High-density cortical µECoG arrays concurrently track spreading depolarizations and long-term evolution of stroke in awake rats. Commun Biol 2024; 7:263.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are widely recognized as a major contributor to the progression of tissue damage from ischemic stroke even if blood flow can be restored. They are characterized by negative intracortical waveforms of up to -20 mV, propagation velocities of 3 - 6 mm/min, and massive disturbance of membrane ion homeostasis. High-density, micro-electrocorticographic (μECoG) epidural electrodes and custom, DC-coupled, multiplexed amplifiers, were used to continuously characterize and monitor SD and µECoG cortical signal evolution in awake, moving rats over days. This highly innovative approach can define these events over a large brain surface area (~ 3.4 × 3.4 mm), extending across the boundaries of the stroke, and offers sufficient electrode density (60 contacts total per array for a density of 5.7 electrodes / mm2) to measure and determine the origin of SDs in relation to the infarct boundaries. In addition, spontaneous ECoG activity can simultaneously be detected to further define cortical infarct regions. This technology allows us to understand dynamic stroke evolution and provides immediate cortical functional activity over days. Further translational development of this approach may facilitate improved treatment options for acute stroke patients.

[PMID: 37932046 PMCID: PMC10683553 DOI: 10.1523/eneuro.0325-23.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Migratory locusts enter a reversible hypometabolic coma to survive environmental anoxia, wherein the cessation of CNS activity is driven by spreading depolarization (SD). While glycolysis is recognized as a crucial anaerobic energy source contributing to animal anoxia tolerance, its influence on the anoxic SD trajectory and recovery outcomes remains poorly understood. We investigated the effects of varying glycolytic capacity on adult female locust anoxic SD parameters, using glucose or the glycolytic inhibitors 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2DG) or monosodium iodoacetate (MIA). Surprisingly, 2DG treatment shared similarities with glucose yet had opposite effects compared with MIA. Specifically, although SD onset was not affected, both glucose and 2DG expedited the recovery of CNS electrical activity during reoxygenation, whereas MIA delayed it. Additionally, glucose and MIA, but not 2DG, increased tissue damage and neural cell death following anoxia-reoxygenation. Notably, glucose-induced injuries were associated with heightened CO2 output during the early phase of reoxygenation. Conversely, 2DG resulted in a bimodal response, initially dampening CO2 output and gradually increasing it throughout the recovery period. Given the discrepancies between effects of 2DG and MIA, the current results require cautious interpretations. Nonetheless, our findings present evidence that glycolysis is not a critical metabolic component in either anoxic SD onset or recovery and that heightened glycolysis during reoxygenation may exacerbate CNS injuries. Furthermore, we suggest that locust anoxic recovery is not solely dependent on energy availability, and the regulation of metabolic flux during early reoxygenation may constitute a strategy to mitigate damage.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health crisis in many regions of the world. Severe TBI may cause a primary brain lesion with a surrounding penumbra of tissue that is vulnerable to secondary injury. Secondary injury presents as progressive expansion of the lesion, possibly leading to severe disability, a persistent vegetive state, or death. Real time neuromonitoring to detect and monitor secondary injury is urgently needed. Dexamethasone-enhanced continuous online microdialysis (Dex-enhanced coMD) is an emerging paradigm for chronic neuromonitoring after brain injury. The present study employed Dex-enhanced coMD to monitor brain K+ and O2 during manually induced spreading depolarization in the cortex of anesthetized rats and after controlled cortical impact, a widely used rodent model of TBI, in behaving rats. Consistent with prior reports on glucose, O2 exhibited a variety of responses to spreading depolarization and a prolonged, essentially permanent decline in the days after controlled cortical impact. These findings confirm that Dex-enhanced coMD delivers valuable information regarding the impact of spreading depolarization and controlled cortical impact on O2 levels in the rat cortex.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cortical spreading depolarisation (CSD) is characterised by a near-complete loss of the ionic membrane potential of cortical neurons and glia propagating across the cerebral cortex, which generates a transient suppression of spontaneous neuronal activity. CSDs have become a recognised phenomenon that imparts ongoing secondary insults after brain injury. Studies delineating CSD generation and propagation in humans after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are lacking. Therefore, this study aims to determine the feasibility of using a multistrip electrode array to identify CSDs and characterise their propagation in space and time after TBI. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This pilot, prospective observational study will enrol patients with TBI requiring therapeutic craniotomy or craniectomy. Subdural electrodes will be placed for continuous electrocorticography monitoring for seizures and CSDs as a research procedure, with surrogate informed consent obtained preoperatively. The propagation of CSDs relative to structural brain pathology will be mapped using reconstructed CT and electrophysiological cross-correlations. The novel use of multiple subdural strip electrodes in conjunction with brain morphometric segmentation is hypothesised to provide sufficient spatial information to characterise CSD propagation across the cerebral cortex and identify cortical foci giving rise to CSDs. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute's ethics committee, HSR 17-4400, 25 October 2017 to present. Study findings will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03321370.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces a pathophysiologic state that can be worsened by secondary injury. Monitoring brain metabolism with intracranial microdialysis can provide clinical insights to limit secondary injury in the days following TBI. Recent enhancements to microdialysis include the implementation of continuously operating electrochemical biosensors for monitoring the dialysate sample stream in real time and dexamethasone retrodialysis to mitigate the tissue response to probe insertion. Dexamethasone-enhanced continuous-online microdialysis (Dex-enhanced coMD) records long-lasting declines of glucose after controlled cortical impact in rats and TBI in patients. The present study employed retrodialysis and fluorescence microscopy to investigate the mechanism responsible for the decline of dialysate glucose after injury of the rat cortex. Findings confirm the long-term functionality of Dex-enhanced coMD for monitoring brain glucose after injury, demonstrate that intracranial glucose microdialysis is coupled to glucose utilization in the tissues surrounding the probes, and validate the conclusion that aberrant glucose utilization drives the postinjury glucose decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) occur in some 60% of patients receiving intensive care following severe traumatic brain injury and often occur at a higher incidence following serious subarachnoid hemorrhage and malignant hemisphere stroke (MHS); they are independently associated with worse clinical outcome. Detection of SDs to guide clinical management, as is now being advocated, currently requires continuous and skilled monitoring of the electrocorticogram (ECoG), frequently extending over many days. METHODS We developed and evaluated in two clinical intensive care units (ICU) a software routine capable of detecting SDs both in real time at the bedside and retrospectively and also capable of displaying patterns of their occurrence with time. We tested this prototype software in 91 data files, each of approximately 24 h, from 18 patients, and the results were compared with those of manual assessment ("ground truth") by an experienced assessor blind to the software outputs. RESULTS The software successfully detected SDs in real time at the bedside, including in patients with clusters of SDs. Counts of SDs by software (dependent variable) were compared with ground truth by the investigator (independent) using linear regression. The slope of the regression was 0.7855 (95% confidence interval 0.7149-0.8561); a slope value of 1.0 lies outside the 95% confidence interval of the slope, representing significant undersensitivity of 79%. R2 was 0.8415. CONCLUSIONS Despite significant undersensitivity, there was no additional loss of sensitivity at high SD counts, thus ensuring that dense clusters of depolarizations of particular pathogenic potential can be detected by software and depicted to clinicians in real time and also be archived.

Abstract
Cognitive deficits following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are common and are associated with learning deficits in school-age children. Some of these deficits include problems with long-term memory, working memory, processing speeds, attention, mental fatigue, and executive function. Processing speed deficits have been associated with alterations in white matter, but the underlying mechanisms of many of the other deficits are unclear. Without a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms we cannot effectively treat these injuries. The goal of these studies is to validate a translatable touchscreen discrimination/reversal task to identify deficits in executive function following a single or repeated mTBIs. Using a mild closed skull injury model in adolescent mice we were able to identify clear deficits in discrimination learning following repeated injuries that were not present from a single mTBI. The repeated injuries were not associated with any deficits in motor-based behavior but did induce a robust increase in astrocyte activation. These studies provide an essential platform to interrogate the underlying neurological dysfunction associated with these injuries.

Abstract
Millions of people suffer mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) every year, and there is growing evidence that repeated injuries can result in long-term pathology. The acute symptoms of these injuries may or may not include the loss of consciousness but do include disorientation, confusion, and/or the inability to concentrate. Most of these acute symptoms spontaneously resolve within a few hours or days. However, the underlying physiological and cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are known to occur in rodents and humans following moderate and severe TBIs, and SDs have long been hypothesized to occur in more mild injuries. Using a closed skull impact model, we investigated the presence of SDs immediately following a mTBI. Animals remained motionless for multiple minutes following an impact and once recovered had fewer episodes of movement. We recorded the defining electrophysiological properties of SDs, including the large extracellular field potential shifts and suppression of high-frequency cortical activity. Impact-induced SDs were also associated with a propagating wave of reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF). In the wake of the SD, there was a prolonged period of reduced CBF that recovered in approximately 90 min. Similar to SDs in more severe injuries, the impact-induced SDs could be blocked with ketamine. Interestingly, impacts at a slower velocity did not produce the prolonged immobility and did not initiate SDs. Our data suggest that SDs play a significant role in mTBIs and SDs may contribute to the acute symptoms of mTBIs.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) is an emerging mode of secondary neuronal damage in acute brain injury (ABI). Subsequent repolarisation is a metabolic process requiring glucose. Instances of CSD and glucose derangement are both linked to poor neurological outcome, but their causal inter-relationship is not fully defined. This systematic review seeks to evaluate the available human evidence studying CSD and glucose to further understand their dynamic relationship. We conducted a systematic review of studies examining CSD through electrocorticography and cerebral/systemic glucose concentrations in ABI, excluding animal studies. The search yielded 478 articles, of which 13 were eligible. Across 10 manuscripts, 125 patients received simultaneous monitoring, with 1987 CSD episodes observed. Eight of 10 studies observed correlation between CSD and glucose change. Seven of eight studies observed possible cumulative effect of recurrent CSD on glucose derangement and two identified correlation between glycopenia and incidence of CSD. These findings confirm a relationship between CSD and glucose, and suggest it may be cyclical, where CSD causes local glycopenia, which may potentiate further CSD. Positive observations were not common to all studies, likely due to differing methodology or heterogeneity in CSD propensity. Further study is required to delineate the utility of the clinical modulation of serum and cerebral glucose to alter the propensity for CSD following brain injury.

Abstract
A modern understanding of how cerebral cortical lesions develop after acute brain injury is based on Aristides Leão's historic discoveries of spreading depression and asphyxial/anoxic depolarization. Treated as separate entities for decades, we now appreciate that these events define a continuum of spreading mass depolarizations, a concept that is central to understanding their pathologic effects. Within minutes of acute severe ischemia, the onset of persistent depolarization triggers the breakdown of ion homeostasis and development of cytotoxic edema. These persistent changes are diagnosed as diffusion restriction in magnetic resonance imaging and define the ischemic core. In delayed lesion growth, transient spreading depolarizations arise spontaneously in the ischemic penumbra and induce further persistent depolarization and excitotoxic damage, progressively expanding the ischemic core. The causal role of these waves in lesion development has been proven by real-time monitoring of electrophysiology, blood flow, and cytotoxic edema. The spreading depolarization continuum further applies to other models of acute cortical lesions, suggesting that it is a universal principle of cortical lesion development. These pathophysiologic concepts establish a working hypothesis for translation to human disease, where complex patterns of depolarizations are observed in acute brain injury and appear to mediate and signal ongoing secondary damage.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Spreading depression (SD) is a wave of simultaneous and near-complete depolarization of virtually all cells in brain tissue associated with a transient "depression" of all spontaneous or evoked electrical activity in the brain. SD is widely accepted as the pathophysiological event underlying migraine aura and may play a role in headache pathogenesis in secondary headache disorders such as ischemic stroke, subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. Here, we provide an overview of the pathogenic mechanisms and propose plausible hypotheses on the involvement of SD in primary and secondary headache disorders. RECENT FINDINGS SD can activate downstream trigeminovascular nociceptive pathways to explain the cephalgia in migraine, and possibly in secondary headache disorders as well. In healthy, well-nourished tissue (such as migraine), the intense transmembrane ionic shifts, the cell swelling, and the metabolic and hemodynamic responses associated with SD do not cause tissue injury; however, when SD occurs in metabolically compromised tissue (e.g., in ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury), it can lead to irreversible depolarization, injury, and neuronal death. Recent non-invasive technologies to detect SDs in human brain injury may aid in the investigation of SD in headache disorders in which invasive recordings are not possible. SD explains migraine aura and progression of neurological deficits associated with other neurological disorders. Studying the nature of SD in headache disorders might provide pathophysiological insights for disease and lead to targeted therapies in the era of precision medicine.

Abstract
Cerebral microdialysis has enabled the clinical characterization of excitotoxicity (glutamate >10 μM) and non-ischemic metabolic crisis (lactate/pyruvate ratio [LPR] >40) as important components of secondary damage in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Spreading depolarizations (SD) are pathological waves that occur in many patients in the days following TBI and, in animal models, cause elevations in extracellular glutamate, increased anaerobic metabolism, and energy substrate depletion. Here, we examined the association of SD with changes in cerebral neurochemistry by placing a microdialysis probe alongside a subdural electrode strip in peri-lesional cortex of 16 TBI patients requiring neurosurgery. In 107 h (median; range: 76-117 h) of monitoring, 135 SDs were recorded in six patients. Glutamate (50 μmol/L) and lactate (3.7 mmol/L) were significantly elevated on day 0 in patients with SD compared with subsequent days and with patients without SD, whereas pyruvate was decreased in the latter group on days 0 and 1 (two-way analysis of variance [ANOVA], p values <0.05). In patients with SD, both glutamate and LPR increased in a dose-dependent manner with the number of SDs in the microdialysis sampling period (0, 1, ≥2 SD) [glutamate: 2.1→7.0→52.3 μmol/L; LPR: 27.8→29.9→45.0, p values <0.05]. In these patients, there was a 10% probability of SD occurring when glutamate and LPR were in normal ranges, but a 60% probability when both variables were abnormal (>10 μmol/L and >40 μmol/L, respectively). Taken together with previous studies, these preliminary clinical results suggest SDs are a key pathophysiological process of secondary brain injury associated with non-ischemic glutamate excitotoxicity and severe metabolic crisis in severe TBI patients.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) has been associated with many pathological entities including migraine, trauma, hemorrhage, and mitochondrial disease. The clinical diagnosis remains challenging without the other concomitant features such as headache because CSD can mimic seizure or acute stroke. Wereport of a 77 year-old right handed man with a left subdural hematoma evacuation that subsequently developed episodic aphasia, slurred speech, right nasolabial fold flattening, and right pronator drift. In this case report, we discuss our multimodal diagnostic approach and treatment in a patient with episodic aphasia and neurological deficits in order to propose the diagnosis of cortical spreading depression. CSD should be considered when focal deficits in brief episodes occur after stroke and seizures have been ruled out. Treatment choices as illustrated by this case report can have an impact on outcome and resolution of episodes.

Abstract
Brain swelling and increased intracranial pressure (ICP) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) contribute to poor outcome. Vasopressin-1a receptors (V1aR) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) regulate water transport and brain edema formation, perhaps in part by modulating cation fluxes. After focal TBI, V1aR inhibitors diminish V1aR and AQP4, reduce astrocytic swelling and brain edema. We determined whether V1aR inhibition with SR49059 after lateral controlled-cortical-impact (CCI) injury affects extracellular Na(+) and K(+) concentrations ([Na(+)]e; [K(+)]e). Ion-selective Na(+) and K(+) electrodes (ISE) and an ICP probe were implanted in rat parietal cortex, and [Na(+)]e, [K(+)]e, and physiological parameters were monitored for 5 h post-CCI. Sham-vehicle-ISE, CCI-vehicle-ISE and CCI-SR49059-ISE groups were studied, and SR49059 was administered 5 min to 5 h post-injury. We found a significant injury-induced decrease in [Na(+)]e to 80.1 ± 15 and 87.9 ± 7.9 mM and increase in [K(+)]e to 20.9 ± 3.8 and 13.4 ± 3.4 mM at 5 min post-CCI in CCI-vehicle-ISE and CCI-SR49059-ISE groups, respectively (p<0.001 vs. baseline; ns between groups). Importantly, [Na(+)]e in CCI-SR49059-ISE was reduced 5-20 min post-injury and increased to baseline at 25 min, whereas recovery in CCI-vehicle-ISE required more than 1 hr, suggesting SR49059 accelerated [Na(+)]e recovery. In contrast, [K(+)]e recovery took 45 min in both groups. Further, ICP was lower in the CCI-SR49059-ISE group. Thus, selective V1aR inhibition allowed faster [Na(+)]e recovery and reduced ICP. By augmenting the [Na(+)]e recovery rate, SR49059 may reduce trauma-induced ionic imbalance, blunting cellular water influx and edema after TBI. These findings suggest SR49059 and V1aR inhibitors are potential tools for treating cellular edema post-TBI.

Abstract
Despite many efforts, the pathophysiology and mechanism of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) have not yet been elucidated, partially due to the difficulty of real-time diagnosis and extremely complex factors determining the outcome. In this study, we topically applied a laser-induced shock wave (LISW) to the rat brain through the skull, for which real-time measurements of optical diffuse reflectance and electroencephalogram (EEG) were performed. Even under conditions showing no clear changes in systemic physiological parameters, the brain showed a drastic light scattering change accompanied by EEG suppression, which indicated the occurrence of spreading depression, long-lasting hypoxemia and signal change indicating mitochondrial energy impairment. Under the standard LISW conditions examined, hemorrhage and contusion were not apparent in the cortex. To investigate events associated with spreading depression, measurement of direct current (DC) potential, light scattering imaging and stereomicroscopic observation of blood vessels were also conducted for the brain. After LISW application, we observed a distinct negative shift in the DC potential, which temporally coincided with the transit of a light scattering wave, showing the occurrence of spreading depolarization and concomitant change in light scattering. Blood vessels in the brain surface initially showed vasodilatation for 3-4 min, which was followed by long-lasting vasoconstriction, corresponding to hypoxemia. Computer simulation based on the inverse Monte Carlo method showed that hemoglobin oxygen saturation declined to as low as ∼35% in the long-term hypoxemic phase. Overall, we found that topical application of a shock wave to the brain caused spreading depolarization/depression and prolonged severe hypoxemia-oligemia, which might lead to pathological conditions in the brain. Although further study is needed, our findings suggest that spreading depolarization/depression is one of the key events determining the outcome in bTBI. Furthermore, a rat exposed to an LISW(s) can be a reliable laboratory animal model for blast injury research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to evaluate electrically evoked thresholds for cortical spreading depression (CSD) and stress-induced activation of trigeminal afferents in a rat model of medication-overuse headache (MOH). METHODS Sumatriptan or saline was delivered subcutaneously by osmotic minipump for six days to Sprague-Dawley rats. Two weeks after pump removal, animals were anesthetized and recording/stimulating electrodes implanted. The animals were pretreated with vehicle or topiramate followed by graded electrical stimulation within the visual cortex. CSD events were identified by decreased EEG amplitude and DC potential shift. Additional unanesthetized sumatriptan or saline-pretreated rats were exposed to bright light environmental stress and periorbital and hindpaw withdrawal thresholds were measured. Following CSD stimulation or environmental stress, immunohistochemical staining for Fos in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) was performed. RESULTS Sumatriptan pre-exposure significantly decreased electrical stimulation threshold to generate a CSD event. Topiramate normalized the decreased CSD threshold as well as stress-induced behavioral withdrawal thresholds in sumatriptan-treated rats compared to saline-treated animals. Moreover, CSD and environmental stress increased Fos expression in the TNC of sumatriptan-treated rats, and these effects were blocked by topiramate. Environmental stress did not elicit cutaneous allodynia or elevate TNC Fos expression in saline-treated rats. CONCLUSIONS A previous period of sumatriptan exposure produced long-lasting increased susceptibility to evoked CSD and environmental stress-induced activation of the TNC that was prevented by topiramate. Lowered CSD threshold, and enhanced consequences of CSD events (increased activation of TNC), may represent an underlying biological mechanism of MOH related to triptans.

Abstract
Objective To observe the relationship between the perihematomal glutamate levels and the blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability in a rabbit model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods Seventy-two rabbits were randomly divided into an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) model group and a normal control (NC) group, and each group of 36 rabbits was subsequently divided into 6, 12, 18, 24, 48 and 72 h groups (n = 6 each). An ICH model was induced by stereotactic injection of autologous, arterial, non-anticoagulated blood into rabbit basal ganglia. The same procedures were performed in the NC group, but blood was not injected. The rabbits were sacrificed at specific time points after the experiment began depending on their group. Perihematomal brain tissues were collected to determine glutamate levels, BBB permeability and brain water content (BWC). Results All of the assessed parameters were increased 6 hour after blood infusion and continued to gradually increase, peaking at 48 hours. Differences were observed when ICH values were compared with those of the NC group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Perihematomal glutamate increased significantly after ICH. High levels of glutamate are closely associated with BBB disruption and the brain edema. Therefore, glutamate may play an important role in the pathogenesis of secondary brain injury after (ICH).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To observe the effects of performing a minimally invasive procedure at different stages after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) on perihematomal glutamate level and neurological function. METHODS Forty-eight rabbits were randomly placed into a model control group (MC group, 24 rabbits) or a minimally invasive group (MI group, 24 rabbits). An ICH model was established in all of the animals. In the MI group, the ICH was evacuated by minimally invasive procedures in 6h (6 rabbits), 12h (6 rabbits), 18h (6 rabbits) and 24h (6 rabbits) after the ICH model was successfully induced. All of the animals were sacrificed within 48h after the hematoma was evacuated by surgery. A neurological deficit score was determined, and the perihematomal glutamate level and the BBB permeability were measured. RESULTS The neurological deficit score, perihematomal glutamate level and BBB permeability of the MI group were decreased significantly compared with the MC group. Performing the minimally invasive procedures in 6-12 h after ICH showed the most significant decreases of the glutamate level, BBB permeability and neurological deficit score. CONCLUSIONS The optimal time window of performing the minimally invasive procedures for the intracerebral hematoma evacuation might be within 6-12 h after hemorrhage.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to observe the pathophysiological time window of performing minimally invasive procedures for the intracerebral hematoma evacuation. Thirty-six rabbits were randomly placed in either a normal control group (NC group, 6 rabbits), a model control group (MC group, 6 rabbits) or a minimally invasive group (MI group, 24 rabbits). A model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was established in the MC and MI groups. In the MI group, the intracerebral hematoma was evacuated by stereotactic minimally invasive procedures over 6h (6 rabbits), 12h (6 rabbits), 18 h (6 rabbits) and 24h (6 rabbits), following successful induction of ICH. All of the animals in each group were sacrificed 48 h after the successful induction of ICH. Perihematomal brain tissues were removed to determine the glutamate level, BBB permeability and brain water content (BWC). The perihematomal glutamate level, BBB permeability and the BWC in the MI group were significantly decreased compared with those of the MC group. Performing minimally invasive procedures for evacuation of ICH in 6h showed the most remarkable decrease of the glutamate level, BBB permeability and BWC, followed by a significant difference observed at 12h within the MI subgroups. Performing minimally invasive procedures in early stages after ICH for the hematoma evacuation could decrease the perihematomal glutamate level, BBB permeability and BWC significantly. The pathophysiological time window of minimally invasive procedures for hematoma evacuation might be 6-12h after hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a wave of depolarization followed by depression of bioelectrical activity that slowly propagates through the cortex. CSD is believed to be the underlying mechanism of aura in migraine; however, whether CSD can elicit pain associated with migraine headache is unclear. METHODS Awake, freely moving rats were monitored for both CSD events and behavioral responses resulting from dural-cortical pinprick and/or KCl injection to the occipital cortex. RESULTS We observed tactile allodynia of the face and hindpaws, as well as enhanced Fos expression within the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) following CSD induced by KCl injection into the cortex, but not by pinprick. Application of KCl onto the dura elicited cutaneous allodynia and increased Fos staining in the TNC but did not elicit CSD events. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that sustained activation of trigeminal afferents that may be required to establish cutaneous allodynia may not occur following CSD events in normal animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To observe the effects of the minimally invasive removal of an intracerebral hematoma on the glutamate concentration, blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and brain water content in the brain tissue surrounding the hematoma and to provide a theoretical basis for minimally invasive removal of intracerebral hematomas. METHODS Thirty rabbits (2.8-3.4 kg body weight) were selected to establish a model of intracerebral hemorrhage, and they were randomly divided into a model control group and a minimally invasive group after the model was prepared successfully. The intracerebral hematoma was evacuated by stereotactic procedures in minimally invasive group 6 h after the model was established. The glutamate content, the permeability of the BBB and the brain water content in perihematomal brain tissues were determined and compared between the two groups. RESULTS The glutamate content, the permeability of the BBB and the brain water content in the perihematomal brain tissues were significantly decreased compared to the model control group 1, 3, and 7 days after the minimally invasive removal of the intracerebral hematoma. CONCLUSIONS Minimally invasive surgery for removal of an intracerebral hematoma could significantly reduce the glutamate content, BBB permeability and the brain water content in perihematomal brain tissues.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarizations occur spontaneously after ischaemic, haemorrhagic and traumatic brain injury. Their effects vary spatially and temporally as graded phenomena, from infarction to complete recovery, and are reflected in the duration of depolarization measured by the negative direct current shift of electrocorticographic recordings. In the focal ischaemic penumbra, peri-infarct depolarizations have prolonged direct current shifts and cause progressive recruitment of the penumbra into the core infarct. In traumatic brain injury, the effects of spreading depolarizations are unknown, although prolonged events have not been observed in animal models. To determine whether detrimental penumbral-type depolarizations occur in human brain trauma, we analysed electrocorticographic recordings obtained by subdural electrode-strip monitoring during intensive care. Of 53 patients studied, 10 exhibited spreading depolarizations in an electrophysiologic penumbra (i.e. isoelectric cortex with no spontaneous activity). All 10 patients (100%) with isoelectric spreading depolarizations had poor outcomes, defined as death, vegetative state, or severe disability at 6 months. In contrast, poor outcomes were observed in 60% of patients (12/20) who had spreading depolarizations with depression of spontaneous activity and only 26% of patients (6/23) who had no depolarizations (χ2, P<0.001). Spontaneous electrocorticographic activity and direct current shifts of depolarizations were further examined in nine patients. Direct current shift durations (n=295) were distributed with a significant positive skew (range 0:51-16:19 min:s), evidencing a normally distributed group of short events and a sub-group of prolonged events. Prolonged direct current shifts were more commonly associated with isoelectric depolarizations (median 2 min 36 s), whereas shorter depolarizations occurred with depression of spontaneous activity (median 2 min 10 s; P<0.001). In the latter group, direct current shift durations correlated with electrocorticographic depression periods, and were longer when preceded by periodic epileptiform discharges than by continuous delta (0.5-4.0 Hz) or higher frequency activity. Prolonged direct current shifts (>3 min) also occurred mainly within temporal clusters of events. Our results show for the first time that spreading depolarizations are associated with worse clinical outcome after traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, based on animal models of brain injury, the prolonged durations of depolarizations raise the possibility that these events may contribute to maturation of cortical lesions. Prolonged depolarizations, measured by negative direct current shifts, were associated with (i) isoelectricity or periodic epileptiform discharges; (ii) prolonged depression of spontaneous activity and (iii) occurrence in temporal clusters. Depolarizations with these characteristics are likely to reflect a worse prognosis.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) and depolarization waves are associated with dramatic failure of brain ion homeostasis, efflux of excitatory amino acids from nerve cells, increased energy metabolism and changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF). There is strong clinical and experimental evidence to suggest that CSD is involved in the mechanism of migraine, stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury. The implications of these findings are widespread and suggest that intrinsic brain mechanisms have the potential to worsen the outcome of cerebrovascular episodes or brain trauma. The consequences of these intrinsic mechanisms are intimately linked to the composition of the brain extracellular microenvironment and to the level of brain perfusion and in consequence brain energy supply. This paper summarizes the evidence provided by novel invasive techniques, which implicates CSD as a pathophysiological mechanism for this group of acute neurological disorders. The findings have implications for monitoring and treatment of patients with acute brain disorders in the intensive care unit. Drawing on the large body of experimental findings from animal studies of CSD obtained during decades we suggest treatment strategies, which may be used to prevent or attenuate secondary neuronal damage in acutely injured human brain cortex caused by depolarization waves.

Abstract
Here we investigated the incidence of cortical spreading depolarizations (spreading depression and peri-infarct depolarization) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their relationship to systemic physiologic values during neurointensive care. Subdural electrode strips were placed on peri-contusional cortex in 32 patients who underwent surgical treatment for TBI. Prospective electrocorticography was performed during neurointensive care with retrospective analysis of hourly nursing chart data. Recordings were 84 hr (median) per patient and 2,503 hr in total. In 17 patients (53%), 280 spreading depolarizations (spreading depressions and peri-infarct depolarizations) were observed. Depolarizations occurred in a bimodal pattern with peak incidence on days 1 and 7. The probability of a depolarization occurring increased significantly as a function of declining mean arterial pressure (MAP; R(2) = 0.78; p < 0.001) and cerebral perfusion pressure (R(2) = 0.85; p < 0.01), and increasing core temperature (R(2) = 0.44; p < 0.05). Depolarization probability was 7% for MAP values of >100 mm Hg but 33% for MAP of < or =70 mm Hg. Temperatures of < or =38.4 degrees C were associated with a 21% depolarization risk, compared to 63% for >38.4 degrees C. Intracranial pressures were higher in patients with depolarizations (18.3 +/- 9.3 vs. 13.5 +/- 6.7 mm Hg; p < 0.001). We conclude that depolarization phenomena are a common cortical pathology in TBI. Their association with lower perfusion levels and higher temperatures suggests that the labile balance of energy supply and demand is an important determinant of their occurrence. Monitoring of depolarizations might serve as a functional measure to guide therapeutic efforts and their blockade may provide an additional line of defense against the effects of secondary insults.

Abstract
Significant fluctuations in serum glucose levels accompany the stress response of surgery or acute injury and may be associated with vascular or neurologic morbidity. Maintenance of euglycemia with intensive insulin therapy (IIT) continues to be investigated as a therapeutic intervention to decrease morbidity associated with derangements in glucose metabolism. Hypoglycemia is a common side effect of IIT with potential for significant morbidity, especially in the neurologically injured patient. Differences in cerebral versus systemic glucose metabolism, the time course of cerebral response to injury, and heterogeneity of pathophysiology in neurosurgical patient populations are important to consider in evaluating the risks and benefits of IIT. While extremes of glucose levels are to be avoided, there are little data to support specific use of IIT for maintenance of euglycemia in the perioperative management of neurosurgical patients. Existing data are summarized and reviewed in this context.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights recent advances in cerebral microdialysis for investigational and clinical neurochemical monitoring in patients with critical neurological conditions. RECENT FINDINGS Use of microdialysis with other methods, including PET, electrophysiological monitoring and brain tissue oximetry in traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage with vasospasm, and infarction with refractory increased intracranial pressure have been reported. Potentially adverse neurochemical effects of nonconvulsive status epilepticus and cortical slow depolarization waves, both of which are increasingly recognized in traumatic brain injury and stroke patients, have been reported. The explosive growth in the use of cerebral oximetry with targeted management of brain tissue oxygen levels is leading to greater understanding of derangements of cerebral bioenergetics in the critically ill brain, but there remain unresolved basic issues. Understanding of the analytes that are measurable at the bedside - glucose, lactate, pyruvate, glutamate and glycerol - continues to evolve with glucose, lactate, pyruvate and the lactate-pyruvate ratio taking center stage. Analytes including inflammatory biomarkers such as cytokines and metabolites of nitric oxide are presently investigational, but hold promise for future application in advancing our understanding of basic pathophysiology, therapeutic target selection and prognostication. Growing consensus on indications for use of clinical microdialysis and advances in commercially available equipment continue to make microdialysis increasingly 'ready for prime time.' SUMMARY Cerebral microdialysis is an established tool for neurochemical research in the ICU. This technique cannot be fruitfully used in isolation, but when combined with other monitoring methods provides unique insights into the biochemical and physiological derangements in the injured brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the co-occurrence and interrelation of ictal activity and cortical spreading depressions (CSDs) - including the related periinfarct depolarisations in acute brain injury caused by trauma, and spontaneous subarachnoid and/or intracerebral haemorrhage. METHODS 63 patients underwent craniotomy and electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings were taken near foci of damaged cortical tissue for up to 10 days. RESULTS 32 of 63 patients exhibited CSDs (5-75 episodes) and 11 had ECoGraphic seizure activity (1-81 episodes). Occurrence of seizures was significantly associated with CSD, as 10 of 11 patients with seizures also had CSD (p=0.007, 2-tailed Fishers exact test). Clinically overt seizures were only observed in one patient. Each patient with CSD and seizures displayed one of four different patterns of interaction between CSD and seizures. In four patients CSD was immediately preceded by prolonged seizure activity. In three patients the two phenomena were separated in time: multiple CSDs were replaced by ictal activity. In one patient seizures appeared to trigger repeated CSDs at the adjacent electrode. In 2 patients ongoing repeated seizures were interrupted each time CSD occurred. CONCLUSIONS Seizure activity occurs in association with CSD in the injured human brain. SIGNIFICANCE ECoG recordings in brain injury patients provide insight into pathophysiological mechanisms, which are not accessible by scalp EEG recordings.
