Psychological Outcome after Hemorrhagic Stroke is Related to Functional Status

BackgroundTo identify opportunities to improve morbidity after hemorrhagic stroke, it is imperative to understand factors that are related to psychological outcome.Design/MethodsWe prospectively identified patients with non-traumatic hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage) between January 2015 and February 2021 who were alive 3-months after discharge and telephonically assessed 1) psychological outcome using the Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dyscontrol, fatigue and sleep disturbance inventories and 2) functional outcome using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel Index. We also identified discharge destination for all patients. We then evaluated the relationship between abnormal psychological outcomes (T-score >50) and discharge destination other than home, poor 3-month mRS score defined as 3-5 and poor 3-month Barthel Index defined as <100.Results73 patients were included; 41 (56%) had an abnormal psychological outcome on at least one inventory. There were 41 (56%) patients discharged to a destination other than home, 44 (63%) with poor mRS score and 28 (39%) with poor Barthel Index. Anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral dyscontrol and sleep disturbance were all associated with a destination other than home, poor mRS score, and poor Barthel Index (all p<0.05). Fatigue was related to poor mRS score and poor Barthel Index (p=0.005 and p=0.006, respectively).ConclusionMultiple psychological outcomes 3-months after hemorrhagic stroke are related to functional status. Interventions to improve psychological outcome and reduce morbidity in patients with poor functional status should be explored by the interdisciplinary team.     

MicroRNA-181c provides neuroprotection in an intracerebral hemorrhage model

Apoptosis is an important factor during the early stage of intracerebral hemorrhage.MiR-181 c plays a key regulatory role in apoptosis.However,whether miR-181 c is involved in apoptosis of prophase cells after intracerebral hemorrhage remains unclear.Therefore,in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to test this hypothesis.In vivo experiments:collagenase type VII was injected into the basal ganglia of adult Sprague-Dawley rats to establish an intracerebral hemorrhage model.MiR-181 c mimic or inhibitor was injected in situ 4 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage.Neurological functional defects(neurological severity scores)were assessed 1,7,and 14 days after model establishment.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling and western blot assay were conducted 14 days after model establishment.In vitro experiments:PC12 cells were cultured under oxygen-glucose deprivation,and hemins were added to simulate intracerebral hemorrhage in vitro.MiR-181 c mimic or inhibitor was added to regulate miR-181 c expression.3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay,luciferase reporter system,and western blot assay were performed.Experimental results revealed differences in miR-181 c expression in brain tissues of both patients and rats with cerebral hemorrhage.In addition,in vitro experiments found that miR-181 c overexpression could upregulate the Bcl-2/Bax ratio to inhibit apoptosis,while inhibition of miR-181 c expression could reduce the Bcl-2/Bax ratio and aggravate apoptosis of cells.Regulation of apoptosis occurred through the phosphoinositide 3 kinase(PI3 K)/Akt pathway by targeting of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten(PTEN).Higher miR-181 c overexpression correlated with lower neurological severity scores,indicating better recovery of neurological function.In conclusion,miR-181 c affects the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage by regulating apoptosis,and these effects might be directly mediated and regulated by targeting of the PTEN\PI3 K/Akt pathway and Bcl-2/Bax ratio.Furthermore,these results indicated that miR-181 c played a neuroprotective role in intracerebral hemorrhage by regulating apoptosis of nerve cells,thus providing a potential target for the prevention and treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.Testing of human serum was authorized by the Ethics Committee of China Medical University(No.2012-38-1)on February 20,2012.The protocol was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry(Registration No.ChiCTR-COC-17013559).The animal study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of China Medical University(approval No.2017008)on March 8,2017.     

南充市自发性脑出血发病与气温的相关性及滞后效应

目的分析南充市自发性脑出血（sICH）发病与气温的相关性及滞后关系。 方法收集南充市全市范围内二级以上医院2014年1月至2018年12月收治的sICH患者病例资料及同期气温数据，利用Spearman等级相关法确定最佳温度指标，将其组建分布滞后非线性模型，评估其与sICH日发病风险的暴露-剂量反应关系，分层分析各温度节点在性别及年龄组别的滞后-剂量反应关系。 结果共收集sICH患者资料13 952例。Spearman相关性分析揭示sICH日发病人数与日均气温呈非线性负相关（r=-0.324，P<0.05）。分布滞后非线性模型分析结果表明极低温和低温当天sICH的相对危险度为1.68（1.35~2.08）及1.47（1.24~1.72），危害效应最大，其随着滞后天数增加而减弱，极低温滞后1~2 d，低温持续滞后1~10 d。低龄组（18~60岁）在极低温、低温下滞后2 d，高龄组（>60岁）在极低温下滞后10 d，低温下滞后24 d。不同性别组在极低温、低温下滞后效应趋势一致，随滞后天数增加风险下降。 结论低温增加sICH发病风险，早期呈明显急性影响，且具有滞后效应，老年人对低温反应更加滞后。     

槲皮素对脑出血大鼠神经细胞凋亡与Bcl-2、Bax蛋白表达的作用研究

目的通过观察大鼠脑出血后神经细胞凋亡与Bcl-2、Bax蛋白表达的动态变化及槲皮素的干预作用,探讨槲皮素可能的神经保护作用及机制。方法以雄性健康SD大鼠通过自体血注入法制备大鼠脑出血模型,并随机分为假手术组、脑出血模型组、槲皮素低剂量组、槲皮素高剂量组,共4组,每组30只;槲皮素低剂量组和槲皮素高剂量组分别给予槲皮素10、50 mg/(kg·d)腹腔内注射,假手术组和脑出血模型组给予同等体积生理盐水腹腔内注射,每日1次,连续7 d;各组大鼠分别在术后第6小时、1天、2天、3天、7天通过前肢放置试验评分法评估神经功能缺损,采用TUNEL法检测血肿周围神经细胞凋亡,采用Western blot法检测血肿周围Bcl-2和Bax蛋白的表达情况。结果与模型组比较,槲皮素低剂量组在脑出血后第3天、7天及槲皮素高剂量组在第2天、3天、7天的前肢放置试验评分和Bcl-2蛋白表达均明显增加(P<0.01);与模型组比较,槲皮素低剂量组在第3天、7天及槲皮素高剂量组在第1天、2天、3天、7天的神经细胞凋亡率和Bax蛋白表达均明显降低(P<0.01)。结论槲皮素能减轻脑出血后神经功能损伤,其机制可能与上调Bcl-2蛋白表达,下调Bax蛋白表达,从而减少神经细胞凋亡有关。     

Identification of intracerebral hemorrhage in the early-phase of MM1+2C-type sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease: A case report

We report a case of early-phase sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD) complicated by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), classified as MM1 + 2C-type based on autopsy. A 61-year-old Japanese man presented to our hospital with speaking difficulties including repeated usage of the same words. He was hospitalized on the seventh day after symptom onset, and diffusion-weighted images on magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperintense regions in the frontal cortex and caudate nucleus. On the 11th day after symptom onset, head computed tomography revealed ICH in the right occipital and parietal lobes. Routine laboratory evaluations and angiography revealed no cause of ICH. Myoclonus of the extremities and drowsiness were observed on the 15th day after symptom onset. He reached the state of akinetic mutism approximately two months after symptom onset. The cerebrospinal fluid test revealed positive real-time quaking-induced conversion and 14-3-3 protein. Electroencephalography revealed periodic sharp wave complexes. A clinical diagnosis of probable Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease was made according to the diagnostic criteria. After a relapse of pneumonia, he passed away on the 103rd day after symptom onset. Postmortem examination revealed ICH in the right posterior cingulate gyrus. No pathological change that might have caused ICH was obtained. Although the effect of sCJD on the onset of ICH is undeniable, the cause of ICH was unknown. Prion protein immunohistochemistry revealed the following results: (1) weak synaptic-type deposits in the tissue rarefacted by ICH; (2) synaptic-type deposits in the cerebral cortex, which showed fine vacuoles; and (3) perivacuolar-type deposits in the inferior temporal gyrus and lingual gyrus, which showed frequent large confluent vacuoles. Although it could be considered MM1-type sCJD clinically, this case was neuropathologically diagnosed as having MM1 + 2C-type sCJD. It was shown that ICH may occur in early-phase sCJD. To improve sCJD prognosis, treatment of complications and careful follow up are important. Furthermore, pathological diagnosis is indispensable for sCJD type diagnosis.     

Primary and Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke and Cerebral Hemorrhage: JACC Focus Seminar

Stroke is a leading cause of permanent disability. Therefore, primary prevention of first stroke and secondary prevention of recurrent stroke are a high priority. Primary prevention of ischemic stroke includes lifestyle modification and diet, treatment of risk factors including hypertension, diabetes mellitus and lipid disorders, antiplatelet therapy for high vascular risk patients, and anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation. Secondary prevention of ischemic stroke includes additional carotid surgery or stenting in selected symptomatic patients, closure of patent foramen ovale after cryptogenic stroke, treatment of insulin resistance, and best medical treatment of intracranial stenosis. The most important preventive strategies in the primary and secondary prevention of cerebral hemorrhage include the treatment of hypertension, reduction in alcohol intake, and occlusion of the left atrial appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation and permanent contraindications for oral anticoagulation.     

Prediction of hematoma expansion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: Our institutional experience

BackgroundSpontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is a disease process with high morbidity and mortality. In particular, hematoma expansion (HE) is a feared complication of sICH. With 15–40% of patients experiencing HE, it has become increasingly important to predict which sICH will remain stable and which will expand.ObjectiveWith new treatment options being developed, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to predict which hemorrhages are at high versus low risk for expansion. The authors of this study hope to reexamine variables associated with hematoma expansion in hopes of generating newer data on risk factors for expansion.MethodsA retrospective analysis identified 334 patients who presented with sICH. The primary outcome was HE on follow up head CT. HE was defined as a greater than 33% increase or an absolute increase in 6 mL or more in overall volume between the two sets of CT images. Analysis was performed using unpaired t-test, Chi-square, and Fisher’s exact tests, as appropriate.ResultsOf the 334 patients, 247 (74.0%) did not experience an expansion of their ICH while 87 (26.0%) did. Multivariable logistic regression was performed demonstrating ICH score of 3 or greater (4.76 (95% CI 2.60–8.72, p < 0.001) , cortical location of the sICH (1.77 (95% CI 1.03–3.04, p = 0.038), and presence of a fluid level (6.46 (95% CI 2.28–18.3, p < 0.001) as significant predictors of HE.ConclusionsOur study found that fluid–fluid levels on non-contrast CT, an ICH score 3 or greater, and lobar sICH were all more likely to expand.
