Does thrombus Permeability be Associated With Improved Functional Outcome and Recanalization in Patients With Ischemic Stroke?
This study shows that simultaneous measurement of thrombus attenuation in noncontrast computed tomography and computed tomographic angiography allows for quantification of thrombus perviousness. Thrombus perviousness is strongly associated with improved functional outcome, smaller final infarct volume, and higher recanalization rate.
HBO activates visfatin expression in cultured human CAECs. HBO-induced visfatin is mediated by TNF-α and at least in part through JNK pathway.
