    Indomethacin and Cyclosporin a Inhibit in Vitro Ischemia-Induced Expression of ICAM-1 and Chemokines in Human Brain Endothelial Cells

    Brain inflammation has been implicated in the development of brain edema and secondary brain damage in ischemia and trauma. Mechanisms involved in leukocyte infiltration across the blood-brain barrier are stil...

    Thrombosis After Ischemic Stroke-Platelet Aggregation

    After ischemic stroke secondary thrombosis contributes to the expansion of the lesion. This manuscript describes the underlying mechanisms responsible for cerebral thrombosis after stroke. We hypothesize that ...

    Delayed Clot Removal and Experimental Vasospasm

    It is known that vasospastic arteries have reduced compliance and contractility and exhibit changes in expression of various proteins [3, 1]. It is possible that they may be altered in a manner that reduces their...

    Apoptosis in Cerebral Vasospasm After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    We hypothesize that the mechanism of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage may not be a delayed and prolonged vascular response to certain spasmogens but a more complicated cascade, including contra...

    Molecular Weight Interactions in Experimental Vasospasm

    Vasospasm is believed to be primarily due to the release of substances from the subarachnoid clot that act upon the arterial wall to contract the artery initially and then produce pharmacological and morpholog...

    Complimentary Deoxyribonucleic Acid Array Analysis of Cerebral Arteries after Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

    Cerebral vasospasm is a prolonged vasoconstriction that develops on average 3 days after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), peaks 7 to 8 days after the hemorrhage and then slowly resolves over the next 5 to 7 days [6

    Role of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase in the Contractions of Rabbit Basilar Artery Induced by Hemolysate, Oxyhemoglobin, and Bloody CSF

    It has been suggested that tyrosine kinases are involved in smooth muscle contraction [1] induced by hemolysate or other spasmogens and might be involved in cerebral vasospasm. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (M...
