Abstract
The murine model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a valuable experimental tool for investigating molecular and cellular mechanisms, and the endovascular filament perforation technique can be used to simulate prominent pathophysiological features observed after human SAH; however, current validation methods for assessing an appropriate SAH model are limited. Here, we introduce a simple procedure for selecting a mouse model of diffuse SAH. SAH was induced in 24 mice using a standard filament perforation method. After confirming survival at 24 h, SAH was scored 0-1 based on T2*-weighted images on whole-brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and visual surveillance of the cisterna magna (CM) through the dura mater. The CM-based SAH grading correlated well with a reference parameter defined by extracted brain (r2 = 0.53, p < 0.0001). The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed a sensitivity of 85% and a specificity of 91% for detecting diffuse SAH, with a similar area under the curve (0.89 ± 0.06 [standard error of the mean]) as the MRI-based grading (0.72 ± 0.10, p = 0.12). Our data suggest that confirming an SAH clot in the CM is a valuable way to select a clinically relevant diffuse SAH model that can be used in future experimental studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury is still an important health problem worldwide. Traumatic brain injury not only causes direct mechanical damage to the brain but also induces biochemical changes that lead to secondary nerve cell loss. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effect of milrinone after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a rat model. METHODS Forty male Wistar albino rats, were used. Rats were divided into 4 groups: 1) sham, 2) TBI, 3) TBI + Ringers, and 4) TBI + Milrinone. In group 1 (sham), only craniotomy was performed. In group 2 (TBI), TBI was performed after craniotomy. In group 3 (TBI + Ringer), TBI was performed after craniotomy and intraperitoneal Ringers solution was given immediately afterward. Group 4 (TBI + Milrinone), TBI was performed after craniotomy, and milrinone was given 1.0 mg/kg milrinone intraperitoneally directly (0.5 mg/kg milrinone intraperitoneally again 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after trauma). Tests were performed for neurological and neurobehavioral functions. Immunohistochemistry and histopathology studies were performed. RESULTS In group 4 compared with group 2 and group 3 groups, tests for neurological functions and neurobehavioral functions were significantly better. In the milrinone treatment used in group 4, plasma and brain tissue tumor necrosis factor, 8-OH 2-deoxyguanosine , and interleukin 6 levels were significantly decreased, and increased plasma and tissue IL-10 levels were detected. Histopathological spinal cord injury and apoptotic index increased in groups 2 and 3, while significantly decreasing in group 4. CONCLUSIONS This study shows for the first time that the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties of milrinone may be neuroprotective after TBI.

Abstract
AIMS White matter (WM) injury is a critical factor associated with worse outcomes following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, the detailed pathological changes are not completely understood. This study investigates temporal changes in the corpus callosum (CC), including WM edema and oligodendrocyte death after SAH, and the role of lipocalin-2 (LCN2) in those changes. METHODS Subarachnoid hemorrhage was induced in adult wild-type or LCN2 knockout mice via endovascular perforation. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed 4 hours, 1 day, and 8 days after SAH, and T2 hyperintensity changes within the CC were quantified to represent WM edema. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to evaluate oligodendrocyte death and proliferation. RESULTS Subarachnoid hemorrhage induced significant CC T2 hyperintensity at 4 hours and 1 day that diminished significantly by 8 days post-procedure. Comparing changes between the 4 hours and 1 day, each individual mouse had an increase in CC T2 hyperintensity volume. Oligodendrocyte death was observed at 4 hours, 1 day, and 8 days after SAH induction, and there was progressive loss of mature oligodendrocytes, while immature oligodendrocytes/oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) proliferated back to baseline by Day 8 after SAH. Moreover, LCN2 knockout attenuated WM edema and oligodendrocyte death at 24 hours after SAH. CONCLUSIONS Subarachnoid hemorrhage leads to T2 hyperintensity change within the CC, which indicates WM edema. Oligodendrocyte death was observed in the CC within 1 day of SAH, with a partial recovery by Day 8. SAH-induced WM injury was alleviated in an LCN2 knockout mouse model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) change after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) is strongly associated with brain injuries such as early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischemia. We evaluated the correlation between CBF using Laser Speckle Flow Imaging (LSFI) after SAH and neurological findings in the sub-acute phase. METHOD An SAH was induced by endovascular perforation in male mice. CBF was quantitatively measured by using LSFI at six time points, immediately to 14 days after SAH induction. Behavior tests and survival rate were evaluated. The mice were divided into recovery and hypo-perfusion groups according to their CBF at 1 day after the procedure. RESULT Forty mice were included in this study. Five mice (20%) were included in the hypo-perfusion group, and the remaining 20 (80%) mice were classified as the recovery group. The decrease of CBF in the recovery group was observed until 1 day after the procedure. However, the decrease of CBF in the hypo-perfusion group was prolonged until 7 days after the procedure. Neurological findings and survival rates in the hypo-perfusion group were significantly worse than those in the recovery group. The low alternation cases (≤ 50%) in the Y-maze test in the recovery group (n = 5) had significantly lower CBF at 1 day after the procedure. CONCLUSION Low blood flow at 1 day after SAH was associated with worse survival rate, neurological findings, and memory disturbance. Early improvement in CBF may be associated with an improved prognosis after SAH.

Abstract
Early brain injury (EBI) is closely linked to the development of delayed cerebral ischemia and poor outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of neurotropin on EBI in a murine model of SAH. Twenty-four C57BL/6N mice were treated with intraperitoneal injections of either saline or 2.4 units of neurotropin at 1 h after SAH induction and for 3 days consecutively. SAH was created by an endovascular perforation method. In addition to the assessment of cerebral infarction and survival rate, motor and neurocognitive functions were also measured after SAH. Compared to the saline control group, the neurotropin group showed better recovery from locomotive and neurological declines after SAH. The neurotropin group also showed lower rates of post-SAH acute cerebral infarction and better memory and route-learning scores (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant between-group differences in the overall mortality, hemodynamic parameters, or body weights. In conclusion, post-event treatment with neurotropin could be protective against EBI, lowering the incidence of ischemia and improving some motor and neurocognitive functions after SAH.

Abstract
Small trials have demonstrated promising results utilising intravenous milrinone for the treatment of delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Here we summarise and contextualise the literature and discuss the future directions of intravenous milrinone for DCI. A systematic, pooled analysis of literature was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Methodological rigour was analysed using the MINORS criteria. Extracted data included patient population; treatment protocol; and clinical, radiological, and functional outcome. The primary outcome was clinical resolution of DCI. Eight hundred eighteen patients from 10 single-centre, observational studies were identified. Half (n = 5) of the studies were prospective and all were at high risk of bias. Mean age was 52 years, and females (69%) outnumbered males. There was a similar proportion of low-grade (WFNS 1-2) (49.7%) and high-grade (WFNS 3-5) (50.3%) SAH. Intravenous milrinone was administered to 523/818 (63.9%) participants. Clinical resolution of DCI was achieved in 375/424 (88%), with similar rates demonstrated with intravenous (291/330, 88%) and combined intra-arterial-intravenous (84/94, 89%) therapy. Angiographic response was seen in 165/234 (71%) receiving intravenous milrinone. Hypotension (70/303, 23%) and hypokalaemia (31/287, 11%) were common drug effects. Four cases (0.5%) of drug intolerance occurred. Good functional outcome was achieved in 271/364 (74%) patients. Cerebral infarction attributable to DCI occurred in 47/250 (19%), with lower rates in asymptomatic spasm. Intravenous milrinone is a safe and feasible therapy for DCI. A signal for efficacy is demonstrated in small, low-quality trials. Future research should endeavour to establish the optimal protocol and dose, prior to a phase-3 study.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has a high mortality rate and, for those who survive this devastating injury, can lead to lifelong impairment. Clinical trials have demonstrated that cerebral vasospasm of larger extraparenchymal vessels is not the sole contributor to neurological outcome. Recently, the focus of intense investigation has turned to mechanisms of early brain injury that may play a larger role in outcome, including neuroinflammation and microvascular dysfunction. Extravasated blood after aneurysm rupture results in a robust inflammatory response characterized by activation of microglia, upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules, recruitment of peripheral immune cells, as well as impaired neurovascular coupling, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and imbalances in endogenous vasodilators and vasoconstrictors. Each of these phenomena is either directly or indirectly associated with neuronal death and brain injury. Here, we review recent studies investigating these various mechanisms in experimental models of subarachnoid hemorrhage with special emphasis on neuroinflammation and its effect on microvascular dysfunction. We discuss the various therapeutic targets that have risen from these mechanistic studies and suggest the utility of a multi-targeted approach to preventing delayed injury and improving outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Delayed neurological deficits are a devastating consequence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which affects about 30% of surviving patients. Although a very serious concern, delayed deficits are understudied in experimental SAH models; it is not known whether rodents recapitulate the delayed clinical decline seen in SAH patients. We hypothesized that mice with SAH develop delayed functional deficits and that microthrombi and infarction correlate with delayed decline. METHODS Adult C57BL/6J mice of both sexes were subjected to endovascular perforation to induce SAH. Mice were allowed to survive for up to 1 week post-ictus and behavioral performance was assessed daily. Postmortem microthrombi, large artery diameters (to assess vasospasm), and infarct volume were measured. These measures were analyzed for differences between SAH mice that developed delayed deficits and SAH mice that did not get delayed deficits. Correlation analyses were performed to identify which measures correlated with delayed neurological deficits, sex, and infarction. RESULTS Twenty-three percent of males and 47% of females developed delayed deficits 3 to 6 days post-SAH. Female mice subjected to SAH had a significantly higher incidence of delayed deficits than male mice with SAH. Mice that developed delayed deficits had significantly more microthrombi and larger infarct volumes than SAH mice that did not get delayed deficits. Microthrombi positively correlated with infarct volume, and both microthrombi and infarction correlated with delayed functional deficits. Vasospasm did not correlate with either infarction delayed functional deficits. CONCLUSIONS We discovered that delayed functional deficits occur in mice following SAH. Sex differences were seen in the prevalence of delayed deficits. The mechanism by which microthrombi cause delayed deficits may be via formation of infarcts.

Abstract
Brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is closely related to microglia/macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Translocator protein (TSPO) is a hall marker of activated microglia/macrophages, and the TSPO ligands have been proved to be beneficial for controlling neuroinflammation. Ro5-4864, one of the TSPO ligands, has been reported to be able to regulate inflammation in neurological diseases. Here, we investigated the effects of Ro5-4864 on microglia/macrophages polarization in a SAH mice model, which was induced by endovascular perforation. Ro5-4864 was administered intraperitoneally dissolved in DMSO-saline. Post-SAH assessments included neurological tests, SAH grade, western blotting, ELISA assay and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that brain injury was accompanied by the accumulation of TNF-α and IL-1β, as well as the increase of iNOS protein levels. Finally, we found that Ro5-4864 improved neurological function, increased the expression of anti-inflammatory factors, and influenced phenotypes of M2 microglia/macrophages after SAH. Together, these data reveal a protective role of TSPO ligand Ro5-4864 in inflammatory processes of SAH as well as a potential alternative for SAH treatment.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a non-invasive method of cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurement using high-frequency power Doppler ultrasound imaging in a mouse model of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The 3-dimensionally (3D) reconstructed blood flow signals (%vascularity) within the brain volume of the middle cerebral artery territory correlated well with reference parameters, baseline carotid artery blood flow (r2 = 0.52, P < 0.0001) and normalized CBF changes (r2 = 0.74 P < 0.0001). These data suggest that the 3D power Doppler analysis may have the potential for reflecting real-time CBF changes during the acute phase of experimental SAH, which may be applicable to preclinical studies on early brain injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is among the most dreaded complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Despite advances in neurocritical care, DCI remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay, and high healthcare costs. Large artery vasospasm has classically been thought to lead to DCI. However, recent failure of clinical trials targeting vasospasm to improve outcomes has underscored the disconnect between large artery vasospasm and DCI. Therefore, interest has shifted onto other potential mechanisms such as microvascular dysfunction and spreading depolarizations. Animal models can be instrumental in dissecting pathophysiology, but clinical relevance can be difficult to establish. METHODS Here, we performed a systematic review of the literature on animal models of SAH, focusing specifically on DCI and neurological deficits. RESULTS We find that dog, rabbit and rodent models do not consistently lead to DCI, although some degree of delayed vascular dysfunction is common. Primate models reliably recapitulate delayed neurological deficits and ischemic brain injury; however, ethical issues and cost limit their translational utility. CONCLUSIONS To facilitate translation, clinically relevant animal models that reproduce the pathophysiology and cardinal features of DCI after SAH are urgently needed.

Abstract
AIMS The current study examined whether white matter injury occurs in the hyperacute (4 hours) phase after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and the potential role of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and an acute phase protein, lipocalin 2 (LCN2), in that injury. METHODS Subarachnoid hemorrhage was induced by endovascular perforation in adult mice. First, wild-type (WT) mice underwent MRI 4 hours after SAH to detect white matter T2 hyperintensities. Second, changes in LCN2 expression and BBB disruption associated with the MRI findings were examined. Third, SAH-induced white matter injury at 4 hours was compared in WT and LCN2 knockout (LCN2 KO) mice. RESULTS At 4 hours, most animals had uni- or bilateral white matter T2 hyperintensities after SAH in WT mice that were associated with BBB disruption and LCN2 upregulation. However, some disruption and LCN2 upregulation was also found in mice with no T2-hyperintensity lesion. In contrast, there were no white matter T2 hyperintensities in LCN2 KO mice after SAH. LCN2 deficiency also attenuated BBB disruption, myelin damage, and oligodendrocyte loss. CONCLUSIONS Subarachnoid hemorrhage causes very early BBB disruption and LCN2 expression in white matter that is associated with and may precede T2 hyperintensities. LCN2 deletion attenuates MRI changes and pathological changes in white matter after SAH.

Abstract
Early brain injury and related cardiac consequences play a key role in the devastating outcomes after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We reported that rapamycin exerts neuroprotection against cortical hypoxia early after SAH, but its mechanism is poorly understood. This in vivo study aimed to determine the potential role of the transcription factor STAT3 in the rapamycin-mediated neuroprotection in a mouse model of SAH. Forty C57BL/6 N mice were treated with an intracerebroventricular injection of rapamycin or vehicle (control) given after SAH induction by a filament perforation method, with or without STAT3 (Stattic) or ERK (PD98059) inhibitor pretreatment. Cerebral blood flow signals (%vascularity), brain tissue oxygen saturation (SbtO2), and cardiac output (CO) were analyzed using an ultrasound/photoacoustic imaging system. Clinically relevant neurocardiac depression was notable in severe SAH mice. Rapamycin improved %vascularity, SbtO2, and CO on day 1 after SAH onset. The beneficial effects of rapamycin on cerebral blood flow and oxygenation persisted until day 3, resulting in a significant reduction in post-SAH new cerebral infarctions and survival, as well as improved neurological functions, compared to the control group. All of the effects were attenuated by pretreatment with Stattic or PD98059. These data suggest that ERK and JAK/STAT3 pathways play an important role in the neurocardiac protection by rapamycin after SAH. We propose that rapamycin is a novel pharmacological strategy to target STAT3 activation, with a possible crosstalk through the ERK pathway, for the treatment of post-SAH early brain injury.

Abstract
Tooth loss and related changes in the functionality may lead to worse outcome of stroke patients, but the effect on hemorrhagic stroke remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the impact of impaired masticatory function on acute cerebral oxygenation and locomotor activity after experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Twenty C57BL/6 mice with (MC-treated group) or without (control group) prior treatment of cutting off the upper molars were subjected to SAH by endovascular perforation. Grading of SAH and acute cerebral infarction were assessed by MR images. Brain tissue oxygen saturation (SbtO2 ) by photoacoustic imaging and parameters related to locomotor activity by open-field test were analyzed serially after SAH. In all mice, global SbtO2 depression was notable immediately after SAH induction (P <.001), which recovered close to the baseline levels until day 3. However, MC-treated mice demonstrated a prolonged relative cerebral hypoxia (<40% of the baseline SbtO2) as compared to the control (3 ± 1 vs 1 ± 1 days; P <.05). The average distance travelled on day 7 and the ratio of central-area distance/total travelled distance by open-field test between days 7 and 14 were significantly lower in MC-treated mice than in the control mice (P <.05), although the occurrences of new infarction were not statistically different (P >.05). These data suggest a possible link between preceding masticatory impairment and early brain injury to deteriorate neurobehavioural function in patients after SAH.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of cerebral blood flow (CBF) recovery obtained from brain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images on postoperative outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Twenty-nine patients who had undergone surgical clipping for ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms were analyzed prospectively. Routine measurements of CBF were performed using technetium-99 m hexamethyl propyleneamine oxine SPECT on days 4 and 14 after SAH. Regional voxel data analyzed by three dimensional stereotactic surface projection (3D-SSP) were compared between patients and age-matched normal database (NDB). In 3D-SSP analysis of all patients, cortical hypoperfusion around the surgical site in bilateral frontal lobes was evident on day 4 (P < .05 vs NDB), which was improved significantly on day 14. However, the recovery was less complete in patients with poor clinical grades (P < .05) and presenting symptoms attributable to delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) (P < .05) than those without. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with mild to moderate CBF recovery (relative Z-score differences of <4) (P = .014; odds ratio, 2.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.93-3.31) was independently associated with poor functional outcome at 3 months. We conclude that reduced CBF recovery detected by serial 3D-SSP SPECT image analyses can be a potential predictor of poor prognosis in postoperative patients after SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) by endovascular filament perforation method is used widely in mice, but it sometimes present acute cerebral infarctions with varied magnitude and anatomical location. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and location of the acute ischemic injury in this experimental model. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to SAH by endovascular perforation. Distribution of SAH was defined by T2*-weighted images within 1h after SAH. Prevalence and location of acute infarction were assessed by diffusion-weighted MR images on day 1 after the induction. RESULTS Among 72 mice successfully acquired post-SAH MR images, 29 (40%) developed acute infarction. Location of the infarcts was classified into either single infarct (ipsilateral cortex, n=12; caudate putamen, n=3; hippocampus, n=1) or multiple lesions (cortex and caudate putamen, n=6; cortex and hippocampus, n=2; cortex, hippocampus and thalamus/hypothalamus, n=3; bilateral cortex, n=2). The mortality rate within 24h was significantly higher in mice with multiple infarcts than those with single lesion (30% versus 0%; P=0.03). Distribution of the ischemic lesion positively correlated with MRI-evidenced SAH grading (r2=0.31, P=0.0002). CONCLUSION Experimental SAH immediately after the vessel perforation can induce acute cerebral infarction in varying vascular territories, resulting in increased mortality. The present model may in part, help researchers to interpret the mechanism of clinically-evidenced early multiple combined infarction.
