title: [Experimental study on effect of Brucea javanica oil emulsion on rabbit intracranial pressure].
abstract: Using the method of intubation into lateral cerebral ventricle, the effect of Brucea javanica oil emulsion (BJOE) venous emulsion and oral emulsion on rabbits with normal and intracranial hypertension respectively were observed, to study whether BJOE could reduce intracranial pressure or not. The results shown that venous emulsion of BJOE had strong action against the elevation of intracranial pressure produced by SNP (P < 0.01) while oral emulsion had mild action against it, which was similar to the clinical observation exhibiting improvement of clinical manifestations after application of BJOE on intracranial hypertension caused by brain metastasis from lung cancer.
