Advancement in the Pathophysiology of Cerebral Stroke
暫譯: 腦中風病理生理學的進展

本書提供了導致缺血性中風的各種風險因素的詳細和全面的機制性見解，以及針對這些風險因素的新型治療干預措施。第一部分討論了不同的缺血性腦中風引起的炎症途徑和血腦屏障的功能障礙。書的後面幾個部分探討了內質網壓力和線粒體自噬在腦中風中的作用，並介紹了用於識別動脈阻塞的不同神經影像技術，如計算機斷層掃描（Computed tomography, CT）、磁共振成像（Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI）、正電子發射斷層掃描（Positron emission tomography, PET）和單光子發射計算機斷層掃描（Single-Photon emission computed tomography, SPECT）。最後一部分包含專注於各種神經保護策略和新興治療干預措施以對抗中風病理生理的章節。這些章節涵蓋了幹細胞療法的作用、低頻電磁輻射（Low-frequency electromagnetic radiations, LF-EMR）的治療效果，以及非編碼RNA（如微小RNA）作為缺血性中風診斷、預後和治療的生物標記的意涵。
