目的 探讨同型半胱氨酸(homocysteine,Hcy)与高血压患者轻度认知障碍的相关性。
方法 回顾性纳入2017年1月-2018年2月邯郸市第一医院神经内科连续收治的原发性高血
压患者,根据其血浆Hcy水平,将患者分为单纯型高血压组(Hcy<15 μm m ol/L)与H型高血压组
(Hcy≥15 μmmol/L),采用Spearman秩相关分析Hcy与MMSE和MoCA评分的相关性,并采用Logistic回归
分析高血压患者轻度认知功能障碍的影响因素。
结果 共纳入原发性高血压患者113例,其中单纯型高血压组49例,H型高血压组64例。H型高血压

vs 27.24±1.80,均P <0.001)。相关分析显示,Hcy水平与MMSE和MoCA评分存在负相关性(分别为r =-
0.513和r =-0.500,均P<0.001)。多因素Logistic回归分析显示,高龄(OR 1.236,95%CI 1.124~1.361)、
H型高血压(OR 22.218,95%CI 8.243~59.654)是高血压患者轻度认知功能障碍的独立危险因素。
结论 Hcy水平升高是高血压患者轻度认知功能障碍发生的独立危险因素。  相似文献

Objective While associations between the angioarchitecture of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the brain and pathological features have been described, here we investigated the relationship between the angioarchitecture, the pathological features of the vessel wall, and hemorrhagic events. Methods The study was conducted on 43 patients: 16 with ruptured AVM (rAVM), 15 with non-ruptured AVM (nrAVM), 6 with craniocerebral trauma (control) and 6 with epilepsy (control). The diagnosis of AVM was confirmed by preoperative digital subtraction angiography. Tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and Masson’s trichrome (for collagen fibers) to evaluate the vessel wall structure and endothelial integrity. The content and distribution of collagen types I and III in the vessel wall were assessed by immunohistochemical staining. Results In the nrAVM group, the nidus had more draining veins than the rAVM group (P <0.05). Severely damaged endothelial cells, significantly fewer smooth muscle cells in the media, and hyperplasic type-I and -III collagen fibers were found in the rAVM group. The content of collagen types I and III in rAVMs was higher than that in the nrAVM (P <0.05) and control groups (P <0.01). Conclusion There is an association between angioarchitectural features such as the number of draining veins and the pathological structure of the AVM wall. These abnormalities may contribute to AVM rupture.  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite technical advances in endovascular and microsurgical treatment, patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage still have a high mortality and morbidity rate. To improve the treatment results in patients with aneurysms, we must better understand the pathophysiology of cerebral aneurysms and the mechanisms leading to their rupture. Therefore, we studied the pathological differences between unruptured and ruptured aneurysms. METHODS: Ruptured (n=44) and unruptured (n=27) aneurysms were obtained at surgery. The aneurysmal endothelium was scored from 0 (normal) to 5 (complete disruption) by using a scanning electron microscope. The aneurysmal wall was evaluated by immunohistochemical methods. The wall structure was scored from 1 (dense collagen and rich, smooth muscle cells) to 5 (hyaline-like structure). The degree of inflammatory cell invasion into the wall was also scored from 0 (very few cells) to 3 (many cells). RESULTS: Ruptured aneurysms manifested significant endothelial damage (score of 3.7 versus 0.8; Mann-Whitney U test, P<10(-3)), significant structural changes of the wall (3.7 versus 1.7, P<10(-5)), and significant inflammatory cell invasion (2.2 versus 0.8, P<10(-4)) compared with unruptured aneurysms. There was a significant correlation between the score for wall structure and the score for inflammatory cell invasion (Rs=0. 63; Spearman rank correlation test, P<10(-5)). The pathophysiology of several symptomatic unruptured aneurysms was similar to that of ruptured aneurysms. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the pathophysiology of unruptured, asymptomatic and ruptured aneurysms is different. The wall of ruptured aneurysms was found to be fragile, possibly because macrophage infiltration into the aneurysmal wall resulted in loss of smooth muscle cells and in degradation of matrix proteins.  相似文献

脑动静脉畸形的微观形态学   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
目的 通过对脑动静脉畸形(cAVM)微观形态学的系统研究,进一步了解cAVM出血发生机制,探讨其相关临床症状发生的结构学基础。方法 应用HE及Masson特殊形态学染色,透射电镜观察及原子力显微镜(AFM)扫描观察15例cAVM的病理组织学及微观形态学改变。结果 HE及Masson染色结果砬示畸形血管管腔大小不一,管壁厚薄不均,畸形血管壁欠完整,管壁各层排列紊乱,胶原纤维断裂,平滑肌纤维不完整。透射电镜扫描显示栓塞的cAVM血管巾,内皮细胞断裂,内膜下层部分缺如;在栓塞与未栓塞的病巢血管壁均显示胶原蛋白束紊乱排列,内皮细胞问紧密连接欠完整,cAVM存在反复出血表现。AFM扫描结果显示畸形血管内皮细胞形态欠完整,内皮细胞之间紧密连接受到一定程度破坏,存在间断的“弹坑样”凹陷和“火山口样”改变。结论 外科切除的cAVM微观组织形态学异常,存在反复出血表现,内皮细胞及细胞间的紧密连接破坏与血管壁各层结构排列紊乱可能是cAVM出血的原因,慢性反复出血后局部脑组织中含铁血黄素的沉积可能是导致癫痫发生的主要原因。  相似文献

Treatment of arteriovenous malformations of the brain   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The treatment of ruptured and unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is driven by the need to prevent incident or recurrent intracranial hemorrhages. Improving feasibility of the rapidly developing endovascular, neurosurgical, and radiotherapeutic procedures leads to invasive treatment of an increasing number of neurologically intact patients with accidentally diagnosed AVMs. Recent data confirm that the natural history risk of unruptured AVMs is significantly lower than the risk of those presenting with rupture, and the treatment risk of invasive management of unruptured AVMs seems higher than their natural history risk. The treatment decision algorithm for these patients remains unsettled, as no randomized clinical trial data exist on the benefit of invasive AVM treatment for patients with bled or with unbled AVMs. The recently launched study A Randomized Trial of Unruptured Brain AVMs (ARUBA) will be the first trial randomizing patients with nonhemorrhaged AVMs to invasive versus conservative management.  相似文献

Is surgical therapy needed for unruptured arteriovenous malformations?   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
R C Heros  Y K Tu 《Neurology》1987,37(2):279-286
A conservative attitude toward unruptured arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has been based on the belief that surgical resection is too risky and that their natural history is benign. We have operated on 103 patients with a cerebral AVM. In the 49 patients with unruptured AVMs, there was no mortality, and the morbidity was 14.2%. Similarly, low surgical morbidity has been reported from several centers during the last few years. The chance of hemorrhage for both ruptured and unruptured AVMs is about 3% per year, and the combined morbidity and mortality of each hemorrhage is at least 40%. All patients with an AVM should be individually considered for possible surgical resection, whether or not they have bled.  相似文献

IntroductionThe real-world evolution of management and outcomes of patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) has not been well-delineated following the ARUBA trial findings of no general advantage of initial interventional (surgical/endovascular/radiotherapy) vs. initial conservative medical therapy.MethodsWe analyzed the National Inpatient Sample from 2009-2018, capturing 20% of all admissions in the U.S. Validated ICD-9 and -10 codes defined brain AVMs, comorbidities, and the use of interventional modalities. Analyses were performed by year and for the dichotomized periods of pre-ARUBA (2009-2013) vs. post-ARUBA (2014-2018).ResultsAmong the national projected 88,037 AVM admissions, 72,812 (82.7%) were unruptured AVMs and 15,225 (17.3%) were ruptured AVMs. Among uAVMs, 51.4% admitted pre-ARUBA and 48.6% in post-ARUBA period. The post-ARUBA patients were mildly older (median age 53.3 vs. 51.8 (p = 0.001) and had more comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, renal impairment, and smoking. Before the first platform report of ARUBA (2009-2012), rates of use of interventional treatments during uAVM admissions trended up from 31.8% to 35.4%. Thereafter, they declined significantly to 26.4% in 2018 (p = 0.02). The decline was driven by a reduction in the frequency of endovascular treatment from 18.8% to 13.9% and inpatient stereotactic radiosurgery from 0.5% to 0.1%. No change occurred in the frequency of microsurgery or combined endovascular and surgical approaches. Adjusted multivariable model of uAVMs showed increased odds of discharge to a long-term inpatient facility or in-hospital death [OR 1.14 (1.02-1.28), p = 0.020] in post-ARUBA. A significantly increased proportion of ruptured AVMs from 17.0% to 23.3% was observed consistently in post-ARUBA.ConclusionNationwide practice in the management of unruptured AVMs changed substantially with the publication of the ARUBA trial in a durable and increasing manner. Fewer admissions with the interventional treatment of unruptured AVMs occurred, and a corresponding increase in admission for ruptured AVMs transpired, as expected with a strategy of watchful waiting and treatment only after an index bleeding event. Further studies are needed to determine whether these trends can be considered to be ARUBA trial effect or are merely coincidental.  相似文献

A growing body of evidence suggests that inflammation plays a crucial role in cerebral aneurysm initiation, progression, and rupture. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a non-histone nuclear protein that can serve as an alarmin to drive the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of HMGB1 in the wall of ruptured and unruptured human cerebral aneurysms. Human cerebral aneurysms (25 ruptured and 16 unruptured) were immunohistochemically stained for HMGB1. As controls, four specimens of the middle cerebral arteries obtained at autopsy were also immunostained. Immunofluorescence double staining was used to determine HMGB1 cellular distribution. HMGB1 was nearly undetectable in the controls. All aneurysm tissues stained positive for HMGB1 monoclonal antibody, and expression of HMGB1 was more abundant in ruptured aneurysm tissue than unruptured aneurysms (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the expression of HMGB1 had no correlation with aneurysm size and time resected after the rupture. HMGB1 nuclear immunoreactivity was co-localized with immunoreactivity of CD3 in T lymphocytes, CD20 in B lymphocytes, CD68 in macrophages, α-SMA in smooth muscle cells, and CD31 in endothelial cells. Cytoplasmic HMGB1 localization was also detected in macrophages and T lymphocytes. Taken together, HMGB1 is expressed in the wall of human cerebral aneurysms and is more abundant in ruptured aneurysms than in unruptured ones. These data indicate a possible role of HMGB1 in the pathophysiology of human cerebral aneurysms.  相似文献
