Abstract:Objective To investigate the correlation between the serum levels of microRNA-130a (miR-130a) and microRNA-210 (miR-210) and early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods A total of 82 ICH patients admitted to our hospital from July 2018 to June 2021 were selected as the ICH group, and 60 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations in our hospital during the same time period were selected as the control group. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect serum miR-130a and miR-210 levels in all subjects. According to whether ICH patients developed END, they were divided into END group and non-END group and the clinical data of patients in the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting the occurrence of END in ICH patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to analyze the predictive values of serum miR-130a and miR-210 for the occurrence of END in ICH patients.Results The serum levels of miR-130a and miR-210 in the ICH group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of END in ICH patients in our study was 20.73%. In the END group, admission systolic blood pressure (SBP), admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, hematoma volume, percentage of hematoma with blood extension into the ventricles, and serum levels of miR-130a and miR-210 were higher than those in the non-END group (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the volume of hematoma [O^R = 2.846 (95% CI: 1.253, 6.784) ], the hematoma with blood extension into the ventricles [O^R = 2.787 (95% CI: 1.877, 5.862) ], serum miR-130a [O^R = 3.347 (95% CI: 2.475, 8.275) ] and serum miR-210 [O^R = 3.086 (95% CI: 2.051, 7.436)] were factors affecting the occurrence of END in ICH patients (P < 0.05). ROC analysis revealed that the AUC of serum miR-130a and miR-210 for predicting the occurrence of END in ICH patients was 0.824 (95% CI: 0.724, 0.899) and 0.868 (95% CI: 0.776, 0.933), respectively.Conclusions Serum miR-130a and miR-210 are highly expressed in ICH patients and may affect the occurrence of END. Thus, they can be established as potential indicators for evaluating the occurrence of END in ICH patients.
