  1. Risk of Rupture After Intracranial Aneurysm Growth.2021/10/01van der Kamp Laura T,Rinkel Gabriel J E,Verbaan Dagmar,van den Berg René,Vandertop W Peter,Murayama Yuichi,Ishibashi Toshihiro,Lindgren Antti,Koivisto Timo,Teo Mario,St George Jerome,Agid Ronit,Radovanovic Ivan,Moroi Junta,Igase Keiji,van den Wijngaard Ido R,Rahi Melissa,Rinne Jaakko,Kuhmonen Johanna,Boogaarts Hieronymus D,Wong George K C,Abrigo Jill M,Morita Akio,Shiokawa Yoshiaki,Hackenberg Katharina A M,Etminan Nima,van der Schaaf Irene C,Zuithoff Nicolaas P A,Vergouwen Mervyn D IJAMA neurology78/ 10, 1228-123510.1001/jamaneurol.2021.2915Unruptured intracranial aneurysms not undergoing preventive endovascular or neurosurgical treatment are often monitored radiologically to detect aneurysm growth, which is associated with an increase in risk of rupture. However, the absolute risk of aneurysm rupture after detection of growth remains unclear.To determine the absolute risk of rupture of an aneurysm after detection of growth during follow-up and to develop a prediction model for rupture.Individual patient data were obtained from 15 international cohorts. Patients 18 years and older who had follow-up imaging for at least 1 untreated unruptured intracranial aneurysm with growth detected at follow-up imaging and with 1 day or longer of follow-up after growth were included. Fusiform or arteriovenous malformation-related aneurysms were excluded. Of the 5166 eligible patients who had follow-up imaging for intracranial aneurysms, 4827 were excluded because no aneurysm growth was detected, and 27 were excluded because they had less than 1 day follow-up after detection of growth.All included aneurysms had growth, defined as 1 mm or greater increase in 1 direction at follow-up imaging.The primary outcome was aneurysm rupture. The absolute risk of rupture was measured with the Kaplan-Meier estimate at 3 time points (6 months, 1 year, and 2 years) after initial growth. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify predictors of rupture after growth detection.A total of 312 patients were included (223 [71%] were women; mean [SD] age, 61 [12] years) with 329 aneurysms with growth. During 864 aneurysm-years of follow-up, 25 (7.6%) of these aneurysms ruptured. The absolute risk of rupture after growth was 2.9% (95% CI, 0.9-4.9) at 6 months, 4.3% (95% CI, 1.9-6.7) at 1 year, and 6.0% (95% CI, 2.9-9.1) at 2 years. In multivariable analyses, predictors of rupture were size (7 mm or larger hazard ratio, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.4-7.2), shape (irregular hazard ratio, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.3-6.5), and site (middle cerebral artery hazard ratio, 3.6; 95% CI, 0.8-16.3; anterior cerebral artery, posterior communicating artery, or posterior circulation hazard ratio, 2.8; 95% CI, 0.6-13.0). In the triple-S (size, site, shape) prediction model, the 1-year risk of rupture ranged from 2.1% to 10.6%.Within 1 year after growth detection, rupture occurred in approximately 1 of 25 aneurysms. The triple-S risk prediction model can be used to estimate absolute risk of rupture for the initial period after detection of growth.
  2. Low Carotid Flow Pulsatility Index Correlates With the Presence of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms.2021/07/06Igase Michiya,Igase Keiji,Okada Yoko,Ochi Masayuki,Tabara Yasuharu,Sadamoto Kazuhiko,Ohyagi YasumasaJournal of the American Heart Association10/ 13, e01862610.1161/JAHA.120.018626Background We assessed cases of incidental unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) discovered on screening magnetic resonance angiography to identify hemodynamic and atherosclerotic risk factors. Methods and Results The data of 1376 healthy older subjects (age range, 31-91 years) without cerebro- or cardiovascular diseases who underwent brain magnetic resonance angiography as part of a medical checkup program at a health screening center were examined retrospectively. We looked for an increase in classical risk factors for UIAs (age, sex, hypertension, and smoking) and laboratory data related to lifestyle diseases among subjects with UIAs. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, central systolic blood pressure, radial augmentation index, and carotid flow pulsatility index were also compared between those with and without UIAs. We found UIAs in 79 (5.7%) of the subjects. Mean age was 67.1±9.0 years, and 55 (70%) were women. Of the 79 aneurysms, 75 (95%) were in the anterior circulation, with a mean diameter of 3.1 mm (range, 2.0-8.0 mm). Subjects with UIAs were significantly older and had more severe hypertension. The carotid flow pulsatility index was significantly lower in subjects with UIAs and negatively and independently correlated with UIAs. Tertile analysis stratified by carotid flow pulsatility index revealed that subjects with lower indices had higher levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions The presence of UIAs correlated with lower carotid flow pulsatility index and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the data from a population of healthy older volunteers. A reduced carotid flow pulsatility index may affect low-density lipoprotein cholesterol elevation by some molecular pathways and influence the development of cerebral aneurysms. This may guide aneurysm screening indications for institutions where magnetic resonance angiography is not routine.
  3. Casein Hydrolysate Containing Milk-Derived Peptides Reduces Facial Pigmentation Partly by Decreasing Advanced Glycation End Products in the Skin: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial.2021/04Igase Michiya,Okada Yoko,Igase Keiji,Matsumoto Sayaka,Senzaki Kensuke,Ochi Masayuki,Ohyagi Yasumasa,Yamagishi Sho-IchiRejuvenation research24/ 2, 97-10310.1089/rej.2020.2343Casein hydrolysate has been shown to improve arterial stiffness as estimated by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in untreated hypertensive patients. Facial pigmentation is associated with atherosclerosis, both of which are supposed to be modulated by tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). However, effects of casein hydrolysate on facial pigmentation and AGEs remain largely unknown. This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial evaluated whether and how casein hydrolysate improves facial pigmentation in 80 nonhypertensive Japanese patients. Study participants were randomly assigned to receive either active tablets containing casein hydrolysate or placebo for 48 weeks. Facial pigmentation area, baPWV, and skin accumulation levels of AGEs were evaluated by Robo Skin Analyzer RSA50S II, volume-plethysmographic apparatus, and AGE Reader, respectively, at baseline and at the end of the intervention. Treatment with casein hydrolysate, but not placebo significantly reduced triglycerides and facial pigmentation area. There were significant differences of changes in triglycerides, facial pigmentation area, skin accumulation levels of AGEs, and baPWV between the two groups. Furthermore, changes in triglycerides and skin accumulation levels of AGEs were positively and independently associated with those in facial pigmentation area, whereas changes in baPWV were not. This study suggests that casein hydrolysate reduces facial pigmentation area in nonhypertensive participants partly by decreasing skin accumulation levels of AGEs.

  4. Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for Refractory Essential Tremor: A Japanese Multicenter Single-Arm Study.2021/03/15Abe Keiichi,Horisawa Shiro,Yamaguchi Toshio,Hori Hiroki,Yamada Kazumichi,Kondo Kimito,Furukawa Hironori,Kamada Hajime,Kishima Haruhiko,Oshino Satoru,Mochizuki Hideki,Kanemoto Manabu,Hirabayashi Hidehiro,Fukutome Kenji,Ohnishi Hideyuki,Igase Keiji,Matsubara Ichiro,Ohnishi Takanori,Sadamoto Kazuhiko,Taira TakaomiNeurosurgery88/ 4, 751-75710.1093/neuros/nyaa536Several feasibility studies and a randomized, controlled, multicenter trial have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of unilateral transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) lesioning of the ventral intermediate thalamic nucleus in treating essential tremor.To evaluate the safety and efficacy of FUS thalamotomy in a Japanese patient cohort through a prospective, multicenter, single-arm confirmatory trial.A total of 35 patients with disabling refractory essential tremor underwent unilateral FUS thalamotomy and were followed up for 12 post-treatment months. Safety was measured as the incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events. Efficacy was measured as the tremor severity and quality of life improvements using the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor and Questionnaire for Essential Tremor.The mean skull density ratio (SDR) was 0.47. There was a significant decrease in the mean postural tremor score of the treated hand from baseline to 12 mo by 56.4% (95% CI: 46.7%-66.1%; P < .001), which was maintained at last follow-up. Quality of life improved by 46.3% (mean overall Questionnaire for Essential Tremor score of 17.4 [95% CI: 12.1-22.7]) and there were no severe adverse events. The most frequent adverse event was gait disturbance and all events resolved.Unilateral FUS thalamotomy allowed significant and sustained tremor relief and improved the quality of life with an outstanding safety profile. The observed safety and efficacy of FUS thalamotomy were comparable to those reported in a previous multicenter study with a low SDR, and inclusion of the low SDR group did not affect effectiveness.
  5. Predictors of Outcomes After Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy.2020/08/01Krishna Vibhor,Sammartino Francesco,Cosgrove Rees,Ghanouni Pejman,Schwartz Michael,Gwinn Ryder,Eisenberg Howard,Fishman Paul,Chang Jin Woo,Taira Takaomi,Kaplitt Michael,Rezai Ali,Rumià Jordi,Gedroyc Wady,Igase Keiji,Kishima Haruhiko,Yamada Kazumichi,Ohnishi Hideyuki,Halpern CaseyNeurosurgery87/ 2, 229-23710.1093/neuros/nyz417Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy (FUS-T) is an emerging treatment for essential tremor (ET).To determine the predictors of outcomes after FUS-T.Two treatment groups were analyzed: 75 ET patients enrolled in the pivotal trial, between 2013 and 2015; and 114 patients enrolled in the postpivotal trials, between 2015 and 2016. All patients had medication-refractory, disabling ET, and underwent unilateral FUS-T. The primary outcome (hand tremor score, 32-point scale with higher scores indicating worse tremor) and the secondary outcome variables (Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor Part C score: 32-point scale with higher scores indicating more disability) were assessed at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 mo. The operative outcome variables (ie, peak temperature, number of sonications) were analyzed. The results between the 2 treatment groups, pivotal and postpivotal, were compared with repeated measures analysis of variance and adjusted for confounding variables.A total of 179 patients completed the 12-mo evaluation. The significant predictors of tremor outcomes were patient age, disease duration, peak temperature, and number of sonications. A greater improvement in hand tremor scores was observed in the postpivotal group at all time points, including 12 mo (61.9% ± 24.9% vs 52.1% ± 24.9%, P = .009). In the postpivotal group, higher energy was used, resulting in higher peak temperatures (56.7 ± 2.5 vs 55.6 ± 2.8°C, P = .004). After adjusting for age, years of disease, number of sonications, and maximum temperature, the treatment group was a significant predictor of outcomes (F = 7.9 [1,165], P = .005).We observed an improvement in outcomes in the postpivotal group compared to the pivotal group potentially reflecting a learning curve with FUS-T. The other associations of tremor outcomes included patient age, disease duration, peak temperature, and number of sonications.
