Abstract:
Objective To observe the ultrastructure of blood-brain barrier (BBB) around hematoma in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods Brain tissue around hematoma in 10 patients with hypertensive ICH was obtained using stereotaxic apparatus targeted by CT scan. Ultrastructure of BBB was observed under electron microscope. Results Astrocytic end feet swelled and pinocytotic vesicles increased 12 h after ICH. Mitochondrion of endothelial cells swelled and ridges disrupted 24 h after ICH. Astrocytic end feet and endothelial cells showed apparent edema, cell nuclei tumefied 48 h after ICH. Cytoplasm loosened and fundus membranes ruptured 72 h after ICH. Endothelial cell membranes and nuclei dissolved and capillary vessels dented 5 d after ICH. Conclusion Prevention of BBB from damage is important in treating ICH at early stage.
