OBJECTIVE
To explore the pharmacologic mechanism of cinnabar (CA) and realgar (RG) in Angong Niuhuang powder (ANP) by way of studying the characteristics of their effects on organism under physiologic and pathologic states.
METHODS
SD rats were randomly divided into six groups, 8-10 rats in each
A study of the alterations in lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzyme patterns in isolated grey and white matter edema fluid and in peripheral blood is described with a view to possible clinical use in severe brain-injury. The breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, caused by the
Aim: To investigate the changes in levels of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme in corneal edema after cataract surgery with trans-corneal oxygenation therapy.
Methods:
Total lactate dehydrogenase (LD; EC 1.1.1.27) activity in serum and proportions of LD isoenzymes were quantified on admission and discharge in 170 selected (from 240) patients with acute pulmonary edema (APE). The patients were divided into group A, 75 patients with normal LD values (less than 225
OBJECTIVE
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinicoradiologic entity characterized by headache, blurred vision and seizures with typical parieto-occipital predominantly vasogenic edema, occasionally with cytotoxic edema. The association between the degree and type of edema in
Isolated rabbit corneas bathed in Krebs-bicarbonate Ringer solution were observed for thickness changes after a 90 minute equilibration period. Control corneas swelled an average of 0.5 micron/hr, and placement of a polymethylmechacrylate (PMMA) contact lens on the epithelial surface caused the
The cytoskeleton of the endothelial cell has been suggested to regulate endothelial barrier function. We investigated the role of actin in the maintenance of pulmonary capillary integrity in perfused rabbit lungs. As a tool for selective perturbation of actin, we employed Clostridium botulinum C2
Adult rats intubated with a single dose of ethanol (alcohol; approximately 5 g/kg) for 5 to 10 successive days incur neurodegeneration in the entorhinal cortex, dentate gyrus, and olfactory bulbs accompanied by cerebrocortical edema and electrolyte (Na+, K+) accumulation. The brain damage is not
OBJECTIVE
To assess the therapeutic effect of melatonin on heat-induced acute lung inflammation and injury in rats.
METHODS
Heatstroke was induced by exposing anesthetized rats to heat stress (36 °C, 100 min). Rats were treated with vehicle or melatonin (0.2, 1, 5 mg/kg) by intravenous
Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) is a well-known environmental contaminant and carcinogen. Its sources include tobacco smoke, automobile exhaust, forest fire, and other combustion processes. Farnesol, an active principle of Vachellia farnesiana and other aromatic plants, possesses preventive properties
Objectives: To explore the isolated or combined effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and vibration on human vocal fold fibroblasts (hVFF) in an in vitro setting in order to elucidate their influence in the pathophysiology of Reinke's
The 21-year-old male patient was admitted to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital with chief complaints of "skin rash for 1 year and edema for 2 months". He was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with renal, cardiac and
OBJECTIVE
The hypothesis was that Na+/H+ exchange occurring during normothermic cardioplegia contributes to the development of myocardial edema during subsequent reperfusion and impairs functional recovery.
METHODS
Rat hearts were perfused in a Langendorff apparatus and submitted to 60 minutes of
