Popis: Most acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion require stent implantation for complete recanalization. Yet, due to ischemia-reperfusion injury, over half of these patients still experience poor prognoses. Thus, neuroprotective treatment is imperative to alleviate the ischemic brain injury, and a proof-of-concept study was conducted on “biodegradable neuroprotective stent”. This concept is premised on the hypothesis that locally released Mg2+/H2 from Mg metal within the bloodstream could offer synergistic neuroprotection against reperfusion injury in distant cerebral ischemic tissues. Initially, the study evaluated pure Mg's neuroactive potential using oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injured neuron cells. Subsequently, a pure Mg wire was implanted into the common carotid artery of the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model to simulate human brain ischemia/reperfusion injury. In vitro analyses revealed that pure Mg extract aided mouse hippocampal neuronal cell (HT-22) in defending against OGD/R injury. Additionally, the protective effects of the Mg wire on behavioral abnormalities, neural injury, blood-brain barrier disruption, and cerebral blood flow reduction in MCAO rats were verified. Conclusively, Mg-based biodegradable neuroprotective implants could serve as an effective local Mg2+/H2 delivery system for treating distant cerebral ischemic diseases.
