promote Moyamoya disease (MMD)–like vascular formation in an individual having the RNF213 p.R4810K variant. Methods We performed magnetic resonance imaging and genetic analyses of RNF213 and FLNA in a 21-year-old woman, who showed Ehlers-Danlos–like symptoms and developed a first-ever unprovoked seizure, and of her healthy parents. Results We identified bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) as the cause of seizures and MMD-like vascular formation in the patient. The patient had the RNF213 p.R4810K variant. Exome analysis identified c.4868delG in the X-linked FLNA gene encoding filamin A p.G1623V fs*41, which could explain PNH and Ehlers-Danlos–like symptoms. Her mother had the same FLNA variant and had asymptomatic bilateral PNH, whereas her father had the RNF213 variant and had normal cerebrovascular structure. Discussion The family study suggested that the FLNA variant promoted MMD-like vascular formation in a patient having the RNF213 variant, while the RNF213 variant amplified the phenotypic changes elicited by the FLNA abnormality. Collectively, we identified a gene abnormality in filamin A, a target of RNF213-mediated proteasomal degradation, that may promote MMD-like vascular formation as a possible second-hit gene in individuals having the RNF213 p.R4810K variant.

Antidiabetic sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have attracted attention for their cardiorenal-protective properties beyond their glucose-lowering effect. However, their benefits in ischemic stroke remain controversial. Here we show the effects of luseogliflozin, a selective SGLT2 inhibitor, in acute ischemic stroke, using a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) model in non-diabetic mice. Pretreatment with low-dose luseogliflozin, which does not affect blood glucose levels, significantly attenuated infarct volume, blood-brain barrier disruption, and motor dysfunction after pMCAO. SGLT2 was expressed predominantly in brain pericytes and was upregulated in peri- and intra-infarct areas. Notably, luseogliflozin pretreatment reduced pericyte loss in ischemic areas. In cultured pericytes, luseogliflozin activated AMP-activated protein kinase α and increased mitochondrial transcription factor A expression and number of mitochondria, conferring resistance to oxygen-glucose deprivation. Collectively, pre-stroke inhibition of SGLT2 induces ischemic tolerance in brain pericytes independent of the glucose-lowering effect, contributing to the attenuation of ischemic brain injury.

Background Very few comparative studies have focused on the differences in the causes of ischemic stroke between young adults and non-young adults. This study was performed to determine what causes of ischemic stroke are more important in young adults than in non-young adults using a large-scale multicenter hospital-based stroke registry in Fukuoka, Japan. Methods and results We investigated data on 15,860 consecutive patients aged ≥18 years with acute ischemic stroke (mean age: 73.5 ± 12.4 years, 58.2% men) who were hospitalized between 2007 and 2019. In total, 779 patients were categorized as young adults (≤50 years of age). Although vascular risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, were less frequent in young adults than in non-young adults, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia in young adults aged >40 years were comparable to those of non-young adults. Lifestyle-related risk factors such as smoking, drinking, and obesity were more frequent in young adults than in non-young adults. As young adults became older, the proportions of cardioembolism and stroke of other determined etiologies decreased, but those of large-artery atherosclerosis and small-vessel occlusion increased. Some embolic sources (high-risk sources: arterial myxoma, dilated cardiomyopathy, and intracardiac thrombus; medium-risk sources: atrial septal defect, nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis, patent foramen ovale, and left ventricular hypokinesis) and uncommon causes (vascular diseases: reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, moyamoya disease, other vascular causes, arterial dissection, and cerebral venous thrombosis; hematologic diseases: antiphospholipid syndrome and protein S deficiency) were more prevalent in young adults than in non-young adults, and these trends decreased with age. Conclusions Certain embolic sources and uncommon causes may be etiologically important causes of ischemic stroke in young adults. However, the contribution of conventional vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors is not negligible with advancing age, even in young adults.

We report a case of a 59-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/ acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who developed multiple small-vessel strokes during the immune reconstitution phase. The patient had been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS with a low CD4 count and high viral load and started combinational antiretroviral therapy (cART) with raltegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate seven months before the admission. He was admitted to our hospital with complaints of mild dysarthria and left-sided hemiparesis, but lacking consciousness/cognitive disturbances. Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) revealed multiple areas of hyperintensity in the anterior circulation system of the brain. Because we identified decreased activity of protein S through extensive examinations, we treated him initially with intravenous infusion of heparin sodium and aspirin; however, DWI detected multiple progressive small-vessel strokes after that. We considered that the immune reconstitution accounted for the small-vessel vasculopathy/vasculitis, leading to ischemic stroke. Therefore, we initiated oral administration of prednisolone, which successfully prevented stroke recurrence. This report describes a case of multiple small-vessel strokes following cART for AIDS during the immune reconstitution phase, effectively treated with steroids, which may often go undiagnosed due to their relatively mild symptoms.

Background and Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether variability of day-by-day blood pressure (BP) during the subacute stage of acute ischemic stroke is predictive of long-term stroke recurrence. Methods: We analyzed 7665 patients (mean±SD age: 72.9±13.1 years; women: 42.4%) hospitalized for first-ever ischemic stroke in 7 stroke centers in Fukuoka, Japan, from June 2007 to November 2018. BP was measured daily during the subacute stage (4-10 days after onset). Its mean and coefficient of variation (CV) values were calculated and divided into 4 groups according to the quartiles of these BP parameters. Patients were prospectively followed up for recurrent stroke or all-cause death. The cumulative event rate was calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method. We estimated the hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of the events of interest after adjusting for potential confounders and mean BP values using Cox proportional hazards models. The Fine-Gray model was also used to account for the competing risk of death. Results: With a mean (±SD) follow-up duration of 3.9±3.2 years, the rates of recurrent stroke and all-cause death were 3.9 and 9.9 per 100 patient-years, respectively. The cumulative event rates of recurrent stroke and all-cause death increased with increasing CVs of systolic BP and diastolic BP. The systolic BP CV was significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke after adjusting for multiple confounders and mean BP (hazard ratio [95% CI] for fourth quartile versus first quartile, 1.26 [1.05-1.50]); the risk of recurrent stroke also increased with an increasing systolic BP CV for nonfatal strokes (1.26 [1.05-1.51]) and when death was regarded as a competing risk (1.21 [1.02-1.45]). Similar associations were observed for the diastolic BP CV. Conclusions: Day-by-day variability of BP during the subacute stage of acute ischemic stroke was associated with an increased long-term risk of recurrent stroke.

A 63-year-old woman under treatment of autoimmune hepatitis presented with headache, memory loss, and somnolence. Three months before admission, the patient experienced liver inflammation relapse after prednisolone (PSL) cessation. Consequently, PSL was resumed and then tapered. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination showed lymphocytic pleocytosis with remarkably reduced glucose and elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme and soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed prominent bilateral periventricular white-matter lesions, hydrocephalus, ischemic stroke with gadolinium enhancement of frontoparietal and basilar meninges on contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) showed narrowing of the bilateral middle cerebral arteries. Based on these findings, we diagnosed the patient with neurosarcoidosis. Re-increment of PSL improved the neurological symptoms, CSF findings, and abnormalities found on MRI and MRA. This case suggests that neurosarcoidosis may occur as a complication of some autoimmune diseases during immunotherapy administration.

We report a 58-year-old woman who suddenly developed brain infarction with weakness of the left lower extremity and left perioral dysesthesia during postoperative tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer and prednisolone therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. Diffusion-weighted images detected multiple areas of hyperintensity in the posterior circulation system of the brain. Despite extensive examinations, we could not identify any embolic sources except hypoplasia of the right vertebral artery. We found decreased activity of protein C against its antigen level (activity: 59% versus antigen: 122%) with enhanced activity of coagulation factor VIII (178%) and von Willebrand factor (285%). DNA sequencing identified trinucleotide deletion of the PROC gene leading to 1 amino acid deletion at Lys-193 (p.Lys193del). We speculate that the PROC gene polymorphism may have participated in tamoxifen- and prednisolone- associated hypercoagulable state, leading to development of an embolic stroke in this patient.

Background: Angiotensin II (Ang II) can cause hypertension and tissue impairment via AGTR1 (Ang II receptor type 1), particularly in renal proximal tubule cells, and can cause DNA damage in renal cells via nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase. BubR1 (budding uninhibited by benzimidazole-related 1) is a multifaceted kinase that functions as a mitotic checkpoint. BubR1 expression can be induced by Ang II in smooth muscle cells in vitro, but the relationship between systemic BubR1 expression and the Ang II response is unclear. Methods and Results: Twenty 24-week-old male BubR1 low-expression mice (BubR1^L/L mice) and age-matched BubR1^+/+ mice were used in this study. We investigated how Ang II stimulation affects BubR1^L/L mice. The elevated systolic blood pressure caused by Ang II stimulation in BubR1^+/+ mice was significantly attenuated in BubR1^L/L mice. Additionally, an attenuated level of Ang II–induced perivascular fibrosis was observed in the kidneys of BubR1^L/L mice. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the overexpression of AGTR1 induced by Ang II stimulation was repressed in BubR1^L/L mice. We evaluated AGTR1 and Nox-4 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-4) levels to determine the role of BubR1 in the Ang II response. Results from in vitro assays of renal proximal tubule cells suggest that treatment with small interfering RNA targeting BubR1 suppressed Ang II-induced overexpression of AGTR1. Similarly, the upregulation in Nox4 and Jun N-terminal kinase induced by Ang II administration was repressed by treatment with small interfering RNA targeting BubR1. Conclusions: Ang II–induced hypertension is caused by AGTR1 overexpression in the kidneys via the upregulation of BubR1 and Nox4.

Annexin A1 (ANXA1) has multiple functions, including anti-inflammatory effects, and is thought to be neuroprotective in various pathophysiologies of the central nervous system. The importance of ANXA1 in microglia and endothelial cells in ischemic environments in the brain has been recognized, but its detailed behavior in astrocytes in the ischemic brain remains unknown. Using immunohistochemistry, we therefore assessed the altered distribution of ANXA1 in human brain infarcts using 14 autopsied samples and 18 surgical samples. Elevated expression of ANXA1 was observed in reactive astrocytes in peri-infarct regions. ANXA1 accumulated at the cell periphery and in swollen cytoplasmic processes of reactive astrocytes, as well as at the rim of vacuoles at the boundary of necrosis, and colocalized with aberrantly distributed aquaporin 4 and excitatory amino acid transporter 1. Foamy macrophages in the necrotic core also expressed abundant ANXA1, whereas resident microglia at the boundary of necrosis rarely showed intrinsic expression of ANXA1. This characteristic distribution of ANXA1 in human brain infarcts may represent the good adaptability of reactive astrocytes to ischemic damage.

Background and Aim: In recent years, interest in the quality of medical care has rapidly increased worldwide. However, quality indicators that contribute to establishing standard treatment in stroke medicine, especially rehabilitation, are not well-developed in Japan. Japan has established Kaifukuki (convalescent) rehabilitation wards, and the development of quality indicators for stroke rehabilitation in the convalescent phase is an urgent issue. Methods: We first reviewed the literature regarding quality indicators for stroke rehabilitation. Next, we extracted candidate indicators from identified reports and guidelines and surveyed educational hospitals certified by the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine. On the basis of the survey results, we reevaluated the suitability of the proposed indicators in discussions with an expert panel. Results: The questionnaire survey highlighted several important items that revealed there is room for improvement in adherence. For stroke rehabilitation in the convalescent phase, we adopted 15 indicators that were feasible as indicators to be used for comparisons between facilities, based on scoring by and opinions of the expert panel. These indicators measured structure (2 indicators), process (5 indicators), and outcome (8 indicators). Conclusion: This is the first study to establish quality indicators to standardize stroke rehabilitation in Japan. We developed this set of 15 indicators using an evidence-based approach. However, many tasks remain for continuous quality improvement.

Background: Differential diagnosis between acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and epilepsy-related stroke mimics is sometimes difficult in the emergency department. We investigated whether a combination of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and arterial spin labeling imaging (ASL) is useful in distinguishing AIS from epileptic disorders. Methods: The study included suspected AIS patients who underwent emergency MRI including both DWI and ASL, and who exhibited DWI high-intensity lesions corresponding to neurological symptoms. We investigated the relationship between the ASL results from within and/or around DWI lesions and the final clinical diagnosis. Results: Eighty-five cases were included (mean age, 71 ± 13 years; 47 men). The time from onset to the MRI examination was 493 ± 536 minutes. ASL showed hyperintensity in 13 patients, isointensity in 43, and hypointensity in 29. All ASL hyperintensities were observed in the cortex, with 4 patients (31%) presenting with AIS and 9 (69%) with an epileptic disorder. All of the AIS patients with ASL hyperintensity were diagnosed with cardioembolic stroke (4/4, 100%), with magnetic resonance angiography demonstrating recanalization of the occluded artery in all cases (4/4, 100%). In the 9 patients with an epileptic disorder, the area of ASL hyperintensity typically extended beyond the vascular territory (7/9, 78%) and involved the ipsilateral thalamus (7/9, 78%). All patients with ASL isointensity and hypointensity were diagnosed with AIS; none had epileptic disorders. Conclusions: Although cortical ASL hyperintensity can indicate cardioembolic stroke with recanalization, hyperintensity beyond the vascular territory may alternatively suggest an epileptic disorder in suspected AIS patients with DWI lesions.

Background This study aimed at determining whether diabetes or glucose metabolism is associated with ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation. MethodsWe included 10,245 patients with acute ischemic stroke (mean age 72.7 ± 12.5 years, men 59.5%) who were enrolled in a multicenter hospital-based stroke registry in Fukuoka, Japan, between June 2007 and August 2016. Posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) was defined as brain infarction in the territory of the posterior cerebral artery and vertebro-basilar arteries. We investigated the associations between diabetes or glycemic parameters, including plasma glucose concentrations, hemoglobin A1c, and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and PCIS using logistic regression analysis. To improve covariate imbalance, we further evaluated associations after propensity score matching using 1:1 nearest neighbor matching and inverse probability weighting.ResultsDiabetes was significantly associated with PCIS even after adjusting for multiple confounding factors (odds ratio - OR [95% confidence interval], 1.37 [1.25-1.50]). Similarly, fasting (1.07 [1.02-1.12]/SD), casual plasma glucose (1.16 [1.11-1.20]/SD) concentrations, and hemoglobin A1c (1.12 [1.08-1.17]/SD), but not HOMA-IR (1.02 [0.97-1.07]/SD), were associated with PCIS. These associations were maintained in patients with ischemic stroke because of thrombotic etiology and were unchanged even after the propensity score matching methods. In patients with diabetes, the ORs of PCIS further increased with an increase in hemoglobin A1c and the presence of microvascular complications.ConclusionsPoor glycemic control may be associated with an increased risk of thrombotic infarction that occurs preferentially in the posterior circulation of the brain.

Background: Covert paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (CPAF) is a major cause of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). However, detecting PAF during hospitalization in these patients is difficult. Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether findings of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during hospitalization are associated with later detection of PAF in patients with ESUS. Method: We retrospectively studied 348 patients with ESUS who were admitted to our hospital within 1 week of onset. These patients met the criteria of ESUS, underwent TEE during hospitalization, and were followed up for at least 1 year. Results: We found PAF in 35 (10.0%) patients. In patients with PAF, spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) and low left atrial appendage flow (LAAF) by TEE and enlargement of the left atrial dimension (LAD) by transthoracic echocardiography were identified more frequently compared with those who did not have PAF. In multivariate analysis, SEC and an LAD ≥42 mm were independently associated with later detection of PAF (p < 0.05). An association of LAAF <46.9 cm/s and PAF was marginal (p = 0.09). The specificity of the combined finding of SEC and/or LAAF with that of LAD increased up to 90%, while that of LAD alone was 70%. Conclusions: The findings of TEE during hospitalization may be useful for identifying patients at increased risk of CPAF in patients with ESUS.

We report a 35-year-old woman who suddenly developed left hemiparesis and dysarthria at 13 days after treatment with intrathecal and intravenous methotrexate for intravascular large B cell lymphoma with possible central nervous system infiltration. Seven hours after onset, she developed further right hemiparesis and aphasia. However, the majority of neurologic symptoms disappeared spontaneously and completely by 34 hours. We also recorded the dynamic progression and regression of abnormal signals in the bilateral corona radiata on diffusion-weighted imaging, in parallel with neurologic symptoms. The rapid reversal of MR abnormalities and neurologic symptoms allowed us to diagnose methotrexate encephalopathy, and exclude intravascular large B cell lymphoma recurrence and regular brain infarction. The case provides new data on the dynamic changes of abnormal signals on magnetic resonance imaging in methotrexate encephalopathy over a short recovery time.

Background: The safety of antithrombotic therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke harboring unruptured intracranial aneurysms remains unclear. Aims: This study was performed to determine whether treatment with antiplatelets, anticoagulants, or intravenous thrombolytic agents is safe for patients with acute ischemic stroke and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Methods: Among 9149 patients with acute ischemic stroke enrolled in the Fukuoka Stroke Registry from June 2007 to December 2014, 8857 patients with data on cerebrovascular imaging and three-month outcomes were included in this study. The frequency of adverse events, including intracranial hemorrhage, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and in-hospital mortality, was compared between patients with and without unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The risk of a poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale score of ≥3) at three months after stroke onset was estimated after adjusting for confounding factors by logistic regression analysis. Results: Unruptured intracranial aneurysms were identified in 412 (4.7%) patients, and the mean diameter was 4.1 ± 3.2 mm. There was no significant difference in the frequency of any adverse events between patients with and without unruptured intracranial aneurysms among the overall patients or patients receiving antiplatelets, anticoagulants, or intravenous thrombolytic agents. The odds ratios of a poor functional outcome were not significantly higher in the presence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, even in patients undergoing antiplatelet therapy, anticoagulation therapy, or intravenous thrombolysis. Conclusions: These findings suggest that unruptured intracranial aneurysms are not associated with increased risks of adverse events or poor functional outcomes even after antithrombotic therapy for acute ischemic stroke. However, accumulation of cases is required to verify these findings.

Importance: It is unknown whether poststroke outcome varies between different potential causes in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Objective: To investigate whether functional outcome differs according to potential embolic sources after cryptogenic stroke. Design, Setting, and Participants: This multicenter, hospital-based, prospective stroke registry cohort study investigated potential embolic sources on admission and assessed 3-month outcome in patients with ischemic stroke hospitalized at 7 stroke centers in the Fukuoka Stroke Registry. This registry enlisted 9866 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who were enrolled from June 11, 2007, to May 31, 2016, in Fukuoka, Japan. Patients with small vessel occlusion (n = 3130), extracranial and intracranial atherosclerosis causing at least 50% luminal stenosis in arteries supplying the area of ischemia (n = 2011), and other specific uncommon causes of stroke identified (n = 301) were excluded. Potential embolic sources were diagnosed in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) based on the following criteria proposed by the Cryptogenic Stroke/ESUS International Working Group: minor-risk potential cardioembolic sources (MCS) (n = 209), covert paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (CPAF) (n = 43), cancer associated (CA) (n = 79), arteriogenic emboli (AE) (n = 522), paradoxical embolism (PE) (n = 190), and undetermined embolism (unidentified or ≥2 potential embolic sources) (UE) (n = 1120). Main Outcomes and Measures: The association between potential causes and functional outcome was evaluated in reference to cardioembolic stroke (CE) caused by major-risk cardioembolic sources after adjusting for age, sex, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission, and reperfusion therapy using logistic regression analysis. Functional dependency (modified Rankin Scale score, 3-5) was evaluated at 3 months after onset. Results: The study enrolled 2261 patients with CE (mean [SD] age, 78.4 [10.7] years, 51.8% male) and 2163 patients with ESUS (mean [SD] age, 72.4 [12.6] years, 57.1% male). Compared with CE (median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 8 [interquartile range {IQR}, 3-17]), baseline neurological deficits did not differ in MCS (median, 7 [IQR, 2-18]), CPAF (median, 6 [IQR, 2-18]), and CA (median, 5 [IQR, 2-13]) but were less severe in AE (median, 2 [IQR, 1-4]), PE (median, 2 [IQR, 1-4]), and UE (median, 3 [IQR, 1-7]). Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios of functional dependency significantly increased in CA (3.61; 95% CI, 1.52-8.54 vs CE) but decreased in PE (0.33; 95% CI, 0.16-0.71 vs CE). Conclusions and Relevance: Potential causes are associated with poststroke outcome in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Embolic sources potentially underlying cryptogenic stroke should be considered significant variables associated with outcome.

Background: Atrial septal defects have a low prevalence in the general population, and are recognized as a rare cause of paradoxical brain embolism. Methods: We extensively examined stroke causes in patients with acute stroke admitted to a single stroke center within 1 year. Results: Among 186 consecutive patients, transesophageal or transthoracic echocardiography revealed 5 cases of paradoxical brain embolism: 3 (1.6%) were related to atrial septal defects, whereas 2 were patent foramen ovale patients. Although right-to-left shunt may have occurred after the development of acute pulmonary embolism in atrial septal defects case #1, the Valsalva maneuver elicited right-to-left shunt in atrial septal defects cases #2 and #3. The 3 cases were elderly (>60 years old), harbored small defects with normal systemic hemodynamics, and had not experienced any clinical symptoms related to atrial septal defects. Conclusions: Small atrial septal defect may cause paradoxical embolism as its initial related event, particularly in elderly subjects.

Background We investigated the prevalence of and risk factors for cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in a cross-sectional study of a general population of Japanese elderly. Methods In 2012, brain MRI scanning at 1.5T and comprehensive health examination were conducted for 1281 residents aged 65 years or older. CMBs were defined as ovoid hypointensity lesions less than 10 mm in diameter on T2-weighted images and classified into deep/infratentorial or lobar CMBs. Age- and sex-specific and overall prevalence of CMBs were estimated, and the associations of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and APOE polymorphism with the presence of CMBs were examined using a logistic regression analysis. Results The crude prevalences of total, deep/infratentorial, and lobar CMBs were 18.7% (n = 240), 13.5% (n = 173), and 9.6% (n = 123), respectively. The prevalence of total CMBs was 23.0% in men and 15.5% in women and increased with aging in both sexes (both p for trend <0.01). Hypertension was significantly associated with the presence of both deep/infratentorial and lobar CMBs. Lower serum total cholesterol was a significant risk factor for deep/infratentorial CMBs, but not for lobar CMBs, while APOE ϵ4 carriers had a significantly higher likelihood only of lobar CMBs compared with noncarriers. Conclusions Our study suggests that approximately 1 of 5 Japanese elderly people have CMBs, and that risk factors for deep/infratentorial and lobar CMBs are different, indicating the distinct pathologic backgrounds of these lesions.

Background: Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome, is the most common phenotype of mitochondrial disease. It often develops in childhood or adolescence, usually before the age of 40, in a maternally-inherited manner. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are frequently responsible for MELAS. Case presentation: A 55-year-old man, who had no family or past history of mitochondrial disorders, suddenly developed bilateral visual field constriction and repeated stroke-like episodes. He ultimately presented with cortical blindness, recurrent epilepsy and severe cognitive impairment approximately 6 months after the first episode. Genetic analysis of biopsied biceps brachii muscle, but not of peripheral white blood cells, revealed a T10158C mutation in the mtDNA-encoded gene of NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 (ND3), which has previously been thought to be associated with severe or fatal mitochondrial disorders that develop during the neonatal period or in infancy. Conclusion: A T10158C mutation in the ND3 gene can cause atypical adult-onset stroke-like episodes in a sporadic manner.

脳機能遂行の中心をなすのは神経細胞である。しかし、脳の中には神経細胞のみならずアストロサイト、オリゴデンドロサイト、ミクログリア、など種々のグリア細胞が存在する。正常に神経細胞を機能させるためには、これらグリア細胞による構造的かつ機能的サポートが不可欠である。加えて、神経細胞の近傍にはかならず内皮細胞およびペリサイトによって形成される血液脳関門を有した毛細血管が存在し、需要に応じた適切な血流供給を行っている。脳機能の生理ならびに病理を考える際には、神経細胞のみに着目することなく、これをサポートする神経系および血管系すべての細胞をひとつの単位-neurovascular unit(NVU)-として捉える必要がある。この概念は、傷害発生後の機能回復を考えるうえでも重要である。本稿では、脳梗塞発症前から発症後機能回復に至るまでの過程において、NVUを構成する細胞群がどのように相互作用し危機的状況に対応しようとするのか、私見を含めて概説してみたい。(著者抄録)
