The treatment of anaplastic oligodendrogliomas and mixed gliomas.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Traumatic brain injuries remain a treatment enigma with devastating late results. As terminally differentiated tissue, the brain retains little capacity to regenerate, making early attempts to preserve brain cells after brain injury essential. OBJECTIVE:To resuscitate damaged tissue by modulating edema, sol...
