Evaluation of the apoptosis-related proteins of the BCL-2 family in the traumatic penumbra area of the rat model of cerebral contusion, treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy: a quantitative immunohistochemical study.
Abstract: The growth and progression of traumatic brain injury (TBI) lesions depend significantly on developments in the traumatic penumbra area, perilesional region, where delayed neuronal death occurs. Recent data supports the important role of...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for thermal burns.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) consists of intermittently administering 100% oxygen at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere in a pressure vessel. This technology has been used to treat a variety of disease states and has been described...
The Influence of Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBO) on Proliferation and Differentiation of Human Keratinocyte Cultures In Vitro.
Abstract: A drop in tissue oxygen partial pressure below 30 mm Hg as a result of reduced perfusion in an extensive area of acute skin damage, or where a large number of chronic skin defects occur, inhibits collagen synthesis and neoangiogenesis in...
Clinical studies of hypoxia modification in radiotherapy.
Abstract: Hypoxic modification has been the subject of investigations in clinical radiation oncology since the early 60s. To date, this has not yet resulted in a treatment that has been widely accepted. Logistics and technical difficulties limit...
