After ischemic stroke, apoptosis of neurons is a primary factor in determining outcome. Wnt3a naturally occurring protein that has been shown to have protective effects the brain for traumatic injury. Although wnt3a investigated phenomena neurogenesis, anti-apoptosis, and anti-inflammation, it never as therapy stroke. We hypothesized potential neuroprotective agent would reduce infarction improve behavior following stroke by attenuating neuronal promoting cell survival through...
Modern warfare has caused a large number of severe extremity injuries, many which become infected. In more recent conflicts, pattern co-infection with Acinetobacter baumannii and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus emerged. We attempted to recreate this in an animal model evaluate the role vascularity contaminated open fractures. Historically, it been observed that infected bones frequently appear hypovascular, but association bone infection not examined models. Adult rats underwent...
A total of 35 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 300-320 g, 8-10 weeks age) were used in the proposed study.All experiments approved by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee Loma Linda University, USA (Approval No. 8160016) May 2016, complied with
Recent cerebrovascular recanalization therapy clinical trials have validated delayed in patients outside of the conventional window. However, a paucity information on pathophysiology and favorable outcomes remains. Since macrophages are extensively studied tissue repair, we anticipate that they may play critical role after ischemic stroke. In adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, two stroke groups were used: permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) at 3 days following (rMCAO). To...
