cerium/edema

Thermal injuries of more than 20% body surface area (BSA) result in systemic capillary leakage with subsequent edema. This can similarly be induced by burn plasma transfer (BPT) from burned individuals to healthy rats. We evaluated if cerium nitrate (CN) bathing can prevent edema after BPT.

Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO₂-NPs) have a variety of uses, especially in the production of solar panels, oxygen pumps, gas sensors, computer chips and catalytic converters. Despite their worldwide use, the few published studies demonstrate that metallic nanoparticles, in general, are

Diesel exhaust (DE) exposure induces adverse cardiopulmonary effects. Cerium oxide nanoparticles added to diesel fuel (DECe) increases fuel burning efficiency but leads to altered emission characteristics and potentially altered health effects. Here, we evaluated whether DECe results in greater

Cerium nitrate (CN) was used as a topical antiseptic agent for the treatment of burn wounds and found to reduce the number of anticipated death in burn. This decreased burn related mortality cannot be explained by the control of wound infection alone. In the studies performed to elucidate the

OBJECTIVE To investigate serially the role of catalase detoxification of endogenous H2O2 in the disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and demyelination of experimental optic neuritis. METHODS Serial contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the optic nerves (T1 weighted) and T2

Previously we have shown that a group of patients treated for iron overdose with prolonged deferoxamine (DFO) infusion died of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We now describe a model to investigate the mechanism of this pulmonary toxicity. Mice treated with 1 oral dose of iron (Fe) and

The pathogenesis of reexpansion pulmonary edema is not yet fully understood. We therefore studied its mechanism in a rat model in which the left lung was collapsed by bronchial occlusion for 1 h and then reexpanded and ventilated for an additional 3 h. We then evaluated the production of reactive

Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by increased lung levels of proinflammatory cytokines, inflammation, oxidative stress, edema, and impaired gas exchange. Notably, ALI patients also exhibit pulmonary surfactant abnormalities, including increased levels of phospholipids in their lung lavages.

A prospective resource of pharmacological treatment of ischemic brains stroke is rapid interference using potential neuroprotective materials. Cerium oxide nanoparticles have been shown to defend against blood brain barrier damage in cerebral ischemic brain stroke. While cerium oxide nanoparticles

Background and Purpose- Despite early aneurysm repair and aggressive management for complications, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) results in at least 25% mortality rate and 50% persistent neurological deficit. We investigated whether ceria nanoparticles which have potent antioxidative activities can
