چکیده

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to investigate the effect and mechanism of the nitrogen oxide 4-hydroxy- 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (Tempol) on cerebral resuscitation caused by asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest. METHODS Airway occlusion-induced asphyxia at the end of expiration was used to establish the rat cerebral ischaemia-hypoxia injury model. A total of 90 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the three groups. The Tempol and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) groups were further divided into four subgroups according to different time points. RESULTS After cerebral ischaemia, independent heart rate following asphyxia appeared earlier, and the success rate of primary recovery and the neurological function score of rats were higher in the Tempol group than in the conventional CPR group. The serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels in the Tempol and conventional CPR groups were significantly higher within 6 to 48 h than that in the blank control group. The serum NSE level was significantly lower in the Tempol group than the conventional CPR group. CONCLUSIONS After global cerebral ischaemia-hypoxia, the antioxidant Tempol improved cerebral resuscitation by reducing oxidative stress injuries and post-CPR cerebral damage. The NSE level can be used as an early detection index in the diagnosis of global cerebral ischaemia-hypoxia injuries. KEY WORDS Cerebral ischemia; Neuron-specific enolase; Rats; Tempol.

Carbon Monoxide Improves Neurologic Outcomes by Mitochondrial Biogenesis after Global Cerebral Ischemia Induced by Cardiac Arrest in Rats

Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to brain injury following global cerebral ischemia after cardiac arrest. Carbon monoxide treatment has shown potent cytoprotective effects in ischemia/reperfusion injury. This study aimed to investigate the effects of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules on brain mitochondrial dysfunction and brain injury following resuscitation after cardiac arrest in rats....

Hypothermia during reperfusion after asphyxial cardiac arrest improves functional recovery and selectively alters stress-induced protein expression.

This study examined whether prolonged hypothermia induced 1 hour after resuscitation from asphyxial cardiac arrest would improve neurologic outcome and alter levels of stress-related proteins in rats. Rats were resuscitated from 8 minutes of asphyxia resulting in cardiac arrest. Brain temperature was regulated after resuscitation in three groups: normothermia (36.8 degrees C x 24 hours), immedi...

Cerebral resuscitation potentials for cardiac arrest.

Permanent brain damage after cardiac arrest and resuscitation is determined by many factors, predominantly arrest (no-flow) time, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (low-flow) time, and temperature. Research since around 1970 into cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation has attempted to mitigate the postischemic-anoxic encephalopathy. These efforts' results have recently shown outcome benefits as doc...
