Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) results in the interruption of blood flow to the brain, which can cause significant damage. The pathophysiological mechanisms of IS include ionic imbalances, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and impairment of brain barriers. Brain barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier (B-CSF), protect the brain from harmful substances by regulating the neurochemical environment. Although the BBB is widely recognized for its crucial role in protecting the brain and its involvement in conditions such as stroke, the B-CSF requires further study. The B-CSF plays a fundamental role in regulating the CSF environment and maintaining the homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS). However, the impact of B-CSF impairment during pathological events such as IS is not yet fully understood. In conditions like IS and other neurological disorders, the B-CSF can become compromised, allowing the entry of inflammatory substances and increasing neuronal damage. Understanding and preserving the integrity of the B-CSF are crucial for mitigating damage and facilitating recovery after ischemic stroke, highlighting its fundamental role in regulating the CNS during adverse neurological conditions.

Abstract
Concussions are the most common type of traumatic brain injury. They result from external force to the head that causes a neuro-metabolic cascade to unfold. This can then lead to a variety of symptoms in the domains of physical, cognition, mood, and sleep. Concussions are a clinical diagnosis but it is important to rule out acute intracranial pathology through a detailed history and physical examination in addition to possible head imaging. Treatment should include an individualized approach that focuses on what domains are affected after concussion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) may be implicated in the pathophysiological pathways associated with an unfavorable outcome after acute brain injury (ABI). METHODS We collected samples of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (vCSF) for 5 days in 50 consecutive patients at risk of intracranial hypertension after traumatic and nontraumatic ABI. Differences in vCSF protein expression over time were evaluated using linear models and selected for functional network analysis using the PANTHER and STRING databases. The primary exposure of interest was the type of brain injury (traumatic vs. nontraumatic), and the primary outcome was the vCSF expression of DAMPs. Secondary exposures of interest included the occurrence of intracranial pressure ≥20 or ≥ 30 mm Hg during the 5 days post-ABI, intensive care unit (ICU) mortality, and neurological outcome (assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Score) at 3 months post-ICU discharge. Secondary outcomes included associations of these exposures with the vCSF expression of DAMPs. RESULTS A network of 6 DAMPs ( DAMP_trauma ; protein-protein interaction [PPI] P =0.04) was differentially expressed in patients with ABI of traumatic origin compared with those with nontraumatic ABI. ABI patients with intracranial pressure ≥30 mm Hg differentially expressed a set of 38 DAMPS ( DAMP_ICP30 ; PPI P < 0.001). Proteins in DAMP_ICP30 are involved in cellular proteolysis, complement pathway activation, and post-translational modifications. There were no relationships between DAMP expression and ICU mortality or unfavorable versus favorable outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Specific patterns of vCSF DAMP expression differentiated between traumatic and nontraumatic types of ABI and were associated with increased episodes of severe intracranial hypertension.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Brain dysfunction in sepsis is known as sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE), which often results in severe cognitive and neurological sequelae and increases the risk of death. Neuron specific enolase (NSE) may serve as an important neurocritical biomarker for detection and longitudinal monitoring in SAE patients. Our systematic review and meta-analysis will aim to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum NSE in SAE patients. Currently, no systematic review and meta-analysis have been assessed that NSE as a biomarker of SAE. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of serum NSE for the diagnostic and prognostic value of SAE patients. The primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of serum NSE as an independent biomarker for SAE. The secondary objective is to determine the prognostic strength of serum NSE as an independent biomarker of mortality in septic patients determine. We will perform a systematic search and descriptive review using the MEDLINE database and the PubMed interface. We will assign two independent reviewers to review all collected titles and associated abstracts, review full articles, and extract study data. We will use the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies version 2 (QUADAS-2) assessment tool according to the recommendation by the Cochrane Collaboration to evaluate quality and risk of bias of the selected studies. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses will also be used to assess heterogeneity. Review Manager version 5.4 and Stata16.0. will be used for statistical analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The meta-analysis will provide ICU physicians with the most current information to predict which patients are at risk of SAE and take corresponding intervention measures to reduce morbidity and ameliorate neurological outcomes. There is no need for ethics approval for this review. The findings will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42023398736.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the most common strokes posing a grave threat to human life and health. Predicting the prognosis of AIS allows for an understanding of disease progress, and a better quality of life by making individualized treatment scheme. In this paper, we conducted a systematic search on PubMed, focusing on the relevant literature in the last 5 years. Summarizing the candidate prognostic biomarkers of AIS in body fluids such as blood, urine, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid is often of great significance for the management of acute ischemic stroke, which has the potential to facilitate early diagnosis, treatment, prevention and long-term outcome improvement.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a potentially fatal health event that cannot be predicted in advance. After TBI occurs, it can have enduring consequences within both familial and social spheres. Yet, despite extensive efforts to improve medical interventions and tailor healthcare services, TBI still remains a major contributor to global disability and mortality rates. The prompt and accurate diagnosis of TBI in clinical contexts, coupled with the implementation of effective therapeutic strategies, remains an arduous challenge. However, a deeper understanding of changes in gene expression and the underlying molecular regulatory processes may alleviate this pressing issue. In recent years, the study of regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), a diverse class of RNA molecules with regulatory functions, has been a potential game changer in TBI research. Notably, the identification of microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and other ncRNAs has revealed their potential as novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for TBI, owing to their ability to regulate the expression of numerous genes. In this review, we seek to provide a comprehensive overview of the functions of regulatory ncRNAs in TBI. We also summarize regulatory ncRNAs used for treatment in animal models, as well as miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs that served as biomarkers for TBI diagnosis and prognosis. Finally, we discuss future challenges and prospects in diagnosing and treating TBI patients in the clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Alpha-synuclein seed amplification assays (α-syn SAAs) are promising diagnostic methods for Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. However, there is limited consensus regarding the diagnostic and differential diagnostic performance of α-syn SAAs on biofluids and peripheral tissues. METHODS A comprehensive research was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. A network meta-analysis based on an ANOVA model was conducted to compare the relative accuracy of α-syn SAAs with different specimens. RESULTS The pooled sensitivity and specificity of α-syn SAAs in distinguishing PD from healthy controls or non-neurodegenerative neurological controls were 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89-0.92) and 0.95 (95% CI 0.94-0.96) for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); 0.91 (95% CI 0.86-0.94) and 0.92 (95% CI 0.87-0.95) for skin; 0.80 (95% CI 0.66-0.89) and 0.87 (95% CI 0.69-0.96) for submandibular gland; 0.44 (95% CI 0.30-0.59) and 0.92 (95% CI 0.79-0.98) for gastrointestinal tract; 0.79 (95% CI 0.70-0.86) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.77-0.95) for saliva; and 0.51 (95% CI 0.39-0.62) and 0.91 (95% CI 0.84-0.96) for olfactory mucosa (OM). The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.91 (95% CI 0.89-0.93) and 0.50 (95% CI 0.44-0.55) for CSF, 0.92 (95% CI 0.83-0.97) and 0.22 (95% CI 0.06-0.48) for skin, and 0.55 (95% CI 0.42-0.68) and 0.50 (95% CI 0.35-0.65) for OM in distinguishing PD from multiple system atrophy. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.92 (95% CI 0.89-0.94) and 0.84 (95% CI 0.73-0.91) for CSF, 0.92 (95% CI 0.83-0.97) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.64-0.99) for skin and 0.63 (95% CI 0.52-0.73) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.64-0.97) for OM in distinguishing PD from progressive supranuclear palsy. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.94 (95% CI 0.90-0.97) and 0.95 (95% CI 0.77-1.00) for CSF and 0.94 (95% CI 0.84-0.99) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.42-1.00) for skin in distinguishing PD from corticobasal degeneration. CONCLUSIONS α-Synuclein SAAs of CSF, skin, saliva, submandibular gland, gastrointestinal tract and OM are promising diagnostic assays for PD, with CSF and skin α-syn SAAs demonstrating higher diagnostic performance.

Abstract
Suspected central nervous system (CNS) infections may pose a diagnostic challenge, and often concern severely ill patients. We aim to identify predictors of unfavourable outcome to prioritize diagnostics and treatment improvements. Unfavourable outcome was assessed on the Glasgow Outcome Scale at hospital discharge, defined by a score of 1 to 4. Of the 1152 episodes with suspected CNS infection, from two Dutch prospective cohorts, the median age was 54 (IQR 37-67), and 563 episodes (49%) occurred in women. The final diagnoses were categorized as CNS infection (N = 358 episodes, 31%), CNS inflammatory disease (N = 113, 10%), non-infectious non-inflammatory neurological disorder (N = 388, 34%), non-neurological infection (N = 252, 22%), and other systemic disorder (N = 41, 4%). Unfavourable outcome occurred in 412 of 1152 (36%), and 99 died (9%). Predictors for unfavourable outcomes included advanced age, absence of headache, tachycardia, altered mental state, focal cerebral deficits, cranial nerve palsies, low thrombocytes, high CSF protein, and the final diagnosis of CNS inflammatory disease (odds ratio 4.5 [95% confidence interval 1.5-12.6]). Episodes suspected of having a CNS infection face high risk of experiencing unfavourable outcome, stressing the urgent need for rapid and accurate diagnostics. Amongst the suspected CNS infection group, those diagnosed with CNS inflammatory disease have the highest risk.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury is a common type of acquired brain injury of varying severity carrying potentially deleterious consequences for the afflicted individuals, families, and society. Following the initial, traumatically induced insult, cellular injury processes ensue. These are believed to be amenable to treatment. Among such injuries, neuroinflammation has gained interest and has become a specific focus for both experimental and clinical researchers. Neuroinflammation is elicited almost immediately following trauma, and extend for a long time, possibly for years, after the primary injury. In the acute phase, the inflammatory response is characterized by innate mechanisms such as the activation of microglia which among else mediates cytokine production. Among the earliest cytokines to emerge are the interleukin- (IL-) 1 family members, comprising, for example, the agonist IL-1β and its competitive antagonist, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra). Because of its early emergence following trauma and its increased concentrations also after human TBI, IL-1 has been hypothesized to be a tractable treatment target following TBI. Ample experimental data supports this, and demonstrates restored neurological behavior, diminished lesion zones, and an attenuated inflammatory response following IL-1 modulation either through IL-1 knock-out experiments, IL-1β inhibition, or IL-1ra treatment. Of these, IL-1ra treatment is likely the most physiological. In addition, recombinant human IL-1ra (anakinra) is already approved for utilization across a few rheumatologic disorders. As of today, one randomized clinical controlled trial has utilized IL-1ra inhibition as an intervention and demonstrated its safety. Further clinical trials powered for patient outcome are needed in order to demonstrate efficacy. In this review, we summarize IL-1 biology in relation to acute neuroinflammatory processes following TBI with a particular focus on current evidence for IL-1ra treatment both in the experimental and clinical context.

Abstract
Despite the high incidence and burden of stroke, biological biomarkers are not used routinely in clinical practice to diagnose, determine progression, or prognosticate outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Because of its direct interface with neural tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a potentially valuable source for biomarker development. This systematic review was conducted using three databases. All trials investigating clinical and preclinical models for CSF biomarkers for AIS diagnosis, prognostication, and severity grading were included, yielding 22 human trials and five animal studies for analysis. In total, 21 biomarkers and other multiomic proteomic markers were identified. S100B, inflammatory markers (including tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 6), and free fatty acids were the most frequently studied biomarkers. The review showed that CSF is an effective medium for biomarker acquisition for AIS. Although CSF is not routinely clinically obtained, a potential benefit of CSF studies is identifying valuable biomarkers from the pathophysiologic microenvironment that ultimately inform optimization of targeted low-abundance assays from peripheral biofluid samples (e.g., plasma). Several important catabolic and anabolic markers can serve as effective measures of diagnosis, etiology identification, prognostication, and severity grading. Trials with large cohorts studying the efficacy of biomarkers in altering clinical management are still needed.

Abstract
History of traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a significant risk factor for development of dementia and neurodegenerative disorders in later life. While histopathological sequelae and neurological diagnostics of TBI are well defined, the molecular events linking the post-TBI signaling and neurodegenerative cascades remain unknown. It is not only due to the brain's inaccessibility to direct molecular analysis but also due to the lack of well-defined and highly informative peripheral biomarkers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in blood are promising candidates to address this gap. Using integrative bioinformatics pipeline including miRNA:target identification, pathway enrichment, and protein-protein interactions analysis we identified set of genes, interacting proteins, and pathways that are connected to previously reported peripheral miRNAs, deregulated following severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) in humans. This meta-analysis revealed a spectrum of genes closely related to critical biological processes, such as neuroregeneration including axon guidance and neurite outgrowth, neurotransmission, inflammation, proliferation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, and response to DNA damage. More importantly, we have identified molecular pathways associated with neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, based on purely peripheral markers. The pathway signature after acute sTBI is similar to the one observed in chronic neurodegenerative conditions, which implicates a link between the post-sTBI signaling and neurodegeneration. Identified key hub interacting proteins represent a group of novel candidates for potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers.

Real-Time PCR Quantification of 87 miRNAs from Cerebrospinal Fluid: miRNA Dynamics and Association with Extracellular Vesicles after Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054751.

Abstract
Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is an intracranial damage triggered by external force, most commonly due to falls and traffic accidents. The initial brain injury can progress into a secondary injury involving numerous pathophysiological processes. The resulting sTBI dynamics makes the treatment challenging and prompts the improved understanding of underlying intracranial processes. Here, we analysed how extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are affected by sTBI. We collected thirty-five cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) from five sTBI patients during twelve days (d) after the injury and combined them into d1-2, d3-4, d5-6 and d7-12 CSF pools. After miRNA isolation and cDNA synthesis with added quantification spike-ins, we applied a real-time PCR-array targeting 87 miRNAs. We detected all of the targeted miRNAs, with totals ranging from several nanograms to less than a femtogram, with the highest levels found at d1-2 followed by decreasing levels in later CSF pools. The most abundant miRNAs were miR-451a, miR-16-5p, miR-144-3p, miR-20a-5p, let-7b-5p, miR-15a-5p, and miR-21-5p. After separating CSF by size-exclusion chromatography, most miRNAs were associated with free proteins, while miR-142-3p, miR-204-5p, and miR-223-3p were identified as the cargo of CD81-enriched extracellular vesicles, as characterised by immunodetection and tunable resistive pulse sensing. Our results indicate that miRNAs might be informative about both brain tissue damage and recovery after sTBI.

Abstract
Monitoring protein biomarker levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can help assess injury severity and outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Determining injury-induced changes in the proteome of brain extracellular fluid (bECF) can more closely reflect changes in the brain parenchyma, but bECF is not routinely available. The aim of this pilot study was to compare time-dependent changes of S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), total Tau, and phosphorylated Tau (p-Tau) levels in matching CSF and bECF samples collected at 1, 3, and 5 days post-injury from severe TBI patients (n = 7; GCS 3-8) using microcapillary-based western analysis. We found that time-dependent changes in CSF and bECF levels were most pronounced for S100B and NSE, but there was substantial patient-to-patient variability. Importantly, the temporal pattern of biomarker changes in CSF and bECF samples showed similar trends. We also detected two different immunoreactive forms of S100B in both CSF and bECF samples, but the contribution of the different immunoreactive forms to total immunoreactivity varied from patient to patient and time point to time point. Our study is limited, but it illustrates the value of both quantitative and qualitative analysis of protein biomarkers and the importance of serial sampling for biofluid analysis after severe TBI.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) requires further characterization to fully elucidate changes in molecular pathways. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) provides a rich repository of brain-associated proteins. In this retrospective observational study, we implemented high-resolution mass spectrometry to evaluate changes to the CSF proteome after severe TBI. 91 CSF samples were analyzed with mass spectrometry, collected from 16 patients with severe TBI (mean 32 yrs; 81% male) on day 0, 1, 2, 4, 7 and/or 10 post-injury (8-16 samples/timepoint) and compared to CSF obtained from 11 non-injured controls. We quantified 1152 proteins with mass spectrometry, of which approximately 80% were associated with CSF. 1083 proteins were differentially regulated after TBI compared to control samples. The most highly-upregulated proteins at each timepoint included neutrophil elastase, myeloperoxidase, cathepsin G, matrix metalloproteinase-8, and S100 calcium-binding proteins A8, A9 and A12-all proteins involved in neutrophil activation, recruitment, and degranulation. Pathway enrichment analysis confirmed the robust upregulation of proteins associated with innate immune responses. Conversely, downregulated pathways included those involved in nervous system development, and several proteins not previously identified after TBI such as testican-1 and latrophilin-1. We also identified 7 proteins (GM2A, Calsyntenin 1, FAT2, GANAB, Lumican, NPTX1, SFRP2) positively associated with an unfavorable outcome at 6 months post-injury. Together, these findings highlight the robust innate immune response that occurs after severe TBI, supporting future studies to target neutrophil-related processes. In addition, the novel proteins we identified to be differentially regulated by severe TBI warrant further investigation as potential biomarkers of brain damage or therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lung injury (ALI) is the most serious complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We investigated role of autophagy and inflammatory signaling pathways in lung damage and therapeutic effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX). METHODS Fifty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham, SAH, SAH+ DEX5, SAH+DEX25, and SAH+DEX50. SAH was induced using endovascular perforation technique. All rats received mechanical ventilation for 60 minutes. At 2 and 24 h of SAH induction, SAH+DEX groups were treated with 5, 25, and 50 µg/kg of DEX, respectively. Histological ALI score and pulmonary edema were assessed after 48 h. Lung expression of LC3B, ATG3, p62, TLR4, TLR9, and NFκB was assessed using western blotting and quantitative PCR. Blood levels of IL-6, IL-1β, IFN-γ, and TNFα were also assessed. RESULTS SAH induced ALI and pulmonary edema, which were attenuated in SAH+DEX5 (P < 0.001 for both) and SAH+DEX25 groups (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001 for ALI and edema, respectively). Lung expressions of LC3B and ATG3 were upregulated in SAH group, which was attenuated in SAH+DEX5 and SAH+DEX25 groups. Lung expressions of TLR4, TLR9, and NFκB were increased in SAH group, which was attenuated in SAH+DEX5 group. Blood IL-6 level was increased in SAH group and attenuated in SAH+DEX5 and SAH+DEX25 groups. Blood IFN-γ level was lower in SAH group than in sham group, and it was increased in SAH+DEX25 group. CONCLUSIONS Low-dose DEX treatment after SAH may protect against ALI by disrupting pathological brain-lung crosstalk and alleviating autophagy flux and TLR-dependent inflammatory pathways.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, neurological researchers have uncovered many pathophysiological mechanisms associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), with early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischaemia both contributing to morbidity and mortality. The current dilemma in SAH management inspired us to rethink the nature of the insult in SAH: sudden bleeding into the subarachnoid space and hypoxia due to disturbed cerebral circulation and increased intracranial pressure, generating exogenous stimuli and subsequent pathophysiological processes. Exogenous stimuli are defined as factors which the brain tissue is not normally exposed to when in the healthy state. Intersections of these initial pathogenic factors lead to secondary brain injury with related metabolic changes after SAH. Herein, we summarized the current understanding of efforts to monitor and analyse SAH-related metabolic changes to identify those precise pathophysiological processes and potential therapeutic strategies; in particular, we highlight the restoration of normal cerebrospinal fluid circulation and the normalization of brain-blood interface physiology to alleviate early brain injury and delayed neurological deterioration after SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative analysis of ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (vCSF) proteins following acute brain injury (ABI) may help identify pathophysiological pathways and potential biomarkers that can predict unfavorable outcome. METHODS In this prospective proteomic analysis study, consecutive patients with severe ABI expected to require intraventricular catheterization for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring for at least 5 days and patients without ABI admitted for elective clipping of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm were included. vCSF samples were collected within the first 24 h after ABI and ventriculostomy insertion and then every 24 h for 5 days. In patients without ABI, a single vCSF sample was collected at the time of elective clipping. Data-independent acquisition and sequential window acquisition of all theoretical spectra (SWATH) mass spectrometry were used to compare differences in protein expression in patients with ABI and patients without ABI and in patients with traumatic and nontraumatic ABI. Differences in protein expression according to different ICP values, intensive care unit outcome, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) versus traumatic brain injury (TBI), and good versus poor 3-month functional status (assessed by using the Glasgow Outcome Scale) were also evaluated. vCSF proteins with significant differences between groups were compared by using linear models and selected for gene ontology analysis using R Language and the Panther database. RESULTS We included 50 patients with ABI (SAH n = 23, TBI n = 15, intracranial hemorrhage n = 6, ischemic stroke n = 3, others n = 3) and 12 patients without ABI. There were significant differences in the expression of 255 proteins between patients with and without ABI (p < 0.01). There were intraday and interday differences in expression of seven proteins related to increased inflammation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and cellular response to hypoxia and injury. Among these, glial fibrillary acidic protein expression was higher in patients with ABI with severe intracranial hypertension (ICH) (ICP ≥ 30 mm Hg) or death compared to those without (log 2 fold change: + 2.4; p < 0.001), suggesting extensive primary astroglial injury or death. There were differences in the expression of 96 proteins between patients with traumatic and nontraumatic ABI (p < 0.05); intraday and interday differences were observed for six proteins related to structural damage, complement activation, and cholesterol metabolism. Thirty-nine vCSF proteins were associated with an increased risk of severe ICH (ICP ≥ 30 mm Hg) in patients with traumatic compared with nontraumatic ABI (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found in protein expression between patients with SAH versus TBI or between those with good versus poor 3-month Glasgow Outcome Scale score. CONCLUSIONS Dysregulated vCSF protein expression after ABI may be associated with an increased risk of severe ICH and death.
