Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating and complicated disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have shown that genetic susceptibility may play an important role in the outcome of a given individual with aSAH. This study evaluates the potential association in effects of the APOE allele on the early brain injury (EBI) in light of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion disorders in a consecutive series of non-comatose Chinese patients with aSAH.

Methods: The inflammatory levels of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma were evaluated on the basis of the number of inflammatory cells at the interface of tumor and normal tissues. And the expression of inflammatory cytokines was examined at various inflammatory levels of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma by inflammatory cytokine antibody array and the results were verified by Western blot.
