简介:摘要ObjectiveTo determine the mechanisms on cognitive improvement with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(L-DLPFC) in subacute stroke patients.MethodsTwenty-eight first-ever stroke patients with cognitive impairment were recruited. All subjects were randomly assigned to real or sham stimulation group and completed 10 sessions of rTMS for 2 weeks. 10 Hz of navigation rTMS were applied (5 s stimulation and 25 s resting, total 1500 pulses) on the L-DLPFC at 80% of resting motor threshold (rMT). At the time of baseline, 1 month and 3 months after stroke onset, all subjects received the Korean-mini mental state examination (K-MMSE), Korean-Montreal Cognitive Assessment (K-MOCA), Upper Fugl-Meyer Assessment (U-FMA), Korean-Modified Bathel Index (K-MBI), European Quality of life 5 Dimension (EQ-5D), Korean-Geriatric Depression Scale (K-GDS). In addition, the continuous performance test (CPT), vascular cognitive impairment harmonization standards (VCIHS), motor evoked potentials (MEP), event-related potentials (ERPs), resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were completed at baseline and 3 months after stroke onset.ResultsAfter the intervention period, the real stimulation group improved significantly in the K-MMSE, K-MOCA, K-MBI and K-GDS compared with sham stimulation group. And these effects lasted after three months in MOCA. There was no significant time × group effect among the U-FMA, EQ-5D, and CPT. Among the VCIHS parameters, Z-scores of executive and memory function showed higher delta value between baseline and 3months timepoints in rTMS group. The MEP showed higher TIME × GROUP interaction in the intracortical inhibition value on right hand. It suggests that there is beneficial effect on premotor cortical excitability of rTMS. The change of P300 amplitude on F3 and C3 was more increased in real stimulation group significantly only in the auditry Oddball paradigm. The RS fMRI analysis results showed more increased functional connectivity of Cingulate Gyrus, Supramarginal Gyrus, Cerebelum Crus2, Precentral gyrus, Middle temporal gyrus and Inferial temporal gyrus after stimulation compared with the sham group. Brain activation in the cingulum showed a tendency that after 3 months, fractional anisotropy (FA) and fiber number (FN) in real group were larger than sham group, however there was no significant effect. The relationship between the change of K-MOCA and fractional anisotropy of the cingulum was found positive correlation in all subjects.ConclusionsThese results suggest that high frequency rTMS on the L-DLPFC improves cognitive function and functional network activity in subacute stroke. The rTMS seems to be a recommendable treatment in stroke patients with cognitive impairment.

简介:摘要ObjectiveThe present study aimed to investigate the effects of rTMS on astrocytic polarization during cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury.MethodsThree rTMS protocols were applied to primary astrocytes under normal and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) conditions. Cell survival, proliferation, and phenotypic changes were assessed after 2-day treatment. Astrocytes culture medium (ACM) from control, OGD/R, and OGD/R + rTMS groups were mixed with neuronal medium to culture neurons for 48 h and 7 days, in order to explore the influence on neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity. In vivo, rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), and received posterior orbital intravenous injection of ACM collected from different groups at reperfusion, and at 3 days post reperfusion. The apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra, infarct volumes, and the modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS) were evaluated at 1 week after reperfusion, and cognitive functions were evaluated using the Morris Water Maze (MWM) tests. Finally, the 10 Hz rTMS was directly applied to MCAO rats to verify the rTMS effects on astrocytic polarizationResultsAmong these three frequencies, the 10 Hz protocol exerted the greatest potential to modulate astrocytic polarization after OGD/R injury. Classically activated and A1 markers were significantly inhibited by rTMS treatment. In OGD/R model, the concentration of pro-inflammatory mediator TNF-α decreased from 57.7 to 23.0 pg/mL, while anti-inflammatory mediator IL-10 increased from 99.0 to 555.1 pg/mL in the ACM after rTMS treatment. The ACM collected from rTMS-treated astrocytes significantly alleviated neuronal apoptosis induced by OGD/R injury, and promoted neuronal plasticity. In MCAO rat model, the ACM collected from rTMS treatment decreased neuronal apoptosis and infarct volumes, and improved cognitive functions. The neurotoxic astrocytes were simultaneously inhibited after rTMS treatment.ConclusionsInhibition of neurotoxic astrocytic polarization is a potential mechanism for the effectiveness of high-frequency rTMS in cerebral ischemic stroke.
简介:摘要ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of different combinations of rTMS and cognitive training (rTMS-COG) on PSCI and identify the optimal combination protocol.MethodsA cerebral infarction rat model was established by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO). The Morris water maze test was conducted to assess the cognitive function of rats. RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were employed to study the underlying mechanisms.ResultsrTMS, COG and rTMS-COG all had beneficial effects on PSCI, while cognitive training immediately after rTMS (rTMS-COG0h) achieved a better effect than cognitive training 1 h and 4 h after rTMS, rTMS and COG. We identified 179 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 24 upregulated and 155 downregulated genes, between the rTMS-COG0h and rTMS groups. GO analysis revealed that the major categories associated with the DEGs were antigen procession and presentation, regulation of protein phosphorylation and axoneme assembly. KEGG analysis showed that the DEGs were enriched in processes related to phagosome, circadian entrainment, dopaminergic synapse, apelin signaling pathway, long-term depression, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, axon guidance and glucagon signaling pathway. PPI analysis identified Calb2, Rsph1, Ccdc114, Acta2, Ttll9, Dnah1, Dlx2, Dlx1, Ccdc40 and Ccdc113 as related genes.ConclusionsThese findings prompt exploration of the potential mechanisms and key genes involved in the effect of rTMS-COG0h on PSCI.

简介:摘要ObjectiveTo identify the effects of rTMS intervention on PSCI patients and its potential neural correlates to behavioral improvements.MethodsWe recruited 34 PSCI patients for 20 sessions of 10 Hz rTMS or no-stim control treatments over the left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Cognitive function was evaluated with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, Victoria Stroop Test, Rivermead Behavior Memory Test, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessed with the Modified Barthel Index. 14 patients received functional MRI scan, a useful non-invasive technique of determining how structurally segregated and functionally specialized brain areas were interconnected, which was reflected by blood oxygenation level-dependent signals. The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) were applied as the analytical approaches, which were used to measure the resting-state brain activity and functional connection.ResultsrTMS improved cognitive functions and ADLs for PSCI patients relative to patients who received no-stim control treatment. The cognitive improvements correlated to increased ALFF of the left medial prefrontal cortex, and increased FC of right medial prefrontal cortex and right ventral anterior cingulate cortex.Conclusions10 Hz rTMS at DLPFC could improve cognitive function and quality of life for PSCI patients, which is associated with an altered frontal cortical activity.
