Ultrastructural morphological alterations during hyperoxia exposure in relation to glutathione peroxidase activity and free radicals productions in the mitochondria of the cortical brain

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
Exposure to normobaric hyperoxia (NH) is known to increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria. The present study was designed to examine mitochondrial ultrastructure morphological changes in the cortical brainin relation to glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity and free radic...

Cognitive dysfunction in corticobasal degeneration

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (8), 2017
ABSTRACT Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) was originally described as a distinct clinicopathological entity in 1967. Since then, different phenotypic presentations have emerged as possible manifestations of CBD histopathological findings. In addition, pathophysiological findings and the molecular basis ha...

Hallazgos morfométricos y funcionales acerca de la ínsula en población VIH+ con apatía

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
La corteza insular es uno de los componentes de la zona paralímbica que presenta conexiones con áreas corticales y subcorticales. El estudio en personas viviendo con VIH (PVVIH), donde la apatía es frecuente, la implicó como modulador de respuesta emocional y ejecutiva. El objetivo es describir morfo...

Differential effect of the route of inoculation of rabies virus on NeuN immunoreactivity in the cerebral cortex of mice

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
Rabies is a lethal disease caused by a neurotropic virus that produces inconspicuous morphological changes hardly observable with conventional histopathology. The fatal outcome caused by rabies could be attributed to specific biochemical changes that severely impact neuronal function. The neuronal nuclea...

Beneficial effects of glucan against cisplatin side effects on the nervous system in rats 1

Acta cir. bras; 31 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effect of Bg on cisplatin (CP)-induced neurotoxicity in rats. METHODS: Twenty eight rats were randomly distributed into four groups. The first group was kept as a control. In the second group, CP was given at the single dose of 7 mg/kg intraperitoneally....

Effect of hyperbaric oxygenation on mitochondrial function of neuronal cells in the cortex of neonatal rats after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (5), 2016
The timing and mechanisms of protection by hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) have only been partially elucidated. We monitored the effect of HBO on the mitochondrial function of neuronal cells in the cerebral cortex of neonatal rats after HIBD. Neonatal Sprague-Dawley r...

Fundamentals of Brain Tumor Surgery in Eloquent Areas

Arq. bras. neurocir; 34 (2), 2015
Central nervous system tumors are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Themain pathology involved is brainmetastases, followed by intrinsic gliomas. In nearly all cases, surgery is the initial and most important measure to change natural course of disease. In brain metastases and meningiomas, gross ...

Immunohistochemical overexpression of MAP-2 in the cerebral cortex of rabies-infected mice

Int. j. morphol; 33 (2), 2015
The microtubule-associated protein MAP-2 is an integral part of the cytoskeleton and plays an important role in neural morphogenesis. This protein is an essential component of the dendritic cytoskeleton, especially in the adult brain, and its expression can be altered under experimental or pathological c...

Proteçäo cerebral no tratamento cirúrgico dos aneurismas do arco aórtico: estudo experiemental em cäes
Cerebral protection in the surgical treatment of aortic arch aneurysms: experimental study in dogs

É realizado estudo experimental comparativo entre dois métodos de proteçao cerebral na abordagem cirúrgica dos aneurismas do arco aórtico, avaliando a sua eficácia: hipotermia sistêmica profunda isolada (menor que 2O graus Celsius) com pinçamento arterial braquiocefálico e hipotermia sistêmica ...
