To analyze and improve ZJUSAH classification for primary brainstem hematoma, we retrospectively reviewed 211 patients with primary brainstem hemorrhage who were admitted to our institution between January 2014 and October 2020. The primary clinical outcomes were the 30-day survival rate and 90-day consciousness recovery rate, which were evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the prognostic model.

Maintenance of energy level to drive movements and material exchange with the environment is a basic principle of life. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) senses energy level and is a major regulator of cellular energy responses. The gamma subunit of AMPK senses elevated ratio of AMP to ATP and allosterically activates the alpha catalytic subunit to phosphorylate downstream effectors.
