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 ...

Chapter and Conference Paper
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...

A Novel Drug Delivery System as Prophylaxis for Cerebral Vasospasm
Experimental work has extensively demonstrated that calcium antagonists can reverse established angiographically identified vasospasm when administered by the intrathecal route, despite being ineffective when ...

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...

Chapter and Conference Paper
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

Chapter and Conference Paper
Apoptosis in Basilar Endothelial Cells in a Canine Double Hemorrhage Model
Cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a combination of prolonged contraction and vessel remodeling that may lead to cerebral ischemia or infarction [2]. Morphological studies of cerebral arter...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Role of MAPK in Chronic Cerebral Vasospasm
Many extracellular stimuli (including growth factors, hormones, stress, elevated temperature and G-protein coupled receptor agonists) initialize the phosphorylation cascades leading to the activation of mitoge...

Chapter and Conference Paper
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...

Cell Signaling: Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases and Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex interaction of primary and secondary processes that may require days to evolve. Injury processes are related to the magnitude and type of TBI and the resulting systemi...

Chapter
Apoptosis
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a complex and strictly regulated cellular event. A prerequisite for apoptosis is the existence of highly conserved death programs within the cell genome. The induction o...

Primary malignant lymphoma of the brain: analysis of MMAC1 (PTEN) tumor suppressor gene
With the use of RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction), Northern blot analysis, and Western blot analysis, seven primary brain lymphomas were examined for the state of the MMAC1 tumor suppres...

Metabolic Alterations in Cerebrospinal Fluid from Double Hemorrhage Model of Dogs
Even though cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) causes cerebral ischemia or infarction, the metabolic alterations in cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) after SAH have not been studied. This study wa...

Regional differences within the human supraspinous and interspinous ligaments: a sheet plastination study
The extent to which neighboring muscles and the fascia contribute to the formation of the supraspinous and interspinous ligaments is not clear from the literature. The purpose of this investigation is to exam...

Open AccessChromosome 4q;10q translocations; Comparison with different ethnic populations and FSHD patients
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the weakness of facial, shoulder-girdle and upper arm muscles. Most patients with FSHD have fewer numbers of tan...

Multiple hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) expands the therapeutic window in acute spinal cord injury in rats
Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been reported to improve neurological recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI). In the present study, we examined whether multiple HBO expands the therapeutic window...

Highly polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) positive cells are increased and change localization in rat hippocampus by exposure to repeated kindled seizures
The highly polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSANCAM) is involved in migration of neural stem cells as well as in neural plasticity. Immunoreactive PSA-NCAM expression was examined in rats with rep...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Matrix metalloproteinases are not involved in early brain edema formation after cardiac arrest in rats
Resuscitation from cardiac arrest (CA) often results in a poor neurological outcome possibly due to an incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology of brain injury following CA-induced global cerebral ische...

Heat shock proteins expression in brain stem after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats
The pathogenesis of brain damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) especially at molecular or gene level remains unclear. We used complimentary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) macroarray technique and compared ...
