Review, Journal: Thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke: current status and future perspectives. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 18, 2023 The growing implementation of mobile stroke units and advanced neuroimaging could boost the number of patients who can receive intravenous thrombolysis by shortening onset-to-treatment times and identifying patients with salvageable penumbra. Continued improvements in this area will be essential to facilitate the ongoing research endeavors and to improve delivery of new interventions.

Journal: In Silico Study of Different Thrombolytic Agents for Fibrinolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 30, 2023 While tenecteplase and alteplase have very similar thrombolysis efficacy, tenecteplase has a lower risk of ICH and better resistance to PAI-1. Among the four simulated drugs, reteplase has the slowest fibrinolysis rate, but fibrinogen concentration in systemic plasma is unaffected during thrombolysis.

Journal: Magnetic Response Combined with Bioactive Ion Therapy: A RONS-Scavenging Theranostic Nanoplatform for Thrombolysis and Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 29, 2023 Herein, a multifunctional therapeutic nanoparticle (NP) based on FeO and strontium ions encapsulated in mesoporous polydopamine was successfully constructed and then loaded with TNK-tPA (FeM@Sr-TNK NPs)...Then, renal IRI-induced functional metabolic disorder and tissue damage were evidently attenuated by scavenging toxic reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and through the protective effects of bioactive ion therapy, including reduced apoptosis, increased angiogenesis, and inhibited fibrosis. In brief, we constructed a multifunctional nanoplatform for integrating a "diagnosis-therapy-protection" approach to achieve comprehensive management from thrombus to renal IRI, promoting the advancement of related technologies.

Review, Journal: Treatment of acute stroke: Current practices and future horizons. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 21, 2023 Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has shown considerable efficacy for treating large-vessel occlusions and using CTP, patients can be selected for hours after symptom-onset if viable tissue remains. Further research is underway to determine if EVT can be used for medium vessel occlusions and for basilar artery thromboses as well as to determine whether an "EVT-alone" strategy is superior to "tPA + EVT" strategy.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 7, 2023 Tenecteplase did not reduce mortality compared with anticoagulants alone and may not be a good choice of thrombolytic agent due to an increase in minor bleeding compared with streptokinase and anticoagulants alone. Thrombolytic drugs should be rationally selected to optimize the thrombolytic regimen and achieve as good a balance as possible between thrombolysis and bleeding.
