Abstract: Oxygen is vital to maintain the normal functions of almost all the organs, especially for brain which is one of the heaviest oxygen consumers in the body. The important roles of oxygen on the brain are not only reflected in the development, but also showed...
Abstract: To evaluate the effects of administration of hyperbaric oxygenation(HBO) when initiated at different time after acute transient ischemia. Apoptosis in the ischemic penumbra was further investigated to search for the possible mechanism. The male SD rats were...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning (PC) allows brain protection against transient global ischemia. In the present study, we hypothesize that the mechanism of HBO-PC involves the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in cerebral tissues before ischemia,...

Abstract: Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody, which neutralizes the effect of vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) allowing regression of tumour vessels and a decrease in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Already used in oncology as adjuvant...
Abstract: Iatrogenic gas embolism is a rare but serious problem that has been documented in almost all medical specialties including gynecology. We present a 49-year-old woman undergoing operative hysteroscopy and myomectomy, who sustained sudden hypotension and...
Abstract: High socioeconomic burden is attributed to acute ischemic stroke, but treatment strategies are still limited. Normobaric (NBO) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) were frequently investigated in preclinical studies following acute focal cerebral ischemia...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) protect the brain parenchyma and the cerebral microcirculation against ischemia. We studied their effect on secondary hemorrhage after thrombolysis in two thromboembolic middle cerebral artery occlusion...
Abstract: A 64-year-old woman (151 cm, 43 kg) with well controlled hypertension was diagnosed as having right lung cancer at S8 segment. She underwent right S8 segmentectomy by video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) under general anesthesia combined with epidural...
