White Matter Injury after Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10%-30% of all types of stroke. Bleeding within the brain parenchyma causes gray matter (GM) destruction as well as proximal or distal white matter (WM) injury (WMI) due to complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Because WM has a distinct cellular architecture, blood supply pattern and corresponding function, and its response to stroke may vary from that of GM, a better understanding of the characteristics of WMI following ICH is essential and may shed new light on treatment options. Current evidence using histological, radiological and chemical biomarkers clearly confirms the spatio-temporal distribution of WMI post- ICH. Although certain types of pathological damage such as inflammatory, oxidative and neuro-excitotoxic injury to WM have been identified, the exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this review article, we briefly describe the constitution and physiological function of brain WM, summarize evidence regarding WMI, and focus on the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

White Matter Injury and Recovery after Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) could very probably trigger white matter injury in patients. Through the continuous study of white matter injury after hypertensive ICH, we achieve a more profound understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism of its occurrence and development. At the same time, we found a series of drugs and treatment methods for the white matter repair. In the c...
متن کاملDeferoxamine attenuates white matter injury in a piglet intracerebral hemorrhage model.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Deferoxamine reduces neuronal death in a piglet model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study examined the effect of deferoxamine on perihematomal white matter edema in piglets. METHODS ICH was induced by an injection of autologous blood into the right frontal lobe of piglets. In the first part of study, the time course of edema formation was determined. In the se...
متن کاملAcute ischaemic brain lesions in intracerebral haemorrhage: multicentre cross-sectional magnetic resonance imaging study.
Subclinical acute ischaemic lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging have recently been described in spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage, and may be important to understand pathophysiology and guide treatment. The underlying mechanisms are uncertain. We tested the hypothesis that ischaemic lesions are related to magnetic resonance imaging markers of the severity and type of small-vessel di...

Intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a particularly severe type of stroke accounting for 10–15 % of all strokes and is associated with a mortality rate of 30–50%. Neuroinflammation contributes to ICH-induced secondary brain injury and understanding the mechanisms causing neuroinflammation can be helpful to find new treatments of ICH. Recent studies demonstrated that toll like receptor...
متن کاملDeferoxamine reduces intracerebral hematoma-induced iron accumulation and neuronal death in piglets.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our previous studies found that deferoxamine reduces intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)-induced brain injury in rats. The current study examined whether deferoxamine reduces brain injury in a piglet ICH model. METHODS Pigs received an injection of autologous blood into the right frontal lobe. Deferoxamine (50 mg/kg, IM) or vehicle was administered 2 hours after ICH and then...
