It was believed that there were only two patterns of cell death named after necrosis and apoptosis in the past.With the progress of research,scholars have found that there also existed other cell death patterns.However,the mechanisms and relationships between cell death patterns are still unclear,especially in the neuronal cell death.This review focuses on the cell death patterns and their relationships during ischemic stroke,in order to provide the theoretical basis and new ideas for the further study of neuronal cell death,and for the treatment of ischemic stroke.
2.CD20 +T cells in multiple sclerosis
Chinese Journal of Neurology 2024;57(1):92-97
CD20 is a classic marker expressed by B cells. However, recent studies have found that CD20 is also dimly expressed on a small subset of CD3 +T cells, and the CD20 +T cells play an important proinflammatory role in multiple sclerosis (MS). Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies selectively deplete CD20 +T cells and effectively suppress inflammatory disease activity. Although CD20 +T cells have received increasing attention, the understanding of these cells is currently still in its infancy. This article provides an overview of the current knowledge about advanced progress of CD20 +T cells as well as their roles in MS.

Objective To investigate the effect of statin pretreatment on collateral circulation and prognoses of patients with cardiac large artery occlusive stroke.MethodsFifty-three patients with cardiac large artery occlusive stroke admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to July 2019 were selected. All patients had unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion. DSA was used to evaluate the collateral flows, and the differences of collateral flows and prognoses in patients took statins before onset were compared with those did not take statins.ResultsAs compared with patients did not take statins, patients took statins had higher incidences of diabetes and coronary heart disease, lower content of low density cholesterol, higher proportion of patients with good collateral circulation (grading 3 to 4), and lower modified Rankin scale scores 3 months after surgery, with statistically significant differences (P< 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that percentage of patients took statins was independent factors affecting collateral flow in patients with cardiac arterial occlusive stroke(OR=5.000, 95%CI: 1.136-22.006,P=0.033).ConclusionIn patients with cardiac large artery occlusive stroke, statin pretreatment could improve collateral flow and clinical prognoses.
