Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) in the evaluation of thrombolytic efficacy in acute cerebral infarction.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. Ninety-four patients with acute cerebral infarction who received intravenous thrombolysis admitted to the department of emergency of Qinhuangdao First Hospital from October 2019 to September 2020 were enrolled. The relative energy values of δ, θ, α and β waves in qEEG before and 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) thrombolysis were dynamically monitored, and the power ratio index [DTABR, DTABR = (δ+θ)/(α+β)] was calculated. The National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score was also recorded. The reduction of NIHSS score ≥ 3 or the disappearance of neurological symptoms were regarded as effective thrombolytic therapy. The changes of DTABR before and after thrombolysis in patients with effective and ineffective thrombolysis were analyzed, and the correlation between DTABR and NIHSS score was analyzed by Pearson method.Results:A total of 94 patients were enrolled, including 64 males and 30 females. The average age was (61.71±10.11) years from 36 to 89 years old. Thrombolysis was effective in 57 cases and ineffective in 37 cases. Compared with before thrombolysis, DTABR of the effective group was significantly decreased at 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after thrombolysis (left cerebral infarction: 1.87±1.45, 1.59±0.88, 1.58±0.90 vs. 3.82±2.60; right cerebral infarction: 1.55±0.57, 1.41±0.50, 1.35±0.44 vs. 3.20±1.63, all P < 0.05). DTABR did not change or increase significantly at 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after thrombolysis compared with before thrombolysis (left cerebral infarction: 3.56±2.57, 3.48±2.19, 3.54±2.50 vs. 3.11±1.62; right cerebral infarction: 5.29±3.93, 5.33±3.94, 5.19±4.52 vs. 4.73±2.43, all P > 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between DTABR and NIHSS score in patients with acute cerebral infarction (r = 0.691, P < 0.01).Conclusion:The quantitative index of qEEG, DTABR, can accurately and quickly monitor the process of thrombolysis in acute cerebral infarction, and can effectively evaluate the effect of thrombolysis in patients.

Objective To investigate the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling pathway in the expression of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) in brain tissue of rats with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during mild hypothermia. Methods Forty-eight healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into sham operation group, normal temperature group and mild hypothermia group according to random number table method, with 16 in each group. The rat model of cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was established by asphyxia method. The sham operation group only experienced venous catheterization and tracheal intubation. The mild hypothermia group was treated with hypothermia 0.5 hours after restore of spontaneous circulation (ROSC, maintaining esophageal temperature at 32-34 ℃); the normal temperature group was treated at room temperature after ROSC (maintaining esophageal temperature at 36-38 ℃). Brain tissue was harvested at 6 hours after ROSC, and histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The water content of brain tissue was determined by dry-wet specific gravity method. The protein expressions of phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38MAPK), p38MAPK and AQP4 in brain tissue were determined by Western Blot. Results Compared with the sham operation group, the nerve cells in the normal temperature group were reduced in size, cytoplasmic loosening, nuclear pyknosis, and in apoptotic body formation, water content of brain tissue was significantly increased [(83.64±2.53)% vs. (77.95±0.94)%, P < 0.05], the protein expressions of p-p38MAPK, p38MAPK, AQP4 were significantly increased (p38MAPK/β- actin: 1.010±0.217 vs. 0.427±0.090, p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK: 0.451±0.172 vs. 0.191±0.141, AQP4/β- actin: 3.129±0.754 vs. 1.598±0.464, all P < 0.05). Compared with the normal temperature group, the degree of necrosis of nerve cells in the mild hypothermia group was reduced, the water content of brain tissue was significantly decreased [(80.49±2.05)% vs. (83.64±2.53)%, P < 0.05], the protein expression of p38MAPK, p-p38MAPK and AQP4 in brain tissue were significantly decreased (p38MAPK/β- actin: 0.590±0.162 vs. 1.010±0.217, p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK: 0.298±0.076 vs. 0.451±0.172, AQP4/β- actin: 2.061±0.340 vs. 3.129±0.754, all P < 0.05). Conclusion Mild hypothermia may regulate the expression of AQP4 in brain tissue of CPR rats through p38MAPK signaling pathway, and reduce brain edema, thereby exerting brain protection.
