The neuroprotection of controlled decompression after traumatic epidural intracranial hypertension through suppression of autophagy via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Acute intracranial hypertension (AIH) is a common and tricky symptom that inflicts upon patients after traumatic brain injury (TBI). A variety of clinical options have been applied for the management of AIH, such as physiotherapy, medication, surgery and combination therapy. Specifically, controlled decompression (CDC) alleviates the extent of brain injury and reduces the incidence of a series of post-TBI complications, thereby enhancing the prognosis of patients suffering from acute intracranial hypertension.

Perampanel attenuates oxidative stress and pyroptosis following subarachnoid hemorrhage via the SIRT3/FOXO3α pathway.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) occurs most commonly after rupture of an aneurysm, resulting in high disability and mortality due to the absence of effective therapy. Its subsequent stage, early brain injury (EBI), promotes the sustainable development of injury in the brain and ultimately leads to poor prognosis. As a new antiepileptic drug, the effect of perampanel on EBI after SAH is unknown.
