Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:11553. [PMID: 37511310 PMCID: PMC10380515 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241411553] [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: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
As an essential constituent of the mitochondrial contact site and cristae organization system (MICOS), MIC19 plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of mitochondrial function and microstructure. However, the mechanisms and functions of MIC19 in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remain unknown and need to be investigated. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats injected with autologous blood obtained from the caudal artery, and cultured neurons exposed to oxygen hemoglobin (OxyHb) were used to establish and emulate the ICH model in vivo and in vitro. Lentiviral vector encoding MIC19 or MIC19 short hairpin ribonucleic acid (shRNA) was constructed and administered to rats by intracerebroventricular injection to overexpress or knock down MIC19, respectively. First, MIC19 protein levels were increased after ICH modeling. After virus transfection and subsequent ICH modeling, we observed that overexpression of MIC19 could mitigate cell apoptosis and neuronal death, as well as abnormalities in mitochondrial structure and function, oxidative stress within mitochondria, and neurobehavioral deficits in rats following ICH. Conversely, knockdown of MIC19 had the opposite effect. Moreover, we found that the connection between MIC19 and SAM50 was disrupted after ICH, which may be a reason for the impairment of the mitochondrial structure after ICH. In conclusion, MIC19 exerts a protective role in the subsequent injury induced by ICH. The investigation of MIC19 may offer clinicians novel therapeutic insights for patients afflicted with ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article reviews the neurologic complications encountered in patients admitted to non-neurologic intensive care units, outlines various scenarios in which a neurologic consultation can add to the diagnosis or management of a critically ill patient, and provides advice on the best diagnostic approach in the evaluation of these patients. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS Increasing recognition of neurologic complications and their adverse impact on long-term outcomes has led to increased neurology involvement in non-neurologic intensive care units. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of having a structured clinical approach to neurologic complications of critical illness as well as the critical care management of patients with chronic neurologic disabilities. ESSENTIAL POINTS Critical illness is often accompanied by neurologic complications. Neurologists need to be aware of the unique needs of critically ill patients, especially the nuances of the neurologic examination, challenges in diagnostic testing, and neuropharmacologic aspects of commonly used medications.

Duan H, Yun HJ, Rajah GB, Che F, Wang Y, Liu J, Tong Y, Cheng Z, Cai L, Geng X, Ding Y. Large vessel occlusion stroke outcomes in diabetic vs. non-diabetic patients with acute stress hyperglycemia. Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1073924. [PMID: 36777640 PMCID: PMC9911880 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1073924] [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: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study assesses whether stress-induced hyperglycemia is a predictor of poor outcome at 3 months for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated by endovascular treatment (EVT) and impacted by their previous blood glucose status. Methods This retrospective study collected data from 576 patients with AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) treated by EVT from March 2019 to June 2022. The sample was composed of 230 and 346 patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM), respectively, based on their premorbid diabetic status. Prognosis was assessed with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3-month after AIS. Poor prognosis was defined as mRS>2. Stress-induced hyperglycemia was assessed by fasting glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin ratio (GAR). Each group was stratified into four groups by quartiles of GAR (Q1-Q4). Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify relationship between different GAR quartiles and clinical outcome after EVT. Results In DM group, a poor prognosis was seen in 122 (53%) patients and GAR level was 1.27 ± 0.44. These variables were higher than non-DM group and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05, respectively). Patients with severe stress-induced hyperglycemia demonstrated greater incidence of 3-month poor prognosis (DM: Q1, 39.7%; Q2, 45.6%; Q3, 58.6%; Q4, 68.4%; p = 0.009. Non-DM: Q1, 31%; Q2, 32.6%; Q3, 42.5%; Q4, 64%; p < 0.001). However, the highest quartile of GAR was independently associated with poor prognosis at 3 months (OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.66-6.96, p = 0.001), compared to the lowest quartile in non-DM patients after logistic regression. This association was not observed from DM patients. Conclusion The outcome of patients with acute LVO stroke treated with EVT appears to be influenced by premorbid diabetes status. However, the poor prognosis at 3-month in patients with DM is not independently correlated with stress-induced hyperglycemia. This could be due to the long-term damage of persistent hyperglycemia and diabetic patients' adaptive response to stress following acute ischemic damage to the brain.

Triage Nurse-Activated Emergency Evaluation Reduced Door-to-Needle Time in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Intravenous Thrombolysis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:9199856. [PMID: 35280509 PMCID: PMC8913070 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9199856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Methods This was a retrospective analysis in a general hospital emergency department in Beijing, China. 212 adult AIS patients treated with thrombolysis who failed to use EMSs were included. In addition to DNT, door-to-vein open time (DVT), door-to-blood sample deliver time (DBT), and 7-day NIHSS scores were evaluated. Results 137 (64.6%) patients were in the triage nurse-activated group and 75 (35.4%) patients were in the doctor-activated group. The DNT of the triage nurse-activated group was significantly reduced compared with the doctor-activated group (28 (26, 32.5) min vs. 30 (28, 40) min, p=0.001). DNT less than 45 min was seen in 95.6% of patients in the triage nurse-activated group and 84% of patients in the doctor-activated group (p=0.011, OR 3.972, 95% CI 1.375–11.477). In addition, DVT (7 (4, 10) min vs. 8 (5, 12) min, P=0.025) and DBT (15 (13, 21) min vs. 19 (15, 26) min, p=0.001) of the triage nurse-activated group were also shorter than those of the doctor-activated group (p < 0.05). The 7-day NIHSS scores were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusions Triage nurse-activated urgent emergency evaluation could reduce the door-to-needle time, which provides a feasible opportunity to optimize the emergency department service for AIS patients who failed to use emergency medical services.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of pretreatment with Antiplatelet (AP) before IV thrombolysis (IVT) on the rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and functional outcome in patients with Acute Ischemic stroke (AIS). METHOD In this retrospective study, the medical records and cerebrovascular images of all the patients who received IVT for AIS in our center in a 9.6-year period were reviewed. Patients who took at least one dose of any APs in the last 24 h prior to IVT were identified. They were categorized according to the type of AP, single versus dual AP therapy (DAPT), and dose of AP. Rate of sICH and functional outcome at discharge were compared between the AP users and non-users. RESULTS A total of 834 patients received IVT for AIS in our center during a 9.6- year period. Multivariate models were adjusted for age, NIHSS on admission, history of atrial fibrillation, history of hypertension, INR on admission, history of stroke and diabetes mellitus. In multivariate regression analyses and after adjusting for the variables mentioned above, the use of any AP was not associated with an increased rate of sICH (OR = 1.28 [0.70-2.34], p = 0.425). Furthermore, the use of DAPT did not significantly increase the rate of sICH in multivariate regression analyses. (OR = 0.663 [0.15-2.84], p = 0.580). The patients on any AP had a lower chance of having good functional outcome in univariate analysis (OR = 0.735 [0.552-0.979], p = 0.035). However, when adjusted for age, baseline NIHSS, history of diabetes, hypertension and prior stroke, AP use was not associated with a decreased chance of having a good functional outcome at discharge. (OR = 0.967 [0.690-1.357], p = 0.848). In addition, no significant difference was noted in the rate of good functional outcome between patients on DAPT and no AP users in multivariate regression analyses. (OR = 1.174 [0.612-2.253], p = 0.629). CONCLUSION Our study did not show any significant association between the risk of sICH and good functional outcome after IVT for AIS patients on AP therapy (dual or single) in comparison with AP naïve patients.

Yuan M, Li Q, Zhang R, Zhang W, Zou N, Qin X, Cai Z. Risk factors for and impact of poststroke pneumonia in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e25213. [PMID: 33761707 PMCID: PMC9282100 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000025213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Poststroke pneumonia (PSP) is a common complication of stroke and an important cause of death following stroke. However, the treatment of PSP remains inadequate due to severe impairment to the respiratory system by PSP. Thus, it is crucial to focus on preventing PSP to improve the prognosis of patients with stroke.This prospective single-center Cohort study aimed to investigate the risk factors for pulmonary infection following an ischemic stroke and identify whether PSP significantly influences the prognosis of patients after stroke.Altogether, 451 patients who were treated for acute ischemic stroke in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in China between April 2017 and April 2018 were enrolled. Clinical data from the patients from admission to 3 months after discharge were collected. PSP was the primary outcome and poor prognosis or death at 3 months following discharge was the secondary outcome observed in this study. We performed logistic regression analyses to identify the risk factors for PSP and test an association between pneumonia and poor prognosis or death after stroke.Our findings revealed the following risk factors for PSP: atrial fibrillation odds ratio (OR) = 2.884, 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 1.316-6.322), being bedridden (OR = 2.797, 95%CI = 1.322-5.921), subject to an invasive procedure (OR = 12.838, 95%CI = 6.296-26.178), massive cerebral infarction (OR = 3.994, 95%CI = 1.496-10.666), and dysphagia (OR = 2.441, 95%CI = 1.114-5.351). Pneumonia was a risk factor for poor prognosis (OR = 2.967, 95%CI = 1.273-6.915) and death (OR = 5.493, 95%CI = 1.825-16.53) after stroke.Hence, since pneumonia increases the risk of poor prognosis and death following acute ischemic stroke, preventing, and managing the risk factors for PSP may improve the prognosis and reduce the mortality after stroke.
