Neuronal autophagy aggravates microglial inflammatory injury by downregulating CX3CL1/fractalkine after ischemic stroke by Hong-Yun He, Lu Ren, Tao Guo, Yi-Hao Deng

“…However, after inhibition of autophagy signaling with 3-methyladenine, CX3CL1 expression on neurons was obviously increased, whereas Iba-1 and NF-κB expression was downregulated; TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and PGE2 levels were decreased; and cerebral edema was obviously mitigated. In contrast, after treatment with the autophagy inducer Tat-Beclin 1, CX3CL1 expression on neurons was further reduced; Iba-1 and NF-κB expression was increased; TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and PGE2 levels were enhanced; and cerebral edema was aggravated. …”

Exposure to 16 h of normobaric hypoxia induces ionic edema in the healthy brain by Armin Biller, Stephanie Badde, Andreas Heckel, Philipp Guericke, Martin Bendszus, Armin M. Nagel, Sabine Heiland, Heimo Mairbäurl, Peter Bärtsch, Kai Schommer

“…Prolonged hypoxia, which can be due to stroke or ascent to high altitude, can lead to cerebral edema. Here, the authors used a combination of sodium and proton MRI and experimentally induced hypoxic conditions to identify the cause for brain swelling: Ionic edema, an intermediate between cytotoxic and vasogenic edema defined by sodium ion accumulation in extracellular space and an intact endothelium.…”

Severe brain injury management by Eva Gheorghita, Cristina Bucur, Luminita Neagoe, Jean Ciurea, Jemna Constantin

“…After the impact, there are some cerebral mechanisms that are modified and are responsible for the appearance of the secondary injury: damaging of the cerebral metabolism, which has characteristic a very high metabolic rate compared to other tissues, altering the cerebral blood flow responsible for the cerebral oxygenation, altering the blood brain barrier with direct consequences on cerebral edema. Therefore, therapeutic aspects are connected to monitoring and will address to ensuring the hemodynamic stability, accurate oxygenation and correction of the factors that may worsen secondary injury (temperature, glycemia, osmolarity).…”
