Treatment of nervous system injuries by hyperbaric oxygen: a review of molecular mechanisms

Background and aims: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the treatment methods to treat many diseases and injuries such as decompression sickness, wound healing, carbon monoxide poisoning, thermal burns, and nervous system injuries. This article aims to review the possible mechanisms of the effectiveness of this treatment in neurological injuries according to the available studies...

defence mechanisms of the central nervous system

the close relationship between the immune system and the central nervous system (cns) has been well-studied. the cns regulates almost all the functions of the immune system; however, the effect and/or the control of the immune system on the cns has not been well-studied yet. recent reports suggest that the cns has its own defence mechanism(s). in this review, attempts have been made to discuss ...

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Effects of Statins in the Central Nervous System

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as statins, are widely used in the treatment of dyslipidaemia, in addition to providing primary and secondary prevention against cardiovascular disease and stroke. Statins' effects on the central nervous system (CNS), particularly on cognition and neurological disorders such as stroke and multiple sclerosis, have r...

Molecular mechanisms of bacterial infections of the central nervous system.

Central nervous system (CNS) infections may involve the meninges, brain and/or spinal cord. The most common etiologic agents are Streptococcus pneumoniae, group B Streptococci, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Listeria monocytogenes. CNS is characterized by specific structure and function. Despite a unique system of brain barriers and autonomous immune system, CNS is very sus...
