Objective To explore the related risk factors of rupture of very small intracranial aneurysms(VSIA),and to provide guidance for the clinical management of unruptured intracranial microaneurysms.Methods A total of 99 patients of single very small intracranial aneurysms at Calmette Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University from January 2016 to November 2021 were continuously included in the study.They were divided into ruptured group(n=48)and non-ruptured group(n=51)according to whether or not they ruptured.The clinical features,tumor location,shape and morphological parameters of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.Independent sample t test orx2test was used to analyze the significance of these factors.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was further performed on the statistically significant factors in the univariate analysis.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the optimal threshold of each parameter to predict the rupture of microaneurysms.Results There were significant differences in aneurysm location,morphology,inflow angle,aneurysm angle,aspect ratio,volume to neck ratio,diameter-width ratio,size ratio,hypertension history and smoking history between the ruptured group and the non-ruptured group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking history,inflow angle,diameter-width ratio,volume to neck ratio and shape were independent risk factors for rupture of microaneurysms(P<0.05).The ROC curve showed that the maximum area under the curve of the inflow angle was 0.864,which was the most accurate to evaluate whether the VSIA was ruptured.Conclusion Very small intracranial aneurysm with large inflow angles,diameter-width ratio,volume to neck ratio,irregularities in the aneurysm,and location in the anterior communicating artery are considered to be at high risk of rupture,and aggressive surgical intervention is recommended if conditions warrant.For patients with a history of hypertension and smoking,it is recommended to control blood pressure well,quit smoking,undergo regular digital subtraction angiography review,and timely surgical intervention if aneurysm morphology changes.
随着医学诊疗技术的迅速发展,造影剂被越来越广泛使用,其副反应如过敏反应、肾功能损害及造影剂脑病(contrast-induced encephalopathy,CIE)等也随之增多.造影剂对神经系统的副反应的患病率约为1%~2%[1].CIE是一种使用造影剂后出现短暂性、可逆性的神经功能障碍和CT扫描异常的罕见疾病,大部分预后良好,但仍有极少数患者出现严重神经功能障碍,甚至死亡.大部分致死性CIE病例均因为使用高渗性造影剂,对于非离子单体低渗造影剂诱发的致死性CIE报道极为少见.本文报道1例使用碘普罗胺造影剂的颅内动脉瘤栓塞术后发生致死性CIE的临床表现、病因、诊治经过,旨在提高对CIE的认识.

Objective: To explore how miR-124 reduces brain cell apoptosis and provides a neuroprotective effect after intracerebral hemorrhage by activating the STAT3 signaling pathway.Methods: A total of 96 clean-grade healthy male rats were randomly selected and randomly divided into a sham operation group (a craniotomy to expose the coronal skull suture and anterior condyle, with no injection of autologous blood into the putamen), a model group (use brain localizer to inject autologous blood into rat putamen), an miR-124 overexpression group (use a brain localizer to inject autologous blood into the rat putamen and slowly inject diluted miR-124 analogs into the rat lateral ventricle), and an miR-124 low expression group (use a brain localizer to inject autologous blood into the rat putamen and then slowly inject a diluted miR-124 antagonist into the rat lateral ventricle), with 24 rats in each group. The expression of miR-124 in each group was determined by real-time quantitative PCR. The expression of inflammatory cells in the brain tissue of each group was observed by HE staining. TUNEL staining was used to determine the apoptosis of brain tissue cells in each group. Western blot was used to determine the expression of STAT3 in each group.Results: Compared with the sham operation group, the expression levels of miR-124, inflammatory cells, and apoptosis in the tissues surrounding the cerebral hemorrhage in the model group were significantly increased, and the expression level of STAT3 was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the miR-124 overexpression group had significantly higher miR-124 expression levels, inflammatory cells, and apoptosis, and significantly reduced STAT3 expression levels. In the miR-124 low expression group, the expression levels of miR-124, inflammatory cells, and apoptosis in the tissues surrounding the cerebral hemorrhage were significantly reduced, and the expression level of STAT3 was significantly increased (P< 0.05).Conclusions: Inhibition of miR-124 expression could activate the STAT3 signaling pathway, significantly reduce brain cell apoptosis and inflammatory cells after cerebral hemorrhage, and thus play a neuroprotective role.
INTRODUCTION:Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), caused by rupture of an intracranial aneurysm and bleeding into the subarachnoid space, is a life-threatening cerebrovascular disease. Because of improvements in clinical interventions, the mortality rate of aSAH is gradually decreasing. Thus, many survivors recover from aSAH but still have sequelae. Working memory (WM) deficit is one of the most common and severe sequelae after aSAH. Interestingly, the severity of WM deficit is not identical to the extent or localization of brain damage, which implies an underlying mechanism of WM deficit other than direct hemorrhagic brain damage. Previous studies have revealed altered neural activity of several brain regions during stimulus tasks. However, the behaviors and functional organization of these corresponding areas in the resting state remain unclear. Insights into the organization of the WM network could reveal novel information about the mechanism of WM deficits, which will be of great value in developing new therapeutic strategies.METHODS:In this study, we recruited 50 aSAH patients consisting of survivors with either impaired or intact WM (two groups). Independent component analysis was performed on resting state data to extract the WM network. Dynamic causal modeling was then performed to assess the intrinsic coupling between key regions of the WM network. A model describing the neural activity and functional organization of the WM network was established, although some connections were not consistent in the resting state.RESULTS:We found that effective connectivity of the precuneus (PCUN)-middle temporal gyrus (MTG), MTG-PCUN, and middle frontal gyrus-inferior parietal lobule was significantly decreased in the impaired WM group, which suggests a vital and central role of affected regions or connections and provides new targets for brain stimulation.CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study may contribute to new therapeutic or rehabilitation strategies for aSAH patients with WM deficits.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) after surgeries in Yunnan Province. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the demographic features, vascular risk factors, severity at admission, and aneurysm locations in 85 patients with aSAH receiving surgical interventions in Yunnan Province. All the patients were treated by aneurysm clipping or coiling and followed up for clinical outcomes and recovery of daily activities evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, respectively. RESULTS:Thirty-four of the patients (40.0%) underwent aneurysm clipping and 51 (60.0%) underwent aneurysm coiling. During a median follow- up period of 66.23 months (IOR, 12.03 months), 84.7% of the patients had low mRS scores, and 78.8% lived independently. The WFNS grade at admission was significantly correlated with the follow-up mRS scores (95%CI: 1.48-19.09, P=0.011) and ADL (95%CI: 2.55-28.77, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age (95%CI: 1.02-1.23, P=0.017; 95%CI: 1.00-1.15, P=0.038) and a high WFNS grade at admission (95%CI: 2.19-141.48, P=0.007; 95%CI: 2.84-82.61, P=0.002) were independent predictors of both mRS and ADL scores at follow-up. There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes or the length of hospital stay between the two treatment strategies (P > 0.05), but the cost of hospitalization was significantly higher in coiling group than in the clipping group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Both aging and a high WFNS grade at admission are associated with a poor prognosis of aSAH, for which aneurysm clipping and coiling have similar long- term outcomes, but for patients with a high WFNS score, aneurysm clipping is favored over coiling in terms of health economics.

BACKGROUND: More than 20 neurotrophic factors have been found. Among them, nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are the most widely distributed growth factors in the central nervous system, and they are responsible for the growth, development and neuronal plasticity of the central nervous system and even of the entire brain. OBJECTIVE: To fully understand NGF and BDNF, learn more about their role in the repair of nervous system damage, and to review the research progress in NGF and BDNF and their precursors. METHODS: A computer-based online retrieval of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed to search relevant papers about neurotrophic factors, NGF and BDNF. The keywords were “nerve growth factor (NGF), proform of nerve growth factor (proNGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), precursor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (proBDNF), neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin receptor” in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: NGF has the biological function of protecting neurons after peripheral nerve injury. The precursor of NGF simultaneously forms trimers of signal transducers with receptors p75 NTR and Sortilin and induces apoptosis and death of nerves post-nerve injury. PDNF preferentially binds to TrkB to produce biological effects that promote synaptic growth or support the survival and differentiation of neurons. The precursor of BDNF preferentially binds p75 NTR and Sortilin to trigger neuronal apoptosis. With the deepening of the research, it has been found that the precursors of NGF and BDNF exhibit the opposite biological effects on the mature NGF and BDNF, but the specific mechanism of action remains unclear.

〔Abstract〕Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of propofol on the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury with continuous invasive intracranial pressure monitoring. Methods: 32 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups with invasive intracranial pressure monitoring. In propofol group, patients were given continuous intravenous pumping of propofol for 1-4 days. Patients in the control group were given a regular treatment of neurosurgery. Close observation of GCS scoring, ICP change rate, total amount of mannitol and complication was carried out. Results:Two groups had no significant difference in GCS scoring in 1 week(P>0.05). On the 3rd day and 4th day, the decrease of ICP of propofol group was greater than that of control group. The total amount of mannitol of experiment group was obviously smaller than that of control group on the 2nd day, the 3rd day and 4th day(P< 0.05). Conclusion:In a certain period of time, propofol would help reduce the ICP, thus decreasing the total amount of mannitol. However, it showed no significance in short-term prognosis.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the neurobehavioral change in rats subjected traumatic brain injury (TBI) and explore the mechanism involving in the expression of synaptophysin.MethodsSprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into Sham and TBI groups. TBI was induced by modified Feeney’s freefall method. Neurological severity score (NSS) was assessed at 2 days, 4 days and 7 days after operation, and cortex was obtained at 7 days post TBI. Then, Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of synaptophysin. Lastly, immunofluorescence staining was conducted to localize synaptophysin.ResultsNSS was significantly aggregated after TBI, compared with the Sham group. The mRNA and protein expressions of synaptophysin were increased in TBI group than that in the Sham group. Synaptophysin‐positive cells were also enhanced in TBI group and mainly expressed in neutrophil.ConclusionThe nerve function change induced by TBI was associated with the upregulation of synaptophysin expression.
BACKGROUND:There are several routes for stem cel transplantation;however, it is stil unable to determine which one is the best. As for the different individuals with brain injury, the type of transplanted cel s, transplantation route and time wil affect the therapeutic effects. <br> OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bone marrow mononuclear cel s transplanted via different approaches on neurological function of rats with traumatic brain injury. <br> METHODS:Bone marrow mononuclear cel s of rats were administered gradient centrifugation with Ficol lymphocyte separation medium, and were labeled with CFDA-SE in vitro as standby. Rat models of traumatic brain injury were established by the method of freefal . After successful establishment of rat models, bone marrow mononuclear cel s labeled with CFDA-SE were immediately transplanted into rats via injured area, lateral ventricle and internal carotid artery. One control group was designated for each transplantation route (bone marrow mononuclear cel s were replaced with the same volume of DMEM). The degree of neurological deficits was evaluated using mNSS scores at different time points after treatment. The brain tissue was harvested after the last neurobehavioral evaluation. The survival and migration of bone marrow mononuclear cel s in the injured area were observed under an inverted fluorescent microscope. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 7, 10, and 14 days after treatment, the mNSS scores of rats in al groups were al lower than those at 1 and 3 days (P<0.05). At 7 and 10 days, the mNSS scores of rats in the internal carotid artery transplantation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). At 14 days after treatment, the number of fluorescence-labeled cel s of rats in the internal carotid artery transplantation group was greater than that in the other groups (P<0.05) and these labeled cel s were widely distributed. The results demonstrate that the neurological function of rats can be improved by transplanting bone marrow mononuclear cel s via the internal carotid artery, and a large number of transplanted cel s can survive and migrate in the injured area.
