Construction of Nanomaterials and the Role of Rutin in the Treatment of Cerebral Hemorrhage by Xin Li, Zhenzhong Gao

“…Then, the nanocomposite of rutin electrochemical detection is analyzed, and finally rutin and analog brain drug dynamics is discussed. The experimental results showed that the RSD of samples at room temperature, freeze-thaw cycles, and long-term stability of the mice were less than 5.0%, and the stability of mouse brain tissue homogenate samples completely meets the requirements of troxerutin, rutin, and troxerutin aglycone.…”

Galectin-3: A Novel Marker for the Prediction of Stroke Incidence and Clinical Prognosis by Ahmed Sayed, Malak Munir, Mohamed S. Attia, Badrah S. Alghamdi, Ghulam Md Ashraf, Eshak I. Bahbah, Mohamed Elfil

“…Among these proteins, a few studies investigated mainly the roles played by galectin-1 (Gal-1) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) in the molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis and in brain tissue remodeling after a stroke event. In this review, we present an updated overview of the current understanding of Gal-3’s functions and implications in stroke occurrence and the response of the brain tissue to stroke events, which may be a key to its utility as a predictor of stroke incidence and clinical prognosis in the future.…”
