Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Treadmill exercise ameliorates focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced neurological deficit by promoting dendritic modification and synaptic plasticity via upregulating caveolin-1/VEGF signaling pathways

Useless, what EXACT PROTOCOL is still unknown, and no clue as to what type of treadmill is used.  Now we are going to need human testing followup which will never occur because NO one is in charge of stroke. It is rudderless and survivors have to take the consequences of poor recovery because of the massive failures of the stroke medical world.

Treadmill exercise ameliorates focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced neurological deficit by promoting dendritic modification and synaptic plasticity via upregulating caveolin-1/VEGF signaling pathways

Highlights

•
Treadmill exercise promotes dendritic and synaptic plasticity in the penumbra after ischemia reperfusion
•
The caveolin-1/VEGF signaling pathway has positive effects on dendritic and synaptic plasticity in the penumbra.
•
Treadmill exercise ameliorates dendritic and synaptic plasticity via upregulating caveolin-1/VEGF signaling pathways.

Abstract

Dendritic and synaptic plasticity in the penumbra are important processes and are considered to be therapeutic targets of ischemic stroke. Treadmill exercise is known to be a beneficial treatment following stroke. However, its effects and potential mechanism in promoting dendritic and synaptic plasticity remain unknown. We have previously demonstrated that the caveolin-1/VEGF signaling pathway plays a positive role in angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Here, we further investigated the effects of treadmill exercise on promoting dendritic and synaptic plasticity in the penumbra and whether they involve the caveolin-1/VEGF signaling pathway. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) animal model was established, and rats were randomly divided into eleven groups. At 2 days after MCAO, rats were subjected to treadmill exercise for 7 or 28 days. Daidzein (a specific inhibitor of caveolin-1, 0.4 mg/kg) was used to confirm the effect of caveolin-1/VEGF signaling on exercise-mediated dendritic and synaptic plasticity. Neurobehavioral performance, tissue morphology and infarct volumes were detected by Modified Neurology Severity Score (mNSS), Hematoxylin-eosin (HE), and Nissl staining, while neural plasticity and its molecular mechanism were examined by Golgi-Cox staining, transmission electron microscopy, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence. We found that treadmill exercise promoted dendritic plasticity in the penumbra, consistent with the significant increase in caveolin-1 and VEGF expression; improved neurological recovery; and reduced infarct volume. In contrast to the positive effects of the treadmill, a caveolin-1 inhibitor abrogated the dendritic and synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, we observed that treadmill exercise-induced improved dendritic and synaptic plasticity were significantly inhibited by the caveolin-1 inhibitor, consistent with the lower expression of caveolin-1 and VEGF, as well as the worse neurobehavioral state. The findings indicate that treadmill exercise ameliorates focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced neurological deficit by promoting dendritic and synaptic plasticity via upregulating caveolin-1/VEGF signaling pathways.
