0353. Do the noble gases helium and argon exert neuroprotective effects in a rodent cardiac arrest model?

چکیده
Introduction The noble gas xenon exerts neuroprotective effects after various insults, but availability of xenon is limited. Helium and argon are readily available noble gases, but the results of studies using helium as neuroprotective measure are mixed, and the effects of argon are less well studied. In a recent cardiac arrest (CA) study, 70% argon (in O2) administered for 1 hour post CA improved outcome [1].

Argon: Neuroprotection in in vitro models of cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury
INTRODUCTION Recently, it has been shown in several experimental settings that the noble gases xenon and helium have neuroprotective properties. In this study we tested the hypothesis that the noble gas argon has a neuroprotective potential as well. Since traumatic brain injury and stroke are widespread and generate an enormous economic and social burden, we investigated the possible neuroprote...
متن کاملNeuroprotection against traumatic brain injury by xenon, but not argon, is mediated by inhibition at the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor glycine site.
BACKGROUND Xenon, the inert anesthetic gas, is neuroprotective in models of brain injury. The authors investigate the neuroprotective mechanisms of the inert gases such as xenon, argon, krypton, neon, and helium in an in vitro model of traumatic brain injury. METHODS The authors use an in vitro model using mouse organotypic hippocampal brain slices, subjected to a focal mechanical trauma, wit...
متن کاملArgon: Systematic Review on Neuro- and Organoprotective Properties of an “Inert” Gas
Argon belongs to the group of noble gases, which are regarded as chemically inert. Astonishingly some of these gases exert biological properties and during the last decades more and more reports demonstrated neuroprotective and organoprotective effects. Recent studies predominately use in vivo or in vitro models for ischemic pathologies to investigate the effect of argon treatment. Promising da...
متن کاملThe Possibility of Selective Adsorption and Sensing of the Noble Gaseous Species by the C20 Fullerene, the Graphene Sheets, and the N4B4 Cluster
There are only a handful reports about the sensor systems having the ability of detecting the existence of the noble gases. Chemical reluctance of these gaseous species causes them to have no chemical interactions like hydrogen bonding with the chemically designed nano-sized sensors. Noble gasses usually have no atomic charges nor do change the total polarity of the molecular sensor systems. Th...
متن کاملAntiapoptotic activity of argon and xenon
Although chemically non-reactive, inert noble gases may influence multiple physiological and pathological processes via hitherto uncharacterized physical effects. Here we report a cell-based detection system for assessing the effects of pre-defined gas mixtures on the induction of apoptotic cell death. In this setting, the conventional atmosphere for cell culture was substituted with gas combin...
