Abstract
Recent studies have shown systemic inflammatory response, serum glucose, and serum potassium are associated with poor prognosis in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association of systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and serum glucose-potassium ratio (GPR) with the severity of disease and the poor prognosis of patients with SICH at 3 months after hospital discharge. We reviewed the clinical data of 105 patients with SICH, assessed the extent of their disease using Glasgow Coma Scale score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and hematoma volume, and categorized them into a good prognosis group (0-3 scores) and a poor prognosis group (4-6 scores) based on their mRS scores at 3 months after hospital discharge. Demographic characteristics, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data at admission were compared between the 2 groups, bivariate correlations were analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficients, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor prognosis of patients with SICH, and finally, SII, GPR, and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were examined using the subject's work characteristics (ROC) curve, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for their predictive efficacy for poor prognosis. Patients in the poor prognosis group had significantly higher SII and serum GPR than those in the good prognosis group, and Spearman analysis showed that SII and serum GPR were significantly correlated with the admission Glasgow Coma Scale score as well as the NIHSS score and that SII and GPR increased with the increase in mRS score. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that admission NIHSS score, hematoma volume SII, GPR, NLR, and PLR were independently associated with poor patient prognosis. Analysis of the subjects' work characteristic curves showed that the areas under the SII, GPR, NLR, PLR, LMR, and coSII-GPR curves were 0.838, 0.837, 0.825, 0.718, 0.616, and 0.883. SII and GRP were significantly associated with disease severity and short-term prognosis in SICH patients 3 months after discharge, and SII and GPR had better predictive value compared with NLR, PLR, and LMR. In addition, coSII-GPR, a joint indicator based on SII and GPR, can improve the predictive accuracy of poor prognosis 3 months after discharge in patients with SICH.

Distinct Cerebrospinal Fluid Lipid Signature in Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage-Induced Hydrocephalus. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2360. [PMID: 37760800 PMCID: PMC10525923 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11092360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may develop posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), which is treated with surgical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion. This diversion is associated with risk of infection and shunt failure. Biomarkers for PHH etiology, CSF dynamics disturbances, and potentially subsequent shunt dependency are therefore in demand. With the recent demonstration of lipid-mediated CSF hypersecretion contributing to PHH, exploration of the CSF lipid signature in relation to brain pathology is of interest. Despite being a relatively new addition to the omic's landscape, lipidomics are increasingly recognized as a tool for biomarker identification, as they provide a comprehensive overview of lipid profiles in biological systems. We here employ an untargeted mass spectroscopy-based platform and reveal the complete lipid profile of cisternal CSF from healthy control subjects and demonstrate its bimodal fluctuation with age. Various classes of lipids, in addition to select individual lipids, were elevated in the ventricular CSF obtained from patients with SAH during placement of an external ventricular drain. The lipidomic signature of the CSF in the patients with SAH suggests dysregulation of the lipids in the CSF in this patient group. Our data thereby reveal possible biomarkers present in a brain pathology with a hemorrhagic event, some of which could be potential future biomarkers for hypersecretion contributing to ventriculomegaly and thus pharmacological targets for pathologies involving disturbed CSF dynamics.

[PMID: 37484257 PMCID: PMC10361026 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e16937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to determine whether SII on different days of admission is associated with severity and 180-day functional outcomes after basal ganglia ICH. Methods In this retrospective study, data on baseline CT imaging characteristics, mRS, hematoma volume, and laboratory variables were included. The SII and NLR, LMR, and PLR were calculated from laboratory data collected on admission day, day 1, and days 5-7. Both univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between the SII and the outcome. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and area under the curve (AUC) were also used to evaluate the ability of the SII to predict outcomes. Result A total of 245 patients were enrolled in the study. On different days, the NLR, PLR, and SII were significantly lower in patients with favorable outcomes than in those with poor outcomes, and the volume of hemorrhage was positively correlated with the SII. These parameters were associated with outcomes in the univariate logistic regression. In the adjusted analyses, the SII and PLR were independent predictors of basal ganglia ICH outcomes. ROC analysis revealed that the SII showed a stronger ability to predict the 6-month outcomes of patients after basal ganglia ICH than the PLR on different days (AUC = 0.642, 0.804, 0.827 vs. 0.592, 0.725, 0.757; all P < 0.001). Conclusion The SII independently and strongly predicts the outcome of basal ganglia ICH. A high SII was associated with poor 6-month outcomes in patients with basal ganglia ICH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic hydrocephalus may develop as a sequela of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, requiring long-term cerebrospinal fluid shunting. Several clinical predictors of chronic hydrocephalus and shunt dependence have been proposed. However, no anatomical predictors have been identified. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed including 61 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical characteristics were noted for each patient including presentation World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade, modified Fischer grade, aneurysm characteristics, requirement for acute and chronic cerebrospinal fluid diversion, and 3-month modified Rankin scale. CT images were evaluated to determine the Evans' index and to enumerate the number of arachnoid granulations. Association between the clinical characteristics with ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion and the 3-month modified Rankin scale were assessed. RESULTS The initial Evans' index was positively associated with mFisher grade and age, but not the number of arachnoid granulations. 16.4% patients required insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The number of arachnoid granulations were a significant negative predictor of ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion [OR: 0.251 (95% CI:0.073-0.862; p = 0.028)]. There was significant difference in the number of arachnoid granulations between those with and without ventriculoperitoneal shunt (p = 0.002). No patient with greater than 4 arachnoid granulations required a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, irrespective of severity of initial grade. CONCLUSION Arachnoid granulations may be protective against the development of shunt dependent chronic hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This is irrespective of presenting hemorrhage severity. This is a potentially novel radiologic biomarker and anatomic predictor of shunt dependence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to develop a prediction score named inflammatory score based on proper integration of several inflammatory markers and investigate whether it was associated with hematoma expansion and poor outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS This study involved a consecutive series of spontaneous ICH patients of two cohorts admitted within 24 hours after symptom onset. Inflammatory score (0-9) was developed with the combination of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, systemic immune-inflammation index, lactate dehydrogenase, and C-reactive protein. The authors investigated the association between inflammatory score and hematoma expansion and poor outcomes by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The optimal cutoff point of inflammatory score was determined by receiver operating characteristic analysis in the development cohort and then validated. RESULTS A total of 301 and 154 ICH patients were enrolled in the development and validation cohorts. Inflammatory score was significantly higher in patients with hematoma expansion and poor outcomes. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed inflammatory score was independently associated with hematoma expansion, secondary neurological deterioration within 48 hours, 30-day mortality, and 3-month poor modified Rankin scale (4-6). The diagnostic accuracy of inflammatory score exhibited by area under the curve showed numerically or statistically higher than most of the individual indicators. Moreover, inflammatory score greater than or equal to 5 was selected as the optimal cutoff point, which was further prospectively validated with high diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSIONS The inflammatory score is a reliable predictor for early hematoma expansion and short-term and long-term poor outcomes with good diagnostic accuracies in ICH patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), once a variable triad of septum pellucidum defects (SPDs), optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH), and hypopituitarism, has had multiple findings added, with uncertain causes, definitions, and limits. METHOD Literature review. RESULTS SOD is a complex vascular sequence with confounders. CONCLUSIONS Proximal anterior cerebral artery trunk disruptions cause overlapping primary effects, giving ONH alone most often, and isolated SPD less. ONH disruptions can spread to pituitary, SPD disruptions to the cerebral cortex, causing schizencephaly and related anomalies. Pituitary defects are rare without ONH, and cortical findings are rare without SPD. Extensions are unidirectional, so isolated pituitary or cortical defects are separate from SOD. Micro- an- ophthalmia, a suggested ONH variant, is not part of SOD. Disruption by-products can affect development, causing cognitive and endocrine issues, and structural anomalies such as corpus callosum thinning, ventriculomegaly, and hippocampal and olfactory findings. Limbic extensions may also contribute to the same structural defects as by-products. Midline CNS developmental anomalies can act as disruptive foci, most likely through vascular variants, but have separate pathogenesis. Relative frequencies of specific pituitary hormone defects change as SOD rates increase. Increasing relative rates of midline CNS developmental defects and cortical anomalies are consistent with rising levels of exogenous exposures sensitizing to midline predispositions.

Abstract
Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) is a common complication in preterm infants and is associated with high risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. We used a rat GMH model and performed RNA sequencing to investigate the signaling pathways and biological processes following hemorrhage. GMH induced brain injury characterized by early hematoma and subsequent tissue loss. At 6 hours after GMH, gene expression indicated an increase in mitochondrial activity such as ATP metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation along with upregulation of cytoprotective pathways and heme metabolism. At 24 hours after GMH, the expression pattern suggested an increase in cell cycle progression and downregulation of neurodevelopmental-related pathways. At 72 hours after GMH, there was an increase in genes related to inflammation and an upregulation of ferroptosis. Hemoglobin components and genes related to heme metabolism and ferroptosis such as Hmox1, Alox15, and Alas2 were among the most upregulated genes. We observed dysregulation of processes involved in development, mitochondrial function, cholesterol biosynthesis, and inflammation, all of which contribute to neurodevelopmental deterioration following GMH. This study is the first temporal transcriptome profile providing a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying brain injury following GMH, and it provides useful guidance in the search for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a subtype of stroke which has high mortality and morbidity, while comprehensive mechanism investigations and effective therapies are still in great need. Plenty of studies have shown that inflammation after stroke plays a critical role in disease outcomes. However, the inflammation after IVH remains unclear. This study aims to observe the immune response after IVH, thus providing therapeutic targets for IVH treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS IVH was induced by autologous blood infusion model in SD rats. Totally 588 rats were assigned either in the sham or IVH group. T2* lesion and hemoglobin quantities, ventricular volume, brain edema, ventricular wall damage, blood-brain-barrier (BBB) continuity and immune response were observed by magnetic resonance image (MRI), hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE), Evans Blue, flow cytometry (FACS), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at baseline, 6 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d after surgery. RESULTS We found that ventricular volume enlargement occurred hours after IVH and peaked at 3 d after IVH, then mildly reduced till 14 d. Similar changes happened in brain edema, ventricular wall damage and BBB leakage. Immune cells and cytokines in the central nervous system and peripheral blood also increased after IVH and experienced similar trends as ventricular enlargement. T2* lesion and hemoglobin degradation occurred 6 h after IVH and kept decreasing till 14 d after IVH. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation illustrates that immune response exists after IVH, which may have a close relationship with disease outcomes. These results may provide promising immune related clues for mechanism and intervention studies in IVH.

Abstract
During the last decade, an increasing number of studies have been conducted to improve the outcome of post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), a complication of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants. Two randomized controlled trials have shown that treatment should be initiated prior to the onset of clinical symptoms. Ventricular access devices and subgaleal shunts are used as temporary neurosurgical interventions whereas ventriculoperitoneal shunts are performed for infants with progressive hydrocephalus. Recently, techniques such as neuro-endoscopic lavage have also been introduced to eliminate toxic blood products and debris from the cerebral ventricles and have shown promise in early clinical studies. The objective of this review is to provide an update on management of PHVD and PHH in the preterm infant.

Metformin Alleviates Delayed Hydrocephalus after Intraventricular Hemorrhage by Inhibiting Inflammation and Fibrosis. Transl Stroke Res 2022; 14:364-382.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a subtype of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with high morbidity and mortality. Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) is a common and major complication that affects prognosis, but the mechanism is still unclear. Inflammation and fibrosis have been well established as the major causes of PHH after IVH. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of metformin on IVH in adult male mice and further explored the underlying molecular mechanisms of these effects. In the acute phase, metformin treatment exerted dose-dependent neuroprotective effects by reducing periependymal apoptosis and neuronal degeneration and decreasing brain edema. Moreover, high-dose metformin reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and the release of proinflammatory factors, thus protecting ependymal structure integrity and subependymal neurons. In the chronic phase, metformin administration improved neurocognitive function and reduced delayed hydrocephalus. Additionally, metformin significantly inhibited basal subarachnoid fibrosis and ependymal glial scarring. The ependymal structures partially restored. Mechanically, IVH reduced phospho-AMPK (p-AMPK) and SIRT1 expression and activated the phospho-NF-κB (p-NF-κB) inflammatory signaling pathway. However, metformin treatment increased AMPK/SIRT1 expression and lowered the protein expression of p-NF-κB and its downstream inflammation. Compound C and EX527 administration reversed the anti-inflammatory effect of metformin. In conclusion, metformin attenuated neuroinflammation and subsequent fibrosis after IVH by regulating AMPK /SIRT1/ NF-κB pathways, thereby reducing delayed hydrocephalus. Metformin may be a promising therapeutic agent to prevent delayed hydrocephalus following IVH.

Abstract
There is lacking research on risk factors and prediction models associated with Post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). Thus, this present study aimed to analyze the risk factors of PHH and establish a risk-scoring system through a large-scale study. A retrospective study of 382 patients with intracranial hemorrhage assessed age, history and diagnosis, Glasgow coma score (GCS), and fever time. After univariate and logistic regression analysis, a risk scoring system was established according to independent risk factors and evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC). Of the 382 patients, 133 (34.8%) had PHH, 43 (11.3%) received surgical treatment. Factor classification showed that age > 60 years old [odds ratio (OR): 0.347, II = 5 points], GCS < 5 (OR: 0.09, IV = 10 points), GCS 6‒8 (OR = 0.232, III = 6 points), fever time > 9 (OR: 0.202, III = 7 points), fever time 5-9 (OR: 0.341, II = 5 points), CSF-TP x time > 14,4000 group (OR: 0.267, IV = 6 points), and CSF-TP x time 9,601‒14,400 group (OR: 0.502, III = 3 points) were independent risk factors. The result of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) prediction showed that AUC = 0.790 (0.744‒0.836). Low-risk (IV-VII), moderate (VIII-X), and high-risk group (XI-XIII) incidence of PHH were 11.76%, 50.55%, and 70.00% (p < 0.001), respectively. The coincidence rates in the validation cohort were 26.00%, 74.07%, and 100.0% (p < 0.001), respectively. AUC value was 0.860 (0.780‒0.941). The predictive model was conducive to determining the occurrence of PHH and facilitating early intervention.

Abstract
Prenatal CNS disruptions can be associated with physically separate findings. Examples include cognitive issues in septo-optic dysplasia and sporadic and WNT1-related unilateral cerebellar hypoplasia, and physical findings such as thinning of the corpus callosum, ventriculomegaly, hippocampal abnormalities, olfactory tract and bulb hypoplasia, and distant cortical dysplasias with schizencephaly. Similar effects to toxicities with intraventricular hemorrhage in prematurity could occur earlier in development. CSF transportation of disruption by-products would provide access to vulnerable areas through inflammatory effects on blood-brain barrier permeability. Outcomes are influenced by location and volume of byproducts in the CSF, timing, transport, and inflammatory responses. A particular association of vermis disruption with cognitive issues may be related to CSF flow distortions that avoid toxin dilutions in the third ventricle. Symmetrical contralateral cortical dysplasia with schizencephaly may reflect immunovascular field-related vulnerabilities seen in situations such as vitiligo.

Abstract
ObjectiveThere is no general consensus on the placement of preoperative and intraoperative external ventricular drainage (EVD) in patients with lateral ventricular tumors (LVTs). The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of postoperative acute and persistent hydrocephalus need for postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage and guide the management of postoperative EVD in patients with LVTs.MethodsWe performed a single-institution, retrospective analysis of patients who underwent resection of LVTs in our Department between January 2011 and March 2021. Patients were divided between one group that required CSF drainage and another group without the need for CSF drainage. We analyzed the two groups by univariate and multivariate analyses to identify the predictors of the requirement for postoperative CSF drainage due to symptomatic intracranial hypertension caused by hydrocephalus.ResultsA total of 97 patients met the inclusion criteria, of which 31 patients received preoperative or intraoperative EVD. Ten patients without prophylactic EVD received postoperative EVD for postoperative acute hydrocephalus. Eleven patients received postoperative ventriculoperitoneal(VP) shunt subsequently. Logistic regression analysis showed that tumor invasion of the anterior ventricle (OR = 7.66), transependymal edema (OR = 8.76), and a large volume of postoperative intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (OR = 6.51) were independent risk factors for postoperative acute hydrocephalus. Perilesional edema (OR = 33.95) was an independent risk factor for postoperative VP shunt due to persistent hydrocephalus.ConclusionPostoperative hydrocephalus is a common complication in patients with LVTs. These findings might help to determine whether to conduct earlier interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting data exist regarding the association of perihematomal edema (PHE) with outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We performed a post hoc analysis of the ICH Deferoxamine trial to examine whether an early change in ventricular size (VS), as a composite measure of PHE growth and mass effect, intraventricular hemorrhage, and hydrocephalus, is a more accurate predictor of outcome than PHE measures alone. METHODS Computerized tomography scans were performed at baseline and after 72-96 h. We evaluated measures of PHE and change in VS as predictors of outcome, assessed by a dichotomized modified Rankin Scale score (0-2 versus 3-6), primarily at 90 days and secondarily at 30 days. A multivariable logistic regression model was fitted for each predictor, with adjustment for the same confounders. RESULTS A total of 248 participants were included after we excluded those requiring external ventricular drains. On univariate analyses, older age, female sex, lower Glasgow Coma Scale score and baseline temperature, greater ICH volume, absolute PHE volume, edema extension distance at presentation, lesser changes in relative PHE volume and edema extension distance, and an increase in VS were associated with poor outcome. In multivariable analyses, only the increase in VS was associated with lower odds of modified Rankin Scale scores 0-2 at 90 days (odds ratio 0.927, 95% confidence interval 0.866-0.970, p = 0.001) and 30 days (odds ratio 0.931, 95% confidence interval 0.888-0.975, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Within the context of a randomized controlled trial with standardized imaging and functional assessments, we did not find significant associations between measures of PHE and outcome but documented an independent association between early increase in VS and lower odds of good clinical outcome.

Abstract
ObjectiveThis study aims to identify the predictors of postoperative hydrocephalus in patients with posterior fossa tumors (PFTs) and guide the management of perioperative hydrocephalus.MethodsWe performed a single-institution, retrospective analysis of patients who underwent resection of PFTs in our department over a 10-year period (2011–2021). A total of 682 adult patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into either a prophylactic external ventricular drainage (EVD) group or a nonprophylactic-EVD group. We analyzed data for the nonprophylactic-EVD group by univariate and multivariate analyses to identify predictors of postoperative acute hydrocephalus. We also analyzed all cases by univariate and multivariate analyses to determine the predictors of postoperative ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement.ResultsTumor infiltrating the midbrain aqueduct [P = 0.001; odds ratio (OR) = 9.8], postoperative hemorrhage (P < 0.001; OR = 66.7), and subtotal resection (P = 0.006; OR = 9.3) were independent risk factors for postoperative EVD. Tumor infiltrating the ventricular system (P < 0.001; OR = 58.5) and postoperative hemorrhage (P < 0.001; OR = 28.1) were independent risk factors for postoperative VP shunt placement.ConclusionsThese findings may help promote more aggressive monitoring and earlier interventions for postoperative hydrocephalus in patients with PFTs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review most recent literature on management of blood pressure in acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and provide practice recommendations for the emergency clinician. RECENT FINDINGS There is increased risk of aneurysmal rebleeding with systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than 160 mmHg in the acute setting. Avoiding large degrees of blood pressure variability improves clinical outcomes in aneurysmal SAH. Acute lowering of SBP to a range of 140-160 mmHg decreases risk of rebleeding while also maintaining cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) after aneurysmal rupture. Treatment with a short acting antihypertensive agent allows for rapid titration of blood pressure (BP) and reduces BP variability. Elevations in intracranial pressure occur commonly after SAH due to increased intracranial blood volume, cerebral edema, or development of hydrocephalus. Clinicians should be familiar with changes in cerebral autoregulation and effects on CPP when treating elevated BP, in order to mitigate the risk of secondary neurological injury.

Abstract
Objective Cerebrospinal fluid total protein (CSF-TP) levels in adults with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) are poorly studied. The objective of this study was to explore the characteristics of CSF-TP levels in patients with PHH. Methods The clinical data of 156 patients with hemorrhagic brain disease were retrospectively studied and divided into PHH and NPHH groups. Single-factor and multi-factor analyses were performed, and the key role of CSF-TP was evaluated using linear analysis. Results Among the 156 patients, 85 (54.5%) had PHH and 34 (21.8%) underwent surgeries. Hypertension (p = 0.017), days [total fever time when body temperature ≥ 38.5°C (p = 0.04)], Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (p < 0.001), and time (from the onset of the disease to the obtainment of CSF-TP after lumbar puncture (p < 0.001) were important factors for PHH. Logistic regression analysis revealed that GCS score < 8 [odds ratio (OR) = 2.943 (1.421–6.097), p = 0.004] and CSF-TP × time ≥ 9,600 [OR = 2.317 (1.108–4.849), p = 0.026] were independent risk factors for PHH. All CSF-TP values were averaged every 2 days. CSF-TP was negatively correlated with time. Linear analysis showed that CSF-TP in the PHH group was higher than that in the NPHH group at the same onset time, and that the duration of detectionin the CSF was longer. Conclusion Cerebrospinal fluid total protein (CSF-TP) × time ≥ 9,600 and GCS score <8 were independent risk factors for PHH. CSF-TP was higher in the PHH group than in the NPHH group.

Abstract
Hydrocephalus is a common complication of hemorrhagic stroke and has been reported to contribute to poor neurological outcomes. Herein, we aimed to investigate the validity of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) data in predicting shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (SDHC) in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. PubMed, CENTRAL, and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies published through July 31, 2021. The 16 studies with 1505 patient included those in which CSF data predicted risk for SDHC and reports on CSF parameters in patients in whom SDHC or hydrocephalus that was not shunt-dependent developed following hemorrhagic stroke. We appraised the study quality using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and conducted a meta-analysis of the pooled estimates of the CSF predictors. The meta-analysis revealed three significant CSF predictors for shunt dependency, i.e., higher protein levels (mean difference [MD] = 32.09 mg/dL, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 25.48-38.70, I2 = 0%), higher levels of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1; MD = 0.52 ng/mL, 95% CI = 0.42-0.62, I2 = 0%), and higher ferritin levels (MD = 108.87 µg/dL, 95% CI = 56.68-161.16, I2 = 36%). The red blood cell count, lactate level, and glucose level in CSF were not significant in predicting SDHC in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Therefore, higher protein, TGF-β1, and ferritin levels in CSF are significant predictors for SDHC in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Measuring these CSF parameters would help in the early recognition of SDHC risk in clinical care.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage is recognized as a leading cause of hydrocephalus in the developed world and a key determinant of neurodevelopmental outcome following premature birth. Even in the absence of haemorrhagic infarction or posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus, there is increasing evidence of neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental sequelae. The pathophysiology underlying this injury is thought to be due to a primary destructive and secondary developmental insult, but the exact mechanisms remain elusive and this has resulted in a paucity of therapeutic interventions. The presence of blood within the cerebrospinal fluid results in the loss of the delicate neurohumoral gradient within the developing brain, adversely impacting on the tightly regulated temporal and spatial control of cell proliferation and migration of the neural stem progenitor cells within the subventricular zone. In addition, haemolysis of the erythrocytes, associated with the release of clotting factors and leucocytes into the cerebrospinal (CSF), results in a toxic and inflammatory CSF microenvironment which is harmful to the periventricular tissues, resulting in damage and denudation of the multiciliated ependymal cells which line the choroid plexus and ventricular system. The ependyma plays a critical role in the developing brain and beyond, acting as both a protector and gatekeeper to the underlying parenchyma, controlling influx and efflux across the CSF to brain interstitial fluid interface. In this review I explore the hypothesis that damage and denudation of the ependymal layer at this critical juncture in the developing brain, seen following IVH, may adversely impact on the brain microenvironment, exposing the underlying periventricular tissues to toxic and inflammatory CSF, further exacerbating disordered activity within the subventricular zone (SVZ). By understanding the impact that intraventricular hemorrhage has on the microenvironment within the CSF, and the consequences that this has on the multiciliated ependymal cells which line the neuraxis, we can begin to develop and test novel therapeutic interventions to mitigate damage and reduce the associated morbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Iron has been implicated in the pathogenesis of brain injury and hydrocephalus after preterm germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage, however, it is unknown how external or endogenous intraventricular clearance of iron pathway proteins affect the outcome in this group. METHODS This prospective multicenter cohort included patients with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) who underwent (1) temporary and permanent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion and (2) Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III testing around 2 years of age. CSF proteins in the iron handling pathway were analyzed longitudinally and compared to ventricle size and neurodevelopmental outcomes. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients met inclusion criteria with a median estimated gestational age at birth of 25 weeks; 65% were boys. Ventricular CSF levels of hemoglobin, iron, total bilirubin, and ferritin decreased between temporary and permanent CSF diversion with no change in CSF levels of ceruloplasmin, transferrin, haptoglobin, and hepcidin. There was an increase in CSF hemopexin during this interval. Larger ventricle size at permanent CSF diversion was associated with elevated CSF ferritin (p = 0.015) and decreased CSF hemopexin (p = 0.007). CSF levels of proteins at temporary CSF diversion were not associated with outcome, however, higher CSF transferrin at permanent CSF diversion was associated with improved cognitive outcome (p = 0.015). Importantly, longitudinal change in CSF iron pathway proteins, ferritin (decrease), and transferrin (increase) were associated with improved cognitive (p = 0.04) and motor (p = 0.03) scores and improved cognitive (p = 0.04), language (p = 0.035), and motor (p = 0.008) scores, respectively. INTERPRETATION Longitudinal changes in CSF transferrin (increase) and ferritin (decrease) are associated with improved neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonatal PHH, with implications for understanding the pathogenesis of poor outcomes in PHH.

Abstract
Objectives: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating type of strokes that carries high mortality rates, but effective therapeutic options are still lacking. Here, the adult rat model of ICH was used to investigate the efficacy of a combinational therapy of deferoxamine (DFX) and minocycline.Methods: The ICH was induced by stereotaxic infusion of collagenase into striatum of adult rats. After the induction of ICH, rats were treated with intraperitoneal injection of deferoxamine (50 mg/kg), minocycline (45 mg/kg), or both agents, at 2 hours after ICH and then every 12 hours for up to 3 days. The vehicle group were treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) only. Rats were killed at 1, 2, and 3 day(s) for examination of iron deposition, neuronal death, neurological deficits, the area of brain damage, activation of microglia/macrophages.Results: Our data revealed that the systemic administration of DFX and/or minocycline decreased iron accumulation. And immunofluorescence staining results indicated that drug-treated group significantly decreased the neuronal degeneration, the number of activated microglia/macrophages and the amount of cell death after ICH. In addition, neurological deficits caused by ICH were improved in the presence of DFX and/or minocycline compare with vehicle group. Furthermore, the combination treatment showed better effects in neuroprotection and anti-inflammation when compared to the monotherapy groups.Conclusions: The combination therapy significantly reduces the number of neuronal deaths, suppresses of the activation of microglia/macrophages, decreases iron accumulation in the area around the hematoma, lessening the brain damage area, and improving neurological deficits in ICH.

Front Neurol 2021; 12:628557. [PMID: 34113303 PMCID: PMC8185273 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.628557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose: The systemic immune–inflammation index (SII) is a novel prognostic index in various diseases. We evaluated the predictive value of SII in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: Patients with primary spontaneous ICH were enrolled. SII was constructed based on peripheral platelet (P), neutrophil (N), and lymphocyte (L) and defined as P*N/L. In addition to admission testing, acute phase SII was collected to analyze the potential dynamic change. Poor outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale of more than 3 at 90 days. Results: We included 291 patients; 98 (34%) achieved favorable functional outcomes. Day-1 SII was higher and was more related to poor outcome than was admission SII. Median time of day-1 SII was 29 h from onset. Day-1 SII had an OR in outcome (mRS >3) 1.74 (95% CI = 1.03–3.00, p = 0.04). The binary cutoff point of SII calculated using the area under the curve (AUC) method was 1,700 × 109/L, AUC 0.699 (95% CI = 0.627–0.774) (sensitivity 53.3%, specificity 77.3%) (OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.09–5.26, p = 0.03). Conclusions: SII, especially day-1 SII, was highly associated with 90-day functional outcome in patients with ICH and could be used to predict outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) fibrinolysis did not improve functional outcomes of patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), largely because of the unsatisfactory clot clearance. The presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) within the clot has been confirmed to impair tPA fibrinolysis, but the mechanism has been unclear. The authors hypothesized that cell-free DNA (cfDNA), the main framework of NETs, might be the important reason for the fibrinolysis resistance, and they validated the hypothesis, hoping to provide a new target to promote intraventricular fibrinolysis. METHODS First, cfDNA was detected in IVH clots by immunofluorescence staining in a rat model of IVH. Second, after blood (with or without exogenous cfDNA) intraventricular injection, IVH rats were given intraventricular infusion of 2 μl of saline, tPA, or tPA + DNase1 randomly. Then, the ventricular volume, animal behavior, and reactive astrocyte proliferation were assessed. Third, the IVH clots were collected for fibrinolysis assay in vitro. Finally, the effects of exogenous cfDNA in IVH were evaluated. RESULTS The presence of cfDNA in clots was observed as early as 1 hour after IVH. Compared with the whole-blood model, blood + cfDNA caused more severe ventricular dilation (day 7: blood 32.47 ± 2.096 mm3 vs blood + DNA 40.09 ± 2.787 mm3, p < 0.05), increased fibrinolysis resistance to tPA (day 7: tPA + DNA 26.04 ± 1.318 mm3 vs tPA 22.15 ± 1.706 mm3, p < 0.05), and further deteriorated the functional defects in rats (blood vs blood + DNA, p < 0.05). Degradation of cfDNA by DNase1 further enhanced the fibrinolysis effects on relieving the ventricular dilation (day 7: tPA + DNase1 11.67 ± 2.023 mm3 vs tPA, p < 0.05), improving the functional outcome (tPA vs tPA + DNase1, p < 0.05) and reducing periventricular astrocyte proliferation. CONCLUSIONS cfDNA impaired tPA fibrinolysis for IVH, and degradation of cfDNA may be a new target to improve this condition.

Abstract
Congenital hydrocephalus (CH) is caused by genetic mutations, but whether factors impacting human genetic mutations are disease-specific remains elusive. Given two factors associated with high mutation rates, we reviewed how many disease-susceptible genes match with (i) proximity to telomeres or (ii) high adenine and thymine (A + T) content in human CH as compared to other disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). We extracted genomic information using a genome data viewer. Importantly, 98 of 108 genes causing CH satisfied (i) or (ii), resulting in >90% matching rate. However, such a high accordance no longer sustained as we checked two factors in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and/or familial Parkinson's disease (fPD), resulting in 84% and 59% matching, respectively. A disease-specific matching of telomere proximity or high A + T content predicts causative genes of CH much better than neurodegenerative diseases and other CNS conditions, likely due to sufficient number of known causative genes (n = 108) and precise determination and classification of the genotype and phenotype. Our analysis suggests a need for identifying genetic basis of both factors before human clinical studies, to prioritize putative genes found in preclinical models into the likely (meeting at least one) and more likely candidate (meeting both), which predisposes human genes to mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most devastating neurological complications in preterm infants, with the majority suffering long-term neurological morbidity and up to 50% developing post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). Despite the importance of this disease, its cytopathological mechanisms are not well known. An in vitro model of IVH is required to investigate the effects of blood and its components on the developing ventricular zone (VZ) and its stem cell niche. To address this need, we developed a protocol from our accepted in vitro model to mimic the cytopathological conditions of IVH in the preterm infant. METHODS Maturing neuroepithelial cells from the VZ were harvested from the entire lateral ventricles of wild type C57BL/6 mice at 1-4 days of age and expanded in proliferation media for 3-5 days. At confluence, cells were re-plated onto 24-well plates in differentiation media to generate ependymal cells (EC). At approximately 3-5 days, which corresponded to the onset of EC differentiation based on the appearance of multiciliated cells, phosphate-buffered saline for controls or syngeneic whole blood for IVH was added to the EC surface. The cells were examined for the expression of EC markers of differentiation and maturation to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the effect of blood exposure on VZ transition from neuroepithelial cells to EC. DISCUSSION This protocol will allow investigators to test cytopathological mechanisms contributing to the pathology of IVH with high temporal resolution and query the impact of injury to the maturation of the VZ. This technique recapitulates features of normal maturation of the VZ in vitro, offering the capacity to investigate the developmental features of VZ biogenesis.

Abstract
The protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) pathway, which is a branch of the unfolded protein response, participates in a range of pathophysiological processes of neurological diseases. However, few studies have investigated the role of the PERK in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The present study evaluated the role of the PERK pathway during the early phase of ICH-induced secondary brain injury (SBI) and its potential mechanisms. An autologous whole blood ICH model was established in rats, and cultured primary cortical neurons were treated with oxyhemoglobin to mimic ICH in vitro. We found that levels of phosphorylated alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (p-eIF2α) and activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) increased significantly and peaked at 12 h during the early phase of the ICH. To further elucidate the role of the PERK pathway, we assessed the effects of the PERK inhibitor, GSK2606414, and the eIF2α dephosphorylation antagonist, salubrinal, at 12 h after ICH both in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of PERK with GSK2606414 suppressed the protein levels of p-eIF2α and ATF4, resulting in increase of transcriptional activator CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12, which promoted apoptosis and reduced neuronal survival. Treatment with salubrinal yielded opposite results, which suggested that activation of the PERK pathway could promote neuronal survival and reduce apoptosis. In conclusion, the present study has demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of the PERK pathway during the early phase of ICH-induced SBI. These findings highlight the potential value of PERK pathway as a therapeutic target for ICH.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is the most common cause of pediatric hydrocephalus in North America but remains poorly understood. Cell junction-mediated ventricular zone (VZ) disruption and astrogliosis are associated with the pathogenesis of congenital, nonhemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Recently, our group demonstrated that VZ disruption is also present in preterm infants with IVH. On the basis of this observation, we hypothesized that blood triggers the loss of VZ cell junction integrity and related cytopathology. In order to test this hypothesis, we developed an in vitro model of IVH by applying syngeneic blood to cultured VZ cells obtained from newborn mice. Following blood treatment, cells were assayed for N-cadherin-dependent adherens junctions, ciliated ependymal cells, and markers of glial activation using immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. After 24-48 hours of exposure to blood, VZ cell junctions were disrupted as determined by a significant reduction in N-cadherin expression (p < 0.05). This was also associated with significant decrease in multiciliated cells and increase in glial fibrillary acid protein-expressing cells (p < 0.05). These observations suggest that, in vitro, blood triggers VZ cell loss and glial activation in a pattern that mirrors the cytopathology of human IVH and supports the relevance of this in vitro model to define injury mechanisms.

Abstract
Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) results from the rupture of the immature thin-walled blood vessels and consequent bleeding into the subependymal germinal matrix and possible lateral ventricles. The purpose of this study is to investigate how astrogliosis impacts the glymphatic-meningeal lymphatic system in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reabsorption after GMH and how the anti-scarring agent olomoucine attenuates post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. GMH was induced by stereotaxic collagenase infusion into P7 Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to assess astrogliosis and how astrogliosis affects glymphatic function by measuring Aquaporin-4 expression. Intracisternal injection of fluorescence tracer was used to measure CSF diffusion throughout the brain, its dispersion in the paravascular area and CSF drainage into the deep cervical lymph nodes at 28 days after GMH. Both short-term and long-term behavioral tests were used to assess the neurological outcomes. Nissl staining was used to assess the morphological changes at 28 days after hemorrhage. GMH elicited astrogliotic scarring and reduced the exchange between CSF and interstitial fluid, as well as CSF reabsorption through the meningeal lymphatic vessels. This might be associated with redistribution of Aquaporin-4. Olomoucine ameliorated scar tissue formation and attenuated post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. These findings of this study suggested that the glymphatic system might play a role in CSF reabsorption in neonates following GMH. Scar tissue formation impairs this CSF clearance route, and therefore astrogliosis inhibition might be a potential therapeutic strategy for neonatal post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus.

Abstract
Hemopexin (Hpx) is critical for hemin scavenging after the erythrocyte lysis that occurs following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1, also called CD91) is an important receptor through which the hemin-Hpx complex can undergo endocytosis. This study investigated changes in the hemin-Hpx-CD91 axis in both hematoma and perihematomal tissue in a large animal ICH model. The effect of deferoxamine (DFX) on hemin-Hpx-CD91 was also examined. The study consisted of two parts. First, piglets had an injection of autologous blood into the right frontal lobe of brain and were euthanized from day 1 to day 7. Hematoma and perihematomal tissue of brains were used for hemin assay, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Second, piglets with ICH were treated with deferoxamine or vehicle, and were euthanized for hemin measurement and Hpx and CD91 immunohistochemistry. We found that there was an increase of hemin levels within the hematoma and perihematomal brain tissue after ICH. Hpx and CD91-positive cells were present in the clot and perihematomal tissue from day 1. Hpx and CD91 positive cells were Iba1 positive. After DFX therapy, hemin dropped markedly in the hematoma and perihematomal brain tissue. Furthermore, DFX treatment decreased the number of Hpx and CD91 positive cells in and around the hematoma. In conclusion, hemin accumulation occurs in and around the hematoma. Increases in Hpx and CD91 may be important in scavenging that hemin. DFX treatment decreased hemin release from the hematoma and reduced the expression of Hpx and CD91.

Abstract
AIMS Previous studies indicated that intraventricular injection of thrombin would induce hydrocephalus. But how thrombin works in this process remains unclear. Since cadherin plays a critical role in hydrocephalus, we aimed to explore the mechanisms of how thrombin acted on choroid plexus vascular endothelium and how thrombin interacted with vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) during hydrocephalus. METHODS There were two parts in this study. Firstly, rats received an injection of saline or thrombin into the right lateral ventricle. Magnetic resonance imaging was applied to measure the lateral ventricle volumes. Albumin leakage and Evans blue content were assessed to test the blood-brain barrier function. Immunofluorescence and Western blot were applied to detect the location and the expression of VE-cadherin. Secondly, we observed the roles of protease-activated receptors-1 (PAR1) inhibitor (SCH79797), Src inhibitor (PP2), p21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) inhibitor (IPA3) in the thrombin-induced hydrocephalus, and their effects on the regulation of VE-cadherin. RESULTS Our study demonstrated that intraventricular injection of thrombin caused significant downregulation of VE-cadherin in choroid plexus and dilation of ventricles. In addition, the inhibition of PAR1/p-Src/p-PAK1 pathway reversed the decrease of VE-cadherin and attenuated thrombin-induced hydrocephalus. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that the thrombin-induced hydrocephalus was associated with the inhibition of VE-cadherin via the PAR1/p-Src/p-PAK1 pathway.

BACKGROUND The treatment of ruptured posterior circulation aneurysms remains challenging despite progresses in the endovascular and neurosurgical techniques. OBJECTIVE To provide epidemiological characterization of subjects presenting with ruptured posterior circulation aneurysms in Switzerland and thereby assessing the treatment patterns and neurological outcomes. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of the Swiss SOS registry for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patients were divided in 3 groups (upper, lower, and middle third) according to aneurysm location. Clinical, radiological, and treatment-related variables were identified and their impact on the neurological outcome was determined. RESULTS From 2009 to 2014, we included 264 patients with ruptured posterior circulation aneurysms. Endovascular occlusion was the most common treatment in all 3 groups (72% in the upper third, 68% in the middle third, and 58.8% in the lower third). Surgical treatment was performed in 11.3%. Favorable outcome (mRS ≤ 3) was found in 56% at discharge and 65.7% at 1 year. No significant difference in the neurological outcome were found among the three groups, in terms of mRS at discharge (p = 0.20) and at 1 year (p = 0.18). High WFNS grade, high Fisher grade at presentation, and rebleeding before aneurysm occlusion (p = 0.001) were all correlated with the risk of unfavorable neurological outcome (or death) at discharge and at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS In this study, endovascular occlusion was the principal treatment, with a favorable outcome for two-thirds of patients at discharge and at long term. These results are similar to high volume neurovascular centers worldwide, reflecting the importance of centralized care at specialized neurovascular centers.

Impaired hippocampal development and outcomes in very preterm infants with perinatal brain injury. NEUROIMAGE-CLINICAL 2019; 22:101787. [PMID: 30991622 PMCID: PMC6446074 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2019.101787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Revised: 03/12/2019] [Accepted: 03/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Preterm infants are at high risk for brain injury during the perinatal period. Intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia, the two most common patterns of brain injury in prematurely-born children, are associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. The hippocampus is known to be critical for learning and memory; however, it remains unknown how these forms of brain injury affect hippocampal growth and how the resulting alterations in hippocampal development relate to childhood outcomes. To investigate these relationships, hippocampal segmentations were performed on term equivalent MRI scans from 55 full-term infants, 85 very preterm infants (born ≤32 weeks gestation) with no to mild brain injury and 73 very preterm infants with brain injury (e.g., grade III/IV intraventricular hemorrhage, post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, cystic periventricular leukomalacia). Infants then underwent standardized neurodevelopmental testing using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition at age 2 years, corrected for prematurity. To delineate the effects of brain injury on early hippocampal development, hippocampal volumes were compared across groups and associations between neonatal volumes and neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 2 years were explored. Very preterm infants with brain injury had smaller hippocampal volumes at term equivalent age compared to term and very preterm infants with no to mild injury, with the smallest hippocampi among those with grade III/IV intraventricular hemorrhage and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Further, larger ventricle size was associated with smaller hippocampal size. Smaller hippocampal volumes were related to worse motor performance at age 2 years across all groups. In addition, smaller hippocampal volumes in infants with brain injury were correlated with impaired cognitive scores at age 2 years, a relationship specific to this group. Consistent with our preclinical findings, these findings demonstrate that perinatal brain injury is associated with hippocampal size in preterm infants, with smaller volumes related to domain-specific neurodevelopmental impairments in this high-risk clinical population. Perinatal brain injury is related to smaller hippocampal volumes in preterm infants Infants with high-grade intraventricular hemorrhage have smallest hippocampi Larger ventricular size is related to smaller hippocampal volumes in hydrocephalus Smaller hippocampi are related to worse cognitive outcomes in brain injured infants Smaller hippocampal volumes associated with worse motor performance across groups

Abstract
Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) refers to bleeding that derives from the subependymal (or periventricular) germinal region of the premature brain. GMH can induce severe and irreversible damage attributing to the vulnerable structure of germinal matrix and deleterious circumstances. Molecular mechanisms remain obscure so far. In this review, we summarized the newest preclinical discoveries recent years about GMH to distill a deeper understanding of the neuropathology, and then discuss the potential diagnostic or therapeutic targets among these pathways. GMH studies mostly in recent 5 years were sorted out and the authors generalized the newest discoveries and ideas into four parts of this essay. Intrinsic fragile structure of preterm germinal matrix is the fundamental cause leading to GMH. Many molecules have been found effective in the pathophysiological courses. Some of these molecules like minocycline are suggested active to reduce the damage in animal GMH model. However, researchers are still trying to find efficient diagnostic methods and remedies that are available in preterm infants to rehabilitate or cure the sequent injury. Merits have been obtained in the last several years on molecular pathways of GMH, but more work is required to further unravel the whole pathophysiology.

[PMID: 30315404 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-018-0669-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2018] [Revised: 10/01/2018] [Accepted: 10/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Ceruloplasmin (CP) is an essential ferroxidase that is involved in maintaining iron homeostasis by oxidizing toxic ferrous iron (Fe2+) to less-toxic ferric iron (Fe3+). CP has been well studied in many neurodegenerative diseases, but there has not been an in-depth investigation in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This research investigated brain CP expression in rats after ICH and the effect of CP on Fe2+-induced brain injury. This study had two parts: first, rats had injection of autologous blood into the right basal ganglia and the time course of CP expression in the brain examined (protein and mRNA). Second, rats had an injection of either Fe2+ in saline, Fe2+ plus CP in saline, or saline alone into the right basal ganglia. All rats in the second part had T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and behavioral tests before the brains were harvested for immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. We found that CP was expressed on neurons and astrocytes in both cortex and basal ganglia after ICH. The time course showed that ICH induced CP expression increased from 4 h to 7 days, peaking at day 3. Whether the brain itself can produce CP was confirmed by RT-PCR. Exogenous CP reduced Fe2+-induced T2 lesions, blood-brain barrier disruption, brain cell death, and neurological deficits. These results suggest a role of CP in potentially reducing ICH-induced brain injury.

Edaravone Reduces Iron-Mediated Hydrocephalus and Behavioral Disorder in Rat by Activating the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2018; 27:3511-3520. [PMID: 30205995 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2018.08.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2018] [Revised: 06/24/2018] [Accepted: 08/08/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Our previous studies have demonstrated that hemorrhage-derived iron has a key role in causing brain injury after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Based on this finding, we hypothesized that edaravone, a free-radical scavenger, has the potential to alleviate hydrocephalus and neurological deficits post-IVH by suppressing iron-induced oxidative stress. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of edaravone for rats with FeCl3 injection, as well as to explore the related molecular mechanism. An experimental model was established in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats via FeCl3 injection into the right lateral ventricle. Edaravone or vehicle was administered immediately, 1 day and 2 days after intraventricular injection. Brain water content, magnetic resonance imaging, neurological score, oxidative stress assays, Western blot analysis, and electron microscopy were employed to evaluate brain injury in these rats. Intraventricular injection of FeCl3 induced brain edema, ventricular dilation, and neurobehavioral disorder in rats. Edaravone treatment significantly attenuated the above symptoms, reduced ependymal cilia and neuron damage, and inhibited oxidative stress (elevated levels of an antioxidant, superoxide dismutase; decreased levels of an oxidant, malondialdehyde). Moreover, edaravone administration effectively activated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in rat brain following FeCl3 injection. These results showed that edaravone treatment alleviated brain edema, ventricular expansion, and neurological disorder after FeCl3 injection. The possible mechanism is by protecting ependymal cilia and neurons from oxidative stress injury and activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. These results provide further experimental evidence for edaravone application in the treatment of IVH.

World Neurosurg 2018; 120:e1000-e1010. [PMID: 30201578 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.08.214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2018] [Revised: 08/27/2018] [Accepted: 08/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most difficult-to-treat form of stroke and accounts for about 10%-30% of all strokes worldwide. Hematoma expansion (HE), which occurs in one third of patients with ICH, is strongly predictive of worse prognosis and potentially preventable if high-risk patients are identified in the early phase of ICH. We summarized data from recent studies on HE prediction and classified those potential indicators into 2 categories: 1) clinical and laboratory and 2) radiographic. Therefore, we aimed to identify the accuracy of L, that is, the value of combining predictors in predicting HE of ICH in basal ganglia. METHODS We retrospectively investigated the clinical database of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital for patients with ICH aged >18 years between January 2015 and January 2018. As inclusion criteria, we defined 1) ICH diagnosed on noncontrast computed tomography (CT); 2) noncontrast CT performed on enrollment within 6 hours after onset of symptoms; 3) follow-up CT scan performed within 24 hours after the baseline CT scan; and 4) all of the primary hematoma was located in the basal ganglia. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the potential HE predictors, and then receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the L (the value of combining predictors) of imaging markers and clinical factors in predicting HE. RESULTS Of the 99 patients with HE, island sign was present in 48.48% (48/99) of patients and blend sign was present in 34.34% (34/99) of patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified time to baseline CT scan (odds ratio [OR] 1.574; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.205-2.054; P = 0.001), baseline hematoma volume (P = 0.001), presence of island sign (OR 11.247; 95% CI 4.701-26.909; P = 0.000), presence of blend sign (OR 3.104; 95% CI 1.425-6.765; P = 0.004), anticoagulants use or international normalized ratio >1.5 (OR 2.755; 95% CI 1.072-7.082; P = 0.035), and intraventricular hemorrhage (OR 2.351; 95% CI 1.066-5.187; P = 0.034) as independent predictors of HE. The sensitivity and specificity of L (value of combining predictors) were 88.89% and 80.84%, respectively; the area under the curve was 0.918. CONCLUSIONS The findings indicated that the ability of L to predict HE was much more excellent than these 6 predictors alone. L showed a high association with HE, with an accuracy of 91.8%, and was a reliable value of combining predictors in terms of predicting HE. L may serve as a promising, noninvasive tool for clinical therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
The Hydrocephalus Association Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus Workshop was held on July 25 and 26, 2016 at the National Institutes of Health. The workshop brought together a diverse group of researchers including pediatric neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuropsychologists with scientists in the fields of brain injury and development, cerebrospinal and interstitial fluid dynamics, and the blood-brain and blood-CSF barriers. The goals of the workshop were to identify areas of opportunity in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus research and encourage scientific collaboration across a diverse set of fields. This report details the major themes discussed during the workshop and research opportunities identified for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. The primary areas include (1) preventing intraventricular hemorrhage, (2) stopping primary and secondary brain damage, (3) preventing hydrocephalus, (4) repairing brain damage, and (5) improving neurodevelopment outcomes in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) affects both premature infants and adults. In both demographics, it has high mortality and morbidity. There is no FDA approved therapy that improves neurological outcome in either population highlighting the need for additional focus on therapeutic targets and treatments emerging from preclinical studies. Areas covered: IVH induces both initial injury linked to the physical effects of the blood (mass effect) and secondary injury linked to the brain response to the hemorrhage. Preclinical studies have identified multiple secondary injury mechanisms following IVH, and particularly the role of blood components (e.g. hemoglobin, iron, thrombin). This review, with an emphasis on pre-clinical IVH research, highlights therapeutic targets and treatments that may be of use in prevention, acute care, or repair of damage. Expert opinion: An IVH is a potentially devastating event. Progress has been made in elucidating injury mechanisms, but this has still to translate to the clinic. Some pathways involved in injury also have beneficial effects (coagulation cascade/inflammation). A greater understanding of the downstream pathways involved in those pathways may allow therapeutic development. Iron chelation (deferoxamine) is in clinical trial for intracerebral hemorrhage and preclinical data suggest it may be a potential treatment for IVH.

Abstract
To determine if ventricular zone (VZ) and subventricular zone (SVZ) alterations are associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, we compared postmortem frontal and subcortical brain samples from 12 infants with IVH and 3 nonneurological disease controls without hemorrhages or ventriculomegaly. Birth and expiration estimated gestational ages were 23.0-39.1 and 23.7-44.1 weeks, respectively; survival ranges were 0-42 days (median, 2.0 days). Routine histology and immunohistochemistry for neural stem cells (NSCs), neural progenitors (NPs), multiciliated ependymal cells (ECs), astrocytes (AS), and cell adhesion molecules were performed. Controls exhibited monociliated NSCs and multiciliated ECs lining the ventricles, abundant NPs in the SVZ, and medial vs. lateral wall differences with a complex mosaic organization in the latter. In IVH cases, normal VZ/SVZ areas were mixed with foci of NSC and EC loss, eruption of cells into the ventricle, cytoplasmic transposition of N-cadherin, subependymal rosettes, and periventricular heterotopia. Mature AS populated areas believed to be sites of VZ disruption. The cytopathology and extension of the VZ disruption correlated with developmental age but not with brain hemorrhage grade or location. These results corroborate similar findings in congenital hydrocephalus in animals and humans and indicate that VZ disruption occurs consistently in premature neonates with IVH.

Abstract
Despite years of effort, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most devastating form of stroke with more than 40% 30-day mortality worldwide. Hematoma expansion (HE), which occurs in one third of ICH patients, is strongly predictive of worse prognosis and potentially preventable if high-risk patients were identified in the early phase of ICH. In this review, we summarize data from recent studies on HE prediction and classify those potential indicators into four categories: clinical (severity of consciousness disturbance; blood pressure; blood glucose at and after admission); laboratory (hematologic parameters of coagulation, inflammation and microvascular integrity status), radiographic (interval time from ICH onset; baseline volume, shape and density of hematoma; intraventricular hemorrhage; especially the spot sign and modified spot sign) and integrated predictors (9-point or 24-point clinical prediction algorithm and PREDICT A/B). We discuss those predictors’ underlying pathophysiology in HE and present opportunities to develop future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus is a severe complication following intracranial hemorrhage. Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus is often associated with high morbidity and mortality and serves as an important clinical predictor of adverse outcomes after intracranial hemorrhage. Currently, no effective medical intervention exists to improve functional outcomes in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus patients because little is still known about the mechanisms of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus pathogenesis. Because a better understanding of the posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus pathogenesis would facilitate development of clinical treatments, this is an active research area. The purpose of this review is to describe recent progress in elucidation of molecular mechanisms that cause posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. What we are certain of is that the entry of blood into the ventricular system and subarachnoid space results in release of lytic blood products which cause a series of physiological and pathological changes in the brain. Blood components that can be linked to pathology would serve as disease biomarkers. From studies of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, such biomarkers are known to mutually synergize to initiate and promote posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus progression. These findings suggest that modulation of biomarker expression or function may benefit posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus patients.

Abstract
Isoflurane, a volatile and inhalational anesthetic, has been extensively used in perioperative period for several decades. A large amount of experimental studies have indicated that isoflurane exhibits neuroprotective properties when it is administrated before or after (pre-conditioning and post-conditioning) neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., hypoxic ischemia, stroke and trauma). Multiple mechanisms are involved in isoflurane induced neuroprotection, including activation of glycine and γ-aminobutyric acid receptors, antagonism of ionic channels and alteration of the function and activity of other cellular proteins. Although neuroprotection provided by isoflurane is observed in many animal studies, convincing evidence is lacking in human trials. Therefore, there is still a long way to go before translating its neuroprotective properties into clinical practice.

Abstract
Hydrocephalus (HCP) is a common complication in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this review, we summarize the advanced research on HCP and discuss the understanding of the molecular originators of HCP and the development of diagnoses and remedies of HCP after SAH. It has been reported that inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative stress are the important causes of HCP, and well-known molecules including transforming growth factor, matrix metalloproteinases, and iron terminally lead to fibrosis and blockage of HCP. Potential medicines for HCP are still in preclinical status, and surgery is the most prevalent and efficient therapy, despite respective risks of different surgical methods, including lamina terminalis fenestration, ventricle-peritoneal shunting, and lumbar-peritoneal shunting. HCP remains an ailment that cannot be ignored and even with various solutions the medical community is still trying to understand and settle why and how it develops and accordingly improve the prognosis of these patients with HCP.

Simvastatin Promotes Hematoma Absorption and Reduces Hydrocephalus Following Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Part by Upregulating CD36. Transl Stroke Res 2017; 8:362-373. [PMID: 28102508 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-017-0521-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2016] [Revised: 01/08/2017] [Accepted: 01/11/2017] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
We previously found that hematoma worsens hydrocephalus after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) via increasing iron deposition and aggravating ependymal cilia injury; therefore, promoting hematoma absorption may be a promising strategy for IVH. Recently, some investigations imply that simvastatin has the ability of accelerating hematoma absorption. Thus, this study was designed to examine the efficacy of simvastatin for IVH in rats. Intracerebral hemorrhage with ventricular extension was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats after autologous blood injection. Simvastatin or vehicle was administered orally at 1 day after IVH and then daily for 1 week. MRI studies were performed to measure the volumes of intracranial hematoma and lateral ventricle at days 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 after IVH. Motor and neurocognitive functions were assessed at days 1 to 7 and 23 to 28, respectively. Iron deposition, iron-related protein expression, ependymal damage, and histology were detected at day 28. Expression of CD36 scavenger receptor (facilitating phagocytosis) was examined at day 3 after IVH using western blotting and immunofluorescence. Simvastatin significantly increased hematoma absorption ratio, reduced ventricular volume, and attenuated neurological dysfunction post-IVH. In addition, less iron accumulation and more cilia survival was observed in the simvastatin group when compared with the control. What's more, higher expression of CD36 was detected around the hematoma after simvastatin administration. Simvastatin significantly enhanced brain hematoma absorption, alleviated hydrocephalus, and improved neurological recovery after experimental IVH, which may in part by upregulating CD36 expression. Our data suggest that early simvastatin use may be a novel therapy for IVH patients.

Abstract
Intracranial haemorrhages, including intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In addition, haemorrhage contributes to tissue damage in traumatic brain injury (TBI). To date, efforts to treat the long-term consequences of cerebral haemorrhage have been unsatisfactory. Incident rates and mortality have not showed significant improvement in recent years. In terms of secondary damage following haemorrhage, it is becoming increasingly apparent that blood components are of integral importance, with haemoglobin-derived iron playing a major role. However, the damage caused by iron is complex and varied, and therefore, increased investigation into the mechanisms by which iron causes brain injury is required. As ICH, IVH, SAH and TBI are related, this review will discuss the role of iron in each, so that similarities in injury pathologies can be more easily identified. It summarises important components of normal brain iron homeostasis and analyses the existing evidence on iron-related brain injury mechanisms. It further discusses treatment options of particular promise.

Abstract
A number of mechanisms have been proposed for the early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this study, we investigated the radiographic characteristics and influence of gender on early brain injury after experimental SAH. SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in male and female rats. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in a 7.0-T Varian MR scanner at 24 h after SAH. The occurrence and size of T2 lesions, ventricular dilation, and white matter injury (WMI) were determined on T2-weighted images (T2WI). The effects of SAH on heme oxygenase-1 and fibrin/fibrinogen were examined by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. SAH severity was assessed using a MRI grading system, and neurological function was evaluated according to a modified Garcia's scoring system. T2 hyperintensity areas and enlarged ventricles were observed in T2WI coronal sections 24 h after SAH. The overall incidence of T2 lesions, WMI, and hydrocephalus was 54, 20, and 63%, respectively. Female rats had a higher incidence of T2 hyperintensity lesions and hydrocephalus, as well as larger T2 lesion volumes and higher average ventricular volume. SAH rats graded at 3-4 (our previously validated MRI grading scale) had larger T2 lesion volumes, more hydrocephalus, and worse neurological function compared with those graded at 0-2. In conclusion, T2 lesion, WMI, and hydrocephalus were the most prevalent MRI characteristics 24 h after experimental SAH. The T2 lesion area matched with fibrinogen/fibrin positive staining in the acute phase of SAH. SAH induced more severe brain injury in females compared to males in the acute phase of SAH.
