Ischemic Stroke Induces Skeletal Muscle Damage and Alters Transcriptome Profile in Rats

Hu Qi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the pathological features of skeletal muscle post-stroke in rats and to provide background information for potential interventions. The findings showed that decreased spontaneous movement and reduced exercise endurance were the main manifestations of skeletal muscle dysfunction in rats after stroke, which was closely related to mitochondrial-mediated autophagy dysfunction.

3D synchrotron imaging of muscle tissues at different atrophic stages in stroke and spinal cord injury: a proof-of-concept study

Jessica Pingel et al.

Summary: Synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (SXCT) allows for 3D imaging of tissue and enables the investigation of muscle fiber atrophy. The study examined healthy muscle fibers and muscle fibers at different stages of atrophy, revealing new insights into the micro-architecture of atrophied muscles. 3D analysis identified fiber splitting, fiber swelling, and fiber buckling, which could not be observed or quantified using 2D histological analysis.

Simultaneous 3D Visualization of the Microvascular and Neural Network in Mouse Spinal Cord Using Synchrotron Radiation Micro-Computed Tomography

Liyuan Jiang et al.

Summary: Combining Golgi staining with angiography and synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography (SR mu CT) allowed for the visualization of the 3D neurovascular network in the mouse spinal cord at cellular resolution without destructive sectioning. The 3D morphology of neurons, nerve fiber tracts, and vasculature visualized by SR mu CT was highly consistent with histological methods and could be quantitatively evaluated. This method will be useful in fundamental neuroscience studies.

Muscle Fiber Diameter and Density Alterations after Stroke Examined by Single-Fiber EMG

Chengjun Huang et al.

Summary: This study used single-fiber electromyography to assess changes in paretic muscles after stroke, finding significant differences in SFAP parameters, fiber density, and muscle fiber diameter between the paretic and contralateral muscles. These results suggest that paretic muscle weakness after stroke may be attributed to both central and peripheral neuromuscular alterations.
