BRAIN EDEMA CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER

脑水肿是中枢神经系统的主要反应， 异质性病理性疾病（脊髓水肿与 机制），包括创伤、缺氧、缺血、感染、肿瘤， 以及包括肝功能衰竭，癫痫持续状态， 渗透压紊乱和雷氏综合征 该研究计划的 脑水肿临床研究中心提供跨学科研究 从生物化学，超微结构和生理基础， 对各类脑水肿进行药理和临床研究。 的 方案包括核心预算和以下7个项目： 项目1。脑水肿的分子机制和代谢基础。 项目2.线粒体在脑水肿中的功能。 项目3。创伤和缺血性损伤后脊髓水肿。 项目4。细胞兴奋和细胞内钙积聚（细胞毒性） 脑水肿。 项目5.糖原代谢与脑水肿。 项目6. N.M.R.缺血性脑水肿能量代谢的研究。 项目7.临床研究：纳洛酮在人类头部损伤。 中心的总体目标是使几个实验室能够 单独和共同努力，以扩大知识的基本 各种形式的脑水肿的机制，目的是 将这些研究应用于临床， 治疗脑和脊髓水肿患者。

Brain edema is the major response of the central nervous system to heterogenous pathological disorders (spinal cord edema shares similar mechanisms) including trauma, hypoxia, ischemia, infections, tumors, as well as metabolic disorders including liver failure, status epilepticus, osmotic derangements, and Reye's syndrome. The research program of the Brain Edema Clinical Research Center provides for interdisciplinary studies ranging from the biochemical, ultrastructural and physiological basis of various types of brain edema to pharmacological and clinical studies. The program includes core budgets and 7 projects as follows: Project 1. Molecular Mechanisms and Metabolic Basis of Brain Edema. Project 2. Mitochondrial Function in Brain Edema. Project 3. Spinal Cord Edema After Trauma and Ishemic Injury. Project 4. Cell Excitation and Calcium Accumulation in Cellular (Cytotoxic) Brain Edema. Project 5. Glycogen Metabolism and Brain Edema. Project 6. N.M.R. Studies of Energy Metabolism in Ischemic Brain Edema. Project 7. Clincal Studies: Naloxone in Human Head Injury. It is the overall goal of the Center to enable the several laboratories to work individually and together to broaden knowledge of the fundamental mechanisms of the various forms of brain edema with the intention of bringing such investigations to clinical application in the improved treatment of patients with brain and spinal cord edema.
