    Notizen: Summary Platelet activating factor (PAF) content and PAF-acetylhydrolase (PAFAH) activity were measured in the plasma and haematoma of 34 chronic subdural haematoma (CSH) patients. The plasma PAF level in patients with CSH was higher than that in healthy controls. Although there was no correlation between the plasma PAF levels and the interval between the onset of symptoms and the day of sampling, namely, the interval after bleeding, the haematoma PAF level gradually decreased according to the interval after the onset of symptoms. There was no difference between plasma PAFAH activity in patients with CSH and that in healthy controls, and haematoma enzyme activity gradually increased correlated with the interval between the onset of symptoms and surgery. In addition, the localization of PAF in haematoma capsules was histochemically determined. PAF was solely localized to the peri-sinusoidal vessels in the outer membrane of haematoma capsules. Based on these biochemical and histochemical studies, we speculated that PAF may play a role in the development of chronic subdural haematomas.

    Notizen: Summary Delayed ischaemic deficits due to cerebral vasospasm contribute to the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage. We evaluated the usefulness of measuring anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPLs) for prediction of the occurrence of symptomatic vasospasm and the outcome after subarachnoid haemorrhage. 32 consecutive patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms were studied. They were admitted and operated on within 72 hours after the onset of subarachnoid haemorrhage. aPLs such as lupus anticoagulants, anti-cardiolipin IgG and anti-cardiolipin IgM were measured repeatedly after admission. Furthermore, platelet count, platelet aggregability and plasma platelet factor 4 were also measured. Eleven among the 32 patients (34.4%) showed positive in the examination for aPLs. Although aPLs could not predict symptomatic vasospasm, once symptomatic vasospasm occurred, patients with aPLs frequently demonstrated cerebral infarction and there-fore their outcome was worse. aPLs were associated with a severe initial clinical grade and SAH grade on CT scan. Therefore it may explain the association of aPLs with worse outcome. aPLs were detected between 1 and 7 days. Four of 6 patients (67%) with aPLs became negative between 7 and 13 days after subarachnoid haemorrhage. The mechanism of transient aPLs is unclear but it is more likely to occur in the severer grade patients. The reduction in platelet count, the increased platelet aggregability, and the increased plasma platelet factor 4 concentration were also observed in aPLs-positive patients with symptomatic vasospasm.

    Notizen: Summary In order to estimate the contribution of platelet-activating factor (PAF) to the formation of chronic subdural haematomas (CSH), we measured plasma PAF and anti-PAF antibody levels in head-injured patients with and without CSH and normal volunteers. Plasma PAF and anti-PAF IgG levels were higher in patients with CSH than in patients without CSH or in normal volunteers. Furthermore, plasma PAF and anti-PAF IgG levels increased in a time-dependent manner over the first 35 days following head injury. These data suggest that PAF may be involved in the generation of CSH.

    Notizen: Summary The purpose of this study was to measure plasma platelet-activating factor (PAF) concentration, PAF-acetylhydrolase activities, anti-phospholipid antibody (aPLs) titers, and platelet function in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and to assess the association of these variables with the development of cerebral vasospasm. Thirty-two patients with SAH due to ruptured cerebral aneurysm were studied. Plasma PAF concentration, PAF-acetylhydrolase activity, platelet count and aggregability, and plasma factor 4 (PF 4) concentrations were measured regularly until approximately 2 weeks after SAH. aPLs, including lupus anticoagulant and anti-cardiolipin IgG and IgM were measured within 3 days after SAH. Plasma PAF concentration in patients with SAH showed the highest value on the occasion during 5 to 9 days after SAH. The concentrations were higher in patients with infarction due to vasospasm than in patients without cerebral infarction on any occasions after SAH. Plasma PAF-acetylhydrolase activities did not change in patients, regardless of the presence of cerebral infarction after SAH. Increased platelet consumption and aggregability and higher concentrations of PF 4 were detected in patients with cerebral infarction and not in patients without cerebral infarction. The patients with cerebral infarction due to cerebral vasospasm had aPLs more frequently than the control volunteers. Our findings indicate that increased plasma PAF and aPLs may contribute to the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm after SAH.

    Notizen: Summary In order to predict the occurrence of cerebral infarction after aneurysmal surgery in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage, we measured the amount of subarachnoid blood on initial and on post-operative computed tomograms. We used a reliable grading method to estimate the amount of blood on computed tomograms in 24 patients with infarction due to vasospasm and 45 patients without cerebral infarction, all of whom underwent aneurysmal surgery within 48 hours after the ictus. The total amount of subarachnoid blood on admission and on the day after operation was more in the cerebral infarction group than in the non-infarction group. The clearance rate of subarachnoid blood by surgery was lower in patients with cerebral infarction than in patients without infarction and the predominant site of subarachnoid blood corresponded with the site of the infarct. Of 24 patients with cerebral infarction, 22 (92%) belonged to the group whose initial total blood score was more than 10 on admission and whose clearance rate by surgery was less than 50%. Therefore, we propose this range to be an indication for the occurrence of cerebral infarction in postoperative patients due to cerebral vasospasm. The presence of intracerebral haematoma and the amount of ventricular blood and their clearance by surgery were also estimated for the prediction of delayed cerebral infarction after aneurysmal surgery. However, they had no relation to the occurrence of cerebral infarction due to vasospasm.
