Methods A total of 54 patients with spontaneous thalamic hemorrhage were evaluated retrospectively. Clinical data, including demographics, stroke risk factors, neuroimaging variables, Glasgow Coma Score （GCS） on admission, surgical strategy, and outcome, were collected. Clinical outcome was assessed using a modified Rankin Scale, six months after onset. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to determine predictors of a poor outcome. Results Conservative treatnaent was performed for five patients （9.3%）, external ventricular drainage （EVD） for 20 patients （37.0%）, THD for four patients （7.4%）, and EVD combined with THD for 25 patients （46.3%）. At six months after onset, 21 （38.9%） patients achieved a favorable outcome, while 33 （61.1%） had a poor outcome. In the univariate analysis, predictors of poor 6-month outcome were lower GCS on admis- sion （P = 0.001）, larger hematoma volume （P 〈 0.001）, midline shift （P = 0.035）, acute hydrocephalus （P = 0.039）, and no THD （P = 0.037）. The independent predictors of poor outcome, according to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, were no THD and larger hematoma volume. Conclusions Minimally invasive THD, which removes most of the hematoma within a few days, with limited damage to perihematomal brain tissue, improved the 6-month outcome of thalamic hemorrhage. Thus, THD can be widely applied to treat patients with thalamic hemorrhage.展开更多

In this study, we first determined the relationship between the lesion site and changes in mechanical or thermal pain sensitivity in a rat CPSP model with experimental thalamic hemorrhage produced by unilateral intra-thalamic collagenase IV（ITC） injection. Then, we evaluated the efficacy of gabapentin（GBP）, an anticonvulsant that binds the voltage-gated Ca2＋ channel α2δ and a commonly used anti-neuropathic pain medication. Histological case-by-case analysis showed that only lesions confined to the medial lemniscus and the ventroposterior lateral/medial nuclei of the thalamus and/or the posterior thalamic nucleus resulted in bilateral mechanical pain hypersensitivity. All of the animals displaying CPSP also had impaired motor coordination, while control rats with intra-thalamic saline developed no central pain or motor deficits. GBP had a dose-related anti-allodynic effect after a single administration（1, 10, or 100 mg/kg） on day 7 post-ITC, with significant effects lasting at least 5 hfor the higher doses. However, repeated treatment, once a day for two weeks, resulted in complete loss of effectiveness（drug tolerance） at 10 mg/kg, while effectiveness remained at 100 mg/kg, although the time period of efficacious analgesia was reduced. In addition, GBP did not change the basal pain sensitivity and the motor impairment caused by the ITC lesion, suggesting selective action of GBP on the somatosensory system.展开更多
