Abstract

Objectives: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating type of strokes that carries high mortality rates, but effective therapeutic options are still lacking. Here, the adult rat model of ICH was used to investigate the efficacy of a combinational therapy of deferoxamine (DFX) and minocycline.Methods: The ICH was induced by stereotaxic infusion of collagenase into striatum of adult rats. After the induction of ICH, rats were treated with intraperitoneal injection of deferoxamine (50 mg/kg), minocycline (45 mg/kg), or both agents, at 2 hours after ICH and then every 12 hours for up to 3 days. The vehicle group were treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) only. Rats were killed at 1, 2, and 3 day(s) for examination of iron deposition, neuronal death, neurological deficits, the area of brain damage, activation of microglia/macrophages.Results: Our data revealed that the systemic administration of DFX and/or minocycline decreased iron accumulation. And immunofluorescence staining results indicated that drug-treated group significantly decreased the neuronal degeneration, the number of activated microglia/macrophages and the amount of cell death after ICH. In addition, neurological deficits caused by ICH were improved in t...Continue Reading

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
