Abstract
Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is considered as a violent disease with high rate of morbidity and mortality. Early brain injury (EBI) and delayed vasospasm are the two aspects of this disease that are becoming research hotspots.
Objective: We aim to update the role of oxidative stress in the development of EBI and delayed cerebral vasospasm after SAH. Method: We reviewed early researches, and mainly discussed three aspects of contents: reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, the role of oxidative stress in early brain injury and delayed vasospasm, and clinical implications. Results: There are several sources for the excessive generation of oxidants after SAH such as disrupted mitochondrial respiration, upregulated enzymatic pathways, extracellular hemoglobin degradation and depressed intrinsic antioxidant systems. Neuron apoptosis induced by ROS is one vital mechanism of EBI. And extracellular hemoglobin degradation and nitric oxide synthases up-reputation are involved in the pathogenesis of delayed cerebral vasospasm. Some antioxidants show significant neuroprotection in researches. Conclusion: ROS production increases in SAH via mitochondria, hemoglobin or enzymatic pathway, and it plays a vital important role in SAH. It seems that antioxidant therapy will be most effective as one component in a treatment regime that attempts to address all the different pathways to EBI and vasospasm following SAH.Keywords: Delayed vasospasm, early brain injury, oxidatives stress, subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
