Ischemic stroke is known as a common causes of disability, lower psychological well-being as well as preventable death. The pathogenesis of ischemic stroke process becomes worse immediately after oxidative stress occurs. One of the flavonoids with antioxidant abilities is quercetin. This study was aimed to investigate quercetin administration on the behavioral functions (motor and sensory) and expression of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) in mice with ischemic stroke.
Male ICR mice were divided into sham, stroke, stroke with quercetin 100, 150, and 200mg/kg. The stroke model was performed by blocking the left common carotid artery for 2h. Quercetin was intraperitoneally administered daily for seven days. Evaluation was conducted during two weeks after induction using ladder rung walking test and narrow beam test for motoric function and adhesive removal tape test for sensory function. On day-14 mice were sacrificed, MC4R expression in the dorsal striatum was determined using RT-PCR.
Stroke decreased the motor, sensory function and MC4R mRNA expression in dorsal striatum. Quercetin improved motor and sensory function, and upregulated expression of MC4R.
Quercetin administration after ischemic stroke improves behavioral function, possibly through the upregulation of MC4R in the brain.

One of the methods used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD) is anticoagulant therapy, which involves administering anticoagulants to patients that inhibit the arrangement and actuation of clotting factors. Anticoagulant therapy in patients with CAD must be monitored and evaluated because its greatest side effect is the risk of bleeding. The research aimed to analyze anticoagulants used in therapy for CAD patients and identify potential adverse drug reactions and adverse drug interactions.
This was an observational study which collected data retrospectively at Bhayangkara Hospital Surabaya. Patient data had to meet the requirements for inclusion, which were patients treated for a diagnosis of CAD with anticoagulant therapy and were in conditions with or without complications and comorbid diseases. Data were obtained from 40 patient medical records. The data were then processed descriptively.
Most patients were male (80%) and aged 61-70 years old (37.5%). Fondaparinux was administered to 18 patients at a dose of 1×2.5mg SC. Furthermore, enoxaparin was administered to 15 patients at a dose of 2×60mg SC, and seven patients received warfarin at a dose of 1×2-4mg per oral.
The anticoagulants used in this study were fondaparinux 1×2.5mg SC (45%), enoxaparin 2×60mg SC (37.5%), and warfarin 1×2-4mg PO (17.5%). Side effects of the anticoagulants were absent. However, drug interactions with aspirin, clopidogrel, and allopurinol increased the risk of bleeding.
