Abstract Background This study was performed to identify genes and lncRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from ruptured intracranial aneurysm (RIA). Methods Microarray GSE36791 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database followed by the identification of significantly different expressed RNAs (DERs, including lncRNA and mRNA) between patients with SAH and healthy individuals. Then, the functional analyses of DEmRNAs were conducted and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was also performed to extract the modules associated with SAH. Following, the lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network was constructed and the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to screen key RNA biomarkers involved in the pathogenesis of SAH from RIA. We also verified the results in a bigger dataset GSE7337. Results Totally, 561 DERs, including 25 DElncRNAs and 536 DEmRNAs, were identified. Functional analysis revealed that the DEmRNAs were mainly associated with immune response-associated GO-BP terms and KEGG pathways. Moreover, there were 6 modules significantly positive-correlated with SAH. The lncRNA-mRNA co-expression network contained 2 lncRNAs (LINC00265 and LINC00937) and 169 mRNAs. The GSEA analysis showed that these two lncRNAs were associated with three pathways (cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, neurotrophin signaling pathway, and apoptosis). Additionally, IRAK3 and NFKBIA involved in the neurotrophin signaling pathway and apoptosis while IL1R2, IL18RAP and IL18R1 was associated with cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway. The expression levels of these genes have the same trend in GSE36791 and GSE7337. Conclusion LINC00265 and LINC00937 may be implicated with the pathogenesis of SAH from RIA. They were involved in three important regulatory pathways. 5 mRNAs played important roles in the three pathways.

Complete Procedure

A middle-aged patient presented with posterior circulation symptoms attributable to a large eccentric basilar trunk aneurysm. The planned treatment was flow diversion with loose coil packing which was successfully performed using a Pipeline Flex device deployed from the basilar to the left posterior cerebral artery. The complete procedure including live biplane fluoroscopy was digitally recorded. The patient had symptomatic improvement postoperatively and was discharged on day 1. The patient suffered a cardiac arrest on postoperative day 3 secondary to massive intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhage. An aneurysm rupture was suspected; however, postmortem examination showed an intact aneurysm sac. The hemorrhage was attributed to a small focal rent in the distal basilar artery next to an atheromatous plaque. The Pipeline device was visible through the rent. This is an autopsy report documenting an injury to the parent artery and not the aneurysm as a source of fatal delayed subarachnoid hemorrhage following flow diversion.

Abstract The cause of chronic cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage has been studied intensively, but it is still controversial whether the observable luminal narrowing should be attributed to the contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells or whether it results from some organic change in the wall. A proliferation of myointimal cells, accompanied by increased deposition of collagen, as well as myonecrosis, have been frequently observed several days after aneurysm rupture. Studies from our laboratory showed that these myointimal cells had characteristics identical to myofibroblasts. In this study, we quantitatively and morphologically examined the effect of cerebrospinal fluid on the ability of myofibroblasts to alter collagen matrices using an in vitro model. Myofibroblasts contract the collagen matrix by rearranging or compacting the framework of collagen fibers. Cerebrospinal fluid obtained from patients with recently ruptured aneurysms significantly accelerated lattice contraction, especially when the patient developed symptomatic vasospasm. This study suggests that myofibroblasts in the spastic artery can produce a contractile force that contributes to chronic vasospasm, tightening the proliferated collagen. Some unknown agent present in bloody cerebrospinal fluid accelerates the rearrangement of the collagen lattice by myofibroblasts, both of which have, until now, been considered non-contractile components.

OBJECTIVEHydrocephalus and seizures greatly impact outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH); however, reliable tools to predict these outcomes are lacking. The authors used a volumetric quantitative analysis tool to evaluate the association of total aSAH volume with the outcomes of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus and seizures.METHODSTotal hemorrhage volume following aneurysm rupture was retrospectively analyzed on presentation CT imaging using a custom semiautomated computer program developed in MATLAB that employs intensity-based k-means clustering to automatically separate blood voxels from other tissues. Volume data were added to a prospectively maintained aSAH database. The association of hemorrhage volume with shunted hydrocephalus and seizures was evaluated through logistic regression analysis and the diagnostic accuracy through analysis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).RESULTSThe study population comprised 288 consecutive patients with aSAH. The mean total hemorrhage volume was 74.9 ml. Thirty-eight patients (13.2%) developed seizures. The mean hemorrhage volume in patients who developed seizures was significantly higher than that in patients with no seizures (mean difference 17.3 ml, p = 0.01). In multivariate analysis, larger hemorrhage volume on initial CT scan and hemorrhage volume > 50 ml (OR 2.81, p = 0.047, 95% CI 1.03–7.80) were predictive of seizures. Forty-eight patients (17%) developed shunt-dependent hydrocephalus. The mean hemorrhage volume in patients who developed shunt-dependent hydrocephalus was significantly higher than that in patients who did not (mean difference 17.2 ml, p = 0.006). Larger hemorrhage volume and hemorrhage volume > 50 ml (OR 2.45, p = 0.03, 95% CI 1.08–5.54) were predictive of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus. Hemorrhage volume had adequate discrimination for the development of seizures (AUC 0.635) and shunted hydrocephalus (AUC 0.629).CONCLUSIONSHemorrhage volume is an independent predictor of seizures and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus in patients with aSAH. Further evaluation of aSAH quantitative volumetric analysis may complement existing scales used in clinical practice and assist in patient prognostication and management.

Introduction: Acute brain injury incurred after aneurysm rupture in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a major predictor of poor functional outcome. We hypothesize that platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLA) form early after SAH and contribute to acute brain injury. Methods: A prospective study of antiplatelet-naive SAH patients and controls (patients with unruptured aneurysms undergoing repair) was conducted from 3/2014-3/2016. Platelet-monocyte, platelet-lymphocyte and platelet-neutrophil aggregates in whole blood were measured with and without exposure to a platelet agonist (Thrombin receptor activating peptide [TRAP]) using flow cytometry. PLA within 24h and averaged over 72h from ictus (prior to the onset of delayed cerebral ischemia/vasospasm) were compared between patients with mild (admission Hunt-Hess [HH] 1-3) versus severe early brain injury (EBI; HH 4-5). Results: We enrolled 60 SAH patients and 13 controls. PLA were significantly lower in those with severe EBI compared to those with mild EBI (Platelet-monocyte-aggregates 36% versus 53%, P=0.011; Platelet-neutrophil-aggregates 15.2 versus 23.1%, P=0.002) within 24h of ictus and prior to aneurysm repair and remained significantly lower over 72h (both P<0.05). Platelet-monocyte, platelet-neutrophil and platelet-lymphocyte aggregates were also significantly lower in those with severe EBI compared to controls (all P<0.05). The ability of platelets to be stimulated/activated by TRAP to form PLA was also lower in severe EBI patients compared to mild EBI and control patients over 72h (platelet-neutrophil-aggregates 79.7, 88.2 and 92.7%, respectively, P=0.003; platelet-lymphocyte aggregates 9.2, 11.0 and 14.6%, respectively, P=0.022), consistent with prior platelet activation/degranulation. Conclusions: PLA are lower, and respond less to stimulation in patients with severe EBI after SAH compared to those with mild EBI and controls. These data suggest that in severe EBI: PLA may form earlier and are cleared, are adherent to endothelium and not shed in the blood, or have migrated into the parenchyma. These hypotheses bear further study.

✓ The overall results are presented of early medical management and delayed operation among 249 patients studied during the period 1974 to 1977, treated within 3 days of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and evaluated 90 days after aneurysm rupture. The results included 36.2% mortality, 17.9% survival with serious neurological sequelae, and 46% with a favorable outcome. Of the patients admitted in good neurological condition, 28.7% had died and only 55.7% had a favorable recovery at 90 days after SAH. These figures represent the results despite effective reduction in early rebleeding by antifibrinolytic therapy and successful surgery in those patients reaching operation. Further therapeutic advances are needed for patients hospitalized within a few days after SAH.

✓ This follow-up study was designed to evaluate whether the use of aspirin either before or after aneurysm rupture affects the occurrence of delayed cerebral ischemia. Aspirin inhibits platelet function and thromboxane production and has been shown to reduce the risk of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ischemic diseases. Following admission, the patients in this study were interviewed regarding their use of aspirin and other medicines prior to and after hemorrhage, and their urine was screened qualitatively for salicylates. Patient outcome and the occurrence of hypodense lesions consistent with cerebral infarction on follow-up computerized tomography (CT) were studied prospectively up to 1 year after hemorrhage. Of 291 patients, 31 (11%) died because of the initial hemorrhage and 18 (6%) died due to rebleeding within 4 days after hemorrhage. Of the remaining 242 patients, 90 (37%) had delayed cerebral ischemia, which caused a permanent neurological deficit or death in 54 patients (22%). Of 195 patients undergoing follow-up CT, 85 (44%) had cerebral infarction that was not seen on the CT scan obtained on admission. Those who had salicylates in the urine on admission had a relative risk of 0.40 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.15 to 1.10) of delayed ischemia with fixed deficit and a risk of 0.40 (95% CI, 0.18 to 0.93) of cerebral infarction compared with patients who did not have salicylates in their urine. This reduced risk of ischemic complications with aspirin use was restricted to those patients who used aspirin before hemorrhage, when the risk of ischemia was 0.21 (95% CI, 0.03 to 1.63) and the risk of infarct was 0.18 (95% CI, 0.04 to 0.84) compared with those who had not used aspirin. The reduced risk of cerebral infarction remained significant after adjustment for several potential confounding factors (adjusted risk 0.19; 95% CI, 0.04 to 0.89). These observations suggest that platelet function at the time of subarachnoid hemorrhage may be associated with delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysm rupture.
