Ischemic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology01:15

Ischemic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

An ischemic stroke occurs when a cerebral blood vessel becomes obstructed, most often by a thrombus or embolus, interrupting the delivery of oxygen and glucose to brain tissue. Because neurons rely on continuous aerobic metabolism, energy failure begins within minutes of reduced perfusion. The region receiving the least blood flow becomes the infarct core, an area of irreversible cellular death. Surrounding this core lies the penumbra, a zone of hypoperfused but still viable tissue that is...
Hepatic Encephalopathy01:29

Hepatic Encephalopathy

DefinitionHepatic encephalopathy is a reversible neurologic syndrome that results from advanced liver dysfunction or portosystemic shunting. It leads to disturbances in cognition, behavior, and motor function due to the brain’s exposure to gut-derived toxins that the liver fails to detoxify.EtiologyThis condition develops either in the setting of acute fulminant hepatitis or progressively during chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Portosystemic shunting—including...

Summary

Perinatal asphyxia impacts newborns, affecting dopamine levels and brain injury. High oxygen after birth may worsen dopamine recovery, while urine lactate/creatinine ratios can predict hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neonatal Research
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Perinatal asphyxia is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and long-term neurological deficits.
  • The striatum, crucial for motor control, is vulnerable to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
  • Dopaminergic pathways in the striatum are implicated in the brain's response to perinatal insults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between cerebral oxygenation, striatal dopamine release, and blood pressure following perinatal asphyxia in piglets.
  • To assess the impact of different inspired oxygen concentrations (21% vs. 100% O2) on dopamine metabolism and secondary dopamine release after asphyxia.
  • To evaluate the utility of urine lactate/creatinine ratio, measured by 1H-NMR spectroscopy, in predicting subsequent hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns.

Main Methods:

  • Piglets were subjected to varying degrees and types of hypoxia/ischemia.
  • Cerebral cortical oxygen pressure and striatal extracellular dopamine levels were continuously monitored.
  • Urine samples from newborns were analyzed using 1H-NMR spectroscopy within six hours of birth to determine lactate/creatinine ratios.

Main Results:

  • Striatal dopamine release correlated more closely with blood pressure changes than cortical oxygen pressure during insults.
  • While 100% O2 increased cortical oxygenation post-asphyxia, it led to poorer dopamine metabolism recovery and increased secondary dopamine release.
  • Elevated urine lactate/creatinine ratios in newborns within six hours of birth were significantly associated with subsequent hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and perinatal distress.

Conclusions:

  • High inspired oxygen concentrations (100% O2) after perinatal asphyxia may exacerbate brain injury by impairing dopamine metabolism and increasing secondary dopamine release.
  • Striatal dopamine levels during insults are critical indicators of potential striatal lesions.
  • Urine 1H-NMR spectroscopy offers a sensitive and specific method for early identification of newborns at risk for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
