Pathophysiological and pathochemical aspects of cerebral edema

Studies on resolution of vasogenic edema provided insight into the problem of how brain tissue manages to regain control over its extracellular environment, and most of the therapeutic methods currently in use have not been shown to interfere with specific aspects of brain edema.

Pathology and new players in the pathogenesis of brain edema

Effective treatment of brain edema cannot be achieved by a single agent but will require the administration of a variety of agents released at different times during the course of edema in order to be successful.

Mechanisms of cerebral edema in traumatic brain injury: therapeutic developments

Attenuating blood–brain barrier permeability has become a promising approach to managing brain edema and associated swelling given that increases in cranial water content can only be derived from the vasculature.

Involvement of bradykinin in brain edema development after ischemic stroke

The aim of this paper is to summarize the recent research in the field of bradykinin function followed by characterization of different types of brain edema development related to ischemic brain injury, together with the involvement of br Bradykinin in edema formation.

EDEMA-SWELLING OF THE BRAIN IN THE CLINIC OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES: PATHOGENESIS, CLINIC, DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT

It is necessary to analyze modern clinical concepts, and diagnostic and treatment strategies, presented in the literature regarding the problems of early diagnosis of cerebral edema, the significance of its clinical definition, and treatment at the pre-hospital and hospital stages.

Aquaporin-4: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Cerebral Edema

The latest findings about the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and microRNA-29b on aquaporin-4 are introduced, which could provide powerful intervention tools targeting aquapor in the brain of different pathological disorders.

Mechanisms of Astrocyte-Mediated Cerebral Edema

AQP4 function and localization in the BBB during health and injury is discussed, and post-injury ionic events that modulate AQP4-dependent edema formation are examined.

Introducing the concept of “CSF‐shift edema” in traumatic brain injury

Based on new understandings of the hydrodynamic aspects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), an additional mechanism of brain swelling can be considered, termed as “CSF‐shift edema.”

Pathophysiologic Aspects of Ischemic Edema

Ischemic brain edema can be regarded as predominantly of the cytotoxic type, starting with an intracellular accumulation of water, and later intensifying markedly due to osmotic movement of water into necrotic areas of the brain parenchyma.

Ultrastructural changes in the edematous central nervous system. II. Cold-induced edema.

A review of the literature shows that, regardless of freezing agents and sites of application, the results obtained from different animal species are essentially the same, namely, a focal hemorrhagic lesion in the cerebral cortex accompanied by wide-spread edema in the white matter of the damaged hemisphere.

ULTRASTRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE EDEMATOUS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. 1. TRIETHYLTIN EDEMA.

In vitro studies show that the toxicity of triethyltin compounds is due to their interference with oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria by inhibiting oxygen consumption, and that the most active forms of alkyl tin are its triethyl derivatives.

Ultrastructural observations on the transvascular route of protein removal in vasogenic brain edema

Observations suggest that a reverse, vesicular transport of HRP across the ECs of some MBVs represents one of several possible mechanisms responsible for the removal of extravasated proteins and of edematous fluid from brain extracellular space.

Role of extracellular proteins in the dynamics of vasogenic brain edema

Quantitative evaluations of125I-BSA and SG in the same tissue samples, supported by statistical analysis, indicated approximately linear relationship between albumin and water, implying a strong correlation between the development of vasogenic edema and extravasation of proteins into extracellular spaces.

THE FINE STRUCTURE OF CEREBRAL FLUID ACCUMULATION. III. EXTRACELLULAR SPREAD OF CRYPTOCOCCAL POLYSACCHARIDES IN THE ACUTE STAGE.

The white matter of the rat brain is studied with the electron microscope under various experimental conditions in order to locate the accumulated fluid in the brain more precisely and to achieve consistently satisfactory preservation of the brain tissue.

Therapeutic considerations suggest that reserpine may be specifically indicated in prophylactic treatment of apoplexy, because of its ability to inhibit the neurotropic effect of serotonin.
