Abstract

Therapeutic effect of vascular interventional therapy and aspirin combined with defibrase in the treatment of cerebral ischemia in rat model were investigated. Ninety rats were selected to establish cerebral ischemia model. Animal models were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 45 rats in each group. Rats in observation group were treated with vascular intervention, and control group was treated with aspirin combined with defibrase. Peak systolic velocity (Vs) and end-diastolic velocity (Vd) were compared between two groups before and after 12 months of treatment. Therapeutic effects were compared before and after 6 months, and before and after 12 months of treatment. Vs and Vd of vascular lesions in observation group at 12 months were reduced after treatment, and were significantly lower than those in control group (p<0.05). After treatment, Vs and Vd in observation group were significantly reduced (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in Vs and Vd values between the groups before treatment (p>0.05). NDS scores in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group at 6 months and 1 year after treatment (p<0.05). There were no significant changes in NDS score at 6 and 12 months after treatment in control group compared with pretreatment group (p>0.05). NDS in observation group was significantly reduced at 6 and 12 months after treatment compared with pretreatment level (p<0.05). One year after treatment, incidence of cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attack and mortality in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). Intracranial vascular interventional therapy can achieve satisfactory outcomes in the treatment of cerebral ischemia, and can effectively promote nerve function recovery, and reduce the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases and mortality.

Introduction

Ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) is a disorder of blood supply to the brain based on the pathological changes of the blood vessel wall. Cerebral ischemia in blood supply area causes necrosis of the hypoxia, which in turn leads to local or diffuse brain damage, resulting in a series of neurological deficit syndromes (1,2). With the economic development, improvement of people's living standard and acceleration of population aging, incidence of ICVD in China is gradually increasing. ICVD mainly includes cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attack. Mortality and disability rate of ICVD are high, seriously affecting human health and bringing financial burden to patients' families and society (3). The principle of ICVD treatment is to save lives, reduce brain damage, promote the recovery of nerve function, and prevent recurrence (4). Clinical treatment of this disease is mainly based on the drug treatment in order to achieve anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects, as well as stabilize plaques, but the outcomes of drug treatment are usually poor (5). Vascular interventional therapy, which can directly remove occlusion of blood vessels to promote blood supply return to normal, and induce vascular lumen remodeling and restore blood supply to brain tissue, is novel treatment of cerebrovascular disease (6). The application of endovascular stenting has been widely studied. A controlled clinical trial has also confirmed that this treatment method can effectively improve the prognosis of ICVD, and reduce the incidence of cerebrovascular events (7).

In this study, rat model of cerebral ischemia was established, and rats were randomly divided into vascular intervention group and aspirin combined defibrase drug treatment group. The peak systolic velocity (Vs), end-diastolic velocity (Vd), degree of neurological deficit and cerebrovascular disease events of the two groups were compared before and after the treatment to evaluate the therapeutic effect of vascular intervention in ICVD, so as to provide the basis for clinical treatment of ICVD.

Materials and methods

Experimental animals

A total of 90 healthy male SD rats aged 49–56 days with body weight of 250–300 g were purchased from Animal Center of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (Guangzhou, China). Rats were randomly divided into observation and control groups, 45 in each group. After the establishment of cerebral ischemia model, rats in observation group were treated with vascular intervention, and rats in control group were treated with aspirin combined with defibrase. Rats were housed in a temperature controlled room (21 ± 2°C) on a 12:12 h light/dark cycle (lights on at 06:00). All rats had free access to water and food. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of The Third People's Hospital of Qingdao (Qingdao, China).

Establishment of rat cerebral ischemia model

After conventional anesthesia, rats were fixed and an incision was made on the neck skin. Common carotid arteries were separated. An incision was made on the middle region of posterior face to expose bilateral first cervical transverse femoral holes. Condensation of the vertebral artery was performed for 2–4 sec, and then permanent bilateral occlusion of the vertebral artery was done, and incisions were closed. After 24 h, carotid arteries on both sides were closed with an artery clip for 20 min, followed by reperfusion. Rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage, death or other pathological changes were excluded from the study.

Method
Vascular intervention

Before surgery, rats in observation group were subjected to gavage administration of aspirin enteric-coated tablets (300 mg/day; state approval no. H41023324; Kaifeng Baiyun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Kaifeng, China) and clopidogrel bisulfate tablets (75 mg/day; state approval no. H20000542; Shenzhen Xinlitai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China) for 3 consecutive days. Experimental animals were anesthetized; the right femoral artery was punctured by Seldinger puncture; the 4F arterial sheath was implanted; angiography was performed with a single bend angiography, and arterial circulation was observed. The 4F micro-guidewire tip was inserted into the carotid artery, and was pushed to pass through the stenosis. Balloon dilatation at stenosis was performed, and stent was placed in the stenosis. Angiography was performed again to assess vascular circulation after stent implantation. Postoperative treatment with aspirin (300 mg/day) and clopidogrel sulfate tablets (75 mg/day) was performed for 6 months, then changed to aspirin at a dose of 100 mg/day.

Treatment using aspirin combined with defibrase

Control rats were subjected to a simple drug treatment program including clopidogrel sulfate (75 mg/day) and aspirin (300 mg/day) for 6 months, then changed to aspirin (100 mg/day). The drug used in control and observation group was produced from the same factory.

Observation index

The observation time of both groups was 12 months. Observation indexes included Vs and Vd before and after 12 months of treatment, incidence of cerebrovascular disease events (cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack) and mortality at 6 and 12 months after treatment. Zea longa 5-point method was used to assess the neurological deficit score (NDS) before and after 6 and 12 months of treatment in each group (8). Zero points: No symptoms of neurological deficit; 1 point: Unable to fully extend the right forelimb; 2 points: Horner sign appears, turning right when crawling; 3 points: The body tilts to the right when crawling; 4 points: Unable to crawl. Higher NDS score indicated more severe neurological dysfunction in rats.

Statistical analysis

SPSS 13.0 software (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Normal distribution quantitative data were compared by using t-test and ANOVA with SNK-Q test as a post hoc test. Intragroup comparisons were performed by using paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA with Fisher's exact test as a post hoc test. Qualitative data were treated with χ2 test. Data with theoretical frequency <5 were subjected to Fisher's exact probability method. All P-values represented bilateral probability, and test level α was 0.05

Results

Discussion

ICVD is a class of diseases characterized by local neurological dysfunction as a result of cerebral blood flow disorders caused by cerebral arterial thrombosis. Ischemic brain tissue can be irreversibly damaged in a short time and cause systemic reactions (912). The key point of clinically treating ICVD is to open the occluded vessels as soon as possible, so as to restore blood flow to the brain to improve the patient's prognosis (13,14). Main treatment of ICVD, including thrombolysis, fibrinolysis, anticoagulant, anti-platelet aggregation and other drug treatment, usually provide poor treatment outcomes (15). Vascular interventional therapy, including stenosis angioplasty, acute arterial occlusive thrombolysis and recanalization of chronic occlusion arteries, is achieved by unblocking the obstructed blood vessel by placing a stent in the obstructed blood vessel to restore blood flow (16). Interventional therapy, as a new treatment, has the advantages of simple operation, high tolerance and few complications, which can reduce the morbidity and mortality of the disease (17,18).

In this study, rat models of cerebral ischemia were established. Rats were randomly divided into vascular intervention group and aspirin combined with defibrase drug treatment group. The Vs, Vd and neurological deficit of the vascular lesion and the severity of cerebrovascular disease events were compared to explore the therapeutic values of vascular intervention in the treatment of ICVD. All experiments were performed by using scientific and standardized methods with strict internal quality control, so the results had high accuracy and reliability.

Vascular intervention and aspirin combined defibrase were used in the treatment of cerebral ischemia and therapeutic effects were compared. Before treatment, no significant differences in Vs and Vd at vascular lesions were found between the groups. After treatment, Vs and Vd were lower in observation group than those in control group. After treatment, values of Vs and Vd in observation group were significantly reduced, while no significant changes of Vs and Vd were found in control group. The data suggest that vascular intervention can reduce blood flow resistance to improve ICVD. Wang et al (19) and Singh et al (20) showed that interventional therapy can increase patients' survival and improve their quality of life.

Neurological deficits of rats in observation group and control group were scored before and after 6 and 12 months of treatment. Results showed that NDS score of observation group was lower than that of control group at 6 and 12 months after treatment. NDS score in control group was not significantly changed at 6 and 12 months after treatment compared with pretreatment values, while NDS score in observation group was significantly reduced at 6 and 12 months after treatment compared with pretreatment values. The data show that interventional treatment of blood vessels can improve neurological function in patients, which is consistent with the findings reported by Ha et al (21). Vascular intervention can expand stenosed blood vessels, thereby restoring brain tissue blood supply, promoting the repair of damaged brain regeneration and improving patient's neurological function. Rankine-Mullings et al (22) showed that the cerebral blood flow was improved, and the incidence of neuronal damage in brain tissue decreased after interventional treatment.

This study also found that incidence of cerebral infarction, transient ischemic incidence and mortality in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group at 12 months after treatment, indicating that vascular intervention can reduce the incidence of cerebrovascular disease events. Interventional therapy can restore normal blood flow to ischemic brain tissue, promote recovery of neurological function, and reduce the incidence of cerebrovascular events by implanting scaffolds at stenotic sites of diseased vessels and dilating stenosed vessels (23). Endovascular stents also promote the repair of damaged intima and prevent the shedding of arterial plaque and thrombus formation (24,25).

In conclusion, intracranial vascular interventional therapy can achieve satisfactory outcomes in the treatment of cerebral ischemia, and can effectively improve the patient's neurological function, reduce the incidence of cerebrovascular disease, extend the patient's survival time and improve the quality of life. Therefore, this technique should be popularized.
