BACKGROUND
Citrin, encoded by SLC25A13, is a component of the malate-aspartate shuttle, which is the main NADH-transporting system in the liver. Citrin deficiency causes neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis (NICCD), which usually resolves within the first year of life. However, small numbers of adults
A 13-year-old adolescent boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus (1b) presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and cerebral edema. Grossly lipemic serum and lipemia retinals due to extremely high triglyceride (TG) level were observed without evidence of xanthoma or xanthelasma. Cerebral edema was
BACKGROUND
To analyze the clinical features of acute severe hepatitis (ASH) and subacute severe hepatitis (SSH) by comparison analysis.
METHODS
The clinical features of 215 cases with ASH and SSH from 1995 to 2005 were retrospectively analyzed by using chi-test, t-test and regression
Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a known, but uncommon complication of diabetic ketoacidosis. We discuss the case of a 23-year-old, previously healthy, woman who initially presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Grossly lipemic serum due to extremely high triglyceride (38.6 mmol/L)
3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) is an amphetamine derivative and is a popular type of drug that is abused due to its effects on the central nervous system (CNS), including alertness and euphoria. However, life-threatening (brain edema, heart failure, and coma) and fatal
Male and female, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) with blood pressures ranging from 190-210 mmHg were subjected unilateral or bilateral carotid artery ligation. Representative numbers of animals were killed 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 and 48 hours later. Severe cerebral ischemia caused a significant
Repeatedly bred male rats which develop arteriosclerosis spontaneously were subjected to unilateral nephrectomy, 1% saline drinking water, and 2 mg subcutaneous injections of deoxycorticosterone acetate per animal weekly for 7 weeks to induce severe hypertension (+/- 175 mmHg systolic). Acute

HU-211 is a synthetic, nonpsychotropic cannabinoid, which has been shown to act as a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. The cerebroprotective effects of this compound were assessed in a model of closed head injury in rats. Head trauma (HT) was induced in
The effect of intravenous infusion of 10 per cent glycerol on regional cerebral blood flow (using hydrogen bolus and Xenon-133 (133Xe) clearance methods) and metabolism was investigated in 57 patients with recent cerebral infarction. Hemispheric blood flow (HBF) increased, together with increase in
