Perihematomal edema (PHE) occurs within hours after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), leading to secondary injury manifested by impaired blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and destruction of adjacent tissue. To dissect the mechanisms underlying PHE formation, we profiled human and mouse perihematomal tissues and identified natural killer (NK) cells as the predominant immune cell subset that outnumbers other infiltrating immune cell types during early stages of ICH. Unbiased clustering of single-c ...[more]

Project description:Background and purposePerihematomal edema (PHE) is a marker of secondary injury in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). PHE measurement on computed tomography (CT) is challenging, and the principles used to detect PHE have not been described fully. We developed a systematic approach for CT-based measurement of PHE.MethodsTwo independent raters measured PHE volumes on baseline and 24-hour post-ICH CT scans of 20 primary supratentorial ICH subjects. Boundaries were outlined with an edge-detection tool and adjusted after inspection of the 3 orthogonal planes. PHE was delineated with the additional principle that it should be (a) more hypodense than the corresponding area in the contralateral hemisphere and (b) most hypodense immediately surrounding the hemorrhage. We examined intra- and interrater reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots for interrater consistency. CT-based PHE was also compared using magnetic resonance imaging-based PHE detection for 18 subjects.ResultsMedian PHE volumes were 22.7 cc at baseline and 20.4 cc at 24 hours post-ICH. There were no statistically significant differences in PHE measurements between raters. Interrater and intrarater reliability for PHE were excellent. At baseline and 24 hours, interrater intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.98 (0.96-1.00) and 0.98 (0.97-1.00); intrarater intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.99 (0.99-1.00) and 0.99 (0.98-1.00). Bland-Altman analysis showed the bias for PHE measurements at baseline and 24 hours, -0.5 cc (SD, 5.4) and -3.2 cc (SD, 5.0), was acceptably small. PHE volumes determined by CT and magnetic resonance imaging were similar (23.9±16.9 cc versus 23.9±16.0 cc, R(2) = 0.98, P<0.0001).ConclusionsOur method measures PHE with excellent reliability at baseline and 24 hours post-ICH.

Project description:Objective: To explore the relationship between miR-7-5p and brain edema after intracerebral hemorrhage and the role of butylphthalide (NBP) in brain edema after intracerebral hemorrhage. Method: Routine blood testing, C-reactive protein results, and computed tomography data were collected 1, 7, and 14 days after intracerebral hemorrhage in six patients. Levels of MMP-9, ZO-1, occludin, IL-6, TNF-α, and miR-7-5p were detected in each patient's serum. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation, intracerebral hemorrhage, and NBP treatment groups. Dry-wet weight was used to assess brain edema, and Evans blue staining was used to assess the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α, ZO-1 and occludin, PI3K, AKT, p-AKT, AQP4, and miR-7-5p were analyzed in the rat brains. Result: The blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on day 1 was associated with the area of brain edema on day 7. The expression of miR-7-5p decreased after intracerebral hemorrhage, and as a result, the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway was weakened. The decreased inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway resulted in an increase in AQP4 expression, which further aggravated brain edema. NBP can upregulate the expression of miR-7-5p, affecting these pathways to reduce brain edema. Conclusion: After intracerebral hemorrhage, miR-7-5p expression in brain tissue is reduced, which may increase the expression of AQP4 by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway. NBP can inhibit this process and reduce brain edema.

Project description:Although preclinical studies have shown inflammation to mediate perihematomal edema (PHE) after intracerebral hemorrhage, clinical data are lacking. Leukocyte count, often used to gauge serum inflammation, has been correlated with poor outcome but its relationship with PHE remains unknown. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that leukocyte count is associated with PHE growth.We included patients with intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to a tertiary-care stroke center between 2011 and 2015. The primary outcome was absolute PHE growth during 24 hours, calculated using semiautomated planimetry. Linear regression models were constructed to study the relationship between absolute and differential leukocyte counts (monocyte count and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio) and 24-hour PHE growth.A total of 153 patients were included. Median hematoma and PHE volumes at baseline were 14.4 (interquartile range, 6.3-36.3) and 14.0 (interquartile range, 5.9-27.8), respectively. In linear regression analysis adjusted for demographics and intracerebral hemorrhage characteristics, absolute leukocyte count was not associated with PHE growth (?, 0.07; standard error, 0.15; P=0.09). In secondary analyses, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was correlated with PHE growth (?, 0.22; standard error, 0.08; P=0.005).Higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is independently associated with PHE growth. This suggests that PHE growth can be predicted using differential leukocyte counts on admission.

Project description:Background and Purpose- Patients with active malignancy are at risk for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to characterize perihematomal edema (PHE) and hematoma volumes after spontaneous nontraumatic ICH in patients with cancer without central nervous system involvement. Methods- Patients with active malignancy who developed ICH were retrospectively identified through automated searches of institutional databases. Control patients were identified with ICH and without active cancer. Demographic and cancer-specific data were obtained by chart review. Hematoma and PHE volumes were determined using semiautomated methodology. Univariate and multivariate linear regression models were created to assess which variables were associated with hematoma and PHE expansion. Results- Patients with cancer (N=80) and controls (N=136) had similar demographics (all P>0.20), although hypertension was more prevalent among controls (P=0.004). Most patients with cancer had received recent chemotherapy (n=45, 56%) and had recurrence of malignancy (n=43, 54%). Patients with cancer were thrombocytopenic (median platelet count 90 000 [interquartile range, 17 500-211 500]), and most had undergone blood product transfusion (n=41, 51%), predominantly platelets (n=38, 48%). Thirty-day mortality was 36% (n=29). Patients with cancer had significantly increased PHE volumes (23.67 versus 8.61 mL; P=1.88×10-9) and PHE-to-ICH volume ratios (2.26 versus 0.99; P=2.20×10-16). In multivariate analyses, variables associated with PHE growth among patients with cancer were ICH volume (β=1.29 [95% CI, 1.58-1.30] P=1.30×10-5) and platelet transfusion (β=15.67 [95% CI, 3.61-27.74] P=0.014). Variables associated with 30-day mortality were ICH volume (odds ratio, 1.06 [95% CI, 1.03-1.10] P=6.76×10-5), PHE volume (odds ratio, 1.07 [95% CI, 1.04-1.09] P=7.40×10-6), PHE growth (odds ratio, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.01-1.10] P=0.01), and platelet transfusion (odds ratio, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.22-1.79] P=0.0001). Conclusions- Patients with active cancer who develop ICH have increased PHE volumes. PHE growth was independent of thrombocytopenia but associated with blood product transfusion. Thirty-day mortality was associated with PHE and ICH volumes and blood product transfusion.

Project description:Background and Purpose- Volumes of hemorrhage and perihematomal edema (PHE) are well-established biomarkers of primary and secondary injury, respectively, in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. An automated imaging pipeline capable of accurately and rapidly quantifying these biomarkers would facilitate large cohort studies evaluating underlying mechanisms of injury. Methods- Regions of hemorrhage and PHE were manually delineated on computed tomography scans of patients enrolled in 2 intracerebral hemorrhage studies. Manual ground-truth masks from the first cohort were used to train a fully convolutional neural network to segment images into hemorrhage and PHE. The primary outcome was automated-versus-human concordance in hemorrhage and PHE volumes. The secondary outcome was voxel-by-voxel overlap of segmentations, quantified by the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC). Algorithm performance was validated on 84 scans from the second study. Results- Two hundred twenty-four scans from 124 patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage were used for algorithm derivation. Median volumes were 18 mL (interquartile range, 8-43) for hemorrhage and 12 mL (interquartile range, 5-30) for PHE. Concordance was excellent (0.96) for automated quantification of hemorrhage and good (0.81) for PHE, with DSC of 0.90 (interquartile range, 0.85-0.93) and 0.54 (0.39-0.65), respectively. External validation confirmed algorithm accuracy for hemorrhage (concordance 0.98, DSC 0.90) and PHE (concordance 0.90, DSC 0.55). This was comparable with the consistency observed between 2 human raters (DSC 0.90 for hemorrhage, 0.57 for PHE). Conclusions- We have developed a deep learning-based imaging algorithm capable of accurately measuring hemorrhage and PHE volumes. Rapid and consistent automated biomarker quantification may accelerate powerful and precise studies of disease biology in large cohorts of intracerebral hemorrhage patients.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine whether jugular venous reflux (JVR) is associated with perihematomal edema (PHE) in individuals with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH within 72 h of symptom onset were enrolled. Baseline brain computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, with a follow-up CT examination at 12 ± 3 days after onset. Jugular venous color Doppler ultrasound was performed at 12 ± 3 days after onset to examine the JVR status. A total of 65 patients with ICH were enrolled. In logistic regression analysis, absolute PHE volume was significantly associated with JVR (OR, 5.46; 95% CI, 1.04-28.63; p = 0.044) and baseline hematoma volume (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.03-1.26; p = 0.009) within 72 h of onset. It was also correlated with JVR (OR, 15.32; 95% CI, 2.52-92.99; p = 0.003) and baseline hematoma volume (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.04-1.24; p = 0.006) at 12 ± 3 days after onset. In a similar manner, relative PHE volume was significantly associated with JVR (OR, 14.85; 95% CI, 3.28-67.17; p < 0.001) within 72 h of onset and at 12 ± 3 days after onset (OR, 5.87; 95% CI, 1.94-17.77; p = 0.002). JVR is associated with both absolute and relative PHE volumes after ICH.

Project description:Background and purposeIt has been shown that 3 days of 62 mg/kg/day deferoxamine infusion (maximum dose not to exceed 6000 mg/day) is safe and tolerated by intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of deferoxamine mesylate for edema resolution and hematoma absorption after ICH.MethodsFrom February 2013 to May 2014, spontaneous ICH patients diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) within 18 hours of onset were evaluated. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The treatment of the two groups was similar except that the experimental group received deferoxamine mesylate. Patients were evaluated by CT and neurology scale at the time of admission, and on the fourth, eighth, and fifteenth day (or at discharge) after admission. Patients were followed up for the first 30 days and clinical data of the two groups were compared.ResultsForty-two patients completed 30 days of follow-up by May 2014; 21 cases in the experimental group and 21 cases in the control group. The control group's relative edema volume on the fifteenth day (or discharge) was 10.26 ± 17.54, which was higher than the experimental group (1.91 ± 1.94; P < 0.05). The control group's 1-8 day and 8-15 day relative hematoma absorption were greater than the experimental group (P < 0.05).The control group's relative edema volume on the fourth, eighth, and fifteenth day (or discharge) was higher than the experimental group (P < 0.05). Neurological scores between the two groups were not statistically different on the fifteenth day (or discharge) or on the thirtieth day.ConclusionsDeferoxamine mesylate may slow hematoma absorption and inhibit edema after ICH, although further investigation is required to form definitive conclusions.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR-TRC-14004979.

Project description:BackgroundUncertainty surrounds the effects of cerebral edema on outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).MethodsWe used data from the INTERACT trial to determine the predictors and prognostic significance of "perihematomal" edema over 72 hours after ICH. INTERACT included 404 patients with CT-confirmed ICH and elevated systolic blood pressure (BP) (150-220 mm Hg) who had the capacity to commence BP lowering treatment within 6 hours of ICH. Baseline and repeat CT (24 and 72 hours) were performed using standardized techniques, with digital images analyzed centrally. Predictors of growth in edema were determined using generalized estimating equations, and its effects on clinical outcomes were estimated using a logistic regression model.ResultsOverall, 270 patients had 3 sequential CT scans available for analyses. At baseline, there was a highly significant correlation between hematoma and perihematomal edema volumes (r(2) = 0.45). Lower systolic BP and baseline hematoma volume were independently associated with absolute increase in perihematomal edema volume. History of hypertension, baseline hematoma volume, and earlier time from onset to CT were independently associated with relative increase in edema volume. Both absolute and relative increases in perihematomal edema growth were significantly associated with death or dependency at 90 days after adjustment for age, gender, and randomized treatment, but not when additionally adjusted for baseline hematoma volume.ConclusionsThe degree of, and growth in, perihematomal edema are strongly related to the size of the underlying hematoma of acute intracerebral hemorrhage, and do not appear to have a major independent effect in determining the outcome from this condition.

Project description:BackgroundPerihematomal edema contributes to secondary brain injury in the course of intracerebral hemorrhage. The effect of decompressive surgery on perihematomal edema after intracerebral hemorrhage is unknown. This study analyzed the course of PHE in patients who were or were not treated with decompressive craniectomy.MethodsMore than 100 computed tomography images from our published cohort of 25 patients were evaluated retrospectively at two university hospitals in Switzerland. Computed tomography scans covered the time from admission until day 100. Eleven patients were treated by decompressive craniectomy and 14 were treated conservatively. Absolute edema and hematoma volumes were assessed using 3-dimensional volumetric measurements. Relative edema volumes were calculated based on maximal hematoma volume.ResultsAbsolute perihematomal edema increased from 42.9 ml to 125.6 ml (192.8%) after 21 days in the decompressive craniectomy group, versus 50.4 ml to 67.2 ml (33.3%) in the control group (? at day 21 = 58.4 ml, p = 0.031). Peak edema developed on days 25 and 35 in patients with decompressive craniectomy and controls respectively, and it took about 60 days for the edema to decline to baseline in both groups. Eight patients (73%) in the decompressive craniectomy group and 6 patients (43%) in the control group had a good outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 4) at 6 months (P = 0.23).ConclusionsDecompressive craniectomy is associated with a significant increase in perihematomal edema compared to patients who have been treated conservatively. Perihematomal edema itself lasts about 60 days if it is not treated, but decompressive craniectomy ameliorates the mass effect exerted by the intracerebral hemorrhage plus the perihematomal edema, as reflected by the reduced midline shift.

Project description:Background and purposePerihematomal edema (PHE) contributes to secondary brain damage and aggravates patient outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are stable in circulation, and their unique expression profiles have fundamental roles in modulating vascular disease. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that altered miRNA levels are associated with PHE in ICH patients.MethodsHematoma and PHE volumes of ICH patients were measured on admission and in follow-up computed tomography scans. Whole-genome miRNA profiles of ICH patients and healthy controls were determined using the Exiqon miRCURY LNA Array, and validated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Bioinformatics analysis investigated dysregulated miRNA target genes and the signaling pathways involved.ResultsWe identified 55 miRNAs that were differentially expressed in ICH patients compared with normal controls, of which 54 were down-regulated and one was up-regulated. qRT-PCR confirmation showed decreases in miR-126 (0.63-fold), miR-146a (0.64-fold), miR-let-7a (0.50-fold), and miR-26a (0.54-fold) in ICH patients relative to controls. Serum miR-126, but not miR-146a, miR-let-7a or miR-26a, levels were significantly correlated with relative PHE volume on days 3-4 (r = -0.714; P<0.001) in patients with ICH.ConclusionsICH patients appear to have a specific miRNA expression profile. Low expression of miR-126 was positively correlated with the extent of PHE, suggesting it may have a pathogenic role in the development of PHE after ICH.
