Real-time analysis of inflammatory cytokines and regulatory gene expression in tissues surrounding the hematoma after intracerebral hemorrhage

BACKGROUND: Secondary lesions can occur in tissues surrounding the hematoma following intracerebral hemorrhage,with the presence of inflammatory reactions,cytokine expression and apoptosis. These have been confirmed in animal studies. Our study sought to determine whether these could be detected in human tissues surrounding the hematoma following intracerebral hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE: To investigate expression of inflammatory cytokines,Bax and Bcl-x,and identify neural cell apoptosis in tissues surrounding th...
