Other outcomes measured in this study included score changes of 0–2 and 0–3 on the mRS. The occurrence of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage at 24 hours after EVT was also measured as a safety endpoint. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the associations. Results In the LAA group, no significant difference in mRS at 90-day (median IQR 3 (2–5) vs 4 (3–4), 95% CI 0.53 to 2.00, p=0.924), mRS 0–2 and mRS 0–3 was observed between EVT and MM groups. However, in the non-LAA group, patients who underwent EVT had lower 90-day mRS scores (4 (2–5) vs 4 (3–5), generalised OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.88, p<0.001). No interaction effect on the primary outcomes between treatment options and aetiology. More intracranial haemorrhage events within 48 hours were identified in the EVT group for both LAA and non-LAA cohorts (LAA: 40.98% vs 9.62%, relative risk (RR) 4.26, 95% CI 1.76 to 10.34, p<0.001; non-LAA, 52.07% vs 19.65%, RR 2.65, 95% CI 1.90 to 3.70, respectively). Conclusions For large infarcts, EVT may be more effective than MM for patients with non-LAA aetiology, but not for those with LAA stroke. As no interaction effect was found, the benefit of EVT compared with MM did not vary by stroke subtypes.

Methods Safety and Efficacy of Aspirin-Clopidogrel in Acute Noncardiogenic Minor Ischemic Stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score≤5) is a prospective cohort study involving patients with minor ischaemic stroke within 72 hours of symptom onset. The DAPT group was further categorised into three subgroups: shorter duration (<10 days), short duration (10–21 days) and long duration (>21 days). The primary efficacy and safety outcomes were composite vascular event and severe bleeding during 90 days. Results Among 3061 eligible patients (age was 61.7±12.0 years, 73.3% were men, median (IQR) NIHSS score, 2 (1–3)), 2977 (97.4%) completed the follow-up. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) were administered in 61.0% and 39.0% of patients. Among them, 305 patients (16.8%) received a shorter duration of DAPT, 937 patients (51.7%) received a short duration and 572 patients (31.5%) received a long duration. In the propensity-weighted Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, the use of DAPT in the short-duration group was associated with a lower risk of the primary vascular event outcome (HR (HR)=0.66, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.94, p=0.02) compared with SAPT group. The incidence of severe bleeding events at 90 days was similar. Similar findings were obtained from the propensity score-matching analysis. Conclusion Short duration of DAPT (10–21 days) is superior to SAPT in minor stroke within 72 hours, reducing 90-day composite vascular events without increasing bleeding risk.

However, the role of the miR-19-3 p/GRSF1/COX1 axis has not been investigated in an experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) model. Thus, we investigated the role of the miR-19-3 p/GRSF1/COX1 axis in a SAH-induced early brain injury (EBI) course. Methods Primary neurons were treated with oxyhaemoglobin (OxyHb) to simulate in vitro SAH. The rat SAH model was established by injecting autologous arterial blood into the optic chiasma cisterna. The GRSF1 level was downregulated or upregulated by treating the rats and neurons with lentivirus- GRSF1 shRNA (Lenti- GRSF1 shRNA) or lentivirus- GRSF1 (Lenti- GRSF1 ). Results The miR-19-3 p level was upregulated and the protein levels of GRSF1 and COX1 were both downregulated in SAH brain tissue. GRSF1 silence decreased and GRSF1 overexpression increased the protein levels of GRSF1 and COX1 in primary neurons and brain tissue, respectively. Lenti- GRSF1 shRNA aggravated, but Lenti- GRSF1 alleviated, the indicators of neuronal injury and neurological impairment in both in vitro and in vivo SAH conditions. In addition, miR-19-3 p mimic reduced the protein levels of GRSF1 and COX1 in cultured neurons while miR-19-3 p inhibitor increased them. More importantly, Lenti- GRSF1 significantly relieved mitochondrial damage of neurons exposed to OxyHb or induced by SAH and was beneficial to maintaining mitochondrial integrity. Lenti- GRSF1 shRNA treatment, conversely, aggravated mitochondrial damage in neurons. Conclusion The miR-19-3 p/GRSF1/COX1 axis may serve as an underlying target for inhibiting SAH-induced EBI by maintaining mitochondrial integrity.

Clinical outcome was evaluated 90 days after the procedure using the modified Rankin Scale; a score>2 was defined as poor outcome.

Understanding whether aECAD is associated with an increased risk for AD is important as it is present in roughly 10% of the population over 60 and could represent a modifiable risk factor for AD and non-AD dementia. Methods This retrospective cohort study analysed Mariner insurance claims. Enrolment criteria included patients aged 55 years or older with at least 5 years of data and no initial dementia diagnosis. Subjects with and without aECAD were evaluated for subsequent AD and non-AD dementia diagnoses. Propensity score matching was performed using confounding factors identified by logistic regression. χ2 tests and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to evaluate the impact of aECAD diagnosis on AD and non-AD dementia risk over time. Results 767 354 patients met enrolment criteria. After propensity score matching, 62 963 subjects with aECAD and 62 963 subjects without ECAD were followed through data records.
