Treatment of gastrointestinal radiation injury with hyperbaric oxygen.
Abstract: Chronic radiation enteritis develops in 5-20% of patients following abdominal and pelvic radiation. Current treatments are largely ineffective. To assess the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) as a treatment for chronic radiation enteritis and...
Current management for late normal tissue injury: radiation-induced fibrosis and necrosis.
Abstract: Radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) and radionecrosis (RN) are late complications that are usually considered irreversible. Usual management strategy includes eliminating local and general aggravating factors and controlling acute and chronic inflammation with...

Abstract: To observe effect of acupuncture combined witb byperbaric oxygenation on balance function of cerebral infarction. Seventy-two cases were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 36 cases in each group. The control group were treated with...
Hyperbaric oxygen prevents early death caused by experimental cerebral malaria.
Abstract: Cerebral malaria (CM) is a syndrome characterized by neurological signs, seizures and coma. Despite the fact that CM presents similarities with cerebral stroke, few studies have focused on new supportive therapies for the disease. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)...

[Brain and spinal cord preconditioning for the protection against ischemic injury].
Abstract: Recent studies have suggested that the brain preconditioning could induce tolerance to ischemia in humans. It has been believed that newly synthesized proteins are required for the acquisition of delayed tolerance in the brain and spinal cord. However, the...
