Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Perihematomal edema (PHE) is a major threat leading to poor functional outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). TIMP-2 is considered to participate in the formation of PHE after ICH by antagonizing the damaging effects of MMP-2. In the early study, the polymorphisms of TIMP-2 rs8179090 have shown to influence the expression of TIMP-2. OBJECTIVE: To prove that the severity of PHE was different in...
