METHODS
Kunming mice were randomly divided into the normal temperature group, the hyperthermia group, the normal saline (NS) group and the
Artesunate is an important agent for cerebral malaria and all kinds of other severe malaria because it is highly efficient, lowly toxic, and well-tolerated. Loads of research pointed out that it had widespread pharmacological activities such as antiparasites, antitumor, anti-inflammation,
Cerebral malaria is the most severe and rapidly fatal complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection. Despite appropriate anti-malarial treatment using quinine or artemisinin derivatives, 10-20% of mortality still occurs during the acute phase. To improve cerebral malaria outcome, adjunctive
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide that also result in long-term disability. Endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) within subventricular (SVZ) and dentate gyrus (DG) zone, stimulated by cerebral infarction, can promote neural function recovery. However, the
Fever accompanying vaso-occlusive crisis is a common presentation in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and carries a broad differential diagnosis. Here, we report a case of transfusion-transmitted malaria in a patient with SCD presenting with acute vaso-occlusive crisis and rapidly
