Top Noted Publications

📚 Dr. Wang has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in esteemed journals. Below are selected works with hyperlinks:

1. Li Y, et al. (2022). “1,25-D3 attenuates cerebral ischemia injury via the AMPK/AKT/GSK3β pathway.” Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. Cited by: 15.

This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-D3) on cerebral ischemia injury. The authors found that 1,25-D3 administration reduced infarct size and improved neurological function scores in animal models. Mechanistically, 1,25-D3 activated the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and upregulated the expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK), phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT), phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (p-GSK-3β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), ATP, and succinate dehydrogenase. Concurrently, it downregulated the expression of P53, cytochrome c (CytC), caspase-3, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and malondialdehyde (MDA). The study suggests that 1,25-D3 exerts neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemia by modulating mitochondrial metabolism through the AMPK/AKT/GSK3β pathway.

PubMed

2. Zhang Y, et al. (2022). “1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 promotes angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia injury.” Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine. Cited by: 10.

This research focused on the role of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-D3) in promoting angiogenesis following cerebral ischemia injury in rats. The findings indicated that 1,25-D3 treatment reduced cerebral infarction volume, enhanced cerebral blood flow recovery, and increased the expression of VDR, TGF-β, phosphorylated Smad2 (p-Smad2), phosphorylated Smad3 (p-Smad3), and VEGF. Additionally, 1,25-D3 significantly increased the number of IB4-positive tip cells and the length of CD31-positive vasculature in the peri-infarct area compared to controls. These effects were partially reversed by the VDR antagonist pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P), suggesting that 1,25-D3 promotes angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia by upregulating the TGF-β/Smad2/3 signaling pathway via VDR activation.

This study explored the efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) dilation in revascularizing atherosclerotic basilar artery occlusion. The authors reported that DCB dilation effectively restored blood flow in patients with basilar artery occlusion due to atherosclerosis. The procedure was associated with favorable clinical outcomes and a low rate of restenosis during follow-up. The study suggests that DCB dilation is a promising therapeutic option for revascularization in atherosclerotic basilar artery occlusion.

This case report described a rare presentation of hyperacute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) manifesting primarily as cerebellar hemorrhage. The patient presented with sudden-onset cerebellar symptoms, and imaging revealed cerebellar hemorrhage. Further investigations led to the diagnosis of ADEM. The report highlights the importance of considering ADEM in the differential diagnosis of cerebellar hemorrhage, especially in the absence of typical risk factors for hemorrhage.

5. Wu N, et al. (2023). “Clinical features of ischemic stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation with intracranial atherosclerosis.” Brain and Behavior. Cited by: 7.

This study examined the clinical characteristics of ischemic stroke patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and concomitant intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS). The authors found that patients with both NVAF and ICAS had a higher prevalence of previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, more severe neurological deficits at admission, and worse functional outcomes at discharge compared to patients with NVAF alone. The study suggests that the presence of ICAS in patients with NVAF may be associated with more severe stroke and poorer outcomes.
