Abstract
BACKGROUND Yi-Qi-Huo-Xue Decoction (YQHXD), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, has demonstrated efficacy in the clinical treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) for over a decade. Nevertheless, the precise pharmacotherapeutic compounds of YQHXD capable of penetrating into cerebral tissue and the pharmacological underpinnings of YQHXD remain ambiguous. METHODS The active components of YQHXD in rat brains was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The potential targets, pathways and biological progresses of YQHXD ameliorating ICH induced injury was predicted by network pharmacology. Moreover, collagenase-induced ICH rat model, primary cortex neurons exposed to hemin and molecular docking were applied to validate the molecular mechanisms of YQHXD. RESULTS Eleven active components of YQHXD were identified within the brains. Employing the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases, our investigation concentrated on the roles of autophagy and the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway in the pharmacological context. The pharmacological results revealed that YQHXD alleviated neurological dysfunction, brain water content, brain swelling, and pathological injury caused by ICH. Meanwhile, YQHXD inhibited autophagy influx and autophagosome in vivo, and regulated cortex neuronal autophagy and TrkB/BDNF pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Subsequently, N-acetyl serotonin (NAS), a selective TrkB agonist, was employed to corroborate the significance of the BDNF/TrkB pathway in this process. The combination of NAS and YQHXD did not further enhance the protective efficacy of YQHXD in ICH rats. Additionally, outcomes of molecular docking analysis revealed that nine compounds of YQHXD exhibited potential regulatory effects on TrkB. CONCLUSIONS Ipsilateral neuronal autophagy and BDNF/TrkB pathway were activated 72 h after ICH. YQHXD effectively resisted injury induced by ICH, which was related with suppression of ipsilateral neuronal autophagy via BDNF/TrkB pathway. This study provides novel insights into the therapeutic mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the context of ICH treatment.

Abstract
Background Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a strong independent predictor of poor outcomes. Although the location and volume of ICH are associated with IVH, our knowledge concerning the mechanism of IVH after ICH is still limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hematoma morphology and IVH in patients with supratentorial deep ICH. Methods We retrospectively analyzed adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with spontaneous supratentorial deep ICH who underwent computed tomography (CT) within 48 h after ICH symptom onset in Peking University First Hospital between January 2017 and August 2022. We collected the clinical and imaging data of the patients and assessed hematoma morphology using several quantitative radiological parameters including hematoma volume, sphericity index, A/B ratio (A: the largest area of hematoma; B: the largest diameter 90° to A on the same slice), and our newly proposed largest diameter-midline angle (LMA). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between these parameters and the presence of IVH on the initial CT scan. Results Among 114 patients with spontaneous supratentorial deep ICH, 41 (36.0%) had IVH. In patients with IVH, the sphericity index was lower than that in individuals without IVH, while the LMA was larger. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sphericity index [0.1-unit odds ratio (OR) =0.252; 95% CI: 0.089-0.709; P=0.009] and the LMA (10-unit OR =1.281; 95% CI: 1.007-1.630; P=0.04) were independently associated with the presence of IVH in patients with supratentorial deep ICH. Univariate analyses showed that hematoma volume, A/B ratio, sphericity index, and the LMA were significantly associated with poor outcomes at discharge. Conclusions Two quantitative parameters of hematoma morphology, sphericity index and the LMA, were significantly associated with the presence of IVH in patients with supratentorial deep ICH. Further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate our results.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most lethal type of stroke, and effective clinical therapies that can speed up hematoma resolution after ICH are still lacking. While the beneficial effects of IL-10 on ICH recovery have been demonstrated, the clinical translation of IL-10 requires effective delivery methods by which sufficient IL-10 can be delivered to ICH-affected regions in the brain. Here we report the use of a phosphatidylserine (PS) liposome (PSL)-based nanoparticle system for microglia/macrophage-targeted delivery of IL-10 in ICH. We first prepared IL-10-conjugated PSL (PSL-IL10) and characterized their immunomodulating effects in vitro. Then we evaluated the therapeutic effects, including hematoma absorption, short-term outcomes, and neuroinflammation, of intranasally administered PSL-IL10 (3 μg IL-10 per mouse, 2 h post-ICH) in a collagenase-induced ICH mouse model. We also isolated microglia/macrophages from the mouse brains with ICH to analyze their morphology, phagocytosis ability, and polarization. Our study reveals that, 1) PSL-IL10 treatment resulted in significantly improved outcomes and accelerated hematoma resolution in the acute phase of ICH; 2) PSL-IL10 inhibited glial activation and down-regulated pro-inflammatory cytokine production; 3) PSL-IL10 induced Iba1+ cells with a stronger phagocytosis ability; 4) PSL-IL10 activated STAT3 and upregulated CD36 expression in microglia/macrophage. These findings collectively show that PSL-IL10 is a promising nanotherapeutic for effectively ameliorating ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor immune-nutritional status has been associated with an unfavorable outcome in critical illness. The Osaka prognostic score (OPS) and the Naples prognostic score (NPS), based on inflammatory and nutritional status, has been shown to predict prognosis following cancer and other diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the OPS and NPS and the short-term outcomes of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients hospitalized with spontaneous ICH (n = 340) at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between August 2016 and August 2021. Inclusion criteria included patients aged between 18 and 70, and if a blood sample was taken for laboratory testing within 24 h of admission (serum C-reactive protein, albumin, total cholesterol, and counts for neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes were collected on admission). Exclusion criteria included a non-spontaneous cause of ICH and patient death during hospitalization. Patients were divided into four groups based on OPS or five groups according to NPS. Outcomes were evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at six months post-ICH hospitalization. An unfavorable outcome was defined as a mRS score ≥ 3. RESULTS A total of 289 patients met our inclusion criteria. The unfavorable outcome group had older age, a lower Glasgow Coma Scale score, a higher rate of complications and cerebral herniation, a longer hospital stay, and higher OPS and NPS when compared with the favorable outcome group. Univariate analysis showed that both OPS and NPS were strongly correlated with mRS (r = 0.196,P < 0.001; r = 0.244, P = 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis further showed that OPS and NPS were both independent predictors of unfavorable outcomes for patients with ICH with adjusted odds ratios of 1.802 (95% confidence interval [CI]:1.140-2.847, P = 0.012) and 1.702 (95% CI: 1.225-2.635, P = 0.02), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of NPS for predicting a poor outcome was 0.732 (95% CI: 0.665-0.799), which was similar to the AUC of OPS 0.724 (95% CI: 0.657-0.792). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort, a higher OPS and NPS on admission was associated with poor outcome at six months following ICH, supporting their potential role as markers for predicting the outcome of patients with ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chinese medicine usually acts as "multi-ingredients, multi-targets and multi-pathways" on complex diseases, and these action modes reflect the coordination and integrity of the treatment process with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). System pharmacology is developed based on the cross-disciplines of directional pharmacology, system biology, and mathematics, has the characteristics of integrity and synergy in the treatment process of TCM. Therefore, it is suitable for analyzing the key ingredients and mechanisms of TCM in treating complex diseases. Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is one of the leading causes of death in China, with the characteristics of high mortality and disability rate. Bring a significant burden on people and society. An increasing number of studies have shown that Chinese medicine prescriptions have good advantages in the treatment of ICH, and Ditan Decoction (DTT) is one of the commonly used prescriptions in the treatment of ICH. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that DTT may play a therapeutic role in treating ICH by inhibiting brain inflammation, abnormal oxidative stress reaction and reducing neurological damage, but the specific key ingredients and mechanism are still unclear. METHODS To solve this problem, we established PPI network based on the latest pathogenic gene data of ICH, and CT network based on ingredient and target data of DTT. Subsequently, we established optimization space based on PPI network and CT network, and constructed a new model for node importance calculation, and proposed a calculation method for PES score, thus calculating the functional core ingredients group (FCIG). These core functional groups may represent DTT therapy for ICH. RESULTS Based on the strategy, 44 ingredients were predicted as FCIG, results showed that 80.44% of the FCIG targets enriched pathways were coincided with the enriched pathways of pathogenic genes. Both the literature and molecular docking results confirm the therapeutic effect of FCIG on ICH via targeting MAPK signaling pathway and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS The FCIG obtained by our network pharmacology method can represent the effect of DTT in treating ICH. These results confirmed that our strategy of active ingredient group optimization and the mechanism inference could provide methodological reference for optimization and secondary development of TCM.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 is a novel betacoronavirus with a new genome sequence that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which primarily affects the lungs, thus causing pneumonia which can progress to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. New emerging cases of extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19 include gastrointestinal, cardiac, renal, and/or central nervous system involvement. Although an ischemic stroke converting to a hemorrhagic stroke is more commonly seen, spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients is on the rise. This case report describes a 23-year-old female who tested positive (via a polymerase chain reaction test) for COVID-19 and presented with new onset of severe intractable headache. The investigation suggested COVID-19 as the most probable cause of this patients' spontaneous ICH. This case emphasizes the importance of adding COVID-19 to the differential diagnosis of hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accidents in patients with a spontaneous ICH of unclear etiology and, in the process, performing COVID testing.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) refers to hemorrhage caused by non-traumatic vascular rupture in the brain parenchyma, which is characterized by acute onset, severe illness, and high mortality and disability. The influx of blood into the brain tissue after cerebrovascular rupture causes severe brain damage, including primary injury caused by persistent hemorrhage and secondary brain injury (SBI) induced by hematoma. The mechanism of brain injury is complicated and is a significant cause of disability after ICH. Therefore, it is essential to understand the mechanism of brain injury after ICH to develop drugs to prevent and treat ICH. Studies have confirmed that many traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) can reduce brain injury by improving neurotoxicity, inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), blood-brain barrier (BBB), apoptosis, and neurological dysfunction after ICH. Starting from the pathophysiological process of brain injury after ICH, this paper summarizes the mechanisms by which TCM improves cerebral injury after ICH and its comparison with conventional western medicine, so as to provide clues and a reference for the clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of hemorrhagic stroke and further research and development of new drugs.

Abstract
Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Oxidative stress and inflammation are important pathological mechanisms of secondary brain injury (SBI) after ICH. Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein 1 (BMAL1), which forms the core component of the circadian clock, was previously shown to be involved in many diseases and to participate in oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. However, the role of BMAL1 in SBI following ICH is unknown. In addition, treatments targeting miR-155 and its downstream signaling pathway may exert a beneficial effect on SBI after ICH, while miR-155 may regulate Bmal1 mRNA stability and translation. Nevertheless, researchers have not clearly determined whetheantagomir-155 upregulates BMAL1 expression and subsequently attenuates ICH-induced brain injury in rats. Methods After establishing an ICH rat model by injecting autologous blood, the time course of changes in levels of the BMAL1 protein after ICH was analyzed. Subsequently, this study was designed to investigate the potential role and mechanisms of BMAL1 in SBI following ICH using lentiviral overexpression and antagomir-155 treatments. Results BMAL1 protein levels were significantly decreased in the ICH group compared to the sham group. Genetic overexpression of BMAL1 alleviated oxidative stress, inflammation, brain edema, blood-brain barrier injury, neuronal death, and neurological dysfunction induced by ICH. On the other hand, we observed that inhibiting miRNA-155 using antagomir-155 promoted the expression of BMAL1 and further activated the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway to attenuate brain injury after ICH. Conclusions These results reveal that BMAL1 serves as a neuroprotective agent in ICH and upregulation of BMAL1 attenuates ICH-induced SBI. Therefore, BMAL1 may be a promising therapeutic target for SBI following ICH.

Abstract
Phillyrin, a natural plant extract, has significant antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects. However, its effect on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated a potential role for phillyrin in the regulation of the oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by ICH. A model of ICH was induced by collagenase IV (0.2 U in 1 μl sterile normal saline) in male C57BL/6J (B6) mice and different doses of phillyrin (5, 15, or 30 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected at 30 min, 6 h, and 22 h after modeling. We found that phillyrin significantly reduced neural function and lesion volume, improved injury of white and grey matter around the lesion, decreased apoptosis and oxidative stress, increased the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase 1(HO-1), NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and Superoxide Dismutase-1(SOD-1) in vitro and in vivo, and protected neurons from the stimulation of hemin by promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Treatment with ML385 (Nrf2 inhibitor) completely reversed the protective effects of phillyrin in vivo after ICH injury. Based on our findings, we conclude that phillyrin treatment alleviates ICH injury-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress via activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway, highlighting a potential role for phillyrin as an ICH therapeutic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Clinicians working in intensive care frequently report perceptions of inappropriate care (PIC) situations. Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. Prognosticating after ICH is complex and may be influenced by clinicians' subjective impressions and biases, which may, in turn, influence decision making regarding the level of care provided. The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore perceptions of neurocritical care in relation to the expected functional outcome for ICH patients. DESIGN Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with neurocritical care doctors and nurses. SETTING Neurocritical care (NCC) department in a UK neuroscience tertiary referral center. SUBJECTS Eleven neurocritical care nurses, five consultant neurointensivists, two stroke physicians, three neurosurgeons. INTERVENTION None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We conducted 21 semi-structured interviews and identified five key themes: (1) prognostic uncertainty (2) subjectivity of good versus poor outcome (3) perceived inappropriate care (PIC) situations (including for frail elderly patients) (4) challenging nature of decision-making (5) clinician distress. CONCLUSIONS Caring for severely affected ICH patients in need of neurocritical care is challenging, particularly with frail elderly patients. Awareness of the challenges could facilitate interventions to improve decision-making for this group of stroke patients and their families, as well as measures to reduce the distress on clinicians who care for this patient group. Our findings highlight the need for effective interdisciplinary shared decision making involving the family, taking into account patients' previously expressed values and preferences and incorporating these into bespoke care planning.

Abstract
Isorhynchophylline (IRN), a component of traditional Chinese herb Uncaria rhynchophylla, possesses strong antioxidant activity. Ferroptosis induced by iron overload causes cell oxidative stress after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of IRN on the ferroptosis following ICH. In this study, mouse hippocampal HT-22 cells were treated with ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) alone or together with IRN, and we found IRN reduced the FAC-induced cell damage. Then, cells were treated with IRN following treatment with FAC after transfection with miR-122-5p inhibitor, and the results showed IRN reduced the FAC-induced decrease of miR-122-5p levels and relieved the ferroptosis by detecting ferroptotic marker proteins, iron ion concentration and oxidative stress level; after transfection with miR-122-5p inhibitor, the protective effects of IRN against FAC-induced ferroptosis in these cells were weakened. TP53 (also known as p53) was verified as a target of miR-122-5p by using dual luciferase reporter assay, and restoration of TP53 attenuated the effects of miR-122-5p on ferroptotic marker proteins expression, iron ion concentration and lipid ROS levels, as well as solute carrier family seven member 11 (SLC7A11) mRNA expression. SLC7A11 siRNA reversed the inhibitory effects of IRN on FAC-induced ferroptosis and oxidative stress levels. Subsequently, IRN increased the mNSS score, and decreased brain water content and EB content in ICH model. Moreover, IRN decreased ferroptosis and lipid ROS level, upregulated the expression of miR-122-5p and SLC7A11 mRNA, and inhibited TP53 expression. Our findings reveal that IRN protects neurocyte from ICH-induced ferroptosis via miR-122-5p/TP53/SLC7A11 pathway, which may provide a potential therapeutic mechanism for ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE) procedure was recently tested in a large phase III randomized trial showing a significant probability of functional benefit in those cases that reached the goal hematoma evacuation of ≤15 mL residual (or ≥70% removal). Benefit of thrombolysis was also identified in cases with large intraventricular hemorrhage, and achieving at least 85% volume reduction in the Evaluating Accelerated Resolution of Intraventricular Hemorrhage (CLEAR) III trial. OBJECTIVE To protocolize steps in the MISTIE and CLEAR procedures in order to maximize hematoma evacuation and minimize complications. METHODS We articulate data-driven lessons and expert opinions surrounding the factors of patient selection, catheter placement, and dosing, which impacted safety and surgical performance in the MISTIE and CLEAR trials. RESULTS Modifiable factors to maximize evacuation efficiency include optimizing catheter placement and pursuing aggressive dosing to achieve treatment goals, while strictly adhering to the safety steps as articulated in the respective trials. Prognostic factors that are viewed as nonmodifiable include greater initial intracerebral hemorrhage volume with irregular shape, smaller intraventricular bleeds, and the uncommon but consequential development of new bleeding during the dosing period despite strict protocol adherence. CONCLUSIONS Surgeon education in this tutorial is aimed at maximizing the benefit of the MISTIE and CLEAR procedures by reviewing case selection, safety steps, treatment objectives, and technical nuances. Key lessons include stability imaging, etiology screening, and technical adherence to the protocol in order to achieve defined thresholds of evacuation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether spectral detector CT (SDCT) with a plain non-enhanced monochromatic CT, a water-weighted image after iodine removal, an iodine map, and Mono energetic images changes the diagnosis and classification of intracranial hemorrhage based on single energy CT after endovascular treatment (EVT) for ischemic stroke. METHODS Two readers evaluated single energy and SD CT data collected from 63 patients within one week after EVT. They diagnosed ICH or contrast staining, and graded ICH according to the Heidelberg and Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-Monitoring Study (SITS-MOST) classification. Differences in diagnosis between single energy and SD CT were tested with Pearson's chi-squared test. Diagnostic values of single energy CT were calculated. Interrater agreement was based on Cohen's Kappa. RESULTS When spectral data were added to single energy CT, the diagnosis of ICH changed in 8 CT scans (13%): in 4, the diagnosis of ICH was rejected and in 4, initially undetected ICH was diagnosed. In an additional 3 patients, the ICH grade was modified. CT alone had 88% sensitivity, 87% specificity, 88% positive diagnostic value, 87% negative diagnostic value, and 87% overall accuracy for ICH compared to SDCT. Interreader agreement on the presence of ICH was 0.84 (95% CI 0.51-0.86) for spectral CT and 0.84 (95% CI 0.73-0.97) for single energy CT. CONCLUSION SD CT after endovascular treatment contributes to the distinction between intracranial hemorrhage and contrast staining.

Abstract
Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is an extracellular matrix phosphoprotein that is known to facilitate mineralization of collagen in bone and promote osteoblast/odontoblast differentiation. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is the major pathogenesis in secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of DMP1 in the mouse brain and explore the role of DMP1 in BBB disruption and brain injury in a mouse model of ICH. Mice were subjected to autologous blood injection-induced ICH. Immunofluorescence staining, western blot analysis, neurobehavioral tests, brain water content measurements, Evans blue permeability assay, and transmission electron microscopy were performed. Small interfering RNA targeting DMP1 (DMP1 siRNA) was administered at 72 h prior to ICH. Results showed that DMP1 is expressed extensively in the mouse brain, and is upregulated in the ICH model. Administration of DMP1 siRNA effectively ameliorated BBB disruption, attenuated brain edema, and improved neurological function after ICH. Moreover, the expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin were upregulated, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) was downregulated in the ICH model. DMP1 siRNA administration reversed the expression of ZO-1, occludin, and MMP-9. These results demonstrated that DMP1 upregulation plays an essential role in inducing BBB disruption and brain injury after ICH. The inhibition of DMP1 could be a potential therapeutic strategy for ICH treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Necroptosis-induced neuronal damage after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been documented recently. Previous studies have reported that RIP3 and its complex are recognized as central mediators of necroptosis. In this study, the role of RIP3 in the activation of CaMKII and AIF was investigated. METHODS We induced ICH in C57BL/6 mice by injecting collagenase IV into the basal ganglia. ICH mice were pretreated with the mPTP inhibitor CsA and the CAMKII inhibitor Kn-93, RIP3 siRNA or RIP3 rAAV. Brain edema and neurobehavior were evaluated. The expression of RIP3, p-MLKL, AIF, and CaMKII proteins was evaluated by western blotting, immunofluorescence (IF) and immunoprecipitation (IP). RESULTS Significant increases in RIP3, p-MLKL, CaMKII and AIF expression were observed in ICH mice, and RIP3-AIF colocalized in the nucleus. Overexpression of RIP3 by rAAV upregulated AIF expression in both the cytoplasm and nucleus, while CaMKII expression was increased in the cytoplasm. The interaction of RIP3-AIF and RIP3-CaMKII was detected after ICH injury. These complexes were inhibited by CsA with Kn-93 or RIP3 siRNA pretreatment, which reduced brain edema and neurological deficits. CONCLUSIONS Our findings revealed that ICH induced necroptotic neuronal death through the RIP3-CaMKII complex and the RIP3-AIF signaling pathway. Moreover, blockade of mPTP opening could suppress the pathogenesis of necroptosis.

Abstract
As a selective inhibitor of mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-related protein-1 (Drp1), mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (mdivi-1) can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exert neuroprotection. However, it remains unclear whether mdivi-1 can attenuate intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced secondary brain injury. This study was undertaken to characterize the roles of mdivi-1 in short-term and long-term behavioral outcomes, along with synaptic plasticity changes in mice after ICH. The results indicated mdivi-1 reversed Drp1 translocation and the morphologic changes of mitochondria, as well as ameliorated short-term neurobehavioral deficits, the BBB disruption and brain edema remarkably. In addition, mdivi-1 could rescue ICH-induced motor and memory dysfunctions. Mdivi-1 could also prevent ICH-induced reductions in synaptic proteins (synapsin I, PSD95) and phosphorylated cAMP-response element binding (p-CREB). In vitro, mdivi-1 inhibited hemin-induced hippocampal neuron death and improved neurite outgrowth. In conclusion, we found that mdivi-1 can alleviate short-term and long-term neurological deficits, synaptic dysfunction. These findings demonstrate that mdivi-1 may be beneficial in the treatment of secondary brain injury, synaptic dysfunction and neurological outcomes caused by ICH.

Abstract
Iron has a key role in the activation of the autophagic pathway in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and hepcidin has the ability to reduce brain iron in ICH-rats. We therefore hypothesized that hepcidin might be able to inhibit autophagy by reducing iron in an ICH brain. Here, we investigated the effects of Ad-hepcidin and/or hepcidin peptide on autophagic activities in ICH models in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrated that ad-hepcidin and hepcidin peptide both inhibited hemin-induced increase in LC3-II/LC3-I conversion ratio and reversed the reduction in p62 content in cortical neurons in vitro. We also showed that ad-hepcidin inhibited ICH-induced increase in LC3-II/LC3-I conversion ratio and reversed ICH-induced reduction in p62 content in the brain cortex of rats in vivo. Based on these findings plus previous data on the effects of ad-hepcidin and/or hepcidin peptide on iron contents in ICH models, we suggested that hepcidin-induced inhibition of autophagy might be mediated via reducing iron in hemin-treated neurons in vitro and ICH-rat brain in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a neurosurgical emergency. Combined decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) and minimally invasive parafascicular surgery (MIPS) may provide a practical method of managing subcortical ICH. OBJECTIVE 1) To present a case series of combined DHC-MIPS for the treatment of subcortical-based ICH; 2) to describe technical nuances of DHC-MIPS; and 3) to provide a literature overview of MIPS for ICH. METHODS The following inclusion criteria were used: 1) Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score <3-4; 2) admission within 6 hours of onset; 3) increased intracranial pressure caused by hemorrhage; 4) patient unresponsive to medical management; 5) hemorrhage >30 cm3; 6) subcortical location; and 7) midline shift (mm). Before DHC, sulcal cannulation used the following coordinates: intersection of tragus-frontal bone and midpoint of midpupillary line and midline; coronal suture: 3-4 cm posterior to this point). RESULTS Three patients were selected: a 62-year old woman, a 45-year old woman, and a 36-year-old man. GCS and ICH scores on admission were 7 and 3, 3 and 4, and 3 and 4, respectively. ICH was located in left basal ganglia in patients 1 and 3 and right basal ganglia in patient 2, all with intraventricular extension. ICH volume was 81.7, 68.2, and 42.3 cm3, respectively. The postoperative GCS score was 11, 10, and 6, respectively. There were no intraoperative complications or mortalities. Evacuation was within 15 minutes in all patients. The modified Rankin Scale score was 3, 4, and 5, respectively, with semi-independence in case 1. CONCLUSIONS Combined DHC-MIPS, with the use of craniometric points, can provide a unique and simple surgical option for the management of subcortical ICH.

Abstract
Background For patients hospitalized after acute ischemic stroke (AIS), the preadmission comorbidities, level of consciousness (LOC), age and neurologic deficit (PLAN) score can help to identify those who may have a poor outcome. Implementing the PLAN score in other types of stroke may also have predictive value. Our study aimed to evaluate the PLAN score's prognostic accuracy in predicting 1-year mortality and severe disability after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods We analyzed data found in the China National Stroke Registry (CNSR) of 2,453 hospitalized patients in 132 urban Chinese hospitals, diagnosed with ICH from September 2007 to August 2008. The outcomes analysis included 30-day mortality, modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) of 5-6 at discharge, and 1-year mortality. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed, and we calculated consistency statistics (C statistic). We evaluated the PLAN score performance using area under the curve (AUC) calculations. Results We found that the 30-day mortality was 12.6%, the frequency of a mRS 5-6 at discharge was 20.6%, and 1-year mortality was 21.9%. The PLAN score had good predictive value in 30-day mortality (C statistic, 0.82), death or severe dependence at discharge (0.84), and 1-year mortality (0.82). Conclusions In patients hospitalized for ICH, the 30-day mortality, death or severe dependence at discharge and 1-year mortality can be predicted by the PLAN score. Similarly to patients hospitalized after AIS, the PLAN score can help to identify patients likely to have poor outcomes following hospitalization for ICH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Examine the incidence and predictors of PTSD symptoms in a cohort of patients with ICH. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study uses a prospective cohort of 108 patients with complete follow-up data including a questionnaire regarding stress symptoms (PCL-S: PTSD checklist specific for a stressor) at 3, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS The incidence of novel stress symptoms following ICH was approximately 6.5%. Age was negatively associated with PTSD symptoms with only trend-level significance (3 months: OR = 0.83, p = 0.087; 6 months: OR = 0.70, p = 0.015; 12 months: OR = 0.88, p = 0.087). Gender did not affect PTSD symptom development, (t = 1.34, p = 0.18). Pre-morbid functioning, initial stroke prognosis, total number of complications, and length of hospital/ICU stay were not associated with PTSD symptoms; however, each was significantly correlated with poorer functional outcomes. Yet, poorer functional outcomes were observed in those with higher reports of PTSD symptoms (r = 0.24, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Functional outcomes in ICH are correlated with PTSD symptoms, however the mechanism and relationship are difficult to elucidate. Further research is needed to determine possible mechanisms by which a stroke patient may develop PTSD.

Abstract
N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2), a newly identified astrocytic stress response gene, is involved in the regulation of astrocytic morphology and function, and has been indicated to be a potential therapeutic target for some central nervous system (CNS) diseases. However, the role of NDRG2 in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unknown. Here, we reported that NDRG2 suppression exerted neuroprotection effect against hemorrhagic brain injury in ICH mice and in oxyhemoglobin (OxyHb)-treated cells. Ndrg2 knockout (Ndrg2-/-) mice exhibited reduced hematoma volume and neuronal apoptosis in perihematoma although Ndrg2 deficiency showed little effect on the initial hematoma volume after ICH induction by collagenase injection. Moreover, contrary to the increase in NDRG2 expression after ICH, the expression of glutamate transporter 1 (GLT1) in astrocytes was dramatically decreased in WT (Ndrg2+/+) mice, while which could be more maintained in Ndrg2 knockout mice following ICH. Furthermore, in terms of the mechanism of epigenetic regulation of GLT1 by NDRG2, the results showed that NDRG2 directly interacted with NF-κB, and inhibited the nuclear import and DNA binding activity of the NF-κB p65 subunit after OxyHb treatment in primary astrocytes, decreasing GLT1 transcription and impairing glutamate uptake. Overall, our findings indicate that NDRG2 plays a key role in the pathology of ICH by regulating astrocytic GLT1 expression; thus suppressing NDRG2 may be a potential therapeutic target for ICH.

Abstract
Most intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) survivors have poor long-term outcomes, such as cognitive deficits and depression. Delayed lesions of ICH include neuron loss and white matter injury and the pathology of the lesions involves iron deposition and glial responses, which contribute to depressive-like behavior and cognitive impairment in animals. This study aimed to investigate the effects of FTY720 (0.3 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks) on iron deposition, glial responses, histological abnormalities and behavioral dysfunction in mice with ICH. The primary adverse long-term outcomes in our study of ICH mice were depressive-like behavior and impaired recognition memory. We found that FTY720 safely ameliorated depressive-like behavior and impaired recognition without affecting recovery of grip function and locomotor activity 28 days post-ICH. Moreover, we measured neuron loss, white matter lesions, lesion volume and iron deposition at day 28, which were attenuated in the FTY720-treated group compared to the ICH-control group, without changing initial hematoma volume on day 1 post-ICH. Long-term elevation of glial responses, including microglia activity and astrogliosis with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) expression was demonstrated by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining, which we found was attenuated by FTY720 treatment. Hence, FTY720 could become a novel therapeutic agent for improving long-term outcomes after ICH.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine clinical factors, including established electroencephalography (EEG) consensus recommendations, that may influence EEG-prescription in critically-ill intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients in the neurointensive care unit. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 330 ICH patients admitted to a neurointensive care unit at an academic medical center between 01/2013-12/2015. We compared EEG prescription patterns with current EEG consensus recommendations, and employed univariate and multivariable logistic regression modeling to determine clinical variables associated with EEG ordering. RESULTS Seventy-eight (41%) of 190 subjects underwent EEG in accordance with EEG-consensus guidelines, demonstrating an overall accuracy (probability that EEG prescription aligned with EEG consensus recommendations) of 64.6% (95%-CI59.1-69.7). Factors independently associated with EEG ordering included fulfillment of EEG consensus recommendations, lower admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and presence of clinical seizures. The unadjusted and adjusted C-statistics for fulfillment of consensus recommendations was 0.74 (95%-CI 0.69-0.80) and 0.85 (95%-CI 0.81-0.90), respectively. Among 83 subjects undergoing EEG (25.2%), EEG findings informed clinical decision-making in 50 patients (60%). CONCLUSIONS EEG appeared underused in ICH, since <50% of patients who fulfilled guideline criteria underwent EEG. Prescription of EEG was related to factors beyond those included in consensus recommendations. Validation of our findings and their association with outcome is required.

Abstract
A 17-year-old woman was urgently transported to our hospital due to consciousness disturbance. A blood examination revealed intracerebral hemorrhage, WBC 233,800/l, blasts 93%, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The results of bone-marrow aspiration indicated acute myeloid leukemia (M2 in FAB classification) with t (7;11) (p15;p15) and the resulting chimeric gene NUP98-HOXA9 and with FLT3-ITD. Following hematoma evacuation, induction therapy was initiated and the leukocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid observed in the spinal drainage were monitored. Because they increased on days 5 and 9 after the completion of induction therapy, intrathecal chemotherapy (IT) was performed; this finally contributed to controlling AML in the central nervous system (CNS), together with the restoration of normal hematopoiesis. Subsequently, after complete molecular remission with consolidation therapies containing high-dose cytarabine, a bone-marrow transplantation with a myeloablative regimen was conducted from a 1-allele mismatched sibling donor. Finally, the patient was discharged without major sequela on day 228 after the first visit. The management of CNS disease in AML with intracerebral hemorrhage remains unclear. Our case suggests that IT at the appropriate time based on the monitored number of cerebrospinal fluid leukocytes could be useful in controlling AML in the CNS after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The neuroprotective effects of neuroserpin (NSP) have been well documented in both patients and animal models with cerebral ischemia; however, have never been investigated in hemorrhagic stroke. The aim of this study is to verify the neuroprotection of NSP in the non-tPA-induced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) mouse model. METHODS C57BL/6J male mice (n = 198) were involved in this study. ICH models were established with infusion of autologous blood into the brain parenchyma. We then detected NSP expression in ICH brains by morphological methods and western blotting analysis. We measured the brain water content and detected blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability to verify the neuroprotective effects of NSP. RESULTS We found that NSP protein expression was upregulated in ICH models, with a peak at 48 h after ICH induction. NSP local administration reduced the brain edema and the BBB permeability in ICH models. The neurological deficits were also ameliorated. Thus, the neuroprotection of NSP in ICH state was confirmed. Additionally, we also found that the distribution pattern of occludin-expressing cells was obviously changed by the ICH procedure but partly recovered after NSP administration. This finding indicated that protecting and/or repairing the injured vascular endothelial cells may be a potential mechanism involved in NSP neuroprotection, which needs further verification. CONCLUSIONS Our results supported the fact that NSP may be considered as a potential therapy for ICH for the neuroprotective effects including amelioration of the edema.

Abstract
Stroke causes death or long-term disabilities and threatens the general health of the population worldwide. Recent studies have suggested that miRNAs are dysregulated and can be used as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in stroke. The intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 15% of all the stroke cases. However, at present, little is known regarding the functions and clinical implications of miRNAs in ICH. In the present study, we established the collagenase-induced rat ICH model to mimic human ICH syndrome. We profiled the expression of 728 rat miRNAs at different time points in rat brain tissues and plasma post-ICH and identified a set human brain-enriched miRNAs that had changed expression level in the plasma of rat ICH. Among them, the expression levels of miR-124 displayed significantly synchronous alterations in rat plasma and brain tissue during ICH progression. They were significantly elevated at the acute injury phase (day 1 and 2), gradually decreased during the delayed recovery phase (day 7, 14 and 30), and finally restored to normal levels at late recovery phase (day 60). We further determined the plasma expression profile of miR-124 from human ICH patients. Similar to the pattern observed in rat ICH model, our results indicated that immediately after patients reached the hospital, the average plasma concentrations of miR-124 increased more than 100-fold in 24 h, then decreased gradually on day 2, 7, 14 and to near normal level on day 30. Taken together, these results strongly suggested that plasma concentration of miR-124 is a promising candidate biomarker for the early detection and predictive prognosis of human ICH.

Abstract
Cell-based therapy for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a great therapeutic potential. However, methods to effectively induce direct regeneration of the damaged neural tissue after cell transplantation have not been established, which, if done, would improve the efficacy of cell-based therapy. In this study, we aimed to develop a cell sheet with neurovasculogenic potential and evaluate its usefulness in a canine ICH model. We designed a composite cell sheet made of neural progenitors derived from human olfactory neuroepithelium and vascular progenitors from human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells. We also generated a physiologic canine ICH model by manually injecting and then infusing autologous blood under arterial pressure. We transplanted the sheet cells (cell sheet group) or saline (control group) at the cortex over the hematoma at subacute stages (2 weeks from ICH induction). At 4 weeks from the cell transplantation, cell survival, migration, and differentiation were evaluated. Hemispheric atrophy and neurobehavioral recovery were also compared between the groups. As a result, the cell sheet was rich in extracellular matrices and expressed neurotrophic factors as well as the markers for neuronal development. After transplantation, the cells successfully survived for 4 weeks, and a large portion of those migrated to the perihematomal site and differentiated into neurons and pericytes (20% and 30% of migrated stem cells, respectively). Transplantation of cell sheets alleviated hemorrhage-related hemispheric atrophy (p = 0.042) and showed tendency for improving functional recovery (p = 0.062). Therefore, we concluded that the cell sheet transplantation technique might induce direct regeneration of neural tissue and might improve outcomes of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To analyze whether the computed tomography angiography (CTA) spot sign predicts the intraprocedural rupture rate and outcome in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS From a prospective nationwide multicenter registry database, 1023 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) were analyzed retrospectively. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used to compare spot sign-positive and -negative patients with aneurysmal intracerebral hemorrhage (aICH) for baseline characteristics, aneurysmal and ICH imaging characteristics, treatment and admission status as well as outcome at discharge and 1-year follow-up (1YFU) using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). RESULTS A total of 218 out of 1023 aSAH patients (21%) presented with aICH including 23/218 (11%) patients with spot sign. Baseline characteristics were comparable between spot sign-positive and -negative patients. There was a higher clip-to-coil ratio in patients with than without aICH (both spot sign positive and negative). Median aICH volume was significantly higher in the spot sign-positive group (50 ml, 13-223 ml) than in the spot sign-negative group (18 ml, 1-416; p < 0.0001). Patients with a spot sign-positive aICH thus were three times as likely as those with spot sign-negative aICH to show an intraoperative aneurysm rupture [odds ratio (OR) 3.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-8.92, p = 0.046]. Spot sign-positive aICH patients showed a significantly worse mRS at discharge (p = 0.039) than patients with spot sign-negative aICH (median mRS 5 vs. 4). Logistic regression analysis showed that the spot sign was an aICH volume-dependent predictor for outcome. Both spot sign-positive and -negative aICH patients showed comparable rates of hospital death, death at 1YFU and mRS at 1YFU. CONCLUSION In this multicenter data analysis, patients with spot sign-positive aICH showed higher aICH volumes and a higher rate of intraprocedural aneurysm rupture, but comparable long-term outcome to spot sign-negative aICH patients.

Abstract
Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is still a highlighting global issue. Endoscopic evacuation as a minimally invasive treatment became an alternative other than conventional craniotomy and catheter drainage for ICH. However, there is no unified indication or standardized procedure on endoscopic treatment of ICH. Here we explored the literature and gathered information from different studies, to review the background, technical points, and existing problems of endoscopic treatment for ICH.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor co-activator-1α (PGC-1α) is a transcriptional co-activator that coordinately regulates genes required for mitochondrial biogenesis, which stimulates mitochondrial activity. It is also a major factor in the up-regulation of antioxidant activities that are a response to oxidative stress. However, the role of PGC-1α after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has not been studied. The purpose of the present work was to investigate the effects and mechanism of PGC-1α after ICH in the brain. Brain injury was induced by injecting autologous arterial blood (50μL) into the rat brain. PGC-1α siRNAs were injected into rat brains 24h prior to ICH. Then, 72h after ICH, brains were collected for investigation. Post-assessment included western blot analysis, RT-PCR assay, neurobehavioral function testing, measurement of brain water content, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and projection electron microscopy on ICH rat models. The concentration of PGC-1α was higher in the ipsilateral striatum after ICH, peaking around 72h after ICH. The expression of NRF-1, TFAM, SOD2, UCP2, mitochondrial DNA, ATP concentration, mitochondrial quantity, and brain water content were increased 72h after ICH. However, the neurological score was decreased 72h after ICH. Treatment with PGC-1α siRNAs significantly decreased the neurological score, ATP concentration, number of mitochondria, expression of NRF-1, TFAM, SOD2, UCP2, and mitochondrial DNA, and increased brain water content and formation of mitochondrial myelin layer structures. In conclusion, our data suggest that PGC-1α protects rat brains via a mitochondrial pathway following ICH. KEY WORDS PGC-1α intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH); mitochondrial; neuroprotection.

Abstract
We studied how well the original intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score would predict mortality. All nine patients with an ICH score of 0 survived, whereas those having scores of 1, 2, 3, and 4 had 10, 53, 71, and 100 % mortality, respectively. Thirty-nine patients were found to have hematoma of <30 mL (56 % survived), whereas 11 patients were found to have volume of >30 mL (only 10 % survived). The ICH score and volume is a simple clinical grading scale that allows risk stratification on presentation with ICH. The use of a scale such as the ICH score could improve standardization of clinical treatment protocols.

Abstract
Kpnb1, also known as Importin β1, is a member of the Karyopherin protein family which plays a important role in nuclear import and export pathways. Its expression has been shown to be responsive to stress, such as heat shock, ethanol and oxidative stress. Previous studies demonstrated that Kpnb1 had anti-apoptotic in cervical cancer. These together prompted us to explore whether Kpnb1 has some association with neuron apoptosis in the pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In our study, an ICH model was established by injecting into the right basal ganglia of adult rats with their autologous whole blood and assessed by behavioral tests. We found Kpnb1 were significantly up-regulated adjacent to the hematoma following ICH by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Double immunofluorenscence manifested Kpnb1 was strikingly increased in neurons, not astrocytes or microglia. Furthermore, we also found that kpnb1 had co-localizations with active-caspase-3 which is a neuronal apoptosis marker suggesting its role in neuronal apoptosis. What's more, our in vitro study, using Kpnb1 RNA interference in PC12 cells, further indicated that Kpnb1 might exert its pro-apoptotic function on neuronal apoptosis. Therefore, Kpnb1 may play a role in the neuronal apoptosis following ICH.

Abstract
Urocortin exerts neuroprotective effects in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) of rats. For pre-clinical trial, we intended to study the neuroprotective efficacy of human UCN (hUCN)-1, -2 and -3 in treating ICH rats. ICH was induced by infusing bacterial collagenase VII (0.23 U in sterile saline) to the striatum. The hUCN-1, -2, and -3 were administrated (2.5μg/kg, i.p.) at 1h after ICH insult, respectively. Neurological deficits were evaluated by modified Neurological Severity Scores. Brain edema and hematoma expansion was evaluated by coronal T2-WI and DWI magnetic resonance imaging on 1, 3, 6, 24, and 56h after ICH insult. Blood-brain barrier permeability was evaluated by Evans blue assay on day 3 after ICH. Brain lesion volume was evaluated by morphormetric measurement on day 7 after ICH. Our results demonstrated that the hUCN-1 significantly reduced hematoma, blood-brain barrier disruption and neurological deficits on day 3, and brain lesion volume on day 7 after ICH insult. The prediction of secondary structure of the hUCNs clarifies that the percentage of alpha-helix, random coil and extended strand between rat-UCN (rUCN)-1 and hUCN-1 are the same. The structure similarity between human- and rat-UCN-1 may be one of the reasons that both can exert similar therapeutic potential in ICH rats.

Abstract
Complement is a major effector arm of the innate immune system that responds rapidly to pathogens or altered self. The central protein of the system, C3, participates in an amplification loop that can lead to rapid complement deposition on a target and, if excessive, can result in host tissue damage. Currently, complement activation is routinely monitored by assessing total C3 levels, which is an indirect and relatively insensitive method. An alternative approach would be to measure downstream C3 activation products such as C3a and iC3b. However, in vitro activation can produce falsely elevated levels of these biomarkers. To circumvent this issue, a lateral flow immunoassay system was developed that measures iC3b in whole blood, plasma, and serum and avoids in vitro activation by minimizing sample handling. This assay system returns results within 15 min and specifically measures iC3b while having minimal cross-reactivity to other C3 split products. While evaluating the potential of this assay, it was observed that circulating iC3b levels can distinguish healthy individuals from those with complement activation-associated diseases. This tool is engineered to provide an improved method to assess complement activation at point of care and could facilitate studies to monitor disease progression in a variety of inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Biomedical magnetic induction measurement is a promising method for the detection of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), especially in China. Aiming at overcoming the problem of low sensitivity, a magnetic induction sensor is chosen to replace the conventional sensors. It uses a two-arm Archimedean spiral coil as the exciter and a circular coil as the receiver. In order to carry out high-fidelity simulations, the Chinese head model with real anatomical structure is introduced into this novel sensor for the first time. Simulations have been carried out upon early stage ICH measurements. By calculating the state sensitivity and time sensitivity of the perturbation phase of two types of sensors using the electromagnetic software, we conclude that the primary signal received can be largely reduced using the novel sensor, which could effectively increase the time and state sensitivity simultaneously.

Abstract
Transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has shown promising therapeutic effects for ischemic stroke. However, it is not clear if this treatment would promote recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, we investigated the functional outcome of iPSCs transplantation in experimental ICH in rats. IPSCs were derived from an ICH patient's fibroblasts and were injected into the ipsilateral side of ICH in rats. IPSCs transplantation significantly improved the neurological functions after ICH as compared to vehicle and fibroblast injection. The grafted iPSCs migrated into brain tissue around the hematoma, survived after 4 weeks of transplantation, and exhibited the neural cell-specific biomarkers nestin, β-tubulin, and GFAP. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the densities of brain derived neurophic factors (BDNF)-positive cells and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-positive cells were significantly increased around the hemorrhagic brain tissues of iPSCs-treated rats. In addition, iPSCs treatment increased the protein expression of BDNF and VEGF in the surrounding region of hematoma. These findings demonstrate that the transplantation of ICH patient-derived iPSCs contributes toward the improved neurological function in experimental ICH rats. The mechanisms are possibly due to neuronal replacement and enhanced secretion of neurophic factors. Our data suggest that transplantation of ICH patient-derived iPSCs may be a therapeutic strategy for hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
Specific targeted therapy for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which has high disability and case-fatality rate, is currently not available. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from somatic cells of ICH patients have therapeutic potential for individualized cerebral protection. While, whether ICH patient-originated iPSCs could differentiate into neuro-epithelial-like stem (NES) cells and whether such NES cells could improve functional recovery in the hemorrhage-injured brain are unclear. Here, we showed that fibroblasts from an ICH patient can be efficiently reprogrammed to iPSCs by lentiviral vectors carrying defined transcription factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC). These iPSCs have the typical morphology, surface antigens, capability of self-renewal and differentiating into cell types of all three embryonic germ layers that are similar to human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Using defined serum-free neural differentiation medium, we induced the iPSCs differentiate into NES cells. Subsequently, the NES cells from ICH patient-originated iPSCs were transplanted into the perihematoma of rats with experimental ICH injury. Intriguingly, recovery of neurological dysfunction in experimental ICH rats was observed post-NES cells graftage. Transplanted NES cells migrated to the surrounding area of hematoma, survived and differentiated into neuron-like cells. Our study demonstrates that the transplantation of human iPS-originated NES cells is an effective approach of treating ICH injury and the improvement of neural function is partially due to neuronal replacement and regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the expression of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) on peripheral blood cells in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients and to analyze its clinical significance. DESIGN AND METHODS Tim-3 expression on peripheral immunocytes from ICH patients and healthy volunteers was measured by flow cytometry. The correlation between Tim-3 expression and the clinical indices was estimated using linear regression. RESULTS Tim-3 expressions on peripheral CD3⁺ T cells and CD8⁺ T cells in ICH patients are significantly downregulated, while Tim-3 expressions on CD14⁺ monocytes and CD16⁺CD56⁺ NK cells are increased. Furthermore, Tim-3 expression on peripheral CD8⁺ cells was negatively correlated with the inflammatory response, the disease severity and the outcome of ICH patients. However, there was no relationship between Tim-3 expression and blood glucose concentration. CONCLUSIONS Altered expression of Tim-3 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of ICH, demonstrating that Tim-3 might be a novel candidate molecule for prognosis evaluation of ICH patients.
