The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on tumour growth in a mouse model of colorectal cancer liver metastases.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy involves the administration of 100% oxygen at high pressure. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions including non-healing wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, and as an adjuvant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The...
An experimental study of the use of hyperbaric oxygen to reduce the side effects of radiation treatment for malignant disease.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used for more than 20 years to assist wound healing in the treatment of the more severe complications associated with the side effects of therapeutic radiation treatment. A prospective study was performed in an irradiated rat...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cytochrome C, Bcl-2 and Bax expression after experimental traumatic brain injury in rats.
Abstract: To explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the neuronal apoptosis at an earlier stage and the expressions of Cytochrome C (Cyt C), Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2 family) and Bax (Bcl-2 associated X protein) in rat brain tissues after traumatic...
Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy using gamma unit after hyperbaric oxygenation on recurrent high-grade gliomas.
Abstract: To reduce this complication and to enhance the radiation effect to hypoxic cells of high-grade gliomas, the authors performed noninvasive fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) using a Gamma unit combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for the...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cytochrome C, Bcl-2 and Bax expression after experimental traumatic brain injury in rats.
Abstract: To explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the neuronal apoptosis at an earlier stage and the expressions of Cytochrome C (Cyt C), Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2 family) and Bax (Bcl-2 associated X protein) in rat brain tissues after traumatic...
Hyperbaric oxygen as a treatment for malabsorption in a radiation-damaged short bowel.
Abstract: Radiation enteritis can be challenging to diagnose and treat. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman who was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in 1978 and treated with hysterectomy and post-operative radiotherapy. Over the next 20...
A unique waterskiing injury leading to a necrotizing foot infection in an insulin-dependent diabetic.
Abstract: Reports of waterskiing-related injuries are limited in the medical literature. The authors report a case of a unique waterskiing injury that progressed into a necrotizing foot infection in a well-controlled insulin-dependent diabetic. This case shows that...
[Recent progress in diagnosis and treatment of the injury to the peripheral nerve].
Abstract: To investigate the latest development in diagnosis and treatment of the injury to the peripheral nerve. The literature at home and abroad was reviewed, and the research findings with clinical experience in diagnosis and treatment for the injury to the...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for delayed radiation injuries in gynecological cancers.
Abstract: Delayed radiation-induced injuries are difficult to treat. The treatment of delayed radiation injuries with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is reported in small case series and case reports. This study reports the experience of a single institution with...
