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...

Experimental and clinical use of omental transposition for spinal cord pathology
In order to evaluate the ability of the omentum to revascularize the spinal cord in an experimental model, a series of experiments were undertaken. This model which we believe is original, involved local ischa...

Proliferative assessment of craniopharyngioma and epidermoid by nucleolar organizer region staining
The histologic distinction between craniopharyngioma and epidermoid is equivocal. Eight craniopharyngiomas and ten epidermoids (including three dermoids) as well as nine rat (Wistar) abdominal skins that acted...

Histochemistry with Helix pomatia agglutinin in human germ cell tumors: detection of nongerminomatous components and correlation between HPA reactivity and radiosensitivity in germinomas
Binding sites of Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) were examined in 32 patients with intracranial human germ cell tumors. HPA reactivity was found in vascular endothelial cells and erythrocytes of patients with bloo...

Angiographic differentiation of carotid cave aneurysms from ventral paraclinoid carotid aneurysms of Nutik type
Although it appears that carotid cave and ventral paraclinoid carotid aneurysms are different types of internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms, it can be difficult to differentiate the two on the basis of angi...

Microvascular Decompression by the Retromastoid Approach for Idiopathic Hemifacial Spasm: Experience of 300 Patients
Our experience is reported of 300 patients with idiopathic hemifacial spasm in which microvascular decompression was accomplished by the retromastoid approach between April 1985 and January 1992. The surgical ...

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 ...

The effect of sodium thiosulfate on ototoxicity and pharmacokinetics after cisplatin treatment in guinea pigs
The effect of sodium thiosulfate (STS) on the pharmacokinetics and ototoxicity of cisplatin (CDDP) was investigated in guinea pigs. Animals received three intramuscular injections of 7.5 mg/kg CDDP separated b...

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 ...

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...
