Continuous measurement of CBV and CBF by means of laser-Doppler flowmetry was performed to analyse the cerebrovascular response to water accumulation during brain infusion oedema in cats. The presence of an oedema generator elicits a continuous reduction of CBV and a transient reduction of CBF. With cessation of this mechanical force of oedema production, CBV and CBF returned to control levels. These results indicate that excess accumulation of water in brain tissue by itself does not decrease CBF even when the driving pressure of oedema fluid is present, but that brain oedema attenuates CBV only when a pressure gradient exists. These results suggest that there are microcirculatory changes in brain oedema before and after removal of the oedema generating focus. The laser-Doppler flow method is a useful technique for the continuous assessment of tissue perfusion.

Nitrous oxide (NO) abuse is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Moreover, the use of NO combined with other substances, such as alcohol, is also common. Accidental deaths associated with NO abuse are rare in forensic practice, with most fatal cases involving continuous inhalation equipment or exposure in a confined space.

Background: The hypobaric hypoxic atmosphere can cause adverse reactions or sickness. The purpose of this study was to explore the preventive effect and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on acute pathological injury in mice exposed to high-altitude.
Methods: We pretreated C57BL/6 mice with hUC-MSCs via the tail vein injection, and then the mice were subjected to hypobaric hypoxic conditions for five days.

Postseizure brain changes on imaging are well-known facts. Many times, oedematous brain changes can mimic ischaemic stroke. Crossed cerebellar diaschisis refers to a depression in metabolism, affecting the cerebellar hemisphere due to contralateral supratentorial abnormalities.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cepharanthine (CEP) is an alkaloid extracted from Stephania cephalantha Hayata, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) renowned for its heatclearing and dehumidifying properties. For centuries, Stephania cephalantha Hayata has been employed in the treatment of a wide range of diseases, including pain, edema, inflammation, and fever.
Aim Of The Study: Our research aims to investigate the role and mechanism of Cepharanthine in ameliorating uric acid (UA) induced neuroinflammatory responses.
