    Higher Plasma Osteopontin Concentrations Associated with Subsequent Development of Chronic Shunt-Dependent Hydrocephalus After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    A matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) is considered to exert neuroprotective and healing effects on neurovascular injuries in an acute phase of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, the relati...

    Machine Learning Analysis of Matricellular Proteins and Clinical Variables for Early Prediction of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    Although delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a well-known complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), there are no reliable biomarkers to predict DCI development. Matricellular proteins (MCPs) have been r...

    Dose-Dependent Inhibitory Effects of Cilostazol on Delayed Cerebral Infarction After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    Cilostazol is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type III that downregulates tenascin-C (TNC), a matricellular protein, which may cause delayed cerebral infarction after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrh...

    Anti-vasospastic Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Mice

    Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease. Cerebral vasospasm is still an important cause of post-SAH poor outcomes, but its mechanisms remain unveiled. Activation of epidermal growth factor recep...

    Increased Plasma Galectin-3 Preceding the Development of Delayed Cerebral Infarction and Eventual Poor Outcome in Non-Severe Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    A matricellular protein galectin-3 is involved in tissue injury and inflammation, but the role of galectin-3 remains unclear in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The purpose of this study was to assess...

    Effects of Toll-Like Receptor 4 Antagonists Against Cerebral Vasospasm After Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Mice

    Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling may play a crucial role in the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The main purpose of this study was to assess if selective blockage of ...

    Higher Cerebrospinal Fluid pH may Contribute to the Development of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    Recent investigations have shown that many factors may cause delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). To find new potential contributors to DCI, this retrospective study ...
