The neuroprotective efficacy of growth hormone on a focal spinal cord trauma induced alteration in the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) and edema formation was examined in a rat model. Under Equithesin anaesthesia, one segment laminectomy was done over the T10-11 segments. Spinal cord injury was
Unilaterally nephrectomized rats treated with deoxycorticosterone and 1% sodium chloride in their drinking water developed severe systemic hypertension with marked cardiac and renal lesions. No pathologic changes could be detected in the retinal vasculature by light microscopy, but electron
BACKGROUND
The element lanthanum (La) can be used as a tracer for verification of membrane permeability. The aim of this study was to establish whether 1) distribution of La in the myocardium of rat hearts depends on the degree of ischemic stress and 2) morphometrically determined cell and
A possible protective effect of glucocorticoids on the ischemic myocardium was investigated in in situ dog hearts subjected to regional ischemia and in isolated rat hearts subjected to global ischemia. In the whole-animal preparation, the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was occluded
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect and the relevant potential mechanism of nonpeptide neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist L-703,606 in the edema formation after burn injury.
METHODS
L-703,606 treatment was performed in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at early stage after deep partial-thickness skin
The aim of our study was to develop a model of high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) using an acute, hypobaric hypoxia environment combined with exhaustive exercise. Forty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a plains control group (PC group) and a plateau altitude hypoxia group
An electron microscopy study was conducted to investigate structural as well as functional changes of the blood-brain barrier in hepatic encephalopathy. Hepatic encephalopathy was induced in rats by two-stage hepatic devascularization producing ischemic liver damage. The permeability of the
Bradykinin is a mediator of vasogenic brain edema formation. Recent reports suggest that bradykinin interacts with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) system in the central nervous system (CNS). However, role of bradykinin in spinal cord injury (SCI) induced alterations in the blood-spinal cord barrier
BACKGROUND
Lanthanum carbonate, a new phosphate binder, is effective in reducing serum phosphorus levels in patients with end-stage renal disease. A 1-year extension study to two randomized controlled studies was conducted to evaluate the long-term safety of lanthanum carbonate in patients who
Cerebral edema is a critical complication after intravascular thrombolysis post-acute stroke. However, clinical options remained limited for treating cerebral edema after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In the present study, astragaloside IV, a purified extract from astragalus
We evaluated the acute toxicity effects of lanthanum (La(III)) on gill and liver of rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus). The median lethal concentration of La (III) at 96 h was 1.92 mg L-1. Rare minnow were reared in freshwater and exposed to 0.04, 0.08, 0.16, 0.32 and 0.80 mg L-1 La (III) for 21 d.
The distribution patterns of ionic Lanthanum (La3+; mol. wt. 139) were evaluated after 15, 30 and 60 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion in perfused-fixed rats. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability to Evans blue (EB) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP; mol. wt. 40,000) in vivo was also evaluated.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect of high power microwave (HPM) radiation on the structure and function of blood-testis barrier (BTB) in rats.
METHODS
One hundred and sixty-six male Wistar rats were treated by heart perfusion of lanthanum-glutaraldehyde solution and tail vein injection of evans blue
Using lanthanum tracer, we investigated the ultrastructure and the cell membrane permeability of mouse cardiac muscles in the early stage of severe burns. The main pathological changes included loosening and flocculation of myofibrils, local dilation of intercalated discs, increase and degeneration
Blood-brain barrier permeability was investigated in acute focal ischemia after MCA occlusion and reperfusion. Four kind of tracers were used: sodium fluorescein and ionic lanthanum as a small molecular tracer, and Evans blue and HRP as a macromolecular tracer. BBB permeability to the tracers was
