Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is one of the main prognosis factors for disability after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The lack of a consensual definition for DCI had limited investigation and care in human until 2010, when a multidisciplinary research expert group proposed to define DCI as the occurrence of cerebral infarction (identified on imaging or histology) associated with clinical deterioration. We performed a systematic review to assess whether preclinical models of SAH meet this definition, focusing on the combination of noninvasive imaging and neurological deficits. To this aim, we searched in PUBMED database and included all rodent SAH models that considered cerebral ischemia and/or neurological outcome and/or vasospasm. Seventy-eight publications were included. Eight different methods were performed to induce SAH, with blood injection in the cisterna magna being the most widely used (n = 39, 50%). Vasospasm was the most investigated SAH-related complication (n = 52, 67%) compared to cerebral ischemia (n = 30, 38%), which was never investigated with imaging. Neurological deficits were also explored (n = 19, 24%). This systematic review shows that no preclinical SAH model meets the 2010 clinical definition of DCI, highlighting the inconsistencies between preclinical and clinical standards. In order to enhance research and favor translation to humans, pertinent SAH animal models reproducing DCI are urgently needed.

Cerebral Blood Flow in Polytrauma: Transcranial Doppler Analysis in a Nonhuman Primate Shock Model. J Surg Res 2018; 232:146-153. [PMID: 30463710 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2018.05.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2018] [Revised: 04/05/2018] [Accepted: 05/24/2018] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In combat-related trauma, resuscitation goals are to attenuate tissue hypoxia and maintain circulation. During hemorrhagic shock, compensatory and autoregulatory mechanisms are activated to preserve cerebral blood flow. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography may be an ideal noninvasive modality to monitor cerebral hemodynamics. Using a nonhuman primate (NHP) model, we attempted to characterize cerebral hemodynamics during polytraumatic hemorrhagic shock using TCD ultrasonography. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ophthalmic artery was insonated at multiple time points during varying stages of shock. Hemorrhage was controlled and pressure targeted to 20 mmHg to initiate and maintain the shock period. Mean flow velocity (MFV), peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), pulsatility index (PI), and resistance index (RI) were recorded. Results represent mean ± standard deviation; statistical significance is P < 0.05; n = 12. RESULTS Compared to baseline, MFV, PSV, EDV, and RI show significant changes after 60 min of hemorrhagic shock, (9.81 ± 3.60 cm/s; P < 0.01), (21.15 ± 8.59 cm/s; P < 0.01), (5.15 ± 0.21 cm/s; P < 0.01), (0.70 ± 0.11; P < 0.05), respectively. PI did not change during hemorrhagic shock. At end of prehospital care (T30), cerebral flow recovers for MFV, PSV, and RI while EDV remained decreased at T30 (6.15 ± 1.13 cm/s; P < 0.01) and 1 h of simulated transport (T90) (5.87 ± 0.62 cm/s; P < 0.01). Changes in PI at T30 and T90 were not significant. MFV diminished (16.45 ± 3.85 cm/s; P < 0.05) at T90. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes baseline and hemorrhagic shock values for NHP cerebral blood flow velocities and cerebrovascular indices. TCD ultrasonography may represent an important area of research for targeted resuscitation investigations using a hemorrhagic shock model in NHPs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess (1) whether vasoreactivity is altered in patients with epilepsy and (2) whether the two most commonly used approaches, the trans-Sylvian (TS) and the trans-cortical (TC) route, differ in their impact on cortical blood flow. METHODS Patients were randomized to undergo selective amygdalohippocampectomy (selAH) through a TC or TS route. Before and after selAH, we recorded microcirculation parameters on the superficial cortex surrounding the surgical corridor. Blood flow and velocity were measured using laser Doppler flowmetry and micro-Doppler, respectively. Cortical oxygen saturation (SO2) was measured using remission spectrophotometry under hypocapnic and normocapnic conditions. RESULTS Ten patients were operated using the TS approach, and eight were operated via the TC approach. Vasomotor reactivity patterns measured with micro-Doppler were physiologically prior to selAH in both groups. After completion of surgery, a significant increase in SO2-values occurred in the TS group (before: 56.7 ± 2.2, after: 65.5 ± 3.0%SO2), but not in the TC group (before: 52.9 ± 5.2, after: 53.0 ± 3.7%SO2). The rate of critical SO2 values below 25% was significantly higher after the TC approach (12.3%) compared to the TS approach (5.2%; p < 0.05). DISCUSSION Our findings provide the first invasively measured evidence that patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy have preserved cerebral blood flow responses to alterations in CO2. In addition, local cortical SO2 was higher in the TS group than in the TC group after selAH. This may be a sign of reactive cortical vessel dilation after proximal vessel manipulation associated with the TS approach. In contrast, the lower values of SO2 after the TC approach indicate tissue ischaemia surrounding the surgical corridor surrounding the corticotomy.

Body temperature affects cerebral hemodynamics in acutely brain injured patients: an observational transcranial color-coded duplex sonography study. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2014; 18:552.

Abstract
Introduction Temperature changes are common in patients in a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU): fever is frequent among severe cases and hypothermia is used after cardiac arrest and is currently being tested in clinical trials to lower intracranial pressure (ICP). This study investigated cerebral hemodynamics when body temperature varies in acute brain injured patients. Methods We enrolled 26 patients, 14 with acute brain injury who developed fever and were given antipyretic therapy (defervescence group) and 12 who underwent an intracranial neurosurgical procedure and developed hypothermia in the operating room; once admitted to the NICU, still under anesthesia, they were re-warmed before waking (re-warming group). We measured cerebral blood flow velocity (CBF-V) and pulsatility index (PI) at the middle cerebral artery using transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCDS). Results In the defervescence group mean CBF-V decreased from 75 ± 26 (95% CI 65 to 85) to 70 ± 22 cm/s (95% CI 61 to 79) (P = 0.04); the PI also fell, from 1.36 ± 0.33 (95% CI 1.23 to 1.50) to 1.16 ± 0.26 (95% CI 1.05 to 1.26) (P = 0.0005). In the subset of patients with ICP monitoring, ICP dropped from 16 ± 8 to 12 ± 6 mmHg (P = 0.003). In the re-warming group mean CBF-V increased from 36 ± 10 (95% CI 31 to 41) to 39 ± 13 (95% CI 33 to 45) cm/s (P = 0.04); the PI rose from 0.98 ± 0.14 (95% CI 0.91 to 1.04) to 1.09 ± 0.22 (95% CI 0.98 to 1.19) (P = 0.02). Conclusions Body temperature affects cerebral hemodynamics as evaluated by TCCDS; when temperature rises, CBF-V increases in parallel, and viceversa when temperature decreases. When cerebral compliance is reduced and compensation mechanisms are exhausted, even modest temperature changes can greatly affect ICP.

Abstract
The discovery of tissue plasminogen activator to treat acute stroke is a success story of research on preventing brain injury following transient cerebral ischemia (TGI). That this discovery depended upon development of embolic animal model reiterates that proper stroke modeling is the key to develop new treatments. In contrast to TGI, despite extensive research, prevention or treatment of brain injury following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has not been achieved. A lack of adequate aSAH disease model may have contributed to this failure. TGI is an important component of aSAH and shares mechanism of injury with it. We hypothesized that modifying aSAH model using experience acquired from TGI modeling may facilitate development of treatment for aSAH and its complications. This review focuses on similarities and dissimilarities between TGI and aSAH, discusses the existing TGI and aSAH animal models, and presents a modified aSAH model which effectively mimics the disease and has a potential of becoming a better resource for studying the brain injury mechanisms and developing a treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Current computed tomography angiography (CTA) postprocessing tools do not support quantitative assessment of intravascular physiology. Dynamic volumetric CT, acquired at a sufficiently high temporal resolution, is ideal for such analysis. Following preliminary experiments in flow phantoms, we examine the segmentation of blood vessels from 4D CT angiography by curve fit and encoding of functional blood flow information into the resulting functional intravascular maps. MATERIALS AND METHODS Flow phantoms were constructed consisting of a single pipe input and 4 simultaneous outputs of varying flow rates. Two outflow pipe diameters were tested. Bolus transit time (TT), time to peak (TTP), and time of arrival (TOA) were analyzed using contrast bolus profiles generated from 4D volumetric CT examinations on a 320 detector scanner in regions of interest placed 10 cm apart in all outflow pipes. Six subjects with various neurovascular lesions were next examined using a volumetric contrast-enhanced 4D CT angiography protocol. Segmentation was performed by quadratic curve fit after comparative analysis and optimization of the segmentation technique using quadratic curves, the gamma variate function, and a simplified formulation of the gamma variate function. After segmentation, quantitative analysis of spatially congruent intravascular voxels including TTP, rise, TT, and slope of the contrast upstroke was employed to encode physiologic information into the segmentations and produce intravascular functional maps. Comparison was made in each case to the patient's routine imaging. RESULTS Increasing volumetric flow rates correspond to reduction of bolus TT in flow phantoms. TT elongation was observed as the contrast bolus moved distally in all pipes, with greater elongation seen at slower flow rates and larger pipe diameters. A greater difference was observed between TTP proximally and distally in pipes compared with TOA, an effect most prominent at slower flow rates and larger pipe lumens, and thus TTP was chosen for functional encoding into segmentations of the clinical series. In vivo, the quadratic function demonstrated the lowest coefficient of variation when fit to intravascular time density series and outperformed 2 formulations of the gamma variate function. After segmentation with quadratic curves, Gaussian distributions were chosen over gamma variate functions to characterize contrast bolus profiles while neglecting recirculation and to calculate functional parameters for spatial encoding. Intravascular functional maps free of bone artifacts were created in every case that demonstrated all appropriate vessels and showed agreement with conventional imaging modalities in terms of vessel delineation and the diagnosis of vascular pathology. The most useful and interesting functional maps are discussed in each case. CONCLUSIONS The above approach to quantitative CT angiography provides a method of evaluating dynamic CTA data by means of intravascular functional maps. The techniques are broadly applicable in the clinical assessment of a variety of vascular diseases.
