Acute carbon monoxide exposure and cerebral blood flow in rabbits.

Anaesth Intensive Care

Published: August 1991

Carbon monoxide (CO) 1% was administered to anaesthetised rabbits for 15 minutes. Despite a 28% +/- 5.8 (SEM) fall in mean arterial blood pressure during the CO exposure, cerebral blood flow increased by 236% +/- 36.5 in the left and 287% +/- 28.9 in the right cortex. Cerebrovascular resistance was reduced by 70.6% +/- 2.8 in the left and by 76.2% +/- 3 in the right cortex. These changes were accompanied by an increase in intracranial pressure, a drop in body temperature and ventilation requirement, and a metabolic acidosis. When the CO was withdrawn all these parameters returned to normal over three hours. Hence, these vascular effects are reversible and consistent with the natural history of CO intoxication in humans. Carboxyhaemoglobin levels correlated well with hemispheric cerebral blood flow (r = 0.90; r = 0.98) and cerebrovascular resistance (r = 0.87; r = 0.97).

Perihematomal edema (PHE) significantly aggravates secondary brain injury in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), yet its detailed mechanisms remain elusive. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are known to exacerbate neurological deficits and worsen outcomes after stroke. This study explores the potential role of NETs in the pathogenesis of brain edema following ICH.

In previous work we discovered that T lymphocytes play a prominent role in the rise of brain metastases of ER-negative breast cancers. In the present study we explored how T lymphocytes promote breast cancer cell penetration through the blood brain barrier (BBB). An in vitro BBB model was employed to study the effects of T lymphocytes on BBB trespassing capacity of three different breast carcinoma cell lines.

Many lipid biomarkers of stroke have been identified, but the lipid metabolism in elderly patients with leukoaraiosis remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore lipid metabolic processes in stroke among leukoaraiosis patients, which could provide valuable insights for guiding future antithrombotic therapy. In a cohort of 215 individuals undergoing MRI, 13 stroke patients were matched with controls, and 48 stroke patients with leukoaraiosis were matched with 40 leukoaraiosis patients.

Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator that modulates the inflammatory response and promotes inflammation resolution. RvD1 has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various central nervous system contexts; however, its role in the pathophysiological processes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the potential protective mechanisms when combined with exercise rehabilitation remain unclear. A mouse model of ICH was established using collagenase, and treatment with RvD1 combined with three weeks of exercise rehabilitation significantly improved neurological deficits, muscle strength, learning, and memory in ICH mice while reducing anxiety-like behavior.
