Brief summary
Neuroprotection is expected to be an important therapeutic strategy for acute ischemic stroke(AIS), but almost all neuroprotective drugs proved effective in rodent models have failed after entering clinical trials. This study aims to screen the differentially expressed proteins in peripheral blood of patients with acute ischemic stroke and with further study in the animal model of non-human primate cerebral infarction, we may determine the biomarkers that can evaluate the efficacy of neuroprotective drugs.
Detailed description
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), is a major disease which cause death and disability. Globally, ischemic stroke is the second most common cause of death from vascular diseases and the third most common cause of disability. For decades, neuroprotection has been highly expected as an important treatment for cerebral ischemia, but almost all neuroprotective drugs proved effective in rodent models have failed in clinical trials. In this study, we enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke, collecting their peripheral blood samples at 1 day and 3 months of onset. Neuropsychological scales evaluation and imaging evaluation were also completed at 1 day, 7 day and 3 months of onset respectively. Correlation research in combination with the patient's clinical information were conducted to preliminarily screen the proteins related to the prognosis of neurological function, which was reflected by patients' mRS scores at 3 months of onset, in peripheral blood. Further study in the animal model of non-human primate cerebral infarction may determine the biomarkers that can evaluate the efficacy of neuroprotective drugs.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proteins related to the Modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score of 3 months. | 3 months | Disability by the Modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score ranging from 0-6. Higher score indicates worse function. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) score at 3 months. | 3 months | Disability by the National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) score ranging from 0-42. Higher score indicates worse function. |
| Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) | 3 months | Cognitive assessment by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) ranging from 0 to 30. Lower score indicates worse cognitive function. |
| Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) | 3 months | Depression assessment by Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) ranging from 0 to 80. Higher score indicates worse status. |
| Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) | 3 months | Anxiety assessment by Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) ranging from 0 to 80. Higher score indicates worse status. |
| Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) | 3 months | Sleep quality assessment by Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) ranging from 0-21. Higher score indicates worse sleep quality. |
