Abstract
Human papillomavirus 33, a high-risk HPV strain, is mainly responsible for HPV infection and cervical cancer in Asian countries. The E2 protein of HPV 33 is a DNA-binding protein that plays a crucial role in viral replication and transcription. We have cloned, overexpressed, and purified the DNA binding domain of the E2 protein. Size exclusion chromatography results suggested that the protein exists in a homodimeric state in the native form. Circular dichroism data showed that the protein has a higher content of β-sheet. The melting temperature obtained from differential scanning calorimetry is 52.59 °C, and the protein is stable at pH 8 and is in a dimeric form at basic pH. The protein is monomeric or unfolded at a very low pH. Chemical denaturation studies suggested that the protein denatured and dissociated simultaneously. The DNA binding activity of the protein was also confirmed and it showed binding affinity in the order of 106 M-1. The protein structure was modeled using homology modeling and other bioinformatic tools. The virtual screening and molecular dynamic simulation studies were performed to find compounds that can act as potent inhibitors against E2 DBD. This study expands the understanding of the conserved structural and binding properties of HPV33 E2 DBD and provides the first report on the characterization of the viral protein.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiological entity characterized by nonspecific symptomatology (eg, headache, visual disturbances, encephalopathy, and seizures) and classically cortical and subcortical vasogenic edema predominantly affecting the parietooccipital region. PRES etiologies are usually dichotomized into toxic PRES (eg, antineoplastic drugs, illicit drugs) and clinical condition-associated PRES (eg, acute hypertension, dysimmune disorders). Although the pathophysiology of PRES remains elusive, 2 main pathogenic hypotheses have been suggested: cerebral hyperperfusion due to acute hypertension and cerebral hypoperfusion related to endothelial dysfunction. Research into the pathogenesis of PRES has emerged through the development of animal models in the last decade. The motivation for developing a suitable PRES model is 2-fold: to fill in knowledge gaps of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, and to open new perspectives for clinical assessment of pharmacological targets to improve therapeutic management of PRES. All current models of PRES have a hypertensive background, on which other triggers (acute hypertension, inflammatory, drug toxicity) have been added to address specific facets of PRES (eg, seizures). The initial model consisted in inducing a reduced uterine perfusion pressure that mimics preeclampsia, a leading cause of PRES. More recently, a model of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats on high-salt diet, originally developed for hypertensive small vessel disease and vascular cognitive impairment, has been studied in PRES. This review aims to discuss, depending on the research objective, the benefits and limitations of current experimental approaches and thus to define the desirable characteristics for studying the pathophysiology of PRES and developing new therapies.

Abstract
The cerebral oxygen cascade includes three key stages: (a) convective oxygen delivery representing the bulk flow of oxygen to the cerebral vascular bed; (b) diffusion of oxygen from the blood into brain tissue; and (c) cellular utilisation of oxygen for aerobic metabolism. All three stages may become dysfunctional after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and contribute to hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI). Improving convective cerebral oxygen delivery by optimising cerebral blood flow has been widely investigated as a strategy to mitigate HIBI. However, clinical trials aimed at optimising convective oxygen delivery have yielded neutral results. Advances in the understanding of HIBI pathophysiology suggest that impairments in the stages of the oxygen cascade pertaining to oxygen diffusion and cellular utilisation of oxygen should also be considered in identifying therapeutic strategies for the clinical management of HIBI patients. Culprit mechanisms for these impairments may include a widening of the diffusion barrier due to peri-vascular oedema and mitochondrial dysfunction. An integrated approach encompassing both intra-parenchymal and non-invasive neuromonitoring techniques may aid in detecting pathophysiologic changes in the oxygen cascade and enable patient-specific management aimed at reducing the severity of HIBI.

Abstract
Stroke is a life-threatening condition in which accurate diagnoses and timely treatment are critical for successful neurological recovery. The current acute treatment strategies, particularly non-invasive interventions, are limited, thus urging the need for novel therapeutical targets. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptor antagonists are emerging as potential targets to treat edema formation and subsequent elevation in intracranial pressure, both significant causes of mortality in acute stroke. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the mechanisms leading to AVP hyperexcretion in acute stroke and the subsequent secondary neuropathological responses. Furthermore, we discuss the work supporting the predictive value of measuring copeptin, a surrogate marker of AVP in stroke patients, followed by a review of the experimental evidence suggesting AVP receptor antagonists in stroke therapy. As we highlight throughout the narrative, critical gaps in the literature exist and indicate the need for further research to understand better AVP mechanisms in stroke. Likewise, there are advantages and limitations in using copeptin as a prognostic tool, and the translation of findings from experimental animal models to clinical settings has its challenges. Still, monitoring AVP levels and using AVP receptor antagonists as an add-on therapeutic intervention are potential promises in clinical applications to alleviate stroke neurological consequences.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for about 10% of all strokes in the United States of America causing a high degree of disability and mortality. There is initial (primary) brain injury due to the mechanical disruption caused by the hematoma. There is then secondary injury, triggered by the initial injury but also the release of various clot-derived factors (e.g., thrombin and hemoglobin). ICH alters brain fluid homeostasis. Apart from the initial hematoma mass, ICH causes blood-brain barrier disruption and parenchymal cell swelling, which result in brain edema and intracranial hypertension affecting patient prognosis. Reducing brain edema is a critical part of post-ICH care. However, there are limited effective treatment methods for reducing perihematomal cerebral edema and intracranial pressure in ICH. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying perihematomal brain edema formation, the effects of sex and age, as well as how edema is resolved. It examines progress in pharmacotherapy, particularly focusing on drugs which have been or are currently being investigated in clinical trials.

Abstract
In the past, water homeostasis of the brain was understood as a certain quantitative equilibrium of water content between intravascular, interstitial, and intracellular spaces governed mostly by hydrostatic effects i.e., strictly by physical laws. The recent achievements in molecular bioscience have led to substantial changes in this regard. Some new concepts elaborate the idea that all compartments involved in cerebral fluid homeostasis create a functional continuum with an active and precise regulation of fluid exchange between them rather than only serving as separate fluid receptacles with mere passive diffusion mechanisms, based on hydrostatic pressure. According to these concepts, aquaporin-4 (AQP4) plays the central role in cerebral fluid homeostasis, acting as a water channel protein. The AQP4 not only enables water permeability through the blood-brain barrier but also regulates water exchange between perivascular spaces and the rest of the glymphatic system, described as pan-cerebral fluid pathway interlacing macroscopic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces with the interstitial fluid of brain tissue. With regards to this, AQP4 makes water shift strongly dependent on active processes including changes in cerebral microcirculation and autoregulation of brain vessels capacity. In this paper, the role of the AQP4 as the gatekeeper, regulating the water exchange between intracellular space, glymphatic system (including the so-called neurovascular units), and intravascular compartment is reviewed. In addition, the new concepts of brain edema as a misbalance in water homeostasis are critically appraised based on the newly described role of AQP4 for fluid permeation. Finally, the relevance of these hypotheses for clinical conditions (including brain trauma and stroke) and for both new and old therapy concepts are analyzed.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment has been reported in patients with myocardial infarction despite a successful reperfusion therapy. Several modes of cell death are involved in brain damage during cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis inhibitors provided neuroprotection against cerebral I/R injury, the effects of these cell death inhibitors on the brain following cardiac I/R injury have never been investigated. We hypothesized that apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis inhibitors attenuate brain damage following cardiac I/R injury. One-hundred and twenty-six male rats were used: 6 rats were assigned to sham operation and 120 rats were subjected to 30-min regional cardiac ischemia and 120-min reperfusion. Rats in cardiac I/R group were pretreated with either vehicle (n = 12) or one of cell death inhibitors. Rats treated with apoptosis, necroptosis, or ferroptosis inhibitor were subdivided into three different doses including low (L), medium (M), and high (H) doses (n = 12/group). Z-VAD, necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), and ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) were used as apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis inhibitor, respectively. Rats were sacrificed at the end of reperfusion, and the brain was used to analyze dendritic spine density, Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related proteins, blood-brain barrier (BBB) tight junction proteins, mitochondrial function, inflammation, and cell death. Our data showed that cardiac I/R led to brain damage and only apoptosis occurred in the hippocampus after cardiac I/R injury. In the cardiac I/R group, treatment with M-Z-VAD and all doses of Nec-1 decreased hippocampal apoptosis and amyloid beta aggregation, thereby reducing dendritic spine loss. M- and H-Fer-1 also reduced dendritic spine loss by suppressing ACSL4, TNF-α, amyloid beta, and tau hyperphosphorylation. Moreover, Bax/Bcl-2 was decreased in all treatment regimen except L-Z-VAD. Additionally, M-Z-VAD and M-Fer-1 partially attenuated mitochondrial dysfunction. Only L-Nec-1 preserved BBB proteins. In conclusion, cell death inhibitors prevented hippocampal dendritic spine loss caused by cardiac I/R injury through different mechanisms.

Abstract
Approximately 15% of deaths in developed nations are due to sudden cardiac arrest, making it the most common cause of death worldwide. Though high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation has improved overall survival rates, the majority of survivors remain comatose after return of spontaneous circulation secondary to hypoxic ischemic injury. Since the advent of targeted temperature management, neurologic recovery has improved substantially, but the majority of patients are left with neurologic deficits ranging from minor cognitive impairment to persistent coma. Of those who survive cardiac arrest, but die during their hospitalization, some progress to brain death and others die after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment due to anticipated poor neurologic prognosis. Here, we discuss considerations neurologists must make when asked, "Given their recent cardiac arrest, how much neurologic improvement do we expect for this patient?"

Abstract
High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) and acute mountain sickness (AMS) are neuropathologies associated with rapid exposure to hypoxia. However, speculation remains regarding the exact etiology of both HACE and AMS and whether they share a common mechanistic pathology. This review outlines the basic principles of HACE development, highlighting how edema could develop from 1) a progression from cytotoxic swelling to ionic edema or 2) permeation of the blood brain barrier (BBB) with or without ionic edema. Thereafter, discussion turns to the available neuroimaging literature in the context of cytotoxic, ionic, or vasogenic edema in both HACE and AMS. Although HACE is clearly caused by an increase in brain water of ionic and/or vasogenic origin, there is very little evidence that this type of edema is present when AMS develops. However, cerebral vasodilation, increased intracranial blood volume, and concomitant intracranial fluid shifts from the extracellular to the intracellular space, as interpreted from changes in diffusion indices within white matter, are observed consistently in persons acutely exposed to hypoxia and with AMS. Therefore, herein we explore the idea that intracellular swelling occurs alongside AMS, and is a critical precursor to extracellular ionic edema formation. We propose that this process produces a subtle modulation of the BBB, which either together with or independent of vasogenic edema provides a transvascular segue from the end-stage of AMS to HACE. Ultimately, this review seeks to shed light on the possible processes underlying HACE pathophysiology, and thus highlights potential avenues for future prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Cerebral edema is a common complication of multiple neurological diseases and is a strong predictor of outcome, especially in traumatic brain injury and large hemispheric infarction.Areas Covered: Traditional and current treatments of cerebral edema include treatment with osmotherapy or decompressive craniectomy at the time of clinical deterioration. The authors discuss preclinical and clinical models of a variety of neurological disease states that have identified receptors, ion transporters, and channels involved in the development of cerebral edema as well as modulation of these receptors with promising agents.Expert opinion: Further study is needed on the safety and efficacy of the agents discussed. IV glibenclamide has shown promise in preclinical and clinical trials of cerebral edema in large hemispheric infarct and traumatic brain injury. Consideration of underlying pathophysiology and pharmacodynamics is vital, as the synergistic use of agents has the potential to drastically mitigate cerebral edema and secondary brain injury thusly transforming our treatment paradigms.

Abstract
Cerebral edema, a common and often fatal companion to most forms of acute central nervous system disease, has been recognized since the time of ancient Egypt. Unfortunately, our therapeutic armamentarium remains limited, in part due to historic limitations in our understanding of cerebral edema pathophysiology. Recent advancements have led to a number of clinical trials for novel therapeutics that could fundamentally alter the treatment of cerebral edema. In this review, we discuss these agents, their targets, and the data supporting their use, with a focus on agents that have progressed to clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Women with a history of preeclampsia exhibit increased salt sensitivity of blood pressure at postpartum, which might be responsible for their increased risk of future cardiovascular diseases. However, it is unclear whether preeclampsia can cause increased salt sensitivity at postpartum. Vasopressin may play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and salt-sensitive hypertension. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether the exposure to preeclampsia, as elicited by placental ischemia, causes increased salt sensitivity at postpartum, and if so, whether vasopressin is involved in its process. METHODS AND RESULTS We used a reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) rat model of preeclampsia. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were categorized into the following two groups: RUPP-operated and sham-operated (SHAM) control groups. A 1-week-long high-salt diet was initiated at 3 weeks postpartum. The high-salt diet-induced increase in mean arterial pressure was significantly greater in the RUPP group than in the SHAM group. In addition, the plasma levels of copeptin, a substitute for plasma vasopressin, increased and serum osmolality decreased in the RUPP group. Double immunostaining revealed that the expression of c-Fos, a marker of neural activity, in vasopressin-producing neurons and presympathetic neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus was significantly elevated in the RUPP group. The oral administration of conivaptan, the dual V1a/V2 vasopressin receptor antagonist, during high-salt diet abolished the enhanced increase in mean arterial pressure in RUPP rats. CONCLUSION Prior exposure to placental ischemia causes increased salt sensitivity of blood pressure at postpartum probably due to enhanced vasopressin production and secretion.

Abstract
We sought to review the role that cerebral edema plays in neurologic outcome following cardiac arrest, to understand whether cerebral edema might be an appropriate therapeutic target for neuroprotection in patients who survive cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Articles indexed in PubMed and written in English. Following cardiac arrest, cerebral edema is a cardinal feature of brain injury and is a powerful prognosticator of neurologic outcome. Like other conditions characterized by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, neuroprotection after cardiac arrest has proven to be difficult to achieve. Neuroprotection after cardiac arrest generally has focused on protecting neurons, not the microvascular endothelium or blood-brain barrier. Limited preclinical data suggest that strategies to reduce cerebral edema may improve neurologic outcome. Ongoing research will be necessary to determine whether targeting cerebral edema will improve patient outcomes after cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral edema is one of the major causes of mortality following cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A subunit of the sulfonylurea receptor 1-transient receptor potential M4 (Sur1-TRPM4) channel has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemia-evoked cerebral edema. In this study, we examined whether glibenclamide (GBC), a Sur1-TRPM4 channel inhibitor, attenuates cerebral edema following CA/CPR and further examined the efficacy of GBC combined with therapeutic hypothermia. METHODS Isoflurane-anesthetized adult male wild-type C57Bl/6 mice subjected to 7-min CA/CPR were randomized into five groups: sham operation, control with normothermia, GBC with normothermia, control with hypothermia, and GBC with hypothermia. The primary outcome was to evaluate regional brain water content; the secondary outcome was to measure blood glucose level, Sur1-TRPM4 expression, and pro-inflammatory factor expression. RESULTS Compared with normothermia, GBC treatment or hypothermia significantly attenuated brain water content in mice subjected to CA/CPR. GBC combined with hypothermia had no additional effects on attenuating cerebral edema. Pro-inflammatory factor messenger RNA expression (TNF-α and IL-6), NFκβ activation, and SUR1-TRPM4 levels were upregulated after CA/CPR. Compared with normothermia, hypothermia, but not GBC, partly suppressed these factors' expression. CONCLUSIONS GBC attenuated cerebral edema following CA/CPR by blocking Sur1-TRPM4 channels upregulated by CA insult. The effect of GBC was comparable with that of therapeutic hypothermia alone. These results suggest that GBC is an alternative approach for treating CA-evoked cerebral edema.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Polyethylene glycol-20k is a hybrid cell impermeant that reduces ischemia injury and improves microcirculatory flow during and following low flow states through nonenergy-dependent water transfer in the microcirculation. We investigated the effects of polyethylene glycol-20k on postresuscitation microcirculation, myocardial and cerebral function, and duration of survival in a rat model of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. DESIGN Ventricular fibrillation was induced in 20 male Sprague Dawley rats and untreated for 6 minutes. Animals were randomized into two groups (n = 10 for each group): polyethylene glycol-20k and control. Polyethylene glycol-20k (10% solution in saline, 10% estimated blood volume) and vehicle (saline) were administered at the beginning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by continuous IV infusion. Resuscitation was attempted after 8 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. SETTING University-Affiliated Research Laboratory. SUBJECTS Sprague Dawley Rats. INTERVENTIONS Polyethylene glycol-20k. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Buccal microcirculation was measured at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 hours after return of spontaneous circulation using a side-stream dark-field imaging device. Myocardial function was measured by echocardiography at baseline and every hour postresuscitation for 6 hours. The animals were then returned to their cage and observed for an additional 72 hours. Neurologic Deficit Scores were recorded at 24, 48, and 72 hours after resuscitation. Postresuscitation ejection fraction, cardiac output, and myocardial performance index were significantly improved in animals treated with polyethylene glycol-20k (p < 0.05). Perfused buccal vessel density and microcirculatory flow index values were significantly higher at all time points in the polyethylene glycol-20k group compared with the control group. Postresuscitation cerebral function and survival rate were also significantly improved in animals that received polyethylene glycol-20k. CONCLUSIONS Administration of polyethylene glycol-20k following cardiopulmonary resuscitation improves postresuscitation myocardial and cerebral function, buccal microcirculation, and survival in a rat model of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral edema after cardiac arrest (CA) is associated with increased mortality and unfavorable outcome in children and adults. Aquaporin-4 mediates cerebral water movement and its absence in models of ischemia improves outcome. We investigated early and selective pharmacologic inhibition of aquaporin-4 in a clinically relevant asphyxial CA model in immature rats in a threshold CA insult that produces primarily cytotoxic edema in the absence of blood-brain barrier permeability. METHODS Postnatal day 16-18 Sprague-Dawley rats were studied in our established 9-min asphyxial CA model. Rats were randomized to aquaporin-4 inhibitor (AER-271) vs vehicle treatment, initiated at return of spontaneous circulation. Cerebral edema (% brain water) was the primary outcome with secondary assessments of the Neurologic Deficit Score (NDS), hippocampal neuronal death, and neuroinflammation. RESULTS Treatment with AER-271 ameliorated early cerebral edema measured at 3 h after CA vs vehicle treated rats. This treatment also attenuated early NDS. In contrast to rats treated with vehicle after CA, rats treated with AER-271 did not develop significant neuronal death or neuroinflammation as compared to sham. CONCLUSION Early post-resuscitation aquaporin-4 inhibition blocks the development of early cerebral edema, reduces early neurologic deficit, and blunts neuronal death and neuroinflammation post-CA.

Abstract
A growing body of clinical literature emphasizes the impact of cerebral edema in early brain injury following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Aneurysm rupture itself initiates global cerebral edema in up to two thirds of cases. Although cerebral edema is not a universal feature of aSAH, it portends a poor clinical course, with quantitative analysis revealing a direct correlation between cerebral edema and poor outcome, including mortality and cognitive deficits. Mechanistically, global cerebral edema has been linked to global ischemia at the time of aneurysm rupture, dysfunction of autoregulation, blood breakdown products, neuroinflammation, and hyponatremia/endocrine abnormalities. At a molecular level, several culprits have been identified, including aquaporin-4, matrix metalloproteinase-9, SUR1-TRPM4 cation channels, vascular endothelial growth factor, bradykinin, and others. Here, we review these cellular and molecular mechanisms of global cerebral edema formation in aSAH. Given the importance of edema to the outcome of patients with aSAH and its status as a highly modifiable pathological process, a better understanding of cerebral edema in aSAH promises to hasten the development of medical therapies to improve outcomes in this frequently devastating disease.

Neurologic Recovery After Cardiac Arrest: a Multifaceted Puzzle Requiring Comprehensive Coordinated Care. CURRENT TREATMENT OPTIONS IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE 2017; 19:52.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Surviving cardiac arrest (CA) requires a longitudinal approach with multiple levels of responsibility, including fostering a culture of action by increasing public awareness and training, optimization of resuscitation measures including frequent updates of guidelines and their timely implementation into practice, and optimization of post-CA care. This clearly goes beyond resuscitation and targeted temperature management. Brain-directed physiologic goals should dictate the post-CA management, as accumulating evidence suggests that the degree of hypoxic brain injury is the main determinant of survival, regardless of the etiology of arrest. Early assessment of the need for further hemodynamic and electrophysiologic cardiac interventions, adjusting ventilator settings to avoid hyperoxia/hypoxia while targeting high-normal to mildly elevated PaCO2, maintaining mean arterial blood pressures >65 mmHg, evaluating for and treating seizures, maintaining euglycemia, and aggressively pursuing normothermia are key steps in reducing the bioenergetic failure that underlies secondary brain injury. Accurate neuroprognostication requires a multimodal approach with standardized assessments accounting for confounders while recognizing the importance of a delayed prognostication when there is any uncertainty regarding outcome. The concept of a highly specialized post-CA team with expertise in the management of post-CA syndrome (mindful of the brain-directed physiologic goals during the early post-resuscitation phase), TTM, and neuroprognostication, guiding the comprehensive care to the CA survivor, is likely cost-effective and should be explored by institutions that frequently care for these patients. Finally, providing tailored rehabilitation care with systematic reassessment of the needs and overall goals is key for increasing independence and improving quality-of-life in survivors, thereby also alleviating the burden on families. Emerging evidence from multicenter collaborations advances the field of resuscitation at an incredible pace, challenging previously well-established paradigms. There is no more room for "conventional wisdom" in saving the survivors of cardiac arrest.

Abstract
Hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI) after cardiac arrest (CA) is a leading cause of mortality and long-term neurologic disability in survivors. The pathophysiology of HIBI encompasses a heterogeneous cascade that culminates in secondary brain injury and neuronal cell death. This begins with primary injury to the brain caused by the immediate cessation of cerebral blood flow following CA. Thereafter, the secondary injury of HIBI takes place in the hours and days following the initial CA and reperfusion. Among factors that may be implicated in this secondary injury include reperfusion injury, microcirculatory dysfunction, impaired cerebral autoregulation, hypoxemia, hyperoxia, hyperthermia, fluctuations in arterial carbon dioxide, and concomitant anemia.Clarifying the underlying pathophysiology of HIBI is imperative and has been the focus of considerable research to identify therapeutic targets. Most notably, targeted temperature management has been studied rigorously in preventing secondary injury after HIBI and is associated with improved outcome compared with hyperthermia. Recent advances point to important roles of anemia, carbon dioxide perturbations, hypoxemia, hyperoxia, and cerebral edema as contributing to secondary injury after HIBI and adverse outcomes. Furthermore, breakthroughs in the individualization of perfusion targets for patients with HIBI using cerebral autoregulation monitoring represent an attractive area of future work with therapeutic implications.We provide an in-depth review of the pathophysiology of HIBI to critically evaluate current approaches for the early treatment of HIBI secondary to CA. Potential therapeutic targets and future research directions are summarized.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) is a well-known cause of global brain ischemia. After CA and subsequent loss of consciousness, oxygen tension starts to decline and leads to a series of cellular changes that will lead to cellular death, if not reversed immediately, with brain edema as a result. The electroencephalographic activity starts to change as well. Although increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is not a direct result of cardiac arrest, it can still occur due to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy induced changes in brain tissue, and is a measure of brain edema after CA and ischemic brain injury. In this review, we will discuss the pathophysiology of brain edema after CA, some available techniques, and methods to monitor brain oxygen, electroencephalography (EEG), ICP (intracranial pressure), and microdialysis on its measurement of cerebral metabolism and its usefulness both in clinical practice and possible basic science research in development. With this review, we hope to gain knowledge of the more personalized information about patient status and specifics of their brain injury, and thus facilitating the physicians’ decision making in terms of which treatments to pursue.

Abstract
A promising strategy for the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the identification of age-related changes that place the brain at risk for the disease. Additionally, AD is associated with chronic dehydration, and one of the significant changes that are known to result in metabolic dysfunction is an increase in the endogenous formaldehyde (FA) level. Here, we demonstrate that the levels of uric formaldehyde in AD patients were markedly increased compared with normal controls. The brain formaldehyde levels of wild-type C57 BL/6 mice increased with age, and these increases were followed by decreases in their drinking frequency and water intake. The serum arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentrations were also maintained at a high level in the 10-month-old mice. An intravenous injection of AVP into the tail induced decreases in the drinking frequency and water intake in the mice, and these decreases were associated with increases in brain formaldehyde levels. An ELISA assay revealed that the AVP injection increased both the protein level and the enzymatic activity of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), which is an enzyme that produces formaldehyde. In contrast, the intraperitoneal injection of formaldehyde increased the serum AVP level by increasing the angiotensin II (ANG II) level, and this change was associated with a marked decrease in water intake behavior. These data suggest that the interaction between formaldehyde and AVP affects the water intake behaviors of mice. Furthermore, the highest concentration of formaldehyde in vivo was observed in the morning. Regular water intake is conducive to eliminating endogenous formaldehyde from the human body, particularly when water is consumed in the morning. Establishing good water intake habits not only effectively eliminates excess formaldehyde and other metabolic products but is also expected to yield valuable approaches to reducing the risk of AD prior to the onset of the disease.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a major role in the homeostasis of fluid balance, vascular tonus, and the regulation of the endocrine stress response. The measurement of AVP levels is difficult due to its short half-life and laborious method of detection. Copeptin is a more stable peptide derived from the same precursor molecule, is released in an equimolar ratio to AVP, and has a very similar response to osmotic, hemodynamic, and stress-related stimuli. In fact, copeptin has been propagated as surrogate marker to indirectly determine circulating AVP concentrations in various conditions. Here, we present an overview of the current knowledge on AVP and copeptin in perinatology with a particular focus on the baby's transition from placenta to lung breathing. We performed a systematic review of the literature on fetal stress hormone levels, including norepinephrine, cortisol, AVP, and copeptin, in regard to birth stress. Finally, diagnostic and therapeutic options for copeptin measurement and AVP functions are discussed.
