Stroke, a serious systemic inflammatory disease, features neurological deficits and cardiovascular dysfunction. Neuroinflammation is characterized by the activation of microglia after stroke, which disrupts the cardiovascular-related neural network and the blood–brain barrier. Neural networks activate the autonomic nervous system to regulate the cardiac and blood vessels. Increased permeability of the blood–brain barrier and the lymphatic pathways promote the transfer of the central immune components to the peripheral immune organs and the recruitment of specific immune cells or cytokines, produced by the peripheral immune system, and thus modulate microglia in the brain. In addition, the spleen will also be stimulated by central inflammation to further mobilize the peripheral immune system. Both NK cells and Treg cells will be generated to enter the central nervous system to suppress further inflammation, while activated monocytes infiltrate the myocardium and cause cardiovascular dysfunction. In this review, we will focus on microglia-mediated inflammation in neural networks that result in cardiovascular dysfunction. Furthermore, we will discuss neuroimmune regulation in the central–peripheral crosstalk, in which the spleen is a vital part. Hopefully, this will benefit in anchoring another therapeutic target for neuro-cardiovascular dysfunction.
We prove an infinite dimensional Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser theorem. As an application, we use the theorem to study the two-dimensional forced nonlinear Schrödinger equation with periodic boundary conditions, and we emphasize that the forced term is not small perturbation. We obtain a Whitney smooth family of small-amplitude quasiperiodic solutions which are partially hyperbolic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
