Abstract
Background Few studies focused on the risk factors for hand rehabilitation of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using of soft robotic hand therapy (SRHT). The aim of this study was to establish a predictive nomogram for soft robotic hand rehabilitation in patients with ICH. Methods According to the Brunnstrom motor recovery (BMR) stage, the patients were grouped into poor and good motor function groups. The data of patient demographic information and serum level of C-terminal Agrin Fragment (CAF), S100B and neurofilament light (NfL) were collected. The logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for poor hand function. Results Finally, we enrolled 102 and 103 patients in the control and SRHT groups. For the SRHT group, there were 17 and 86 cases with poor and good motor function at 6-months follow-up respectively. In the good motor function group, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Wrist and Hand (FMA-WH score) and BMR score at admission were all better than that in the poor motor function group respectively (p < 0.001). The mean serum level of CAF, S100B and NfL in the good motor function group were 2.5 ± 0.82 ng/mL, 286.6 ± 236.4 ng/L and 12.1 ± 10.4 pg/mL respectively, which were lower than that in the poor motor function group (p < 0.001, Table 3). The multivariate logistic regression showed that hematoma volume (OR = 1.47, p = 0.007), FMA-WH score admission (OR = 0.78, p = 0.02), S100B (OR = 1.32, p = 0.04), and NfL (OR = 1.24, p = 0.003) were all significant predictors of poor motor function. Conclusions We found that Soft robotic hands therapy benefited in hand function in patients with ICH and hematoma volume, FMA-WH score admission, S100B, and NfL were all significant predictors for poor motor function of patients with ICH.

Targeting the Erk1/2 and autophagy signaling easily improved the neurobalst differentiation and cognitive function after young transient forebrain ischemia compared to old gerbils. Cell Death Dis 2022; 8:87. [PMID: 35220404 PMCID: PMC8882190 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-022-00888-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Revised: 01/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The hippocampal neurogenesis occurs constitutively throughout adulthood in mammalian species, but declines with age. In this study, we overtly found that the neuroblast proliferation and differentiation in the subgranular zone and the maturation into fully functional and integrated neurons in the granule-cell layer in young gerbils following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion was much more than those in old gerbils. The neurological function and cognitive and memory-function rehabilitation in the young gerbils improved faster than those in the old one. These results demonstrated that, during long term after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, the ability of neurogenesis and recovery of nerve function in young animals were significantly higher than that in the old animals. We found that, after 14- and 28-day cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, the phosphorylation of MEK1/2, ERK1/2, p90RSK, and MSK1/2 protein levels in the hippocampus of young gerbils was significantly much higher than that of old gerbils. The levels of autophagy-related proteins, including Beclin-1, Atg3, Atg5, and LC3 in the hippocampus were effectively maintained and elevated at 28 days after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in the young gerbils compared with those in the old gerbils. These results indicated that an increase or maintenance of the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 signal pathway and autophagy-related proteins was closely associated with the neuroblast proliferation and differentiation and the process of maturation into neurons. Further, we proved that neuroblast proliferation and differentiation in the dentate gyrus and cognitive function were significantly reversed in young cerebral ischemic gerbils by administering the ERK inhibitor (U0126) and autophagy inhibitor (3MA). In brief, following experimental young ischemic stroke, the long-term promotion of the neurogenesis in the young gerbil’s hippocampal dentate gyrus by upregulating the phosphorylation of ERK signaling pathway and maintaining autophagy-related protein levels, it overtly improved the neurological function and cognitive and memory function.

Real-World Adherence to OnabotulinumtoxinA Treatment for Spasticity: Insights From the ASPIRE Study. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2021; 102:2172-2184.e6. [PMID: 34245684 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2021.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify baseline characteristics and treatment-related variables that affect adherence to onabotulinumtoxinA treatment from the Adult Spasticity International Registry (ASPIRE) study. DESIGN Prospective, observational registry (NCT01930786). SETTING International clinical sites. PARTICIPANTS Adults with spasticity (N=730). INTERVENTIONS OnabotulinumtoxinA at clinician's discretion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinically meaningful thresholds used for treatment adherent (≥3 treatment sessions during 2-year study) and nonadherent (≤2 sessions). Data analyzed using logistic regression and presented as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Treatment-related variables assessed at sessions 1 and 2 only. RESULTS Of the total population, 523 patients (71.6%) were treatment adherent with 5.3±1.6 sessions and 207 (28.4%) were nonadherent with 1.5±0.5 sessions. In the final model (n=626/730), 522 patients (83.4%) were treatment adherent and 104 (16.6%) were nonadherent. Baseline characteristics associated with adherence: treated in Europe (OR=1.84; CI, 1.06-3.21; P=.030) and use of orthotics (OR=1.88; CI, 1.15-3.08; P=.012). Baseline characteristics associated with nonadherence: history of diplopia (OR=0.28; CI, 0.09-0.89; P=.031) and use of assistive devices (OR=0.51; CI, 0.29-0.90; P=.021). Treatment-related variables associated with nonadherence: treatment interval ≥15 weeks (OR=0.43; CI, 0.26-0.72; P=.001) and clinician dissatisfaction with onabotulinumtoxinA to manage pain (OR=0.18; CI, 0.05-0.69; P=.012). Of the population with stroke (n=411), 288 patients (70.1%) were treatment adherent with 5.3±1.6 sessions and 123 (29.9%) were nonadherent with 1.5±0.5 session. In the final stroke model (n=346/411), 288 patients (83.2%) were treatment adherent and 58 (16.8%) were nonadherent. Baseline characteristics associated with adherence: treated in Europe (OR=2.99; CI, 1.39-6.44; P=.005) and use of orthotics (OR=3.18; CI, 1.57-6.45; P=.001). Treatment-related variables associated with nonadherence: treatment interval ≥15 weeks (OR=0.42; CI, 0.21-0.83; P=.013) and moderate/severe disability on upper limb Disability Assessment Scale pain subscale (OR=0.40; CI, 0.19-0.83; P=.015). CONCLUSIONS These ASPIRE analyses demonstrate real-world patient and clinical variables that affect adherence to onabotulinumtoxinA and provide insights to help optimize management strategies to improve patient care.
