d mannitol/edema

The effects of hyperglycemia on ischemic brain damage, local cerebral blood flow (LCBF), and ischemic cerebral edema were studied in a rat model of transient middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion with a microclip. Hyperglycemia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 50% glucose, and same

We studied the ability of Cryptococcus neoformans to produce the hexitol D-mannitol in vitro and in rabbits with experimental meningitis. Twelve of twelve human isolates of C. neoformans produced D-mannitol in yeast nitrogen base plus 1% glucose and released D-mannitol into the medium. In a pilot

Myocardial water content and infarct size were studied in 39 pigs randomly assigned to a nonintervention group, a group with an intracoronary infusion of a control solution, and a group with a hyperosmotic infusion to 450 mosM by the addition of D-mannitol. The intracoronary solutions were

In rats with D-galactosamine-induced hepatic failure, 14C-D-mannitol transport into the brain was accelerated through an increase of vesicular transport via the blood-brain barrier and thus brain mannitol contents increased. However, the osmolarity of the brain tissue changed little and the

OBJECTIVE Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a defiant challenge for pediatric surgeons. Since 2003, we developed a new protocol aiming for the better outcome. In this study, the usefulness of our new protocol was evaluated. METHODS Forty-six neonates with CDH at the age of less than 24 h

This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in rats using continuous intravenous infusion (tail cuff method) via the posterior vena cava. A catheter was inserted into the posterior vena cava from the femoral vein of 10 females (Experiment 1) and 16

OBJECTIVE We report a risk of worsening of encephalopathy by glycerol infusion when this osmotic agent is used for the treatment of brain edema in patients with adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) caused by citrin deficiency. METHODS We performed a retrospective investigation of 3 patients

Diphenyl phosphate (DPHP) is an aryl phosphate ester (APE) used as an industrial catalyst and chemical additive and is the primary metabolite of flame retardant APEs, including triphenyl phosphate (TPHP). Minimal DPHP-specific toxicity studies have been published despite ubiquitous exposure within

BACKGROUND Adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of SLC25A13 gene encoding citrin and is characterized by recurrent encephalopathy with hyperammonemia. Factors affecting disease progression remain unknown. We report a case with CTLN2, whose

Superoxide (.O-2) is demonstrated to participate at the prostaglandin phase swelling (2-4 h) of carrageenan paw edema. Superoxide production is inhibited in vitro by typical anti-inflammatory drugs, but these drugs did not scavenge superoxide which was produced by xanthine oxidase. Phosphate,

To investigate the role of oxygen intermediates (OIs) in sunburn cell (SC) formation and development of UV-inflammation in vivo, groups of mice were injected intravenously with OI scavengers, including bovine blood superoxide dismutase (SOD), bovine liver catalase, L-histidine, D-mannitol, and
