| Abstract | Despite dramatic improvements in the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI), to date there is no effective treatment available to patients, and morbidity and mortality remain high. The damage to the brain occurs in two phases, the initial primary phase being the injury itself, which is irreversible and amenable only to preventive measures to minimize the extent of damage, followed by an ongoing secondary phase, which begins at the time of injury and continues in the ensuing days to weeks. This delayed phase leads to a variety of physiological, cellular, and molecular responses aimed at restoring the homeostasis of the damaged tissue, which, if not controlled, will lead to secondary insults. The development of secondary brain injury represents a window of opportunity in which pharmaceutical compounds with neuroprotective properties could be administered. To establish effective treatments for TBI victims, it is imperative that the complex molecular cascades contributing to secondary injury be fully elucidated. One pathway known to be activated in response to TBI is cellular and humoral inflammation. Neuroinflammation within the injured brain has long been considered to intensify the damage sustained following TBI. However, the accumulated findings from years of clinical and experimental research support the notion that the action of inflammation may differ in the acute and delayed phase after TBI, and that maintaining limited inflammation is essential for repair. This review addresses the role of several cytokines and chemokines following focal and diffuse TBI, as well as the controversies around the use of therapeutic anti-inflammatory treatments versus genetic deletion of cytokine expression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
