    Abstract: Background: We aimed to investigate the associations of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (TLR2/4), and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) with 3-month poor outcome, death, and malignant cerebral edema (MCE) in ... ...

    Abstract Background: We aimed to investigate the associations of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (TLR2/4), and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) with 3-month poor outcome, death, and malignant cerebral edema (MCE) in patients with large hemispheric infarction (LHI).
    Methods: Patients with LHI within 24 h of onset were enrolled consecutively. Serum MIF, TLR2/4, and MMP9 concentrations on admission were measured. Poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of ≥ 3 at 3 months. MCE was defined as a decreased level of consciousness, anisocoria and midline shift > 5 mm or basal cistern effacement, or indications for decompressive craniectomy during hospitalization. The cutoff values for MIF/MMP9 were obtained from the receiver operating characteristic curve.
    Results: Of the 130 patients with LHI enrolled, 90 patients (69.2%) had 3-month poor outcome, and MCE occurred in 55 patients (42.3%). Patients with serum MIF concentrations ≤ 7.82 ng/mL for predicting 3-month poor outcome [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.827, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.144-6.990, p = 0.024] also distinguished death (adjusted OR 4.329, 95% CI 1.841-10.178, p = 0.001). Similarly, MMP9 concentrations ≤ 46.56 ng/mL for predicting 3-month poor outcome (adjusted OR 2.814, 95% CI 1.236-6.406, p = 0.014) also distinguished 3-month death (adjusted OR 3.845, 95% CI 1.534-9.637, p = 0.004).
    Conclusions: Lower serum MIF and MMP9 concentrations at an early stage were independently associated with 3-month poor outcomes and death in patients with LHI. These findings need further confirmation in larger sample studies.

    Abstract Introduction: Large hemispheric infarction (LHI) can lead to fatal complications such as malignant brain edema (MBE). We aimed to investigate the correlation between heart-rate-to-blood-pressure ratios and MBE or one-month death after LHI.
    Methods: We prospectively included LHI patients from a registered cohort. Hourly heart-rate-to-blood-pressure ratios were recorded as a variation of the traditional shock index (SI), SI
    Results: Of the included 162 LHI patients, 28.4% (46/162) developed MBE and 25.3% (40/158) died within one month. SI
    Conclusions: Higher and more fluctuated heart-rate-to-blood-pressure ratios independently correlated with MBE development and one-month death in LHI patients, especially during the second 12 h (13-24 h) epoch after onset.

    Abstract Background: Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is an inflammatory disorder with unclear causes. Paraneoplastic etiology may be a cause. We report a case of CLIPPERS with parotid carcinoma.
    Case presentation: A 54-year-old man with a history of lymphoma was hospitalized with a pontocerebellar syndrome. Brain MRI revealed that the pons and cerebellum were "peppered" with punctate and curvilinear enhancement lesions that supported the diagnosis of CLIPPERS. The relapse of lymphoma was excluded by a further cerebellum biopsy revealing predominantly CD3+ T cells in white matter. The patient was relieved after pulse therapy with intravenous methylprednisolone and a large dose of corticosteroids, but he complained of a worsening gait problem when corticosteroids were tapered to a lower dose. Although the clinical symptoms gradually improved again by increasing the dosage of corticosteroids with Azathioprine, the patient still had a slight unsteady gait during follow-up. At the 7-month follow-up, a parotid mass was detected by MRI and was verified as carcinoma by biopsy. After resection of parotid carcinoma, the residual symptoms and previous MRI lesions disappeared, and no relapse occurred.
    Conclusions: CLIPPERS may not be a distinct nosologic entity but an overlapping diagnosis with other diseases. Some cases of CLIPPERS might be a subtype of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) due to the similar mechanism of antibody-mediated encephalitis. Tumor screening and serum paraneoplastic autoantibody tests are recommended for patients with CLIPPERS, especially for those who relapse when corticosteroids treatment is stopped or tapered.

    Abstract Purpose: Plasma osmolality, a marker of dehydration, is associated with cardiovascular mortality. We aimed to investigate whether elevated plasma osmolality is associated with case fatality within 1 year after severe acute ischemic stroke.
    Materials and methods: We included severe ischemic stroke patients (defined as National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ≥15 score) within 24 hours from symptom onset admitted to the Department of Neurology, West China Hospital between January 2017 and June 2019. Admission plasma osmolality was calculated using the equation 1.86*(sodium+potassium)+1.15*glucose+urea+14. Elevated plasma osmolality was defined as plasma osmolality >296 mOsm/kg, indicating a state of dehydration. Study outcomes included 3-month and 1-year case fatalities. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine independent associations between plasma osmolality and case fatalities at different time points.
    Results: A total of 265 patients with severe acute ischemic stroke were included. The mean age was 71.2±13.1 years, with 51.3% being males. Among the included patients, case fatalities were recorded for 31.7% (84/265) at 3 months and 39.6% (105/265) at 1 year. Elevated plasma osmolality (dehydration) was associated with 3-month case fatality [odds ratio (OR) 1.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-3.66,
    Conclusion: Elevated plasma osmolality was independently associated with 3-month case fatality, but not 1-year case fatality, for severe acute ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Background: Limited data exist on the significance of acute cerebral microinfarcts (A-CMIs) in the context of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to determine the profile and prognostic significance of A-CMIs on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients presenting with AIS.
    Methods: A prospective single-center series of patients with AIS who had 3T MRIs between March 2013 and December 2019. The presence, number, and location of A-CMIs on diffusion-weighted imaging, and markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), macroinfarcts features, and etiology were classified as cardioembolism (CE) or large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) or none.
    Results: Among 273 patients, A-CMIs were detected in 130 patients (47.6%), of whom cortical A-CMIs were found in 95 (73.0%) patients. Patients with A-CMIs were significantly older, less likely to have diabetes mellitus, and more likely to have atrial fibrillation and an embolic source (CE or LAA) compared to other patients. Patients with A-CMI had a higher frequency of macroinfarcts (diameter >20 mm), more often multiple and distributed in single or multiple vessel territories than other patients. An embolic source (LAA or CE) was independently associated with cortical A-CMIs (LAA adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.0 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.6-9.5; CE aOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1-5.6), whereas lacunes were independently related to subcortical A-CMIs (aOR 2.6, 95% CI 1.2-5.8).
    Conclusions: We have shown A-CMIs occur in cortical and subcortical regions in nearly half of AIS patients, where microembolism and CSVD are, respectively, the key presumed etiological mechanism.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Absolute hyperglycemia at admission has been shown to be associated with the development of cerebral edema (CED) after acute cerebral infarction. Stress hyperglycemia is a more objective reflection of hyperglycemic state than absolute hyperglycemia. However, studies on the associations between stress hyperglycemia and CED are limited. We aimed to explore the associations of stress hyperglycemia, measured by stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), with the development of CED and poor functional outcome of acute cerebral infarction.
    Methods: Patients with acute middle artery cerebral infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, within 24 h of symptom onset from January 2017 to March 2021 were included. Stress hyperglycemia was assessed by the SHR: admission fasting plasma glucose (FPG)/hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The primary outcome was the degree of CED evaluated on brain image. The secondary outcomes were moderate-to-severe CED, poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score > 2), and death at 90 days. The associations between the SHR and outcomes were assessed with multivariate logistic regression analyses. We further compared the predictive value of the SHR, admission random plasma glucose (RPG), and admission FPG for outcomes in the training dataset and validation dataset.
    Results: 638 patients were enrolled. Each 0.1-point increase in the SHR was independently associated with a 1.31-fold increased risk of a higher degree of CED [odds ratio (OR): 1.31 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20-1.42),
    Conclusion: The SHR is independently associated with the severity of CED, poor functional outcome, and death after acute cerebral infarction, and the SHR (as a continuous variable) has a better predictive value for moderate-to-severe CED and poor functional outcome than the RPG and FPG.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) variants and lamotrigine (LTG)-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cARDs).
    Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on the relationship of HLA alleles with LTG-induced cADRs in Asian populations, through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. The last search was in February 2018. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was used to access the strength of the association between an HLA allele and LTG-induced cADRs.
    Results: A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in our meta- analysis, which were based on Chinese, Korean, and Thai populations. Among these populations, we observed that HLA-B*1502 is a risk allele for LTG-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) in Chinese populations (pooled OR 2.4, 95% CI: 1.20-4.78, P = 0.01), HLA-A*2402 was found to be a significant risk allele for both SJS/TEN (pooled OR 3.50, 95% CI: 1.61-7.59, P = 0.002) and maculopapular eruption (MPE) (pooled OR 2.14, 95% CI: 1.10-4.16, P = 0.03), and HLA-B*3303 was considered to be a protective marker for MPE in Chinese and Korean populations (pooled OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.06-0.64, P = 0.007).
    Conclusions: In Asian populations, HLA-B*1502 is a risk factor for LTG-induced bullous lesions such as SJS/TEN in Chinese populations, and HLA-A*2402 is associated with the susceptibility to either SJS/TEN or MPE. HLA-A*3303 is a protective allele against LTG-induced MPE in Chinese and Korean populations.
