Peritumoral Brain Edema and Cortical Damage by Meningioma
Forty supratentorial meningiomas were analyzed to identify factors causing peritumoral brain edema. Parasagittal, sphenoid ridge, and olfactory groove meningiomas induced edema more frequently than those in ot...

The Effect of BAY K-8644 on Cytotoxic Edema Induced by Total Ischemia of Rat Brain
The calcium channel activator BAY K-8644, a dihydropyridine (DHP) derivative, has been shown to possess neurochemical and behavioral activities, but its effect on ischemic brain damage has remained unknown. Th...

Morphological Changes of Cultured Neuronal and Endothelial Cells by Human Albumin
The role of plasma proteins in the mechanisms of brain tissue damage in ischemic events remains to be clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the presence of albumin in the extracellula...

An Assessment of Progression of Brain Edema with Amino Acid Levels in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Changes in Electroencephalogram in an Adult Cat Model of Cold Brain Injury
We investigated the relationship between the changes of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and concentration of amino acids (AAs) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using a model of cold brain injury. A cold injury was ...

Effect of YM737, a New Glutathione Analogue, on Ischemic Brain Edema
We investigated the effect of YM737, a monoester of glutathione (GSH), on brain edema and GSH content after occlusion of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) in the rat. The drug possesses stronger radical scavengin...

Effect of Glutamate and Its Antagonist on Shift of Water from Extra- to Intracellular Space After Cerebral Ischaemia
The effects of glutamate and the excitatory amino acid antagonist, MK-801, were investigated on the time course of the shift of water from extracellular to intracellular space (progression or cytotoxic oedema)...

Correlation Between Inhibitory Effect of Retinoid on N-Nitrosomethylbutylamine-Induced Esophageal Carcinogenesis and Levels of Cellular Retinoic Acid-Binding Protein
Epidemiological studies have suggested that low levels of serum retinol increase susceptibility to cancer [1, 2] and that there is an inverse relationship between vitamin A intake and risk of develo** cancer...
