About the Book

This monograph highlights modern concepts of brain ischemia and strategies of neuroprotective therapy. The first part of the book is devoted to mechanisms of ischemic brain damage. The authors present the results of their own clinical and experimental studies conducted in the last two decades, as well as the achievements of native and foreign neurological researches that open a new stage in understanding how reversible changes of blood flow and metabolism are transformed into a permanent morphological lesion, that is, brain infarction. The most important advances in areas of ischemic energy failure, main mechanisms of the glutamate-calcium cascade, influence of metabolic acidosis on ischemic damage, delayed neuronal death connected with microglial activation, local inflammation, autoimmune reactions, trophic dysfunction, and apoptosis, as well as of reaction of the stress-mediating endocrine system to focal brain ischemia are shown in animals and humans, and the relevant literature is cited and critiqued. The book also explores topics that have experienced substantial growth, such as gene expression and subsequent molecular events in response to acute brain ischemia, connected with both tissue damage and reparation. The authors demonstrate not only universal features of the process of brain ischemia, but also individual peculiarities of its course in patients and analyse their reasons. The modern strategies of neuroprotective therapy are disclosed in the second part of the book. The review of main neuroprotectors' studies performed under both experimental (in vitro and in vivo) and clinical conditions, as well as results of the authors' own investigations of original Russian neuroprotectors are presented. The book's balanced demonstration of progress in the field of fundamental researches in patients with ischemic stroke and in experimental models of acute brain ischemia is valuable for clinicians (neurologists, cardiologists, neurosurgeons), as well as for basic scientists and research trainees.
