dimethyl sulfoxide/hemorrhage

BACKGROUND Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor involved in the inflammatory response. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is involved in the cell protection from various stresses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), pyrrolidine

Inflammation following hemorrhagic shock/resuscitation (HS/RES) induces acute lung injury (ALI). Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidative capacities. We sought to clarify whether DMSO could attenuate ALI induced by HS/RES. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated to

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been widely used in the treatment of arthritis and certain inflammatory diseases, and is also considered an alternative remedy for cancer even if not supported by concrete evidence. This report illustrates the first case of a fatal complication following the illicit use

Intraperitoneal injection of DMSO (0.7 g/kg) in rats 1h after intracerebral hemorrhage prevented brain conjugated diens and fluorosciene products increase and limited cerebral ++anti-radical activity. In experiments on cats 1h after intracerebral hemorrhage intravenous infusion of DMSO (0.3 g/kg)

OBJECTIVE Melatonin has been demonstrated to reduce liver damage in different models of stress. However, there is only limited information on the impact of this hormone on hepatic gene expression. The aim of this study was, to investigate the influence of melatonin or the melatonergic agonist

d-β-hydroxybutyrate and melatonin (BHB/MLT) infusion improves survival in hemorrhagic shock models. The original BHB/MLT formulation contains dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to increase melatonin solubility. We formulated BHB/MLT solutions wherein DMSO was replaced either with 10% polyvinylpyrrolidone

OBJECTIVE Inflammation in the subarachnoid space and apoptosis of arterial endothelial cells have been implicated in the development of delayed cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The authors investigated mechanisms of possible antivasospastic effects of

OBJECTIVE Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) has been implicated in cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study was conducted to investigate whether Src tyrosine kinase, an upstream regulator of MAPK, is involved in cerebral vasospasm. METHODS An established canine

Arteriovenous shunting associated with angiomyolipoma is an unusual entity, which carries important implications to embolization approach. We present a distinctive case involving a 41-year-old woman who presented with retroperitoneal hemorrhage relating to renal angiomyolipoma. During angiography

OBJECTIVE This study describes use of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) dissolved in anhydrous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and mixed with tantalum powder to achieve radiopacity as an effective, safe, and manageable embolic agent in endovascular treatment of artery haemorrhages. METHODS Twenty

After a 30 minute period of superior mesenteric artery occlusion in adult rats, there was a significant decrease in peritoneal inflammatory reaction, ileus, peritoneal adhesion formation, and histologically proved bowel wall necrosis in animals given intravenous dimethyl sulfoxide at the end of the

BACKGROUND The shelf life of liquid-stored platelet concentrates is limited to 5 days. Therefore, much work has been carried out in an attempt to establish the optimum method for cryopreservation. Among the various cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been shown to be the most effective.

OBJECTIVE This study investigates a potential novel application of a selective cathepsin B and L inhibitor in experimental intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. METHODS Forty adult male Wistar rats received an ICH by stereotactic injection of 100 μl of autologous blood or sham via needle insertion

OBJECTIVE Inflammation could play a role in cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SP600125 a c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor reduces inflammation. The present study examined if SP600125 could reduce cerebral vasospasm. METHODS Twenty-seven dogs were assigned to 5 groups:

BACKGROUND Glutamate and oxidative stress play important roles after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The ability to modulate glutamate transporter 1 (GLT-1) and the antioxidative effect of rosiglitazone have been demonstrated. We investigated the neuroprotective effect of rosiglitazone after
