Abstract Background Neuroinflammation is important in the pathophysiology of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and peripheral inflammatory cells play a role in the clinical evolution and outcome. Methodology Blood samples from ICH patients (n = 20) were collected at admission for 5 consecutive days for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Frozen PBMCs were used for real-time PCR using Taqman probes (NFKB1, SOD1, PPARG, IL10, NFE2L2, and REL) and normalized to GAPDH. Data on hospital length of stay and modified Rankin score (MRS) were collected with 90-day MRS ≤ 3 as favorable outcome. Statistical analysis of clinical characteristics to temporal gene expression from early to delayed timepoints was compared for MRS groups (favorable vs unfavorable) and hematoma volume. Principle findings and results IL10, SOD1, and REL expression were significantly higher at delayed timepoints in PBMCs of ICH patients with favorable outcome. PPARG and REL increased between timepoints in patients with favorable outcome. NFKB1 expression was not sustained, but significantly decreased from higher levels at early onset in patients with unfavorable outcome. IL10 expression showed a negative correlation in patients with high hematoma volume (>30 mL). Conclusions and significance Anti-inflammatory, pro-survival regulators were highly expressed at delayed time points in ICH patients with a favorable outcome, and IL10 expression showed a negative correlation to high hematoma volume.

Object Surgical evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) remains a subject of controversy. Minimally invasive techniques for hematoma evacuation have shown a trend toward improved outcomes. The aim of the present study is to describe a minimally invasive alternative for the evacuation of sICH and evaluate its feasibility. Methods The authors reviewed records of all patients who underwent endoscopic evacuation of an sICH at the UCLA Medical Center between March 2002 and March 2011. All patients in whom the described technique was used for evacuation of an sICH were included in this series. In this approach an incision is made at the superior margin of the eyebrow, and a bur hole is made in the supraorbital bone lateral to the frontal sinus. Using stereotactic guidance, the surgeon advanced the endoscopic sheath along the long axis of the hematoma and fixed it in place at two specific depths where suction was then applied until 75%–85% of the preoperatively determined hematoma volume was removed. An endoscope's camera, then introduced through the sheath, was used to assist in hemostasis. Preoperative and postoperative hematoma volumes and reduction in midline shift were calculated and recorded. Admission Glasgow Coma Scale and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores were compared with postoperative scores. Results Six patients underwent evacuation of an sICH using the eyebrow/bur hole technique. The mean preoperative hematoma volume was 68.9 ml (range 30.2–153.9 ml), whereas the mean postoperative residual hematoma volume was 11.9 ml (range 5.1–24.1 ml) (p = 0.02). The mean percentage of hematoma evacuated was 79.2% (range 49%–92.7%). The mean reduction in midline shift was 57.8% (p < 0.01). The Glasgow Coma Scale score improved in each patient between admission and discharge examination. In 5 of the 6 patients the mRS score improved from admission exam to last follow-up. None of the patients experienced rebleeding. Conclusions This minimally invasive technique is a feasible alternative to other means of evacuating sICHs. It is intended for anterior basal ganglia hematomas, which usually have an elongated, ovoid shape. The approach allows for an optimal trajectory to the long axis of the hematoma, making it possible to evacuate the vast majority of the clot with only one pass of the endoscopic sheath, theoretically minimizing the amount of damage to normal brain.

Abstract Background Follow-up imaging in intracerebral hemorrhage is not standardized and radiologists rely on different imaging modalities to determine hematoma growth. This study assesses the volumetric accuracy of different imaging modalities (MRI, CT angiography, postcontrast CT) to measure hematoma size. Methods 28 patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage referred to a tertiary stroke center were retrospectively included between 2018 and 2019. Inclusion criteria were (1) spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (supra- or infratentorial), (2) noncontrast CT imaging performed on admission, (3) follow-up imaging (CT angiography, postcontrast CT, MRI), and (4) absence of hematoma expansion confirmed by a third cranial image within 6 days. Two independent raters manually measured hematoma volume by drawing a region of interest on axial slices of admission noncontrast CT scans as well as on follow-up imaging (CT angiography, postcontrast CT, MRI) using a semi-automated segmentation tool (Visage image viewer; version 7.1.10). Results were compared using Bland–Altman plots. Results Mean admission hematoma volume was 18.79 ± 19.86 cc. All interrater and intrarater intraclass correlation coefficients were excellent (1; IQR 0.98–1.00). In comparison to hematoma volume on admission noncontrast CT volumetric measurements were most accurate in patients who received postcontrast CT (bias of − 2.47%, SD 4.67: n = 10), while CT angiography often underestimated hemorrhage volumes (bias of 31.91%, SD 45.54; n = 20). In MRI sequences intracerebral hemorrhage volumes were overestimated in T2* (bias of − 64.37%, SD 21.65; n = 10). FLAIR (bias of 6.05%, SD 35.45; n = 13) and DWI (bias of-14.6%, SD 31.93; n = 12) over- and underestimated hemorrhagic volumes. Conclusions Volumetric measurements were most accurate in postcontrast CT while CT angiography and MRI sequences often substantially over- or underestimated hemorrhage volumes.

Objective. Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a blood clot arising in the brain parenchyma in the absence of trauma or surgery and accounts for 10% to 15% of all strokes, leading to higher rates of mortality and morbidity than either ischemic stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage. We sought to investigate the potential association of DOCK1 with neurological deficits and outcomes in patients with spontaneous ICH. Methods. Identification of methylation-regulated differentially expressed genes (MeDEGs) between ICH patients and matched controls was performed by analyzing the raw data from the GSE179759 and GSE125512 datasets deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus. A total of 114 patients who were admitted to our hospital for spontaneous ICH were retrospectively analyzed, with 108 healthy volunteers who had received physical examinations at the same period as controls. The mRNA expression of DOCK1 was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The hematoma volume was calculated according to the Coniglobus formula. The severity of neurological deficits was evaluated using National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and function outcomes were evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores. Results. A total of 15 MeDEGs between ICH patients and matched controls were identified. The mRNA expression of DOCK1 was remarkably higher in the serum samples of patients with spontaneous ICH than in the healthy controls. According to hematoma volume after ICH attack, small (<10 mL), medium (10 to 30 mL), and large (>30 mL) groups were arranged. The proportions of male patients and patients aged ≥60 years were significantly higher in the large group than in the small and medium groups ( P < 0.05 ). The mRNA expression of DOCK1 was significantly higher in the large group than in the small and medium groups ( P < 0.05 ). According to NIHSS scores, mild (NIHSS scores ≤15), moderate (NIHSS scores from 16 to 30), and severe (NIHSS scores from 31 to 45) groups were classified. It was observed that the severe group had higher proportions of male patients and patients aged ≥60 years than the mild and moderate groups ( P < 0.05 ). The severe group exhibited a higher mRNA expression of DOCK1 than the mild and moderate groups ( P < 0.05 ). According to mRS scores, higher proportions of male patients and patients aged ≥60 years were observed in the unfavorable group than the favorable group ( P < 0.05 ). The patients in the unfavorable group showed an elevated DOCK1 mRNA expression compared to those in the favorable group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The study provided evidence that male gender, older age, and higher DOCK1 mRNA expression were related to higher admission hematoma volume, neurologic deterioration, and poor function outcomes in patients with spontaneous ICH.
