Experimental exposure of the cat brain surface to neurosurgical irrigation fluids and air: study of blood-brain barrier damage.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Ischemia plays an important role in the development of pathological changes in nerve tissue, and restoration of blood flow results in injury (ischemia/reperfusion [I/R] injury) mediated by toxic oxygen free radicals. Trapidil is currently used as a coronary artery vasodilating agent and is also used for the p...
