Background Study aimed at investigation of pathogenic role and prognostic value of several
selected cerebrospinal fluid acute phase factors that can reflect the severity of ischemic …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the implication of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and
interleukine-6 (IL-6) in acute ischemic stroke and to correlate this with lesion size, vascular …

The inflammation plays a critical role in the stroke onset and even in the worsening of the
lesions. Therefore, the investigation of inflammatory response in the acute stage may …

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 …

Objectives: Our aim was to explore (i) difference in concentration of IL-6, TNF-&# 945; and IL-
10 between acute ischemic stroke patients and control individuals;(ii) the association of …

Studies in different populations have shown that ischemic stroke can trigger an acute phase
response resulting in a rise of plasma concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP). However …

Background Cerebral ischemia promotes morphological reactions of the neurons,
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia in experimental studies. Our aim was to …

Stroke-induced inflammatory reaction, which leads to invasion of leukocytes into the
evolving brain infarct, seems to play a key role in the deterioration of brain ischaemic …

During a stroke, a series of biochemical and metabolic changes occur which eventually lead
to the death of cells by necrosis or apoptosis. This is a multi-stage process involving …

Objectives–The study aimed to evaluate the levels of an important proinflammatory cytokine
tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum in acute stroke and …
