Objective To explore the correlation between polarization status of microglia/macrophages(MG/MP)in brain tissue and edema around hematoma in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 52 patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to Anyang People's Hospital from December 2020 to November 2022 were selected as the research subjects.All patients underwent craniotomy to remove hematoma,and the normal brain tissue in the cortical area that was not invaded by the hematoma and the fragmented brain tissue around the hematoma(brain tissue around the hematoma)on the surgical pathway were obtained.The expression levels of inflammatory factors such as interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)protein in brain tissue were detected by Western blot.The expression levels of IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA in brain tissue were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The levels of M1-type and M2-type MG/MP in brain tissue was detected by immunofluorescence confocal technique.CT images data of patients before operation were collected and the relative-erihema-tomal edema(r-PHE)was calculated.The patients were divided into high r-PHE group(2.0≤ r-PHE＜2.5)and low r-PHE group(1.5＜r-PHE＜2.0)according to r-PHE.The relative expression of IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA in brain tissue around the hematoma of patients between the high r-PHE group and the low r-PHE group was compared.Results The relative expressions of IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α protein and mRNA in brain tissue around the hematoma were significantly higher than those in the normal brain tissues(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the relative expressions of IL-10 and TGF-β protein and mRNA between the brain tissue around the hematoma and the normal brain tissue(P＞0.05).The levels of M1 type and M2 type MG/MP in the brain tissue around the hematoma were significantly higher than those in normal brain tissue(P＜0.05).The relative expressions of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA in the brain tissue around the hematoma of patients in the high r-PHE group were significantly higher than those in the low r-PHE group(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the relative expressions of TGF-β and IL-10 mRNA in the brain tissue around the hematoma of patients between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The levels of pro-inflammatory factors and M1-type MG/MP are increased in the brain tissue around the hematoma in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage,and the degree of polarization of M1-type MG/MP is consistent with the degree of edema around hematoma after cerebral hemorrhage.
