The Combination of Individual Herb of Mi-Jian-Chang-Pu Formula Exerts a Synergistic Effect in the Treatment of Ischemic Stroke in Rats.

Scientists studied the neuroprotective effects of the traditional Chinese medicine formula Mi-Jian-Chang-Pu on ischemic stroke (IS) using pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and metabolomics. They tested the individual herbs and major active components of the formula on rats with MCAO-induced brain damage. The study found that MJCPF had a synergistic effect, demonstrating small infarct volume and improved neural function. The levels of inflammatory factors were brought closer to normal. The formula also promoted drug absorption greater than other compounds tested. The findings suggest the scientific potential of TMC formulas in treating ischemic stroke.

Jamaican Susumber Berry Poisoning Mimicking Acute Stroke.

Researchers examined a case of a patient who presented with stroke-like symptoms, which were later attributed to SB toxicity. While SB toxicity is a rare cause of stroke mimic, this study emphasizes the importance of considering non-vascular conditions in cases of acute neurological deficits.
