Abstract
Objective Although sepsis and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) are severe complications in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and share pathophysiological features, their interrelation and additive effect on functional outcome is uncertain. We investigated the association between sepsis and DCI and their cumulative effect on functional outcome in patients with aSAH using current sepsis-3 definition. Methods Patients admitted to our hospital between 11/2014 and 11/2018 for aSAH were retrospectively analyzed. The main explanatory variable was sepsis, diagnosed using sepsis-3 criteria. Endpoints were DCI and functional outcome at hospital discharge (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-3 vs. 4-6). Propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariable logistic regressions were performed. Results Of 238 patients with aSAH, 55 (23.1%) developed sepsis and 74 (31.1%) DCI. After PSM, aSAH patients with sepsis displayed significantly worse functional outcome (p < 0.01) and longer ICU stay (p = 0.046). Sepsis was independently associated with DCI (OR = 2.46, 95%CI: 1.28-4.72, p < 0.01). However, after exclusion of patients who developed sepsis before (OR = 1.59, 95%CI: 0.78-3.24, p = 0.21) or after DCI (OR = 0.85, 95%CI: 0.37-1.95, p = 0.70) this statistical association did not remain. Good functional outcome gradually decreased from 56.3% (76/135) in patients with neither sepsis nor DCI, to 43.8% (21/48) in those with no sepsis but DCI, to 34.5% (10/29) with sepsis but no DCI and to 7.7% (2/26) in patients with both sepsis and DCI. Conclusion Our study demonstrates a strong association between sepsis, DCI and functional outcome in patients with aSAH and suggests a complex interplay resulting in a cumulative effect towards poor functional outcome, which warrants further studies.

Longitudinal change of serum AIM2 levels after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and its prognostic significance: a two-center prospective cohort study. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10430. [PMID: 38714826 PMCID: PMC11076522 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61185-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is implicated in neuroinflammation. Here, we explored the prognostic significance of serum AIM2 in human aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We conducted a consecutive enrollment of 127 patients, 56 of whom agreed with blood-drawings not only at admission but also at days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after aSAH. Serum AIM2 levels of patients and 56 healthy controls were measured. Disease severity was assessed using the modified Fisher scale (mFisher) and World Federation of Neurological Surgeons Scale (WFNS). Neurological outcome at poststroke 90 days was evaluated via the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were sequentially done to ascertain relationship between serum AIM2 levels, severity, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and 90-day poor prognosis (mRS scores of 3-6). Patients, in comparison to controls, had a significant elevation of serum AIM2 levels at admission and at days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after aSAH, with the highest levels at days 1, 2, 3 and 5. AIM2 levels were independently correlated with WFNS scores and mFisher scores. Significantly higher serum AIM2 levels were detected in patients with a poor prognosis than in those with a good prognosis, as well as in patients with DCI than in those without DCI. Moreover, serum AIM2 levels independently predicted a poor prognosis and DCI, and were linearly correlated with their risks. Using subgroup analysis, there were no significant interactions between serum AIM2 levels and age, gender, hypertension and so on. There were substantially high predictive abilities of serum AIM2 for poor prognosis and DCI under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The combination models of DCI and poor prognosis, in which serum AIM2, WFNS scores and mFisher scores were incorporated, showed higher discriminatory efficiencies than anyone of the preceding three variables. Moreover, the models are delineated using the nomogram, and performed well under the calibration curve and decision curve. Serum AIM2 levels, with a substantial enhancement during early phase after aSAH, are closely related to bleeding severity, poor 90-day prognosis and DCI of patients, substantializing serum AIM2 as a potential prognostic biomarker of aSAH.

Comparison of efficacy between clazosentan and fasudil hydrochloride-based management of vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage focusing on older and WFNS grade V patients: a single-center experience in Japan. Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:113. [PMID: 38472507 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-024-02345-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage often leads to poor outcomes owing to vasospasm, even after successful aneurysm treatment. Clazosentan, an endothelin receptor inhibitor, has been proven to be an effective treatment for vasospasms in a Japanese randomized controlled trial. However, its efficacy in older patients (≥ 75 years old) and those with World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade V has not been demonstrated. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of clazosentan in older patients and those with WFNS grade V, using real-world data. Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage treated before and after the introduction of clazosentan were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were categorized into two groups (clazosentan era versus pre-clazosentan era), in which vasospasm management and outcomes were compared. Vasospasms were managed with fasudil hydrochloride-based (pre-clazosentan era) or clazosentan-based treatment (clazosentan era). Seventy-eight patients were included in this study: the clazosentan era (n = 32) and pre-clazosentan era (n = 46). Overall, clazosentan significantly reduced clinical vasospasms (clazosentan era: 31.3% versus pre-clazosentan era: 60.9%, p = 0.01), delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) (9.4% versus 39.1%, p = 0.004), and vasospasm-related morbidity and mortality (M/M) (3.1% versus 19.6%, p = 0.03). In subgroup analysis of older patients or those with WFNS grade V, no significant difference was observed in clinical outcomes, although both DCI and vasospasm-related M/M were lower in the clazosentan era. Clazosentan was more effective than fasudil-based management in preventing DCI and reducing vasospasm-related M/M. Clazosentan could be used safely in older patients and those with WFNS grade V, although clinical outcomes in these patients were comparable to those of conventional treatment.

Abstract
Stroke has long been a major threat to human health worldwide. Hemorrhagic stroke, including intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage, exhibits a high incidence rate and a high mortality and disability rate, imposing a substantial burden on both public health and the economy and society. In recent years, the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) family has garnered extensive attention in various pathological conditions, including hemorrhagic stroke. This review comprehensively summarizes the structure and function of TREM1/2, as well as their roles and potential mechanisms in hemorrhagic stroke, with the aim of providing guidance for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies in the future.

Prognostic significance of white blood cell to platelet ratio in delayed cerebral ischemia and long-term clinical outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1180178.

Abstract
Objectives The ratio of white blood cell to platelet count (WPR) is considered a promising biomarker in some diseases. However, its prediction of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and prognosis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has not been studied. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the predictive value of WPR in DCI after aSAH and its impact on 90-day functional outcome. Materials and methods This study retrospectively analyzed the data of blood biochemical parameters in 447 patients with aSAH at early admission. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the risk factors for DCI. According to multivariate analysis results, a nomogram for predicting DCI is developed and verified by R software. The influence of WPR on 90-day modified Rankin score (mRS) was also analyzed. Results Among 447 patients with aSAH, 117 (26.17%) developed DCI during hospitalization. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that WPR [OR = 1.236; 95%CI: 1.058-1.444; p = 0.007] was an independent risk factor for DCI. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive ability of WPR for DCI, and the cut-off value of 5.26 (AUC 0.804, 95% CI: 0.757-0.851, p < 0.001). The ROC curve (AUC 0.875, 95% CI: 0.836-0.913, p < 0.001) and calibration curve (mean absolute error = 0.017) showed that the nomogram had a good predictive ability for the occurrence of DCI. Finally, we also found that high WPR levels at admission were closely associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion WPR level at admission is a novel serum marker for DCI and the poor prognosis after aSAH. A nomogram model containing early WPR will be of great value in predicting DCI after aSAH.

Microvascular cerebral blood flow response to intrathecal nicardipine is associated with delayed cerebral ischemia. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1052232. [PMID: 37006474 PMCID: PMC10064128 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1052232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the common complications of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Intrathecal (IT) administration of nicardipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB), upon detection of large-artery cerebral vasospasm holds promise as a treatment that reduces the incidence of DCI. In this observational study, we prospectively employed a non-invasive optical modality called diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) to quantify the acute microvascular cerebral blood flow (CBF) response to IT nicardipine (up to 90 min) in 20 patients with medium-high grade non-traumatic SAH. On average, CBF increased significantly with time post-administration. However, the CBF response was heterogeneous across subjects. A latent class mixture model was able to classify 19 out of 20 patients into two distinct classes of CBF response: patients in Class 1 (n = 6) showed no significant change in CBF, while patients in Class 2 (n = 13) showed a pronounced increase in CBF in response to nicardipine. The incidence of DCI was 5 out of 6 in Class 1 and 1 out of 13 in Class 2 (p < 0.001). These results suggest that the acute (<90 min) DCS-measured CBF response to IT nicardipine is associated with intermediate-term (up to 3 weeks) development of DCI.

Thiolutin attenuates ischemic stroke injury via inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome: an in vitro and in vivo study. Exp Brain Res 2023; 241:839-849. [PMID: 36749359 DOI: 10.1007/s00221-023-06566-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
A recent study confirmed that thiolutin is effective in the treatment of nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)-related inflammatory diseases. Nevertheless, whether thiolutin (THL) is involved in the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome in ischemic stroke is not known. The murine neuronal cell oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model was first established, and then different concentrations (25 nM and 50 nM) of THL were administered for 48 h incubation, respectively. Subsequently, cell viability and toxicity, and the levels of intracellular inflammatory factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18), oxidative stress factors superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and NLRP3 inflammasome activation-related proteins pro-caspase, caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck like-protein (ASC) and NLRP3 were examined, respectively. We further established the mouse middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model to evaluate the therapeutic effects of THL on cerebral infarction like behaviors in mice and the preventive effects on NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vivo. Cell cytotoxic, and the levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress were conspicuously increased, and NLRP3 inflammasome was materially activated in the OGD-induced cell model and MCAO-established mouse model, which were partially countered by THL treatment. Besides, intraperitoneal injection of THL could prominently reduce the cerebral infarct volume and neuromotor deficit scores in MCAO mice. The present study confirmed that THL attenuated neuronal and cerebral inflammatory injury caused by OGD and MCAO models in mice through restraining NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vitro and in vivo.

[PMID: 36845638 PMCID: PMC9957647 DOI: 10.1155/2023/7656069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023]
Abstract
Objectives Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) contributes to poor aneurysm prognosis. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and DCI have irreversible and severe consequences once they occur; therefore, early prediction and prevention are important. We investigated the risk factors for postoperative complications of DCI in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) requiring mechanical ventilation in intensive care and validated a prediction model. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with aSAH who were treated in a French university hospital neuro-ICU between January 2010 and December 2015. The patients were randomized into a training group (144) and verification groups (60). Nomograms were validated in the training and verification groups, where receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to verify model discrimination; calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to determine model calibration; and decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to verify clinical validity of the model. Results External ventricular drain (EVD), duration of mechanical ventilation, and treatment were significantly associated in the univariate analysis; EVD and rebleeding were significantly associated with the occurrence of DCI after aSAH. Binary logistic regression was used to select five clinicopathological characteristics to predict the occurrence of DCI in patients with aSAH requiring mechanical ventilation nomograms of the risk of DCI. Area under the curve values for the training and verification groups were 0.768 and 0.246, with Brier scores of 0.166 and 0.163, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow calibration test values for the training and verification groups were x 2 = 3.824 (P = 0.923) and x 2 = 10.868 (P = 0.285), respectively. Calibration curves showed good agreement. DCA indicated that the training and verification groups showed large positive returns in the broad risk range of 0-77% and 0-63%, respectively. Conclusions The predictive model of concurrent DCI in aSAH has theoretical and practical values and can provide individualized treatment options for patients with aSAH who require mechanical ventilation.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage: a prospective observational study. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2023; 165:1277-1287. [PMID: 36695932 PMCID: PMC10140079 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-022-05485-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is suspected that microbiome-derived trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) may enhance platelet responsiveness and accordingly be thrombophilic. The purpose of this prospective observational study is to evaluate TMAO in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and compare it with a control group. A secondary aim was to investigate TMAO in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from SAH patients. This should provide a better understanding of the role of TMAO in the pathogenesis of SAH and its thrombotic complications. METHODS The study included patients with diagnosed spontaneous SAH recruited after initial treatment on admission and patients with nerve, nerve root, or plexus disorders serving as controls. Blood samples were gathered from all patients at recruitment. Additionally, sampling of SAH patients in the intensive care unit continued daily for 14 days. The CSF was collected out of existing external ventricular drains whenever possible. RESULTS Thirty-four patients diagnosed with SAH, and 108 control patients participated in this study. Plasma TMAO levels at baseline were significantly lower in the SAH group (1.7 μmol/L) compared to the control group (2.9 μmol/L). TMAO was detectable in the CSF (0.4 μmol/L) and significantly lower than in plasma samples of the SAH group at baseline. Plasma and CSF TMAO levels correlated positively. The TMAO levels did not differ significantly during the observation period of 15 days. CONCLUSIONS Although we assumed that patients with higher TMAO levels were at higher risk for SAH a priori, plasma TMAO levels were lower in patients with SAH compared with control subjects with nerve, nerve root, or plexus disorders on admission to the hospital. A characteristic pattern of plasma TMAO levels in patients with SAH was not found.

Potential role of serum hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha as a biomarker of delayed cerebral ischemia and poor clinical outcome after human aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A prospective, longitudinal, multicenter, and observational study. Front Neurol 2022; 13:1072351. [PMID: 36570456 PMCID: PMC9772017 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1072351] [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: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1α) functions as a crucial transcriptional mediator in hypoxic and ischemic brain response. We endeavored to assess the prognostic significance of serum HIF-1α in human aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Methods In this prospective, longitudinal, multicenter, and observational study of 257 patients with aSAH and 100 healthy controls, serum HIF-1α levels were quantified. Univariate analyses, followed by multivariate analyses, were performed to discern the relationship between serum HIF-1α levels and severity and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) plus poststroke 6-month poor outcome [extended Glasgow outcome scale (GOSE) scores of 1-4]. Predictive efficiency was determined under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results There were significantly increased serum HIF-lα levels after aSAH, in comparison to controls (median, 288.0 vs. 102.6 pg/ml; P < 0.001). Serum HIF-lα levels were independently correlated with Hunt-Hess scores [β, 78.376; 95% confidence interval (CI): 56.446-100.305; P = 0.001] and modified Fisher scores (β, 52.037; 95% CI: 23.461-80.614; P = 0.002). Serum HIF-lα levels displayed significant efficiency for discriminating DCI risk [area under ROC curve (AUC), 0.751; 95% CI: 0.687-0.815; P < 0.001] and poor outcome (AUC, 0.791; 95% CI: 0.736-0.846; P < 0.001). Using the Youden method, serum HIF-1α levels >229.3 pg/ml predicted the development of DCI with 92.3% sensitivity and 48.4% specificity and serum HIF-1α levels >384.0 pg/ml differentiated the risk of a poor prognosis with 71.4% sensitivity and 81.1% specificity. Serum HIF-1α levels >229.3 pg/ml were independently predictive of DCI [odds ratio (OR), 3.061; 95% CI: 1.045-8.965; P = 0.041] and serum HIF-1α levels >384.0 pg/ml were independently associated with a poor outcome (OR, 2.907; 95% CI: 1.403-6.024; P = 0.004). The DCI predictive ability of their combination was significantly superior to those of Hunt-Hess scores (AUC, 0.800; 95% CI: 0.745-0.855; P = 0.039) and modified Fisher scores (AUC, 0.784; 95% CI: 0.726-0.843; P = 0.004). The prognostic predictive ability of their combination substantially exceeded those of Hunt-Hess scores (AUC, 0.839; 95% CI: 0.791-0.886; P < 0.001) and modified Fisher scores (AUC, 0.844; 95% CI: 0.799-0.890; P < 0.001). Conclusion Elevated serum HIF-lα levels after aSAH, in independent correlation with stroke severity, were independently associated with DCI and 6-month poor outcome, substantializing serum HIF-lα as a potential prognostic biomarker of aSAH.

Plasma Fibulin-5 Levels as an Independent Predictor of a Poor Outcome after an Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232315184. [PMID: 36499510 PMCID: PMC9740042 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232315184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 11/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a poor-outcome disease with a delayed neurological exacerbation. Fibulin-5 (FBLN5) is one of matricellular proteins, some of which have been involved in SAH pathologies. However, no study has investigated FBLN5's roles in SAH. This study was aimed at examining the relationships between serially measured plasma FBLN5 levels and neurovascular events or outcomes in 204 consecutive aneurysmal SAH patients, including 77 patients (37.7%) with poor outcomes (90-day modified Rankin Scale 3-6). Plasma FBLN5 levels were not related to angiographic vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia, and delayed cerebral infarction, but elevated levels were associated with severe admission clinical grades, any neurological exacerbation and poor outcomes. Receiver-operating characteristic curves indicated that the most reasonable cut-off values of plasma FBLN5, in order to differentiate 90-day poor from good outcomes, were obtained from analyses at days 4-6 for all patients (487.2 ng/mL; specificity, 61.4%; and sensitivity, 62.3%) and from analyses at days 7-9 for only non-severe patient (476.8 ng/mL; specificity, 66.0%; and sensitivity, 77.8%). Multivariate analyses revealed that the plasma FBLN5 levels were independent determinants of the 90-day poor outcomes in both all patients' and non-severe patients' analyses. These findings suggest that the delayed elevation of plasma FBLN5 is related to poor outcomes, and that FBLN5 may be a new molecular target to reveal a post-SAH pathophysiology.

Abstract
Giant intracranial aneurysms (GIA) are rare and manifest primarily through subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), cerebral ischemia, or progressive symptoms of mass effect. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) can be used to monitor cerebral vasospasm after treatment of intracranial aneurysm allowing the adjustment of therapeutics and avoiding complications. The authors present a clinical case of a patient with a ruptured intracranial giant aneurysm in which TCD was essential to monitor vasospasm and intracranial hypertension (IH). A 53-year-old male was admitted due to a sudden headache and impaired consciousness, left hemiparesis, and dysarthria. Cerebral CT scan and CT angiography at admission showed a giant aneurysm of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) with extensive and diffuse intraventricular SAH of Fisher grade IV and Hunt and Hess grade 4. Clipping, placement of an intracranial pressure sensor, and external ventricular drain (EVD) were performed on the same day, with difficulty in preserving the M2 branch and complicated by postoperative extensive right MCA ischemia. On day three of hospitalization, TCD revealed an increased pulsatility index (>1.5) with clinical deterioration leading to re-intervention for a decompressive craniectomy. On day six, a TCD follow-up was performed to monitor blood flow complications, and particularly vasospasm, showing a severe increase in middle blood flow velocity (MBFV) in the right MCA of 205 cm/s and Lindegaard Index > 6. Daily surveillance by TCD was maintained to guide clinical management since the attempt to withdraw the EVD led to clinical deterioration with subsequent worsening of vasospasm. Improvement occurred after surgery as ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion was performed. TCD had a major role in the clinical orientation of SAH as well as in intracranial pressure management and was decisive to establish long-term treatment.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) agonist, clonidine, on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and elaborate the underlying mechanisms. Cerebral I/R model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 2 h followed by reperfusion for 4 h in adult male SD rats. Saline, clonidine and yohimbine (an α2-AR antagonist) were intraperitoneally administered each day for one week before surgery. Neurological deficit was evaluated just before decapitation. TTC staining was applied for correlation of cerebral infarction volume. HE staining was performed to observe the neuron morphology. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the localization and expression of GluN3 proteins. Western blot analysis also was used to detect the expression levels of GluN3 proteins. Our data showed that clonidine ameliorated neurological deficit and reduced the cerebral infarction volume of the rats with cerebral I/R. It is worth noting that treatment with clonidine up-regulated the protein expression of GluN3 in the rats with the cerebral I/R, especially in the cell membrane. Moreover, clonidine also up-regulated the transposition from cytoplasm to cell membrane of GluN3 after cerebral I/R. In addition, yohimbine abolished the neuroprotective effects of clonidine. The results indicated that clonidine played a protective role in cerebral I/R injury through regulation of the protein expression of GluN3 subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor.

Abstract
Objective Vitamin D is associated with neurological deficits in patients with cerebral infarction. This study uses machine learning to evaluate the prediction model's efficacy of the correlation between vitamin D and neurological deficit in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 200 patients with cerebral infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology of our hospital from July 2018 to June 2019 were selected. The patients were randomly divided into a training set (n = 140) and a test set (n = 60) in a 7 : 3 ratio. The prediction model is constructed from the training set's data, and the model's prediction effect was evaluated by test set data. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve was used to assess the prediction efficiency of models. Results In the training set, the area under the curve (AUC) of the logistic regression model and XGBoost algorithm model was 0.727 (95% CI: 0.601~0.854) and 0.818 (95% CI: 0.734~0.934), respectively. While in the test set, the AUC of the logistic regression model and XGBoost algorithm model was 0.761 (95% CI: 0.640~0.882) and 0.786 (95% CI: 0.670~0.902), respectively. Conclusion The prediction model of the correlation between vitamin D and neurological deficit in patients with cerebral infarction based on machine learning has a good prediction efficiency.

Abstract
Worldwide, the prevalence of surgery under general anesthesia has significantly increased, both because of modern anesthetic and pain-control techniques and because of better diagnosis and the increased complexity of surgical techniques. Apart from developing new concepts in the surgical field, researchers and clinicians are now working on minimizing the impact of surgical trauma and offering minimal invasive procedures due to the recent discoveries in the field of cellular and molecular mechanisms that have revealed a systemic inflammatory and pro-oxidative impact not only in the perioperative period but also in the long term, contributing to more difficult recovery, increased morbidity and mortality, and a negative financial impact. Detailed molecular and cellular analysis has shown an overproduction of inflammatory and pro-oxidative species, responsible for augmenting the systemic inflammatory status and making postoperative recovery more difficult. Moreover, there are a series of changes in certain epigenetic structures, the most important being the microRNAs. This review describes the most important molecular and cellular mechanisms that impact the surgical patient undergoing general anesthesia, and it presents a series of antioxidant therapies that can reduce systemic inflammation.

[PMID: 35488171 PMCID: PMC9283139 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-022-01492-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), a complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), is linked to cerebral vasospasm and associated with poor long-term outcome. We implemented a structured cerebral microdialysis (CMD) based protocol using the lactate/pyruvate ratio (LPR) as an indicator of the cerebral energy metabolic status in the neurocritical care decision making, using an LPR ≥ 30 as a cutoff suggesting an energy metabolic disturbance. We hypothesized that CMD monitoring could contribute to active, protocol-driven therapeutic interventions that may lead to the improved management of patients with SAH. METHODS Between 2018 and 2020, 49 invasively monitored patients with SAH, median Glasgow Coma Scale 11 (range 3-15), and World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies scale 4 (range 1-5) on admission receiving CMD were included. We defined a major CMD event as an LPR ≥ 40 for ≥ 2 h and a minor CMD event as an LPR ≥ 30 for ≥ 2 h. RESULTS We analyzed 7,223 CMD samples over a median of 6 days (5-8). Eight patients had no CMD events. In 41 patients, 113 minor events were recorded, and in 23 patients 42 major events were recorded. Our local protocols were adhered to in 40 major (95%) and 98 minor events (87%), with an active intervention in 32 (76%) and 71 (63%), respectively. Normalization of energy metabolic status (defined as four consecutive samples with LPR < 30 for minor and LPR < 40 for major events) was seen after 69% of major and 59% of minor events. The incidence of DCI-related infarcts was 10% (five patients), with only two observed in a CMD-monitored brain region. CONCLUSIONS Active interventions were initiated in a majority of LPR events based on CMD monitoring. A low DCI incidence was observed, which may be associated with the active interventions. The potential aid of CMD in the clinical decision-making targeting DCI needs confirmation in additional SAH studies.

Abstract
BackgroundArterial vasospasm has been ascribed as the responsible etiology of delayed cerebral infarction in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), but other neurovascular structures may be involved. We present the protocol for a multicenter, prospective, observational study focused on analyzing morphological changes in cerebral veins of patients with aSAH.Methods and AnalysisIn a retrospective arm, we will collect head arterial and venous CT angiograms (CTA) of 50 patients with aSAH and 50 matching healthy controls at days 0–2 and 7–10, comparing morphological venous changes. A multicenter prospective observational study will follow. Patients aged ≥18 years of any gender with aSAH will be enrolled at 9 participating centers based on the predetermined eligibility criteria. A sample size of 52 aSAH patients is expected, and 52 healthy controls matched per age, gender, and comorbidities will be identified. For each patient, sequential CTA will be conducted upon admission (day 0–2), at 7–10 days, and at 14–21 days after aSAH, evaluating volumes and morphology of the cerebral deep veins and main cortical veins. One specialized image collecting center will analyze all anonymized CTA scans, performing volumetric calculation of targeted veins. Morphological venous changes over time will be evaluated using the Dice coefficient and the Jaccard index and scored using the Boeckh–Behrens system. Morphological venous changes will be correlated to clinical outcomes and compared between patients with aSAH and healthy-controls, and among groups based on surgical/endovascular treatments for aSAH.Ethics and DisseminationThis protocol has been approved by the ethics committee and institutional review board of Ethikkommission, SALK, Salzburg, Austria, and will be approved at all participating sites. The study will comply with the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent will be obtained from all enrolled patients or their legal tutors. We will present our findings at academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals.Approved Protocol Version and RegistrationVersion 2, 09 June 2021.

Serum Soluble Scavenger Receptor A Levels are Associated with Delayed Cerebral Ischemia and Poor Clinical Outcome After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Prospective Observational Study. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2022; 18:2529-2541. [PMID: 36349344 PMCID: PMC9637348 DOI: 10.2147/ndt.s387487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Scavenger receptor A (SRA), a pattern recognition molecule, is implicated in immune response after acute brain injury. We strived to identify serum soluble SRA (sSRA) as a potential biomarker of prognosis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS In this prospective observational study, we quantified serum sSRA levels of 131 aSAH patients and 131 healthy controls. A poor outcome was defined as extended Glasgow outcome scale (GOSE) scores of 1-4 at 90 days after injury. Relations of serum sSRA levels to severity, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and poor outcome were assessed using multivariate analysis. Predictive efficiency was determined via area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). RESULTS Serum sSRA levels were markedly higher in aSAH patients than in controls (median, 2.9 ng/mL versus 1.0 ng/mL; P < 0.001). Serum sSRA levels were independently correlated with Hunt-Hess scores (beta, 0.569; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.244-0.894; P = 0.001), modified Fisher scores (beta, 0.664; 95% CI, 0.254-1.074; P = 0.002) and 90-day GOSE scores (beta, -0.275; 95% CI, -0.440-0.110; P = 0.005). Serum sSRA levels independently predicted DCI (odds ratio, 1.305; 95% CI, 1.012-1.687; P = 0.040) and a poor outcome (odds ratio, 2.444; 95% CI, 1.264-4.726; P = 0.008), as well as showed significant accuracy for the discrimination of DCI (AUC, 0.753; 95% CI, 0.649-0.857; P < 0.001) and a poor outcome (AUC, 0.800; 95% CI, 0.721-0.880; P < 0.001). Its combination with Hunt-Hess scores and modified Fisher scores displayed significantly improved AUCs for predicting DCI and poor outcome, as compared to any of them (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION There is a significant elevation of serum sSRA levels after aSAH, which in close correlation with illness severity, are independently associated with DCI and poor clinical outcome after aSAH. Hypothetically, SRA may regulate immune response in acute brain injury after aSAH and serum sSRA is presumed to be a potential prognostic biomarker of aSAH.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with acute and delayed cerebral ischemia. We suggested spasms of pial arterioles as a possible mechanism; however, it remained unclear whether and how pial microvasospasms (MVSs) induce cerebral ischemia. Therefore, we used in vivo deep tissue imaging by two-photon microscopy to investigate MVSs together with the intraparenchymal microcirculation in a clinically relevant murine SAH model. Male C57BL/6 mice received a cranial window. Cerebral vessels and leukocytes were labelled with fluorescent dyes and imaged by in vivo two-photon microscopy before and three hours after SAH induced by filament perforation. After SAH, a large clot formed around the perforation site at the skull base, and blood distributed along the perivascular space of the middle cerebral artery up to the cerebral cortex. Comparing the cerebral microvasculature before and after SAH, we identified three different patterns of constrictions: pearl string, global, and bottleneck. At the same time, the volume of perfused intraparenchymal vessels and blood flow velocity in individual arterioles were significantly reduced by more than 60%. Plugging of capillaries by leukocytes was observed but infrequent. The current study demonstrates that perivascular blood is associated with spasms of pial arterioles and that these spasms result in a significant reduction in cortical perfusion after SAH. Thus, the pial microvasospasm seems to be an important mechanism by which blood in the subarachnoid space triggers cerebral ischemia after SAH. Identifying the mechanisms of pial vasospasm may therefore result in novel therapeutic options for SAH patients.

Abstract
Activation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate receptor (AMPAR) is thought to cause acute brain injury, but the role remains poorly understood in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study was conducted to evaluate if AMPAR activation induces acute blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after SAH. C57BL/6 male adult mice (n = 117) underwent sham or filament perforation SAH modeling, followed by a random intraperitoneal injection of vehicle or two dosages (1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg) of a selective noncompetitive AMPAR antagonist perampanel (PER) at 30 min post-modeling. The effects were evaluated by mortality, neurological scores, and brain water content at 24-48 h and video electroencephalogram monitoring, immunostaining, and Western blotting at 24 h post-SAH. PER significantly suppressed post-SAH neurological impairments, brain edema, and BBB disruption. SAH developed epileptiform spikes without obvious convulsion, which were also inhibited by PER. Western blotting showed that the expression of AMPAR subunits GluA1 and GluA2 was unchanged after SAH, but they were significantly activated after SAH. PER prevented post-SAH activation of GluA1/2, associated with the suppression of post-SAH induction of tenascin-C, a causative mediator of post-SAH BBB disruption. Meanwhile, an intracerebroventricular injection of a subtype-selective GluA1/2 agonist augmented the activation of GluA1/2 and the induction of tenascin-C in brain capillary endothelial cells and aggravated post-SAH BBB disruption without increases in epileptiform spikes. Neurological impairments and brain edema were not correlated with the occurrence of epileptiform spikes. This study first showed that AMPAR plays an important role in the development of post-SAH BBB disruption and can be a novel therapeutic target against it.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains a life-threatening disease, and early brain injury (EBI) is an important cause of poor outcomes. The authors have reported that periostin, a matricellular protein, is one of key factors of post-SAH EBI. Clarithromycin (CAM) is a worldwide antibiotic that can inhibit periostin expression. This study aimed to investigate whether CAM suppressed EBI after experimental SAH, focusing on blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, an important pathology of EBI. C57BL/6 male adult mice underwent endovascular perforation SAH modeling (n = 139) or sham operation (n = 30). Different dosages (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg) of CAM or the vehicle (n = 16, 52, 13, and 58, respectively) were randomly administered by an intramuscular injection 5 min after SAH induction. Post-SAH 50 mg/kg CAM treatment most effectively improved neurological scores and brain water content at 24 and 48 h and reduced immunoglobulin G extravasation at 24 h compared with vehicle-treated SAH mice (p < 0.01). Western blotting showed that post-SAH BBB disruption was associated with increased expressions of periostin, phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 and 3, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and the consequent degradation of zonula occludens-1, which were suppressed by 50 mg/kg CAM treatment (p < 0.05, respectively, versus vehicle-treated SAH mice). Periostin and its related molecules were upregulated in capillary endothelial cells and neurons after SAH. An intracerebroventricular injection of recombinant periostin blocked the neuroprotective effects of CAM in SAH mice (n = 6, respectively; p < 0.05). In conclusion, this study first demonstrated that CAM improved post-SAH EBI in terms of BBB disruption at least partly via the suppression of periostin-related pathways.

[PMID: 34194387 PMCID: PMC8236540 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.690183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a common complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and can lead to infarction and poor clinical outcome. The underlying mechanisms are still incompletely understood, but animal models indicate that vasoactive metabolites and inflammatory cytokines produced within the subarachnoid space may progressively impair and partially invert neurovascular coupling (NVC) in the brain. Because cerebral and retinal microvasculature are governed by comparable regulatory mechanisms and may be connected by perivascular pathways, retinal vascular changes are increasingly recognized as a potential surrogate for altered NVC in the brain. Here, we used non-invasive retinal vessel analysis (RVA) to assess microvascular function in aSAH patients at different times after the ictus. Methods: Static and dynamic RVA were performed using a Retinal Vessel Analyzer (IMEDOS Systems GmbH, Jena) in 70 aSAH patients during the early (d0-4), critical (d5-15), late (d16-23) phase, and at follow-up (f/u > 6 weeks) after the ictus. For comparison, an age-matched cohort of 42 healthy subjects was also included in the study. Vessel diameters were quantified in terms of the central retinal arterial and venous equivalent (CRAE, CRVE) and the retinal arterio-venous-ratio (AVR). Vessel responses to flicker light excitation (FLE) were quantified by recording the maximum arterial and venous dilation (MAD, MVD), the time to 30% and 100% of maximum dilation (tMAD30, tMVD30; tMAD, tMVD, resp.), and the arterial and venous area under the curve (AUCart, AUCven) during the FLE. For subgroup analyses, patients were stratified according to the development of DCI and clinical outcomes after 12 months. Results: Vessel diameter (CRAE, CRVE) was significantly smaller in aSAH patients and showed little change throughout the whole observation period (p < 0.0001 vs. control for all time periods examined). In addition, aSAH patients exhibited impaired arterial but not venous responses to FLE, as reflected in a significantly lower MAD [2.2 (1.0-3.2)% vs. 3.6 (2.6-5.6)% in control subjects, p = 0.0016] and AUCart [21.5 (9.4-35.8)%*s vs. 51.4 (32.5-69.7)%*s in control subjects, p = 0.0001] on d0-4. However, gradual recovery was observed during the first 3 weeks, with close to normal levels at follow-up, when MAD and AUCart amounted to 3.0 [2.0-5.0]% (p = 0.141 vs. control, p = 0.0321 vs. d5-15) and 44.5 [23.2-61.1]%*s (p = 0.138 vs. control, p < 0.01 vs. d0-4 & d5-15). Finally, patients with clinical deterioration (DCI) showed opposite changes in the kinetics of arterial responses during early and late phase, as reflected in a significantly lower tMAD30 on d0-4 [4.0 (3.0-6.8) s vs. 7.0 (5.0-8.0) s in patients without DCI, p = 0.022) and a significantly higher tMAD on d16-23 (24.0 (21.0-29.3) s vs. 18.0 (14.0-21.0) s in patients without DCI, p = 0.017]. Conclusion: Our findings confirm and extend previous observations that aSAH results in sustained impairments of NVC in the retina. DCI may be associated with characteristic changes in the kinetics of retinal arterial responses. However, further studies will be required to determine their clinical implications and to assess if they can be used to identify patients at risk of developing DCI.

[PMID: 34168571 PMCID: PMC8218876 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.688468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common form of hemorrhagic stroke associated with high rates of mortality and severe disability. SAH patients often develop severe neurological deficits days after ictus, events attributed to a phenomenon referred to as delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Recent studies indicate that SAH-induced DCI results from a multitude of cerebral circulatory disturbances including cerebral autoregulation malfunction. Cerebral autoregulation incorporates the influence of blood pressure (BP) on arterial diameter in the homeostatic regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), which is necessary for maintaining constant brain perfusion during physiological swings in systemic BP. In this study, we quantitatively examined the impact of SAH on cerebral autoregulation using a mouse endovascular perforation model and a newly developed approach combining absolute and relative CBF measurements. This method enables a direct quantitative comparison of cerebral autoregulation between individual animals (e.g., SAH vs. control or sham-operated mice), which cannot be done solely using relative CBF changes by laser Doppler flowmetry. Here, absolute CBF was measured via injection of fluorescent microspheres at a baseline BP. In separate groups of animals, in vivo laser Doppler flowmetry was used to measure relative CBF changes over a range of BP using phlebotomy and the pressor phenylephrine to lower and raise BP, respectively. Absolute CBF measurements from microspheres were then used to calibrate laser Doppler measurements to calculate the relationship between CBF and BP, i.e., “cerebral autoregulation curves.” Un-operated and sham-operated groups exhibited similar cerebral autoregulatory curves, showing comparable levels of relatively constant CBF over a range of BP from ~80 mmHg to ~130 mmHg. In contrast, SAH animals exhibited a narrower autoregulatory range of BP, which was primarily due to a decrease in the upper limit of BP whereby cerebral autoregulation was maintained. Importantly, SAH animals also exhibited a marked decrease in CBF throughout the entire range of BP. In sum, this study provides evidence of the dramatic reduction in cortical CBF and the diminished range of autoregulation after SAH. Furthermore, this novel methodology should pave the way for future studies examining pathological mechanisms and/or therapeutic strategies targeting impaired cerebral autoregulation, a pathology common to many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders.
