Background and Purpose: We investigated the relation between the ipsilesional corticospinal tract (CST) state and activity of daily living independence in patients with chronic intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods: Fifty-six consecutive patients with unilateral intracerebral hemorrhage and 38 healthy control subjects were recruited for this study. The Motricity index and the modified Barthel index were used to evaluate motor function of the affected extremities and activity of daily living independence, respectively. The diffusion tensor imaging parameter values for fractional anisotropy (FA) and voxel number (VN) of the CST were determined. Ratios of the ipsilesional to the contralesional CST measures were calculated and are presented as the CST-ratio (FA value and VN). Results: The FA value and VN of the ipsilesional CST and the CST-ratio in the patient group were lower than those of the control group ( P <0.05). There was a strong positive correlation between the Motricity index score of the affected extremities and the modified Barthel index score ( P <0.05), while the FA value and VN of the ipsilesional CST and the CST-ratio showed moderate and strong positive correlations with the Motricity index and modified Barthel index scores, respectively ( P <0.05). In addition, the VN of the ipsilesional CST showed excellent utility as a classifier, whereas the FA value of the ipsilesional CST and the FA value and VN of the CST-ratio showed good classifier utility ( P <0.05). Conclusions: We demonstrated that impairment of activity of daily living independency was closely related to the injury severity of the ipsilesional CST in patients with chronic intracerebral hemorrhage. In addition, the injury severity of the ipsilesional CST can be used to classify the degree of activity of daily living independency.

Introduction: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease with poor outcome. Established predictive markers include initial hematoma size, clinical status, intraventricular bleeding and age. However, prognostic assessment is often difficult which additionally burdens patients and caregivers and complicates rehabilitation. Functional outcome especially relies on motor function which is correlated with the integrity of the Corticospinal Tract (CST). Diffusion Tensor (DT) Tractography allows visualization of the CST. However, sufficient data about the prognostic impact of quantitative CST assessment is lacking. Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH admitted between 08/2012 und 08/2015. Informed consent and ethical approval was obtained. MRI scan was performed on day 5±1. DT data was normalized to MNI Space and Q-Space diffeomorphic reconstruction was performed using DSI-studio. CST was reconstructed based on quantitative anisotropy (QA) using the CST region (JHU white matter atlas) as seeding region and cerebral peduncle as region of interest (ROI). Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and QA were analyzed in the seeding and ROI region and in the posterior limb of the internal capsule (PLIC). Dichotomized modified Rankin Scale on day 90 (favorable outcome = mRS 0-2) was assessed as primary outcome variable. Results: 33 patients, mean age 70.7 y (standard deviation (SD) 12.9), 12 male, 21 with lobar hemorrhage, mean ICH volume on admission 16.5 (SD 11.3) cm 3 were included. 16 patients had a favorable outcome on day 90 (median mRS 3 (IQR 1-3.5). Mean number of reconstructed CST fiber pathways ipsilateral to ICH was higher in patients with favorable outcome (11343 (SD 8201)) than in patients with unfavorable outcome (4868 (SD 3221), p=0.008). Median QA and FA values in the PLIC ipsilateral to ICH were also higher in patients with favorable outcome (QA: 18.9 (IQR 16.2-23.3) vs. 14.6 (IQR 11.7 - 17.7), p=0.016, FA: 0.49 (IQR 0.45-0.53) vs. 0.41 (IQR 0.38-0.49), p=0.026). Conclusion: Higher FA- and QA-values in the PLIC and higher numbers of CST fiber pathways ipsilateral to ICH seem to be associated with a favorable outcome. DT Imaging may turn out as a useful quantitative predictive marker in the acute phase of ICH.

Some studies have reported that a core vestibular projection (CVP) injury is associated with dizziness following a brain injury using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). On the other hand, there has been no DTT study on dizziness caused by a CVP injury in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this study, DTT was used to examine the relationship between dizziness and CVP injury in patients with mild TBI. Forty-three patients with mild TBI and twenty-nine normal subjects were recruited. The patients were classified into two groups based on the dizziness score: group A, patients with a dizziness score less than 2 on the sub-item score for dizziness in the Rivermead Post-concussion Symptoms Questionnaire; group B, patients with a dizziness score above 2. The tract volume (TV) in group B was significantly lower than group A and the control group (p < 0.05). By contrast, the TV in group A was similar to the control group (p > 0.05). Regarding the correlation, the dizziness score of all patients showed a strong negative correlation with the TV of the CVP (r = −0.711, p < 0.05). DTT revealed the CVP injury in patients with dizziness after mild TBI. In addition, the severity of dizziness of these patients was closely related to the injury severity of the CVP.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of butyphthalide in the treatment of massive cerebral infarction. Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with massive cerebral infarction who were admitted to the hospital between January 2017 and December 2017 were selected and divided into a treatment group (n = 60) and a control group (n = 60) using random number table, 80 each group. Patients in the control group were given conventional cerebral infarction therapy, while patients in the treatment group were given butyphthalide injection besides the conventional treatment. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, score of activity of daily living (ADL), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LP-PLA2) and prognosis were recorded and compared between the two groups. The response rates of the two groups were recorded. Results: The total response rates of the control group and treatment group were 73.85% and 93.85% respectively at the postoperative 21st day, and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05). The NIHSS score of the two groups obviously decreased, and the ADL score significantly increased after treatment; the differences of NIHSS score and ADL score before and after treatment in the same group had statistical significance (P<0.05). The improvement of the indexes of the treatment group was obviously superior to that of the control group, and the differences between the two groups had statistical significance (P<0.05). The level of LP-PLA2 of both groups significantly decreased at the postoperative 21st day, and the difference before and after treatment in the same group was statistically significant (P<0.05); the treatment group had a significantly lower level of LP-PLA2 than the control group, and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05). The treatment group had significantly higher positive outcome rate and lower mortality rate than the control group at the postoperative 90th day, and the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events of the treatment group and control group was 8.3% (5/60) and 5.0% (3/60) respectively, suggesting no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: Butyphthalide has a favourable effect in treating massive cerebral infarction. It can repair neurologic impairment, improve activity of daily living, and adjust the level of LP-PLA2, suggesting favourable application values. How to cite this:Wang X, Sun Y, Dong S, Liu X, Ji J.

Abstract Background: Hospitalized patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia showed a severve loss of muscle mass and strength over admission. Therefore, early physical interventions might be conducive to prevent disability and fasten recovery. Methods: We designed a prospective, randomized controlled trial to identify the effectiveness and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation based on muscle exercise in COVID-19 patients. The study was conducted between February 7th and March 31st 2020 in Union Hospital. Patients were randomly assigned to the pulmonary rehabilitation exercise group or the control group. Primary outcome was improvement of activity of daily living (ADL). Secondary outcome was changes of muscle strength assessed by manual muscle test (MMT) and arterial blood gas analysis. Length of hospital staying (LOS) and adverse events related to physical activity were also observed.Results: A total of sixty patients were in analysis, and thirty patients were in PR group. Patients had a mean age of 54.43±10.57 years. A statistically and clinically significant increase in ADL was observed in PR group (75.00 [66.25,90.00] to 100.00 [100.00,100.00], p<0.001). We also found that the improvement of ADL was related to younger age and higher PaO2 (p<0.01). Both groups had MMT improvement and there was no statistical difference between groups. There was a significant increase in PaO2 (80.23±6.49 vs. 90.47±7.82, respectively, p<0.001) between two groups before discharge. There was no statically significant difference in LOS between study group and control group (p=0.62). None of these patients had severe complications during the study.Conclusions: The protocal of pulmonary rehabilitation based on muscle training exercise was feasible in COVID-19 patients and it might accelerate recovery in ADL as compared with the spontaneous recovery in the control group.Clinical Trial Registration: ChiCTR, ChiCTR2000032457.
