Outline of Final Research Achievements

Rat SAH model by endovascular perforation from the internal carotid artery was performed. Prior to the procedure, the left head is drilled, the tip of the brain pressure sensor is inserted into the left frontal lobe, and the intracerebral pressure(ICP) is continuously monitored from before SAH. A treatment group was prepared for the rat subarachnoid hemorrhage model which was prepared, and euthanasia was conducted 24 hours later and examination was conducted. TUNEL staining and caspase 3(ELAISA) as well as anti-radical staining were added as detection of apoptosis. Regarding the breakdown of the blood vessel brain barrier(BBB), MMP - 9 was measured by ELISA, and treatment effect was obtained with significant difference in edaravone. As a result of evaluation on basal artery blood vessel area measurement, the effect of treating cerebral vasospasm was significantly recognized in the Edaravone treatment group.
