Abstract

We analyzed the projects and published studies funded by NSFC (National Natural Science Foundation of China) in the field of stoke. Further more, we searched the published papers supported by NSFC in the last decade using the keywords of "stroke" or "cerebrovascular disease" and analyzed the results according to the topics associated with the mechanisms of ischemic brain injury, novel techniques and new drugs, medical imaging, translational medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine.
