Clostridium perfringens, the most broadly distributed pathogen in nature, produces a prototype phospholipase C, also called α-toxin, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of gas gangrene. α-Toxin causes plasma membrane disruption at high concentrations, but the role of
Traumatic axonal injury (TAI), a feature of traumatic brain injury (TBI), progressively evolves over hours through impaired axonal transport and is thought to be a major contributor to cognitive dysfunction. In spite of various studies suggesting that pharmacologic or physiologic

To investigate the effect of E3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (Edr) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and liver regeneration in a porcine hepatectomy model. One hour ischemia was induced by occluding the vessels and the bile duct of the right and median lobes. A
Edaravone, a free radical scavenger, is the first clinical drug of neuroprotection for ischemic stroke patients in the world, and has been shown to be an effective agent to alleviate cerebral ischemic injury. It has been established that acidosis is
