Does chronic 30-Hz deep cerebellar stimulation coupled with training enhance post-ischemia motor recovery and peri-infarct synaptophysin expression in rodents?
These results indicate that chronic activation of ascending cerebellofugal pathways enhances motor recovery after focal cortical ischemia. The recovery was associated with an increase in perilesional cortical plasticity relative to nontreated controls.
ISR after DES implantation is significantly related to plasma levels of PAI-1 active antigen before and after PCI. If confirmed by larger multicenter studies, the determination of PAI-1 plasma levels might be clinically helpful in the identification of patients at high risk of developing of ISR, even after DES implantation.
