    • Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults and the patients have poor prognosis despite treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The anti-epileptic drug, valproic acid (VPA) as a HDAC inhibitors is often used in glioma patients even if the patients don't have brain tumors associated epilepsy (BAE). Some previous studies have found that VPA not only has anti-epileptic effect, but also has anti-glioma growth effect through enhance radiotherapy sensitivity or other mechanism. Then VPA is reported to improve the survival of glioma patients receiving chemoradiation therapy. In addition, there are limited researches have shown that VPA has a neuroprotective effect in protect normal cells and tissues from the deleterious effects of treatment of glioma, especially radiotherapy. We'll give a brief overview of these effects of VPA in glioma patients.

  • Exacerbation of blood-brain barrier breakdown, edema formation, nitric oxide synthase upregulation and brain pathology after heat stroke in diabetic and hypertensive rats. Potential neuroprotection with cerebrolysin treatment

    • There is a growing trend of hypertension among military and civilian populations due to lifetime stressful situations. If hypertension is uncontrolled it leads to development of diabetes and serious neurological complications. Most of the World populations live in temperate zone across the World. Thus, a possibility exists that these hypertensive and diabetic people may have external heat as potential risk factors for brain damage. We have seen brain edema and brain damage following exposure to heat stress at 38 degrees C for 4h. A possibility exists that heat exposure in diabetic-hypertensive (DBHY) cases exacerbates exacerbation of brain pathology and edema formation. This hypothesis is examined in a rat model. The role of nitric oxide (NO) in exacerbation of HS-induced brain pathology was also evaluated using nitric oxide synthase (NOS) immunoreactivity. Hypertensive rats (produced by two-kidney one clip (2K1C) method) were made diabetic with streptozotocine (50 mg/kg, i.p./day for 3 days) treatment. After 6 weeks, DBHY rats show 20-30 mM/L Blood Glucose and hypertension (180-200 mmHg). Subjection of these rats to 4h HS resulted in six- to eightfold higher BBB breakdown, brain edema formation and brain pathology. At this time, neuronal or inducible NOS expression was four- to sixfold higher in DBHY rats compared to controls. Interestingly, iNOS expression was higher than nNOS in DBHY rats. Cerebrolysin in high doses (10-mL/kg, i.v. instead of 5-mL/kg) induced significant neuroprotection and downregulation of nNOS and iNOS in DBHY animals whereas normal animals need only 5-mL/kg doses for this purpose. Our observations demonstrate that co-morbidly factors exacerbate brain damage in HS through NOS expression and require double dose of cerebrolysin for neuroprotection as compared to normal rats, not reported earlier.

  • Pathophysiology of blood-brain barrier in brain tumor. : Novel therapeutic advances using nanomedicine
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Novel Therapeutic Advances In Glioblastoma. - LONDON ENGLAND : Elsevier. - 9780128211144 ; , s. 1-66
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is one the most common intracranial tumors discovered by Burns (1800) and Abernethy (1804) based on gross morphology of the autopsied material and referred to as "medullary sarcoma" and later "fungus medullare" (Abernethy, 1804; Burns, 1800). Virchow in 1863 was the first German pathologist using histomorphological techniques discovered that GBM is a tumor of glial origin. Virchow (1863/65) also then used the term Glioma for the first time and classified as low-grade glioma and high-grade glioma very similar to that of today according to World health organization (WHO) classification (Jellinger, 1978; Virchow, 1863/65). After almost >50 years of this discovery, Baily and Cushing (1926) based on modern neuropathological tools provide the classification of gliomas that is still valid today (Baily & Cushing, 1926). Although, our knowledge about development of gliomas has advanced through development of modern cellular and molecular biological tools (Gately, McLachlan, Dowling, & Philip, 2017; Omuro & DeAngelis, 2013), therapeutic advancement of GBM still requires lot of efforts for the benefit of patients. This review summarizes new developments on pathophysiological aspects of GBM and novel therapeutic strategies to enhance quality of life of patients. These novel therapeutic approaches rely on enhanced penetration of drug therapy into the tumor tissues by use of nanomedicine for both the diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, referred to as "theranostic nanomedicine" (Alphandery, 2020; Zhao, van Straten, Broekman, Preat, & Schiffelers, 2020). Although, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is fenestrated around the periphery of the tumor tissues, the BBB is still tight within the deeper tissues of the tumor. Thus, drug delivery is a challenge for gliomas and requires new therapeutic advances (Zhao et al., 2020). Associated edema development around tumor tissues is another factor hindering therapeutic effects (Liu, Mei, & Lin, 2013). These factors are discussed in details using novel therapeutic advances in gliomas.

  • Neuromodulation as a basic platform for neuroprotection and repair after spinal cord injury
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Brain protection strategies and nanomedicine. - : Elsevier BV. - 9780323989275 ; , s. 269-300

    • Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most challenging medical issues. Spasticity is a major complication of SCI. A combination of spinal cord stimulation, new methods of neuroprotection and biomedical cellular products provides fundamentally new options for SCI treatment and rehabilitation. The paper attempts to critically analyze the effectiveness of using these procedures for patients with SCI, suggesting a protocol for a step-by-step personalized treatment of SCI, based on continuity of modern conservative and surgical methods. The study argues the possibility of using neuromodulation as a basis for rehabilitating patients with SCI.

  • Spinal cord stimulation and intrathecal baclofen therapy for patients with severe spasticity after spinal cord injury
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Neuropharmacology of Neuroprotection. - : ELSEVIER. - 9780128208137 ; , s. 79-99

    • Rationale. Spasticity is one of the main complications after the spinal cord injury (SCI). Most commonly, severe cases of spasticity are treated surgically with intrathecal baclofen therapy (ITB). Spinal cord stimulation for chronic pains (SCS) serves as an alternative for ITB. Both methods have their benefits and limitations. This study is aimed at development of a personalized SCS and ITB treatment algorithm for patients with severe cases of spasticity after SCI. Materials and methods. The paper analyzes the treatment results of 66 patients with severe spasticity after SCI (50 men and 16 women, age ranging from 18 to 62), average age is 36.03 +/- 12.29 y.o. Patients who chose surgery as a spasticity treatment option, received experimental stimulation, and after muscle tone reduction to a comfort level they were surgically implanted with a SCS system for chronic pain management. Patients with negative response to experimental stimulation were tested for baclofen and, based on the results, had a baclofen pump implanted. The patients were examined after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Results. Surgical implantation of a SCS system was performed for 18 patients, ITB was used for 15 patients. After first 3 months of observation both groups demonstrated a significant improvement of spasticity index, but the SCS patients had better results. However, 6 months later the MAS scores, frequency of spasms and reflexes in both groups were the same. After 12 months of observation the ITB group exhibited a significant improvement of the MAS scores, compared with the control group, and reached the results, similar to the SCS group. Conclusions. Surgical treatment of patients with severe spasticity after SCI should start with experimental spinal cord stimulation, and, in case of a positive response, be followed by SCS system implantation. Patients with positive response to the experimental stimulation exhibit a significantly prolonged response to treatment, without substantial differences from ITB patients.
