Background and Purpose— The structurally related, inwardly rectifying K+ (KIR) channel and the ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel are important modulators of cerebral artery tone. Although protein kinase C (PKC) activators have been shown to inhibit these channels with the use of patch-clamp electrophysiology, effects of PKC on K+ channel function in intact cerebral blood vessels are unknown. We therefore tested whether pharmacological alteration of PKC activity affects cerebral vasodilator responses to KIR and/or KATP channel activators in vivo. Methods— We measured changes in basilar artery diameter using a cranial window preparation in anesthetized rats. In addition, intracellular recordings of smooth muscle membrane potential were made in isolated basilar arteries. Results— K+ (5 to 15 mmol/L) and aprikalim (1 to 10 &mgr;mol/L) each elicited reproducible vasodilatation. The PKC activator phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PdBu) (50 nmol/L) inhibited responses to K+ (by 40% to 55%) and aprikalim (by 40% to 70%), whereas responses to papaverine were unaffected. The PKC inhibitor calphostin C (0.1 &mgr;mol/L) augmented responses to K+ (by 2- to 3-fold) and aprikalim (2-fold) but not papaverine. In addition, K+ (5 mmol/L) and aprikalim (3 &mgr;mol/L) each hyperpolarized the basilar artery. PdBu inhibited these responses to aprikalim by 45% but had no effect on K+-induced hyperpolarization. Conclusions— These data suggest that both basal and stimulated PKC activity inhibit KIR and KATP channel–mediated cerebral vasodilatation in vivo. The inhibitory effect on KATP channel–mediated vasodilatation occurs at least partly by inhibition of hyperpolarization mediated by KATP channels. PKC inhibits K+-induced vasodilatation without affecting hyperpolarization, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of PKC on vasodilator responses to K+ does not involve altered KIR channel function.
背景与目的-结构相关的内向整流K+ (KIR)通道和atp敏感的K+ (KATP)通道是脑动脉张力的重要调节剂。尽管使用膜片钳电生理学已经证明蛋白激酶C (PKC)激活剂可以抑制这些通道,但PKC对完整脑血管中K+通道功能的影响尚不清楚。因此,我们在体内测试了PKC活性的药理学改变是否会影响脑血管扩张剂对KIR和/或KATP通道激活剂的反应。方法:我们在麻醉的大鼠中使用颅窗制备来测量基底动脉直径的变化。此外,还对离体基底动脉进行了细胞内平滑肌膜电位的记录。结果:K+ (5 ~ 15mmol /L)和aprikalim (1 ~ 10mmol /L)均可引起可重复的血管扩张。PKC激活剂phorpol -12,13-dibutyrate (PdBu) (50 nmol/L)抑制K+(40% ~ 55%)和aprikalim(40% ~ 70%)的反应,而对罂粟碱的反应不受影响。PKC抑制剂calphostin C (0.1 mol/L)增强了对K+(2- 3倍)和aprikalim(2倍)的反应,但对罂粟碱没有作用。此外,K+ (5mmol /L)和aprikalim (3mmol /L)均使基底动脉超极化。PdBu对aprikalim的抑制作用为45%,但对K+诱导的超极化没有影响。结论-这些数据表明,基础和刺激的PKC活性均抑制体内KIR和KATP通道介导的脑血管舒张。对KATP通道介导的血管舒张的抑制作用至少部分是通过抑制KATP通道介导的超极化来实现的。PKC抑制K+诱导的血管舒张而不影响超极化,这表明PKC对K+血管舒张反应的抑制作用与KIR通道功能的改变无关。

Background and Purpose— Severe motor deficits are the predominant cause of long-term disability in stroke patients. In particular, progressive hemiparesis in the initial stage after stroke onset is frequently devastating. Therefore, we attempted to define the population at risk with respect to the presumed pathogenesis. Methods— Among 941 stroke patients hospitalized during a 3-year period, 92 patients (41 men, 51 women; mean age, 68 years) had a severe motor deficit (<25 of 42 points on the 7 motor items of the European Stroke Scale) resulting from brain infarcts. Risk factors, neurological examinations, comprehensive diagnostic tests, and therapy were documented. The study population was separated into patients with (group A) and without (group B) progressive motor deficits. Progression was defined as a further decrease of at least 5 points on the initial European Stroke Scale motor score during the first 5 days after stroke onset. Results— Of the 92 patients, 23.9% had significant worsening of motor function with a decrease in the mean European Stroke Scale motor score from 20.3 to 12.9 points (P <0.01). Infarcts in group A patients were subcortical in 59.1%, whereas most infarcts were cortical in group B (61.4%, P <0.05). Progressive hemiparesis was also significantly associated with lacunar stroke (group A:, 59.1%; group B, 24.3%;P <0.01). With regard to risk factors, diagnostic studies, and neuroimaging, small-vessel disease was the predominant presumed cause of stroke in group A (63.6%, P <0.01), whereas infarcts in group B patients were frequently caused by embolism from cardiac or undetermined sources (61.4%, P <0.01). Prevalence of high-grade carotid stenosis was not significantly different between groups A and B; however, subtotal stenoses and complete internal carotid artery occlusions were found only among patients without progressive motor deficits. Conclusions— Lacunar stroke caused by small-vessel disease is the major cause of progressive motor deficits, probably because of stepwise occlusion of the branches of small penetrating arteries.
背景和目的——严重的运动障碍是脑卒中患者长期残疾的主要原因。特别是,中风发作后初期的进行性偏瘫往往是毁灭性的。因此,我们试图根据假定的发病机制来确定高危人群。方法:在3年内住院的941例脑卒中患者中,92例患者(男性41例,女性51例;平均年龄68岁)有严重的运动缺陷(在欧洲卒中量表的7项运动项目中42分中<25分)导致脑梗死。记录危险因素、神经学检查、综合诊断测试和治疗。研究人群分为有(A组)和无(B组)进行性运动缺陷的患者。进展被定义为在卒中发作后的前5天内,欧洲卒中量表初始运动评分进一步下降至少5分。结果:在92例患者中,23.9%的患者运动功能明显恶化,欧洲卒中量表运动评分从20.3分下降到12.9分(P <0.01)。A组以皮质下梗死为主(59.1%),B组以皮质梗死为主(61.4%,P <0.05)。进行性偏瘫也与腔隙性脑卒中显著相关(A组:,59.1%;B组为24.3%;P <0.01)。在危险因素、诊断研究和神经影像学方面,小血管疾病是A组中风的主要推定原因(63.6%,P <0.01),而B组患者的梗死通常是由心脏栓塞或不明原因引起的(61.4%,P <0.01)。A组和B组颈动脉高度狭窄发生率无显著差异;然而,仅在没有进行性运动障碍的患者中发现了次全狭窄和完全颈内动脉闭塞。结论:小血管疾病引起的腔隙性卒中是进行性运动障碍的主要原因,可能是因为小穿透动脉分支的逐步闭塞。

Background and Purpose— The functional integrity of the hemostatic system is a prerequisite for the safe performance of neurosurgical procedures. To monitor the individual coagulation capacity of each patient, standard tests are effective to detect deficiencies involving the generation of fibrin. However, fibrin clot strength depends primarily on coagulation factor XIII, which cross-links fibrin monomers and enhances clot resistance against fibrinolysis. Therefore, factor XIII is functionally involved in both the hemostatic and fibrinolytic systems. The objective of this prospective study was to determine the incidence and clinical relevance of perioperative decreased factor XIII with respect to standard coagulation parameters and the occurrence of postoperative hematoma. Methods— In 876 patients, 910 neurosurgical procedures were performed. Prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), platelet count, fibrinogen, and factor XIII were tested in each patient preoperatively and postoperatively. Results— Postoperative intracranial hematoma (defined as requiring surgical evacuation) occurred after 39 (4.3%) of 910 surgical procedures. Patients with postoperative hematoma had significantly lower factor XIII and fibrinogen levels preoperatively and postoperatively than patients without hematoma. In patients with postoperative hematoma, PT and platelets differed significantly only postoperatively, whereas PTT was different neither preoperatively nor postoperatively. Of the 39 patients with a postoperative hematoma, 13 (33.3%) had a postoperative factor XIII <60% compared with 61 (7%) of 867 patients without hematoma (P <0.01, Fisher’s exact test). The relative risk of developing a postoperative hematoma is therefore increased 6.4-fold in patients with postoperative factor XIII <60%. The risk is increased 12-fold in patients who additionally have postoperative decreased fibrinogen levels (<1.5 g/L) and 9-fold in patients with platelet count <150×109/L and factor XIII <60%. Conclusions— This is the first prospective study that demonstrates the association of decreased perioperative factor XIII with an increased risk of postoperative hematoma in neurosurgical patients. The risk is further increased in those patients with low factor XIII and additional abnormalities of fibrinogen, PT, platelets, and PTT. Factor XIII testing and specific replacement, as accepted for other clotting factors, may reduce the risk of postoperative hematoma.
背景和目的-止血系统的功能完整性是神经外科手术安全进行的先决条件。为了监测每个患者的个体凝血能力,标准测试可以有效地检测涉及纤维蛋白生成的缺陷。然而,纤维蛋白凝块强度主要取决于凝血因子XIII,它与纤维蛋白单体交联,增强凝块抵抗纤维蛋白溶解的能力。因此,因子XIII在止血系统和纤溶系统中都有功能参与。本前瞻性研究的目的是确定围手术期降低因子XIII的发生率及其与标准凝血参数和术后血肿发生率的临床相关性。方法:在876例患者中,进行了910例神经外科手术。术前、术后分别检测凝血酶原时间(PT)、部分凝血活酶时间(PTT)、血小板计数、纤维蛋白原、因子XIII。结果-术后颅内血肿(定义为需要手术清除)发生在910例手术中的39例(4.3%)。术后血肿患者术前和术后的因子XIII和纤维蛋白原水平明显低于无血肿患者。在术后血肿患者中,PT和血小板仅在术后有显著差异,而PTT在术前和术后均无差异。39例术后血肿患者中,13例(33.3%)术后因子XIII <60%,而867例无血肿患者中有61例(7%)术后因子XIII <60% (P <0.01, Fisher精确检验)。因此,术后因素XIII <60%的患者发生术后血肿的相对风险增加6.4倍。术后纤维蛋白原水平降低(<1.5 g/L)的患者风险增加12倍,血小板计数<150×109/L且因子XIII <60%的患者风险增加9倍。结论:这是首个证明围手术期因子XIII降低与神经外科患者术后血肿风险增加相关的前瞻性研究。在低因子XIII和纤维蛋白原、PT、血小板和PTT异常的患者中,风险进一步增加。对其他凝血因子进行Factor XIII检测和特异性替代,可以降低术后血肿的风险。

Background and Purpose— A small centrum ovale infarct (SCOI), caused by occlusion of the white matter medullary arteries, is often equated with a lacunar infarct. We sought to clarify the clinical characteristics of a SCOI visualized by diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) compared with those of a small basal ganglia infarct (SBGI). Methods— Patients with a SCOI (SCOI group; n=38) or SBGI (SBGI group; n=68) ≤15 mm in diameter on conventional MRI and DWI were selected from 582 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke. Sex, age, neurological symptoms, vascular risk factors, emboligenic heart disease, arterial occlusive disease in the ipsilateral carotid system, and recurrent stroke within the initial 30 days were compared between the 2 groups. Results— Only 47% of SCOIs but 87% of SBGIs could be identified with the use of conventional MRI, whereas DWI could detect them all. Age, sex, and vascular risk factors were not significantly different between the 2 groups. The SCOI group had more frequently an abrupt onset of symptoms (63% versus 26%;P =0.0002), emboligenic heart diseases (34% versus 12%;P =0.0054), occlusive carotid and/or middle cerebral artery diseases (53% versus 19%;P =0.0004), and recurrent stroke (13% versus 1%;P =0.0216) but less frequently a classic lacunar syndrome (50% versus 81%;P =0.0009) than the SBGI group. On a multivariate analysis, both arterial and heart diseases were independently associated with the SCOI group. Conclusions— Symptomatic SCOIs detected by DWI may be associated with large-vessel and heart diseases and should be distinguished from lacunar infarcts.
背景和目的:由髓质动脉白质阻塞引起的小卵圆心梗死(SCOI)通常等同于腔隙性梗死。我们试图澄清扩散加权MRI (DWI)显示的SCOI与小基底神经节梗死(SBGI)的临床特征。方法:SCOI患者(SCOI组;n=38)或SBGI组(SBGI组;选取582例连续急性缺血性脑卒中患者,常规MRI和DWI上直径≤15 mm (n=68)。比较两组患者的性别、年龄、神经系统症状、血管危险因素、栓塞性心脏病、同侧颈动脉系统动脉闭塞性疾病、30天内卒中复发情况。结果-使用常规MRI只能识别47%的scoi和87%的sbgi,而DWI可以检测到所有scoi。两组患者年龄、性别、血管危险因素差异无统计学意义。与SBGI组相比,SCOI组更频繁地出现突发性症状(63%对26%,P =0.0002)、栓塞性心脏病(34%对12%,P =0.0054)、颈动脉和/或大脑中动脉闭塞性疾病(53%对19%,P =0.0004)和复发性中风(13%对1%,P =0.0216),但典型腔隙综合征的发生率较低(50%对81%,P =0.0009)。在多变量分析中,动脉和心脏疾病都与SCOI组独立相关。结论:DWI检测到的症状性scoi可能与大血管和心脏疾病有关,应与腔隙性梗死区分开。

Background and Purpose— Higher plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) levels have been associated with carotid atherosclerosis and cerebral infarction in whites. However, data regarding such associations are limited for Asians. This study examined associations between tHcy levels and severity of carotid atherosclerosis in Japanese subjects. Additionally, because lacunar infarction is the most prevalent type of ischemic stroke in Japan, we also investigated its associations with tHcy levels. Methods— The subjects were 152 Japanese patients (age, 66.2±11.0 years) at our hospital. Using ultrasound, we evaluated severity of carotid atherosclerosis by plaque score, which is defined by the sum of all plaque (intima-media thickness ≥1.1 mm) height in bilateral carotid arteries. In 112 of 152 patients, the existence of lacunar infarction was evaluated on brain MRI scans. Results— A moderate linear association was found between tHcy levels and plaque score (r =0.48, P <0.0001). Moreover, tHcy level was associated with plaque score (&bgr;=0.26, P <0.001) independently of traditional atherosclerotic risk factors. In logistic regression analyses, each 1-&mgr;mol/L-higher tHcy level was associated with a 1.37-fold-higher [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.19 to 1.58] likelihood for lacunar infarction, increasing the likelihood by 1.22-fold (95% CI, 1.04 to 1.43) independently of traditional atherosclerotic risk factors. Conclusions— Higher tHcy levels appear to have associations with increased severity of carotid atherosclerotic plaques and prevalent lacunar infarction in the Japanese. Larger prospective studies are necessary to establish whether higher tHcy levels serve as a harbinger for insidious carotid and cerebrovascular diseases.
背景和目的:较高的血浆总同型半胱氨酸(tHcy)水平与白人颈动脉粥样硬化和脑梗死有关。然而,有关亚洲人这种关联的数据有限。本研究调查了日本受试者中tHcy水平与颈动脉粥样硬化严重程度之间的关系。此外,由于腔隙性梗死是日本最常见的缺血性卒中类型,我们也研究了其与tHcy水平的关系。方法:选取我院收治的日本患者152例(年龄66.2±11.0岁)。通过超声,我们通过斑块评分来评估颈动脉粥样硬化的严重程度,斑块评分由双侧颈动脉中所有斑块(内膜-中膜厚度≥1.1 mm)高度的总和来定义。在152例患者中,112例通过脑MRI扫描评估腔隙性梗死的存在。结果:tHcy水平与斑块评分之间存在中度线性关联(r =0.48, P <0.0001)。此外,tHcy水平与斑块评分相关(&bgr;=0.26, P <0.001),独立于传统的动脉粥样硬化危险因素。在logistic回归分析中,tHcy水平每升高1 mol/ l,腔隙性梗死的可能性增加1.37倍[95%置信区间(CI), 1.19至1.58],独立于传统动脉粥样硬化危险因素的可能性增加1.22倍(95% CI, 1.04至1.43)。结论:在日本,较高的tHcy水平似乎与颈动脉粥样硬化斑块的严重程度增加和普遍的腔隙性梗死有关。需要更大规模的前瞻性研究来确定高tHcy水平是否预示着颈内动脉和脑血管疾病的发生。

Background and Purpose— Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a risk factor for stroke. However, TIA may also serve as a preconditioning stimulus, reducing damage from subsequent stroke. We tested the hypothesis that experimental TIA induces expression of P450 2C11, an arachidonic acid epoxygenase that produces vasodilator epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, leading to increased tissue perfusion and reduced stroke damage. Methods— Wistar rats underwent three 10-minute middle cerebral artery occlusions (TIA) or sham surgery. Three days later, animals were subjected to 2-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion and 24 hours of reperfusion. Brains were stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride for infarct size measurement or processed for quantification of P450 2C11 mRNA and protein with the use of RNase protection assay and Western blotting. Regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) at the end of 2-hour ischemia was measured in separate groups of rats with iodoantipyrine autoradiography. Results— Cerebral infarct was reduced by >50% in TIA- versus sham-preconditioned animals. 2C11 mRNA and protein were increased in ipsilateral hemisphere by 3 days after TIA but not sham surgery. Induction of 2C11 by TIA was also evident in ipsilateral hemisphere at 24 hours after 2-hour middle cerebral artery occlusion and 24 hours of reperfusion. End-ischemic regional CBF was not different between TIA- and sham-pretreated groups. Conclusions— We conclude that experimental TIA induces ischemic tolerance by a mechanism temporally linked to upregulation of P450 2C11. Enzyme induction does not attenuate ischemic severity by amplifying end-ischemic CBF.
背景与目的-短暂性脑缺血发作(TIA)是卒中的危险因素之一。然而,TIA也可以作为预处理刺激,减少随后中风的损害。我们验证了实验TIA诱导P450 2C11表达的假设,P450 2C11是一种花生四烯酸加氧酶,可产生血管舒张剂环氧二碳三烯酸,导致组织灌注增加,减少脑卒中损伤。方法:Wistar大鼠进行3次10分钟大脑中动脉闭塞(TIA)或假手术。3 d后,阻断大脑中动脉2小时,再灌注24小时。脑染色2,3,5-三苯四唑氯测定梗死面积或处理后定量P450 2C11 mRNA和蛋白与RNase保护实验和Western blotting。采用碘安替比林放射自显像法测定各组大鼠缺血2小时时脑血流(CBF)。结果:与假预处理相比,TIA预处理的脑梗死减少了50%以上。术后3 d同侧半球2C11 mRNA和蛋白水平升高,假手术后无升高。大脑中动脉闭塞2小时和再灌注24小时后,TIA对同侧半球2C11的诱导作用也很明显。缺血终末区域CBF在TIA和假预处理组之间没有差异。结论-我们得出的结论是,实验性TIA通过一种与P450 2C11上调有关的机制诱导缺血耐受。酶诱导不能通过放大缺血末端脑血流来减轻缺血严重程度。

Background and Purpose— We compared the clinical course of 36 consecutive patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (more than two thirds of the middle cerebral artery territory) treated with hemicraniectomy (CE; n=17) or moderate hypothermia (MH; n=19) in terms of intracranial pressure control, mortality, and specific treatment parameters. Methods— Over a period of 18 months, patients with severe ischemic stroke were treated with CE when the nondominant hemisphere was affected and with MH when the dominant hemisphere was affected. MH (33°C) was induced with either cold blankets and fans (n=11) or endovascular cooling (n=8). Intracranial pressure was monitored invasively in all cases. Results— Age, sex, cranial CT findings, level of consciousness, and time to treatment were similar between the 2 groups; significant differences were noted in National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (20 [range, 18 to 22] and 17 [range, 16 to 18] for MH and CE, respectively) but were not present when NIHSS score was corrected for aphasia (17 [range, 15 to 19] and 17 [range, 16 to 18] for MH and CE, respectively). Mortality was 12% for CE and 47% for MH; 1 patient treated with MH died as a result of treatment complications (sepsis) and 3 of intracranial pressure crises that occurred during rewarming. Duration of mechanical ventilation and of neurological intensive care unit stay did not significantly differ, but duration of catecholamine application and maximal catecholamine dosage were significantly higher in the MH group. Conclusions— In patients with severe ischemic stroke, CE results in lower mortality and lower complication rates compared with MH. Both treatment modalities, however, are associated with intensive medical treatment and a prolonged stay in the neurological intensive care unit.
背景和目的:我们比较了36例连续的重度急性缺血性卒中(超过三分之二的大脑中动脉区域)患者的临床病程,这些患者接受了半脑切除术(CE;n=17)或中低温(MH;N =19)在颅内压控制、死亡率和具体治疗参数方面。方法:在18个月的时间里,严重缺血性卒中患者在非优势半球受影响时接受CE治疗,在优势半球受影响时接受MH治疗。用冷毯和风扇(n=11)或血管内冷却(n=8)诱导MH(33°C)。所有病例均有创性监测颅内压。结果:两组患者的年龄、性别、头颅CT表现、意识水平和治疗时间相似;美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分(MH和CE分别为20[范围,18至22]和17[范围,16至18])存在显著差异,但在对失语症进行NIHSS评分校正时不存在显著差异(MH和CE分别为17[范围,15至19]和17[范围,16至18])。CE和MH的死亡率分别为12%和47%;1例接受MH治疗的患者死于治疗并发症(败血症),3例死于复温期间发生的颅内压危象。机械通气时间和神经系统重症监护病房住院时间无显著差异,但儿茶酚胺应用时间和儿茶酚胺最大剂量在MH组显著较高。结论:在严重缺血性卒中患者中,与MH相比,CE的死亡率和并发症发生率更低。然而,这两种治疗方式都与强化医学治疗和延长神经重症监护病房的住院时间有关。

Background and Purpose— The purpose of this study was to investigate renal function as a long-term predictor of mortality in patients hospitalized for acute stroke. Methods— This was a cohort study done in a Scottish tertiary teaching hospital. Participants included 2042 (993 male) unselected consecutive stroke patients (mean age, 73 years) admitted to hospital within 48 hours of stroke between1988 and 1994. Follow-up was up to 7 years. Main outcome measure was all-cause mortality. Results— The total number of deaths at the end of follow-up was 1026. Most subjects (1512) had creatinine <124 &mgr;mol/L. The mean calculated creatinine clearance was 54.8 mL/min (SD, 23 mL/min). Renal function indexes were analyzed by quartiles with Cox proportional-hazards model. Stroke survivors had higher calculated creatinine clearance and lower serum creatinine, urea, and ratios of urea to creatinine. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥51.27 mL/min significantly predicted better long-term survival in these stroke patients even after adjustment for confounders (age, neurological score, ischemic heart disease, hypertension, smoking, and diuretic use). Similarly, creatinine ≥119 &mgr;mol/L “relative risk (RR), 1.59; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.32 to 1.92”, urea 6.8 to 8.9 mmol/L (RR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.65) or ≥9 mmol/L (RR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.42 to 2.13), and ratio of urea to creatinine ≥0.08573 mmol/&mgr;mol (RR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.50) remained significant predictors of mortality after adjustment for confounders. Conclusions— After acute stroke, patients with reduced admission calculated creatinine clearance, raised serum creatinine and urea concentrations (even within conventional reference intervals), and raised ratio of urea to creatinine had a higher mortality risk. This finding may be used to stratify risk and target interventions, eg, the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
背景和目的:本研究的目的是研究肾功能作为急性脑卒中住院患者死亡率的长期预测因子。方法:这是一项在苏格兰三级教学医院进行的队列研究。参与者包括2042名(993名男性)未选择的连续中风患者(平均年龄73岁),在1988年至1994年间中风后48小时内入院。随访时间长达7年。主要结局指标为全因死亡率。结果-随访结束时总死亡人数为1026人。大多数受试者(1512人)肌酐<124 μ mol/L。平均计算肌酐清除率为54.8 mL/min (SD, 23 mL/min)。采用Cox比例风险模型对肾功能指标进行四分位数分析。中风幸存者有较高的计算肌酐清除率和较低的血清肌酐、尿素和尿素/肌酐比值。计算出的肌酐清除率≥51.27 mL/min,即使在校正混杂因素(年龄、神经系统评分、缺血性心脏病、高血压、吸烟和利尿剂使用)后,也能显著预测这些脑卒中患者更好的长期生存。同样,肌酐≥119 mol/L的相对危险度(RR)为1.59;95%置信区间(CI) 1.32 ~ 1.92”,尿素6.8 ~ 8.9 mmol/L (RR, 1.34;95% CI, 1.09 ~ 1.65)或≥9 mmol/L (RR, 1.74;95% CI, 1.42 ~ 2.13),尿素/肌酐比值≥0.08573 mmol/&mgr;mol (RR, 1.24;校正混杂因素后,95% CI(1.03 - 1.50)仍然是死亡率的重要预测因子。结论:急性脑卒中后,入院人数减少的患者计算肌酐清除率,血清肌酐和尿素浓度升高(即使在常规参考区间内),尿素/肌酐比值升高,死亡风险较高。这一发现可用于风险分层和目标干预,例如,血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂的使用。

Background and Purpose— We encountered several patients with childhood onset of moyamoya disease in whom the ipsilateral anterior and posterior circulations were predominantly involved. This study investigated whether this is an angiographic characteristic of this disease. Methods— We evaluated steno-occlusive lesions on angiograms of 85 patients with pediatric onset of moyamoya disease, using two 4-stage angiographic classification scales for the internal carotid artery and posterior cerebral artery systems (ICA and PCA staging, respectively) and determined whether lesions with more advanced ICA and PCA stages were on ipsilateral sides. Results— When positive laterality was defined as the presence of a difference by ≥1 stage between the stages on both sides, lateralities in the ICA stages and in the PCA stages were present in 40 (47%) and 27 patients (32%), respectively. Lesions with more advanced ICA and PCA stages were on the same side, with significant probability (P =0.024, Fisher’s exact test). Lateralities in both ICA and PCA lesions were found in 17 patients. In 14 (82%) of the 17 patients, the more advanced side of ICA lesions was the same as that of PCA lesions, while it was contralateral in 3 patients (18%). Conclusions— In pediatric-onset moyamoya disease, asymmetrical involvement of bilateral ICAs and PCAs was common, and the ipsilateral ICA and PCA tended to be predominantly involved.
背景和目的-我们遇到了几例儿童期发病的烟雾病患者,其中同侧前循环和后循环主要受累。本研究探讨了这是否是该疾病的血管造影特征。方法:采用颈内动脉和脑后动脉系统的两种4期血管造影分级量表(分别为ICA和PCA分期)评估85例小儿烟雾病患者血管造影上的狭窄闭塞病变,并确定ICA和PCA分期较晚期的病变是否在同侧。结果-当侧侧性阳性定义为两期之间存在≥1期差异时,分别有40例(47%)和27例(32%)患者出现ICA期和PCA期的侧侧性。ICA和PCA分期较晚期的病变位于同侧,具有显著的概率(P =0.024, Fisher精确检验)。17例ICA和PCA病变均出现侧侧。17例患者中,14例(82%)的ICA病变较晚期侧与PCA病变相同,3例(18%)的ICA病变较晚期侧为对侧。结论:在儿童发病的烟雾病中,双侧ICA和PCA的不对称受累是常见的,同侧ICA和PCA往往主要受累。

Background and Purpose— Excitotoxic activation of glutamate receptors is currently thought to play a pivotal role in delayed neuronal death (DND) of highly vulnerable CA1 neurons in the gerbil hippocampus after transient global ischemia. Postischemic degeneration of these neurons can be prevented by “preconditioning” with a short sublethal ischemic stimulus. The present study was designed to test whether ischemic preconditioning is associated with specific alterations of ligand binding to excitatory glutamate and/or inhibitory &ggr;-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptors compared with ischemia severe enough to induce DND. Methods— With the use of quantitative receptor autoradiography, postischemic ligand binding of [3H]MK-801 and [3H]&agr;-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) to excitatory N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) and AMPA receptors as well as [3H]muscimol to inhibitory GABAA receptors in hippocampal subfields CA1, CA3, and the dentate gyrus were analyzed in 2 experimental paradigms. Gerbils were subjected to (1) a 5-minute ischemic period resulting in DND of CA1 neurons and (2) a 2.5-minute period of ischemia mediating tolerance induction. Results— [3H]MK-801 and [3H]AMPA binding values to excitatory NMDA and AMPA receptors showed a delayed decrease in relatively ischemia-resistant CA3 and dentate gyrus despite maintained neuronal cell density. [3H]Muscimol binding to GABAA receptors in CA1 neurons was transiently but significantly increased after preconditioning but not after global ischemia with consecutive neuronal death. Conclusions— Downregulation of ligand binding to glutamate receptors in relatively ischemia-resistant CA3 and dentate gyrus neurons destined to survive suggests marked synaptic reorganization processes despite maintained structural integrity. More importantly, upregulation of binding to inhibitory GABAA receptors in the hippocampus indicates a relative shift between inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission that we suggest may participate in endogenous postischemic neuroprotection.
背景与目的-目前认为谷氨酸受体的兴奋毒性激活在沙鼠海马短暂性全脑缺血后高度易感的CA1神经元的延迟性神经元死亡(DND)中起关键作用。这些神经元的脑缺血后变性可以通过短时间亚致死性缺血刺激的“预处理”来预防。本研究旨在测试缺血预处理是否与与兴奋性谷氨酸和/或抑制性&ggr;-氨基丁酸(GABA)A受体结合的配体特异性改变有关,而缺血严重到足以诱导DND。方法:采用定量受体放射自成像技术,在两种实验模式下分析[3H]MK-801和[3H]&agr;-氨基-3-羟基-5-甲基-4-异唑丙酸(AMPA)与兴奋性n -甲基-d-天冬氨酸(NMDA)和AMPA受体以及[3H]muscimol与抑制性GABAA受体在海马CA1、CA3亚区和齿状回的配体结合。沙鼠经历(1)5分钟缺血导致CA1神经元DND,(2) 2.5分钟缺血介导耐受诱导。结果- [3H]MK-801和[3H]AMPA与兴奋性NMDA和AMPA受体的结合值显示,尽管神经元细胞密度保持不变,但相对缺血抵抗性CA3和齿状回的延迟下降。[3H] CA1神经元中Muscimol与GABAA受体的结合在预处理后短暂但显著增加,而在全脑缺血并连续神经元死亡后则没有增加。结论:在相对耐缺血的CA3和齿状回神经元中,与谷氨酸受体结合的配体下调表明,尽管保持了结构完整性,但突触重组过程仍显着。更重要的是,海马与抑制性GABAA受体结合的上调表明抑制性和兴奋性神经传递之间的相对转变,我们认为这可能参与内源性缺血后神经保护。
