Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of Wulingsan subtraction ( WLSS) decoction in the treatment of postoperative brain edema and fever as a complication of glioma neurosurgery. Methods. This retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery of Liaocheng People's Hospital. Patients
A 21-year-old male with an SCN1A mutation died of cerebral herniation 3 h after a seizure occurring during physical activity. Cases of fatal cerebral edema in patients with SCN1A mutations after fever and status epilepticus have been recently reported raising the question whether sodium channel
The effect of whole-body hyperthermia on the development of peritumoral brain oedema and intracranial pressure was studied in cats with intracerebral transplanted tumour. Whole-body hyperthermia was achieved by means of extracorporeal circulation. The temperature within the brain tumour tissue was
Brain edema is characterized by an increase in net brain water content, which results in an increase in brain volume. Although brain edema is associated with a high fatality rate, the cellular and molecular processes of edema remain largely unclear. Here, we developed an in vitro model of ischemic
Methamphetamine (METH) is a powerful and often abused stimulant with potent addictive and neurotoxic properties. While it is generally assumed that multiple chemical substances released in the brain following METH-induced metabolic activation (or oxidative stress) are primary factors underlying
Recent years have witnessed a large number of deaths due to hyperthermia and heat-related illnesses across the globe in human population resulting in great social and medical problems. The detailed mechanisms and probable therapeutic measures have still not been worked out. Sporadic autopsy reports
To clarify the role of brain temperature in permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), rats were injected with methamphetamine (METH 9 mg/kg) at normal (23 degrees C) and warm (29 degrees C) environmental conditions and internal temperatures were monitored both centrally (nucleus accumbens,
The psychostimulant 3,4-,ethylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, "ecstasy") is known to induce hyperthermia and alterations in neurochemical metabolism in the CNS. However, the detailed cellular or molecular mechanisms behind MDMA-induced neurotoxicity are still not well known. Since MDMA induces
The present investigation was undertaken to find out whether whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) alters blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) permeability to exogenously-administered tracers and whether choroid plexus and ependymal cells exhibit morphological alterations in hyperthermia. Rats
