lactic acid/edema

Objective To investigate the effect of focal hypothermia (LH) on traumatic brain edema and the content of lactic acid in rat brain tissue. METHODS One hundred and sixty-eight adult SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: Group A, sham injury group; Group B, traumatic brain injury controlled

The purpose of this research was to investigate the potential of surface modified Poly (l-lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres as a carrier for site-specific delivery of anti-inflammatory drug, ketoprofen, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation method

Macular Edema (ME) is a common complication, leading to severe vision loss in patients with Non-Infectious Uveitis (NIU). The treatment of uveitic ME is still very challenging for many ophthalmologists. Various agents, such as corticosteroids, anti-vascular endothelial growth factors, and

Forsythiae Fructus is an important Chinese medicine which shows a significant effect against inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the preventive anti-inflammation mechanism of Forsythiae Fructus by serum metabolomics strategy and compare the difference of the metabolism pathways between

BACKGROUND Potassium aspartate (PA), as an electrolyte supplement, is widely used in clinical practice. In our previous study, we found PA had neuroprotective effects against apoptosis after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. In this study, we examine whether PA has protective effects on

OBJECTIVE To observe and compare the effects of natural colloid and artificial colloid on pulmonary edema of swine during shock stage of severe burn injury. METHODS Twelve Guangxi Bama miniature swine were inflicted with 40% TBSA full-thickness burn on the back, and then they were divided into

The involvements of arachidonic acid metabolites in the development of ischemic brain edema and cerebral energy metabolism were investigated on the experimental ischemia and reperfusion model. The level of arachidonic acid in brain tissue increases especially on the ischemic insult, which is rapidly

BACKGROUND The prevalence of prostatitis is extremely high, with vast majority belongs to National Institutes of Health Category III: Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes (CPPS). The etiology of CP/CPPS is noninfectious, with no precise mechanisms has been elucidated to

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) were successively recorded in a 3-year-old girl with the acute hemiplegia syndrome. She was admitted to our hospital with complaints of fever, loss of consciousness and

BACKGROUND Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is an effective treatment for panfacial volumization. Typically, patients who are candidates for volume restoration can benefit from lasers and light sources for photorejuvenation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining PLLA with intense

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of ganglioside GM1 on reduction of brain edema and amelioration of cerebral metabolism after traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS An acute experimental closed TBI model in rats was induced by a fluid-percussion brain injury model. At five and sixty minutes after

Although there have been no previous reports on the pH of the human vitreous body, it has been highly theorized that it changes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). In humans, it is necessary to measure the vitreous pH in vitro, which is an important point that presents a major problem, as

The authors present a description of severe accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. They stress the significance of the examination of lactic acid level at this poisoning. In case described the level of carbonyl haemoglobin could not be determined because of device trouble. Patient AA (16-year-old)

Proper injection of poly-l-lactic acid has a role in avoiding development of subcutaneous papules. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of our injection technique ("cross-fanning") and compared it to 4 previous studies. Forty patients were evaluated for adverse events (bruising, edema, erythema,

One of the primary consequences of ischemia is tissue acidification due to anaerobic production of lactic acid. Upon reperfusion and recovery of pH, cytotoxic edema often ensues. Na+/H+ exchange, a mechanism involved in the regulation of intracellular pH (pHi), is activated by low intracellular pH,
