baicalin/edema

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of mannitol (MN), baicalin (BC) and tetramethylpyrazine (TMPZ) on intracranial hypertension (ICH) of infectious brain edema induced by Pertussis bacilli (PB) in rabbits. METHODS Forty-five rabbits were divided randomly into five groups: the normal saline group (A);

Baicalin is a flavonoid compound purified from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis, which possesses multiple biological activities. Previous studies have shown that baicalin is protective in ischemic cerebral diseases. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of baicalin on brain

OBJECTIVE To compare the therapeutic effects of baicalin, mannitol and dexamethasone on infective brain edema(IBE) in rats. METHODS Forty normal Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats (200 +/- 30) g by weight were divided into 5 groups randomly: (1) normal saline control group(NS, n = 8); (2) infective brain edema

OBJECTIVE To observe the changes of glutamates (Glu) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) contents in brain tissue of infectious brain edema, and effects of baicalin on them in rats. METHODS The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the Glu and GABA contents in

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of baicalin(BC) and dexamethasone(DXM) on interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-alpha) in brain tissues of infectious brain edema. METHODS The infectious brain edema model induced by pertussis bacilli(PB) was used. Brain water content(WC),

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the inhibitory effect of baicalin on iron-dependent lipid peroxidation (IDLPO) and the protective effect on pertussis bacilli-induced brain edema in rats. METHODS In vitro, the inhibitory effect of baicalin and deferoxamine (DFX) was studied at different concentrations on IDLPO

In subarachnoid hemorrhagic brain injury, the early crucial events are edema formation due to inflammatory responses and blood-brain barrier disruption. Baicalin, a flavone glycoside, has antineuroinflammatory and antioxidant properties. We examined the effect of baicalin in subarachnoid hemorrhagic

Multiple exposures to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation cause critical damage to skin that may lead to the development of several cutaneous disorders including skin cancer. Protection against sun-induced damage is therefore a highly desirable goal. Chemoprevention via plant-based agents may be a

BACKGROUND Solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, in particular UVB with a wavelength range between 290 and 320 nm, induces different hazardous effects on the skin, including sunburn, photoaging and cancer. Protection against sun-induced damage is therefore a highly desirable goal. Chemoprevention is

"Baicalin, a major flavonoid compound isolated from the dry roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has been shown to be neuroprotective after ischemic brain injury. However, little is known about its effects on brain injury following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, we evaluated the

Baicalin is one of the main active ingredients of choleretic traditional Chinese medicine drug Radix Scutellariae. The aim of this study was to explore the pharmacokinetic characteristics of baicalin in rats with 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE)-induced intrahepatic cholestasis (IC) based on its choleretic

OBJECTIVE To investigate the nerve protective effect and mechanism of baicalin on newborn rats with hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD). METHODS A total of 64 SD newborn rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, nerve growth factor group and baicalin group, with 16 in each group.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect of baicalin at different doses administered for different periods of time in the treatment of renal interstitial fibrosis in rats with unliateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and related mechanisms. METHODS Sixty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of baicalin on nerve tissue in rat with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS Rats were randomly divided into five groups: the sham-operated group, the ICH model group, and the three baicalin treated groups treated respectively with

BACKGROUND Baicalin is one of the principal flavonoids isolated from the dried root of Scutellariae Baicalensis Georgi and has been widely used as a traditional herbal medicine to suppress brain edema and reduce cerebral ischemic damage. However, the effects of baicalin on the blood-brain barrier
