Remote Organ Damage Induced by Stroke: Molecular Mechanisms and Comprehensive Interventions.

Abstract

Significance: Damage after stroke is not only limited to the brain but also often occurs in remote organs, including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, digestive tract, and spleen, which are frequently affected by complex pathophysiological changes. The organs in the human body are closely connected, and signals transmitted through various molecular substances could regulate the pathophysiological changes of remote organs. Recent Advances: The latest studies have shown that inflammatory response plays an important role in remote organ damage after stroke, and can aggravate remote organ damage by activating oxidative stress, sympathetic axis, and hypothalamic axis, and disturbing immunological homeostasis. Remote organ damage can also cause damage to the brain, aggravating inflammatory response and oxidative damage. Critical Issues: Therefore, an in-depth exploration of inflammatory and oxidative mechanisms and adopting corresponding comprehensive intervention strategies have become necessary to reduce damage to remote organs and promote brain protection. Future Directions: The comprehensive intervention strategy involves multifaceted treatment methods such as inflammation regulation, antioxidants, and neural stem cell differentiation. It provides a promising treatment alternative for the comprehensive recovery of stroke patients and an inspiration for future research and treatment. The various organs of the human body are interconnected at the molecular level. Only through comprehensive intervention at the molecular and organ levels can we save remote organ damage and protect the brain after stroke to the greatest extent. Antioxid.
