چکیده
Thom SR. Oxidative stress is fundamental to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. J Appl Physiol 106: 988 –995, 2009. First published October 9, 2008; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.91004.2008.—The goal of this review is to outline advances addressing the role that reactive species of oxygen and nitrogen play in therapeutic mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen. The review will be organized around major categories of problems or processes where controlled clinical trials have demonstrated clinical efficacy for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Reactive species are now recognized to play a major role in cell signal transduction cascades, and the discussion will focus on how hyperbaric oxygen acts through these pathways to mediate wound healing and ameliorate postischemic and inflammatory injuries.

Background and aims: The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the treatment methods to treat many diseases and injuries such as decompression sickness, wound healing, carbon monoxide poisoning, thermal burns, and nervous system injuries. This article aims to review the possible mechanisms of the effectiveness of this treatment in neurological injuries according to the available studies...
متن کاملThe physiology and pathophysiology of the hyperbaric and diving environments.
HUMAN EXPOSURE to the challenges of the underwater world has been traced back thousands of years (e.g., the diving women of Japan). However, the last century has seen an acceleration of activities with disparate foci on the “Silent World.” The variety and beauty of marine life attract growing numbers of recreational divers, and the pressing need for exploitation of new energy sources has led to...

متن کاملStudy Of Interaction of Glutathione, Vitamin C and Vitamin E Under Hyperbaric Oxygen
In order to study the interaction of glutathione, vitamin C and vitamin E under hyperoxia (95 % oxygen) and hyperbaric oxygen (2.5 atmospheric pressure), 20 days old male Guinea pigs were fed with basal vitamin C free diet, while receiving a vitamin C supplement of either high concentration (50 mg/day) or low concentration (1 mg/day) for two weeks. Animals were than exposed to hyperoxia and hyp...

The aim was to study the effects of a scuba diving session on the lymphocyte antioxidant system, NO synthesis, the capability to produce reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant response in neutrophils. For that purpose seven male divers performed an immersion at a depth of 40 m for 25 min. The same parameters were measured after an hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment at resting conditions in ...
