Abstract
Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), mainly caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysms, is a serious acute cerebrovascular disease. Early brain injury (EBI) is all brain injury occurring within 72 h after SAH, mainly including increased intracranial pressure, decreased cerebral blood flow, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, brain edema, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. It activates cell death pathways, leading to neuronal and glial cell death, and is significantly associated with poor prognosis. Ferroptosis is characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides and is involved in the process of neuron and glial cell death in early brain injury. This paper reviews the research progress of ferroptosis in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage and provides new ideas for future research.

Abstract
Early brain injury (EBI) subsequent to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is strongly associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and poor patient prognosis. Based on investigations into the molecular mechanisms underlying EBI, neurovascular dysfunction resulting from SAH can be attributed to a range of pathological processes, such as microvascular alterations in brain tissue, ionic imbalances, blood-brain barrier disruption, immune-inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and activation of cell death pathways. Research progress presents a variety of promising therapeutic approaches for the preservation of neurological function following SAH, including calcium channel antagonists, endothelin-1 receptor blockers, antiplatelet agents, anti-inflammatory agents, and anti-oxidative stress agents. EBI can be mitigated following SAH through neuroprotective measures. To enhance our comprehension of the relevant molecular pathways involved in brain injury, including brain ischemia-hypoxic injury, neuroimmune inflammation activation, and the activation of various cell-signaling pathways, following SAH, it is essential to investigate the evolution of these multifaceted pathophysiological processes. Facilitating neural repair following a brain injury is critical for improving patient survival rates and quality of life.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) and RBC membrane-derived nanoparticles have been historically developed as bioinspired drug delivery systems to combat the issues of premature clearance, toxicity, and immunogenicity of synthetic nanocarriers. RBC-based delivery systems possess characteristics including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and long circulation time, which make them suited for systemic administration. Therefore, they have been employed in designing optimal drug formulations in various preclinical models and clinical trials to treat a wide range of diseases. In this review, we provide an overview of the biology, synthesis, and characterization of drug delivery systems based on RBCs and their membrane including whole RBCs, RBC membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles, RBC-derived extracellular vesicles, and RBC hitchhiking. We also highlight conventional and latest engineering strategies, along with various therapeutic modalities, for enhanced precision and effectiveness of drug delivery. Additionally, we focus on the current state of RBC-based therapeutic applications and their clinical translation as drug carriers, as well as discussing opportunities and challenges associated with these systems.

Incidence of intra-procedural complications according to the timing of endovascular treatment in ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Front Neurol 2023; 13:1096651. [PMID: 36712444 PMCID: PMC9874677 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1096651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms is well-established, some critical issues have not yet been clarified, such as the effects of timing on safety and effectiveness of the procedure. The aim of our study was to analyze the incidence of intra-procedural complications according to the timing of treatment, as they can affect morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent endovascular treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysms at three high flow center. For all patients, imaging and clinical data, aneurysm's type, mean dimension and different treatment techniques were analyzed. Intra-procedural complications were defined as thrombus formation at the aneurysm's neck, thromboembolic events, and rupture of the aneurysm. Patients were divided into three groups according to time between subarachnoid hemorrhage and treatment (<12 h hyper-early, 12-36 h early, and >36 h delayed). Results The final study population included 215 patients. In total, 84 patients (39%) underwent hyper-early, 104 (48%) early, and 27 (13%) delayed endovascular treatment. Overall, 69% of the patients were treated with simple coiling, 23% with balloon-assisted coiling, 1% with stent-assisted coiling, 3% with a flow-diverter stent, 3% with an intrasaccular flow disruptor device, and 0.5% with parent vessel occlusion. Delayed endovascular treatment was associated with an increased risk of total intra-procedural complications compared to both hyper-early (p = 0.009) and early (p = 0.004) treatments with a rate of complications of 56% (vs. 29% in hyper-early and 26% in early treated group-p = 0.011 and p = 0.008). The delayed treatment group showed a higher rate of thrombus formation and thromboembolic events. The increased risk of total intra-procedural complications in delayed treatment was confirmed, also considering only the patients treated with simple coiling and balloon-assisted coiling (p = 0.005 and p = 0.003, respectively, compared to hyper-early and early group) with a rate of complications of 62% (vs. 28% in hyper-early and 26% in early treatments-p = 0.007 and p = 0.003). Also in this subpopulation, delayed treated patients showed a higher incidence of thrombus formation and thromboembolic events. Conclusions Endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms more than 36 h after SAH seems to be associated with a higher risk of intra-procedural complications, especially thrombotic and thromboembolic events.

Influence of neurovascular anatomy on perforation site in different mouse strains using the filament perforation model for induction of subarachnoid hemorrhage. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0263983.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Filament perforation is a widely-used method to induce subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in mice. Whereas the perforation site has been assumed to be in the branching of middle cerebral artery (MCA) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA), we recently observed more proximal perforations. METHODS Filament perforation was performed in CD1- (n = 10) and C57Bl/6N-mice (n = 9) ex vivo. The filament was left in place and the perforation site was microscopically assessed. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in CD1- (n = 9) and C57Bl/6J-mice (n = 29) and anatomical differences of the internal carotid artery (ICA) were determined. RESULTS Whereas in C57Bl/6N-mice perforation occurred in the proximal intracranial ICA in 89% (n = 8), in CD1-mice the perforation site was in the proximal ICA in 50% (n = 5), in the branching between MCA and ACA in 40% (n = 4), and in the proximal ACA in 10% (n = 1). DSA revealed a stronger angulation (p<0.001) of the ICA in CD1-mice (163.5±2.81°) compared to C57Bl/6J-mice (124.5±5.49°). Body weight and ICA-angle showed no significant correlation in C57Bl/6J- (r = -0.06, pweight/angle = 0.757) and CD1-mice (r = -0.468, pweight/angle = 0.242). CONCLUSION Filament perforation in mice occurs not only at the hitherto presumed branching between MCA and ACA, but seems to depend on mouse strain and anatomy as the proximal intracranial ICA may also be perforated frequently.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage has a poor prognosis due to the wide array of associated complications such as vasospasm, early brain injury, cortical spreading depression, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Each of these complications increases the risk of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), but recent research has suggested microclots play a substantial role in DCI incidence. This review will focus on the underlying inflammatory and coagulative mechanisms of microthrombosis while also outlining the current literature relating microclot burden to DCI. With a better understanding DCI pathophysiology as it relates to microthrombosis, more effective therapies can be developed in the future to improve clinical outcomes of SAH.

Abstract
Early brain injury (EBI) is considered an important cause of morbidity and mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). As a factor in EBI, microcirculatory dysfunction has become a focus of interest, but whether microcirculatory dysfunction is more important than angiographic vasospasm (aVS) remains unclear. Using data from 128 cases, we measured the time to peak (TTP) in several regions of interest on digital subtraction angiography. The intracerebral circulation time (iCCT) was obtained between the TTP in the ultra-early phase (the baseline iCCT) and in the subacute phase and/or at delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) onset (the follow-up iCCT). In addition, the difference in the iCCT was calculated by subtracting the baseline iCCT from the follow-up iCCT. Univariate analysis showed that DCI was significantly increased in those patients with a prolonged baseline iCCT, prolonged follow-up iCCT, increased differences in the iCCT, and with severe aVS. Poor outcome was significantly increased in patients with prolonged follow-up iCCT and increased differences in the iCCT. Multivariate analysis revealed that increased differences in the iCCT were a significant risk factor that increased DCI and poor outcome. The results suggest that the increasing microcirculatory dysfunction over time, not aVS, causes DCI and poor outcome after aneurysmal aSAH.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of nafamostat, a serin protease inhibitor, in the management of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in male mice. Nafamostat was administered intraperitoneally four times immediately after SAH induction. Cerebral blood flow, neurological behavior tests, SAH grade and protein expression were evaluated at 24 h after SAH induction. In the in vitro model, human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMVECs), HBVECs were exposed to thrombin and hypoxia for 24 h; nafamostat was administered and the protein expression was evaluated. Eighty-eight mice were included in the in vivo study. Fifteen mice (17%) were excluded because of death or procedure failure. Nafamostat exerted no significant effect on the SAH grade or cerebral blood flow; however, it improved the neurological behavior and suppressed the thrombin and MMP-9 expression. In addition, nafamostat suppressed the ICAM-1 expression and p38 phosphorylation in the in vitro study. Nafamostat has a protective effect against HBMVEC after exposure to thrombin and hypoxia, suggesting its role in improving the neurological outcomes after SAH. These findings indicate that nafamostat has the potential to be a novel therapeutic drug in the management of SAH.

Abstract
Severe refractory cerebral vasospasm (CV) is a major cause of disability and death in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). One rescue therapy in selected patients is intra-arterial nimodipine, either given as a single shot or as continuous infusion. To evaluate treatment efficacy, we analyzed outcome factors such as the incidence of craniectomy, ventriculo-peritonial (VP) shunting, and tracheotomy after intra-arterial nimodipine infusion. We retrospectively analyzed the rates of cerebral infarction, decompressive craniectomy, VP shunting, and tracheotomy in patients with severe CV after SAH. Three different patient groups were compared: group 1 had only been treated with oral nimodipine and hypervolemic hypertensive therapy (HHT) (2006-2010), group 2 with a single shot of intra-arterial nimodipine (SSN) in addition to oral conservative treatment (2006-2010), and group 3 with continuous intra-arterial nimodipine (CIAN) (2011-2017). The incidence of cerebral infarction was significantly lower in CIAN group (p = 0.005) than in conservative and SSN group. The indication for consecutive decompressive craniectomy was significantly lower in CIAN group in comparison with the conservative group (p = 0.018). The rates of VP shunting and tracheotomy were significantly higher in the CIAN group than in the conservative group (p = 0.028 for VP, and p = 0.003 for tracheotomy). The significantly lower rate of craniectomy in the CIAN group was most probably attributable to the significantly lower rate of CV-induced infarction. The higher rate of tracheotomy reflects more extensive sedation and the need of longer stays on the intensive care unit. Thus, the effect on long-term neurological outcome and quality of life has to be evaluated separately.

Abstract
Drug delivery research pursues many types of carriers including proteins and other macromolecules, natural and synthetic polymeric structures, nanocarriers of diverse compositions and cells. In particular, liposomes and lipid nanoparticles represent arguably the most advanced and popular human-made nanocarriers, already in multiple clinical applications. On the other hand, red blood cells (RBCs) represent attractive natural carriers for the vascular route, featuring at least two distinct compartments for loading pharmacological cargoes, namely inner space enclosed by the plasma membrane and the outer surface of this membrane. Historically, studies of liposomal drug delivery systems (DDS) astronomically outnumbered and surpassed the RBC-based DDS. Nevertheless, these two types of carriers have different profile of advantages and disadvantages. Recent studies showed that RBC-based drug carriers indeed may feature unique pharmacokinetic and biodistribution characteristics favorably changing benefit/risk ratio of some cargo agents. Furthermore, RBC carriage cardinally alters behavior and effect of nanocarriers in the bloodstream, so called RBC hitchhiking (RBC-HH). This article represents an attempt for the comparative analysis of liposomal vs RBC drug delivery, culminating with design of hybrid DDSs enabling mutual collaborative advantages such as RBC-HH and camouflaging nanoparticles by RBC membrane. Finally, we discuss the key current challenges faced by these and other RBC-based DDSs including the issue of potential unintended and adverse effect and contingency measures to ameliorate this and other concerns.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients develop delayed cerebral ischemia and delayed deficits (DCI) within 2 weeks of aneurysm rupture at a rate of approximately 30%. DCI is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality after SAH. The cause of DCI is multi-factorial with contributions from microthrombi, blood vessel constriction, inflammation, and cortical spreading depolarizations. Platelets play central roles in hemostasis, inflammation, and vascular function. Within this review, we examine the potential roles of platelets in microthrombi formation, large artery vasospasm, microvessel constriction, inflammation, and cortical spreading depolarization. Evidence from experimental and clinical studies is provided to support the role(s) of platelets in each pathophysiology which contributes to DCI. The review concludes with a suggestion for future therapeutic targets to prevent DCI after aSAH.

Abstract
Early brain injury (EBI), delayed cerebral vasospasm (DCVS), and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) are common complications of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Inflammatory processes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are one of the causes for such complications. Our aim to study the effects of an IL-6 receptor antagonist (Tocilizumab) examines the occurrence of DCVS, neuronal cell death, and microclot formation in an acute SAH rabbit model. Twenty-nine New Zealand white rabbits were randomized into one of three groups as the SAH, SAH + Tocilizumab, and sham groups. In SAH groups, hemorrhage was induced by extracranial-intracranial arterial blood shunting from the subclavian artery into the cisterna magna under intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. In the second group, Tocilizumab was given once intravenously 1 h after SAH induction. Digital subtraction angiography was performed, and CSF and blood were sampled before and after (day 3) SAH induction. IL-6 plasma and CSF levels were measured. TUNEL, FJB, NeuN, and caspase-3 immunostaining were used to assess cell apoptosis, neurodegeneration, and neuronal cell death, respectively. Microclot formation was detected by fibrinogen immunostaining. Between baseline and follow-up, there was a significant reduction of angiographic DCVS (p < 0.0001) in the Tocilizumab compared with the SAH group. Tocilizumab treatment resulted in decreased neuronal cell death in the hippocampus (p = 0.006), basal cortex (p = 0.001), and decreased microclot formation (p = 0.02). Tocilizumab reduced DCVS, neuronal cell death, and microclot formation in a rabbit SAH model, and could be a potential treatment to prevent DCVS and DCI in SAH patients.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is the most feared complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). It increases the mortality and morbidity associated with aSAH. Previously, large cerebral artery vasospasm was thought to be the sole major contributing factor associated with increased risk of DCI. Recent literature has challenged this concept. We conducted a literature search using PUBMED as the prime source of articles discussing various other factors which may contribute to the development of DCI both in the presence or absence of large cerebral artery vasospasm. These factors include microvascular spasm, micro-thrombosis, cerebrovascular dysregulation, and cortical spreading depolarization. These factors collectively result in inflammation of brain parenchyma, which is thought to precipitate early brain injury and DCI. We conclude that diagnostic modalities need to be refined in order to diagnose DCI more efficiently in its early phase, and newer interventions need to be developed to prevent and treat this condition. These newer interventions are currently being studied in experimental models. However, their effectiveness on patients with aSAH is yet to be determined.

Preclinical and clinical role of interleukin-6 in the development of delayed cerebral vasospasm and neuronal cell death after subarachnoid hemorrhage: towards a potential target therapy? Neurosurg Rev 2021; 45:395-403.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral vasospasm (DCVS), early brain injury (EBI), and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) are devastating complications after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Interleukin (IL)-6 seems to be an important interleukin in the inflammatory response after SAH, and many studies describe a strong correlation between IL-6 and worse outcome. The aim of this study was to systematically review preclinical and clinical studies that evaluated systemic and cerebral IL-6 levels after SAH and their relation to DCVS, neuronal cell death, and DCI. We conducted two systematic literature searches using PubMed to identify preclinical and clinical studies evaluating the role of IL-6 after SAH. Suitable articles were selected based on predefined eligibility criteria following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A total of 61 and 30 preclinical and clinical articles, respectively, were included in the systematic reviews. Of the preclinical studies in which IL-6 was measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), parenchyma, and systemically, 100%, 94.4%, and 81.3%, respectively, showed increased expression of IL-6 after SAH. Preclinical results were mirrored by clinical findings in which elevated levels of IL-6 in CSF and plasma were found after SAH, correlating with DCVS, DCI, and worse outcome. Only two preclinical studies analyzed the direct inhibition of IL-6, which resulted in reduced DCVS and neuronal cell death. IL-6 is a marker of intracranial inflammation and plays a role in the pathophysiology of DCVS and DCI after SAH in preclinical animal models and clinical studies. Its inhibition might have therapeutic potential to improve the outcome of SAH patients.

Abstract
Leaked blood components, injured endothelial cells, local inflammatory response and vasospasm may converge to promote microthrombosis following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Previously, we showed that the milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFGE8) can mitigate SAH-induced microthrombosis. This present study was aimed to explore the molecular pathway participated in MFGE8-dependent protection on vascular endothelium. Immunofluorescence, immunoblot and behavioral tests were used to determine the molecular partner and signaling pathway mediating the effect of MFGE8 in vascular endothelium in rats with experimental SAH and controls, together with the applications of RNA silencing and pharmacological intervention methods. Relative to control, recombinant human MFGE8 (rhMFGE8) treatment increased 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeled new endothelial cells, reduced TUNUL-positive endothelial cells and elevated the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12), in the brains of SAH rats. These effects were reversed by MFGE8 RNA silencing, as well as following cilengitide and wortmannin intervention. These results suggest that MFGE8 promotes endothelial regeneration and mitigates endothelial DNA damage through the activation of the TIGβ5/PI3K/CXCL12 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Globally, the incidence of thromboembolic diseases has increased in recent years, accompanied by an increase in patient mortality. Currently, several targeting delivery strategies have been developed to treat thromboembolic diseases. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of thrombolysis and current anticoagulant drugs, particularly those with targeting capability, highlighting advances in the accurate treatment of thrombolysis with fewer adverse effects. Such approaches include magnetic drug-loading systems combined with molecular imaging to recanalize blood vessels and systems based on chimeric Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequences that can target platelet glycoprotein receptor. With such progress in targeted antithrombotic drugs, targeted thrombolysis treatment shows significant potential benefit for patients.

Abstract
Thrombin is a Na+-activated allosteric serine protease of the chymotrypsin family involved in coagulation, inflammation, cell protection, and apoptosis. Increasingly, the role of thrombin in the brain has been explored. Low concentrations of thrombin are neuroprotective, while high concentrations exert pathological effects. However, greater attention regarding the involvement of thrombin in normal and pathological processes in the central nervous system is warranted. In this review, we explore the mechanisms of thrombin action, localization, and functions in the central nervous system and describe the involvement of thrombin in stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage, neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and primary central nervous system tumors. We aim to comprehensively characterize the role of thrombin in neurological disease and injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The mechanisms of brain damage during ultra-early subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have not been well studied. The current study examined the SAH-induced hyperacute brain damage at 4 hours using magnetic resonance imaging and brain histology in a mouse model. METHODS SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in adult mice. First, adult male wild-type mice underwent magnetic resonance imaging T2 and T2* 4 hours after an endovascular perforation or a sham operation and were euthanized to assess brain histology. Second, male and female adult lipocalin-2 knockout mice had SAH. All animals underwent magnetic resonance imaging at 4 hours, and the brains were harvested for brain histology. RESULTS T2* hypointensity vessels were observed in the brain 4 hours after SAH in male wild-type mice. The numbers of T2*-positive vessels were significantly higher in SAH brains than in sham-operated mice. Brain histology showed thrombosis and erythrocyte plugs in the T2*-positive cerebral vessels which may be venules. The number of T2*-positive vessels correlated with SAH grade and the presence of T2 lesions. Brain thrombosis was also accompanied by albumin leakage and neuronal injury. LCN2 deficient male mice had lower numbers of T2*-positive vessels after SAH compared with wild-type male mice. CONCLUSIONS SAH causes ultra-early brain vessel thrombosis that can be detected by T2* gradient-echo sequence at 4 hours after SAH. LCN2 deficiency decreased the number of T2*-positive vessels.

Abstract
We investigate the circulation of nano- and micro-particles, including spherical particles and filamentous nanoworms, with red blood cells (RBCs) suspension in a constricted channel that mimics a stenosed microvessel. Through three-dimensional simulations using the immersed boundary-based Lattice Boltzmann method, the influence of channel geometries, such as the length and ratio of the constriction, on the accumulation of particles is systematically studied. Firstly, we find that the accumulation of spherical particles with 1 μm diameter in the constriction increases with the increases of both the length and ratio of the constriction. This is attributed to the interaction between spheres and RBCs. The RBCs "carry" the spheres and they accumulate inside the constriction together, due to the altered local hydrodynamics induced by the existence of the constriction. Secondly, nanoworms demonstrate higher accumulation than that of spheres inside the constriction, which is associated with the escape of nanoworms from RBC clusters and their accumulation near the wall of main channel. The accumulated near-wall nanoworms will eventually enter the constriction, thus enhancing their concentration inside the constriction. However, an exceptional case occurs in the case of constrictions with large ratio and long length. In such circumstances, the RBCs aggregate together tightly and concentrate at the center of the channel, which makes the nanoworms hardly able to escape from RBC clusters, leading to a similar accumulation of nanoworms and spheres inside the constriction. This study may provide theoretical guidance for the design of nano- and micro-particles for biomedical engineering applications, such as drug delivery systems for patients with stenosed microvessels.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke associated with high mortality and morbidity. The blood-brain-barrier (BBB) is a structure consisting primarily of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells, end feet of astrocytes, extracellular matrix, and pericytes. Post-SAH pathophysiology included early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischemia. BBB disruption was a critical mechanism of early brain injury and was associated with other pathophysiological events. These pathophysiological events may propel the development of secondary brain injury, known as delayed cerebral ischemia. Imaging advancements to measure BBB after SAH primarily focused on exploring innovative methods to predict clinical outcome, delayed cerebral ischemia, and delayed infarction related to delayed cerebral ischemia in acute periods. These predictions are based on detecting abnormal changes in BBB permeability. The parameters of BBB permeability are described by changes in computed tomography (CT) perfusion and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Kep seems to be a stable and sensitive indicator in CT perfusion, whereas Ktrans is a reliable parameter for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Future prediction models that utilize both the volume of BBB disruption and stable parameters of BBB may be a promising direction to develop practical clinical tools. These tools could provide greater accuracy in predicting clinical outcome and risk of deterioration. Therapeutic interventional exploration targeting BBB disruption is also promising, considering the extended duration of post-SAH BBB disruption.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains a serious cerebrovascular disease. Even if SAH patients survive the initial insults, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) may occur at 4 days or later post-SAH. DCI is characteristics of SAH, and is considered to develop by blood breakdown products and inflammatory reactions, or secondary to early brain injury, acute pathophysiological events that occur in the brain within the first 72 hours of aneurysmal SAH. The pathology underlying DCI may involve large artery vasospasm and/or microcirculatory disturbances by microvasospasm, microthrombosis, dysfunction of venous outflow and compression of microvasculature by vasogenic or cytotoxic tissue edema. Recent clinical evidence has shown that large artery vasospasm is not the only cause of DCI, and that both large artery vasospasm-dependent and -independent cerebral infarction causes poor outcome. Animal studies suggest that mechanisms of vasospasm may differ between large artery and arterioles or capillaries, and that many kinds of cells in the vascular wall and brain parenchyma may be involved in the pathogenesis of microcirculatory disturbances. The impairment of the paravascular and glymphatic systems also may play important roles in the development of DCI. As pathological mediators for DCI, glutamate and several matricellular proteins have been investigated in addition to inflammatory molecules. Glutamate is involved in excitotoxicity contributing to cortical spreading ischemia and epileptic activity-related events. Microvascular dysfunction is an attractive mechanism to explain the cause of poor outcomes independently of large cerebral artery vasospasm, but needs more studies to clarify the pathophysiologies or mechanisms and to develop a novel therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been associated with numerous pathophysiological sequelae, including large artery vasospasm and microvascular thrombosis. The focus of this review is to provide an overview of experimental animal model studies and human autopsy studies that explore the temporal-spatial characterization and mechanism of microvascular platelet aggregation and thrombosis following SAH, as well as to critically assess experimental studies and clinical trials highlighting preventative therapeutic options against this highly morbid pathophysiological process. Upon review of the literature, we discovered that microvascular platelet aggregation and thrombosis occur after experimental SAH across multiple species and SAH induction techniques in a similar time frame to other components of DCI, occurring in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus across both hemispheres. We discuss the relationship of these findings to human autopsy studies. In the final section of this review, we highlight the important therapeutic options for targeting microvascular platelet aggregation and thrombosis, and emphasize why therapeutic targeting of this neurovascular pathology may improve patient care. We encourage ongoing research into the pathophysiology of SAH and DCI, especially in regard to microvascular platelet aggregation and thrombosis and the translation to randomized clinical trials.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBC) have great potential as drug delivery systems, capable of producing unprecedented changes in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity. Despite this great potential and nearly 50 years of research, it is only recently that RBC-mediated drug delivery has begun to move out of the academic lab and into industrial drug development. RBC loading with drugs can be performed in several ways-either via encapsulation within the RBC or surface coupling, and either ex vivo or in vivo-depending on the intended application. In this review, we briefly summarize currently used technologies for RBC loading/coupling with an eye on how pharmacokinetics is impacted. Additionally, we provide a detailed description of key ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination) changes that would be expected for RBC-associated drugs and address unique features of RBC pharmacokinetics. As thorough understanding of pharmacokinetics is critical in successful translation to the clinic, we expect that this review will provide a jumping off point for further investigations into this area.

Abstract
We investigated the expression of A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I repeats-13 (ADAMTS-13) in the central nervous system (CNS), because it is related to blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. We also investigated 8-OHdG, caspase-3 and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) expression for the cytotoxic effects of oxidative stress (OS) and nNOS, and their relation to apoptosis. We also investigated the neuroimmunopathology caused by L. monocytogenes. Brain tissues were obtained from 10 lambs and 10 kids with listeric meningoencephalitis, and healthy brain tissue from six lambs and six kids. Serial sections of brain were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H & E), and using immunohistochemistry (IHC) for L. monocytogenes antigen, ADAMTS-13, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), nNOS and caspase-3. We found that ADAMTS-13, 8-OHdG, nNOS and caspase-3 expression in the brain was increased in L. Monocytogenes infected animals compared to uninfected controls. Intense staining for 8-OHdG was observed only in neurons and glia that were exposed to OS. ADAMTS-13 was increased significantly, which may play a role in regulating and protecting BBB integrity and cells of the CNS in cases of listeric encephalitis. Increased expression of ADAMTS-13 may be critical for supporting the survival of neurons and glia. We found that L. monocytogenes-related increases in OS and nNOS, and that the associated apoptosis, may participate in neurodegeneration and neuropathology in listeric encephalitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is among the most dreaded complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Despite advances in neurocritical care, DCI remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay, and high healthcare costs. Large artery vasospasm has classically been thought to lead to DCI. However, recent failure of clinical trials targeting vasospasm to improve outcomes has underscored the disconnect between large artery vasospasm and DCI. Therefore, interest has shifted onto other potential mechanisms such as microvascular dysfunction and spreading depolarizations. Animal models can be instrumental in dissecting pathophysiology, but clinical relevance can be difficult to establish. METHODS Here, we performed a systematic review of the literature on animal models of SAH, focusing specifically on DCI and neurological deficits. RESULTS We find that dog, rabbit and rodent models do not consistently lead to DCI, although some degree of delayed vascular dysfunction is common. Primate models reliably recapitulate delayed neurological deficits and ischemic brain injury; however, ethical issues and cost limit their translational utility. CONCLUSIONS To facilitate translation, clinically relevant animal models that reproduce the pathophysiology and cardinal features of DCI after SAH are urgently needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe and emergent cerebrovascular disease, the prognosis of which usually very poor. Microthrombi formation highlighted with inflammation occurs early after SAH. As the main cause of DCI, microthrombosis associated with the prognosis of SAH. The aim of this study was to show HSP90 inhibitor 17-AAG effect on microthrombosis after SAH in rats. METHODS Ninety-five SD rats were used for the experiment. For time course study, the rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham group and SAH group with different time point (1d, 2d, 3d, 5d). Endovascular perforation method was conducted for SAH model. Neurological score, SAH grade, and mortality were measured after SAH. The samples of the left hemisphere brain were collected. The expression of HSP90 was detected by Western blot. The microthrombosis after SAH in rats' brain was detected by immunohistochemistry. For mechanism study, rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham, SAH + vehicle, and SAH +17-AAG (n = 6/group). 17-AAG was given by intraperitoneal injection (80 mg/kg) 1 h after SAH. Neurological function were measured at 24 h after SAH. The expression of RIP3, NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1β was measured by Western blot. Microthrombosis was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Our results showed that the HSP90 protein level increased and peaked at 2 days after SAH. Microthrombosis caused by SAH was increased in 1 day and peaked at 2 days after SAH. Administration HSP90 specific inhibitor 17-AAG reduced expression of RIP3, NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1β, reduced microthrombosis after SAH, and improved neurobehavior when compared to vehicle group. CONCLUSIONS 17-AAG can ameliorate microthrombosis via HSP90/RIP3/NLRP3 pathway and improve neurobehavior after SAH.

Abstract
Background Several lipid metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid are correlated with poor outcomes in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Most of these metabolites bind to ubiquitous thromboxane–prostaglandin (TP) receptors, causing vasoconstriction and inflammation. Here, we evaluated terutroban (TBN), a specific TP receptor antagonist, for the prevention of post-haemorrhage blood-brain barrier disruption, neuronal apoptosis and delayed cerebral hypoperfusion. Methods The rat double subarachnoid haemorrhage model was produced by twice injecting (days 1 and 2) autologous blood into the cisterna magna. Seventy-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to experimental groups. Rats exposed to subarachnoid haemorrhage were allocated to no treatment (SAH group) or TBN treatment by gastric gavage during the first 5 days after haemorrhage (SAH+TBN group). Control rats received artificial cerebrospinal fluid injections (CSF group). Sham-operated rats with or without TBN administration were also studied. Body weight and Garcia neurological scores were assessed on day 2 and day 5. We used nanoscale single-photon emission computed tomography (nanoSPECT) to measure brain uptake of three radiolabelled agents: 99mTechnetium-diethylenetriaminepentacetate (99mTc-DTPA), which indicated blood-brain barrier permeability on day 3, 99mTechnetium-annexin V-128 (99mTc-Anx-V128), which indicated apoptosis on day 4, and 99mTechnetium-hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime (99mTc-HMPAO), which indicated cerebral perfusion on day 5. Basilar artery narrowing was verified histologically, and cerebral TP receptor agonists were quantified. Results 99mTc-DTPA uptake unveiled blood-brain barrier disruption in the SAH group. TBN mitigated this disruption in the brainstem area. 99mTc-Anx-V128 uptake was increased in the SAH group and TBN diminished this effect in the cerebellum. 99mTc-HMPAO uptake revealed a global decreased perfusion on day 5 in the SAH group that was significantly counteracted by TBN. TBN also mitigated basilar artery vasoconstriction, neurological deficits (on day 2), body weight loss (on day 5) and cerebral production of vasoconstrictors such as Thromboxane B2 and Prostaglandin F2α. Conclusions Based on in vivo nanoscale imaging, we demonstrated that TBN protected against blood-brain barrier disruption, exerted an anti-apoptotic effect and improved cerebral perfusion. Thus, TP receptor antagonists showed promising results in treating post-haemorrhage neurovascular events.

Abstract
Thrombus formed in blood vessel is a progressive process, which would lead to life-threatening thrombotic diseases such as ischemic stroke. Unlike other diseases, the recognition of thrombus is usually in the late stage where blood vessels are largely blocked. So acute thrombotic diseases have a narrow therapeutic window, and remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality, whereas current thrombolysis therapy has limited therapeutic effects and bleeding complications. Thrombolytic agents in unwanted sites would cause hemorrhage due to the activation of plasminogen. Moreover, untargeted thrombolysis therapy require large amounts of thrombolytic agents, which in return would enhance hemorrhage risk. To improve the efficiency while minimizing the adverse effects of traditional thrombolysis therapy, novel drug delivery systems have been investigated. Various targeting strategies including ultrasound and magnetic field directed targeting, and specific binding, have been designed to deliver thrombolytic drugs to the thrombotic sites. These strategies demonstrate promising results in reducing bleeding risk as well as allowing less dosage of thrombolytic drugs with lowered clot lysis time. In this review, we discuss recent progress on targeted delivery of thrombolytics, and summarize treatment advantages and shortcomings, potentially helping to further promote the development of targeted thrombolysis.

BACKGROUND Nimodipine is the only drug approved in the treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) in many countries. EG-1962, a product developed using the Precisa™ platform, is an extended-release microparticle formulation of nimodipine that can be administered intraventricularly or intracisternally. It was developed to test the hypothesis that delivering higher concentrations of extended-release nimodipine directly to the cerebrospinal fluid would provide superior efficacy compared to systemic administration. RESULTS A Phase 1/2a multicenter, controlled, randomized, open-label, dose-escalation study determined the maximum tolerated dose and supported the safety and tolerability of EG-1962 in patients with aSAH. EG-1962, 600 mg, was selected for a pivotal, Phase 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group efficacy, and safety study comparing it to standard of care oral nimodipine in adults with aSAH. Key inclusion criteria are patients with a ruptured saccular aneurysm repaired by clipping or coiling, World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade 2-4, and modified Fisher score of > 1. Patients must have an external ventricular drain as part of standard of care. Patients are randomized to receive intraventricular investigational product (EG-1962 or NaCl solution) and an oral placebo or oral nimodipine in the approved dose regimen (active control) within 48 h of aSAH. The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of EG-1962 compared to oral nimodipine. CONCLUSIONS The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with favorable outcome (6-8) on the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale assessed 90 days after aSAH. The secondary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with favorable outcome on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment 90 days after aSAH. Data on safety, rescue therapy, delayed cerebral infarction, and health economics will be collected. Trail registration NCT02790632.

Abstract
Oxidative stress was shown to play a crucial role in the diverse pathogenesis of early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Microcirculatory dysfunction is thought to be an important and fundamental pathological change in EBI. However, other than blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, the influence of oxidative stress on microvessels remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of oxidative stress on microcirculatory integrity in EBI. SAH was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats using an endovascular perforation technique. A free radical scavenger, edaravone, was administered prophylactically by intraperitoneal injection. SAH grade, neurological score, brain water content, and BBB permeability were measured at 24 h after SAH induction. In addition, cortical samples taken at 24 h after SAH were analyzed to explore oxidative stress, microvascular mural cell apoptosis, microspasm, and microthrombosis. Edaravone treatment significantly ameliorated neurological deficits, brain edema, and BBB disruption. In addition, oxidative stress-induced modifications and subsequent apoptosis of microvascular endothelial cells and pericytes increased after SAH induction, while the administration of edaravone suppressed this. Consistent with apoptotic cell inhibition, microthromboses were also inhibited by edaravone administration. Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the induction of multiple pathological changes in microvessels in EBI. Antioxidants are potential candidates for the treatment of microvascular disturbances after SAH.

Abstract
The role of vascular endothelial growth factor A in platelet adhesion in cerebral microvessels in the early stage of subarachnoid hemorrhage remains unclear. In this study, the endovascular puncture method was used to produce a rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Then, 30 minutes later, vascular endothelial growth factor A antagonist anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 antibody, 10 μg, was injected into the right ventricle. Immunohistochemistry and western blot assay were used to assess expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A, occludin and claudin-5. Immunohistochemical double labeling was conducted to examine co-expression of GP Ia-II integrin and type IV collagen. TUNEL was used to detect apoptosis in the hippocampus. Neurological score was used to assess behavioral performance. After subarachnoid hemorrhage, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A increased in the hippocampus, while occludin and claudin-5 expression levels decreased. Co-expression of GP Ia-II integrin and type IV collagen and the number of apoptotic cells increased, whereas behavioral performance was markedly impaired. After treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 antibody, occludin and claudin-5 expression recovered, while co-expression of GP Ia-II integrin and type IV collagen and the number of apoptotic cells decreased. Furthermore, behavioral performance improved notably. Our findings suggest that increased vascular endothelial growth factor A levels promote platelet adhesion and contribute to early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage. This study was approved by the Biomedical Ethics Committee, Medical College of Xi’an Jiaotong University, China in December 2015.

Microvasospasms After Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Do Not Depend on Endothelin A Receptors. Stroke 2018; 49:693-699. [DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.117.020028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2017] [Revised: 12/04/2017] [Accepted: 12/07/2017] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Background and Purpose—
Perturbations in cerebral microcirculation (eg, microvasospasms) and reduced neurovascular communication determine outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). ET-1 (endothelin-1) and its receptors have been implicated in the pathophysiology of large artery spasms after SAH; however, their role in the development of microvascular dysfunction is currently unknown. Here, we investigated whether inhibiting ET
A
(endothelin A) receptors can reduce microvasospasms after experimentally induced SAH.
Methods—
SAH was induced in male C57BL/6 mice by filament perforation of the middle cerebral artery. Three hours after SAH, a cranial window was prepared and the pial and parenchymal cerebral microcirculation was measured in vivo using two-photon microscopy before, during, and after administration of the ET
A
receptor inhibitor clazosentan. In separate experiments, the effect of clazosentan treatment on neurological outcome was measured 3 days after SAH.
Results—
Clazosentan treatment had no effect on the number or severity of SAH-induced cerebral microvasospasms nor did it affect neurological outcome.
Conclusions—
Our results indicate that ET
A
receptors, which mediate large artery spasms after SAH, do not seem to play a role in the development of microarterial spasms, suggesting that posthemorrhagic spasms are mediated by distinct mechanisms in large and small cerebral vessels. Given that cerebral microvessel dysfunction is a key factor for outcome after SAH, further research into the mechanisms that underlie posthemorrhagic microvasospasms is urgently needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early brain injury (EBI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an important predictor of poor functional outcome, yet the underlying mechanism is not well understood. Animal studies suggest that platelet activation and inflammation with subsequent microthrombosis and ischemia may be a mechanism of EBI. METHODS A prospective, hypothesis-driven study of spontaneous, SAH patients and controls was conducted. Platelet activation [thromboelastography maximum amplitude (MA)] and inflammation [C-reactive protein (CRP)] were measured serially over time during the first 72 h following SAH onset. Platelet activation and inflammatory markers were compared between controls and SAH patients with mild [Hunt-Hess (HH) 1-3] versus severe (HH 4-5) EBI. The association of these biomarkers with 3-month functional outcomes was evaluated. RESULTS We enrolled 127 patients (106 SAH; 21 controls). Platelet activation and CRP increased incrementally with worse EBI/HH grade, and both increased over 72 h (all P < 0.01). Both were higher in severe versus mild EBI (MA 68.9 vs. 64.8 mm, P = 0.001; CRP 12.5 vs. 1.5 mg/L, P = 0.003) and compared to controls (both P < 0.003). Patients with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) had more platelet activation (66.6 vs. 64.9 in those without DCI, P = 0.02) within 72 h of ictus. At 3 months, death or severe disability was more likely with higher levels of platelet activation (mRS4-6 OR 1.18, 95 % CI 1.05-1.32, P = 0.007) and CRP (mRS4-6 OR 1.02, 95 % CI 1.00-1.03, P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS Platelet activation and inflammation occur acutely after SAH and are associated with worse EBI, DCI and poor 3-month functional outcomes. These markers may provide insight into the mechanism of EBI following SAH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is common after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and represents a significant cause of poor functional outcome. DCI was mainly thought to be caused by cerebral vasospasm; however, recent clinical trials have been unable to confirm this hypothesis. Studies in humans and animal models have since supported the notion of a multifactorial pathophysiology of DCI. This review summarizes some of the main mechanisms under investigation including cerebral vascular dysregulation, microthrombosis, cortical spreading depolarizations, and neuroinflammation. RECENT FINDINGS Recent guidelines have differentiated between DCI and angiographic vasospasm and have highlighted roles of the microvasculature, coagulation and fibrinolytic systems, cortical spreading depressions, and the contribution of the immune system to DCI. Many therapeutic interventions are underway in both preclinical and clinical studies to target these novel mechanisms as well as studies connecting these mechanisms to one another. Clinical trials to date have been largely unsuccessful at preventing or treating DCI after SAH. The only successful pharmacologic intervention is the calcium channel antagonist, nimodipine. Recent studies have provided evidence that cerebral vasospasm is not the sole contributor to DCI and that additional mechanisms may play equal if not more important roles.

Abstract
Purpose Microvascular endothelial integrity is important for maintaining the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) disrupts this integrity, making the BBB dysfunctional—an important pathophysiological change after SAH. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) regulate microvascular permeability by balancing each other’s expression. Methods This study investigated the dynamics of Ang-1 and Ang-2 expression after SAH and the protective effect of Ang-1 on BBB functioning using an endovascular puncture model of rat SAH. The Ang-1 and Ang-2 expression in brain tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry. In addition, Western blotting was used to estimate Ang-1 and Ang-2 concentration and to compare them at 6–72 hours post-SAH cortex and hippocampus. Evans blue viability assay was used to evaluate BBB permeability, and neurological testing was implemented to evaluate neurological impairment during SAH. Results It was found that following SAH, Ang-1 expression decreases and Ang-2 expression increases in the cortex, hippocampus, and microvessels. The Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio decreased as quickly as 6 hours after SAH and reached its lowest 1 day after SAH. Finally, it was found that exogenous Ang-1 reduces SAH-associated BBB leakage and improves neurological function in post-SAH rats. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the equilibrium between Ang-1 and Ang-2 is broken in a period shortly after SAH, and the treatment of exogenous Ang-1 injection alleviates neurological dysfunctions through decreasing BBB destruction.

Abstract
Red blood cells (RBCs) constitute a unique drug delivery system as a biologic or hybrid carrier capable of greatly enhancing pharmacokinetics, altering pharmacodynamics (for example, by changing margination within the intravascular space), and modulating immune responses to appended cargoes. Strategies for RBC drug delivery systems include internal and surface loading, and the latter can be performed both ex vivo and in vivo. A relatively new avenue for RBC drug delivery is their application as a carrier for nanoparticles. Efforts are also being made to incorporate features of RBCs in nanocarriers to mimic their most useful aspects, such as long circulation and stealth features. RBCs have also recently been explored as carriers for the delivery of antigens for modulation of immune response. Therefore, RBC-based drug delivery systems represent supercarriers for a diverse array of biomedical interventions, and this is reflected by several industrial and academic efforts that are poised to enter the clinical realm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. EG-1962 is a sustained-release microparticle formulation of nimodipine that has shown preclinical efficacy when administered intraventricularly or intracisternally to dogs with SAH, without evidence of toxicity at doses in the anticipated therapeutic range. Thus, we propose to administer EG-1962 to humans in order to assess safety and tolerability and determine a dose to investigate efficacy in subsequent clinical studies. METHODS We describe a Phase 1/2a multicenter, controlled, randomized, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and assess the safety and tolerability of EG-1962 in patients with aSAH. The study will comprise two parts: a dose escalation period (Part 1) to determine the MTD of EG-1962 and a treatment period (Part 2) to assess the safety and tolerability of the selected dose of EG-1962. Patients with a ruptured saccular aneurysm treated by neurosurgical clipping or endovascular coiling will be considered for enrollment. Patients will be randomized to receive either EG-1962 (study drug: nimodipine microparticles) or oral nimodipine in the approved dose regimen (active control) within 60 h of aSAH. RESULTS Primary objectives are to determine the MTD and the safety and tolerability of the selected dose of intraventricular EG-1962 as compared to enteral nimodipine. The secondary objective is to determine release and distribution by measuring plasma and CSF concentrations of nimodipine. Exploratory objectives are to determine the incidence of delayed cerebral infarction on computed tomography, clinical features of delayed cerebral ischemia, angiographic vasospasm, and incidence of rescue therapy and clinical outcome. Clinical outcome will be determined at 90 days after aSAH using the extended Glasgow outcome scale, modified Rankin scale, Montreal cognitive assessment, telephone interview of cognitive status, and Barthel index. CONCLUSION Here, we describe a Phase 1/2a multicenter, controlled, randomized, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the MTD and assess the safety and tolerability of EG-1962 in patients with aSAH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypercoagulability after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is well described and may be platelet mediated. Thromboelastography (TEG) provides a global assessment of coagulation. We sought to determine whether the maximum amplitude (MA) parameter of TEG, a measure of platelet strength and function, is associated with outcome after SAH. METHODS One hundred ten TEG analyses were performed for patients with moderate-to-severe SAH and compared with 6 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. TEG indices included MA, G value (G), alpha angle, and thrombus generation and were correlated to functional outcomes and laboratory tests including complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and d-dimer, obtained on post-bleed days (PBDs) 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10. RESULTS MA was significantly elevated compared with controls on PBD 3 (70.0 mm ± 4.5 mm vs. 64.1 mm ± 6.5 mm; P = 0.02), PBD 5 (72.6 mm ± 5.3 mm vs. 64.1 mm ± 6.5 mm; P = 0.003), PBD 7 (73.0 mm ± 5.4 mm vs. 64.1 mm ± 6.5 mm; P = 0.003), and PBD 10 (73.4 mm ± 6.0 mm vs. 64.1 mm ± 6.5 mm; P = 0.005). G was significantly elevated compared with controls on PBD 3 (P = 0.03), PBD 5 (P = 0.01), PBD 7 (P = 0.01), and PBD 10 (P = 0.02). The only biomarker associated with poor outcome was CRP. Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated an association between elevated MA and outcome (odds ratio 39.1, P = 0.006) independent of CRP, age, Hunt Hess grade, and transfusion. CONCLUSIONS TEG indices are associated with poor outcome after SAH and may identify a platelet-mediated hypercoagulable state. The association between MA and outcome was stronger than that between traditional biomarkers and was independent of age and Hunt Hess grade.

Abstract
For several decades, researchers have used erythrocytes for drug delivery of a wide variety of therapeutics in order to improve their pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, controlled release and pharmacodynamics. Approaches include encapsulation of drugs within erythrocytes, as well as coupling of drugs onto the red cell surface. This review focuses on the latter approach, and examines the delivery of red blood cell (RBC)-surface-bound anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and anti-microbial agents, as well as RBC carriage of nanoparticles. Herein, we discuss the progress that has been made in surface loading approaches, and address in depth the issues relevant to surface loading of RBC, including intrinsic features of erythrocyte membranes, immune considerations, potential surface targets and techniques for the production of affinity ligands.

Effect of endothelin receptor antagonists on clinically relevant outcomes after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 2015; 35:1085-9. [PMID: 25944590 PMCID: PMC4640283 DOI: 10.1038/jcbfm.2015.89] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2014] [Revised: 04/01/2015] [Accepted: 04/01/2015] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
In clinical trials, endothelin receptor antagonists (ETRAs) reduced vasospasm but did not improve functional outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We assessed the effects of treatment with ETRAs on clinically relevant outcomes in animal studies modelling SAH by performing a systematic review of the literature for controlled animal studies of ETRAs for the treatment of SAH. Primary outcomes were neurobehavioral outcomes and case fatality. Secondary outcomes were cerebral vasospasm and cerebral blood flow. Summary estimates were calculated using normalized mean difference random effects meta-analysis. We included 27 studies (55 experiments, 639 animals). Neurobehavioral scores were reported in none of the experiments, and case fatality in 8 (15%). Treatment with ETRAs was associated with a pooled odds ratio for case fatality of 0.61 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.27 to 1.39); a 54% increase (95% CI, 39 to 69) in cerebral arterial diameter; and a 93% increase (95% CI, 58 to 129) in cerebral blood flow. We conclude that there is no evidence from animal studies that treatment with an ETRA improves clinically relevant outcomes after SAH. The reduction in cerebral vasospasm observed in animal studies is consistent with that observed in clinical trials, an effect that is not associated with better functional outcome in patients.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has been associated with microthrombosis, which can result from activated hemostasis, inhibited fibrinolysis, or both. We systematically searched the PUBMED and EMBASE databases to identify hemostatic or fibrinolytic parameters that can be used for the prediction or diagnosis of DCI, or that inform on the pathogenesis of DCI and may serve as treatment targets. We included 24 studies that fulfilled predefined criteria and described 39 biomarkers. Only one study fulfilled predefined criteria for high quality. Since no parameter on admission was associated with DCI and in none of the included studies blood was drawn at the time of clinical deterioration, none of the studied parameters can presently be used for the prediction or diagnosis of DCI. Regarding the pathogenesis of DCI, it was shown that compared with patients without DCI those with DCI had higher levels of von Willebrand factor and platelet activating factor in plasma 5 to 9 days after aSAH, membrane tissue factor in cerebrospinal fluid 5 to 9 days after aSAH, and D-dimer in plasma 11 to 14 days after aSAH. Confirmation in high-quality studies is needed to investigate whether these parameters can serve as targets for new intervention studies.

The role of microclot formation in an acute subarachnoid hemorrhage model in the rabbit. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:161702. [PMID: 25110658 PMCID: PMC4109416 DOI: 10.1155/2014/161702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2014] [Accepted: 06/02/2014] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Background. Microvascular dysfunction and microthrombi formation are believed to contribute to development of early brain injury (EBI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Objective. This study aimed to determine (i) extent of microthrombus formation and neuronal apoptosis in the brain parenchyma using a blood shunt SAH model in rabbits; (ii) correlation of structural changes in microvessels with EBI characteristics. Methods. Acute SAH was induced using a rabbit shunt cisterna magna model. Extent of microthrombosis was detected 24 h post-SAH (n = 8) by fibrinogen immunostaining, compared to controls (n = 4). We assessed apoptosis by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick end labeling (TUNEL) in cortex and hippocampus. Results. Our results showed significantly more TUNEL-positive cells (SAH: 115 ± 13; controls: 58 ± 10; P = 0.016) and fibrinogen-positive microthromboemboli (SAH: 9 ± 2; controls: 2 ± 1; P = 0.03) in the hippocampus after aneurysmal SAH. Conclusions. We found clear evidence of early microclot formation in a rabbit model of acute SAH. The extent of microthrombosis did not correlate with early apoptosis or CPP depletion after SAH; however, the total number of TUNEL positive cells in the cortex and the hippocampus significantly correlated with mean CPP reduction during the phase of maximum depletion after SAH induction. Both microthrombosis and neuronal apoptosis may contribute to EBI and subsequent DCI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Erythrocytes (red blood cells [RBCs]) and artificial or synthetic delivery systems such as liposomes, nanoparticles (NPs) are the most investigated carrier systems. Herein, progress made from conventional approach of using RBC as delivery systems to novel approach of using synthetic delivery systems based on RBC properties will be reviewed. AREAS COVERED We aim to highlight both conventional and novel approaches of using RBCs as potential carrier system. Conventional approaches which include two main strategies are: i) directly loading therapeutic moieties in RBCs; and ii) coupling them with RBCs whereas novel approaches exploit structural, mechanical and biological properties of RBCs to design synthetic delivery systems through various engineering strategies. Initial attempts included coupling of antibodies to liposomes to specifically target RBCs. Knowledge obtained from several studies led to the development of RBC membrane derived liposomes (nanoerythrosomes), inspiring future application of RBC or its structural features in other attractive delivery systems (hydrogels, filomicelles, microcapsules, micro- and NPs) for even greater potential. EXPERT OPINION In conclusion, this review dwells upon comparative analysis of various conventional and novel engineering strategies in developing RBC based drug delivery systems, diversifying their applications in arena of drug delivery. Regardless of the challenges in front of us, RBC based delivery systems offer an exciting approach of exploiting biological entities in a multitude of medical applications.
