Störungen der Ionen- und Blutgas Homöostase mit Verschiebungen von Na+ und K+ in der regionalen Hypoxie sind ein Kennzeichen der experimentellen zerebralen Ischämie, wurden aber in ihrer Bedeutung für Schlaganfallpatienten noch nicht hinreichend untersucht. Wir berichten über eine prospektive, humane Querschnittsstudie an 366 Schlaganfallpatienten, die mit einer endovaskulären Rekanalisation bei einem akuten LVO der vorderen Zirkulation zwischen dem 18.Dezember 2018 und dem 31.August 2020 behandelt wurden. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Dissertationsarbeit wurden intraprozedural arterielle Blutgasproben (1ml) aus dem lokal ischämischen Kollateralkreislauf und der intraindividuellen systemischen Referenzlokalisation in 51 Patienten gewonnen. Die Probengewinnung mit Hilfe eines Mikrokatheters erfolgte nach einem bereits veröffentlichten Protokoll.
Diese Arbeit weist in der Perakutphase eines Großgefäßverschlusses signifikant nach, dass der lokal ischämische paO2 (-4,29%, paO2ischämisch=185,3 mmHg vs. paO2systemisch=193,6mmHg; p=0,035) und die Konzentration von K+ (-5,49%, K+ischämisch=3,44mmol/L vs. K+systemisch=3,64mmol/L; p=0,0081) signifikant reduziert war. Wir beobachteten, dass der Na+:K+-Quotient in der Kollateralzirkulation (+3,29%; Na+:K+-Quotientischämisch=41,74 vs. Na+:K+-Quotientsystemisch=40,38; p=0,0048) im Vergleich zur systemischen Zirkulation signifikant erhöht war, während die Na+-Konzentration signifikant positiv mit einer Zunahme des Infarktausmaßes assoziiert war (r=0,42, p=0,0033). Wir fanden eine alkaline Tendenz des zerebralen pH (+0,14%, pHischämisch=7,38 vs. pHsystemisch=7,37, p=0,0019), mit einer zeitabhängigen Verschiebung in den azidotischen Bereich (r=-0,36, p=0,0549).
Schlussfolgernd deuten unsere Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass die durch den Schlaganfall verursachten Veränderungen der zerebralen Sauerstoffversorgung, der Ionenzusammensetzung und des Säure-Basen-Gleichgewichts dynamisch auftreten, während der okklusiven Ischämie fortschreiten und mit der akuten Gewebeschädigung im Zusammenhang stehen. Wünschenswert sind weitere prospektive Studien, um die Ergebnisse valide zu reproduzieren.
In dieser Arbeit wurde einerseits retrospektiv untersucht, wie sich supratentorielle und infratentorielle Ependymome bildmorphologisch unterscheiden, ob Lokalrezidive eines Ependymoms dessen Bildeigenschaften teilen und welche Art von Rezidiven im Verlauf auftreten können. Die von uns beschriebenen Bildcharakteristika der Ependymome decken sich zum größten Teil mit bereits veröffentlichten Studien. Supratentorielle Ependymome unterscheiden sich signifikant in ihrer Bildmorphologie im Vergleich zu Ependymome der hintern Schädelgrube. Alle pädiatrischen Ependymompatienten/innen in unserem Kollektiv erkrankten an mindestens einem Rezidiv. Am häufigsten traten Lokalrezidive gefolgt von Meningeosen im ersten Rezidiv auf. Seltener fanden sich transiente postradiogene Läsionen, Diffuse intrinsische Ponsgliome und extraneurale Metastasen. Der bildmorphologische Vergleich, Primarius versus Lokalrezidiv ergab überwiegend ähnliche bildgebende Eigenschaften vor allem im Signalverhalten, Tumorbegrenzung und KM-Aufnahme sowie KM anreichernder Tumoranteil. Die kranielle Meningeose präsentierte sich zum ersten Rezidivzeitpunkt different zum Primärtumor. Die extraneuralen Metastasen hatten bildcharakteristisch Ähnlichkeiten zum Primärtumor. Bei der Bewertung neuer intraparenchymaler Läsionen sollte immer der zeitliche Zusammenhang zur letzten Therapie und damit mögliche vorübergehende postradiologischen Veränderungen berücksichtigt werden.
Letztlich ist das pädiatrische Ependymom und Ependymomrezidiv ein komplexes und immer noch unvollständiges erfasstes Krankheitsbild. Durch umfangreichere Studien und die Zusammenführung dieser Ergebnisse könnte schlussendlich die Komplexität des Krankheitsbildes und somit die Therapieoptionen verbessert werden. Durch unsere Studie gelang einerseits die Beschreibung und der Vergleich des primären Ependymoms bezüglich supra- und infratentorieller Lokalisation und andererseits gelang eine neuroradiologische Beschreibung von Ependymomrezidiven im Vergleich zum primären Ependymom, wodurch in Zukunft die Nachsorge der Ependymomrezidive und die Therapieoptionen optimiert werden könnten.
Now that mechanical thrombectomy has substantially improved outcomes after large-vessel occlusion stroke in up to every second patient, futile reperfusion wherein successful recanalization is not followed by a favorable outcome is moving into focus. Unfortunately, blood-based biomarkers, which identify critical stages of hemodynamically compromised yet reperfused tissue, are lacking. We recently reported that hypoxia induces the expression of endoglin, a TGF-β co-receptor, in human brain endothelium in vitro. Subsequent reoxygenation resulted in shedding. Our cell model suggests that soluble endoglin compromises the brain endothelial barrier function. To evaluate soluble endoglin as a potential biomarker of reperfusion (-injury) we analyzed its concentration in 148 blood samples of patients with acute stroke due to large-vessel occlusion. In line with our in vitro data, systemic soluble endoglin concentrations were significantly higher in patients with successful recanalization, whereas hypoxia alone did not induce local endoglin shedding, as analyzed by intra-arterial samples from hypoxic vasculature. In patients with reperfusion, higher concentrations of soluble endoglin additionally indicated larger infarct volumes at admission. In summary, we give translational evidence that the sequence of hypoxia and subsequent reoxygenation triggers the release of vasoactive soluble endoglin in large-vessel occlusion stroke and can serve as a biomarker for severe ischemia with ensuing recanalization/reperfusion.
Objective
Blindness is a feared complication of giant cell arteritis (GCA). However, the spectrum of pathologic orbital imaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in GCA is not well understood. In this study, we assess inflammatory changes of intraorbital structures on black blood MRI (BB-MRI) in patients with GCA compared to age-matched controls.
Methods
In this multicenter case-control study, 106 subjects underwent BB-MRI. Fifty-six patients with clinically or histologically diagnosed GCA and 50 age-matched controls without clinical or laboratory evidence of vasculitis were included. All individuals were imaged on a 3-T MR scanner with a post-contrast compressed-sensing (CS) T1-weighted sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolution (SPACE) BB-MRI sequence. Imaging results were correlated with available clinical symptoms.
Results
Eighteen of 56 GCA patients (32%) showed inflammatory changes of at least one of the intraorbital structures. The most common finding was enhancement of at least one of the optic nerve sheaths (N = 13, 72%). Vessel wall enhancement of the ophthalmic artery was unilateral in 8 and bilateral in 3 patients. Enhancement of the optic nerve was observed in one patient. There was no significant correlation between imaging features of inflammation and clinically reported orbital symptoms (p = 0.10). None of the age-matched control patients showed any inflammatory changes of intraorbital structures.
Conclusions
BB-MRI revealed inflammatory findings in the orbits in up to 32% of patients with GCA. Optic nerve sheath enhancement was the most common intraorbital inflammatory change on BB-MRI. MRI findings were independent of clinically reported orbital symptoms.
Key Points
• Up to 32% of GCA patients shows signs of inflammation of intraorbital structures on BB-MRI.
• Enhancement of the optic nerve sheath is the most common intraorbital finding in GCA patients on BB-MRI.
• Features of inflammation of intraorbital structures are independent of clinically reported symptoms.
Automated analysis of the inner ear anatomy in radiological data instead of time-consuming manual assessment is a worthwhile goal that could facilitate preoperative planning and clinical research. We propose a framework encompassing joint semantic segmentation of the inner ear and anatomical landmark detection of helicotrema, oval and round window. A fully automated pipeline with a single, dual-headed volumetric 3D U-Net was implemented, trained and evaluated using manually labeled in-house datasets from cadaveric specimen (N = 43) and clinical practice (N = 9). The model robustness was further evaluated on three independent open-source datasets (N = 23 + 7 + 17 scans) consisting of cadaveric specimen scans. For the in-house datasets, Dice scores of 0.97 and 0.94, intersection-over-union scores of 0.94 and 0.89 and average Hausdorf distances of 0.065 and 0.14 voxel units were achieved. The landmark localization task was performed automatically with an average localization error of 3.3 and 5.2 voxel units. A robust, albeit reduced performance could be
attained for the catalogue of three open-source datasets. Results of the ablation studies with 43 mono-parametric variations of the basal architecture and training protocol provided task-optimal parameters for both categories. Ablation studies against single-task variants of the basal architecture showed a clear performance beneft of coupling landmark localization with segmentation and a dataset-dependent performance impact on segmentation ability.
Minimally invasive endovascular interventions have become an important tool for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease, peripheral artery disease, and stroke. X-ray fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography are used to precisely guide these procedures, but they are associated with radiation exposure for patients and clinical staff. Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is an emerging imaging technology using time-varying magnetic fields combined with magnetic nanoparticle tracers for fast and highly sensitive imaging. In recent years, basic experiments have shown that MPI has great potential for cardiovascular applications. However, commercially available MPI scanners were too large and expensive and had a small field of view (FOV) designed for rodents, which limited further translational research. The first human-sized MPI scanner designed specifically for brain imaging showed promising results but had limitations in gradient strength, acquisition time and portability. Here, we present a portable interventional MPI (iMPI) system dedicated for real-time endovascular interventions free of ionizing radiation. It uses a novel field generator approach with a very large FOV and an application-oriented open design enabling hybrid approaches with conventional X-ray-based angiography. The feasibility of a real-time iMPI-guided percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is shown in a realistic dynamic human-sized leg model.
Background
It is unknown whether technological advancement of stent-retriever devices influences typical observational indicators of safety or effectiveness.
Methods
Observational retrospective study of APERIO® (AP) vs. new generation APERIO® Hybrid (APH) (Acandis®, Pforzheim, Germany) stent-retriever device (01/2019–09/2020) for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. Primary effectiveness endpoint was successful recanalization eTICI (expanded Thrombolysis In Cerebral Ischemia) ≥ 2b67, primary safety endpoint was occurrence of hemorrhagic complications after MT. Secondary outcome measures were time from groin puncture to first pass and successful reperfusion, and the total number of passes needed to achieve the final recanalization result.
Results
A total of 298 patients with LVO stroke who were treated by MT matched the inclusion criteria: 148 patients (49.7%) treated with AP vs. 150 patients (50.3%) treated with new generation APH. Successful recanalization was not statistically different between both groups: 75.7% for AP vs. 79.3% for APH; p = 0.450. Postinterventional hemorrhagic complications and particularly subarachnoid hemorrhage as the entity possibly associated with stent-retriever device type was significantly less frequent in the group treated with the APH: 29.7% for AP and 16.0% for APH; p = 0.005; however, rates of symptomatic hemorrhage with clinical deterioration and in domo mortality were not statistically different. Neither the median number of stent-retriever passages needed to achieve final recanalization, time from groin puncture to first pass, time from groin puncture to final recanalization nor the number of cases in which successful recanalization could only be achieved by using a different stent-retriever as bail-out device differed between both groups.
Conclusion
In the specific example of the APERIO® stent-retriever device, we observed that further technological developments of the new generation device were not associated with disadvantages with respect to typical observational indicators of safety or effectiveness.
Background
Mucopolysaccharidosis type III (Sanfilippo syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder, caused by a deficiency in the heparan-N-sulfatase enzyme involved in the catabolism of the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate. It is characterized by early nonspecific neuropsychiatric symptoms, followed by progressive neurocognitive impairment in combination with only mild somatic features. In this patient group with a broad clinical spectrum a significant genotype-phenotype correlation with some mutations leading to a slower progressive, attenuated course has been demonstrated.
Case presentation
Our patient had complications in the neonatal period and was diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIa only at the age of 28 years. He was compound heterozygous for the variants p.R245H and p.S298P, the latter having been shown to lead to a significantly milder phenotype.
Conclusions
The diagnostic delay is even more prolonged in this patient population with comorbidities and a slowly progressive course of the disease.
Objectives
Vessel wall enhancement (VWE) may be commonly seen on MRI images of asymptomatic subjects. This study aimed to characterize the VWE of the proximal internal carotid (ICA) and vertebral arteries (VA) in a non-vasculitic elderly patient cohort.
Methods
Cranial MRI scans at 3 Tesla were performed in 43 patients (aged ≥ 50 years) with known malignancy for exclusion of cerebral metastases. For vessel wall imaging (VWI), a high-resolution compressed-sensing black-blood 3D T1-weighted fast (turbo) spin echo sequence (T1 CS-SPACE prototype) was applied post gadolinium with an isotropic resolution of 0.55 mm. Bilateral proximal intradural ICA and VA segments were evaluated for presence, morphology, and longitudinal extension of VWE.
Results
Concentric VWE of the proximal intradural ICA was found in 13 (30%) patients, and of the proximal intradural VA in 39 (91%) patients. Mean longitudinal extension of VWE after dural entry was 13 mm in the VA and 2 mm in the ICA. In 14 of 39 patients (36%) with proximal intradural VWE, morphology of VWE was suggestive of the mere presence of vasa vasorum. In 25 patients (64 %), morphology indicated atherosclerotic lesions in addition to vasa vasorum.
Conclusions
Vasa vasorum may account for concentric VWE within the proximal 2 mm of the ICA and 13 mm of the VA after dural entry in elderly subjects. Concentric VWE in these locations should not be confused with large artery vasculitis. Distal to these segments, VWE may be more likely related to pathologic conditions such as vasculitis.
