Multiphase CTA (mCTA) is an established tool for endovascular treatment decision-making and outcome prediction in acute ischemic stroke, but its interpretation requires some degree of experience. We aimed to determine whether mCTA-based prediction of clinical outcome and final infarct volume can be improved by assessing collateral status on time-variant mCTA color maps rather than using aconventional mCTA display format. Patients from the PRove-IT cohort study with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion were included in this study. Collateral status was assessed with athree-point scale using the conventional display format. Collateral extent and filling dynamics were then graded on athree-point scale using time-variant mCTA color-maps (FastStroke, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the association of conventional collateral score, color-coded collateral extent and color-coded collateral filling dynamics with good clinical outcome and finalteral grading. In this study, collateral extent assessment on time-variant mCTA maps improved prediction of good outcome and has similar value in predicting follow-up infarct volume compared to conventional mCTA collateral grading. Biochanin A (BCA), a phytoestrogen, has various pharmacological properties. This study was conducted to compare BCA's therapeutic property against 17-β estradiol replacement therapy in zymosan-induced arthritis (ZIA) in mice. Additionally, we further investigated in vitro the anti-inflammatory action on neutrophils. Ovariectomized (OVX) and non-OVX mice were pretreated with BCA (1, 3 and 9mg/kg) or estrogen (50µg/kg) for 14days prior to ZIA. Neutrophils were pretreated with BCA (1, 10 and 100μM) for 1h prior to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Anti-inflammatory effects of BCA were evaluated by cellular infiltrate, paw edema and cytokine measurement. In
