Molecules 2023; 28:7829. [PMID: 38067558 PMCID: PMC10707860 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28237829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) is derived from Carthamus tinctorius L. (Honghua in Chinese) and is used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. However, the mechanism by which HSYA treats ischemic stroke following atherosclerosis (ISFA) remains unclear. The targets and pathways of HSYA against ISFA were obtained using network analysis. A total of 3335 potential IFSA-related targets were predicted using the GenCards and Drugbank databases, and a total of 88 potential HSYA-related targets were predicted using the Swiss Target Prediction database. A total of 62 HSYA-related targets against IFSA were obtained. The network was composed of HSYA, 62 targets, and 20 pathways. The top 20 targets were constructed via the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that the targets were involved in signal transduction, protein phosphorylation, the cytoplasm, the plasma membrane, the cytosol, zinc ion binding, ATP binding, protein kinase binding/activity, and enzyme binding. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the pathways were associated with cancer, inflammatory mediator regulation of the transient receptor potential channels, and microRNA in cancer. Additionally, molecular docking indicated that HSYA mainly interacts with five targets, namely interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), E1A-binding protein p300 (EP300), protein kinase C alpha (PRKCA), and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase subunit beta (IKBKB). In animal experiments, HSYA administration ameliorated the infarct size, neurological deficit score, histopathological changes, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and blood lipid level (total cholesterol and triglycerides). Immunochemistry and quantitative PCR showed that HSYA intervention downregulated the expression of STAT3, EP300, PRKCA, and IKBKB, and the enzyme-linked immunoassay showed reduced IL-1β levels. The findings of this study provide a reference for the development of anti-ISFA drugs.

Danhong injection enhances the therapeutic effect of mannitol on hemispheric ischemic stroke by ameliorating blood-brain barrier disruption. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 142:112048. [PMID: 34435588 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Mannitol, a representative of hyperosmolar therapy, is indispensable for the treatment of malignant cerebral infarction, but its therapeutic effect is limited by its exacerbation of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. This study was to explore whether Danhong injection (DHI), a standardized product extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge and Carthamus tinctorius L., inhibits the destructive effect of mannitol on BBB and thus enhancing the treatment of hemispheric ischemic stroke. SD rats were subjected to pMCAO followed by intravenous bolus injections of mannitol with/without DHI intervention. Neurological deficit score, brain edema, infarct volume at 24 h after MCAO and histopathology, microvascular ultrastructure, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining of endothelial cell junctions, energy metabolism in the ischemic penumbra were assessed. Intravenous mannitol after MCAO resulted in a decrease in 24 h mortality and cerebral edema, whereas no significant benefit on neurological deficits, infarct volume and microvascular ultrastructure. Moreover, mannitol led to the loss of endothelial integrity, manifested by the decreased expression of occludin, junctional adhesion molecule-1 (JAM-1) and zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1) and the discontinuity of occludin staining around the periphery of endothelial cells. Meanwhile, after mannitol treatment, energy-dependent vimentin and F-actin, ATP content, and ATP5D expression were down-regulated, while MMP2 and MMP9 expression increased in the ischemic penumbra. All the insults after mannitol treatment were attenuated by addition of intravenous DHI. The results suggest DHI as a potential remedy to attenuate mannitol-related BBB disruption, and the potential of DHI to upregulate energy metabolism and inhibit the activity of MMPs is likely attributable to its effects observed.

World Neurosurg 2021; 155:e503-e509. [PMID: 34461281 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.08.086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of continuous hypertonic saline (HS) infusion in the management of malignant cerebral edema is controversial. We evaluated patients presenting with large anterior circulation territory infarcts and compared radiographic and clinical outcomes to evaluate the effects of continuous HS. METHODS This was a retrospective review of patients with malignant ischemic strokes who were initially managed with continuous HS versus routine medical management. Radiographic parameters of cerebral edema and clinical parameters were collected at different time intervals after admission. Rates and timing of surgery, mortality, and complications were also collected. RESULTS The study included 43 patients: 26 in group 1 (HS) and 17 in group 2 (no HS). Both cohorts had comparable baseline clinical and radiographic parameters. There was no difference between rates and timing of surgery, complications, and mortality. Mean midline shift was significantly greater in the HS group at interval 1 (12-36 hours, P = 0.003) and interval 2 (36-60 hours, P = 0.030), and mean change in midline shift from initial interval to interval 1 was significantly greater in the HS group (P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS Despite the widespread use of continuous HS in acute ischemic infarcts, only a limited number of studies have evaluated its efficacy, and virtually no studies have studied its effect on radiographic progression and rates of decompressive surgery. Results of this study indicate that there is no benefit of continuous HS. In fact, there may be worsening of cerebral edema with administration of continuous HS. In addition, there are no differences in prevention or delay of decompressive surgery or in overall mortality.

Abstract
Danhong injection (DHI) is a compound Chinese medicine widely used in China for treatment of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, limited data are available regarding the protective effect of DHI on the ischemic penumbra in ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intravenous DHI on neuronal injure in the ischemic penumbra after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R), focusing especially on the involvement of intracellular energy metabolism coupling. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to right middle cerebral artery occlusion for 60 min followed by reperfusion with or without intravenous DHI (0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mL/kg) once daily for 7 days. Post-treatment with DHI ameliorated neurological defects, diminished cerebral infarction, alleviated cerebral edema, improved microcirculatory perfusion after 7days of reperfusion, and inhibited apoptosis and enhanced neuronal survival in the ischemic penumbra. In addition, DHI significantly ameliorated oxidative stress, reduced DNA damage, and inhibited the activation of PARP1/AIF pathway, thereby restoring cytoplasmic glycolytic activity. Furthermore, this drug increased PDH activity by inhibiting the HIF1α/PDK1 signaling pathway, thus eliminating the inhibitory effect of CI/R on mitochondrial metabolism. The results of this study suggest that DHI can alleviate cerebral edema after CI/R and rescue the ischemic penumbra, and these protective effects are due to the regulation of intracellular energy metabolic coupling.

Abstract
Cerebral edema after brain injury can lead to brain damage and death if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. This study investigates the feasibility of employing electrical impedance tomography (EIT) as a non-invasive imaging tool for monitoring the development of cerebral edema, in which impedance imaging of the brain related to brain water content is compared with intracranial pressure (ICP). We enrolled forty patients with cerebral hemorrhage who underwent lateral external ventricular drain with intraventricular ICP and EIT monitoring for 3 h after initiation of dehydration treatment. The average reconstructed impedance value (ARV) calculated from EIT images was compared with ICP. Dehydration effects induced changes in ARV and ICP showed a close negative correlation in all patients, and the mean correlation reached R2 = 0.78 ± 0.16 (p < .001). A regression equation (R2 = 0.62, p < .001) was formulated from the total of measurement data. The 95% limits of agreement were − 6.13 to 6.13 mmHg. Adaptive clustering and variance analysis of normalized changes in ARV and ICP showed 92.5% similarity and no statistically significant differences (p > .05). Moreover, the sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve of changes in ICP >10 mmHg were 0.65, 0.73 and 0.70 respectively. The findings show that EIT can monitor changes in brain water content associated with cerebral edema, which could provide a real-time and non-invasive imaging tool for early identification of cerebral edema and the evaluation of mannitol dehydration. Changes in brain water content due to cerebral edema alter EIT and ICP simultaneously. EIT has a close negative correlation with ICP during changes in brain water content. Cerebral edema can be early identified by EIT for initiating timely therapy. The efficacy of dehydration can be evaluation by EIT for guiding personalized therapy. The results suggest EIT can monitor cerebral edema real-timely and non-invasively.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to explore the possible mechanisms by which hypertonic saline (HS) effectively ameliorates cerebral oedema via the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2)-mediated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) pathway of endothelial cells in rats. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in Sprague-Dawley rats and an oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model in cells were used in the present study. Evans blue (EB) staining and a horseradish peroxidase flux assay were performed to evaluate the protective effect of 10% HS on the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGFR2, zonula occludens 1 (ZO1) and occludin were quantified. The results demonstrated that 10% HS effectively reduced EB extravasation in the peri-ischaemic brain tissue. At 24 h after MCAO, the protein expression levels of VEGF and VEGFR2 in the peri-ischaemic brain tissue were downregulated following treatment with 10% HS. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the permeability of a monolayer endothelial cell barrier was decreased significantly following HS treatment. In addition, VEGF and VEGFR2 protein expression levels were increased in endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions, but that effect was suppressed by HS treatment. Furthermore, HS inhibited the downregulation of ZO1 and occludin effectively, possibly through the VEGFR2/phospholipase C γ1 (PLCγ1)/eNOS signalling pathway. In conclusion, 10% HS may alleviate cerebral oedema through reducing ischaemia-induced BBB permeability, as a consequence of inhibiting VEGFR2/PLCγ1/eNOS-mediated downregulation of ZO1 and occludin.

Abstract
Background Hypertonic saline (HS) has been successfully used for treatment of various forms of brain edema. Decreased expression of aquaporin (AQP)4 and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β have been linked to edema pathogenesis. This study examined the effect of 3% HS on brain edema in a rat model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Material/Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to TBI induced by a controlled cortical impactor. The HS group was injected with 3% NaCl until the end of the study period. AQP4, TNF-α, IL-1β, and caspase-3 levels were measured by Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and quantitative real-time PCR. Brain water content was also measured. Apoptotic cells in brain tissue were detected with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling. Brain water content decreased following treatment with 3% HS relative to the TBI group. Results This was accompanied by decreases in AQP4, TNF-α, and IL-1β mRNA and protein levels. TBI resulted in increases in caspase-3 mRNA expression and the number of apoptotic cells; treatment with 3% HS suppressed apoptosis as compared to the TBI group. Conclusions Treatment with 3% HS ameliorated TBI-induced brain edema, possibly by suppressing brain edema, pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertonic saline (HS) has been used clinically for treatment of cerebral edema for decades. Previously we have demonstrated that HS alleviates cerebral edema via regulating water/ion channel protein and attenuating neuroinflammation. However, whether HS treatment triggers microglia polarization and its regulatory mechanism during this process is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats that underwent right-sided middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were used for assessment of neuroinflammation and microglia functions. Treatment of 10% HS not only significantly reduced infarct size and ipsilateral ischemic hemispheric brain water content (BWC) via attenuating ischemia-induction of TNF-α, IL-1β, microglia M1 markers (iNOS, CD86) and miR-200b, but also increased neurotrophic factors such as IL-10 and IL-4, microglia M2 markers (Arg1, CD206) and Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4). Similar changes were confirmed in primary microglial cells subjected to hypoxia with/without HS in vitro. Importantly, overexpression of miR-200b was able to induce microglia M1 polarization via directly targeting KLF4. Restoring KLF4 expression abolished this effect. On the contrary, miR-200b inhibitor or KLF4 overexpression led to microglia M2 polarization. Mechanistically, KLF4 directly binds to promoter region of Agr1, thus inducing its transcription. Similar to treatment of HS, experimental overexpression of KLF4 in vivo exerted significant beneficial effects on ischemia-induced cerebral edema. However, knockdown of KLF4 abrogated the benefits of HS. CONCLUSIONS Hypertonic saline regulates microglial M2 polarization via miR-200b/KLF4 during its treatment of cerebral edema. This study may provide new insights of HS-related therapy for cerebral edema.

Abstract
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of amyloid plaques is a powerful non-invasive approach for the early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) along with clinical observations of behavioral changes and cognitive impairment. The present article aims at giving a critical and comprehensive review of recent advances in the development of nanoparticle-based contrast agents for brain MRI. Nanoparticles considered for the MRI of AD must comply with a highly stringent set of requirements including low toxicity and the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier. In addition, to reach an optimal signal-to-noise ratio, they must exhibit a specific ability to target amyloid plaques, which can be achieved by grafting antibodies, peptides or small molecules. Finally, we propose to consider new directions for the future of MRI in the context of Alzheimer's disease, in particular by enhancing the performances of contrast agents and by including therapeutic functionalities following a theranostic strategy.

Abstract
Background Ischemic stroke is a major disease that threatens human health in ageing population. Increasing evidence has shown that neuroinflammatory mediators play crucial roles in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia injury. Notch signaling is recognized as the cell fate signaling but recent evidence indicates that it may be involved in the inflammatory response in activated microglia in cerebral ischemia. Previous report in our group demonstrated hypertonic saline (HS) could reduce the release of interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in activated microglia, but the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms have remained uncertain. This study was aimed to explore whether HS would partake in regulating production of proinflammatory mediators through Notch signaling. Results HS markedly attenuated the expression of Notch-1, NICD, RBP-JK and Hes-1 in activated microglia both in vivo and in vitro. Remarkably, HS also reduced the expression of iNOS in vivo, while the in vitro levels of inflammatory mediators Phos-NF-κB, iNOS and ROS were reduced by HS as well. Conclusion Our results suggest that HS may suppress of inflammatory mediators following ischemia/hypoxic through the Notch signaling which operates synergistically with NF-κB pathway in activated microglia. Our study has provided the morphological and biochemical evidence that HS can attenuate inflammation reaction and can be neuroprotective in cerebral ischemia, thus supporting the use of hypertonic saline by clinicians in patients with an ischemia stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to verify the protective effect of hypertonic saline (HS) on brain endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions and the relevant underlying mechanism. METHODS bEnd.3 cells were treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced injury. To measure HS performance, cell viability was determined using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium salt assay, and cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase UTP nick-end labeling staining. RNA-seq was performed to assess the expression profiles and screen the candidate genes that participated in OGD-induced injury and the HS protective effect. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot analysis were used to confirm the expression of candidate genes, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the level of interleukin (IL)-1β. Overexpression analyses were performed to confirm the functions of the differentially expressed genes. RESULTS HS with a concentration of 40 mmol/L NaCl had an obvious protective effect on bEnd.3 cells after OGD-induced injury, resulting in increased cell viability and a smaller percentage of apoptotic cells. According to the RNA-seq results, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was chosen as the differentially expressed gene target in this study. The qPCR and western blot analyses further confirmed that the levels of EGFR/phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor and IL-1β were enhanced after OGD-induced injury, but attenuated after treatment with 40 mmol/L of NaCl HS. Overexpressed EGFR reversed the protective effect of HS that caused low viability and high rates of apoptosis in cells. CONCLUSION HS can protect endothelial cells against OGD-induced injury, but is affected by the expression of EGFR/p-EGFR and IL-1β.

Hypertonic saline alleviates experimentally induced cerebral oedema through suppression of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor VEGFR2 expression in astrocytes. BMC Neurosci 2016; 17:64. [PMID: 27733124 PMCID: PMC5062881 DOI: 10.1186/s12868-016-0299-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2015] [Accepted: 05/17/2016] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral oedema is closely related to the permeability of blood-brain barrier, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) all of which are important blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability regulatory factors. Zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1) and claudin-5 are also the key components of BBB. Hypertonic saline is widely used to alleviate cerebral oedema. This study aimed to explore the possible mechanisms underlying hypertonic saline that ameliorates cerebral oedema effectively. METHODS Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and of oxygen-glucose deprivation model in primary astrocytes were used in this study. The brain water content (BWC) was used to assess the effect of 10 % HS on cerebral oedema. The assessment of Evans blue (EB) extravasation was performed to evaluate the protective effect of 10 % HS on blood-brain barrier. The quantification of VEGF, VEGFR2, ZO-1 and claudin-5 was used to illustrate the mechanism of 10 % HS ameliorating cerebral oedema. RESULTS BWC was analysed by wet-to-dry ratios in the ischemic hemisphere of SD rats; it was significantly decreased after 10 % HS treatment (P < 0.05). We also investigated the blood-brain barrier protective effect by 10 % HS which reduced EB extravasation effectively in the peri-ischemic brain tissue. In parallel to the above notably at 24 h following MCAO, mRNA and protein expression of VEGF and VEGFR2 in the peri-ischemic brain tissue was down-regulated after 10 % HS treatment (P < 0.05). Along with this, in vitro studies showed increased VEGF and VEGFR2 mRNA and protein expression in primary astrocytes under hypoxic condition (P < 0.05), but it was suppressed after HS treatment (P < 0.05). In addition, HS inhibited the down-regulation of ZO-1, claudin-5 effectively. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that 10 % HS could alleviate cerebral oedema possibly through reducing the ischemia induced BBB permeability as a consequence of inhibiting VEGF-VEGFR2-mediated down-regulation of ZO-1, claudin-5.

Abstract
Background: Osmotherapy is the frequently used for the treatment of intracranial pressure. The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of equiosmolar solution of 3% hypertonic saline and 20% mannitol on brain relaxation in supratentorial tumor surgery. Methods: After institutional review board approval and written informed consent, 50 patients aged >18, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) >13 with ASA physical status 1, 2, and 3 scheduled to undergo craniotomy for supratentorial tumors were enrolled in this prospective, randomized study. Patients received 5 ml/kg of either 3% hypertonic saline (n = 25) or 20% mannitol (n = 25). Hemodynamic variables (heart rate [HR], SBP, DBP, MBP, and central venous pressure [CVP]), serum electrolytes, serum osmolality, urine output, and fluid balance were measured. The surgeon assessed the brain condition on four point scale (1 = perfectly relaxed, 2 = satisfactorily relaxed, 3 = firm brain, and 4 = bulging brain), who was blinded to study drug. Results: Brain relaxation was comparable in two groups and there was no significant difference (P = 0.633). The number of brain conditions classified as perfectly relaxed, satisfactorily relaxed, firm brain, and bulging brain in the HS group was 8, 13, 3, and 1, respectively, whereas it was 5, 17, 3, and 0, respectively, in the M group. There was no significant difference in hemodynamic variables between the two groups except CVP at 30 min (P = 048). Compared with mannitol, hypertonic saline caused increase in the serum osmolality at 120 min (P = 0.008) and in serum sodium at 120 min (P = 0.001). Urine output was higher with mannitol than hypertonic saline (P = 0.001). Conclusion: 3% hypertonic saline and 20% mannitol are equally effective for brain relaxation in elective supratentorial tumor surgery and compared with mannitol, hypertonic saline was associated with less diuretic effect.

Salvianolic acids attenuate rat hippocampal injury after acute CO poisoning by improving blood flow properties. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:526483.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning causes the major injury and death due to poisoning worldwide. The most severe damage via CO poisoning is brain injury and mortality. Delayed encephalopathy after acute CO poisoning (DEACMP) occurs in forty percent of the survivors of acute CO exposure. But the pathological cause for DEACMP is not well understood. And the corresponding therapy is not well developed. In order to investigate the effects of salvianolic acid (SA) on brain injury caused by CO exposure from the view point of hemorheology, we employed a rat model and studied the dynamic of blood changes in the hemorheological and coagulative properties over acute CO exposure. Compared with the groups of CO and 20% mannitol + CO treatments, the severe hippocampal injury caused by acute CO exposure was prevented by SA treatment. These protective effects were associated with the retaining level of hematocrit (Hct), plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, whole blood viscosities and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in red blood cells (RBCs). These results indicated that SA treatment could significantly improve the deformation of erythrocytes and prevent the damage caused by CO poisoning. Meanwhile, hemorheological indexes are good indicators for monitoring the pathological dynamic after acute CO poisoning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress processes play an important role in the pathogenesis of secondary brain injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Hypertonic saline (HTS) has advantages as being preferred osmotic agent, but few studies investigated oxidant and antioxidant effects of HTS in TBI. This study was designed to compare two different regimens of HTS 5% with mannitol on TBI-induced oxidative stress. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three adult patients with TBI were recruited and have randomly received one of the three protocols: 125 cc of HTS 5% every 6 h as bolus, 500 cc of HTS 5%as infusion for 24 h or 1 g/kg mannitol of 20% as a bolus, repeated with a dose of 0.25-0.5 g/kg every 6 h based on patient's response for 3 days. Serum total antioxidant power (TAP), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured at baseline and daily for 3 days. RESULTS Initial serum ROS and NO levels in patients were higher than control(6.86± [3.2] vs. 1.57± [0.5] picoM, P = 0.001, 14.6± [1.6] vs. 7.8± [3.9] mM, P = 0.001, respectively). Levels of ROS have decreased for all patients, but reduction was significantly after HTS infusion and mannitol (3. 08 [±3.1] to 1.07 [±1.6], P = 0.001, 5.6 [±3.4] to 2.5 [±1.8], P = 0.003 respectively). During study, NO levels significantly decreased in HTS infusion but significantly increased in mannitol. TAP Levels had decreased in all patients during study especially in mannitol (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Hypertonic saline 5% has significant effects on the oxidant responses compared to mannitol following TBI that makes HTS as a perfect therapeutic intervention for reducing unfavorable outcomes in TBI patients.

Abstract
Background Hypertonic saline (HS) has been successfully used clinically for treatment of various forms of cerebral edema. Up-regulated expression of Na-K-Cl Cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) and inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) has been demonstrated to be closely associated with the pathogenesis of cerebral edema resulting from a variety of brain injuries. This study aimed to explore if alleviation of cerebral edema by 10% HS might be effected through down-regulation of inflammatory mediator expression in the microglia, and thus result in decreased NKCC1 expression in astrocytes in the cerebral cortex bordering the ischemic core. Methods The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats that underwent right-sided middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were used for assessment of NKCC1, TNF-α and IL-1β expression using Western blotting, double immunofluorescence and real time RT-PCR, and the model also was used for evaluation of brain water content (BWC) and infarct size. SB203580 and SP600125, specific inhibitors of the p38 and JNK signaling pathways, were used to treat primary microglia cultures to determine whether the two signaling pathways were required for the inhibition of HS on microglia expressing and secreting TNF-α and IL-1β using Western blotting, double immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effect of TNF-α and IL-1β on NKCC1 expression in primary astrocyte cultures was determined. In addition, the direct inhibitory effect of HS on NKCC1 expression in primary astrocytes was also investigated by Western blotting, double immunofluorescence and real time RT-PCR. Results BWC and infarct size decreased significantly after 10% HS treatment. TNF-α and IL-1β immunoexpression in microglia was noticeably decreased. Concomitantly, NKCC1 expression in astrocytes was down-regulated. TNF-α and IL-1β released from the primary microglia subjected to hypoxic exposure and treatment with 100 mM HS were decreased. NKCC1 expression in primary astrocytes was concurrently and progressively down-regulated with decreasing concentration of exogenous TNF-α and IL-1β. Additionally, 100 mM HS directly inhibited NKCC1 up-regulation in astrocytes under hypoxic condition. Conclusions The results suggest that 10% HS alleviates cerebral edema through inhibition of the NKCC1 Cotransporter, which is mediated by attenuation of TNF-α and IL-1β stimulation on NKCC1.

Abstract
Neurologic trauma, encompassing traumatic brain injury (TBI) and acute spinal cord injury (SCI), is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in veterinary patients. Acute SCIs occurring secondary to trauma are also common. Essential to the management of TBI and SCI is a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of the primary and secondary injury that occurs following trauma. This article reviews the pathophysiology of this primary and secondary injury, as well as recommendations regarding clinical assessment, diagnostics, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapy, and prognosis.

Abstract
The use of hyperosmolar agents for intracranial hypertension was introduced in the early 20th century and remains a mainstay of therapy for patients with cerebral edema. Both animal and human studies have demonstrated the efficacy of two hyperosmolar agents, mannitol and hypertonic saline, in reducing intracranial pressure via volume redistribution, plasma expansion, rheologic modifications, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, because of physician and institutional variation in therapeutic practices, lack of standardized protocols for initiation and administration of therapy, patient heterogeneity, and a paucity of randomized controlled trials have yielded little class I evidence on which clinical decisions can be based, most current evidence regarding the use of hyperosmolar therapy is derived from retrospective analyses (class III) and case series (class IV). In this review, we summarize the available evidence regarding the use of hyperosmolar therapy with mannitol or hypertonic saline for the medical management of intracranial hypertension and present a comprehensive discussion of the evidence associated with various theoretical and practical concerns related to initiation, dosage, and monitoring of therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Three percent sodium chloride (NaCl) treatment has been shown to reduce brain edema and inhibited brain aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expression in bacterial meningitis induced by Escherichia coli. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the main pathogenic component of E. coli. We aimed to explore the effect of 3% NaCl in mouse brain edema induced by LPS, as well as to elucidate the potential mechanisms of action. METHODS Three percent NaCl was used to treat cerebral edema induced by LPS in mice in vivo. Brain water content, IL-1β, TNFα, immunoglobulin G (IgG), AQP4 mRNA and protein were measured in brain tissues. IL-1β, 3% NaCl and calphostin C (a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C) were used to treat the primary astrocytes in vitro. AQP4 mRNA and protein were measured in astrocytes. Differences in various groups were determined by one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS Three percent NaCl attenuated the increase of brain water content, IL-1β, TNFα, IgG, AQP4 mRNA and protein in brain tissues induced by LPS. Three percent NaCl inhibited the increase of AQP4 mRNA and protein in astrocytes induced by IL-1β in vitro. Calphostin C blocked the decrease of AQP4 mRNA and protein in astrocytes induced by 3% NaCl in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Osmotherapy with 3% NaCl ameliorated LPS-induced cerebral edema in vivo. In addition to its osmotic force, 3% NaCl exerted anti-edema effects possibly through down-regulating the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNFα) and inhibiting the expression of AQP4 induced by proinflammatory cytokines. Three percent NaCl attenuated the expression of AQP4 through activation of protein kinase C in astrocytes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hyperosmolar therapy is one of the core medical treatments for brain edema and intracranial hypertension, but controversy exists regarding the use of the most common agents, mannitol, and hypertonic saline. This article describes the relative merits and adverse effects of these agents using the best available clinical evidence. RECENT FINDINGS Mannitol is effective and has been used for decades in the treatment of traumatic brain injury, but it may precipitate acute renal failure if serum osmolarity exceeds 320 mOsm/L. Hypertonic saline appears to be safe, and serum sodium has been elevated to as high as 180 mEq/L in clinical settings without significant neurologic, cardiac, or renal injury. In small comparative trials both agents are effective and no clinically significant difference has been noted, but a properly powered trial has not yet been performed. SUMMARY Both mannitol and hypertonic saline are effective and have an acceptable risk profile for use in the treatment of elevated intracranial pressure secondary to brain edema.

Abstract
Horses compete routinely in endurance-type activities. Many of the various pathophysiological mechanisms which arise during endurance exercise have implications for the health and function of the neurological system. The development of centrally-mediated fatigue is a normal homeostatic physiological event with several possible mechanisms. Development of pathophysiological phenomena such as cerebral oedema may be near-terminal events during or after endurance exhaustion. Cellular damage resulting in cytotoxic cerebral oedema may result from decreases in circulating blood volume (dehydration), blood pressure, oxygen, and glucose, or increases in brain temperature. Vasogenic cerebral oedema arises from changes in cerebral vascular perfusion, tone, and permeability. Increased vascular permeability results from increased brain temperature, poor vascular integrity due to severe dehydration, disseminated intravascular coagulation due to hemoconcentration or endotoxemia, and iatrogenic overhydration during therapy. Clinical signs of intracranial disease after endurance exercise include staggering, shaking, ataxia, paresis, poor tongue tone, facial twitching, collapse, recumbency, seizures, and death. Treatment should include active and aggressive cooling, intravenous polyionic fluids, acid-base imbalance correction, intravenous glucose and calcium supplementation, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents once the patient is better hydrated, intra-nasal oxygen therapy if practicable, and achievement of a non-dependent head posture to prevent jugular venous hypertension and further increases in intracranial pressure. The prognosis for central fatigue is good with appropriate supportive care, but the prognosis for successful treatment of cerebral oedema must be considered guarded at best. Prevention is critical and must be through incorporation of mandatory rest stops with sufficient length and veterinary monitoring to allow prevention and detection of exhaustion, excessive dehydration, and neurological signs. Management flexibility in shortening or postponing rides in hot and humid conditions, mandated use of aggressive cooling techniques, and more restrictive entry criteria for upper level Fédération Equestre Internationale races should all be considered as viable options for optimising the safety of endurance horses.

Recombinant human MFG-E8 attenuates cerebral ischemic injury: its role in anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis. Neuropharmacology 2011; 62:890-900. [PMID: 21964436 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2011.09.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2011] [Revised: 08/23/2011] [Accepted: 09/14/2011] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Excessive inflammation and apoptosis contribute to the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. MFG-E8 is a 66-kDa glycoprotein that has shown tissue protection in various models of organ injury. However, the potential role of MFG-E8 in cerebral ischemia has not been investigated. We found that levels of MFG-E8 protein in the brain were reduced at 24 h after cerebral ischemia. To assess the potential role of MFG-E8 in cerebral ischemia, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). At 1 h post-stroke onset, an intravenous administration of 1 ml saline as vehicle or 160 μg/kg BW recombinant human MFG-E8 (rhMFG-E8) as treatment was given. The optimal dose of rhMFG-E8 was obtained from previous dose-response organ protection in rat sepsis studies. Neurological scores were determined at 24 h and 48 h post-MCAO. Rats were sacrificed thereafter and brains rapidly removed and analyzed for infarct size, histopathology, and markers of inflammation and apoptosis. Compared with saline vehicle, rhMFG-E8 treatment led to significant decreases in sensorimotor and vestibulomotor deficits, and infarct size at 24 h and 48 h post-MCAO. Measures associated with improved outcome included reduced microglial inflammatory cytokine secretion, adhesion molecules and neutrophil influx, cleaved caspase-3, and upregulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ), and Bcl-2/Bax ratio leading to decreased apoptosis. Thus, rhMFG-E8 treatment is neuroprotective against cerebral ischemia through suppression of inflammation and apoptosis.
