RESUMEN
The high-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (HAGS) and the low-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (LAGS) with steroid specificity were demostrated in cerebral cytosol of rats by using the radioligand binding assay. The Kd of HAGS and LAGS were (178?0.71)?l0-8mol/L and (2.12?1.06)?10-6mol/L respecitively as estimated by Scatchard and Pseudoscatchard analysis. Glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in the traumatized(left) hemisphere cytosol were decreased more significantly than those in both the control (right) hemisphere cytosol at 6h postinjury and normal brain tissue (P
RESUMEN
Thirty-six cases of delayed tramatic intracranial hematomas are reported in this paper. Among them 9, 5, 10 and 12 cases were epidural, subdural, intracerebral and multiple hematomas, respectively. The initial CT scans showed normal or brain contusions accompanied by a Me hemorrhage in 23 patients, and delayed intracranial hematomas developed after the earlier neurosurgical operations for evacuations of another traumatic mass lessions for urgent decompressions in 13 patients. Delayed hematomas occurred mostly in the acute stage of head injuries and most patients were impacted occipitally. Deterioration of consciousness was the most important manifestation for diagnosis. The responsible mechanisms of delayed intracranial hematomas are investigated and the indications of repeat CT scans or surgery for its early diagnosis are Droposed.
