Background: In this study, we aimed to set levels of blood S100B and lactate and to determine any correlation with brain computerized tomography in minor head traumas in children and adults.
Methods: This clinical trial is a prospective study including 100 head trauma patients who applied to Ankara Training and Research Hospital emergency service.
Results: In this study, cut-off ranges of 0.0-0.15 ug/ml and 0.9-1.7 mmol/L for blood S100B and lactate levels, respectively, were used. S100B level was higher than the cut-off range in 42% of patients and lactate level was higher in 56% of patients. No significant differences were determined between age groups. When the relation between S100B and lactate levels with brain CT was evaluated, no statistically significant relation was determined.
Conclusion: According to our results, in minor head traumas, the determination of elevated serum S100B and lactate levels cannot take the place of clinical examination and the use of cranial CT. Although the patients in our study group had minor head trauma, we do not consider S100B and lactate to be reliable markers for estimating progression.

Background: Ischemic stroke belongs to "apoplexy" and its pathogenesis is characterized by qi deficiency and blood stasis combining with phlegm-damp clouding orifices. Buqi-Huoxue-Tongnao decoction (BHTD) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula for qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome. However, its efficacy and potential mechanism on ischemic stroke are still unclear.

This is an interim analysis of the Beta-blocker (Propranolol) use in traumatic brain injury (TBI) based on the high-sensitive troponin status (BBTBBT) study. The BBTBBT is an ongoing double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial with a target sample size of 771 patients with TBI. We sought, after attaining 50% of the sample size, to explore the impact of early administration of beta-blockers (BBs) on the adrenergic surge, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the TBI biomarkers linked to the status of high-sensitivity troponin T (HsTnT).

Methylglyoxal (MG) is considered a classical biomarker of diabetes mellitus and its comorbidities. However, a role for this compound in exacerbated immune responses, such as septicemia, is being increasingly observed and requires clarification, particularly in the context of neuroinflammatory responses. Herein, we used two different approaches (in vivo and acute hippocampal slice models) to investigate MG as a biomarker of neuroinflammation and the neuroimmunometabolic shift to glycolysis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inflammation models.

Objective: To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block (SGB) on cerebral oxygen metabolism and serum S100B during carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
Methods: Patients who were prospectively enrolled to receive CEA under elective general anesthesia were randomized into an SGB group and a control group (ChiCTR2000033385). Before anesthesia, the SGB group underwent ipsilateral SGB under ultrasound guidance, while the control group did not.
S100B Secretion in Astrocytes, Unlike C6 Glioma Cells, Is Downregulated by Lactate.

S100B is a calcium-binding protein produced and secreted by astrocytes in response to various extracellular stimuli. C6 glioma cells are a lineage commonly employed for astroglial studies due to the expression of astrocyte specific markers and behavior. However, in high-glucose medium, C6 S100B secretion increases, in contrast to the trend in primary astrocyte cultures.
