Clinical and imaging risk factors predicting UIA growth or rupture are poorly understood in the Chinese population due to the lack of large-scale longitudinal studies, and the treatment decision for UIA patients was challenging. Develop a decision tree (DT) model for UIA instability, and validate its performance in multi-center studies. Single-UIA patients from two prospective, longitudinal multicenter cohort studies were analyzed, and set as the development cohort and validation cohort. The primary endpoint was UIA instability (rupture, growth, or morphological change). A DT was established within the development cohort and validated within the validation cohort. The performance of clinicians in identifying unstable UIAs before and after the help of the DT was compared using the area under curve (AUC). The development cohort included 1270 patients with 1270 UIAs and a follow-up duration of 47.2 ± 15.5 months. Aneurysm instability occurred in 187 (14.7%) patients. Multivariate Cox analysis revealed hypertension (hazard ratio [HR], 1.54; 95%CI, 1.14-2.09), aspect ratio (HR, 1.22; 95%CI, 1.17-1.28), size ratio (HR, 1.31; 95%CI, 1.23-1.41), bifurcation configuration (HR, 2.05; 95%CI, 1.52-2.78) and irregular shape (HR, 4.30; 95%CI, 3.19-5.80) as factors of instability. In the validation cohort (n = 106, 12 was unstable), the DT model incorporating these factors was highly predictive of UIA instability (AUC, 0.88 [95%CI, 0.79-0.97]), and superior to existing UIA risk scales such as PHASES and ELAPSS (AUC, 0.77 [95%CI, 0.67-0.86] and 0.76 [95%CI, 0.66-0.86], P < 0.001). Within all 1376 single-UIA patients, the use of the DT significantly improved the accuracy of junior neurosurgical clinicians to identify unstable UIAs (AUC from 0.63 to 0.82, P < 0.001). The DT incorporating hypertension, aspect ratio, size ratio, bifurcation configuration and irregular shape was able to predict UIA instability better than existing clinical scales in Chinese cohorts.

Meningeal lymphatics play a crucial role in transporting solutes and immune cells out of the brain and draining them into cervical lymph nodes (CLNs). However, the role of meningeal lymphatics in regulating systemic inflammation during the reperfusion stage after ischemia is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrated that brain infarct size, neuronal loss, and the effector function of inflammatory macrophage subsets were reduced after ischemia-reperfusion and disruption of meningeal lymphatics. Spatial memory function was improved in the late stage of ischemic stroke following meningeal lymphatic disruption. Brain-infiltrating immune cells, including neutrophils, monocytes, and T and natural killer cells, were reduced after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and meningeal lymphatic disruption. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed that meningeal lymphatic disruption reprogrammed the transcriptome profile related to chemotaxis and leukocyte migration in CLN lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), and it also decreased chemotactic CCN1 expression in floor LECs. Replenishment of CCN1 through intraventricular injection increased brain infarct size and neuronal loss, while restoring numbers of macrophages/microglia in the brains of meningeal lymphatic-disrupted mice after ischemic stroke. Blocking CCN1 in cerebrospinal fluid reduced brain infarcts and improves spatial memory function after ischemia-reperfusion injury. In summary, this study indicates that CCN1-mediated detrimental inflammation was alleviated after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and meningeal lymphatic disruption.

We investigated the effect of rapamycin at three clinically relevant doses on lesion development in the Ccm3^-/-PDGFb-icreER^Positive murine model of familial CCM disease, without induction of Pik3ca GOF. Lesion burden, attrition, and acute and chronic hemorrhaging were compared between placebo and rapamycin-treated mice.

Outlier, exceptionally large CCM lesions (> 2 SD above the mean lesion burden) were exclusively observed in the placebo group. Rapamycin, across all dosages, may have prevented the emergence of large outlier lesions. Yet rapamycin also appeared to exacerbate mean lesion burden of surviving mice when outliers were excluded, increased attrition, and did not alter hemorrhage. miR-30c-2-3p, decreased in rapamycin-treated mouse plasma, has gene targets in PI3K/AKT and mTOR signaling. Progression of outlier lesions in a familial CCM model may have been halted by rapamycin treatment, at the potential expense of increased mean lesion burden and increased attrition. If confirmed, this can have implications for potential rapamycin treatment of familial CCM disease, where lesion development may not be driven by PIK3CA GOF.
