Abstract
Introduction: Combined therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and 24-h hydrogen (H2) gas inhalation reduces seizure burden in piglets in the latent phase of hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury versus TH alone. Nevertheless, the effects of H2 gas in the earliest phase following resuscitation were unclear.
Methods: After HI insult, 17 piglets ≤ 24 h old were divided into a HI insult group (HI, n = 8) and a HI and H2 gas group (HI-H2, 2.1%-2.7% H2 gas, 6 h, n = 9). Time to recovery to a normal amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram background (RT-aEEG) was examined for 6 h after HI insult and undamaged neurons were counted.
Results: The duration of low-amplitude (<5 μV) EEG after insult was not different between the two groups. Undamaged neuron numbers were significantly higher in the HI-H2 group than in the HI group (p < 0.01), although RT-aEEG was not different.
Conclusion: Six hours of H2 gas inhalation initiated from resuscitation significantly increased the number of undamaged neurons compared to the untreated group, although there was no difference in RT-aEEG. Six hours of hydrogen gas inhalation exerts a neuroprotective effect even in piglets with delayed functional recovery.
期刊介绍:
''Developmental Neuroscience'' is a multidisciplinary journal publishing papers covering all stages of invertebrate, vertebrate and human brain development. Emphasis is placed on publishing fundamental as well as translational studies that contribute to our understanding of mechanisms of normal development as well as genetic and environmental causes of abnormal brain development. The journal thus provides valuable information for both physicians and biologists. To meet the rapidly expanding information needs of its readers, the journal combines original papers that report on progress and advances in developmental neuroscience with concise mini-reviews that provide a timely overview of key topics, new insights and ongoing controversies. The editorial standards of ''Developmental Neuroscience'' are high. We are committed to publishing only high quality, complete papers that make significant contributions to the field.
