2. Association between aphasia and risk of dementia after stroke.

Author

Abstract

Background and Purpose: Although findings from published studies suggest post-stroke aphasia is associated with an increased risk of dementia, few studies have evaluated its association in a nationally representative cohort with long-term follow-up. No studies have reported data by type of stroke. Therefore, we examined the association between post-stroke aphasia and the risk of developing dementia.Methods: Using claims data from Taiwan's universal health insurance program, a cohort of patients ≥18 years old with an initial hospitalization for stroke in 2002-2005 were identified and followed up until December 31, 2016. Patients with newly diagnosed aphasia during stroke hospitalization or within 6 months of discharge were defined as the aphasia group. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for developing overall, vascular, and non-vascular dementia in patients with and without post-stroke aphasia.Results: During a median follow-up period of 7.9 and 8.6 years for the aphasia (n=17063) and non-aphasia groups (n=105940), respectively, overall dementia incidence was similar, whereas vascular dementia incidence was higher in the aphasia group (7.52 vs. 5.52 per 1000 person-years). The adjusted HRs (95% confidence intervals) were 1.11 (1.06-1.17), 1.42 (1.31-1.53), and 0.94 (0.88-1.01) for overall, vascular, and non-vascular dementia, respectively. The association between aphasia and the risk of vascular dementia did not differ by stroke type (P for interaction=0.43). The analysis of 16856 propensity score-matched pairs revealed similar results.Conclusion: Patients with post-stroke aphasia have an increased risk of developing vascular dementia irrespective of the type of stroke.

Abstract

Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Gastrodia elata (GE) Blume (family Orchidaceae) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine for treating headaches, dizziness, tetanus, and epilepsy, indicating neuronal protective functions. Aim of the study: To evaluate the neuroprotection of GE and its molecular mechanism in preventing serum deprivation-induced PC12 cell apoptosis. Materials and methods: An MTT assay and Hoechst staining were used to respectively validate serum deprivation-induced cell death and apoptosis. Cyclic (c)AMP formation and protein kinase (PK)A activity were also measured after GE treatment. Western blotting was used to detect the phosphorylation of the cAMP response element-binding (CREB) protein. Transient transfection of a dominant negative CREB was used to validate the importance of CREB. Results: GE targeted the adenosine A2A receptor (A2A-R). GE increased cAMP formation, PKA activity, and phosphorylation of the CREB protein. GE-induced CREB protein phosphorylation and protection was blocked by a PKA inhibitor and overexpression of the dominant negative CREB, respectively. Conclusions: These results support the neuroprotective effects of GE. The protective mechanism might be mediated through an A2A-R/cAMP/PKA/CREB-dependent pathway. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that involves multiple systems. Complications in the nervous system are rare, especially in Asia. This report describes an unusual case of neurosarcoidosis affecting the spinal cord and other systems in a 53-year-old Taiwanese women patient. The patient presented with subacute onset of right arm radicular pain followed by quadriparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hyperintense lesion on T2WI in the cervical spinal cord. The patient also had a history of facial neuropathy, bilateral parotid enlargement, intrathoracic lymphadenopathy, hypercalcemia, nephrocalcinosis, and renal function impairment. Parotid gland biopsy showed granulomatous lesion with multinucleated giant cells. Sarcoidosis was diagnosed after other possibilities were excluded. Oral steroid treatment resulted in initial significant clinical improvement. Awareness of the systemic and neurological presentations of sarcoidosis can prompt the correct diagnosis and treatment.
