چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Iron contributes to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Because ICH may occur in the context of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), a common nutritional disorder, the purpose of this study was to determine whether IDA in rats affects brain edema, functional behavior, and changes in brain iron-handling proteins after ICH. METHODS Six-week-old male rats (n=75) were randomized to non-IDA or IDA groups and provided iron-sufficient or -deficient diets, respectively. After 1 month, 100 microL autologous blood was infused into the right basal ganglia (BG). Brains removed at days 1, 3, 7, and 28 after ICH were assessed for regional brain water content and BG transferrin and transferrin receptor concentrations (Western blotting). Sensorimotor measures of functional recovery were assessed. RESULTS Brain water content was increased for IDA versus non-IDA in injured cortex and BG at day 3 (P<0.05). IDA rats had impaired left forepaw placing and more asymmetric forelimb use versus non-IDA after ICH (P<0.05). Transferrin and transferrin receptor concentrations in the BG were increased for IDA versus non-IDA within the first week (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Rats with IDA have greater brain edema, poorer sensorimotor outcome, and a greater expression of iron regulatory proteins than non-IDA rats after ICH, suggesting brain iron status is a determinant of injury severity and recovery.

P84: Effect of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) as a Microglia-Derived Anti-Iinflammatory Ccytokine on Improving Memory Impairment Following Hippocampal Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rat

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) as a microglia-derived anti-inflammatory cytokine has a pivotal activity in memory consolidation. However, there is limited evidence on brain cell-originated IGF2 expression, regulation and function in pathological condition and neuro-inflammation. Hence, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of IGF2 on improving the memory impairment in a...

The relationship between the serum levels of ferritin and the radiological brain injury indices in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage

Objective(s): Preclinical studies show that iron plays a key role in mediating neuronal injury. This study was performedin order to identify the relationship between the serum level of ferritin and severity of the brain injury which occur after an Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Materials and Methods:This was a cross sectional descriptive – analytic study, which was conducted on those patients ...

Therapeutic Benefit of Intravenous Administration of Human Umbilical Cord Blood- Mononuclear Cells Following Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rat

Objective(s) Human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) is now considered as a valuable source for stem cell–based therapies. Previous studies showed that intravascular injection of the HUCB significantly improves neurological functional recovery in a rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In the present study, we hypothesize transplanted HUCB derived mononuclear cells (UC-MCs) can decrease injur...

Effects of sulfaphenazole after collagenase-induced experimental intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.

Treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage is often pointless, although considerable effort has been devoted to developing treatments for ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of drugs in improving neurological outcomes with pharmaceutical therapy after intracerebral hemorrhage. The free-radical hypothesis for intracerebral hemorrhage is based on the cytotoxicity ...

Role of iron in brain injury after intraventricular hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intraventricular extension of hemorrhage is a predictor of poor outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage, and iron overload contributes to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. The current study investigated the role of iron in ventricular dilatation and neuronal death in a rat model of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). METHODS There were 2 parts in this study. First...
