摘要

Effects of L-lysine monohydrochloride on ischemia reversibility were studied using diffusion and perfusion MRI in 11 patients and 4 controls with large territory ischemic brain injury. Parametric maps of vascular physiological function were synthesized. Region of interest analysis was done from the infracted and corresponding contralateral normal regions. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant changes in terms of lesion volumes, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), mean transit time (MTT) ratios in patients treated with lysine compared to controls. A significant increase in rCBV ratio in lysine treated patients suggests that increased angiogenesis is probably responsible for tissue reversibility and functional recovery in these patients. Introduction It is established that by 6 months after a stroke about 20-30% of patients have died, 20-30% are moderately to severely disabled, 20-25% have mild to moderate disability, and the remainder are without deficit [1, 2]. Initial clinical deficits can improve dramatically or worsen during the first 48-72 hrs [2,3,4]. Changes in the clinical status might sometimes be related to pathophysiologic events such as early reperfusion, hemorrhagic transformation or edema of the ischemic lesions [3]. Thrombolytic therapy using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has significantly improved the neurological outcome when administered up to 3 hours after the onset of symptoms [5,6,7,8]. However, the brief therapeutic window of 3 hours significantly limits the number of treatable patients. There are concerns about the relatively high rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in patients treated with intra-arterial thrombolysis [7]. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of progress in acute stroke drug development since the efficacy of rt-PA was demonstrated on the basis of National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke trials in 1995 [7]. Other drugs intended to facilitate reperfusion, such as intra-arterial thrombolysis with prourokinase and the defibrinogenating agent ancord, given intravenously, have shown promise [7]. Despite numerous studies of neuroprotective compounds showing reduction of infarct volume in animal stroke models and in some cases, promising phase II results, none has been proven efficacious on the basis of a positive phase III trial. On this basis it is clear that novel approaches will need to be considered and employed in the future clinical trials [7].Potential of diffusion and perfusion MRI in selecting patients for thrombolysis beyond 3 hours and evaluating the tissue effect of reperfusion has been realized [9]. Parsons et al suggested that patient selection by perfusion and diffusion MRI and its evaluation of response to treatment may identify the patients in whom intravenous rt-PA therapy will be of clinical benefit when therapy is initiated between 3 and 6 hours [10]. Hyperacute lesion volume of more than 89 ml imaged with diffusion weighting imaging (DWI) may be predictive of early neurological deterioration [9]. A combination of relative peak height and time to peak perfusion measurements may be a better predictor of infarct growth than quantitative haemodynamic parameters [9,11].Angiogenesis is defined as the formation of new blood vessels by sprouting of endothelial cells from pre-existing vessels. During the process of sprouting, endothelial cells degrade the underlying basement membrane, migrate into the neighboring tissue, proliferate and assemble into tubes. Finally, tube-to-tube connections are made and blood flow is established [12]. Among the factors capable of modulating angiogenesis characterized to date, vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) is the best candidate for a specific regulator of endothelial growth and differentiation. VEGF is expressed in the normal adult brain, mainly in the epithelial cells of choroids plexus, but a
