Association of ultra-early diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with neurological outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Crit Care 2023; 27:16. [PMID: 36639809 PMCID: PMC9837995 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04305-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the association between ultra-early (within 6 h after return of spontaneous circulation [ROSC]) brain diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and neurological outcomes in comatose survivors after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We conducted a registry-based observational study from May 2018 to February 2022 at a Chungnam national university hospital in Daejeon, Korea. Presence of high-signal intensity (HSI) (PHSI) was defined as a HSI on DW-MRI with corresponding hypoattenuation on the apparent diffusion coefficient map irrespective of volume after hypoxic ischemic brain injury; absence of HSI was defined as AHSI. The primary outcome was the dichotomized cerebral performance category (CPC) at 6 months, defined as good (CPC 1-2) or poor (CPC 3-5). RESULTS Of the 110 patients (30 women [27.3%]; median (interquartile range [IQR]) age, 58 [38-69] years), 48 (43.6%) had a good neurological outcome, time from ROSC to MRI scan was 2.8 h (IQR 2.0-4.0 h), and the PHSI on DW-MRI was observed in 46 (41.8%) patients. No patients in the PHSI group had a good neurological outcome compared with 48 (75%) patients in the AHSI group. In the AHSI group, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels were significantly lower in the group with good neurological outcome compared to the group with poor neurological outcome (20.1 [14.4-30.7] ng/mL vs. 84.3 [32.4-167.0] ng/mL, P < 0.001). The area under the curve for PHSI on DW-MRI was 0.87 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80-0.93), and the specificity and sensitivity for predicting a poor neurological outcome were 100% (95% CI 91.2%-100%) and 74.2% (95% CI 62.0-83.5%), respectively. A higher sensitivity was observed when CSF NSE levels were combined (88.7% [95% CI 77.1-95.1%]; 100% specificity). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort study, PHSI findings on ultra-early DW-MRI were associated with poor neurological outcomes 6 months following the cardiac arrest. The combined CSF NSE levels showed higher sensitivity at 100% specificity than on DW-MRI alone. Prospective multicenter studies are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Antiamyloid β ( A β ) immunotherapy is a promising therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) but generates large amounts of soluble A β peptides that could overwhelm the clearance pathway, leading to serious side effects. Direct implications of A β in glymphatic drainage transport for cerebral vasculature and tissue are not well known. Studies are needed to resolve this issue and pave the way to better monitoring abnormal vascular events that may occur in A β -modifying therapies for AD. AIM The objective is to characterize the modification of cerebral vasculature and tissue induced by soluble A β abundantly present in the glymphatic clearance system. APPROACH A β 1 - 42 peptide was injected intracerebroventricularly and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) was used to monitor the progression of changes in the brain microvascular network and tissue in vivo over 14 days. Parameters reflecting vascular morphology and structure as well as tissue status were quantified and compared before treatment. RESULTS Vascular perfusion density, vessel length, and branch density decreased sharply and persistently following peptide administration. In comparison, vascular average diameter and vascular tortuosity were moderately increased at the late stage of monitoring. Endpoint density gradually increased, and the global optical attenuation coefficient value decreased significantly over time. CONCLUSIONS A β burden in the glymphatic system directly contributes to cerebrovascular structural and morphological abnormalities and global brain tissue damage, suggesting severe deleterious properties of soluble cerebrospinal fluid- A β . We also show that OCT can be used as an effective tool to monitor cerebrovascular dynamics and tissue property changes in response to therapeutic treatments in drug discovery research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antiangiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors play an essential role in systemic therapy for renal cell carcinoma. Given the anti-edematous effect of bevacizumab, an antiangiogenic antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors should exert therapeutic effects on radiation-induced brain injury after stereotactic radiosurgery. This preliminary study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor against radiation-induced brain injury. METHODS Magnetic resonance images for six patients treated with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors who were diagnosed with radiation-induced brain injury following gamma knife radiosurgery were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The median brain edema volume and tumour mass volume in the pre-tyrosine kinase inhibitor period were 57.6 mL (range: 39.4-188.2) and 3.2 mL (range: 1.0-4.6), respectively. Axitinib, pazopanib (followed by cabozantinib) and sunitinib were administered in four, one and one cases, respectively. The median brain edema volume and tumour mass volume in the post-tyrosine kinase inhibitor period were 4.8 mL (range: 1.5-27.8) and 1.6 mL (range: 0.4-3.6), respectively. The median rates of reduction in brain edema volume and tumour mass volume were 90.8% (range: 51.9-97.6%) and 57.2% (range: 20.0-68.6%), respectively. The post-tyrosine kinase inhibitor values for brain edema volume (P = 0.027) and tumour mass volume (P = 0.008) were significantly lower than the pre-tyrosine kinase inhibitor values. Changes in volume were correlated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor use. CONCLUSION This study is the first to demonstrate the therapeutic effects of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors on radiation-induced brain injury in patients with brain metastases from renal cell carcinoma treated via gamma knife radiosurgery.

Abstract
Brain edema is a fatal pathological state in which brain volume increases as a result of abnormal accumulation of fluid within the brain parenchyma. A key attribute of experimentally induced brain edema - increased brain water content (BWC) - needs to be verified. Various methods are used for this purpose: specific gravimetric technique, electron microscopic examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dry/wet weight measurement. In this study, the cohort of 40 rats was divided into one control group (CG) and four experimental groups with 8 rats in each group. The procedure for determining BWC using dry/wet weight measurement was initiated 24 h after the completion of edema induction by the water intoxication method (WI group); after the intraperitoneal administration of Methylprednisolone (MP) together with distilled water during edema induction (WI+MP group); 30 min after osmotic blood brain barrier disruption (BBBd group); after injection of MP via the internal carotid artery immediately after BBBd (BBBd + MP group). While induction of brain edema (WI, BBBd) resulted in significantly higher BWC, there was no increase in BWC in the MP groups (WI+MP, BBBd+MP), suggesting a neuroprotective effect of MP in the development of brain edema.

Abstract
AbstractThe pathological features of cerebral edema are complicated. The intracranial pressure (ICP) is regarded as the most important indicator for monitoring cerebral edema. Recently, multi-parameter has been used to explore the types and pathogenesis of cerebral edema and design effective treatment strategies. This research focused on investigating the characteristic of the cerebral edema induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats by using simultaneous electrophysical and hemodynamic parameters. The results showed that neurophysiologic parameters (firing rate (FR) and the power spectrum of local field potential (LFP power)) and hemodynamic parameters (relative concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin (ΔCHbO2), relative concentration of deoxyhemoglobin ΔCHbR) and relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF)) were linearly correlated, and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was changed by pathological progression of cerebral edema induced by LPS. Furtherly, the treatment after two agents were observed successfully through these multi-parameters. Our findings revealed the relationship between neural activity and hemodynamic response during the progression of cerebral edema and provided a multi-parameter solution for cerebral edema functional monitoring and anti-edema drug efficacy evaluation.

Abstract
Dexamethasone, a common medication used in the treatment regimen of glioblastoma, has broad inhibitory effects on the immune responses. Here, in an in vitro study, we examined the effects of piroxicam, a potent substitute for dexamethasone, on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) co-cultured with two glioblastoma cell lines, U-87 MG and A-172 cells. MTT assay was used to determine the proliferation of PBMCs treated with piroxicam, or dexamethasone. In addition, to evaluate the effects of drugs on the cell cycle distribution, DNA content per cell was analyzed in PBMCs and A-172 cell lines using flow cytometry. Oxidative parameters, including superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD3) activity and total anti-antioxidant capacity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, as well as IFN-γ and TGF-β levels were measured in PBMCs alone or in the presence of cell lines using ELISA. Unlike dexamethasone, piroxicam showed a protective effect on PBMCs against both glioblastoma cell lines. Furthermore, while dexamethasone reduced the proliferation of PBMCs, piroxicam had no adverse effect on the proliferation. Cell cycle analysis showed a reduction in the G2/M phase in piroxicam-treated A-172 cells. Additionally, dexamethasone limited the cell cycle progression by increasing the fraction of PBMCs in G0/G1. Interestingly, after co-culturing piroxicam-treated PBMCs with cell lines, a remarkable rise in the LDH activity was observed. Although not significant, piroxicam partially decreased TGF-β levels in both cell lines. Our findings suggested a protective effect of piroxicam, but not dexamethasone, on PBMCs against inhibitory mechanisms of two glioblastoma cell lines, U-87 and A-172 cells.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder; 1% of people worldwide have epilepsy. Differentiating epileptic seizures from other acute neurological disorders in a clinical setting can be challenging. Approximately one-third of patients have drug-resistant epilepsy that is not well controlled by current antiepileptic drug therapy. Surgical treatment is potentially curative if the epileptogenic focus is accurately localized. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging technique that is sensitive to the diffusion of water molecules and provides additional information on the microstructure of tissue. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of peri-ictal, postictal, and interictal diffusion images can aid the differential diagnosis of seizures and seizure foci localization. This review focused on the fundamentals of DWI and its associated techniques, such as apparent diffusion coefficient, diffusion tensor imaging, and tractography, as well as their impact on epilepsy in terms of differential diagnosis, epileptic foci determination, and prognosis prediction.

Abstract
Head trauma is the most common cause of disability in young adults. Known as a silent epidemic, it can cause a mosaic of symptoms, whether neurological (sensory-motor deficits), psychiatric (depressive and anxiety symptoms), or somatic (vertigo, tinnitus, phosphenes). Furthermore, cranial trauma (CT) in children presents several particularities in terms of epidemiology, mechanism, and physiopathology-notably linked to the attack of an immature organ. As in adults, head trauma in children can have lifelong repercussions and can cause social and family isolation, difficulties at school, and, later, socio-professional adversity. Improving management of the pre-hospital and rehabilitation course of these patients reduces secondary morbidity and mortality, but often not without long-term disability. One hypothesized contributor to this process is chronic neuroinflammation, which could accompany primary lesions and facilitate their development into tertiary lesions. Neuroinflammation is a complex process involving different actors such as glial cells (astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes), the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, excitotoxicity, production of oxygen derivatives, cytokine release, tissue damage, and neuronal death. Several studies have investigated the effect of various treatments on the neuroinflammatory response in traumatic brain injury in vitro and in animal and human models. The aim of this review is to examine the various anti-inflammatory therapies that have been implemented.

Abstract
Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating type of stroke worldwide. Neuronal destruction involved in the brain damage process caused by ICH includes a primary injury formed by the mass effect of the hematoma and a secondary injury induced by the degradation products of a blood clot. Additionally, factors in the coagulation cascade and complement activation process also contribute to secondary brain injury by promoting the disruption of the blood-brain barrier and neuronal cell degeneration by enhancing the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, etc. Although treatment options for direct damage are limited, various strategies have been proposed to treat secondary injury post-ICH. Perihematomal edema (PHE) is a potential surrogate marker for secondary injury and may contribute to poor outcomes after ICH. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the underlying pathological mechanism, evolution, and potential therapeutic strategies to treat PHE. Here, we review the pathophysiology and imaging characteristics of PHE at different stages after acute ICH. As illustrated in preclinical and clinical studies, we discussed the merits and limitations of varying PHE quantification protocols, including absolute PHE volume, relative PHE volume, and extension distance calculated with images and other techniques. Importantly, this review summarizes the factors that affect PHE by focusing on traditional variables, the cerebral venous drainage system, and the brain lymphatic drainage system. Finally, to facilitate translational research, we analyze why the relationship between PHE and the functional outcome of ICH is currently controversial. We also emphasize promising therapeutic approaches that modulate multiple targets to alleviate PHE and promote neurologic recovery after acute ICH.

Abstract
Brain edema is a pathological condition with potentially fatal consequences, related to cerebral injuries such as ischemia, chronic renal failure, uremia, and diabetes, among others. Under these pathological states, the cell volume control processes are fully compromised, because brain cells are unable to regulate the movement of water, mainly regulated by osmotic gradients. The processes involved in cell volume regulation are homeostatic mechanisms that depend on the mobilization of osmolytes (ions, organic molecules, and polyols) in the necessary direction to counteract changes in osmolyte concentration in response to water movement. The expression and coordinated function of proteins related to the cell volume regulation process, such as water channels, ion channels, and other cotransport systems in the glial cells, and considering the glial cell proportion compared to neuronal cells, leads to consider the astroglial network the main regulatory unit for water homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS). In the last decade, several studies highlighted the pivotal role of glia in the cell volume regulation process and water homeostasis in the brain, including the retina; any malfunction of this astroglial network generates a lack of the ability to regulate the osmotic changes and water movements and consequently exacerbates the pathological condition.

Abstract
In this Perspective, we provide our insights and opinions about the contribution—and potential co-regulation—of mechanics and metabolism in incurable breast cancer brain metastasis. Altered metabolic activity can affect cancer metastasis as high glucose supply and demand in the brain microenvironment favors aerobic glycolysis. Similarly, the altered mechanical properties of disseminating cancer cells facilitate migration to and metastatic seeding of the brain, where local metabolites support their progression. Cancer cells in the brain and the brain tumor microenvironment often possess opposing mechanical and metabolic properties compared to extracranial cancer cells and their microenvironment, which inhibit the ease of extravasation and metastasis of these cells outside the central nervous system. We posit that the brain provides a metabolic microenvironment that mechanically reinforces the cellular structure of cancer cells and supports their metastatic growth while restricting their spread from the brain to external organs.

Abstract
Although it is a normal involution process in advanced age, brain atrophy—also termed atrophic encephalopathy—can also occur prematurely in childhood as a consequential effect of brain tissues injury through trauma or central nervous system infection, though in both normal and premature occurrences this condition always presents with loss of volume relative to the skull. A common tool for the functional study of brain activities is an electroencephalogram, but analyses of this have reportedly identified mismatches between qualitative and quantitative forms, particularly in the use of Delta-alpha ratio (DAR) indices, meaning that the values may be case dependent. The current study thus examines the value of Focused Occipital Beta-Alpha Ratio (FOBAR) as a modified biomarker for evaluating brain functional changes resulting from brain atrophy. This cross-sectional design study involves 260 patients under 18 years of age. Specifically, 207 patients with brain atrophy are compared with 53 control subjects with CT scan-proven normal brain volume. All the children underwent digital electroencephalography with brain mapping. Results show that alpha posterior dominant rhythm was present in 88 atrophic children and 44 controls. Beta as posterior dominant rhythm was present in an overwhelming 91.5% of atrophic subjects, with 0.009 p-values. The focused occipital Beta-alpha ratio correlated significantly with brain volume loss presented in diagonal brain fraction. The FOBAR and DAR values of the QEEG showed no significant correlation. This work concludes that QEEG cerebral dysfunctional studies may be etiologically and case dependent from the nature of the brain injury. Also, the focused Beta-alpha ratio of the QEEG is a prospective and potential biomarker of consideration in studying childhood atrophic encephalopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by a primary mechanical injury and a secondary injury associated with neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and neurodegeneration. We have developed a novel cannabidiol aminoquinone derivative, VCE-004.8, which is a dual PPARγ/CB2 agonist that also activates the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway. VCE-004.8 shows potent antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities and it is now in Phase II clinical trials for systemic sclerosis and multiple sclerosis. Herein, we investigated the mechanism of action of VCE-004.8 in the HIF pathway and explored its efficacy in a preclinical model of TBI. METHODS Using a phosphoproteomic approach, we investigated the effects of VCE-004.8 on prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein 2 (PHD2) posttranslational modifications. The potential role of PP2A/B55α in HIF activation was analyzed using siRNA for B55α. To evaluate the angiogenic response to the treatment with VCE-004.8 we performed a Matrigel plug in vivo assay. Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) as well as vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM), and zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1) tight junction protein expression were studied in brain microvascular endothelial cells. The efficacy of VCE-004.8 in vivo was evaluated in a controlled cortical impact (CCI) murine model of TBI. RESULTS Herein we provide evidence that VCE-004.8 inhibits PHD2 Ser125 phosphorylation and activates HIF through a PP2A/B55α pathway. VCE-004.8 induces angiogenesis in vivo increasing the formation of functional vessel (CD31/α-SMA) and prevents in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption ameliorating the loss of ZO-1 expression under proinflammatory conditions. In CCI model VCE-004.8 treatment ameliorates early motor deficits after TBI and attenuates cerebral edema preserving BBB integrity. Histopathological analysis revealed that VCE-004.8 treatment induces neovascularization in pericontusional area and prevented immune cell infiltration to the brain parenchyma. In addition, VCE-004.8 attenuates neuroinflammation and reduces neuronal death and apoptosis in the damaged area. CONCLUSIONS This study provides new insight about the mechanism of action of VCE-004.8 regulating the PP2A/B55α/PHD2/HIF pathway. Furthermore, we show the potential efficacy for TBI treatment by preventing BBB disruption, enhancing angiogenesis, and ameliorating neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration after brain injury.

A Focal Impact Model of Traumatic Brain Injury in Xenopus Tadpoles Reveals Behavioral Alterations, Neuroinflammation, and an Astroglial Response. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23147578.

Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a global driver of disability, and we currently lack effective therapies to promote neural repair and recovery. TBI is characterized by an initial insult, followed by a secondary injury cascade, including inflammation, excitotoxicity, and glial cellular response. This cascade incorporates molecular mechanisms that represent potential targets of therapeutic intervention. In this study, we investigate the response to focal impact injury to the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis tadpoles. This injury disrupts the blood-brain barrier, causing edema, and produces deficits in visually-driven behaviors which are resolved within one week. Within 3 h, injured brains show a dramatic transcriptional activation of inflammatory cytokines, upregulation of genes associated with inflammation, and recruitment of microglia to the injury site and surrounding tissue. Shortly afterward, astrocytes undergo morphological alterations and accumulate near the injury site, and these changes persist for at least 48 h following injury. Genes associated with astrocyte reactivity and neuroprotective functions also show elevated levels of expression following injury. Since our results demonstrate that the response to focal impact injury in Xenopus resembles the cellular alterations observed in rodents and other mammalian models, the Xenopus tadpole offers a new, scalable vertebrate model for TBI.

Abstract
The history of brain drug delivery is reviewed beginning with the first demonstration, in 1914, that a drug for syphilis, salvarsan, did not enter the brain, due to the presence of a blood-brain barrier (BBB). Owing to restricted transport across the BBB, FDA-approved drugs for the CNS have been generally limited to lipid-soluble small molecules. Drugs that do not cross the BBB can be re-engineered for transport on endogenous BBB carrier-mediated transport and receptor-mediated transport systems, which were identified during the 1970s-1980s. By the 1990s, a multitude of brain drug delivery technologies emerged, including trans-cranial delivery, CSF delivery, BBB disruption, lipid carriers, prodrugs, stem cells, exosomes, nanoparticles, gene therapy, and biologics. The advantages and limitations of each of these brain drug delivery technologies are critically reviewed.

Abstract
Blood brain barrier (BBB) injury is an important factor affecting the prognosis of ischemic stroke. Extensive research on BBB injury has revealed that blood vessels and neural networks are interdependent and interrelated during and after the development of the brain. An array of signaling molecules, known as angioneurins, can affect both blood vessels and neural networks simultaneously. Angioneurins not only regulate the angiogenesis and remodeling process of the vascular system, but also act as neurotrophic and neuroprotective factors, or serve as guide molecules for axons. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a type of angioneurin that is expressed in neurons, astrocytes, macrophages, and vascular endothelial cells in ischemic and hypoxic brain tissues after cerebral ischemia. VEGF can increase and induce the destruction of the endothelial barrier in the early stages of cerebral ischemia. Both the upregulation of endogenous VEGF levels and the use of exogenous VEGF are harmful in the acute stage of stroke. However, the harmful effects of VEGF on vascular integrity are transient. Several studies have shown that VEGF regulates angiogenesis, neurogenesis, neurite growth and brain edema after cerebral ischemia. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the dual role of VEGF in ischemic stroke. The following will focus on the damage caused by VEGF to the BBB in the context of cerebral ischemic stroke, as well as therapeutic studies targeting VEGF.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a common cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and disability rates. Despite progressive advances in drugs and surgical techniques, neurological dysfunction in surviving SAH patients have not improved significantly. Traditionally, vasospasm has been considered the main cause of death and disability following SAH, but anti-vasospasm therapy has not benefited clinical prognosis. Many studies have proposed that early brain injury (EBI) may be the primary factor influencing the prognosis of SAH. Melatonin is an indole hormone and is the main hormone secreted by the pineal gland, with low daytime secretion levels and high nighttime secretion levels. Melatonin produces a wide range of biological effects through the neuroimmune endocrine network, and participates in various physiological activities in the central nervous system, reproductive system, immune system, and digestive system. Numerous studies have reported that melatonin has extensive physiological and pharmacological effects such as anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammation, maintaining circadian rhythm, and regulating cellular and humoral immunity. In recent years, more and more studies have been conducted to explore the molecular mechanism underlying melatonin-induced neuroprotection. The studies suggest beneficial effects in the recovery of intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and meningitis through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. This review summarizes the recent studies on the application and mechanism of melatonin in SAH.

Abstract
The response of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) following a stroke, including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), has been studied extensively. The main components of this reaction are endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes that affect microglia, neurons, and vascular smooth muscle cells. SAH induces alterations in individual BBB cells, leading to brain homeostasis disruption. Recent experiments have uncovered many pathophysiological cascades affecting the BBB following SAH. Targeting some of these pathways is important for restoring brain function following SAH. BBB injury occurs immediately after SAH and has long-lasting consequences, but most changes in the pathophysiological cascades occur in the first few days following SAH. These changes determine the development of early brain injury as well as delayed cerebral ischemia. SAH-induced neuroprotection also plays an important role and weakens the negative impact of SAH. Supporting some of these beneficial cascades while attenuating the major pathophysiological pathways might be decisive in inhibiting the negative impact of bleeding in the subarachnoid space. In this review, we attempt a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the molecular and cellular changes in the BBB following SAH and their possible modulation by various drugs and substances.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with brain and spine tumors are at high risk of presenting cancer-related complications at disease presentation or during active treatment and are usually related to the type and location of the lesion. Here, we discuss presentation and management of the most common emergencies affecting patients with central nervous system neoplastic lesions. RECENT FINDINGS Tumor-related emergencies encompass complications in patients with central nervous system neoplasms, as well as neurologic complications in patients with systemic malignancies. Brain tumor patients are at high risk of developing multiple complications such as intracranial hypertension, brain herniation, intracranial bleeding, spinal cord compression, and others. Neuro-oncologic emergencies require immediate attention and multi-disciplinary care. These emergent situations usually need rapid decision-making and management on an inpatient basis.

Abstract
Dichlorvos (DDVP) is an insecticide with neurotoxicity that is widely used in agricultural production and life. However, the effects of acute DDVP poisoning on brain tissue remain underinvestigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences within 15 min-6 h in plasma biochemical indexes, brain histology and metabolites among three groups of commercial broilers orally administered different dosages of DDVP one time: (1) high-dose group (11.3 mg/kg), (2) low-dose group (2.48 mg/kg) and (3) control group (0 mg/kg). The results of biochemical indexes showed that acute DDVP poisoning could cause hyperglycemia and oxidative stress in poisoned broilers. Histological examination showed that DDVP could induce brain edema, abnormal expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neuronal mitochondrial damage in broilers. Whole-brain metabolism showed that DDVP could significantly change the secretion of neurotransmitters, energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism and nucleotide metabolism. Correlation analysis showed that metabolites such as hypoxanthine, acetylcarnitine and glucose 6-phosphate were significantly correlated with blood glucose, biomarkers of oxidative stress and brain injury pathology. The results of this study provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of brain tissue responses to acute DDVP exposure in broilers and deliver important information for clinical research on neurodegenerative diseases caused by acute DDVP poisoning.

A neuroendoscopic navigation system based on dual-mode augmented reality for minimally invasive surgical treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Comput Biol Med 2022; 140:105091. [PMID: 34872012 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2021.105091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is characterized by a high rate of morbidity, mortality, disability and recurrence. Neuroendoscopy has been utilized for treatment as an advanced technology. However, traditional neuroendoscopy allows professionals to see only tissue surfaces, and the field of vision is limited, which cannot provide spatial guidance. In this study, an AR-based neuroendoscopic navigation system is proposed to assist surgeons in locating and clearing hematoma. METHODS The neuroendoscope can be registered through the vector closed loop algorithm. The single-shot method is designed to register medical images with patients precisely. Real-time AR is realized based on video stream fusion. Dual-mode AR navigation is proposed to provide comprehensive guidance from catheter implantation to hematoma removal. A series of experiments is designed to validate the accuracy and significance of this system. RESULTS The average root mean square error of the registration between medical images and patients is 0.784 mm, and the variance is 0.1426 mm. The pixel mismatching degrees are less than 1% in different AR modes. In catheter implantation experiments, the average error of distance is 1.28 mm, and the variance is 0.43 mm, while the average error of angles is 1.34°, and the variance is 0.45°. Comparative experiments are also conducted to evaluate the feasibility of this system. CONCLUSION This system can provide stereo images with depth information fused with patients to guide surgeons to locate targets and remove hematoma. It has been validated to have high accuracy and feasibility.

Abstract
Brain edema - a frequently fatal pathological state in which brain volume increases resulting in intracranial pressure elevation - can result from almost any insult to the brain, including traumatic brain injury. For many years, the objective of experimental studies was to find a method to prevent the development of brain edema at the onset. From this perspective, the use of methylprednisolone (MP) appears promising. High molecular MP (MW>50 kDa) can be incorporated into the brain - in the conditions of the experimental model - either by osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption (BBBd) or during the induction of cellular edema by water intoxication (WI) - a condition that increases the BBB permeability. The time window for administration of the MP should be at the earliest stages of edema. The neuroprotective effect of MP on the permeability of cytoplasmatic membranes of neuronal populations was proved. MP was administrated in three alternative ways: intraperitoneally during the induction of cytotoxic edema or immediately after finishing cytotoxic edema induction in a dose of 100 mg/kg b.w.; into the internal carotid artery within 2 h after finishing cytotoxic edema induction in a dose of 50 mg/kg b.w.; into internal carotid artery 10 min after edema induction by BBBd in a dose of 50 mg/kg b.w.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder characterized by senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, is the most common form of dementia worldwide. However, currently, there are no satisfying curative therapies for AD. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a selective physical barrier and plays protective roles in maintaining brain homeostasis. BBB dysfunction as an upstream or downstream event promotes the onset and progression of AD. Moreover, the pathogenesis of AD caused by BBB injury hasn't been well elucidated. Glial cells, BBB compartments and neurons form a minimal functional unit called the neurovascular unit (NVU). Emerging evidence suggests that glial cells are regulators in maintaining the BBB integrity and neuronal function. Illustrating the regulatory mechanism of glial cells in the BBB assists us in drawing a glial-vascular coupling diagram of AD, which may offer new insight into the pathogenesis of AD and early intervention strategies for AD. This review aims to summarize our current knowledge of glial-BBB interactions and their pathological implications in AD and to provide new therapeutic potentials for future investigations.

Abstract
The spatial heterogeneity in the temporal occurrence of pseudo-normalization of MR apparent diffusion coefficient values for ischemic lesions may be related to morphological and functional vascular remodeling. As the area of accelerated pseudo-normalization tends to expand faster and more extensively into the chronic stage, detailed vascular characterization of such areas is necessary. During the subacute stage of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion rat models, the morphological size of the macrovasculature, microvascular vessel size index (VSI), and microvessel density (MVD) were quantified along with functional perfusion measurements of the relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean transit time (rMTT) of the corresponding areas (33 cases for each parameter). When compared with typical pseudo-normalization lesions, early pseudo-normalization lesions exhibited larger VSI and rCBF (p < 0.001) at reperfusion days 4 and 7, along with reduced MVD and elongated rMTT (p < 0.001) at reperfusion days 1, 4, and 7. The group median VSI and rCBF exhibited a strong positive correlation (r = 0.92), and the corresponding MVD and rMTT showed a negative correlation (r = -0.48). Light sheet fluorescence microscopy images were used to quantitatively validate the corresponding MRI-derived microvascular size, density, and cerebral blood volume.

Abstract
Symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is one of the complications most likely to lead to death in patients with acute ischemic stroke. HT after acute ischemic stroke is diagnosed when certain areas of cerebral infarction appear as cerebral hemorrhage on radiological images. Its mechanisms are usually explained by disruption of the blood-brain barrier and reperfusion injury that causes leakage of peripheral blood cells. In ischemic infarction, HT may be a natural progression of acute ischemic stroke and can be facilitated or enhanced by reperfusion therapy. Therefore, to balance risks and benefits, HT occurrence in acute stroke settings is an important factor to be considered by physicians to determine whether recanalization therapy should be performed. This review aims to illustrate the pathophysiological mechanisms of HT, outline most HT-related factors after reperfusion therapy, and describe prevention strategies for the occurrence and enlargement of HT, such as blood pressure control. Finally, we propose a promising therapeutic approach based on biological research studies that would help clinicians treat such catastrophic complications.

Abstract
Macrophages, which are the main regulators of the tumor-associated microenvironment, play a crucial role in the progression of various tumors. The anti-inflammatory role of β-catenin in macrophages has been extensively studied in recent years. However, the association between macrophages and β-catenin with regards to the development of glioma has not yet been investigated, at least to the best of our knowledge. The present study found that fibroblast growth factor 20 (FGF20), as a paracrine cytokine, was secreted by glioma cells and acted on macrophages. FGF20 treated macrophages exhibited a decreased pro-inflammatory phenotype upon LPS and IFN-γ stimulation, characterized by the decreased the level of M1 macrophage markers and the reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistic analysis revealed that FGF20 interacted with FGF receptor 1 isoform of macrophages, and subsequently increased the stability of β-catenin via phosphorylating GSK3β, which suppressed macrophage polarization to the M1-phenotype. Finally, it was found that FGF20 of glioma cells expression was upregulated by the glucocorticoids (GCs) treatment, and decreased FGF20 expression of glioma cells markedly blocked the effects of GCs on the polarization of macrophages. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that FGF20, secreted from glioma cells, participates the GCs regulated macrophage function and exerts anti-inflammatory effects during the treatment of glioma by GCs. Moreover, a molecular link was identified between glioma cells and macrophages, demonstrating that FGF20 modulates the GCs-induced dysfunction of macrophages during glioma development.

Pretreatment of Sulfonylureas Reducing Perihematomal Edema in Diabetic Patients With Basal Ganglia Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Case-Control Study. Front Neurol 2021; 12:736383.

Abstract
Background: The sulfonylurea receptor 1–transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (SUR1–TRPM4) channel is a target key mediator of brain edema. Sulfonylureas (SFUs) are blockers of the SUR1–TRPM4 channel. We made two assessments for the pretreatment of SFUs: (1) whether it associates with lower perihematomal edema (PHE) and (2) whether it associates with improved clinical outcomes in diabetic patients who have acute basal ganglia hemorrhage. Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted in diabetic adults receiving regular SFUs before the onset of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). All of the patients received the clinical diagnosis of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage. The diagnosis was confirmed by a CT scan within 7 days after hemorrhage. For each case, we selected two matched controls with basal ganglia hemorrhage based on admission time (≤5 years) and age differences (≤5 years), with the same gender and similar hematoma volume. The primary outcome was PHE volume, and the secondary outcomes were relative PHE (rPHE), functional independence according to modified Rankin Scale score and Barthel Index at discharge, and death rate in the hospital. Results: A total of 27 patients (nine cases and 18 matched controls), admitted between January 1, 2009 and October 31, 2018, were included in our study. There was no significant association between SFU patients and non-SFU patients on PHE volumes [15.4 (7.4–50.2 ml) vs. 8.0 (3.1–22.1) ml, p = 0.100]. Compared to non-SFU patients, the SFU patients had significantly lower rPHE [0.8 (0.7–1.3) vs. 1.5 (1.2–1.9), p = 0.006]. After we adjusted the confounding factors, we found that sulfonylureas can significantly reduce both PHE volume (regression coefficient: −13.607, 95% CI: −26.185 to −1.029, p = 0.035) and rPHE (regression coefficient: −0.566, 95% CI: −0.971 to −0.161, p = 0.009). However, we found no significant improvement in clinical outcomes at discharge, in the event of pretreatment of SFUs before the onset of ICH, even after we adjusted the confounding factors. Conclusion: For diabetic patients with acute basal ganglia hemorrhage, pretreatment of sulfonylureas may associate with lower PHE and relative PHE on admission. No significant effect was found on the clinical outcomes when the patients were discharged. Future studies are needed to assess the potential clinical benefits using sulfonylureas for ICH patients.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) remains a major public health issue. Inflammatory responses with overproduction of interleukin-1β regulated by NLRP3 inflammasome activation play a crucial role in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. We investigated the effects of the selective NLRP3-inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 on post-resuscitation cerebral function and neurologic outcome in a rat model of cardiac arrest. Thirty-six male rats were randomized into the MCC950 group, the control group, or the sham group (N = 12 of each group). Each group was divided into a 6 h non-survival subgroup (N = 6) and a 24 h survival subgroup (N = 6). Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was electrically induced and untreated for 6 min, followed by 8 min of precordial compressions and mechanical ventilation. Resuscitation was attempted with a 4J defibrillation. Either MCC950 (10 mg/kg) or vehicle was injected intraperitoneally immediately after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Rats in the sham group underwent the same surgical procedures without VF and CPR. Brain edema, cerebral microcirculation, plasma interleukin Iβ (IL-1β), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) concentration were measured at 6 h post-ROSC of non-survival subgroups, while 24 h survival rate, neurological deficits were measured at 24 h post-ROSC of survival subgroups. Post-resuscitation brain edema was significantly reduced in animals treated with MCC950 (p < 0.05). Cerebral perfused vessel density (PVD) and microcirculatory flow index (MFI) values were significantly higher in the MCC950 group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The plasma concentrations of IL-1β and NSE were significantly decreased in animals treated with MCC950 compared with the control group (p < 0.05). 24 h-survival rate and neurological deficits score (NDS) was also significantly improved in the MCC950 group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). NLRP3 inflammasome blockade with MCC950 at ROSC reduces the circulatory level of IL-1β, preserves cerebral microcirculation, mitigates cerebral edema, improves the 24 h-survival rate, and neurological deficits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aquaporin-4 is a membrane channel protein that is highly expressed in brain astrocytes and facilitates the transport of water molecules. It has been suggested that suppression of aquaporin-4 function may be an effective treatment for reducing cellular edema after cerebral infarction. It is therefore important to develop clinically applicable measurement systems to evaluate and better understand the effects of aquaporin-4 suppression on the living body. METHODS Animal models of focal cerebral ischemia were created by surgically occluding the middle cerebral artery of wild-type and aquaporin-4 knockout mice, after which multi-b-value multi-diffusion-time diffusion-weighted imaging measurements were performed. Data were analyzed with both the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) model and a compartmental water-exchange model. RESULTS ADCs were estimated for five different b value ranges. The ADC of aquaporin-4 knockout mice in the contralateral region was significantly higher than that of wild-type mice for each range. In contrast, aquaporin-4 knockout mice had significantly lower ADC than wild-type mice in ischemic tissue for each b-value range. Genotype-dependent differences in the ADC were particularly significant for the lowest ranges in normal tissue and for the highest ranges in ischemic tissue. The ADCs measured at different diffusion times were significantly different for both genotypes. Fitting of the water-exchange model to the ischemic region data found that the water-exchange time in aquaporin-4 knockout mice was approximately 2.5 times longer than that in wild-type mice. CONCLUSIONS Multi-b-value multi-diffusion-time diffusion-weighted imaging may be useful for in vivo research and clinical diagnosis of aquaporin-4-related diseases.

Abstract
An acute reduction in plasma osmolality causes rapid uptake of water by astrocytes but not by neurons, whereas both cell types swell as a consequence of lost blood flow (ischemia). Either hypoosmolality or ischemia can displace the brain downwards, potentially causing death. However, these disorders are fundamentally different at the cellular level. Astrocytes osmotically swell or shrink because they express functional water channels (aquaporins), whereas neurons lack functional aquaporins and thus maintain their volume. Yet both neurons and astrocytes immediately swell when blood flow to the brain is compromised (cytotoxic edema) as following stroke onset, sudden cardiac arrest, or traumatic brain injury. In each situation, neuronal swelling is the direct result of spreading depolarization (SD) generated when the ATP-dependent sodium/potassium ATPase (the Na+/K+ pump) is compromised. The simple, and incorrect, textbook explanation for neuronal swelling is that increased Na+ influx passively draws Cl- into the cell, with water following by osmosis via some unknown conduit. We first review the strong evidence that mammalian neurons resist volume change during acute osmotic stress. We then contrast this with their dramatic swelling during ischemia. Counter-intuitively, recent research argues that ischemic swelling of neurons is non-osmotic, involving ion/water cotransporters as well as at least one known amino acid water pump. While incompletely understood, these mechanisms argue against the dogma that neuronal swelling involves water uptake driven by an osmotic gradient with aquaporins as the conduit. Promoting clinical recovery from neuronal cytotoxic edema evoked by spreading depolarizations requires a far better understanding of molecular water pumps and ion/water cotransporters that act to rebalance water shifts during brain ischemia.

The functional indexes of RBCs and microcirculation in the traumatic brain injury with the action of 2-ethil-6-methil-3-hydroxypiridin succinate. BMC Neurosci 2021; 22:57. [PMID: 34525969 PMCID: PMC8442361 DOI: 10.1186/s12868-021-00657-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
RESEARCH AIM To study the RBCs functional and metabolic parameters and the microcirculatory brain structure at traumatic brain injury (TBI) under the action of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate. METHODS A closed TBI was modeled by the free fall of a load on the parietooccipital regions of head. We made studies of the influence of 2-ethil-6-methil-3-hydroxipiridin succinate on aggregation and electrophoretic mobility of RBCs, catalase activity, malonic dialdehyde concentration, adenosine triphosphate and 2.3-biphosphoglycerate (2.3 - BPG) concentrations in RBCs. The state of parenchyma and microcirculatory brain mainstream in post-traumatic period of TBI have been studied on micro-preparations. RESULTS The use of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate under conditions of head injury leads to a decrease in MDA concentration and in aggregation of RBCs, to an increase in the 2.3-BPG concentration and RBC electrophoretic mobility compared to the control (group value). The most pronounced changes under the action of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate were observed 3-7 days after the TBI. Significant indicators of the restoration of the microvasculature and brain tissue provoked by the use of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate of were evident from the 7th day unlike the control group, where the restoration of structural morphological parameters was observed only on the 12th day of the post-traumatic period. Fast recovery of blood flow under the action of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine succinate ensured effective restoration of neurons and glia in comparison with the control group. CONCLUSIONS Early and long-term cytoprotective correction intensifies the oxygen transport function of the blood, prevents and / or reduces disorders of microvessels, neurons and glia in the post-traumatic period, thereby provides correction of hypoxic state and drives to the restoration of brain tissues homeostasis.

Neutrophil-specific deletion of Syk results in recruitment-independent stabilization of the barrier and a long-term improvement in cognitive function after traumatic injury to the developing brain. Neurobiol Dis 2021; 157:105430. [PMID: 34153467 PMCID: PMC11302380 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2021.105430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 05/14/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
While traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in children, we have yet to identify those pathogenic events that determine the extent of recovery. Neutrophils are best known as "first responders" to sites of infection and trauma where they become fully activated, killing pathogens via proteases that are released during degranulation. However, this activational state may generate substantial toxicity in the young brain after TBI that is partially due to developmentally regulated inadequate antioxidant reserves. Neutrophil degranulation is triggered via a downstream signaling pathway that is dependent on spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk). To test the hypothesis that the activational state of neutrophils is a determinant of early pathogenesis and long-term recovery, we compared young, brain-injured conditional knockouts of Syk (sykf/fMRP8-cre+) to congenic littermates (sykf/f). Based upon flow cytometry, there was an extended recruitment of distinct leukocyte subsets, including Ly6G+/Ly6C- and Ly6G+/Ly6Cint, over the first several weeks post-injury which was similar between genotypes. Subsequent assessment of the acutely injured brain revealed a reduction in blood-brain barrier disruption to both high and low molecular weight dextrans and reactive oxygen species in sykf/fMRP8-cre+ mice compared to congenic littermates, and this was associated with greater preservation of claudin 5 and neuronal integrity, as determined by Western blot analyses. At adulthood, motor learning was less affected in brain-injured sykf/fMRP8-cre+ mice as compared to sykf/f mice. Performance in the Morris Water Maze revealed a robust improvement in hippocampal-dependent acquisition and short and long-term spatial memory retention in sykf/fMRP8-cre+ mice. Subsequent analyses of swim path lengths during hidden platform training and probe trials showed greater thigmotaxis in brain-injured sykf/f mice than sham sykf/f mice and injured sykf/fMRP8-cre+ mice. Our results establish the first mechanistic link between the activation state of neutrophils and long-term functional recovery after traumatic injury to the developing brain. These results also highlight Syk kinase as a novel therapeutic target that could be further developed for the brain-injured child.

Abstract
Oxidative stress, an adverse consequence of brain ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), activates matrix metalloproteinase enzymes which cause to destruction of extracellular matrix and tight junction proteins. Oxidative stress during stroke increases serum endothelin-1 and endothelin B receptor (ETBR) expression. Apelin-13, an endogenous peptide, is expressed in numerous tissues that regulate diverse physiological and pathological processes. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intravenous (IV) injection of apelin-13 on cerebral vasogenic edema due to brain IRI. Animals were divided into sham, ischemia, and treat groups. IRI model was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 60 min followed by 23 h reperfusion. Apelin-13 was injected into the tail vein 5 min before reperfusion. Neurological defects were evaluated with longa test. Brain water content and BBB permeability were assessed according to cerebral dry-wet weight and brain Evans blue extraction. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) were measured using the colorimetric method. Expression of occludin and claudin-5, matrix metalloproteinase- 2 and 9 (MMP-2 & 9) and, ETBR were evaluated using Western blot. Brain IRI was associated with BBB breakdowns and vasogenic edema. Apelin-13 significantly reduced BBB permeability and vasogenic edema. Apelin-13 significantly attenuated IRI-related oxidative stress. Apelin-13 decreased expression of mmp-2, 9 and ETBR, prevented from decrement of occludin and claudin-5 expersion, which protected BBB integrity and reduced vasogenic edema. In conclusion, our results have suggested that an IV injection of apelin-13 could somehow reduce vasogenic edema via targeting oxidative stress and ETBR expression.

Abstract
Stroke is the destruction of brain function and structure, and is caused by either cerebrovascular obstruction or rupture. It is a disease associated with high mortality and disability worldwide. Brain edema after stroke is an important factor affecting neurologic function recovery. The glymphatic system is a recently discovered cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) transport system. Through the perivascular space and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) on astrocytes, it promotes the exchange of CSF and interstitial fluid (ISF), clears brain metabolic waste, and maintains the stability of the internal environment within the brain. Excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain tissue causes cerebral edema, but the glymphatic system plays an important role in the process of both intake and removal of fluid within the brain. The changes in the glymphatic system after stroke may be an important contributor to brain edema. Understanding and targeting the molecular mechanisms and the role of the glymphatic system in the formation and regression of brain edema after stroke could promote the exclusion of fluids in the brain tissue and promote the recovery of neurological function in stroke patients. In this review, we will discuss the physiology of the glymphatic system, as well as the related mechanisms and therapeutic targets involved in the formation of brain edema after stroke, which could provide a new direction for research against brain edema after stroke.

Abstract
Background Cerebral edema is a common condition secondary to any type of neurological injury. The early diagnosis and monitoring of cerebral edema is of great importance to improve the prognosis. In this article, a flexible conformal electromagnetic two-coil sensor was employed as the electromagnetic induction sensor, associated with a vector network analyzer (VNA) for signal generation and receiving. Measurement of amplitude data over the frequency range of 1–100 MHz is conducted to evaluate the changes in cerebral edema. We proposed an Amplitude-based Characteristic Parameter Extraction (Ab-CPE) algorithm for multi-frequency characteristic analysis over the frequency range of 1–100 MHz and investigated its performance in electromagnetic induction-based cerebral edema detection and distinction of its acute/chronic phase. Fourteen rabbits were enrolled to establish cerebral edema model and the 24 h real-time monitoring experiments were carried out for algorithm verification. Results The proposed Ab-CPE algorithm was able to detect cerebral edema with a sensitivity of 94.1% and specificity of 95.4%. Also, in the early stage, it can detect cerebral edema with a sensitivity of 85.0% and specificity of 87.5%. Moreover, the Ab-CPE algorithm was able to distinguish between acute and chronic phase of cerebral edema with a sensitivity of 85.0% and specificity of 91.0%. Conclusion The proposed Ab-CPE algorithm is suitable for multi-frequency characteristic analysis. Combined with this algorithm, the electromagnetic induction method has an excellent performance on the detection and monitoring of cerebral edema.

Abstract
Danhong injection (DHI) is a compound Chinese medicine widely used in China for treatment of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, limited data are available regarding the protective effect of DHI on the ischemic penumbra in ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intravenous DHI on neuronal injure in the ischemic penumbra after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R), focusing especially on the involvement of intracellular energy metabolism coupling. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to right middle cerebral artery occlusion for 60 min followed by reperfusion with or without intravenous DHI (0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mL/kg) once daily for 7 days. Post-treatment with DHI ameliorated neurological defects, diminished cerebral infarction, alleviated cerebral edema, improved microcirculatory perfusion after 7days of reperfusion, and inhibited apoptosis and enhanced neuronal survival in the ischemic penumbra. In addition, DHI significantly ameliorated oxidative stress, reduced DNA damage, and inhibited the activation of PARP1/AIF pathway, thereby restoring cytoplasmic glycolytic activity. Furthermore, this drug increased PDH activity by inhibiting the HIF1α/PDK1 signaling pathway, thus eliminating the inhibitory effect of CI/R on mitochondrial metabolism. The results of this study suggest that DHI can alleviate cerebral edema after CI/R and rescue the ischemic penumbra, and these protective effects are due to the regulation of intracellular energy metabolic coupling.

Abstract
Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy pose a huge challenge to the socioeconomic stability of a community; being a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality during delivery. Although there have been recent improvements in management strategies, still, the diversified nature of the underlying pathogenesis undermines their effectiveness. Generally, these disorders are categorized into two; hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with proteinuria (pre-eclampsia and eclampsia) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy without proteinuria (gestational and chronic hypertension). Each of these conditions may present with unique characteristics that have interwoven symptoms. However, the tendency of occurrence heightens in the presence of any pre-existing life-threatening condition(s), environmental, and/or other genetic factors. Investigations into the cerebrovascular system demonstrate changes in the histoarchitectural organization of neurons, the proliferation of glial cells with an associated increase in inflammatory cytokines. These are oxidative stress indicators which impose a deteriorating impact on the structures that form the neurovascular unit and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Such a pathologic state distorts the homeostatic supply of blood into the brain, and enhances the permeability of toxins/pathogens through a process called hyperperfusion at the BBB. Furthermore, a notable aspect of the pathogenesis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is endothelial dysfunction aggravated when signaling of the vasoprotective molecule, nitric oxide, amongst other neurotransmitter regulatory activities are impaired. This review aims to discuss the alterations in cerebrovascular regulation that determine the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy.

Abstract
Transient global cerebral ischemia (tGCI) is a cerebrovascular disorder characterized by a brief decline in blood flow, neurological deficits, and is often predictive of stroke. Theobromine (TBR) is consumed worldwide in chocolates, tea, and cocoa products. TBR is a natural stimulant and vasoactive alkaloid that may protect against ischemic injury. In this study, neuroprotective potential of theobromine (TBR) was evaluated in 2-vessel occlusion transient global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (tGCI/R) rat model. Rats were treated with TBR (50, 100 mg/kg, p.o.) for 7 successive days, and subjected to bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (20 min) or sham surgery after last dose of TBR. Severe neurological deficits accompanied by brain infarction, blood-brain barrier abnormalities, and oedema were noted in rats subjected to tGCI/R, and these effects were prevented by TBR. TBR protected against lipid peroxidation and enhanced glutathione level in brain against tGCI/R. TBR pre-treatment for 7 days prevented tGCI/R induced cell death (lactate dehydrogenase, caspase-3), vascular injury (MMP-9), and inflammation (TNF-α, NFκB) in rat whole brain. TBR protected against glutamate excitotoxicity and GABAergic decline in the brain of rats against tGCI/R injury. Findings of this study showed that TBR can alleviate chances of stroke by preventing acute episodes of cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
Hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) is involved in regulating the biological functions of neuronal death after traumatic brain injury (TBI), and attaches importance in the inflammatory response, but its potential mechanism is still unknown. Our study aimed to explore the regulatory mechanism between HIF-1α and NLRP3 inflammasome after TBI. Male mice underwent controlled cortical impact (CCI) or sham-operated procedures. Brain water content and blood-brain barrier permeability were measured at the indicated time after TBI. The behavioral performance, ELISA, immunofluorescence, and western blot analysis were used to determine whether HIF-1α specifically targeted TBI-induced pyroptosis. We discovered that TBI-induced brain injury caused by external mechanical forces is characterized by edema and blood-brain barrier disorder, and the release of IL-1β, IL-18, and LDH and upregulation of HIF-1α expression, reaching the peak on the third day post-TBI. In addition, HIF-1α accumulated NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis and activation of microglia. The protein expressions of NLRP3, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, pro-caspase 1, and cleaved caspase 1 were markedly increased in the injured cortex, which were restored to normal levels by the interference of HIF-1α. The inactivation of HIF-1α conferred neuroprotection and alleviated brain injury after TBI. HIF-1α was implicated in TBI-induced brain injury, aggravated NLRP3 inflammasome -mediated pyroptosis, and the activation of microglia, which provided a potential target for treating TBI.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of mortality and chronic disability. Either recovery or progression towards irreversible failure of neurons and astrocytes occurs within minutes to days, depending on remaining perfusion levels. Initial damage arises from energy depletion resulting in a failure to maintain homeostasis and ion gradients between extra- and intracellular spaces. Astrocytes play a key role in these processes and are thus central players in the dynamics towards recovery or progression of stroke-induced brain damage. Here, we present a synopsis of the pivotal functions of astrocytes at the tripartite synapse, which form the basis of physiological brain functioning. We summarize the evidence of astrocytic failure and its consequences under ischemic conditions. Special emphasis is put on the homeostasis and stroke-induced dysregulation of the major monovalent ions, namely Na+, K+, H+, and Cl-, and their involvement in maintenance of cellular volume and generation of cerebral edema.

Abstract
Despite successful recanalization, a significant number of patients with ischemic stroke experience impaired local brain tissue reperfusion with adverse clinical outcome. The cause and mechanism of this multifactorial complication are yet to be understood. At the current moment, major attention is given to dysfunction in blood-brain barrier and capillary blood flow but contribution of exaggerated constriction of cerebral arterioles has also been suggested. In the brain, arterioles significantly contribute to vascular resistance and thus control of perfusion. Accordingly, pathological changes in arteriolar wall function can, therefore, limit sufficient reperfusion in ischemic stroke, but this has not yet received sufficient attention. Although an increased vascular tone after reperfusion has been demonstrated in several studies, the mechanism behind it remains to be characterized. Importantly, the majority of conventional mechanisms controlling vascular contraction failed to explain elevated cerebrovascular tone after reperfusion. We propose here that the Na,K-ATPase-dependent Src kinase activation are the key mechanisms responsible for elevation of cerebrovascular tone after reperfusion. The Na,K-ATPase, which is essential to control intracellular ion homeostasis, also executes numerous signaling functions. Under hypoxic conditions, the Na,K-ATPase is endocytosed from the membrane of vascular smooth muscle cells. This initiates the Src kinase signaling pathway that sensitizes the contractile machinery to intracellular Ca2+ resulting in hypercontractility of vascular smooth muscle cells and, thus, elevated cerebrovascular tone that can contribute to impaired reperfusion after stroke. This mechanism integrates with cerebral edema that was suggested to underlie impaired reperfusion and is further supported by several studies, which are discussed in this article. However, final demonstration of the molecular mechanism behind Src kinase-associated arteriolar hypercontractility in stroke remains to be done.

Abstract
The lymphatic drainage system of the central nervous system (CNS) plays an important role in maintaining interstitial fluid balance and regulating immune responses and immune surveillance. The impaired lymphatic drainage system of the CNS might be involved in the onset and progression of various neurodegenerative diseases, neuroinflammation, and cerebrovascular diseases. A significant immune response and brain edema are observed after stroke, resulting from disrupted homeostasis in the brain. Thus, understanding the lymphatic drainage system of the CNS in stroke may lead to the development of new approaches for therapeutic interventions in the future. Here, we review recent evidence implicating the lymphatic drainage system of the CNS in stroke.
