    摘要:The Japan Neurosurgical Database (JND) is a prospective observational study registry established in 2017 by the Japan Neurosurgical Society (JNS) to visualize real-world clinical practice, promote science, and improve the quality of care and neurosurgery board certification in Japan. We summarize JND’s aims and methods, and describes the 2018 survey results. The JND registered in-hospital patients’ clinical data mainly from JNS training institutions in 2018. Caseload, patient demographics, and in-hospital outcomes of the overall cohort and a neurosurgical subgroup were examined according to major classifications of main diagnosis. Neurosurgical caseload per neurosurgeon in training in core hospitals in 2018 was calculated as an indicator of neurosurgical training. Of 523,283 cases (male 55.3%) registered from 1360 participating institutions, the neurosurgical subgroup comprised of 33.9%. Among the major classifications, cerebrovascular diseases comprised the largest proportion overall and in the neurosurgical subgroup (53.1%, 41.0%, respectively), followed by neurotrauma (19.1%, 25.5%), and brain tumor (10.4%, 12.8%). Functional neurosurgery (6.4%, 3.7%), spinal and peripheral nerve disorders (5.1%, 10.1%), hydrocephalus/developmental anomalies (2.9%, 5.3%), and encephalitis/infection/inflammatory and miscellaneous diseases (2.9%, 1.6%) comprised smaller proportions. Most patients were aged 70–79 years in the overall cohort and neurosurgical subgroup (27.8%, 29.4%). Neurotrauma and cerebrovascular diseases in the neurosurgical subgroup comprised a higher and lower proportion, respectively, than in the overall cohort in elderly patients (e.g. 80 years, 46.9% vs. 33.5%, 26.8% vs. 54.4%). The 2018 median neurosurgical caseload per neurosurgeon in training was 80.7 (25–75th percentile 51.5–117.5). These initial results from 2018 reveal unique aspects of neurosurgical practice in Japan.

    摘要:In Japan, the era of thrombectomy for acute stroke started when the Merci retriever was approved in 2010 and the Penumbra system in 2011. New-generation Penumbra catheters (MAX series) and stent retrievers were introduced in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The aim of this study was to clarify the general status and trends in endovascular reperfusion therapy for stroke in Japan from 2010 to 2014. We extracted a total of 3705 patients (72.1 ± 12.2 years, 1482 women) from a nationwide study of patients receiving any neuroendovascular treatment, the Japanese Registry of NeuroEndovascular Therapy 3. Reperfusion therapy resulted in a successful reperfusion rate of 59%, and 31% of patients achieved a favorable outcome at 30 days of onset. The frequency of Merci-including procedures increased to 52% in the first half of 2011, but conversely decreased to 1% in the second half of 2014. The frequency of Penumbra-including procedures increased from 18% in the second half of 2011 to 67% in the first half of 2014, decreasing to 38% in the second half of 2014. The reperfusion rate and 30-day clinical outcomes remained almost unchanged until June 2013, and started to improve thereafter, coincident with the introduction and spread of newer-generation devices. The rate of successful reperfusion reached 71–76%, and 36–38% of patients achieved a favorable outcome in 2014. After multivariate adjustment for preprocedure variables, the calendar period from 2013 to 2014 was significantly associated with improvement in reperfusion rates and clinical outcomes.

    摘要:Cysts of the septum pellucidum (CSP) are usually asymptomatic; however, in some cases they can begin expanding and cause neurological deterioration. The mechanism leading to the formation of an expanding cyst of the septum pellucidum (ECSP) is not known. Based on observations made during endoscopic treatment of ECSP we analyzed intraoperative findings in respect to cyst formation mechanism and treatment prognosis. A group of 31 patients was studied. Only cases with bulging cyst walls occupying the frontal horns observed on imaging studies were included. The main symptom was a severe, intermittent headache. In three cases short term memory deficits were diagnosed. In one case papilloedema was observed. All patients underwent endoscopic fenestration of the ECSP. There were no cases of cyst reocclusion during a follow-up period of 1–14 years (mean 6.2 years). In 30 cases headaches resolved completely and in one case its intensity was significantly smaller. There was one case of postoperative hemiparesis. In all but two cases the thin, translucent region in the anterior part of the cyst floor was found. In the region small fissures and in three cases choroid plexus were observed. Endoscopic fenestration is the efficient treatment for ECSP. ECSP is formed on the basis of not completely closed, developmental communication of the cyst with other fluid spaces. The communication is opened by transient elevation of intraventricular pressure, and acts as a valve leading to fluid accumulation among the walls of the previously asymptomatic cavum septum pellucidum.

    摘要:The purpose of this study was to investigate the in-hospital acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) that developed in another thrombectomy-incapable hospital, treated by mechanical thrombectomy after inter-hospital transfer. In eight other hospital-onset LVO patients, clinical characteristics, treatment results, and the timeline of thrombectomy were retrospectively investigated and compared to the results of 17 patients developed LVO at our own hospital and 18 developed in the community. In the analysis of timeline, the mean recognition-to-arrival time in other hospital-onset patients was 169 ± 78 min, significantly longer than for the community-onset patients (79 ± 78 min). Arrival-to-puncture time was 42 ± 19 min, significantly shorter than for the own hospital-onset patients (166 ± 80 min) and the community-onset patients (155 ± 76 min). Recognition-to-puncture times for the other hospital-onset patients, the own hospital-onset patients, and the community-onset patients were 212 ± 74, 166 ± 80, and 216 ± 83 min, respectively, and recognition-to-recanalization times were 285 ± 73, 200 ± 81, and 275 ± 125 min. Both these times were shorter for the own hospital-onset patients. The rates of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0–2 in the three groups were 12%, 30%, and 23%, respectively. The rate of mRS 0–2 was lowest in the other hospital-onset patients. In conclusion, the other hospital-onset patients required additional time for their initial management and inter-hospital transfer although arrival-to-puncture time was shorter. Favorable outcomes were observed less frequently in them. Improving inter-hospital cooperation systems and to educate the medical staff in a thrombectomy-incapable hospital concerning stroke management is important measures for other hospital-onset stroke with LVO.

    摘要:The single-joint Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL-SJ) robot is an exoskeleton-type suit developed for the neurorehabilitation of upper limb function. Several studies have addressed the usefulness of the robot; however, the appropriate patient selection remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of the HAL-SJ exoskeleton in improving upper limb function in the subacute phase after a stroke, as a function of the severity of arm paralysis. Our analysis was based on a retrospective review of 35 patients, treated using the HAL-SJ exoskeleton in the subacute phase after their stroke, between October 2014 and December 2018. The severity of upper limb impairment was quantified using the Brunnstrom recovery stage (BRS) as follows: severe, BRS score 1–2, = 10; moderate, BRS 3–4, = 12; and mild, BRS 5–6, = 13. The primary endpoint was the improvement in upper limb function, from baseline to post-intervention, measured using the Fugl-Meyer assessment upper limb motor score (ΔFMA-UE; range 0–66). The ΔFMA-UE score was significant for all three severity groups ( <0.05). The magnitude of improvement was greater in the moderate group than in the mild group ( <0.05). The greatest improvement was attained for patients with a moderate level of upper limb impairment at baseline. Our findings support the feasibility of the HAL-SJ to improve upper limb function in the subacute phase after a stroke with appropriate patient selection. This study is the first report showing the effect of robot-assisted rehabilitation using the HAL-SJ, according to the severity of paralysis in acute stroke patients with upper extremity motor deficits.

    摘要:At posterior cervical fixation, iatrogenic injury of the vertebral artery (VA) must be avoided. As the VA is usually located in front of the posterior line of the vertebral body, intraoperative lateral fluoroscopy is used to identify the line. We investigated in how many of 105 patients (210 VAs) this line is a safe marker. We also inspected the original cervical magnetic resonance angiograms (MRA) of 105 consecutive patients who had been treated for other than cervical spine diseases to study some anatomical characteristics of the VA in the cervical spine. The distance from the posterior line of the vertebral body to the posterior VA surface was classified as safe, as requiring attention, and as unsafe. Among the 210 VAs, four hypoplastic vessels were excluded from this study; consequently, 206 VAs were available for assessment. The average distance exceeded 6 mm, it was shorter at the upper cervical level. Although in at least 200 VAs (97.1%) the distance between C4 and C7 was safe, in only 170 VAs (82.5%) was it safe at C3. We observed a total of 31 tortuous loops in 17 VAs; their presence had a significant negative effect on the usefulness of the safety line. Although the posterior line of the vertebral body may be useful for safe screw insertion at the C4–C7 level, it may be less useful at C3. In the presence of tortuous VA loops, close attention must be paid to the reliability of the safety line during cervical spine surgery.

    摘要:Most cases of optic hypothalamic pilocytic astrocytoma (OHPA) develop during childhood, so few cases of histologically verified OHPA have been described in adolescents and young adults (AYA). To elucidate the clinical features of OHPA with histological verification in AYA, we reviewed the clinical and radiological finding of OHPA treated at our institute from January 1997 and July 2017. AYA are aged between 15 and 39 years. The clinical courses of 11 AYA patients with optic hypothalamic glioma (OHG) without neurofibromatosis type 1 were retrospectively reviewed. About six patients were diagnosed in childhood and followed up after 15 years of age, and five patients developed OHPA during AYA. Histological diagnosis, verified at initial presentation or recurrence, was pilocytic astrocytoma in 10 and pilomyxoid astrocytoma in one. After initial treatment including debulking surgery and/or chemotherapy, tumor progression occurred 16 times in seven patients as cyst formation, tumor growth, and intratumoral hemorrhage. Five of 10 patients suffered deterioration of visual function during AYA. One of 10 cases had endocrinopathies requiring hormone replacement at last follow-up examination. In conclusion, histological diagnoses of OHG before and in AYA were pilocytic astrocytoma or pilomyxoid astrocytoma. Both pediatric and AYA-onset OHPA demonstrate high incidences of tumor progression and visual dysfunctions in AYA, so that long-term follow up is essential after the completion of treatment for pediatric and AYA-onset OHPA. The optimal timing of debulking surgery and radiation therapy should be established to achieve the long-term tumor control and to preserve the visual function.

    摘要:Mechanical thrombectomy using a retrograde approach is performed for tandem occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). In our patient, a guiding catheter was easily passed by the stenosed lesion despite severe stenosis at the ICA origin. Therefore, we aimed to recanalize the occlusion of the terminal ICA without angioplasty for the stenosed lesion. When contrast was injected, a massive extravasation of contrast from the C2 portion of the ICA was observed. It was speculated that the bleeding was caused by rupture of an aneurysm at that site due to increased intra-arterial pressure caused by the contrast injection to a blind alley, which was created by a wedged guiding catheter at severe stenosis at the ICA origin and the occlusion of the terminal ICA. Our simulation experiment using a silicon vascular model in this situation demonstrated that the elevation of intra-arterial pressure in such blind alley reached over 50, 100, and 200 mmHg by injection of contrast from a microcatheter, a 4-Fr inner catheter, and a 9-Fr balloon-guiding catheter, respectively. When a retrograde approach is planned for tandem occlusion of the ICA, even when the proximal lesion is easily passed, prior angioplasty for the proximal lesion should be considered to avoid wedging by catheter.

    摘要:Carotid artery stenosis is elicited by atherosclerosis and is the main cause of cerebral thrombosis. Flow-mediated endothelial vasodilation (FMD) can be measured noninvasively to assess vascular endothelial function related to atherosclerosis. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) is used to evaluate the vascular media involved in atherosclerosis. We investigated the relationship between these measurements in 75 consecutive patients with atherosclerotic cerebral thrombosis. They were assigned to three equal groups based on the severity of carotid artery stenosis on ultrasonograms. Group 1 had no stenosis, group 2 manifested moderate stenosis (<60%), and group 3 presented with severe stenosis (≥60%). We compared the FMD and PWV among the three groups. The PWV was significantly lower in group 1 than the other two groups. The FMD was significantly lower in group 3; it was significantly lower in group 2 than group 1. There was an inverse correlation between the FMD and the severity of carotid artery stenosis. Our findings show that for assessing the severity of carotid artery stenosis, the FMD is more useful than the PWV.

    摘要:The nasal cavity is the exclusive surgical corridor for endoscopic endonasal surgery; however, it is sometimes too narrow to allow extensive surgical maneuvering. Here we show the technique of submucosal inferior turbinectomy (SIT) to widen this surgical corridor. Its effectiveness is evaluated quantitatively by comparing pre- and intraoperative magnetic resonance images. Between March 2015 and October 2018, we performed endoscopic endonasal resection of 57 skull base tumors with 3T intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI). Among these resections, cases with previous endonasal surgery and cases for which the iMRI did not cover the entire nasal cavity were excluded. Finally, six cases with and 19 cases without SIT were included in the subsequent retrospective analysis. We measured the dimensions of the narrowest area in inferior nasal cavity on pre- and intraoperative coronal plane gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced T1-weighted MR images using dedicated software, and compared them. The incidence rates of postoperative nasal complaints at outpatient clinics were also compared. Considerable widening of the inferior nasal cavity could be achieved with the SIT, which was statistically significant compared with those without the SIT (111.1 ± 56.5% vs. 39.4 ± 59.4%, respectively; = 0.0093). In terms of the incidence rate of postoperative nasal complaints at 6 months, there was no statistical difference between the groups (33.3% vs. 15.8%, respectively; = 0.35). SIT is effective for widening the surgical corridor while keeping nasal function and is especially helpful for lower clivus and laterally extended skull base lesions.

    摘要:Biomechanical analysis was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of mastering ukemi in preventing severe head injury in judo. One judo expert (tori) threw another judo expert (uke) with a skilled break-fall (ukemi) four times. We obtained kinematic data of uke with a digital video camera. Both translational and rotational accelerations were measured with a six-degree-of-freedom sensor affixed to uke’s forehead. When Osoto-gari was performed, uke fell backward and his arm made contact with the tatami; the translational and rotational accelerations rose to peak values. The peak resultant translational and rotational accelerations were respectively 10.3 ± 1.6 G and 679.4 ± 173.6 rad/s (mean ± standard deviation). Furthermore, when comparing the values obtained for the judo experts with those obtained using an anthropomorphic test device (ATD: the POLAR dummy) that did not perform ukemi, both the peak resultant translational ( = 0.021) and rotational ( = 0.021) accelerations of uke were significantly lower than those for the ATD, whose head struck the tatami. Additionally, there was no significant difference among the three axis directions for either translational ( : 7.4 ± 0.2, : 8.5 ± 2.1, : 7.2 ± 0.8 G) or rotational ( : 576.7 ± 132.7, : 401.0 ± 101.6, : 487.8 ± 66.6 rad/s ) acceleration. We confirmed that performing correct ukemi prevented the elevation of head acceleration by avoiding head contact with the tatami when a judoka is thrown by Osoto-gari. Judoka should therefore undertake intensive practice after they have acquired ukemi skills.

    摘要:Handling surgical microscopes with one hand requires force, especially when gripping the operating handle (OH) to swing the optic axis toward the surgeon and when moving it laterally or medially. These physical issues may be attributable to the non-ergonomic handling of the OH. To optimize the ease of OH handling, we applied ergonomic criteria to the positioning of the OH, i.e. holding the OH at as little ulnar deviation as possible and at abduction to strengthen the grip and ease arm rotation. Of eight male surgeons holding the OH of a mechanically counterbalanced surgical microscope, the OPMI Neuro/NC4 (Carl Zeiss AG), in ergonomics-based positions, six experienced reduced fatigue in the upper extremity. All reported that their hold on the microscope was firm when it unexpectedly became unbalanced. Ergonomics-based OH positioning, i.e. placing the involved muscles in the optimal length-tension relationship, may generate sufficient force for moving the microscope efficiently and reduce arm fatigue.

    摘要:Hemodynamic stress and chronic inflammation are closely associated with the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). However, the hemodynamic and biological mechanisms triggering IA formation remain to be elucidated. To clarify them, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and histopathological analyses in the early phase of IA development using an experimentally induced IA model in rats were conducted. Histological changes in the early phase of IA development were observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Using data from 7-T magnetic resonance angiography (7T-MRA), CFD analyses were performed to determine wall shear stress (WSS) and wall pressure (WP) at the prospective site of IA. A bump-like protrusion named an “intimal pad” was located in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) immediately distal to the apex of the bifurcation. TEM showed the degeneration of the internal elastic lamina (IEL) and longitudinally elongated smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that switched from the contractile to the proliferative phenotype and penetrated between two divided layers of the degenerated IEL in the prospective site of the IA. However, no inflammatory cells were observed. CFD analyses showed no particular pattern of WSS and WP at the prospective IA site. IEL degeneration and the phenotypic change and longitudinal elongation of SMCs were identified as the early events in IA development. CFD analyses and TEM data suggest that these biological events may be derived from increased circumferential wall stress due to increased blood pressure and increased longitudinal wall strain due to the existence of the intimal pad.

    摘要:Genome engineering using programmable nucleases such as transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-associated protein nine facilitated the introduction of genetic alterations at specific genomic sites in various cell types. These tools have been applied to cancer modeling to understand the pathogenic effects of the growing catalog of mutations found in human cancers. Pertaining to brain tumors, neural progenitor cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) engineered with different combinations of genetic driver mutations observed in distinct molecular subtypes of glioblastomas, the most common form of primary brain cancer in adults, give rise to brain tumors when engrafted orthotopically in mice. These glioblastoma models recapitulate the transcriptomic signature of each molecular subtype and authentically resemble pathobiology of glioblastoma, including inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity, chromosomal aberrations, and extrachromosomal DNA amplifications. Similar engineering with genetic mutations found in medulloblastoma and atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors in iPSCs have led to genetically trackable models that bear clinical relevance to these pediatric brain tumors. These models have contributed to improved comprehension of the genetic causation of tumorigenesis and offered a novel platform for therapeutic discovery. Studied in the context of three-dimensional cerebral organoids, these models have aided in the study of tumor invasion as well as therapeutic responses. In summary, modeling brain tumors through genome engineering enables not only the establishment of authentic tumor avatars driven by bona fide genetic mutations observed in patient samples but also facilitates functional investigations of particular genetic alterations in an otherwise isogenic background.

    摘要:Cranial implants are commonly used throughout the world, yet the data on complications remain partly clarified. The aim of this study was to gather real data in 2018 on complications related to cranial implants in neurosurgery. The survey population consisted of 1103 institutes supplying neurosurgical treatment. The survey consisted of two-stage questionnaire. First the incidence of complications was investigated, then the secondary questionnaire was e-mailed to the respondents about the detailed of the complications. As the result, the annual incidence of complications related to cranial implants was 0.558% in Japan. Titanium plate and mesh were used predominantly in craniotomy and cranioplasty, respectively. The second survey collected data on 449 cases with complications (infection: 63%, implant exposure: 46%, multiple answer). Postoperative infection was associated with male sex, brain tumor, short interval between surgery and complication, usage of ceramics, hydroxyapatite, resin, and artificial dura, hyponutrition, multiple surgeries, dirty wound, and sinusitis as patient factors, and CSF leakage, ruptured sutures, and sinus maltreatment as surgery factors. Meanwhile, long hospital stay was associated with age, male sex, mRS 3–5 before complication, short interval between initial surgery and complication, large craniotomy, long operative time, usage of ceramics and artificial dura, multiple surgeries and dirty wound as patient factors, ruptured suture as a surgical factor, and bacterial infection, especially MRSA infection, as the complication and treatment consisting of removal as complication factors. In conclusion, this is the first Japanese national survey on complications related to cranial implants in neurosurgery. It is important to recall that complications may arise years after surgery and to be aware of the risk factors associated with complications.

    摘要:An isolated fourth ventricle (IFV) is characterized by fourth ventricular dilation due to obstruction of its inlet and outlet. A disproportionately large communicating fourth ventricle (DLCFV) is a rare subtype of IFV, characterized by dilation of the fourth ventricle, regardless of the size of the lateral ventricles, with no apparent obstruction of the cerebral aqueduct. To our knowledge, this is the first case series describing endoscopic diagnosis and treatment strategy for DLCFV. We retrospectively reviewed six cases of DLCFV in which endoscopic surgery was performed at our institution and affiliated facilities between June 2013 and March 2017. DLCFV was diagnosed using radiographic imaging and intraoperative endoscopy. We also conducted a PubMed search and included only original studies related to DLCFV treatment written in English in our review of the literature. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was performed in all patients. Additional endoscope-assisted placement of a fourth ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was performed in two patients who could not be managed with ETV alone because of severe adhesion of the interpeduncular cistern due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The patients’ symptoms and the size of the fourth ventricle improved with surgical treatment, without complications. Endoscopic surgery for DLCFV appears to be a safe and effective treatment. Based on our treatment strategy, ETV is the first-line treatment for DLCFV. Endoscope-assisted placement of the fourth VP shunt can be treatment for severe adhesion of the interpeduncular cistern.

    摘要:Some of the pediatric moyamoya patients spend their childhood without diagnosed as moyamoya disease (MMD) because of their mild ischemic attacks and emerge again with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke in their adulthood. This study was aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of adult moyamoya patients with childhood onset and elucidate the impact of long disease period on their clinical features. Present study included 116 untreated hemispheres of 69 adult patients with MMD. They were divided into two groups: childhood onset group (26 hemispheres of 14 patients) and adult onset group (90 hemispheres of 55 patients). Clinical features were compared between the two groups. The incidence of hemorrhagic stroke was significantly higher in childhood onset group (P = 0.0091). Lenticulostriate and choroidal channels were more developed in childhood onset group (P = 0.044 and P <0.001, respectively). Vault moyamoya was more frequently observed in childhood onset group (P <0.001). The development of surgical collaterals through indirect bypass was more marked in childhood onset group (P = 0.0019). Multivariate analysis revealed that childhood onset and developed choroidal channels were significantly associated with the occurrence of hemorrhagic stroke (OR 4.31 [95% CI 1.21–15.4], P = 0.025 and OR 6.78 [95% CI 1.78–25.8], P = 0.0050, respectively). This study clearly shows that adult moyamoya patients with childhood onset have more developed spontaneous collaterals, which may, in turn, highly causes hemorrhagic stroke. Adult moyamoya patients with “childhood onset” should be recognized as a novel and important concept when elucidating the underlying mechanisms of hemorrhagic stroke in MMD.

    摘要:Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) elicits low back pain (LBP) and lower-limb symptoms. Paralumbar spine disease (PLSD), for example, superior cluneal nerve/middle cluneal nerve entrapment (SCN-EN, MCN-EN) and sacroiliac joint pain (SIJ), may be attributable to LDH whose treatment may not ameliorate their symptoms. We treated LDH patients and addressed their coexisting PLSDs. We retrospectively analyzed the effects of targeted block therapy for PLSD in 47 patients with LDH. They were 23 men and 24 women ranging in age from 21 to 79 years. They were seen between August 2014 and October 2018, within 3 weeks of LDH onset. PLSD was diagnosed based on the symptoms of patients whose pain was not controlled by oral medications. The treatment outcome was assessed by comparing the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) score recorded before and 2 weeks after last block treatment. Of the 47 patients with LDH, 2 suffered no LBP and 30 reported tenderness in the low back. We performed block therapy in 13 patients; 9 (19.1%) had concurrent PLSD and experienced pain relief. Their NRS improved from 8.1 ± 1.8 before- to 1.3 ± 0.9 after treatment; their RDQ score fell from 11.2 ± 6.0 to 0.9 ± 1.2 (both, p < 0.01). In an LDH patient with MCN-EN alone, MCN neurolysis was performed 2 weeks after a single MCN block proved to be only transiently effective. Paralumbar diseases may coexist in patients with LDH; treatment of the former may alleviate their LBP.

    摘要:Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) improves motor symptoms in individuals with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) and enables physicians to reduce doses of antiparkinsonian drugs. We investigated possible predictive factors for the successful reduction of antiparkinsonian drug dosage after STN-DBS. We evaluated 33 PD patients who underwent bilateral STN-DBS. We assessed rates of reduction of the levodopa-equivalent daily dose (LEDD) and levodopa daily dose (LDD) by comparing drug doses before vs. 6-months post-surgery. We used correlation coefficients to measure the strength of the relationships between LEDD and LDD reduction rates and preoperative factors including age, disease duration, preoperative LEDD and LDD, unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale part-II and -III, levodopa response rate, Mini-Mental State Examination score, dyskinesia score, Hamilton Rating Scale for depression, and the number of non-motor symptoms. The average LEDD and LDD reduction rates were 61.0% and 70.4%, respectively. Of the variables assessed, only the number of psychiatric/cognitive symptoms was significantly correlated with the LEDD reduction rate. No other preoperative factors were correlated with the LEDD or LDD reduction rate. A wide range of preoperative psychiatric and cognitive symptoms may predict the successful reduction of antiparkinsonian drugs after STN-DBS.

    摘要:Thrombectomy has demonstrated clinical efficacy against acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA), even if performed 6–24 h after onset. This study investigated the outcomes of thrombectomy performed 6–24 h after stroke onset caused by extracranial ICA occlusion. Of 586 stroke patients receiving thrombectomy during the past 3 years and registered in the Tama Registry of Acute Endovascular Thrombectomy database, 24 were identified with ICA occlusion (14 extracranial and 10 intracranial), known to be well 6–24 h before presentation, and with pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0 or 1. Clinical outcomes measured were the rate of functional independence at 90 days according to mRS score of 0–2 and 90 day mortality rate. Of patients with extracranial ICA occlusion, two received additional carotid stenting with thrombectomy. The median interval between the last time the patient was known to be well and hospital arrival was 601 (interquartile range, 476–729 min). Both the rate of functional independence at 90 days and 90 day mortality were comparable between patients with extracranial or intracranial ICA occlusion (36% vs. 40% and 7% vs. 10%, respectively). No symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages occurred within 24 h following treatment of extracranial ICA occlusion. Thrombectomy performed 6–24 h after extracranial ICA results in acceptable functional outcome. Further clinical study is warranted to better define the temporal window of thrombectomy for acceptable functional outcome in patients with extracranial ICA occlusion.
