Objectives: Upper air obstruction leads hypoxia, it is also known that S-100B levels increase by glial activations indicate cerebral hypoxic injury. This study aimed to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative S-100B levels in children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
Patients And Methods: The study comprised 40 patients with indications for tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy following a diagnosis of chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy and 40 age-gender matched control patients. Blood samples were taken from the patients preoperatively and at four weeks postoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative serum S-100B levels were analyzed.
Results: The serum S-100B levels in the preoperative period were found to be significantly higher compared to those of the control group (p < 0.05). The S-100B levels were significantly decreased in the postoperative period (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The development of chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy would play a role in increased S-100B levels. This indicates that neuronal damage would exists in patients with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) represents one of the leading causes of disability and death globally, with a significant impact on public health. We present 12 cases (age 5-80 years old) of death due to TBI with different post-traumatic interval (PTI). The expression of S-100B and RIPK-1 in pericontusional zones of TBI were studied in forensic cases to understand the vitality and timing of injuries.

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.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is considered one of the most effective treatments for psychiatric disorders. ECT has proven effective in the treatment of depression, mania, catatonia and psychosis. It is presumed that seizures induced during ECT administration cause toxicity and potentially neuronal and glial cell death.
