Ligation of cervical lymphatic vessels decelerates blood clearance and worsens outcomes after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. Brain Res 2024; 1837:148855. [PMID: 38471644 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.148855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is characterized by the extravasation of blood into the subarachnoid space, in which erythrocyte lysis is the primary contributor to cell death and brain injuries. New evidence has indicated that meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) are essential in guiding fluid and macromolecular waste from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLNs). However, the role of mLVs in clearing erythrocytes after SAH has not been completely elucidated. Hence, we conducted a cross-species study. Autologous blood was injected into the subarachnoid space of rabbits and rats to induce SAH. Erythrocytes in the CSF were measured with/without deep cervical lymph vessels (dCLVs) ligation. Additionally, prior to inducing SAH, we administered rats with vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C), which is essential for meningeal lymphangiogenesis and maintaining integrity and survival of lymphatic vessels. The results showed that the blood clearance rate was significantly lower after dCLVs ligation in both the rat and rabbit models. DCLVs ligation aggravated neuroinflammation, neuronal damage, brain edema, and behavioral impairment after SAH. Conversely, the treatment of VEGF-C enhanced meningeal lymphatic drainage of erythrocytes and improved outcomes in SAH. In summary, our research highlights the indispensable role of the meningeal lymphatic pathway in the clearance of blood and mediating consequences after SAH.

Abstract
The structural and functional features of lymphatic vessels in the peripheral nervous system (pLVs) is still unclear. Here, we clarify the existence of pLVs in rats, PROX1-EGFP transgenic mice and human, and exhibit a clear three-dimensional structure for helping understand its structural features. Moreover, two specific phenotypes of lymphatics endothelial cells (Rnd1Hi LECs and Ccl21Hi LECs) in peripheral nerves are well characterized by single-cell sequencing. Subsequently, the ability of trans-lymphatic delivery to peripheral nerves via pLVs has been dynamically demonstrated. After peripheral nerve injury (PNI), extensive lymphangiogenesis occurs in the lesion area and further enhances the efficiency of retrograde lymphatic-nerve transport. In PNI animal models, subcutaneously footpad-injected exosomes are efficiently delivered to sciatic nerve via pLVs which can promote nerve regeneration. The trans-lymphatic delivery to peripheral nerves via pLVs can subtly bypass BNB which provides an easy and alternative delivery route for PNI treatment.

Abstract
The discovery of the glymphatic system has fundamentally altered our comprehension of cerebrospinal fluid transport and the removal of waste from brain metabolism. In the past decade, since its initial characterization, research on the glymphatic system has surged exponentially. Its potential implications for central nervous system disorders have sparked significant interest in the field of neurosurgery. Nonetheless, ongoing discussions and debates persist regarding the concept of the glymphatic system, and our current understanding largely relies on findings from experimental animal studies. This review aims to address several key inquiries: What methodologies exist for evaluating glymphatic function in humans today? What is the current evidence supporting the existence of a human glymphatic system? Can the glymphatic system be considered distinct from the meningeal-lymphatic system? What is the human evidence for glymphatic-meningeal lymphatic system failure in neurosurgical diseases? Existing literature indicates a paucity of techniques available for assessing glymphatic function in humans. Thus far, intrathecal contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown the most promising results and have provided evidence for the presence of a glymphatic system in humans, albeit with limitations. It is, however, essential to recognize the interconnection between the glymphatic and meningeal lymphatic systems, as they operate in tandem. There are some human studies demonstrating deteriorations in glymphatic function associated with neurosurgical disorders, enriching our understanding of their pathophysiology. However, the translation of this knowledge into clinical practice is hindered by the constraints of current glymphatic imaging modalities.

Brain Res Bull 2024; 211:110936.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a prevalent form of intracranial haemorrhage encountered in neurosurgical practice, and its incidence has notably risen in recent years. Currently, there is a lack of studies that have comprehensively classified the cells present in hematomas removed during surgery, and their correlation with CSDH recurrence remains elusive. This study aims to analyse the subcellular populations and occupancy levels within peripheral blood. METHODS This study analyses the subcellular populations and occupancy levels within peripheral blood and postoperatively removed hematomas by single-cell sequencing and attempts to analyse the effect of different cell occupancies within peripheral blood and intraoperatively removed hematomas on CSDH. RESULTS The single-cell sequencing results showed that the cells were classified into 25 clusters by differential gene and UMAP dimensionality reduction clustering analyses and further classified into 17 significant cell populations by cell markers: pDCs, CD8 T cells, CD4 T cells, MigDCs, cDC2s, cDC1s, plasma cells, neutrophils, naive B cells, NK cells, memory B cells, M2 macrophages, CD8 Teffs, CD8 MAIT cells, CD4 Tregs, CD19 B cells, and monocytes. Further research showed that the presence of more cDC2 and M2 macrophages recruited at the focal site in patients with CSDH and the upregulation of the level of T-cell occupancy may be a red flag for further brain damage. ROS, a marker of oxidative stress, was significantly upregulated in cDC2 cells and may mediate the functioning of transcription proteins of inflammatory factors, such as NFκB, which induced T cells' activation. Moreover, cDC2 may regulate M2 macrophage immune infiltration and anti-inflammatory activity by secreting IL1β and binding to M2 macrophage IL1R protein. CONCLUSION The detailed classification of cells in the peripheral blood and hematoma site of CSDH patients helps us to understand the mechanism of CSDH generation and the reduction in the probability of recurrence by regulating the ratio of cell subpopulations.

The Impact of VEGF-C-Induced Dural Lymphatic Vessel Growth on Ischemic Stroke Pathology. Transl Stroke Res 2024:10.1007/s12975-024-01262-9. [PMID: 38822994 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-024-01262-9] [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: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Timely relief of edema and clearance of waste products, as well as promotion of anti-inflammatory immune responses, reduce ischemic stroke pathology, and attenuate harmful long-term effects post-stroke. The discovery of an extensive and functional lymphatic vessel system in the outermost meningeal layer, dura mater, has opened up new possibilities to facilitate post-stroke recovery by inducing dural lymphatic vessel (dLV) growth via a single injection of a vector encoding vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C). In the present study, we aimed to improve post-stroke outcomes by inducing dLV growth in mice. We injected mice with a single intracerebroventricular dose of adeno-associated viral particles encoding VEGF-C before subjecting them to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAo). Behavioral testing, Gadolinium (Gd) contrast agent-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and immunohistochemical analysis were performed to define the impact of VEGF-C on the post-stroke outcome. VEGF-C improved stroke-induced behavioral deficits, such as gait disturbances and neurological deficits, ameliorated post-stroke inflammation, and enhanced an alternative glial immune response. Importantly, VEGF-C treatment increased the drainage of brain interstitial fluid (ISF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as shown by Gd-enhanced MRI. These outcomes were closely associated with an increase in the growth of dLVs around the region where we observed increased vefgc mRNA expression within the brain, including the olfactory bulb, cortex, and cerebellum. Strikingly, VEGF-C-treated ischemic mice exhibited a faster and stronger Gd-signal accumulation in ischemic core area and an enhanced fluid outflow via the cribriform plate. In conclusion, the VEGF-C-induced dLV growth improved the overall outcome post-stroke, indicating that VEGF-C has potential to be included in the treatment strategies of post-ischemic stroke. However, to maximize the therapeutic potential of VEGF-C treatment, further studies on the impact of an enhanced dural lymphatic system at clinically relevant time points are essential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs) are generally known to result from traumatic tears of bridging veins. However, the causes of repeat spontaneous cSDHs are still unclear. We investigated the changes in vasculature in the human dura mater and outer membrane (OM) of cSDHs to elucidate the cause of their spontaneous repetition. METHODS The dura mater was obtained from a normal control participant and a patient with repeat spontaneous cSDHs. The pathological samples from the patient included the dura mater and OM tightly adhered to the inner dura. The samples were analyzed with a particular focus on blood and lymphatic vessels by immunohistochemistry, 3-dimensional imaging using a transparent tissue clearing technique, and electron microscopy. RESULTS The dural border cell (DBC) layer of the dura mater and OM were histologically indistinguishable. There were 5.9 times more blood vessels per unit volume of tissue in the DBC layer and OM in the patient than in the normal control. The DBC layer and OM contained pathological sinusoidal capillaries not observed in the normal tissue; these capillaries were connected to the middle meningeal arteries via penetrating arteries. In addition, marked lymphangiogenesis in the periosteal and meningeal layers was observed in the patient with cSDHs. CONCLUSION Neovascularization in the OM seemed to originate from the DBC layer; this is a potential cause of repeat spontaneous cSDHs. Embolization of the meningeal arteries to interrupt the blood supply to pathological capillaries via penetrating arteries may be an effective treatment option.

Vitamin D accelerates the subdural hematoma clearance through improving the meningeal lymphatic vessel function. Mol Cell Biochem 2024:10.1007/s11010-023-04918-6.

Abstract
Subdural hematoma (SDH) drains into the extracranial lymphatic system through the meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) but the formation of SDH impairs mLVs. Because vitamin D (Vit D) can protect the endothelial cells, we hypothesized that Vit D may enhance the SDH clearance. SDH was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats and treated with Vit D or vehicle. Hematoma volume in each group was measured by H&E staining and hemoglobin quantification. Evans blue (EB) quantification and red blood cells injection were used to evaluated the drainage of mLVs. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence were conducted to assess the expression of lymphatic protein markers. We also examined the inflammatory factors levels in subdural space by ELISA. Vit D treatment significantly reduced SDH volume and improved the drainage of SDH to cervical lymph nodes. The structure of mLVs in SDH rats were protected by Vit D, and the expressions of LYVE1, PROX1, FOXC2, and VE-cadherin were increased after Vit D treatment. The TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 levels were reduced in Vit D group. In vitro, Vit D also increased the VE-cadherin expression levels under inflammation. Vit D protects the structure of mLVs and enhances the absorption of SDH, partly by the anti-inflammatory effect of Vit D.

Inactivation of ERK1/2 signaling mediates dysfunction of basal meningeal lymphatic vessels in experimental subdural hematoma. Theranostics 2024; 14:304-323.

Abstract
Rationale: Meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) are essential for the clearance of subdural hematoma (SDH). However, SDH impairs their drainage function, and the pathogenesis remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to understand the pathological mechanisms of MLV dysfunction following SDH and to test whether atorvastatin, an effective drug for SDH clearance, improves meningeal lymphatic drainage (MLD). Methods: We induced SDH models in rats by injecting autologous blood into the subdural space and evaluated MLD using Gadopentetate D, Evans blue, and CFSE-labeled erythrocytes. Whole-mount immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to detect the morphology of MLVs. Phosphoproteomics, western blot, flow cytometry, and in vitro experiments were performed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying dysfunctional MLVs. Results: The basal MLVs were detected to have abundant valves and play an important role in draining subdural substances. Following SDH, these basal MLVs exhibited disrupted endothelial junctions and dilated lumen, leading to impaired MLD. Subsequent proteomics analysis of the meninges detected numerous dephosphorylated proteins, primarily enriched in the adherens junction, including significant dephosphorylation of ERK1/2 within the meningeal lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). Subdural injection of the ERK1/2 kinase inhibitor PD98059 resulted in dilated basal MLVs and impaired MLD, resembling the dysfunctional MLVs observed in SDH. Moreover, inhibiting ERK1/2 signaling severely disrupted intercellular junctions between cultured LECs. Finally, atorvastatin was revealed to protect the structure of basal MLVs and accelerate MLD following SDH. However, these beneficial effects of atorvastatin were abolished when combined with PD98059. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that SDH induces ERK1/2 dephosphorylation in meningeal LECs, leading to disrupted basal MLVs and impaired MLD. Additionally, we reveal a beneficial effect of atorvastatin in improving MLD.

Abstract
In this study on healthy male mice using confocal imaging of dye spreading in the brain and its further accumulation in the peripheral lymphatics, we demonstrate stronger effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on the brain's drainage system in sleeping vs. awake animals. Using the Pavlovian instrumental transfer probe and the 2-objects-location test, we found that the 10-day course of PBM during sleep vs. wakefulness promotes improved learning and spatial memory in mice. For the first time, we present the technology for PBM under electroencephalographic (EEG) control that incorporates modern state of the art facilities of optoelectronics and biopotential detection and that can be built of relatively cheap and commercially available components. These findings open a new niche in the development of smart technologies for phototherapy of brain diseases during sleep.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy of neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation (NHE) and burr hole craniotomy (BHC) for treating septated chronic subdural hematoma (sCSDH) and analyze the technical advantages of NHE in sCSDH treatment by data analysis. METHODS This study recruited 77 patients with sCSDH According to the type of operation, the patients were divided into NHE (n = 45) or BHC (n = 32) groups. Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of NHE and BHC for treating sCSDH. RESULTS NHE demonstrated higher complete hematoma clearance and postoperative midline recovery rates and shorter subdural drainage and postoperative bed rest durations compared with BHC (P < 0.05). The average NHE time (72.27 ± 18.27 minutes) was longer than that of BHC (54.91 ± 16.04 minutes) (P < 0.05). The average follow-up period was 30.9 (range, 7-51) months. The results revealed that 1 and 12 cases recurred in the NHE (2.2%) and BHC (18.8%) groups, respectively (P < 0.05). Additionally, a statistically significant difference in the Modified Rankin Scale scores of the 2 groups was observed 6 months after the operation (P < 0.05). During the follow-up period, neither group demonstrated any obvious operative complications. CONCLUSIONS NHE is more effective than BHC for treating sCSDH and is worth popularizing on a large scale; however, ways to better deal with the outer membrane of hematoma warrant further consideration.

[PMID: 38133745 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-023-01227-4] [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: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) were recently discovered to be involved in the waste drainage process in the brain, which has also been associated with a variety of neurological diseases. This research paper hypothesizes that the drainage function of mLVs may be affected after chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) and the alterations of mLVs' drainage may predict CSDH recurrence. In this prospective observational study, unenhanced 3D T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D T2-FLAIR) MRI data were collected from CSDH patients and healthy participants for analysis. Patients with CSDH who underwent surgery received MRI scans before and after surgery, whereas healthy controls and patients with CSDH who received pharmaceutical treatment received only one MRI scan at enrollment. The signal unit ratio (SUR) of mLVs were then measured according to the MRI data and calculated to define mLVs' drainage function. Finally, the relationship between mLVs' drainage function and CSDH recurrence was analyzed accordingly. Thirty-four participants were enrolled in this study, including 27 CSDH patients and 7 controls. The SUR of mLVs in all CSDH patients changed significantly before and after surgery. Moreover, the drainage function of the mLVs ipsilateral to hematoma (mLVs-IH) in CSDH patients was significantly lower than that in the controls (p < 0.05). Last, a higher improvement rate of the drainage function of the mLVs-IH is correlated to a lower risk of recurrence (p < 0.05). This study revealed the mLVs' drainage dysfunction after CSDH through non-invasive MRI. Furthermore, the drainage function of mLVs is an independent predictive factor of CSDH recurrence.

Abstract
Objective The outcome of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is influenced not only by the choice of treatment but also by various baseline characteristics. The main objective of this study is to identify the risk factors that can affect the prognosis of CSDH and develop a regression equation based on these risk factors. Methods A total of 212 patients with CSDH were included in the study. We collected clinical data including age, gender, and so on, and radiological data including preoperative hematoma volume (V1), effusion volume 1 day after surgery (V2), gas volume 1 day after surgery (V3), and so on. These were considered independent variables, while residual volume 1 week after surgery (V4) was the dependent variable. Univariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify factors that were significantly related. Subsequently, multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between each independent variable and the dependent variable. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to obtain a regression equation predicting V4. Results We have found that age (t = 3.109, P = 0.002), aspirin (t = 2.762, P = 0.006), hemostatic agents (haemocoagulase, t = 3.731, P < 0.001; vitamin K, t = 2.824, P = 0.005 < 0.05), V2 (t = 8.73, P < 0.001), and V3 (t = 5.968, P < 0.001) are significantly associated with V4. Furthermore, we have developed a regression equation that can predict this volume with CSDH. The fit of the model is robust with an R-squared value of 65.2% > 50%. Conclusion Age, aspirin, hemostatic agent, V2, and V3 are significantly associated with V4. We developed a regression equation to predict this volume with CSDH.

Abstract
Cerebral oedema is associated with morbidity and mortality after traumatic brain injury (TBI)1. Noradrenaline levels are increased after TBI2-4, and the amplitude of the increase in noradrenaline predicts both the extent of injury5 and the likelihood of mortality6. Glymphatic impairment is both a feature of and a contributor to brain injury7,8, but its relationship with the injury-associated surge in noradrenaline is unclear. Here we report that acute post-traumatic oedema results from a suppression of glymphatic and lymphatic fluid flow that occurs in response to excessive systemic release of noradrenaline. This post-TBI adrenergic storm was associated with reduced contractility of cervical lymphatic vessels, consistent with diminished return of glymphatic and lymphatic fluid to the systemic circulation. Accordingly, pan-adrenergic receptor inhibition normalized central venous pressure and partly restored glymphatic and cervical lymphatic flow in a mouse model of TBI, and these actions led to substantially reduced brain oedema and improved functional outcomes. Furthermore, post-traumatic inhibition of adrenergic signalling boosted lymphatic export of cellular debris from the traumatic lesion, substantially reducing secondary inflammation and accumulation of phosphorylated tau. These observations suggest that targeting the noradrenergic control of central glymphatic flow may offer a therapeutic approach for treating acute TBI.

Craniocervical Manual Lymphatic Drainage Increases the Efficiency of Atorvastatin-Based Treatment of Chronic Subdural Hematoma. Transl Stroke Res 2023; 14:667-677. [PMID: 35907128 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-022-01062-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study is to explore whether craniocervical manual lymphatic drainage (cMLD) can promote hematoma absorption and increase the efficiency of atorvastatin-based conservative treatment in chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) patients. All CSDH patients treated with atorvastatin-based therapy between October 2020 and February 2022 in our department were retrospectively screened for enrollment. The patients were divided into the control and cMLD groups according to whether cMLD was performed. Head CT or MR images in both groups were obtained before the treatment and 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the treatment. MR images of the deep cervical lymphatic nodes (dCLNs) in 23 patients were obtained in the cMLD group before and approximately 2 weeks after treatment. The volumes of the dCLNs and hematoma were calculated. The primary outcomes are the differences in hematoma volume reduction after 4 weeks of treatment. The secondary outcomes were (1) the differences in hematoma volume reduction between the patients in these two groups in the 2nd week, (2) the dCLN volume change in the cMLD group before and after 2 weeks of treatment, and (3) the percentage of patients who transitioned to surgery because of failure to the conservative treatment. A total of 106 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study for analysis; 54 patients received atorvastatin-based treatment (control group), and 52 were treated with both atorvastatin-based treatment and cMLD (cMLD group). At baseline, the mean hematoma volume was 76.53 ± 42.97 ml in the control group and 88.57 ± 49.01 ml in the cMLD group (p = 0.181). In the 4th week, the absolute number of hematoma reductions (20.79 ± 34.73 ml vs. 37.28 ± 28.24 ml, p = 0.009) and percentage of hematoma reductions (22.58% ± 60.01% vs. 46.43% ± 30.12%, p = 0.012) in the cMLD group were greater than those in the control group. After 2 weeks of treatment, the absolute number of hematoma reductions showed no difference in the two groups, while the percentage of hematoma reduction was higher in the cMLD group (18.18% ± 24.61% vs. 2.08% ± 25.72%, p = 0.001). One patient in cMLD and 8 patients in the control group were transitioned to receive surgical treatment. The dCLN volumes in 23 experimental patients increased significantly after 2 weeks of treatment in the cMLD group (p = 0.032). There were no severe side effects that needed to be reported. Combined with atorvastatin-based therapy, cMLD can promote hematoma absorption and decrease the surgery rate, which provides a new therapeutic strategy for CSDH.

Abstract
Intraventricular hemorrhage is one of the most fatal forms of brain injury that is a common complication of premature infants. However, the therapy of this type of hemorrhage is limited, and new strategies are needed to reduce hematoma expansion. Here we show that the meningeal lymphatics is a pathway to remove red blood cells from the brain's ventricular system of male human, adult and newborn rodents and is a target for non-invasive transcranial near infrared photobiomodulation. Our results uncover the clinical significance of phototherapy of intraventricular hemorrhage in 4-day old male rat pups that have the brain similar to a preterm human brain. The course of phototherapy in newborn rats provides fast recovery after intraventricular hemorrhage due to photo-improvements of lymphatic drainage and clearing functions. These findings shed light on the mechanisms of phototherapy of intraventricular hemorrhage that can be a clinically relevant technology for treatment of neonatal intracerebral bleedings.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Previous experimental studies have shown that meningeal lymphatic vessels are located primarily along the walls of the dural sinus veins. Whether they are more widespread throughout human dura mater has presently not been characterized. The present study explored in humans whether meningeal lymphatic vessels may be identified remote from the sinus veins and whether they differ in the various location of dura mater. Methods: We included 15 patients who underwent neurosurgery, in whom dura mater was removed as part of the planned procedure. Tissue was prepared for immunohistochemistry using the lymphatic endothelial cell markers lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 protein (LYVE-1), podoplanin and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3). Results: Lymphatic endothelial cell positive cells were found in dura mater at the posterior fossa (n = 8), temporal skull base (n = 5), frontal convexity (n = 1), and cranio-cervical junction (n = 1). They were most commonly seen remote from blood vessels, but also occurred along blood vessels, and seemed to be most abundant at the skull base. Conclusion: The present observations show that human lymphatic vessels are widespread in dura mater, not solely lining the dural sinuses.

Abstract
With the increase in the aging population, the global number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) progressively increased worldwide. The situation is aggravated by the fact that there is no the effective pharmacological therapy of AD. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is non-pharmacological approach that has shown very promising results in the therapy of AD in pilot clinical and animal studies. However, the mechanisms of therapeutic effects of PBM for AD are poorly understood. In this study on mice, we demonstrate that photodynamic effects of 5-aminolevulenic acid and laser 635 nm cause reduction of network of the meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) leading to suppression of lymphatic removal of beta-amyloid (Aβ) from the right lateral ventricle and the hippocampus. Using the original protocol of PBM under electroencephalographic monitoring of wakefulness and sleep stages in non-anesthetized mice, we discover that the 7-day course of PBM during deep sleep vs. wakefulness provides better restoration of clearance of Aβ from the ventricular system of the brain and the hippocampus. Our results shed light on the mechanism of PBM and show the stimulating effects of PBM on the brain lymphatic drainage that promotes transport of Aβ via the lymphatic pathway. The effects of PBM on the brain lymphatics in sleeping brain open a new niche in the study of restorative functions of sleep as well as it is an important informative platform for the development of innovative smart sleep technologies for the therapy of AD.

Abstract
Age-related cognitive decline is associated with dysfunctional lymphatic drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through meningeal lymphatic vessels. In this study, intrathecal [64Cu]Cu-albumin positron emission tomography (PET) was applied in mice to evaluate lymphatic drainage of CSF and its variation with age. [64Cu]Cu-albumin PET was performed at multiple time points after intrathecal injection of [64Cu]Cu-albumin at an infusion rate of 700 nl/min in adult and aged mice (15-25 months old). CSF clearance and paravertebral lymph nodes were quantified after injection and during the stationary phase. Stationary phase of the next day followed the initial perturbed state by injection of 6 ul (1/7 of total CSF volume) and CSF clearance half-time from the subarachnoid space was 93.4 ± 19.7 and 123.3 ± 15.6 min in adult and aged mice (p = 0.01), respectively. While the % injected dose of CSF space were higher, the activity of the paravertebral lymph nodes were lower in the aged mice on the next day. [64Cu]Cu-albumin PET enabled us to quantify CSF-lymphatic drainage across all levels of brain spinal cords and to visualize and quantify lymph node activity due to CSF drainage. [64Cu]Cu-albumin PET revealed the age-related decrease of the lymphatic drainage of CSF due to this decreased drainage from the subarachnoid space, especially during the stationary phase, in aged mice.

Abstract
The global number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) doubles every 5 years. It has been established that unless an effective treatment for AD is found, the incidence of AD will triple by 2060. However, pharmacological therapies for AD have failed to show effectiveness and safety. Therefore, the search for alternative methods for treating AD is an urgent problem in medicine. The lymphatic drainage and removal system of the brain (LDRSB) plays an important role in resistance to the progression of AD. The development of methods for augmentation of the LDRSB functions may contribute to progress in AD therapy. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is considered to be a non-pharmacological and safe approach for AD therapy. Here, we highlight the most recent and relevant studies of PBM for AD. We focus on emerging evidence that indicates the potential benefits of PBM during sleep for modulation of natural activation of the LDRSB at nighttime, providing effective removal of metabolites, including amyloid-β, from the brain, leading to reduced progression of AD. Our review creates a new niche in the therapy of brain diseases during sleep and sheds light on the development of smart sleep technologies for neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are widely used as drug carriers for improving drug delivery and retention. The lungs are highly sensitive to the toxicity of SiNPs entering the respiratory tract. Furthermore, pulmonary lymphangiogenesis, which is the growth of lymphatic vessels observed during multiple pulmonary diseases, plays a vital role in promoting the lymphatic transport of silica in the lungs. However, more research is required on the effects of SiNPs on pulmonary lymphangiogenesis. We investigated the effect of SiNP-induced pulmonary toxicity on lymphatic vessel formation in rats and evaluated the toxicity and possible molecular mechanisms of 20-nm SiNPs. Saline containing 3.0, 6.0, and 12.0mg/kg of SiNPs was instilled intrathecally into female Wistar rats once a day for five days, then sacrificed on day seven. Lung histopathology, pulmonary permeability, pulmonary lymphatic vessel density changes, and the ultrastructure of the lymph trunk were investigated using light microscopy, spectrophotometry, immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy. CD45 expression in lung tissues was determined using immunohistochemical staining, and protein expression in the lung and lymph trunk was quantified using western blotting. We observed increased pulmonary inflammation and permeability, lymphatic endothelial cell damage, pulmonary lymphangiogenesis, and remodeling with increasing SiNP concentration. Moreover, SiNPs activated the VEGFC/D-VEGFR3 signaling pathway in the lung and lymphatic vessel tissues. SiNPs caused pulmonary damage, increased permeability and resulted in inflammation-associated lymphangiogenesis and remodeling by activating VEGFC/D-VEGFR3 signaling. Our findings provide evidence for SiNP-induced pulmonary damage and a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of occupational exposure to SiNPs.

Exogenous interleukin 33 enhances the brain's lymphatic drainage and toxic protein clearance in acute traumatic brain injury mice. Acta Neuropathol Commun 2023; 11:61.

Abstract
The persistent dysregulation and accumulation of poisonous proteins from destructive neural tissues and cells activate pathological mechanisms after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The lymphatic drainage system of the brain, composed of the glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs), plays an essential role in the clearance of toxic waste after brain injury. The neuroprotective effect of interleukin 33 (IL-33) in TBI mice has been demonstrated; however, its impact on brain lymphatic drainage is unclear. Here, we established a fluid percussion injury model to examine the IL-33 administration effects on neurological function and lymphatic drainage in the acute brain of TBI mice. We verified that exogenous IL-33 could improve the motor and memory skills of TBI mice and demonstrated that in the acute phase, it increased the exchange of cerebrospinal and interstitial fluid, reversed the dysregulation and depolarization of aquaporin-4 in the cortex and hippocampus, improved the drainage of MLVs to deep cervical lymph nodes, and reduced tau accumulation and glial activation. We speculate that the protective effect of exogenous IL-33 on TBI mice's motor and cognitive functions is related to the enhancement of brain lymphatic drainage and toxic metabolite clearance from the cortex and hippocampus in the acute stage. These data further support the notion that IL-33 therapy may be an effective treatment strategy for alleviating acute brain injury after TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some peripheral blood markers have been demonstrated to be correlated with the re-formation of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). The aim of this study was to identify the correlation between nutritional/inflammatory peripheral blood markers and CSDH. METHODS 188 CSDH patients and 188 age-matched healthy controls were included in this research. The clinical characteristics and peripheral blood markers associated with nutritional or inflammatory status were obtained and analyzed. Conditional logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the potential CSDH risk factors. All the participants were divided into 3 groups based on the tertiles of change in risk factors. The Cochran-Armitage test and one way ANOVA were applied to identify the association between baseline characteristics and independent risk factors. Moreover, the net reclassification index (NRI) and integrated discrimination index (IDI) were calculated to evaluate the improvement in model performance after adding the independent risk factors in the conventional model. RESULTS The logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the increased albumin (OR, 0.615; 95 %CI,0.489-0.773; P < 0.001) and lymphocyte count (OR, 0.141; 95 %CI,0.025-0.796; P = 0.027) were associated with lower risk of CSDH. Moreover, addition of albumin and lymphocyte to conventional risk factors significantly improved the risk prediction of CSDH(NRI: 46.47 %, P < 0.001; IDI: 30.92 %, P < 0.001; NRI: 22.45 %, P = 0.027; IDI: 1.23 %, P = 0.037, respectively) CONCLUSION: The decreased albumin and lymphocyte levels were correlated with a high risk of chronic subdural hematoma. The nutritional and inflammatory serum markers should be put great attention because these markers may play roles in finding the cause of CSDH and predicting its risk.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that an important function of the sleeping brain is the removal of wastes and toxins from the central nervous system (CNS) due to the activation of the brain waste removal system (BWRS). The meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) are an important part of the BWRS. A decrease in MLV function is associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, intracranial hemorrhages, brain tumors and trauma. Since the BWRS is activated during sleep, a new idea is now being actively discussed in the scientific community: night stimulation of the BWRS might be an innovative and promising strategy for neurorehabilitation medicine. This review highlights new trends in photobiomodulation of the BWRS/MLVs during deep sleep as a breakthrough technology for the effective removal of wastes and unnecessary compounds from the brain in order to increase the neuroprotection of the CNS as well as to prevent or delay various brain diseases.

Abstract
How cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drains from the human brain is of paramount importance to cerebral health and physiology. Obstructed CSF drainage results in increased intra-cranial pressure and a predictable cascade of events including dilated cerebral ventricles and ultimately cell death. The current and accepted model of CSF drainage in humans suggests CSF drains from the subarachnoid space into the sagittal sinus vein. Here we identify a new structure in the sagittal sinus of the human brain by anatomic cadaver dissection. The CSF canalicular system is a series of channels on either side of the sagittal sinus vein that communicate with subarachnoid cerebrospinal fluid via Virchow-Robin spaces. Fluorescent injection confirms that these channels are patent and that flow occurs independent of the venous system. Fluoroscopy identified flow from the sagittal sinus to the cranial base. We verify our previous identification of CSF channels in the neck that travel from the cranial base to the subclavian vein. Together, this information suggests a novel path for CSF drainage of the human brain that may represent the primary route for CSF recirculation. These findings have implications for basic anatomy, surgery, and neuroscience, and highlight the continued importance of gross anatomy to medical research and discovery.

Theranostics 2023; 13:106-124. [PMID: 36593948 PMCID: PMC9800736 DOI: 10.7150/thno.76133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: The accumulation and clearance of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The (re)discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels in recent years has focused attention on the lymphatic clearance of Aβ and has become a promising therapeutic target for such diseases. However, there is a lack of small molecular compounds that could clearly regulate meningeal lymphatic drainage to remove Aβ from the brain. Methods: We investigated the effect of borneol on meningeal lymphatic clearance of macromolecules with different molecular weights (including Aβ) in the brain. To further investigate the mechanism of borneol regulating meningeal lymphatic drainage, immunofluorescence staining, western blotting, ELISA, RT-qPCR, and Nitric Oxide assay kits were used. The cognitive function of AD mice after borneol treatment was evaluated using two behavioral tests: open field (OF) and Morris water maze (MWM). Results: This study discovered that borneol could accelerate the lymphatic clearance of Aβ from the brain by enhancing meningeal lymphatic drainage. Preliminary mechanism analysis revealed that borneol could improve the permeability and inner diameter of lymphatic vessels, allowing macromolecules to drain into the cervical lymph nodes (CLNS) and then be transported to the lymphatic circulation. To speed up the clearance of macromolecules, borneol also stimulated lymphatic constriction by lowering the level of nitric oxide in the meninges. In addition, borneol stimulated lymphangiogenesis by increasing the levels of FOXC2, VEGFC, and LYVE-1 in the meninges, which promoted the clearance rates of macromolecules. Borneol improved meningeal lymphatic clearance not only for Aβ but also for other macromolecular polymers (molecular weight in the range of 2 KD - 45 KD. Borneol ameliorated cognitive deficits and alleviated brain Aβ burden in Aβ-injected mice. Conclusions: Our findings not only provide a strategy to regulate lymphatic clearance pathways of macromolecules in the brain, but also new targets and ideas for treating neurodegenerative diseases like AD. Furthermore, our findings indicate that borneol is a promising therapeutic drug for AD.

Abstract
In the aging process and central nervous system (CNS) diseases, the functions of the meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) are impaired. Alterations in MLVs have been observed in aging-related neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, and even cerebrovascular disease. These findings reveal a new perspective on aging and CNS disorders and provide a promising therapeutic target. Additionally, recent neuropathological studies have shown that MLVs exchange soluble components between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF) and drain metabolites, cellular debris, misfolded proteins, and immune cells from the CSF into the deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLNs), directly connecting the brain with the peripheral circulation. Impairment and dysfunction of meningeal lymphatics can lead to the accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain, exacerbating the progression of neurological disorders. However, for many CNS diseases, the causal relationship between MLVs and neuropathological changes is not fully clear. Here, after a brief historical retrospection, we review recent discoveries about the hallmarks of MLVs and their roles in the aging and CNS diseases, as well as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of neurologic diseases.

Abstract
The lymphatic drainage system of the brain (LDSB) is the removal of metabolites and wastes from its tissues. A dysfunction of LDSB is an important sign of aging, brain oncology, the Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The development of new strategies for diagnosis of LDSB injuries can improve prevention of age-related cerebral amyloid angiopathy, neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases. There are two conditions, such as deep sleep and opening of the blood-brain-barrier (OBBB) associated with the LDSB activation. A promising candidate for measurement of LDSB could be electroencephalography (EEG). In this pilot study on rats, we tested the hypothesis, whether deep sleep and OBBB can be an informative platform for an effective extracting of information about the LDSB functions. Using the nonlinear analysis of EEG dynamics and machine learning technology, we discovered that the LDSB activation during OBBB and sleep is associated with similar changes in the EEG θ-activity. The OBBB causes the higher LDSB activation vs. sleep that is accompanied by specific changes in the low frequency EEG activity extracted by the power spectra analysis of the EEG dynamics combined with the coherence function. Thus, our findings demonstrate a link between neural activity associated with the LDSB activation during sleep and OBBB that is an important informative platform for extraction of the EEG-biomarkers of the LDSB activity. These results open new perspectives for the development of technology for the LDSB diagnostics that would open a novel era in the prognosis of brain diseases caused by the LDSB disorders, including OBBB.

Abstract
The glymphatic-lymphatic fluid transport system (GLFTS) consists of glymphatic pathway and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphatic outflow routes, allowing biological liquids from the brain parenchyma to access the CSF along with perivascular space and to be cleaned out of the skull through lymphatic vessels. It is known that increased local pressure due to physical compression of tissue improves lymphatic transport in peripheral organs, but little is known about the exact relationship between increased intracranial pressure (IICP) and GLFTS. In this study, we verify our hypothesis that IICP significantly impacts GLFTS, and this effect depends on severity of the IICP. Using a previously developed inflating balloon model to induce IICP and inject fluorescent tracers into the cisterna magna, we found significant impairment of the glymphatic circulation after IICP. We further found that cerebrovascular occlusion occurred, and cerebrovascular pulsation decreased after IICP. IICP also interrupted the drainage of deep cervical lymph nodes and dorsal meningeal lymphatic function, enhancing spinal lymphatic outflow to the sacral lymph nodes. Notably, these effects were associated with the severity of IICP. Thus, our findings proved that the intensity of IICP significantly impacts GLFTS. This may have translational applications for preventing and treating related neurological disorders.

Abstract
The lymphatic vasculature forms an organized network that covers the whole body and is involved in fluid homeostasis, metabolite clearance, and immune surveillance. The recent identification of functional lymphatic vessels in the meninges of the brain and the spinal cord has provided novel insights into neurophysiology. They emerge as major pathways for fluid exchange. The abundance of immune cells in lymphatic vessels and meninges also suggests that lymphatic vessels are actively involved in neuroimmunity. The lymphatic system, through its role in the clearance of neurotoxic proteins, autoimmune cell infiltration, and the transmission of pro-inflammatory signals, participates in the pathogenesis of a variety of neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases and traumatic injury. Vascular endothelial growth factor C is the master regulator of lymphangiogenesis, a process that is critical for the maintenance of central nervous system homeostasis. In this review, we summarize current knowledge and recent advances relating to the anatomical features and immunological functions of the lymphatic system of the central nervous system and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for neurological disorders and central nervous system repair.

Abstract
Background Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common neurosurgical disease with an increasing incidence. The absorption route of CSDH is not clear. Whether inflammatory factors enter the peripheral blood and cause systemic reactions is unknown. Methods We screened 105 CSDH patients and 105 control individuals. Their clinical characteristics and blood routine results were collected and compared. The blood routine changes of CSDH patients before and after treatment were compared. Age‐stratified analysis was performed due to age may affect the inflammatory markers. Results The white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, neutrophil‐lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), and platelet to lymphocyte count ratio (PLR) of CSDH patients before treatment were within the normal range, while were significantly higher than the control individuals (p < 0.001). The absolute lymphocyte count and lymphocyte percentage of control individuals were higher than those of patients (p < 0.001). The inflammatory cells in patients of different age groups were similar. After the patient was cured, the white blood cell count, the absolute value and percentage of neutrophils decreased (p < 0.05), while the number of monocytes increased. Conclusions CSDH caused slight systemic inflammatory responses in the peripheral blood, implying that there is a non‐hematologic route for the absorption of hematoma.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a fatal disease with high mortality and poor prognosis that triggers multiple severe brain injuries associated with an inflammatory cascade response that cannot be treated with any effective medication. Atorvastatin (ATO) suppresses inflammation, alleviates brain trauma, and eliminates subdural hematoma. Dexamethasone (DXM) also has the capacity to inhibit inflammation. Thus, we combined ATO with low-dose DXM to treat ICH mice in vivo to examine whether the combined treatment can inhibit secondary inflammation around the cerebral hemorrhage and decrease overall mortality. Compared to the monotherapy by either ATO or DXM, the combined treatment significantly improves the survivorship of the ICH mice, accelerates their recovery of impaired neurological function, and modulates the circulating cytokines, oxidative products, and apoptosis. Moreover, the benefit of ATO-DXM combination therapy was most pronounced on day 3 after dosing compared to ATO or DXM alone. Thus, early administration of ATO combined with low-dose-DXM promotes better survival of ICH and improves neurological function by reducing neuroinflammation and brain edema in their early phase.

Abstract
The recent discovery of the meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) and glymphatic pathways has challenged the long-lasting dogma that the central nervous system (CNS) lacks a lymphatic system and therefore does not interact with peripheral immunity. This discovery has reshaped our understanding of mechanisms underlying CNS drainage. Under normal conditions, a close connection between mLVs and the glymphatic system enables metabolic waste removal, immune cell trafficking, and CNS immune surveillance. Dysfunction of the glymphatic-mLV system can lead to toxic protein accumulation in the brain, and it contributes to the development of a series of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The identification of precise cerebral transport routes is based mainly on indirect, invasive imaging of animals, and the results cannot always be applied to humans. Here we review the functions of the glymphatic-mLV system and evidence for its involvement in some CNS diseases. We focus on emerging noninvasive imaging techniques to evaluate the human glymphatic-mLV system and their potential for preclinical diagnosis and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Potential strategies that target the glymphatic-mLV system in order to treat and prevent neurological disorders are also discussed.

Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma, a common neurosurgical disease, is mostly caused by craniocerebral trauma. Chronic subdural hematoma caused by acute myeloblastic leukemia is rarely reported, and its pathogenesis and strategies for clinical treatment remain controversial. Here, we report a rare case of chronic subdural hematoma caused by acute myeloblastic leukemia. The patient's condition deteriorated quickly after admission, and emergency trepanation and drainage of the chronic subdural hematoma was performed, followed by oral administration of atorvastatin. The platelet levels continued to decrease during neurosurgical treatment. Bone marrow cytology, flow cytology, and karyotype analysis suggested acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). Then, the patient was transferred to the hematology department for chemotherapy treatment, during which there was no recurrence of hematoma. Chronic subdural hematoma caused by acute myeloblastic leukemia is a very rare disease. Surgery should be performed when the intracranial hematoma is more than 10 mm thick and the midline structures are displaced by more than 5 mm, and postoperative treatment should be supplemented with atorvastatin to prevent recurrence. Chemotherapy should be given promptly to treat leukemia after stabilization of neurological conditions.

Abstract
Congenital hydrocephalus occurs in one in 500-1000 babies born in the United States and acquired hydrocephalus may occur as the consequence of stroke, intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, craniectomy or may be idiopathic, as in the case of normal pressure hydrocephalus. Irrespective of its prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, neurosurgeons still rely on invasive cerebrospinal fluid shunt systems for the treatment of hydrocephalus that are exceptionally prone to failure and/or infection. Further understanding of this process at a molecular level, therefore, may have profound implications for improving treatment and quality of life for millions of individuals worldwide. The purpose of this article is to review the current research landscape on hydrocephalus with a focus on recent advances in our understanding of cerebrospinal fluid pathways from an evolutionary, genetics and molecular perspective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of the study was to analyze the risk factors for worsening of the disease progression in patients with chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH) during wait-and-observation treatment regimen and conservative treatment with atorvastatin. METHODS A total of 196 patients with CSDH were recruited (98 in the atorvastatin group and 98 in the blank placebo group). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to identify the optimal cutoff for the hematoma volume by testing surgical and nonsurgical outcomes. Other measures, including univariate and multivariate analyses, were performed to identify the potential significant factors indicative of the outcome of therapeutic efficacy of conservative treatment through the characteristics of the baseline indicators at enrollment. RESULTS Over a median treatment duration of 2 months, lower total cholesterol, higher hematoma volume, and more midline shift were independent risk factors for worse outcomes of atorvastatin treatment for CSDH, and only a higher hematoma volume was an independent risk factor for spontaneous absorption in the placebo group. ROC analysis of all of the data showed that the optimal threshold of hematoma volume was 68.5 ml (sensitivity 73.5%, specificity 74%) in response to the greatest chance of switching to surgery. CONCLUSIONS Critical independent predictors of atorvastatin monotherapy treatment success included higher total cholesterol, lower hematoma volume, and less midline shift in atorvastatin monotherapy, and higher hematoma volume was the only independent risk factor in close follow-up observation patients without any pharmacotherapy. Initial hematoma volume more than 68.5 ml may help clinicians to determine individual risk assessments and to make optimal treatment decisions. TRIAL REGISTRATION http://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov .

Abstract
The lymphatic vasculature is a unidirectional network of lymphatic endothelial cells, whose main role is to maintain fluid homeostasis along with the absorption of dietary fat in the gastrointestinal organs and management and coordination of immune cell trafficking into lymph nodes during homeostasis and under inflammatory conditions. In homeostatic conditions, immune cells, such as dendritic cells, macrophages, or T cells can enter into the lymphatic vasculature and move easily through the lymph reaching secondary lymph nodes where immune cell activation or peripheral tolerance can be modulated. However, under inflammatory conditions such as pathogen infection, increased permeabilization of lymphatic vessels allows faster immune cell migration into inflamed tissues following a chemokine gradient, facilitating pathogen clearance and the resolution of inflammation. Interestingly, since the re-discovery of lymphatic vasculature in the central nervous system, known as the meningeal lymphatic vasculature, the role of these lymphatics as a key player in several neurological disorders has been described, with emphasis on the neurodegenerative process. Alternatively, less has been discussed about meningeal lymphatics and its role in neuroinflammation. In this review, we discuss current knowledge about the anatomy and function of the meningeal lymphatic vasculature and specifically analyze its contribution to different neuroinflammatory processes, highlighting the potential therapeutic target of meningeal lymphatic vasculature in these pathological conditions.

Abstract
Background:
Promotion of hematoma resolution in a timely manner reduces intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) brain injury induced by toxic blood components and subsequent neuroinflammation. The meningeal lymphatic system is responsible for clearance of macromolecules and pathogenic substances from the central nervous system; however, its role in intraparenchymal hematoma clearance and ICH outcomes is unknown. In the present study, we aimed to understand the contribution of the meningeal lymphatic system to ICH pathologies and to test whether pharmacological enhancement of meningeal lymphatic function promotes hematoma resolution and brain recovery after ICH.
Methods:
Immunofluorescence of whole-mount meninges was used to measure complexity and coverage level of meningeal lymphatic vasculature following ICH induction. Fluorescent microbeads and PKH-26-labeled erythrocytes were used to evaluate drainage function of the meningeal lymphatic system. Visudyne treatment, deep cervical lymph node ligation, and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)-C injection were performed to manipulate meningeal lymphatic function. Neurobehavioral performance and hematoma volume were assayed by the cylinder test and histological measurements. Iron deposition, residual erythrocytes, neuronal loss, and astrogliosis were assessed by immunohistochemistry and antibody-based fluorescence staining.
Results:
Meningeal lymphangiogenesis and enhanced lymphatic drainage occurred during the late phase of ICH. Ablation and blockage of meningeal lymphatic vessels impeded hematoma clearance, whereas pharmacological enhancement of their function reduced hematoma volume, improved behavioral performance, and reduced brain residual erythrocytes, iron deposition, neuronal loss, and astroglial activation.
Conclusions:
Early enhancement of meningeal lymphatic function is beneficial for ICH recovery. Targeting the meningeal lymphatic system is therefore a potential therapeutic approach for treating ICH.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that the glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatic vessels are instrumental for clearance of toxic metabolites from the brain. Animal and human studies suggest that glymphatic circulation is up-regulated during sleep. Meningeal lymphatic clearance may be more efficient in the wake state, as shown in rodents. We have previously shown clearance of cerebrospinal fluid directly from the subarachnoid space to the parasagittal dura, which harbors meningeal lymphatic vessels. Hence, assessing molecular clearance from parasagittal dura provides an opportunity to decipher the role of sleep/sleep deprivation in human lymphatic clearance function. In this study, we applied magnetic resonance imaging to explore whether sleep deprivation modifies molecular clearance from human parasagittal dura, utilizing an intrathecal magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent as tracer. We hypothesized that tracer enhancement in parasagittal dura would differ after sleep deprivation. One group of individuals (n = 7) underwent one night's total sleep deprivation while a control group (n = 9) was allowed unrestricted sleep. There were no sleep restrictions after the 24-hour time point. After one night of sleep deprivation (at 24 h), we found neither evidence for altered tracer enrichment in the parasagittal dura, nor after a day of unrestricted sleep (at 48 h). The hypothesis of altered molecular egress to parasagittal dura after sleep deprivation was not supported by our data. Further studies are required to determine the role of sleep for molecular clearance from cerebrospinal fluid to meningeal lymphatic vessels in humans.

Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a chronic space-occupying lesion formed by blood accumulation between arachnoid and dura mater, which is usually formed in the third week after traumatic brain injury. Surgical treatment is usually the first choice for patients with CSDH having a significant space-occupying effect. Most of the patients showed good results of surgical treatment, but still some patients had a postoperative recurrence (the recurrence rate was up to 33%). Because CSDH is often seen in the elderly, patients are weak and have many basic diseases. The risk of surgical treatment is high; serious complications and even death (the death rate is up to 32%) can often occur. The overall good prognosis rate of patients aged more than 90 years is 24%. The drug treatment can provide a safe and effective treatment for elderly patients who are weak, intolerable to surgery, or failed in surgery. Low-dose and long-term use of atorvastatin (20mg/d) is suggested for continuous treatment for at least 8 weeks, while low-dose and short-term use of dexamethasone can improve the therapeutic effect of atorvastatin on CSDH. Patients should undergo CT or MRI scanning at least one time within 2 weeks after the start of drug treatment.

Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is characterized by an encapsulated collection of old blood. Although CSDH has become the most frequent pathologic entity in daily neurosurgical practice, there are some unresolved research questions. In particular, the causes and recurrent risk factors of CSDH remain as an object of debate. The split of the dural border layer forms a few tiers of dural border cells over the arachnoid layer. Tissue plasminogen activator plays an important role as a key factor of defective coagulation. Historically, CSDH has often been treated via burr hole craniostomy using a closed drainage system. Several different operative strategies and peri-operative strategies such as the addition of burr holes, addition of cavity irrigation, position of drain, or postural position, have been described previously. Although the direction of the drainage tube, residual air, low intensity of T1-weighted images on MRI, and niveau formation have been reported as risk factors for recurrence, antiplatelet or anticoagulant drug use has not yet been verified as a risk factor. Recently, pharmaceutical strategies, including atorvastatin, significantly improved the neurological function in CSDH patients. Many case series, without randomization, have been reported; and given its promising result, several randomized clinical trials using pharmaceutical as well as operative and perioperative strategies were initiated to obtain sufficient data. In contrast, relatively fewer basic studies have achieved clinical applications in CSDH, although it is one of the most common clinical entities. Further scientific basic research may be essential for achieving a novel treatment strategy for CSDH.

Risk Factors for Atorvastatin as a Monotherapy for Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Retrospective Multifactor Analysis. Front Aging Neurosci 2021; 13:726592. [PMID: 34539386 PMCID: PMC8440973 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2021.726592] [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: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common form of intracranial hemorrhage in the aging population. We aimed to investigate the predictive factors for atorvastatin efficacy as a monotherapy for moderate CSDH. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who were diagnosed with moderate CSDH and received atorvastatin monotherapy between February 5, 2014, and November 7, 2015, in multiple neurosurgical departments. Univariate, multivariate and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to identify the potential significant factors indicative of the good therapeutic efficacy or poor therapeutic efficacy of atorvastatin for mild CSDH, such as age, sex, history of injury, Markwalder grading scale–Glasgow Coma Scale (MGS-GCS), Activities of Daily Life-the Barthel Index scale (ADL-BI), American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification system (ASA-PS), blood cell counts, serum levels and computed tomography findings. A total of 89 patients (75 men and 14 women) aged 24–88 years (mean age 61.95 ± 15.30 years) were followed-up for 24 weeks. Computed tomography findings at admission showed mixed-density hematoma in 22 patients, isodense hematoma in 13 patients, high-density hematoma in 26 patients, and low-density hematoma in 28 patients. In total, 3, 80, and 6 patients had MGS-GCS grades of 0, 1, and 2, respectively. The efficacy rate at 6 months was 87.6% (78/89). Eleven patients were switched to surgery due to a worsened neurological condition, of whom 8, 1, 1, and 1 had high-density, low-density, isodense and mixed-density hematomas, respectively. These patients were switched to surgery over a range of 2–27 days, with a median interval of 12 days after the medication treatment. Univariate and multivariate analyses, confirmed by ROC curves, revealed that high-density hematoma, basal cistern compression, and hematoma volume to be independent risk factors for the efficacy of atorvastatin monotherapy in patients with moderate CSDH. Atorvastatin is an effective monotherapy for the treatment of mild CSDH. High-density hematoma, basal cistern compression, and hematoma volume are independent predictors of the efficacy of atorvastatin as a non-surgical treatment. The results suggested that ADL-BI was more sensitive than the MGS-GCS and ASA-PS for determining patient outcomes in our moderate CSDH cohort.

Abstract
We are not aware of any reports regarding conservative treatment for leukemia-related chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). We report our experience with 3 men who were admitted with subdural masses and abnormal leukocyte counts. In two patients, leukemia and CSDH were confirmed on the basis of medical records, mild head trauma, and neuroimaging features. Both patients experienced reduced CSDH and neurological symptoms after receiving atorvastatin (20 mg/day) plus low-dose dexamethasone. However, this combined conservative treatment was ineffective in the third patient, who was diagnosed as having leukemia and showed an increased hematoma volume after two weeks of therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging findings suggested dural metastasis, which prompted a switch from statin-based conservative treatment to chemotherapy. Complete remission of the leukemia and resolution of the subdural mass were observed after chemotherapy, which supported a diagnosis of leukemia encephalopathy. The 5-month follow-ups did not reveal CSDH relapse in all 3 cases. Thus, atorvastatin-based conservative treatment may be effective for leukemia-related CSDH but not for leukemia encephalopathy.

Abstract
A genuine and functional lymphatic vascular system is found in the meninges that sheath the central nervous system (CNS). This unexpected (re)discovery led to a reevaluation of CNS fluid and solute drainage mechanisms, neuroimmune interactions and the involvement of meningeal lymphatics in the initiation and progression of neurological disorders. In this manuscript, we provide an overview of the development, morphology and unique functional features of meningeal lymphatics. An outline of the different factors that affect meningeal lymphatic function, such as growth factor signaling and aging, and their impact on the continuous drainage of brain-derived molecules and meningeal immune cells into the cervical lymph nodes is also provided. We also highlight the most recent discoveries about the roles of the CNS-draining lymphatic vasculature in different pathologies that have a strong neuroinflammatory component, including brain trauma, tumors, and aging-associated neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Lastly, we provide a critical appraisal of the conundrums, challenges and exciting questions involving the meningeal lymphatic system that ought to be investigated in years to come.

Abstract
An elevated concentration of fibrinogen in blood is a significant risk factor during many pathological diseases, as it leads to an increase in red blood cells (RBC) aggregation, resulting in hemorheological disorders. Despite the biomedical importance, the mechanisms of fibrinogen-induced RBC aggregation are still debatable. One of the discussed models is the non-specific adsorption of fibrinogen macromolecules onto the RBC membrane, leading to the cells bridging in aggregates. However, recent works point to the specific character of the interaction between fibrinogen and the RBC membrane. Fibrinogen is the major physiological ligand of glycoproteins receptors IIbIIIa (GPIIbIIIa or αIIββ3 or CD41/CD61). Inhibitors of GPIIbIIIa are widely used in clinics for the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases as antiplatelets agents preventing the platelets’ aggregation. However, the effects of GPIIbIIIa inhibition on RBC aggregation are not sufficiently well studied. The objective of the present work was the complex multimodal in vitro study of the interaction between fibrinogen and the RBC membrane, revealing the role of GPIIbIIIa in the specificity of binding of fibrinogen by the RBC membrane and its involvement in the cells’ aggregation process. We demonstrate that GPIIbIIIa inhibition leads to a significant decrease in the adsorption of fibrinogen macromolecules onto the membrane, resulting in the reduction of RBC aggregation. We show that the mechanisms underlying these effects are governed by a decrease in the bridging components of RBC aggregation forces.

Continuous theta burst stimulation dilates meningeal lymphatic vessels by up-regulating VEGF-C in meninges. Neurosci Lett 2020; 735:135197. [PMID: 32590044 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2020.135197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2020] [Revised: 06/18/2020] [Accepted: 06/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphatic vessels (LVs) of meninges and lymphatic drainage in the brain have been investigated previously. Here, we examined the role of continuous theta burst stimulation (CTBS) in the modulation of meningeal LVs. METHODS To explore the effects of CTBS on meningeal LVs, the diameters of LVs were measured between a real CTBS group and sham CTBS group of wild-type male mice. Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) expression was subsequently calculated in both groups to account for lymphatic changes after CTBS. Sunitinib was administered by 3-day oral gavage to inhibit the VEGF receptor (VEGFR), and the effects of CTBS were further examined in the following groups: vehicle with real CTBS, vehicle with sham CTBS, sunitinib treatment with real CTBS, and sunitinib treatment with sham CTBS. RESULTS The lymphatic vessels were augmented, and the level of VEGF-C in meninges increased after CTBS. CTBS dilated meningeal lymphatic vessels were impaired after the VEGF-C/VEGFR3 pathway was blocked. CONCLUSIONS CTBS can dilate meningeal lymphatic vessels by up-regulating VEGF-C in meninges.

Abstract
The central nervous system (CNS) was previously thought to be the only organ system lacking lymphatic vessels to remove waste products from the interstitial space. Recently, based on the results from animal experiments, the glymphatic system was hypothesized. In this hypothesis, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) enters the periarterial spaces, enters the interstitial space of the brain parenchyma via aquaporin-4 (AQP4) channels in the astrocyte end feet, and then exits through the perivenous space, thereby clearing waste products. From the perivenous space, the interstitial fluid drains into the subarachnoid space and meningeal lymphatics of the parasagittal dura. It has been reported that the glymphatic system is particularly active during sleep. Impairment of glymphatic system function might be a cause of various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, normal pressure hydrocephalus, glaucoma, and others. Meningeal lymphatics regulate immunity in the CNS. Many researchers have attempted to visualize the function and structure of the glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatics in vivo using MR imaging. In this review, we aim to summarize these in vivo MR imaging studies and discuss the significance, current limitations, and future directions. We also discuss the significance of the perivenous cyst formation along the superior sagittal sinus, which is recently discovered in the downstream of the glymphatic system.
