  • Objective: Intracranial atherosclerotic stroke occurs through various mechanisms, mainly by artery-to-artery embolism (AA) or branch occlusive disease (BOD). This study evaluated the spatial relationship between middle cerebral artery (MCA) plaques and perforating arteries among different MCA territory infarction types using vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VW-MRI). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with acute MCA infarction who underwent VW-MRI. Thirty-four patients were divided into three groups according to infarction pattern: 1) BOD, 2) both BOD and AA (BOD-AA), and 3) AA. To determine the factors related to BOD, the BOD and BOD-AA groups were combined into one group (with striatocapsular infarction [BOD+]) and compared with the AA group. To determine the factors related to AA, the BOD-AA and AA groups were combined into another group (with cortical infarction [AA+]) and compared with the BOD group. Plaque morphology and the spatial relationship between the perforating artery orifice and plaque were evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: The plaque margin in the BOD+ group was closer to the perforating artery orifice than that in the AA group (p = 0.011), with less enhancing plaque (p = 0.030). In the BOD group, plaques were mainly located on the dorsal (41.2%) and superior (41.2%) sides where the perforating arteries mainly arose. No patient in the AA group had overlapping plaques with perforating arteries at the cross-section where the perforator arose. Perforating arteries associated with culprit plaques were most frequently located in the middle two-thirds of the M1 segment (41.4%). The AA+ group had more stenosis (%) than the BOD group (39.73 ± 24.52 vs. 14.42 ± 20.96; p = 0.003). Conclusion: The spatial relationship between the perforating artery orifice and plaque varied among different types of MCA territory infarctions. In patients with BOD, the plaque margin was closer and blocked the perforating artery orifice, and stenosis degree and enhancement were less than those in patients with AA.

  • In this study, we aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of propolis purified from honeybee hives, on photothrombotic cortical ischemic injury in mice. Permanent focal ischemia was achieved in the medial frontal and somatosensory cortices of anesthetized male C57BL/6 mice by irradiation of the skull with cold light laser in combination with systemic administration of rose bengal. The animals were treated with CAPE (0.5-5 mg/kg, i.p.) twice 1 and 6 h after ischemic insult. CAPE significantly reduced the infarct size as well as the expression of tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$, hypoxiainducible $factor-1{\alpha}$ monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, $interleukin-1{\alpha}$, and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in the cerebral cortex ipsilateral to the photothrombosis. Moreover, it induced an increase in heme oxygenase-1 immunoreactivity and interleukin-10 expression. These results suggest that CAPE exerts a remarkable neuroprotective effect on ischemic brain injury via its anti-inflammatory properties, thereby providing a benefit to the therapy of cerebral infarction.

  • The effect of ischemia/reperfusion-induced neuronal damage on the memory impairment were investigated using active avoidance and Morris water maze tasks in Wistar rats. Focal ischemia was induced by 1 h occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) of Wistar male rats. Reperfusion was induced by releasing the occlusion and restoring the blood circulation for 24 h. The acquisition and preservation memory tested by active avoidance showed a significant difference between the sham and ischemia/reperfusion group. The water maze acquisition performance was also significant difference between sham and ischemia/repefusion groups in both latency and moving distance. The infarction volume was increased by the ischemia/reperfusion. Furthermore, the cresyl violet staining of the ischemia/reperfusion brain showed severe neuronal damage (pyramidal cell loss) in the cortex in addition to the striatum lesion of brain. This study shows that pyramidal cell damage in the cortex lesion may be partially related to memorial disturbance in the ischemia/reperfusion brain injury.

  • Objective : Middle cerebral artery occlusion[MCAO] has widely been used to produce ischemic brain lesions. The lesions induced by MCAO tend to be variable in size because of the variance in the collateral blood supply found in the mouse brain. To establish a less invasive and reproducible focal ischemia model in mice, we modified the technique used for rat photo thrombosis model. Methods : Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to focal cerebral ischemia by photothrombosis of cortical microvessels. Cerebral infarction was produced by intraperitoneal injection of Rose Bengal, a photosensitive dye and by focal illumination through the skull. Motor impairment was assessed by the accelerating rotarod and staircase tests. The brain was perfusion-fixed for histological determination of infarct volume four weeks after stroke. Results : The lesion was located in the frontal and parietal cortex and the underlying white matter was partly affected. A relatively constant infarct volume was achieved one month after photothrombosis. The presence of the photothrombotic lesion was associated with severe impairment of the motor performance measured by the rotarod and staircase tests. Conclusion : Photothrombotic infarction in mice is highly reproducible in size and location. This procedure can provide a simple method to produce cerebral infarction in a unilateral motor cortex lesion. In addition, it can provide a suitable model for study of potential neuroprotective and therapeutic agents in human stroke.

  • 저자들은 뇌졸중후 우울증보다 매우 드물게 발생하는 뇌졸중후 양극성장애 증례를 경험하여 보고하였다. 좌반구 기저핵 뇌경색이후 뇌졸중후 우울증을 앓아오던 환자에서 조증 에피소드가 발병하여 원인을 규명하는 과정에서 자기공명영상을 시행한 결과, 이차성 양극 성장애와 연관되는 것으로 보고되어온 우반구 기저핵의 새로운 뇌경색이 밝혀졌다. 한 환자에서 좌반구 뇌졸중이후 우울증, 우반구 뇌졸중이후 양극성장애의 발생이 시간적 연관성을 보였으며, 한편 뇌졸중후 우울증과 이차성 양극성장애 각각이 병변 위치와 특이한 연관성을 보여주고 있다. 문헌 고찰에 의하면, 이차성 조증이 주로 피질의 병변과 연관성을 보이는 반면, 양극성 장애는 피질하 병변에서 호발하는 것으로 보고되어왔으며, 이차성 조종의 위험인자로는 정신장애의 가족력과 경한 피질하 위축이 제시되었다. 이 증례에서도 우반구 피질하 병변과 경한 피질하 위축이 관찰되었다. 뇌졸중 병변위치와 기분장애의 상관성 및 위험인자에 대한 연구는, 일차성 기분장애의 신경생물학적 연구에 기여할 수 있을 것이며, 임상에서도 뇌졸중 환자의 정신증상 치료에서 조중 유발의 위험성을 인식하는데 도움이 될수 있을 것이다.

  • 목적: 급성 뇌경색 환자의 자화율강조영상에서 보이는 관류 손상 부위의 현저한 유출정맥 저신호 강도 (PHSV)의 임상적 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 확산강조영상과 자화율강조영상을 포함한 뇌 자기공명영상을 시행한 급성 뇌경색 환자에서 추적 단면영상검사가 있는 환자 18명을 대상으로 뇌경색 및 주변부에서 PHSV 유무와 위치를 정성적으로 확인하였다. 자화율강조영상에서 PHSV와 정상 뇌피질 정맥의 신호강도차이 비율을 측정하였고, 주변 PHSV 유무와 추적검사에서 뇌경색 크기 변화의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과: 18명의 환자 중 10명의 환자가 추적검사에서 뇌경색이 진행하였고, 8명은 변화가 없었다. 뇌경색이 진행한 10명의 환자 중 9명에서 뇌경색 주변 PHSV가 관찰되었고, 새로 생긴 경색 부위는 초기 자화율강조영상에서 보였던 주변 PHSV 부위와 잘 일치하였다. 경색의 크기가 변화 없는 환자군과 비교하여 경색이 진행한 환자군에서 뇌경색 주변 PHSV의 빈도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았고 (p=0.0001), 신호강도차이 비율도 유의하게 높았다 (p=0.006). 결론: 자화율강조영상에서 보이는 주변 PHSV는 반음영부 (penumbra)의 지표가 될수 있으며 급성 뇌경색 예후 예측에 이용될 수 있다.
