1945年就有人用肾上腺皮质的提液来预防暴露于空气中的猫脑的肿胀,此后,肾上腺皮质激素就被用于脑水肿的治疗上了。临床研究证明:用类固醇来治疗由于脑瘤、脑外伤、颅脑手术或其他原因所引起的脑水肿是有效的,用各种动物模型进行实验性的研究也证实了类固醇对脑水肿的有效作用。脑梗塞常伴发脑水肿这是已被病理学家们所证实过的,急性脑梗塞在7天内死亡的病例中脑水肿是明显的致死原因。有人曾证实过在106例大脑半 In 1945, adrenal cortex hormones were used to treat brain edema after the adrenal cortex was used to prevent swelling of the cat’s brain exposed to the air. Clinical studies have shown that steroid treatment of brain edema caused by brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, craniocerebral surgery or other causes is effective. Experimental studies using various animal models have also confirmed the effective effect of steroids on cerebral edema . Cerebral infarction often associated with cerebral edema This has been confirmed by pathologists, cerebral infarction in seven days of death in cerebral edema is a clear cause of death. It has been confirmed in 106 cases of the brain half
