Background: Early inflammation has been suggested as an important factor contributing to
unfavorable prognosis after acute ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to clarify the …

The inflammatory response is an unavoidable process and contributes to the destruction of
cerebral tissue during the acute ischemic stroke (AIS) phase and has not been addressed …

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to explore (i) the difference in concentration of IL-6, TNF-α and IL-
10 between acute ischemic stroke patients and control individuals;(ii) the association of …

Acute cerebral ischemia triggers local and systemic immune response. The aims of this
project was to assess the blood serum concentration of the markers of inflammation and …

Background Complete blood count derived indexes such as lymphocyte-to-neutrophil ratio
(NLR) may help in predicting pneumonia and prognosis in acute stroke. However, the …

The key circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and their interaction in peripheral
inflammation after acute cerebral ischemia are poorly understood. CD40L, IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL …

Background and Purpose—The mechanisms for clinical deterioration in patients with
ischemic stroke are not completely understood. Several proinflammatory cytokines are …

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries and one of the largest
causes of permanent disability worldwide. Therapeutic options to fight stroke are still limited …

Background our objective was to examine the plasma levels of three biological markers
involved in cerebral ischemia (IL-6, glutamate and TNF-alpha) in stroke patients and …

Although many failed surrogate markers are provided in the literature, inflammation may
contribute to the outcome of ischemic stroke. In 50 consecutive patients with acute ischemic …
