Cerebroprotective Effects of a Parenteral Flunarizine Formulation
Since the synthesis of flunarizine over 25 years ago, there have been over 230 experimental and 150 clinical peer-reviewed descriptions of its pharmacological activity. According to the proposed WHO classifica...

Calcium Movements in Brain During Failure of Energy Metabolism
The interstitial ion concentrations in brain are maintained within narrow limits. Changes in plasma concentrations are effectively dealt with by the low ionic permeability of the blood-brain barrier combined w...

Hormone receptors in vestibular schwannomas
The possibility that steroid hormones play a role in vestibular schwannoma proliferation has been suggested by a number of investigators. There is conflicting information about the presence of steroid hormone ...

Osteosarcoma of the meninges in association with glioblastoma
Primary intracranial osteosarcoma not originating in the skull is a distinctly rare tumour, as is post-irradiation sarcoma of short latency. The authors report the case of a 56 year old caucasian male who unde...

Article
Apoptosis in astrocytic neoplasms
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by specific morphologic and biochemical properties. Tumorgenesis is the consequence not only of cell proliferation but also the loss of the ability to...

The Clot Thickens — Thrombolysis and Combination Therapies
Stroke in the human is most frequently caused by an intra-arterial clot. In order to investigate human stroke, appropriate and relevant animal models must be selected. Since the only approved treatment of stro...

Delayed Gene Expression and Ischemic Brain Injury
There is increasing evidence that cerebral ischemic injury occurs at a slower pace than previously believed. Although in areas of severe ischemia tissue damage occurs relatively rapidly, in regions of less-sev...

Protein Expression and Brain Plasticity After Transient Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in the Rat
After a stroke, both animals and humans can regain lost function. The molecular basis of this functional plasticity is unknown. In this manuscript, we describe developmental protein expression in the ischemic ...

Morphological Presentation of Posttraumatic Vasospasm
Posttraumatic vasospasm is a well-recognized sequela of head injury. The risk factors associated with posttraumatic vasospasm have not been well defined. We studied 119 consecutive patients with head injury to...

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Plays an Important Role in Hemolysate-Induced Contraction in Rabbit Basilar Artery
Object. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is an important signaling factor in the vascular proliferation and contraction, the two features of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemor...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Role of Tyrosine Kinase in Fibroblast Compaction and Cerebral Vasospasm
Hemolysate, a proposed causative agent for cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage, produces contraction of cerebral arteries by activation of tyrosine kinases. In addition, hemolysate accelerates...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Oxyhemoglobin Produces Necrosis in Cultured Smooth Muscle Cells
Object. Myonecrosis in the tunica media, which is defined morphologically, is one of the most striking alterations in the cerebral arterial wall following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this s...

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...

Chapter and Conference Paper
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 ...

Chapter and Conference Paper
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

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...
