Brain Iron Deposition

Brain iron deposition correlates with clinical manifestations of cerebral small vessel disease. Excessive iron load leads to the formation of free radicals, and nervous tissue damage. The main damaging effect of hydroxyl radicals is due to conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin. There is also a possible relationship between the functional state of the liver and the early manifestations of cardiovascular disease. Objective: to investigate the relationship between the parameters of coagulation system, liver functional state, fat and protein metabolism, and brain iron deposition in patients with cerebral small vessel disease in the presence of hypertension and cerebral atherosclerosis. Materials and methods: 80 patients with diagnosed cerebral small vessel disease were selected. Patients were divided into two groups, depending on the severity of brain iron deposition. All patients underwent MRI in the T1-WI, T2-WI, TIRM, DWI, and SWI sequences. Determination of the coagulation system parameters and the biochemical analysis were carried out during routine blood test. Results: using a double-sample t test, it was determined that patients with severe brain iron deposition had higher levels of urea, triglycerides, and prolonged thrombin time. With the logistic regression analysis adjusted by the age and sex, levels of urea and the length of thrombin time were determined as the independent risk factors for severe brain iron deposition. For urea OR 1.87, CI 95% 1.31-2.65 (p = 0.02), for thrombin time OR 1.55, CI 95% 1.06-2.26 (p = 0.02). For these parameters, the risk increased when assessing only patients with ALT levels> 15 U / l. For such patients, the relationship between thrombin time and brain iron deposition increased significantly: OR 2.11, CI 95% 1.20-3.71 (p = 0.01). In this study no relationship was found between the indicators of fat metabolism, levels of fibrin and iron deposition. There is a probable relationship between the brain iron deposition and the state of coagulation system, protein metabolism and liver functional state in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.

BackgroundThe effect of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) on stroke outcomes remains unclear.MethodsData of 1045 patients with minor stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) were obtained from 45 sites of the Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients with Acute Non-disabling Cerebrovascular Events (CHANCE) trial. We assessed the associations of burdens of CSVD and ICAS with new strokes and bleeding events using multivariate Cox regression models and those with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores using ordinal logistic regression models.ResultsAmong the 1045 patients, CSVD was present in 830 cases (79.4%) and ICAS in 460 (44.0%). Patients with >1 ICAS segment showed the highest risk of new strokes (HR 2.03, 95% CI 1.15 to 3.56, p=0.01). No association between CSVD and the occurrence of new strokes was found. The presence of severe CSVD (common OR (cOR) 2.01, 95% CI 1.40 to 2.89, p<0.001) and >1 ICAS segment (cOR 2.15, 95% CI 1.57 to 2.93, p<0.001) was associated with higher mRS scores. Severe CSVD (HR 10.70, 95% CI 1.16 to 99.04, p=0.04), but not ICAS, was associated with a higher risk of bleeding events. Six-point modified CSVD score improved the predictive power for bleeding events and disability.InterpretationCSVD is associated with more disability and bleeding events, and ICAS is associated with an increased risk of stroke and disability in patients with minor stroke and TIA at 3 months. CSVD and ICAS may represent different vascular pathologies and play distinct roles in stroke outcomes.Trial registration numberNCT00979589

Subcortical Infarction

Recent subcortical infarction (RSI) in the lenticulostriate artery (LSA) territory with a non-stenotic middle cerebral artery is a heterogeneous entity. We aimed to investigate the role of LSA combined with neuroimaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in differentiating the pathogenic subtypes of RSI by whole-brain vessel-wall magnetic resonance imaging (WB-VWI). Fifty-two RSI patients without relevant middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis on magnetic resonance angiography were prospectively enrolled. RSI was dichotomized as branch atheromatous disease (BAD; a culprit plaque located adjacent to the LSA origin) (n = 34) and CSVD-related lacunar infarction (CSVD-related LI; without plaque or plaque located distal to the LSA origin) (n = 18). Logistic regression analysis showed lacunes (odds ratio [OR] 9.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.71–54.72; P = 0.010) and smaller number of LSA branches (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.36–0.96; P = 0.034) were associated with of BAD, whereas severe deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMH) (OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.02–0.71; P = 0.021) was associated with CSVD-related LI. In conclusion, the LSA branches combined with lacunes and severe DWMH may delineate subtypes of SSI. The WB-VWI technique could be a credible tool for delineating the heterogeneous entity of SSI in the LSA territory.

Ordinal Logistic Regression Model

A total of 590 older adults of Amerindian ancestry living in rural Ecuador received anthropometric measurements and a brain magnetic resonance imaging to estimate the total cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) score. A fully adjusted ordinal logistic regression model, with categories of the total cSVD score as the dependent variable, disclosed significant associations between the waist circumference, the waist-to-hip, and the waist-to-height ratios – but not the body mass index (BMI) – and the cSVD burden. Indices of abdominal obesity may better correlate with severity of cSVD than the BMI in Amerindians. Phenotypic characteristics of this population may account for these results.

Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) represents a cluster of various vascular disorders with different pathological backgrounds. The advanced vasculature net of cerebral vessels, including small arteries, capillaries, arterioles and venules, is usually affected. Processes of oxidation underlie the pathology of CSVD, promoting the degenerative status of the epithelial layer. There are several classifications of cerebral small vessel diseases; some of them include diseases such as Binswanger’s disease, leukoaraiosis, cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and lacunar strokes. This paper presents the characteristics of CSVD and the impact of the current knowledge of this topic on the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
