Glial swelling following human cerebral contusion: an ultrastructural study.
The ultrastructural features of cerebral contusion seen three hours to 11 days after head injury were studied in 18 patients undergoing surgery. Massive astrocytic swelling ("cytotoxic" oedema) was seen three hours to three days after injury, maximal in perivascular foot processes, and compressing some of the underlying capillaries. The tight junctions were not disrupted. Neuronal damage was mo...
متن کاملNeurogenic stunned myocardium following hemorrhagic cerebral contusion.
Neurogenic stunned myocardium (NSM) is a well-known complication of subarachnoidal hemorrhage, but has been reported rarely in association with other central nervous system disorders. A case of NSM is described in a patient with hemorrhagic brain contusion associated with cerebral edema. An 18-year-old man was admitted with severe cranial trauma following a car roll-over. Six days after admissi...
متن کاملUltrastructural studies on mitochondrial swelling.
Mitochondrial swelling induced by valinomycin, calcium chloride and P(i) was studied after potassium permanganate fixation in suspension. Valinomycin induces a rapid K(+) influx, increase of the matrix space and out-folding of the cristae, with good preservation of the matrix material. This swelling is reversible but the cristae do not completely re-form and have a blebbed appearance. On repeat...

متن کاملGlial swelling during extracellular acidosis in vitro.
Intracellular and extracellular acidosis may determine the ultimate outcome for brain tissue in cerebral ischemia. An extracellular acidosis that occurs in the penumbra zone was investigated in vitro as to its role in the formation of cytotoxic cell swelling. For that purpose, C6 glioma cells or primary cultured astrocytes were suspended in normal isotonic medium in normoxia during acidificatio...
