Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationship between serum levels of microRNA-107 (miR-107), microRNA-22-3p (miR-22-3p) and early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).Methods A total of 98 HICH patients admitted to Beijing Anzhen Nanchong Hospital of Capital Medical University (Nanchong Central Hospital) from March 2022 to June 2025 were selected as the study subjects. The levels of miR-107 and miR-22-3p were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. According to the occurrence of END, patients were divided into the END group (n = 21) and the non-END group (n = 77). The baseline data and levels of miR-107 and miR-22-3p were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of END in HICH patients. Point-biserial correlation was used to analyze the correlation between serum miR-107, miR-22-3p and END occurrence in HICH patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the value of miR-107 and miR-22-3p in predicting END in HICH patients.Results Among 98 patients with HICH, 21 cases developed END, accounting for 21.43%. The END group had a longer duration of hypertension, larger hematoma volume, and higher levels of miR-107 and miR-22-3p than the non-END group, while the GCS score was significantly lower (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified a long course of hypertension [O^R = 3.532 (95% CI: 1.156, 10.791) ], large hematoma volume [O^R = 1.148 (95% CI: 1.074, 1.226) ], high miR-107 level [O^R = 33.809 (95% CI: 1.809, 631.732) ], and high miR-22-3p level [O^R=39.295 (95% CI: 3.248, 475.419) ] as independent risk factors for END in HICH patients (P < 0.05), a high GCS score was a protective factor [O^R=0.551 (95% CI: 0.315, 0.965), P < 0.05]. Serum miR-107 (r = 0.602, P < 0.05) and miR-22-3p (r = 0.596, P < 0.05) levels were positively correlated with END occurrence. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis results showed that the sensitivity of serum miR-107, miR-22-3p and their combination for evaluating END in HICH patients was 66.7% (95% CI: 0.430, 0.854), 76.2% (95% CI: 0.528, 0.918), 85.7% (95% CI: 0.637, 0.970), the specificity was 75.3% (95% CI: 0.642, 0.844), 74.0% (95% CI: 0.628, 0.834), 83.1% (95% CI: 0.729, 0.907), the area under the curve was 0.791 (95% CI: 0.682, 0.899), 0.788 (95% CI: 0.673, 0.903), 0.863 (95% CI: 0.780, 0.946), respectively.Conclusion Serum miR-107 and miR-22-3p are factors associated with END in HICH patients. Combined detection can better predict the occurrence of END in HICH patients.
