We established a rat model of posttraumatic epilepsy induced using ferric ions. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with carbenoxolone, 20 mg/kg, prior to and 30 minutes after model establishment, once a day for 14 consecutive days. Immunohistochemistry showed glial cell proliferation around a cortical focus and significantly increased connexin expression in posttraumatic epilepsy. However, carbenoxolone pretreatment or treatment significantly reduced connexin expression in the cortex, inhibited glial fibdllary acidic protein expression and ameliorated seizure degree in rats. These findings indicate that large amounts of glial cell proliferation and abnormal gap junction generation play a role in posttraumatic epilepsy, and that carbenoxolone may prevent and treat this disease.展开更多

One of the important properties of pectin is its bioadhesive properties. Native pectin provides fair bioadhesive properties that can be improved by modification of pectin structure. The immobilization of thiol groups on polymer can significantly improve the bioadhesive properties due to in situ cross-linking between thiol groups of polymer and mucin [1].展开更多
