Abstract
Albumin, the most abundant plasma protein, is known to exhibit a neuroprotective effect in animal models of focal and global cerebral ischemia. In the present study, the expression and immunoreactivity of albumin was examined in the hippocampus following 5 min of transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils. Albumin immunoreactivity was observed in microglia of the CA1 hippocampal region 2 days post-ischemic insult, and it was significantly increased at 4 days following ischemia-reperfusion. In addition, at 4 days post-ischemic insult, albumin-immunoreactive microglia were abundant in the stratum pyramidale of the CA1 region. The present results demonstrated that albumin was newly expressed post-injury in microglia in the CA1 region, suggesting ischemia-induced neuronal loss. Albumin expression may therefore be associated with ischemia-induced delayed neuronal death in the CA1 region following transient cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
Exogenous microglia pass through the blood-brain barrier and migrate to ischemic hippocampal lesions when injected into the circulation. We investigated the effect of exogenous microglia on ischemic CA1 pyramidal neurons. Microglia were isolated from neonatal mixed brain cultures, labeled with the fluorescent dye PKH26, and injected into the subclavian artery of Mongolian gerbils subjected to ischemia reperfusion neuronal injury. PKH26-labeled microglia migrated to the ischemic hippocampal lesion, resulting in increased numbers of surviving neurons compared with control animals, even when injected 24 h after ischemia. Interferon-gamma stimulation of isolated microglia enhanced the neuroprotective effect. Administration of exogenous microglia resulted in normal performance in a passive avoidance-learning task. Additionally, administration of exogenous microglia increased the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in the ischemic hippocampus, and thus might have induced neurotrophin-dependent protective activity in damaged neurons. Peripherally injected microglia exhibited a specific affinity for ischemic brain lesions, and protected against ischemic neuronal injury in vivo. It is possible that administration of exogenous microglia can be developed as a potential candidate therapy for central nervous system repair after transitory global ischemia.

Abstract
Human studies of unexplained cerebral palsy (CP) suggest an association with maternal infection. We used an established model of maternal infection, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, to investigate the molecular changes in the fetal brain that may link maternal infection and CP. We compared gene expression in brains from mouse pups exposed to LPS in utero to those from saline-treated controls. Dams were injected with 50 microg LPS or saline on E18 with surgical delivery from 0.5 to 6h later. Differential gene expression was analyzed in the whole mouse brain using RT-PCR. When compared to control mice, pups exposed to LPS showed increased expression of pro-inflammatory genes monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), as well as VEGF, a regulator of vascular development and permeability, the anti-apoptotic protein Y-box-binding protein-1 (YB-1), and the neuronal differentiation factor necdin. LPS-exposed mice also showed downregulation of semaphorin 5b and groucho, involved in axon guidance and neurogenesis, respectively, providing evidence that LPS may disrupt normal developmental pathways. These data suggest possible mechanisms for adverse neurological outcomes following maternal infection involving elevated cytokine levels and altered expression of developmental genes in the fetal brain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electroconvulsive seizures, an animal model for electroconvulsive treatment, induce a strong increase in neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of adult rats. Hippocampal neurogenesis has previously been described as occurring in an angiogenic niche. This study examines the effect of electroconvulsive seizures on proliferation of vascular cells in rat hippocampus. METHODS Rats were injected with bromodeoxyuridine to label proliferating cells in the dentate gyrus after single/multiple electroconvulsive seizures in a dose-response study and at various time points after single electroconvulsive seizures in a time-course study. RESULTS A dose-response effect on the number of bromodeoxyuridine-labeled endothelial cells located in the granule cell layer, hilus, and molecular layer was noted, as was the case with the number of neural precursors in the subgranular zone. The time-course study revealed that endothelial cell and neural precursor proliferation occurred in concert in response to a single electroconvulsive seizure. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that in response to electroconvulsive seizures, endothelial cell and neural proliferation is coregulated. The increase in endothelial cell proliferation may act to support the increased neural proliferation and neuronal activity or vice versa, possibly leading to structural changes within the hippocampus of importance for the antidepressant effect of electroconvulsive seizures.

Abstract
Brain oedema following blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, or vasogenic oedema, is present in most cases of brain oedema. According to the Starling's law, water, ions and plasma proteins cross the BBB toward the interstitium if the driving forces for transmural bulk flow are excessive (mechanical origin) and/or if the BBB permeability is enhanced (chemical origin). Both mechanisms coexist in most cases. Excessive elevation of the gradient of hydrostatic pressure with lost of cerebral autoregulation has been proved in ischaemia/reperfusion and trauma, and suggested in acute mountain sickness and eclampsia. The BBB permeability can be enhanced by immediate (chemical mediators) or delayed (cellular infiltration) inflammatory response, or by alteration of the membrane integrity. This later can be transient (hyperosmolar BBB disruption), or permanent by activation of matrix metalloproteinase or by neovascularization with BBB breakdown. The reference method for the diagnosis of vasogenic oedema is the MRI diffusion-weighted imaging.

Abstract
1. The aim of the present study was to reveal the effect of transient forebrain ischemia on the regional and temporal changes in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability for sodium fluorescein (MW: 376 Da) and Evan's blue-labeled albumin (MW: 67 kDa) in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). 2. BBB permeability was significantly higher in the brain regions of 16-week-old control SHRSP than those in age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats. 3. Transient forebrain ischemia evoked by 10-min bilateral carotid occlusion increased the permeability of the BBB for albumin, but not for sodium fluorescein, after 6 and 24 h of reperfusion in brain regions of SHRSP. 4. Extravasation of serum macromolecules may contribute to neuronal loss and development of hypertensive encephalopathy in SHRSP.

Abstract
Ischaemic brain oedema appears to involve two distinct processes, the relative contribution and time course of which depend on the duration and severity of ischaemia, and the presence of reperfusion. The first process involves an increase in tissue Na+ and water content accompanying increased pinocytosis and Na+, K+ ATPase activity across the endothelium. This is apparent during the early phase of infarction and before any structural damage is evident. This phenomenon is augmented by reperfusion. A second process results from a more indiscriminate and delayed BBB breakdown that is associated with infarction of both the parenchyma and the vasculature itself. Although, tissue Na+ level still seems to be the major osmotic force for oedema formation at this second stage, the extravasation of serum proteases is an additional potentially deleterious factor. The relative importance of protease action is not yet clear, however, degradation of the extracellular matrix conceivably leads to further BBB disruption and softening of the tissue, setting the stage for the most pronounced forms of brain swelling. A number of factors mediate or modulate ischaemic oedema formation, however, most current information comes from experimental models, and clinical data on this microcosmic level is lacking. Clinically significant brain oedema develops in a delayed fashion after large hemispheric strokes and is a cause of substantial mortality. Neurological signs appear to be at least as good as direct ICP measurement and neuroimaging in detecting and gauging the secondary damage produced by stroke oedema. The neuroimaging characteristics of the stroke, specifically the early involvement of greater than half of the MCA territory, are, however, highly predictive of the development of severe oedema over the subsequent hours and days. None of the available medical therapies provide substantial relief from the oedema and raised ICP, or at best, they are temporizing in most cases. Hemicraniectomy appears most promising as a method of avoiding death from brain compression, but the optimum timing and manner of patient selection are currently being investigated. All approaches to massive ischaemic brain swelling are clouded by the potential for survival with poor functional outcome. It is possible to manage blood pressure, serum osmolarity by way of selective fluid administration, and a number of other systemic factors that exaggerate brain oedema. Broad guidelines for treatment of stroke oedema can therefore be given at this time.
