Objective: To observe the pathological impact of seawater on rabbit brain tissue with severe traumatic injury.
Methods: Modified rabbit models of severe brain injury was utilized, in which the damaged brain tissues were subjected to immersion with fresh seawater for 30 min. A control group was set up in which the trauma was induced without subsequent seawater immersion. Tissue sampling was performed at the brain injury sites at 0, 3, 8 h after seawater immersion and the pathological changes in the brain tissues were observed by means of HE staining.
Results: Severe traumatic brain edema occurred in both of the two groups, but the onset time of edema differed. In the control group, brain edema was obvious at 3 h after treatment and hardly aggravated at hour 8; while in seawater treatment group, severe brain edema occurred at 8 h after the treatment and aggravated progressively.
Conclusion: Seawater immersion delays the onset and peak of traumatic brain edema following severe brain injuries, but can eventually aggravate the traumatic edema.

Background: Conventional post-stroke edema management strategies are limitedly successful as in multiple cases of hemorrhagic transformation is being reported. Clinically, acute-ischemic-stroke (AIS) intervention by endovascular mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown benefits by altering various signaling pathways. Our previous studies have reported that intra-arterial administration of 1*10 MSCs (IA-MSCs) were beneficial in alleviating post-stroke edema by modulating PKCδ/MMP9/AQP4 axis and helpful in preserving the integrity of blood-brain-barrier (BBB).

Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a method widely used to assess body composition and parameters related to health and its disorders, which has prognostic value in gastroenterology, endocrinology, nephrology, cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, surgery and critical care. of this study was to analyze bioimpedance measurements in patients with chronic lung diseases [interstitial lung diseases (ILD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)] in relation to clinical and biochemical parameters for assessing respiratory, cardiac and renal failure. .

Objective: The goal of this study was to develop a nomogram that integrates clinical data to predict the likelihood of severe postoperative peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) following the surgical removal of intracranial meningioma.
Method: We included 152 patients diagnosed with meningioma who were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at the Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University between January 2016 and March 2023. Clinical characteristics were collected from the hospital's medical record system.

Objectives: Central nervous system complications of acute pancreatitis (AP) can result in cerebral edema (CE). We assessed the risk of serious outcomes and health care features associated with CE in patients hospitalized with AP.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample database.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidity, mortality and disability, and early brain injury (EBI) after SAH is crucial for prognosis. Recently, stem cell therapy has garnered significant attention in the treatment of neurological diseases. Compared to other stem cells, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) possess several advantages, including abundant sources, absence of ethical concerns, non-invasive procurement, non-tumorigenic history and neuroprotective potential.
