Background and Purpose— Several studies have reported on the correlation of ultrasonic carotid plaque morphology, cerebrovascular symptoms, and intraplaque hemorrhage. This study correlates ultrasonic carotid plaque morphology with the degree of carotid stenosis. Methods— Carotid arteries (n=2460) were examined by using color duplex ultrasound during a 1-year period. Carotid stenoses were classified into <50%, 50% to <60%, 60% to <70%, and >70% to 99%. Ultrasonic plaque morphology was characterized as either heterogeneous (mixed hyperechoic, hypoechoic, and isoechoic) or homogeneous. Results— Heterogeneous plaques were noted in 138 of 794 arteries with <50% stenosis, in 191 of 564 arteries with 50% to <60% stenosis, in 301 of 487 arteries with 60% to <70% stenosis, and in 496 of 615 arteries with 70% to 99% stenosis. The higher the degree of stenosis, the more likely it is to be associated with heterogeneous plaques. Heterogeneous plaques were present in 59% of the arteries with ≥50% stenoses versus 17% of the arteries with <50% stenoses, in 72% of the arteries with ≥60% stenoses versus 24% of the arteries with <60% stenosis, and in 80% of the arteries with ≥70% stenoses versus 34% of the arteries with <70% stenoses (P <0.0001 and odds ratios of 6.9, 8.1, and 8.0, respectively). Heterogeneous plaques were associated with an incidence of symptoms that was higher than that for homogeneous plaques for all grades of stenoses; percentages were, respectively, as follows: 68% versus 16% for <50% stenosis; 76% versus 21% for 50% to <60% stenosis; 79% versus 23% for 60% to <70% stenosis, and 86% versus 31% for ≥70% to 99% stenosis (P <0.0001 and odds ratios of 8.9, 11.9, 12.6, and 13.7, respectively). Heterogeneity of plaques was more positively correlated with symptoms than with any degree of stenosis (regardless of plaque structure). Eighty percent of all heterogeneous plaques were symptomatic versus 58% for all stenoses ≥50%, 68% for all stenoses ≥60%, and 75% for all stenoses ≥70% (P <0.0001, P <0.0001, and P =0.02, respectively). Conclusions— The higher the degree of carotid stenosis, the more likely it is to be associated with ultrasonic heterogeneous plaque and cerebrovascular symptoms. Heterogeneity of the plaque was more positively correlated with symptoms than with any degree of stenosis. These findings suggest that plaque heterogeneity should be considered in selecting patients for carotid endarterectomy.
背景和目的:一些研究报道了超声颈动脉斑块形态、脑血管症状和斑块内出血的相关性。本研究将超声颈动脉斑块形态与颈动脉狭窄程度联系起来。方法:对2460例患者进行1年的颈动脉彩超检查。颈动脉狭窄分为70% ~ 99%。超声斑块形态表现为异质性(混合高回声、低回声和等回声)或均匀性。结果:794条动脉狭窄程度<50%的有138条,564条动脉狭窄程度50%至<60%的有191条,487条动脉狭窄程度60%至<70%的有301条,615条动脉狭窄程度70%至99%的有496条存在异质斑块。狭窄程度越高,越可能与异质斑块相关。59%的狭窄程度≥50%的动脉和17%的狭窄程度<50%的动脉存在异质斑块,72%的狭窄程度≥60%的动脉和24%的狭窄程度<60%的动脉存在异质斑块,80%的狭窄程度≥70%的动脉和34%的狭窄程度<70%的动脉存在异质斑块(P <0.0001,优势比分别为6.9、8.1和8.0)。对于所有级别的狭窄,非均匀斑块与症状发生率相关,均高于均质斑块;百分比分别如下:68% vs <50%狭窄的16%;50%至<60%狭窄者为76%,而狭窄者为21%;60%至<70%狭窄者为79%对23%,≥70%至99%狭窄者为86%对31% (P <0.0001,比值比分别为8.9、11.9、12.6和13.7)。斑块的异质性与症状的正相关性大于与任何程度的狭窄(无论斑块结构如何)的正相关性。80%的异质斑块有症状,所有狭窄≥50%为58%,所有狭窄≥60%为68%,所有狭窄≥70%为75% (P <0.0001, P <0.0001, P =0.02)。结论-颈动脉狭窄程度越高,越可能与超声异质斑块和脑血管症状相关。斑块的异质性与症状的正相关性大于与任何程度的狭窄的正相关性。这些发现提示在选择颈动脉内膜切除术患者时应考虑斑块异质性。

Background and Purpose— The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between tracheostomies, enteral feeding tubes, and indwelling urinary catheters and functional outcome measures, incidence of medical complications, and resource use in an inpatient stroke rehabilitation program. Methods— A cohort of 1553 patients consecutively admitted for inpatient stroke rehabilitation was studied. Demographic and stroke characteristics, impairment (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) and disability level (Functional Independence Measure [FIM]), preexisting medical conditions, and the presence of tracheostomies, enteral feeding tubes, and indwelling urinary catheters were recorded at admission. The occurrence of medical complications during rehabilitation, discharge disability level, length of rehabilitation stay, and rehabilitation hospital charges were recorded at discharge. Results— Compared with patients with no medical tubes, patients with 3 medical tubes had significantly higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores, lower admission and discharge FIM scores, reduced FIM efficiency scores (average FIM score change per day), and twice the number of medical complications. Patients with 3 medical tubes stayed 28 days longer in acute hospitalization and 20 days longer in rehabilitation compared with patients with no medical tubes. The presence of even a single medical tube was associated with longer length of stay, more medical complications during rehabilitation, and greater disability level at discharge. Conclusions— The presence of ≥1 medical tubes is associated with more severe and disabling strokes, an increased number of medical complications, longer acute and rehabilitation hospitalizations, and greater resource use.
背景和目的:本研究的目的是探讨住院卒中康复项目中气管切开术、肠内喂养管和留置导尿管与功能结局测量、医疗并发症发生率和资源利用之间的关系。方法:对1553例连续住院脑卒中康复患者进行队列研究。入院时记录人口统计学和卒中特征、损伤(美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表)和残疾水平(功能独立性量表[FIM])、既往医疗状况、气管造口术、肠内喂养管和留置导尿管的存在。出院时记录康复期间医疗并发症的发生情况、出院时残疾程度、康复住院时间和康复医院收费。结果-与未使用医疗管的患者相比,使用3根医疗管的患者的美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表评分明显更高,入院和出院FIM评分较低,FIM效率评分(平均每天FIM评分变化)降低,医疗并发症数量增加一倍。与不使用医用导管的患者相比,使用3根医用导管的患者急性住院时间延长28天,康复时间延长20天。即使只有一根医疗管,也会导致住院时间更长,康复期间出现更多的医疗并发症,出院时残疾程度更高。结论:≥1根医用导管的存在与更严重和致残的中风、更多的医疗并发症、更长的急性和康复住院以及更多的资源使用相关。

Background and Purpose— The function-related group (FRG) classification is based on functional assessment and has been assumed to encompass the effects of different patterns and severity of neurological impairments. This assumption may not be correct. It has been proposed as a means of comparing rehabilitation outcome across institutions. If neurological impairments significantly affect FRG outcome, then higher FRG outcome scores may reflect selection bias favoring patients with fewer neurological impairments rather than better quality of rehabilitation care. The goal of this study was to assess the influence of motor, somatosensory, and hemianopic visual impairments on FRG outcomes after stroke. Methods— All 288 consecutive stroke patients discharged in 1999 from an acute rehabilitation hospital were assigned to 1 of 5 FRGs on the basis of their Functional Independence Measure (FIM) mobility subscore and age. Each FRG was also stratified into 1 of 4 cohorts on the basis of the presence or absence of key neurological impairments: motor impairment only (M), motor plus either somatosensory or hemianopic visual impairment (MS/MV), motor plus somatosensory plus hemianopic visual impairment (MSV), and other combinations of impairments. FIM scores were available every 10 days for all patients from admission to discharge. The effect of impairment group on outcome was assessed within each FRG category through repeated-measures analysis of variance to assess differences in serial FIM scores across the 4 impairment groups. The distribution of each of the 4 impairment groups across the 5 FRGs was assessed with &khgr;2 analysis. Results— The numbers of patients in each of the 5 FRGs from the lowest level, FRG-11, to the highest, FRG-15, were as follows: 78 (27%), 47 (16%), 75 (26%), 55 (19%), and 33 (11%). Different neurological impairments were associated with significantly different mean±SD discharge FIM scores as follows: for FRG-11, MSV=63±16, MS/MV=68±19, and M=81±13 (P =0.04); for FRG-12, MSV=47±14, MS/MV=61±12, and M=75±11 (P =0.01); and for FRG-13, MSV=79±20, MS/MV=85±19, and M=96±10 (P <0.02). For FRG-14 and FRG-15, those with M impairments had the highest and those with MSV impairments had the lowest discharge FIM scores, but the differences did not reach statistical significance. The &khgr;2 analysis showed a highly significant difference in representation of MSV impairments across FRG-11 through FRG-15 as follows: 35 of 78 (45%), 20 of 47 (43%), 11 of 74 (15%), 4 of 55 (7%), and 2 of 33 (6%). For patients classified as having an M deficit only or other impairment, the results were as follows: 19 of 78 (24%), 15 of 47 (32%), 41 of 75 (55%), 41 of 55 (75%), and 27of 33 (82%) (&khgr;2 analysis=78.7, P <0.0001). Conclusions— The presence of motor, somatosensory, and hemianopic visual impairment significantly affects FRG outcome and should be included in future outcome assessment tools. Comparisons of FIM change and efficiency scores across institutio
背景和目的-功能相关组(FRG)分类是基于功能评估,并被认为包括不同模式和严重程度的神经损伤的影响。这种假设可能不正确。它被提议作为比较各机构康复结果的一种手段。如果神经损伤显著影响FRG结果,那么较高的FRG结果评分可能反映了选择偏向于神经损伤较少的患者,而不是更好的康复护理质量。本研究的目的是评估运动、体感和偏视障碍对脑卒中后FRG结果的影响。方法:1999年从一家急性康复医院连续出院的288例脑卒中患者,根据他们的功能独立测量(FIM)活动能力评分和年龄,被分配到5个frg中的1个。每个FRG还根据主要神经损伤的存在与否分为4个队列中的1个:仅运动损伤(M),运动加体感或偏视损伤(MS/MV),运动加体感加偏视损伤(MSV),以及其他损伤的组合。所有患者从入院到出院每10天获得一次FIM评分。在每个FRG类别中,通过重复测量方差分析来评估损伤组对结果的影响,以评估4个损伤组之间串行FIM评分的差异。使用&khgr;2分析评估4个损伤组在5个frg中的分布。结果-从最低水平FRG-11到最高水平FRG-15,每个frg的患者数量如下:78(27%),47(16%),75(26%),55(19%)和33(11%)。不同神经功能障碍患者FIM平均±SD评分差异有统计学意义:FRG-11组MSV=63±16,MS/MV=68±19,M=81±13 (P =0.04);FRG-12的MSV=47±14,MS/MV=61±12,M=75±11 (P =0.01);FRG-13的MSV=79±20,MS/MV=85±19,M=96±10 (P <0.02)。FRG-14和FRG-15的出院FIM评分中,M损伤组最高,MSV损伤组最低,但差异无统计学意义。[khgr;2]分析显示,在FRG-11至FRG-15中,MSV损伤的代表性差异非常显著:78人中有35人(45%),47人中有20人(43%),74人中有11人(15%),55人中有4人(7%),33人中有2人(6%)。对于仅存在M缺陷或其他损害的患者,结果如下:78例中有19例(24%),47例中有15例(32%),75例中有41例(55%),55例中有41例(75%),33例中有27例(82%)(&khgr;2分析=78.7,P <0.0001)。结论:运动、体感和偏视障碍的存在显著影响FRG结果,应纳入未来的结果评估工具。不同机构间FIM变化和效率评分的比较可能会受到推荐和选择标准的影响,这些标准倾向于同样功能失调但神经功能受损程度较轻的个体。

Background and Purpose— The measurement of markers of inflammation or thrombosis has been proposed as a method to improve the prediction of risk in patients with vascular disease. We evaluated the usefulness of these markers as predictors of cardiovascular events in ischemic stroke patients. Methods— We analyzed levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and D-dimer within the first 24 hours after stroke onset in 473 first-ever ischemic stroke patients and determined the cumulative survival curves free of cardiovascular events in relation to the level of each of these markers according to the Kaplan-Meier method. We adjusted for possible confounding variables using a multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model. Results— Patients in the highest tertiles of D-dimer, fibrinogen, and CRP were associated with an excess risk of new cardiovascular events of 36% (P =0.0134), 63% (P <0.0001), and 72% (P <0.0001), respectively, compared with patients in the lowest tertile. The patients in the highest tertile of CRP had 4 times the risk (hazard ratio, 4.04;P <0.0001) of a new cardiovascular event. Smoking, age, sex, and body mass index did not modify risk, and risk was independent of other confounding variables and of D-dimer and fibrinogen levels. The use of ticlopidine was associated with a significant risk reduction among patients with lower (86%, P =0.0159) and middle (69%, P <0.0001) levels of CRP, whereas a nonsignificant excess risk (27%, P =0.3896) was evident among those with the highest levels. Conclusions— Elevated levels of CRP, more than of D-dimer and fibrinogen, are related to the risk of new cardiovascular events after ischemic stroke. The efficacy of antiplatelet therapy in secondary prevention appears to be directly related to level of inflammatory and thrombotic markers.
背景与目的-炎症或血栓标志物的测量已被提出作为一种方法,以提高对血管疾病患者的风险预测。我们评估了这些标志物作为缺血性脑卒中患者心血管事件预测因子的有效性。方法:我们分析了473例首次缺血性中风患者中风后24小时内c反应蛋白(CRP)、纤维蛋白原和d -二聚体的水平,并根据Kaplan-Meier方法确定了与这些标志物水平相关的无心血管事件的累积生存曲线。我们使用多变量Cox比例风险模型调整了可能的混杂变量。结果-d -二聚体、纤维蛋白原和CRP水平最高的患者与新发心血管事件的额外风险相关,分别为36% (P =0.0134)、63% (P <0.0001)和72% (P <0.0001)。CRP水平最高的患者发生新心血管事件的风险为4倍(危险比为4.04,P <0.0001)。吸烟、年龄、性别和体重指数对风险没有影响,风险与其他混杂变量以及d -二聚体和纤维蛋白原水平无关。在CRP水平较低(86%,P =0.0159)和中等(69%,P <0.0001)的患者中,使用噻氯匹定可显著降低风险,而在CRP水平较高的患者中,使用噻氯匹定可显著降低风险(27%,P =0.3896)。结论:与d -二聚体和纤维蛋白原相比,CRP水平升高与缺血性卒中后新发心血管事件的风险相关。抗血小板治疗在二级预防中的疗效似乎与炎症和血栓标志物的水平直接相关。

Smoking, age, sex, and body mass index did not modify risk, and risk was independent of other confounding variables and of D-dimer and fibrinogen levels. The use of ticlopidine was associated with a significant risk reduction among patients with lower (86%, P =0.0159) and middle (69%, P <0.0001) levels of CRP, whereas a nonsignificant excess risk (27%, P =0.3896) was evident among those with the highest levels. Conclusions— Elevated levels of CRP, more than of D-dimer and fibrinogen, are related to the risk of new cardiovascular events after ischemic stroke. The efficacy of antiplatelet therapy in secondary prevention appears to be directly related to level of inflammatory and thrombotic markers.","PeriodicalId":22274,"journal":{"name":"Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association","volume":"14 1","pages":"1763-1771"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78841462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background and Purpose— Rupture of cerebral aneurysm (CA) is the major cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Molecular mechanisms of this disease, however, remain unknown. To make possible genetic analysis of CA formation with genetically altered mice, we have successfully established a mouse model of saccular CA that recapitulates the essential features of human saccular CA. Methods— In C57black/6 male mice, various stages of CAs were experimentally induced at the right anterior cerebral artery–olfactory artery bifurcations by ligations of left common carotid arteries and posterior branches of bilateral renal arteries with high salt diet. Both light and electron microscopic studies were performed with the longitudinal sections of anterior cerebral artery–olfactory artery bifurcations. Results— In the treated group, various aneurysmal changes were detected in 14 of 18 mice. On the other hand, in the control group, no aneurysmal changes were found in 15 mice. In microscopic studies, aneurysmal changes were shown to include mainly fragmentation of internal elastic lamina, thinning of the smooth muscle cell layer, and degeneration of adventitial tissue, which were very similar to critical changes in human saccular CA. Conclusions— This mouse model of CA will be useful for studying the effects of complex determinants on CA formation and makes it possible to understand the pathogenesis of CA at the molecular level.
背景与目的-脑动脉瘤破裂是引起蛛网膜下腔出血的主要原因。然而,这种疾病的分子机制尚不清楚。为了对基因改造小鼠的CA形成进行遗传分析,我们成功地建立了一个概括人类囊性CA基本特征的囊性CA小鼠模型。方法-在C57black/6雄性小鼠中,通过高盐饮食结扎左颈总动脉和双侧肾动脉后支,实验性地在右侧大脑前动脉-嗅觉动脉分叉处诱导不同阶段的CA。对脑前动脉-嗅动脉分叉的纵切面进行了光镜和电镜观察。结果-在治疗组中,18只小鼠中有14只检测到各种动脉瘤改变。另一方面,在对照组中,15只小鼠未发现动脉瘤改变。在显微镜下的研究中,动脉瘤的改变主要包括内部弹性层的断裂、平滑肌细胞层的变薄和外膜组织的变性,这与人类囊状CA的关键变化非常相似。结论-这种小鼠CA模型将有助于研究复杂决定因素对CA形成的影响,并使人们有可能在分子水平上了解CA的发病机制。

Background and Purpose— The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of local intra-arterial thrombolysis (LIT) using urokinase in patients with acute stroke due to middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Methods— We analyzed clinical and radiological findings and functional outcome 3 months after LIT with urokinase of 100 consecutive patients. To measure outcome, the modified Rankin scale (mRs) score was used. Results— Angiography showed occlusion of the M1 segment of the MCA in 57 patients, of the M2 segment in 21, and of the M3 or M4 segment in 22. The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission was 14, and, on average, 236 minutes elapsed from symptom onset to LIT. Forty-seven patients (47%) had an excellent outcome (mRs score 0 to 1), 21 (21%) a good outcome (mRs score 2), and 22 (22%) a poor outcome (mRs score 3 to 5). Ten patients (10%) died. Excellent or good outcome (mRs score ≤2) was seen in 59% of patients with M1 or M2 and 95% of those with M3 or M4 MCA occlusions. Recanalization as seen on angiography was complete (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction [TIMI] grade 3) in 20% of patients and partial (TIMI grade 2) in 56% of patients. Age <60 years (P <0.05), low NIHSS score at admission (P <0.00001), and vessel recanalization (P =0.0004) were independently associated with excellent or good outcome and diabetes with poor outcome (P =0.002). Symptomatic cerebral hemorrhage occurred in 7 patients (7%). Conclusions— LIT with urokinase that is administered by a single organized stroke team is safe and can be as efficacious as thrombolysis has been in large multicenter clinical trials.
背景和目的:本研究的目的是评价尿激酶局部动脉内溶栓(LIT)治疗大脑中动脉(MCA)闭塞急性卒中患者的安全性和有效性。方法:我们分析了连续100例患者在尿激酶照射后3个月的临床、影像学表现和功能结果。结果采用改良Rankin量表(mRs)评分。结果:血管造影显示57例患者中动脉M1段闭塞,21例患者中动脉M2段闭塞,22例患者中动脉M3或M4段闭塞。入院时美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分中位数为14分,从症状发作到LIT平均时间为236分钟。47例(47%)患者预后良好(mRs评分0 - 1),21例(21%)预后良好(mRs评分2),22例(22%)预后较差(mRs评分3 - 5)。10例(10%)患者死亡。59%的M1或M2患者和95%的M3或M4 MCA闭塞患者的预后为优或良(mRs评分≤2)。血管造影显示20%的患者完全(TIMI 3级)再通,56%的患者部分(TIMI 2级)再通。年龄<60岁(P <0.05)、入院时NIHSS评分低(P <0.00001)、血管再通(P =0.0004)与优良转归、差转归糖尿病独立相关(P =0.002)。7例(7%)出现症状性脑出血。结论:尿激酶联合LIT治疗是安全的,其疗效与大型多中心临床试验中发现的溶栓治疗一样有效。

Background and Purpose— The objective of this study was to determine the clinical features, angiographic findings, and response to treatment with thrombolytic therapy in patients with ischemic stroke caused by acute occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery. Methods— This is a retrospective case series from a prospectively collected stroke database for patients with acute internal carotid occlusion presenting within 6 hours of stroke onset to evaluate safety, feasibility, and response to thrombolytic therapy. The University Hospital–based brain attack database was reviewed over a 5-year period. Demographics, clinical features, stroke mechanisms, severity, imaging findings, type of thrombolysis, treatment responses, mortality, and long-term outcome using modified Rankin Scale and Barthel Index were determined. The short-term outcome was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Acute thrombolytic therapy was administered using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator or urokinase given intra-arterially or in combination with intravenous (IV) routes. Results— Two hundred seven patients treated with thrombolysis between 1995 and 2000 were reviewed, and of these, 101 were studied with cerebral angiography. Eighteen patients were identified with acute ischemic stroke and ipsilateral occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery. Time to treatment was the most powerful predictor of response to thrombolytic therapy (P <0.001). The response to therapy also correlated well with the severity of the initial clinical deficit as judged by the NIHSS (P <0.001). There was no difference in recanalization rate, symptomatic hemorrhage, and NIHSS for IV/intra-arterial (IA) versus IA alone (P =NS). Complete angiographic recanalization was accomplished in 80% of those who received combined IV/IA thrombolysis and in 62% of those who received IA therapy (P =NS). Those with distal occlusions extending to the middle and anterior cerebral arteries were the least likely to respond to thrombolysis. Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage occurred in 20% of the patients receiving IV/IA therapy, and in 15% of the IA only (P =NS). At 24 hours, the NIHSS dropped by 3 points in the IA group and 4 points in the IV/IA group (P =NS). Mild disability with independence was found in 77% of the survivors at 3-month follow-up. The mortality rate was 50% in this group despite thrombolysis. Conclusions— Thrombolytic therapy using a combination of IV and IA routes and using the IA-only route may be effective in improving outcome for the patients suffering from occlusion of the distal internal carotid artery. Shorter intervals between onset and treatment seem to be correlated with higher rate of recanalization and improved outcome.
背景和目的:本研究的目的是确定急性颈内动脉远端闭塞引起的缺血性卒中患者的临床特征、血管造影表现和溶栓治疗的反应。方法:这是一个前瞻性收集的卒中数据库中急性颈内动脉闭塞患者在卒中发作6小时内出现的回顾性病例系列,以评估溶栓治疗的安全性、可行性和反应。以大学医院为基础的脑病数据库进行了为期5年的审查。统计数据、临床特征、卒中机制、严重程度、影像学表现、溶栓类型、治疗反应、死亡率和使用改良Rankin量表和Barthel指数的长期预后。使用美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评估短期结果。急性溶栓治疗采用重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂或尿激酶动脉内或联合静脉(IV)途径。结果-回顾了1995年至2000年间接受溶栓治疗的277例患者,其中101例进行了脑血管造影研究。18例患者被确定为急性缺血性卒中和同侧内颈动脉远端闭塞。治疗时间是对溶栓治疗反应最有效的预测因子(P <0.001)。对治疗的反应也与NIHSS判断的初始临床缺陷的严重程度密切相关(P <0.001)。静脉/动脉内(IA)与单独使用IA的再通率、症状性出血和NIHSS无差异(P =NS)。80%接受静脉/内溶栓联合治疗的患者和62%接受内溶栓治疗的患者完成了完全血管造影再通(P =NS)。那些远端闭塞延伸到大脑中动脉和前动脉的患者最不可能对溶栓有反应。20%接受IV/IA治疗的患者出现症状性脑出血,仅IA患者出现症状性脑出血的比例为15% (P =NS)。24 h时,IA组NIHSS下降3个点,IV/IA组下降4个点(P =NS)。在3个月的随访中,77%的幸存者发现有独立的轻度残疾。尽管有溶栓,该组的死亡率为50%。结论:静脉溶栓和内动脉溶栓联合应用以及仅应用内动脉溶栓可有效改善颈内动脉远端闭塞患者的预后。较短的发病和治疗间隔似乎与较高的再通率和改善的预后相关。

Background— We report the occurrence of fatal intracerebral hemorrhage associated with using a combination of antithrombotic agents, including abciximab, in patients undergoing neurointerventional procedures. Summary of Report— Seven patients (average age 60, range 46 to 73 years) developed fatal intracerebral hemorrhages associated with neurointerventional procedures and the use of intravenous abciximab. The procedures included angioplasty and stent placement in the cervical internal carotid artery (n=4), angioplasty of the intracranial internal carotid artery (n=1), and angioplasty of the middle cerebral artery (n=2). Clinical deterioration was observed within 1 hour of the procedure in 5 patients and 7 and 8 hours after the procedure, respectively, in the remaining 2 patients. All patients had received heparin and clopidogrel; 6 had also received aspirin. Conclusions— Intracerebral hemorrhages can occur after neurointerventional procedures in patients with recent cerebral ischemic events, particularly when aggressive antithrombotic treatment is used.

Background and Purpose— Based on the hypothesis of glutamate-induced neurotoxicity (excitotoxicity) in cerebral ischemia, this study examined the efficacy and tolerability of memantine, an uncompetitive N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist, in the treatment of mild to moderate vascular dementia. Methods— In this multicenter, 28-week trial carried out in France, 321 patients received 10 mg/d memantine or placebo twice a day; 288 patients were valid for intent-to-treat analysis. Patients had to meet the criteria for probable vascular dementia and have a Mini-Mental State (MMSE) score between 12 and 20 at inclusion. The 2 primary end points were the cognitive subscale of the Alzheimers Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-cog) and the global Clinician’s Interview Based Impression of Change (CIBIC-plus). Results— After 28 weeks, the mean ADAS-cog scores were significantly improved relative to placebo. In the intention-to-treat population, the memantine group mean score had gained an average of 0.4 points, whereas the placebo group mean score had declined by 1.6 points, ie, a difference of 2.0 points (95% confidence interval, 0.49 to 3.60). The response rate for CIBIC-plus, defined as improved or stable, was 60% with memantine compared with 52% with placebo (P =0.227, intention to treat). Among the secondary efficacy parameters, which were analyzed in the per-protocol subset, MMSE was significantly improved with memantine compared with deterioration with placebo (P =0.003). The Gottfries-Brane-Steen Scale intellectual function subscore and the Nurses’ Observation Scale for Geriatric Patients disturbing behavior dimension also showed differences in favor of memantine (P =0.04 and P =0.07, respectively). Memantine was well tolerated with a frequency of adverse events comparable to placebo. Conclusions— In patients with mild to moderate vascular dementia, memantine 20 mg/d improved cognition consistently across different cognitive scales, with at least no deterioration in global functioning and behavior. It was devoid of concerning side effects.
背景和目的:基于脑缺血中谷氨酸诱导的神经毒性(兴奋性毒性)的假设,本研究考察了美金刚(一种非竞争性n -甲基-d-天冬氨酸拮抗剂)治疗轻中度血管性痴呆的疗效和耐受性。方法:在法国进行的这项为期28周的多中心试验中,321名患者每天两次接受10mg /d美金刚或安慰剂治疗;288例患者对意向治疗分析有效。患者必须符合可能的血管性痴呆的标准,并且在纳入时具有最小精神状态(MMSE)评分在12到20之间。两个主要终点是阿尔茨海默病评估量表(ADAS-cog)的认知子量表和全球临床医生访谈基础变化印象量表(CIBIC-plus)。结果:28周后,ADAS-cog平均评分较安慰剂显著改善。在意向治疗人群中,美金刚组平均得分平均提高了0.4分,而安慰剂组平均得分下降了1.6分,即差异为2.0分(95%置信区间,0.49至3.60)。对于CIBIC-plus的缓解率,定义为改善或稳定,美金刚组为60%,安慰剂组为52% (P =0.227,治疗意向)。在每个方案子集中分析的次要疗效参数中,与安慰剂相比,美金刚组的MMSE显著改善(P =0.003)。在Gottfries-Brane-Steen量表智力功能分项得分和老年患者护士观察量表干扰行为维度上,均存在支持美金刚的差异(P =0.04和P =0.07)。美金刚耐受性良好,不良事件发生频率与安慰剂相当。结论:在轻度至中度血管性痴呆患者中,美金刚20mg /d在不同的认知尺度上持续改善认知,至少没有整体功能和行为的恶化。它没有令人担忧的副作用。

Methods— In this multicenter, 28-week trial carried out in France, 321 patients received 10 mg/d memantine or placebo twice a day; 288 patients were valid for intent-to-treat analysis. Patients had to meet the criteria for probable vascular dementia and have a Mini-Mental State (MMSE) score between 12 and 20 at inclusion. The 2 primary end points were the cognitive subscale of the Alzheimers Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-cog) and the global Clinician’s Interview Based Impression of Change (CIBIC-plus). Results— After 28 weeks, the mean ADAS-cog scores were significantly improved relative to placebo. In the intention-to-treat population, the memantine group mean score had gained an average of 0.4 points, whereas the placebo group mean score had declined by 1.6 points, ie, a difference of 2.0 points (95% confidence interval, 0.49 to 3.60). The response rate for CIBIC-plus, defined as improved or stable, was 60% with memantine compared with 52% with placebo (P =0.227, intention to treat). Among the secondary efficacy parameters, which were analyzed in the per-protocol subset, MMSE was significantly improved with memantine compared with deterioration with placebo (P =0.003). The Gottfries-Brane-Steen Scale intellectual function subscore and the Nurses’ Observation Scale for Geriatric Patients disturbing behavior dimension also showed differences in favor of memantine (P =0.04 and P =0.07, respectively).

Background and Purpose— The present study prospectively evaluated relationships among baseline characteristics, cerebral hemodynamics, and outcome of patients with symptomatic major cerebral artery occlusion, by quantitative measurement of cerebral blood flow using xenon-133 (133Xe) inhalation and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Methods— Regional cerebrovascular reactivity (rCVR) to acetazolamide was calculated at entry to the study using 133Xe SPECT. Seventy consecutive patients aged less than 70 years with unilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion were divided into 2 groups: normal or reduced rCVR, and prospectively followed up for a period of 24 months. Results— During the follow-up period, recurrent strokes occurred in 8 of the 23 patients with reduced rCVR at entry and in 3 of 47 patients with normal rCVR. Cumulative recurrence-free survival rates in all patients, and in each subgroup of patients with ICA or MCA occlusion and reduced rCVR on entry, were significantly lower than in those with normal rCVR (P =0.0030, P =0.0404, and P =0.0310, respectively; Kaplan-Meier analysis). Among the factors considered, only lower rCVR and resting regional cerebral blood flow values were significantly associated with the risk of stroke recurrence (P =0.0019 and P =0.0080, respectively; Cox regression multivariate analysis). Conclusions— The present study demonstrated that reduced rCVR to acetazolamide as determined by 133Xe SPECT is significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke recurrence in patients with symptomatic MCA or ICA occlusion.
背景和目的:本研究通过使用氙-133 (133Xe)吸入和单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)定量测量脑血流,前瞻性地评估了有症状的大脑大动脉闭塞患者的基线特征、脑血流动力学和预后之间的关系。方法:采用133Xe SPECT计算入组时对乙酰唑胺的局部脑血管反应性(rCVR)。将70例年龄小于70岁的单侧颈内动脉(ICA)或大脑中动脉(MCA)闭塞患者连续分为正常或降低rCVR两组,前瞻性随访24个月。结果:在随访期间,23例入组时rCVR降低的患者中有8例发生卒中复发,47例rCVR正常的患者中有3例发生卒中复发。所有患者以及入组时ICA或MCA闭塞且rCVR降低的患者的累积无复发生存率均显著低于rCVR正常的患者(P =0.0030, P =0.0404和P =0.0310;kaplan meier分析)。在考虑的因素中,只有较低的rCVR和静息区域脑血流量值与卒中复发风险显著相关(P =0.0019和P =0.0080;Cox回归多变量分析)。结论:目前的研究表明,通过133Xe SPECT检测,降低rCVR至乙酰唑胺与症状性MCA或ICA闭塞患者卒中复发风险增加显著相关。
