Stroke is a life-threatening disease with major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The neuronal damage following cerebral ischemia is a serious risk to stroke patients. Oxidative stress and apoptotic damage play an important role in cerebral ischemic pathogenesis and

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 efficacy of edaravone, a novel free radical scavenger, on preventing steroid-induced osteonecrosis (ON) in a rabbit model. Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were divided into control (C; n = 6), steroid-administered (S; n = 15) and edaravone-administered
White matter injury caused by cerebral hypoperfusion may contribute to the pathophysiology of vascular dementia and stroke, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully defined. Here, we test the hypothesis that oxidative stress interferes with endogenous white matter repair
