Abstract
HYPOTHESIS To investigate effects of dexamethasone and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on proinflammatory cytokines and hearing levels in the noise-exposed cochlea of rats. BACKGROUND There is an arising concern about negative effects of early initiation of HBOT on hearing in noise-induced hearing loss. Furthermore, effects of HBOT and dexamethasone on cochlear cytokines are not fully elucidated. METHODS Twenty-six rats were divided into 3 groups: control, noise, and treatment groups. Five rats served as control group. White noise at 115 dB sound pressure level was applied to the noise group of 4 rats for 10 days. This group was assigned to a positive control group as it was equivalent to treatment groups. The treatment group of 17 rats underwent the same noise exposure, and then, they were divided into 3 groups based on treatment protocol: 5 and 6 rats received HBOT at the third hour and 24th hour after the noise, respectively, and 6 rats received dexamethasone. Auditory brain stem response threshold was measured in all groups before being assigned to the groups, after the noise exposure and right before being killed. Cytokine levels at the cochlear soft tissues were measured using enzyme-linked immunoassay. RESULTS Final thresholds (10 dB and 5 dB nHL-normal hearing level) of HBOT-24th hour and dexamethasone groups were significantly better than that of untreated noise group (22.5 dB nHL) (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between HBOT-24th hour group (10 dB nHL) and dexamethasone group (5 dB nHL) (p > 0.05). IL-6 and IL-1β of HBOT-third hour group (2.30 ng/mg and 185.43 pg/mg) were significantly higher than those of the noise group (0.91 ng/mg and 131.40 pg/mg), dexamethasone group (1.19 ng/mg and 112.29 pg/mg) and HBOT-24th hour group (1.34 ng/mg and 106.69 pg/mg) (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in IL-6 and IL-1β of HBOT-24th hour group, dexamethasone group, noise group, and control group (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in TNF-α of the 3 treatment groups, noise group, and control group (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The results showed that the most effective method in the treatment of noise-induced hearing loss was early initiation of dexamethasone therapy. There could be negative effects of HBOT on hearing if it is commenced early after the noise (first 3 h). HBOT treatment, which was started at the 24th hour, was found to be an effective method.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) is expressed in response to stress and has been demonstrated to follow a diurnal expression pattern within monocytes and is sensitive to changes in core temperature. Numerous studies have shown changes in HSP72 expression within cell lines exposed to hyperbaric conditions. No studies have investigated changes in HSP72 expression in vivo. Six males participated in the study and were exposed to hyperbaric air and hyperbaric oxygen a week apart. Monocyte HSP72 was analyzed by flow cytometry at 09:00, 13:00, 17:00, 21:00 with hyperbaric oxygen or hyperbaric air breathing commencing at 15:00 for 78 min at a pressure of 2.8 ATA. HSP72 under normoxia followed the established trend; however, following the hyperbaric air or oxygen exposure a reduction in detectable HSP72 was observed at 17:00 and 21:00. No changes in core temperature were observed between 13:00 and 21:00 for any condition. The data show that HSP72 expression is impaired following hyperbaric air (HA) exposure, when compared with control or hyperbaric oxygen (HO) exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) can be a devastating complication of ischemic stroke. Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) has been shown to improve blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in stroke models. The purpose of this study is to examine whether HBO-PC attenuates HT after focal cerebral ischemia, and to investigate whether the mechanism of HBO-PC against HT includes up-regulation of antioxidants in hyperglycemic rats. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (280-320 g) were divided into the following groups: sham, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 2 h, and MCAO treated with HBO-PC. HBO-PC was conducted giving 100% oxygen at 2.5 atm absolute (ATA), for 1 h at every 24 h interval for 5 days. At 24 h after the last session of HBO-PC, rats received an injection of 50% glucose (6 ml/kg intraperitoneally) and were subjected to MCAO 15 min later. At 24 h after MCAO, neurological behavior tests, infarct volume, blood-brain barrier permeability, and hemoglobin content were measured to evaluate the effect of HBO-PC. Western blot analysis of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was evaluated at multiple time-points before and after MCAO. RESULTS HBO-PC improved neurological behavior test, and reduced infarction volume, HT and Evans blue extravasation in the ipsilateral hemisphere at 24 h after MCAO. Western blot analysis failed to demonstrate up-regulation of Nrf2 in HBO-PC group before and after MCAO. Paradoxically, HBO-PC decreased HO-1 expression at 24 h after MCAO, as compared with htMCAO group. CONCLUSIONS HBO-PC improved neurological deficits, infarction volume, BBB disruption, and HT after focal cerebral ischemia. However, its mechanism against focal cerebral ischemia and HT may not include activation of Nrf2 and subsequent HO-1 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on the morphology of estradiol valerate (EV) induced polycystic ovary (PCO) to find a new treatment modality for improvement of PCO. METHODS The rats were divided into four groups. Group1, control; group 2, PCO group; group 3, PCO with HBOT group and group 4, normal ovary with HBOT. PCO was induced by a single intramuscular injection of 4 mg EV in adult cycling rats. Other rats with normal ovaries had oil injection as placebo. HBOT was applied to third and fourth groups for six weeks. Histopathologic evaluation of ovaries of all groups were performed & compared. RESULTS Six weeks of HBOT was resulted in increase in follicular atresia, decrease in the number of primary, secondary, tertiary follicles and decrease in the number of fresh corpus luteum in normal rat ovary. HBOT on polycystic rat ovary, resulted in significant increase in atretic follicles which were already present. CONCLUSIONS HBOT of six weeks itself, changed ovarian morphology in favor of atresia both in PCO group and control group. This result of aggravated follicular atresia after HBOT on EV induced PCO may be due to long-term exposure in our protocol which with this state seems to be inapplicable in the improvement of PCO morphology.

Abstract
AIMS Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with irreversible loss of viable cardiomyocytes. Cell therapy is a potential option to replace the lost cardiomyocytes and restore cardiac function. However, cell therapy is faced with a number of challenges, including survival of the transplanted cells in the infarct region, which is characterized by abundant levels of oxidants and lack of a pro-survival support mechanism. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the effect of supplemental oxygenation on cell engraftment and functional recovery in a rat model. METHODS AND RESULTS MI was induced in rats by a 60-min occlusion of the coronary artery, followed by restoration of flow. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), isolated from adult rat bone marrow, were transplanted in the MI region. Rats with transplanted MSCs were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO: 100% O(2), 2 atmospheres absolute) for 90 min, 5 days/week for 4 weeks. The experimental groups were: MI (control), Ox (MI + HBO), MSC (MI + MSC), and MSC + Ox (MI + MSC + HBO). HBO exposure (oxygenation) was started 3 days after induction of MI. MSCs were transplanted 1 week after induction of MI. Echocardiography showed a significant recovery of cardiac function in the MSC + Ox group, when compared with the MI or MSC group. Oxygenation increased the engraftment of MSCs and vascular density in the infarct region. Molecular analysis of infarct tissue showed a four-fold increase in NOS3 expression in the MSC + Ox group compared with the MI group. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that post-MI exposure of rats to daily cycles of hyperoxygenation (oxygen cycling) improved stem cell engraftment, cardiac function, and increased NOS3 expression.

Abstract
Malaria is an important global health issue, killing nearly one million people worldwide each year. There is a disproportionate disease burden, since 89% of cases are of African origin, and 85% of deaths worldwide occur in children under 5 years of age of age.(1) Cerebral malaria (CM) is the most serious complication of infection. Despite prompt anti-malarial treatment, fatalities remain high - mortality rates while undergoing treatment with Artemisinin or quinine-based therapy reach 15% and 22% respectively.(2) There is, therefore, a need to develop an adjunct therapy to preserve neurological function during the treatment period. Recent experimental research has indicated hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) to be a rational and effective adjunct therapy.(3) This article examines the current understanding of CM, and the possible benefits provided by HBO therapy.

Abstract
CONTEXT Despite its known benefits, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is also reported to enhance the production of reactive oxygen species and can cause oxidative stress in several tissues. Previous studies had shown that HBO-induced oxidative stress is directly proportional to both its exposure pressure and duration. Nevertheless, these studies were usually performed with single-session HBO exposure but its clinical use commonly depends on long-term exposure periods. OBJECTIVE To clarify the oxidative effect of long-term repetitive HBO in the lung tissue of rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six study groups exposed to consecutive HBO sessions (2.8 atm/90 min) for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 days. Animals were sacrificed 24 h after the last HBO session. An additional control group was set to obtain normal data. Lung malondialdehyde (MDA) and carbonylated protein (PCC) levels were determined as measures of oxidative stress along with the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase. RESULTS None of the measured parameters showed any changes among the groups exposed to 5-15 HBO sessions. However, MDA, PCC, and SOD were found to be significantly increased in the 20 to 40 session groups. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION These results indicate that repetitive treatment with HBO may cause oxidative stress in critical tissues including the lung. Although HBO-mediated free radicals are accepted to be responsible for the benefits of this therapeutic modality, especially in cases with prolonged exposure, possible injurious effects of supranormal values of bio-oxidative products need to be considered.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is thought to confer protection to cells via a cellular response to free radicals. This process may involve increased expression of heat shock proteins, in particular the highly inducible heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72). Healthy male volunteers (n = 16) were subjected to HBO for 1 h at 2.8 ATA. Inducible Hsp72 expression was measured by flow cytometry pre-, post- and 4 h-post HBO. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from whole blood via density centrifugation pre-, post- and 4 h post-HBO. PBMC were then subjected to an in vitro heat shock at 40°C or hypoxia at 37°C (5% O(2)) with a control at 37°C. Cells were then analysed for Hsp72 expression by flow cytometry. Monocytes showed no significant changes in Hsp72 expression following HBO. No detectable Hsp72 was seen in lymphocytes or neutrophils. Following in vitro hypoxic exposure, a significant increase in Hsp72 expression was observed in monocytes isolated immediately post- (p = 0.006) and 4 h post-HBO (p = 0.010) in comparison to control values. HBO does not induce Hsp72 expression in PBMC. The reported benefits of HBO in terms of pre-conditioning are not due to inducement of Hsp72 expression in circulating blood cells, but may involve an enhancement of the stress response.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transplanted cells, especially islet cells, are likely to become apoptotic due to local hypoxia leading to graft dysfunction. Isolated pancreatic islet cells depend on the diffusion of oxygen from the surrounding tissue; therefore, access to sufficient oxygen supply is beneficial, particularly when microcapsules are used for immunoisolation in xenotransplantation. The aim of this study was to create a prevascularized site for cell transplantation in rats and test its effectiveness with microencapsulated HEK293 cells. METHODS The combination of implantation of a foam dressing, vacuum-assisted wound closure (foam+VAC) and hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was used in 40 Sprague-Dawley rats. Blood flow and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels were determined. Sodium cellulose sulphate (SCS)-microencapsulated HEK293 cells were xenotransplanted into the foam dressing in rats pre-treated with HBO, and angiogenesis and apoptosis were assessed. RESULTS Vessel ingrowth and VEGF levels increased depending on the duration of HBO treatment. The area containing the foam was perfused significantly better in the experimental groups when compared to controls. Only a small amount of apoptosis occurs in SCS-microencapsulated HEK293 cells after xenotransplantation. CONCLUSION As ischemia-damaged cells are likely to undergo cell death or loose functionality due to hypoxia, therefore leading to graft dysfunction, the combination foam+VAC and HBO might be a promising method to create a prevascularized site to achieve better results in xenogeneic cell transplantation.

Abstract
The mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy have not been fully elucidated. It is presumed that breathing 100% oxygen at pressure generates free radicals and the cellular response to these may confer protection. A crucial signalling molecule, nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NFκB), translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and activates a raft of pathways in response to various stimuli, and plays a role in inflammatory processes. This study focussed upon the expression of NFκB in isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) following HBO. Ten healthy male volunteers underwent a single HBO treatment, breathing 100% oxygen at a pressure of 2.8 ATA for 1 h. EDTA blood samples were taken pre-, post- and 4-h post-HBO. PBMC were isolated, nuclear extracts prepared and assayed using a NFkBp50 transcription factor ELISA. Mean NFκB expression of 0.27 (0.20-0.34, 95%CI) absorbance units (mg protein)(-1) was observed pre-HBO and this increased to 0.29 (0.20-0.38, 95%CI) immediately post-HBO. A significant increase in NFκB expression within PBMC was observed 4-h post-HBO, in comparison to pre-HBO (mean 0.38, 0.30-0.47, 95%CI, p = 0.027). This study demonstrates that HBO induces NFκB activation in human PBMC, which could be a crucial step in the mechanism of HBO treatment.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Oxygen provides the substrate for most ATP production, but also serves as a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can induce cumulative macromolecular oxidative damage and cause aging. Pure oxygen atmospheres (100 kPa) are known to strongly reduce invertebrate lifespan and induce aging-related physiological changes. However, the nature of the relationship between atmospheric oxygen, oxidative stress, and lifespan across a range of oxygen levels is poorly known. Developmental responses are likely to play a strong role, as prior research has shown strong effects of rearing oxygen level on growth, size and respiratory system morphology. In this study, we examined (1) the effect of oxygen on adult longevity and (2) the effect of the oxygen concentration experienced by larvae on adult lifespan by rearing Drosophila melanogaster in three oxygen atmospheres throughout larval development (10, 21 and 40 kPa), then measuring the lifespan of adults in five oxygen tensions (2, 10, 21, 40, 100 kPa). We also assessed the rate of protein carbonyl production for flies kept at 2, 10, 21, 40 and 100 kPa as adults (all larvae reared in normoxia). The rearing of juveniles in varying oxygen treatments affected lifespan in a complex manner, and the effect of different oxygen tensions on adult lifespan was non-linear, with reduced longevity and heightened oxidative stress at extreme high and low atmospheric oxygen levels. Moderate hypoxia (10 kPa) extended maximum, but not mean lifespan.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present work was to study the effects of a single scuba diving immersion to high depth on erythrocyte and plasma antioxidant defenses, on erythrocyte cellular damage, and on nitric oxide (NO) production. METHODS Seven male preprofessional divers performed an immersion at a depth of 40 m for a total time of 25 min. Blood samples were obtained before the diving session after overnight fasting, immediately after diving, and 3 h after the diving session was finished. Erythrocytes and plasma fractions were purified. RESULTS No significant differences were found in circulating erythrocytes, bilirubin, and hemoglobin concentration attributed to diving. Hematocrit levels were reduced after diving because of the reduction of erythrocyte size that was maintained after 3 h of recovery at the surface. Leukocyte counts significantly increased at recovery (38 +/- 4%). In erythrocytes, glutathione peroxidase activity significantly increased (18 +/- 4%) at recovery. A rise in plasma catalase activity (38 +/- 6%) immediately occurred after diving, returning to basal values after recovery. Plasma superoxide dismutase activity significantly increased (58 +/- 7%) during recovery. Markers of oxidative damage in both erythrocytes and plasma such as malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl derivates remained unchanged after diving. Nitrite levels significantly rose in plasma and erythrocytes (85 +/- 8% and 52 +/- 6%, respectively) at recovery. CONCLUSION Scuba diving session induced an antioxidant response in plasma and erythrocytes without the appearance of cellular damage and an increase in NO, which can be related with its vasodilator role.

Abstract
Delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase (δ-ALA-D) enzyme is sensitive to pro-oxidant agents, including molecular oxygen. Here, we tested whether hyperoxygenation after total intravenous (i.v.) anesthesia could interact with the type of anesthesia (dexmedetomidine, continuous infusion; 0.5 μg/kg/h or remifentanil, continuous infusion; 0.3 μg/kg/min) plus propofol using blood δ-ALA-D activity and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels as ending points of toxicity. In absence or presence of dithiothreitol (DTT), δ-ALA-D activity was reduced after hyperoxygenation in the group treated with remifentanil and was not modified in dexmedetomidine group. TBARS increased considerably in the blood of both groups of patients after oxygenation. The results obtained here suggest that the hyperoxygenation was associated with a marked increase in TBARS production regardless of the type of anesthesia. δ-ALA-D activity was only inhibited in remifentanil group, which indicates a possible interaction between oxygenation and the type of anesthetic. This is the first demonstration that dexmedetomidine may protect blood δ-ALA-D from oxidation. However, further studies are necessary to establish a possible antioxidant role of dexmedetomidine against hyperoxygenation in human blood.

Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning improves myocardial function, reduces length of intensive care stay, and limits complications post coronary artery bypass graft surgery. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2010; 11:8-19. [PMID: 20129356 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2009.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2008] [Revised: 03/16/2009] [Accepted: 03/17/2009] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether preconditioning coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with HBO(2) prior to first-time elective on-pump cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) leads to improved myocardial left ventricular stroke work (LVSW) post CABG. The primary end point of this study was to demonstrate that preconditioning CAD patients with HBO(2) prior to on-pump CPB CABG leads to a statistically significant (P<.05) improvement in myocardial LVSW 24 h post CABG. METHODS This randomised control study consisted of 81 (control group=40; HBO(2) group=41) patients who had CABG using CPB. Only the HBO(2) group received HBO(2) preconditioning for two 30-min intervals separated 5 min apart. HBO(2) treatment consisted of 100% oxygen at 2.4 ATA. Pulmonary artery catheters were used to obtain perioperative hemodynamic measurements. All routine perioperative clinical outcomes were recorded. Venous blood was taken pre HBO(2), post HBO(2) (HBO(2) group only), and during the perioperative period for analysis of troponin T. RESULTS Prior to CPB, the HBO(2) group had significantly lower pulmonary vascular resistance (P=.03). Post CPB, the HBO(2) group had increased stroke volume (P=.01) and LVSW (P=.005). Following CABG, there was a smaller rise in troponin T in HBO(2) group suggesting that HBO(2) preconditioning prior to CABG leads to less postoperative myocardial injury. Post CABG, patients in the HBO(2) group had an 18% (P=.05) reduction in length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Intraoperatively, the HBO(2) group had a 57% reduction in intraoperative blood loss (P=.02). Postoperatively, the HBO(2) group had a reduction in blood loss (11.6%), blood transfusion (34%), low cardiac output syndrome (10.4%), inotrope use (8%), atrial fibrillation (11%), pulmonary complications (12.7%), and wound infections (7.6%). Patients in the HBO(2) group saved US$116.49 per ICU hour. CONCLUSION This study met its primary end point and demonstrated that preconditioning CAD patients with HBO(2) prior to on-pump CPB CABG was capable of improving LVSW. Additionally, this study also showed that HBO(2) preconditioning prior to CABG reduced myocardial injury, intraoperative blood loss, ICU length of stay, postoperative complications, and saved on cost, post CABG.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex process resulting in cellular damage and death. Many studies have reported that an ischemic preconditioning could induce protection against ischemic insult. However, the safety concerns and practical feasibility have limited the application of ischemia preconditioning in practice. Subsequently, a number of substances including endotoxin and cytokines etc. have proven effective in inducing ischemic tolerance in the neurocyte. Unfortunately, the application of these substances to the clinical practice of neurosurgery still remains questionable for their toxicity or side effects. Therefore, a novel therapy to protect against cerebral IRI requires further study. Several recent studies confirmed that repeated hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) prior to cerebral ischemia or spinal cord ischemia can provide neuroprotection. HBO as a therapeutic measure has been widely accepted for its convenience and safety. However, information about the mechanism of how this neuroprotection works is still very limited. We hypothesize that autophagy induction is involved in HBO-PC induced neuroprotection on IRI in neurocyte. The hypothesis reveals that autophagy may be a new therapeutic target for cerebral IRI.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species have been suggested to be involved in cyclosporine nephrotoxicity. Hyperbaric oxygen is known to induce the generation of reactive oxygen species in tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of hyperbaric oxygen concurrently with cyclosporine potentiates cyclosporine nephrotoxicity by inducing oxidative stress in kidneys. The study consisted of four groups of rats: a control group, a cyclosporine group (15 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally for 14 days), a hyperbaric oxygen group (60 min. every day for five days at 2.5 atmosphere absolute), and a cyclosporine + hyperbaric oxygen group (cyclosporine 15 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally for 14 days + hyperbaric oxygen for 60 min at 2.5 atmosphere absolute every day for five days on the last five days of cyclosporine treatment). Oxidative stress was determined by measuring renal thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances content, renal superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase activities. Cyclosporine increased serum urea and creatinine levels, indicating the development of nephrotoxicity, and induced significant oxidative stress in rat kidneys. Hyperbaric oxygen alone did not alter any of the biochemical and oxidative stress parameters compared to the control group. When used concurrently with cyclosporine, hyperbaric oxygen significantly reduced cyclosporine-induced oxidative stress, but it neither attenuated nor aggravated cyclosporine-induced nephrotoxicity. These results suggest that reactive oxygen species are involved in cyclosporine nephrotoxicity, but are not the direct cause of the toxicity. Although concurrent use of cyclosporine and hyperbaric oxygen did not exacerbate cyclosporine nephrotoxicity in this model, we recommend that the renal functions of patients be monitored periodically when these treatments are used concurrently.

Abstract
The side effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment, such as oxidative stress and oxygen toxicity, have long been of interest. However, there are no comprehensive studies evaluating such toxic effects in diabetes mellitus (DM). The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of HBO on glucose homeostasis and histological changes in pancreatic beta-cells of experimentally induced diabetic rats. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: 1) Control group, no diabetic induction without HBO treatment; 2) HBO group, exposed to 100% oxygen at 2.8 ATA (atmosphere absolute) for 2 h once daily, for 7 days; 3) DM group, diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection; and 4) DM + HBO group, received both STZ injection and HBO exposure. HBO treatment, with clinically recommended pressures and duration of therapy, was started on day 5 after STZ injection, when the blood glucose levels were significantly increased. After the last HBO treatment, the pancreatic tissues were immunostained to measure the areas of insulin immunoreactive beta-cells in the islets of Langerhans. The blood glucose increased significantly following exposure to HBO, with the highest levels achieved in rats, which had been treated with both HBO and diabetic induction. The area populated with insulin immunoreactive beta-cells decreased significantly following diabetic induction and/or HBO exposure, with the smallest area in DM + HBO group. Thus, HBO exposure enhanced the cytotoxic effect of STZ in the beta-cells of the pancreas. HBO should be cautiously employed in diabetic patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Attenuation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and associated inflammatory cell deposits rescues human amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells (AFS) from apoptosis. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) suppressed stimulus-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production in blood-derived monocyte-macrophages. Herein, we evaluate the beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygen on transplanted AFS in a sciatic nerve injury model. METHODS Peripheral nerve injury was produced in Sprague-Dawley rats by crushing the left sciatic nerve using a vessel clamp. The AFS were embedded in fibrin glue and delivered to the injured site. Hyperbaric oxygen (100% oxygen, 2 ATA, 60 min/day) was administered 12 h after operation for seven consecutive days. Transplanted cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammatory cell deposits and associated chemokines, pro-inflammatory cytokines, motor function, and nerve regeneration were evaluated 7 and 28 days after injury. RESULTS Crush injury induced an inflammatory response, disrupted nerve integrity, and impaired nerve function in the sciatic nerve. However, crush injury-provoked inflammatory cytokines, deposits of inflammatory cytokines, and associated macrophage migration chemokines were attenuated in groups receiving hyperbaric oxygen but not in the AFS-only group. No significant increase in oxidative stress was observed after administration of HBO. In transplanted AFS, marked apoptosis was detected and this event was reduced by HBO treatment. Increased nerve myelination and improved motor function were observed in AFS-transplant, HBO-administrated, and AFS/HBO-combined treatment groups. Significantly, the AFS/HBO combined treatment showed the most beneficial effect. CONCLUSION AFS in combination with HBO augment peripheral nerve regeneration, which may involve the suppression of apoptotic death in implanted AFS and the attenuation of an inflammatory response detrimental to peripheral nerve regeneration.

Abstract
A single exposure to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), i.e., pure oxygen breathing at supra-atmospheric pressures, causes oxidative DNA damage in humans in vivo as well as in isolated lymphocytes of human volunteers. These DNA lesions, however, are rapidly repaired, and an adaptive protection is triggered against further oxidative stress caused by HBO exposure. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that long-term repetitive exposure to HBO would modify the degree of DNA damage. Combat swimmers and underwater demolition team divers were investigated because their diving practice comprises repetitive long-term exposure to HBO over years. Nondiving volunteers with and without endurance training served as controls. In addition to the measurement of DNA damage in peripheral blood (comet assay), blood antioxidant enzyme activities, and the ratio of oxidized and reduced glutathione content, we assessed the DNA damage and superoxide anion radical (O2•−) production induced by a single ex vivo HBO exposure of isolated lymphocytes. All parameters of oxidative stress and antioxidative capacity in vivo were comparable in the four different groups. Exposure to HBO increased both the level of DNA damage and O2•− production in lymphocytes, and this response was significantly more pronounced in the cells obtained from the combat swimmers than in all the other groups. However, in all groups, DNA damage was completely removed within 1 h. We conclude that, at least in healthy volunteers with endurance training, long-term repetitive exposure to HBO does not modify the basal blood antioxidant capacity or the basal level of DNA strand breaks. The increased ex vivo HBO-related DNA damage in isolated lymphocytes from these subjects, however, may reflect enhanced susceptibility to oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of breathing oxygen under high pressure on potential prooxidative activity in diabetic patients with serious vascular complications. Material and methods 24 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, were divided into two groups, 12 patients each, by degree of peripheral vascular complications (by Wagner's scale). The group I was composed of 4 women and 8 men, their average age being 70 years, and average Diabetes duration of 12 years, without clinically manifest peripheral vascular complication (Wagner 0). The group II was composed of 4 women and 8 men, their average age being 74 years, and average illness duration of 17 years, having peripheral vascular complications, classified by Wagner's scale 1-5. Blood samples for biochemical analysis were taken before the therapy, then on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 10th day of hyperbaric oxygenation treatment. The values of superoxide anion radical (O-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and TBARS as a parameter of lipid peroxidation were measured during the HBOt. All examined patients were treated with the same therapy protocol (10 HBO treatments, under pressure of 1.7-2.2 bar, in duration of 60 minutes). The therapy was provided in monoplace oxygen hyperbaric chamber. Results The obtained results show no statistically significant increase in the values of O2-, H2O2, TBARS during the HBOt compared to the values before the HBOt. However, O2-, H2O2 were significantly reduced after HBOt. Conclusion On the basis of these data, we can conclude that the use of oxygen under high pressure has no influence on the increased prooxidative activities in diabetic patients during and after HBOt, disregarding the degree of the present vascular damages.

Abstract
The pressure during hyperbaric oxygen treatment may increase oxygen toxicity via an augmented oxygen pressure in the gas. Nevertheless, only a few reports have been published on the effect of cells grown under 2 atmospheric absolute (ATA) pressure. To evaluate the effect of pressure on oxygen toxicity and to study effects in addition to oxygen toxicity, we designed an experiment to compare the effects of normobaric mild hyperoxia (NMH, 40% oxygen) and hyperbaric air condition (HA, air with 2 ATA) on human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) in a hyperbaric incubator. HDFs in both the NMH and the HA condition had a similar oxidative stress response and exhibited premature senescence. To investigate differences in gene profiling in cells grown in the NMH and HA conditions, samples from cells exposed to each condition were applied to microarrays. We found no expression difference in genes related to aging and deoxyribonucleic acid damage, but the expression of genes including cell adhesion, stress response, and transcription were significantly increased in fibroblasts that were responsive to pressure. Among 26 statistically reliable genes, the expression of apoptosis related genes such as ADAM22, Bax, BCL2L14, and UBD, as well as tumor suppressor-related genes like Axin2 and ATF, and also mitogen-activated protein kinase-related genes like mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1, histamine receptor, and RAB24, were significantly changed in cells responsive to pressure-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Microparticles (MP) are shed into the circulation from endothelium following activation or apoptosis. Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is expressed on endothelial cells following activation and here we report quantification of VCAM-1 positive microparticles (VCAM + MP) following simulated SCUBA dives, breathing either air or oxygen. VCAM + MP were quantified pre-dive (09:00 and 13:00) and post-dive (+1, +3 and +15 h) on both air and oxygen dives and compared with control samples taken from the same subjects. VCAM + MP followed a similar trend in all experiments, however both dives caused a change in endothelial state, as measured by VCAM + MP. A significant increase in VCAM + MP was observed 1 h post-air dive relative to the control (p = 0.013), which was not observed after the oxygen dive (p = 0.095). Oxidative stress (TBARS) was correlated with VCAM + MP. Data presented highlights the potential of MP as a biological marker of both endothelial state and decompression illness.

Abstract
This mini-review summarizes current ideas of how hyperbaric gases (>1-10 atmospheres absolute) affect neuronal mechanisms of excitability through molecular interaction with membrane components. The dynamic nature of the lipid bilayer, its resident proteins, and the underlying cytoskeleton make each respective nanostructure a potential target for modulation by hyperbaric gases. Depending on the composition of the gas mixture, the relative concentrations of O(2) and inert gas, and total barometric pressure, the net effect of a particular gas on the cell membrane will be determined by the gas' 1) lipid solubility, 2) ability to oxidize lipids and proteins (O(2)), and 3) capacity, in the compressed state, to generate localized shear and strain forces between various nanostructures. A change in the properties of any one membrane component is anticipated to change conductance of membrane-spanning ion channels and thus neuronal function.

Abstract
This study comprised 2 main experiments: one was to determine the oxidative DNA damage under hyperbaric hyperoxia (HBO), and the other was to evaluate the effects of pre-exposure to HBO on high-intensity exercise performance. Healthy subjects (n = 8) inspired 100% O2 in an experimental chamber at a pressure of 1.3 atmospheres absolute (ATA) for 50 minutes once per week for 2 weeks. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured as a marker of DNA oxidative damage on day 0 and on days 1, 3, and 5 after each HBO exposure. To investigate the effects of pre-exposure to HBO on high-intensity exercise performance, subjects (n = 6) performed maximal isometric knee extensor exercise (30 repetitions x 2 sets) with and without HBO pre-exposure (100% O2 at 1.3 ATA for 50 minutes). Urinary 8-OHdG did not show any significant change after HBO exposure. Isometric knee extensor torque was significantly lower during the first half of the first set of exercises after HBO pre-exposure compared with the normobaric normoxia (NBO) trial. The decreased torque was associated with the lower integrated electromyography with respect to time. Changes in the degree of ischemia-reperfusion in the vastus lateralis muscle during exercise were larger in the HBO pre-exposure trial than in the NBO trial. Muscle fatigue index, serum lactate concentration, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure showed no differences between the 2 trials. These results indicated that HBO exposure was harmless to DNA, and HBO pre-exposure did not enhance high-intensity exercise performance. As a practical application, athletes who require maximal muscle strength should not inspire high-concentration of O2 just before their competitions because it might, as the case may be, impair their performance.

Abstract
Cisplatin, an effective antineoplastic agent, frequently induces acute renal failure in animals and humans. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been shown to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. This study investigated the effect of two different HBO regimes on renal functions, oxidative stress, and histopathological changes in rat kidneys after cisplatin treatment. Wistar rats were divided into five groups: control, HBO, cisplatin, cisplatin plus once daily HBO, and cisplatin plus twice daily HBO. Cisplatin was given as a single intraperitoneal dose of 6 mg/kg, and HBO was applied for 60 min at 2.5 atm for six days. HBO alone did not alter any biochemical parameters or histopathological findings compared with the control group. Cisplatin increased serum urea and creatinine levels and caused severe histopathological injury. In addition, cisplatin increased lipid peroxidation and impaired superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in kidney tissue. Once daily HBO after cisplatin treatment slightly reduced serum urea and creatinine levels and attenuated histopathological injury. HBO also reduced lipid peroxidation and increased SOD and GSH-Px activities significantly. Although twice daily HBO was determined to be more effective than once daily HBO on oxidative stress parameters, it increased serum creatinine levels and histopathological injury compared with the cisplatin group. It was concluded that HBO alone does not induce nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress in rat kidneys; once daily HBO may prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, an effect that is partially mediated by the modification of oxidant/antioxidant systems in the kidneys; and twice daily HBO potentiates cisplatin nephrotoxicity by a ROS-independent mechanism.

Abstract
We studied the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning on the molecular mechanisms of neuroprotection in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model. Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with HBO (100% O2, 2 atmospheres absolute, 1 h once every other day for 5 sessions) or with room air. In experiment 1, HBO-preconditioned rats and matched room air controls were subjected to focal cerebral ischemia or sham surgery. Postinjury motor parameters and infarction volumes of HBO-preconditioned rats were compared with those of controls. In experiment 2, HBO-preconditioned rats and matched room air controls were killed at different time points. Brain levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and its downstream target gene erythropoietin (EPO) analyzed by Western blotting and RT-PCR as well as HIF-1α DNA-binding and transcriptional activities were determined in the ipsilateral hemisphere. HBO induced a marked increase in the protein expressions of HIF-1α and EPO and the activity of HIF-1α, as well as the expression of EPO mRNA. HBO preconditioning dramatically improved the neurobehavioral outcome at all time points (3.0 ± 2.1 vs. 5.6 ± 1.5 at 4 h, 5.0 ± 1.8 vs. 8.8 ± 1.4 at 8 h, 6.4 ± 1.8 vs. 9.7 ± 1.3 at 24 h; P < 0.01, respectively) and reduced infarction volumes (20.7 ± 4.5 vs. 12.5 ± 3.6%, 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining) after cerebral ischemia. This observation indicates that the neuroprotection induced by HBO preconditioning may be mediated by an upregulation of HIF-1α and its target gene EPO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The functional evaluation of the effect of the hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) onset time on cochlea by using distortion product otoacoustic emission. STUDY DESIGN Animal study. METHODS Twenty-four Wistar albino rats were divided into six groups and their right ears were directly exposed to a 110-dB sound pressure level (1-12 kHz) white noise for 25 minutes. The first group was considered the control group. HBOT was started at 1 hour postexposure for the second group, at 2 hours postexposure for the third group, at 6 hours postexposure for the fourth group, at 24 hours postexposure for the fifth group, and at 48 hours postexposure for the sixth group. Signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) were recorded before the noise exposure; immediately after the noise exposure; and on the 3rd, 7th, and 10th day of postexposure. RESULTS SNRs at 6 to 8 kHz were significantly decreased after the acoustic trauma. The evaluation on the third day of postexposure showed that recovery begun in all groups except the group in which the HBOT was started at 1 hour postexposure. SNRs in the control group and HBOT groups were back to the preexposure levels at 10 days postexposure, except the 1- and 2-hour postexposure groups. However, in the group in which the HBOT was started at 1 hour postexposure, distortion product otoacoustic emissions were lost except at 4 kHz. The recovery of the SNRs in hyperbaric oxygen administration at 2 hours postexposure almost completed on the 10th day after noise exposure. CONCLUSION Immediate HBOT in acoustic trauma treatment is not necessary; on the contrary, it has an adverse effect.

Abstract
Hypoxic ischemic (HI) injury in neonates damages brain tissues. We examined the mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) in neonatal HI rat model. Seven-day-old rat pups were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation and hypoxia (8% oxygen at 37 degrees C) for 90 min. HBO (100% O(2), 2.5 atmospheres absolute for 2.5 h) were administered by placing pups in a chamber 24 h before HI insult. Brain injury was assessed by the survival rate, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC), Nissl, TUNEL straining and caspase-3,caspase-9 activities after HI. In HBO preconditioned animals, survival rate was increased, infarct ratio was decreased, and the positive stained TUNEL cells were reduced, accompanied by the suppression of caspase-3 and -9 activities. These results indicate that a single HBO-PC appears to provide brain protection against HI insult via inhibition of neuronal apoptosis pathways.

Abstract
1. The oxygen toxicity of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has long been of interest. There is an extensive amount of information regarding the role oxidative stress plays after HBO exposure in different tissues, but the question of the persistence of this oxidative effect has not been thoroughly elucidated. 2. The present study was performed to elucidate the persistence of the oxidative effects of HBO on rat lungs and erythrocytes after they had been subjected to 100% oxygen exposure. 3. Rats were divided into five groups. All animals, except those in the control group, were subjected to 100% oxygen for 2 h at 3 ATA ( identical with 300 kPa). Rats were killed at 30, 60, 90 or 120 min after exposure and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) levels and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were determined. 4. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances levels and SOD and GPx levels were found to be significantly increased in lung tissue up to 60 min after exposure. Superoxide dismutase activity persisted at significantly high values for 90 min after exposure in erythrocytes and the lung. The TBARS levels in erythrocytes were also significantly higher for 60 min, whereas increased GPx activity was observed to persist for only 30 min. 5. The oxidative effect of HBO exposure declines to physiological levels within 90 min at most for erythrocytes and in lung tissue in rats. Further studies should focus on the molecular mechanisms that can be activated during this time interval.

Abstract
Peripheral nerves are essential connections between the central nervous system and muscles, autonomic structures and sensory organs. Their injury is one of the major causes for severe and longstanding impairment in limb function. Acute peripheral nerve lesion has an important inflammatory component and is considered as ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Surgical repair has been the standard of care in peripheral nerve lesion. It has reached optimal technical development but the end results still remain unpredictable and complete functional recovery is rare. Nevertheless, nerve repair is not primarily a mechanical problem and microsurgery is not the only key to success. Lately, there have been efforts to develop alternatives to nerve graft. Work has been carried out in basal lamina scaffolds, biologic and non-biologic structures in combination with neurotrophic factors and/or Schwann cells, tissues, immunosuppressive agents, growth factors, cell transplantation, principles of artificial sensory function, gene technology, gangliosides, implantation of microchips, hormones, electromagnetic fields and hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO). HBO appears to be a beneficial adjunctive treatment for surgical repair in the acute peripheral nerve lesion, when used at lower pressures and in a timely fashion (<6 hours).

Abstract
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 a hyperbaric chamber. Lymphocyte H2O2 production rose after diving and after HBO treatment. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase activities increased after diving in lymphocytes, while after HBO exposure only increased GPx activity. Lymphocyte HO-1 mRNA expression increased after diving and after HBO exposure, while iNOS levels and nitrite levels significantly increased after diving. The hyperoxia associated to scuba diving leads to a condition of oxidative stress with increased lymphocyte H2O2 production, HO-1 expression, NO synthesis and antioxidant enzyme adaptations in order to avoid oxidative damage.

Abstract
The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effect of normobaric and hyperbaric O2 (HBO) on plasma antioxidants and biomarkers of oxidative stress in plasma and urine and to investigate the effect of a 4-week vitamin C plus E supplementation on HBO-induced oxidative stress. Nineteen healthy men were exposed to HBO (100 % O2; 240 kPa) before and after 4 weeks' supplementation with 500 mg vitamin C plus 165 mg alpha-tocopherol equivalents. Exposure to 21 % O2 at 100 kPa served as intra-individual controls (control). Samples for the analysis of plasma antioxidants and oxidative stress biomarkers were collected before and immediately after each treatment. The present results showed that when compared with 'control', a single exposure to HBO resulted in a decrease of plasma vitamin C (P = 0.027) and an increase of lipid peroxides (P = 0.0008) and urinary 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) excretion (P = 0.006). Oxidative stress was not prevented by a 4-week supplementation with vitamins C and E. HBO-induced changes in plasma parameters correlated with basal antioxidant levels. The increase of urinary 8-oxodG after HBO plus supplementation correlated negatively with vitamin E intake (P = 0.023). We concluded that in healthy men HBO caused oxidative stress, which could not be prevented by dietary vitamin C plus E supplementation. The present data support the idea that HBO is a suitable model for oxidative stress in healthy volunteers.

Abstract
Whether direct exposure to different concentrations (0%, 13%, 100%) of oxygen may affect horse erythrocyte membrane fluidity (EMF) and fatty acid (FA) composition was studied during 1 (T60) and 2h (T120) exposure. EMF was investigated at the head group level and hydrophobic core thanks to phosphorus nucleus 31 ((31)P) nuclear magnetic resonance ((31)P NMR) and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) using two spin probes: 5-nitroxydestearic acid and 16-doxylstearic acid. Lipid structure of the membranes was studied by gas liquid chromatography. 4-Hydroxy-2E-nonenal was also analyzed as a marker of lipid peroxidation. It increased at T120 13% and 100% oxygen whereas there were no significant changes in membrane dynamic or structure. Correlation was demonstrated between EMF and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood ( [Formula: see text] ). In vitro high rate of oxygenation was efficient to induce lipid peroxidation but did not change membrane dynamics. This may be due to a low free radical production in vitro or to the high red blood cells antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Edaravone (MCI-186) is a novel synthetic free radical scavenger intended to have neuroprotective effect against ischemic insult. It is currently used on patients with cerebral infarction. Here, we note beneficial pharmaceutical effects of edaravone in rat experimental traumatic brain injury. Under specific experimental conditions, edaravone minimized traumatic brain injury by functioning as a synthetic antioxidant. Clinical trials testing the efficacy of edaravone are warranted.

Abstract
In addition to its beneficial effects, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) exposure causes some detrimental effects via oxidative stress. Previous experimental studies showed that melatonin is a useful agent to block single session HBO-induced oxidative stress. In the present study, we investigated the antioxidant effect of exogenously administered as well as endogenously produced melatonin in lung and brain tissues of rats exposed to long term HBO. The HBO procedure was set as daily exposures to 2.5 ATA of oxygen for 1 hr and a total of 10 sessions. Twenty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups as follows: control, daytime HBO, daytime HBO plus melatonin (5 mg/kg), nighttime HBO. Tissue oxidative/antioxidant status was examined by determining the protein carbonyl content as a criteria for oxidative stress and the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). HBO exposure for 10 days caused significant increases in protein carbonyl content and SOD levels of lung and brain, but GSH-Px activities remained unaffected. The increases in protein carbonyls were blocked by exogenously administered melatonin and in part by nighttime exposure to darkness whereas the increase of SOD activity was only impeded by endogenously produced melatonin in brain tissue. Lung SOD activity was augmented by endogenous melatonin. In conclusion, melatonin blocks long-term HBO-induced cumulative oxidative stress as indicated changes in protein carbonyls. Both exogenously injected and physiologically secreted melatonin has this potential. The effects of HBO-exposure and melatonin on the activities of the antioxidative enzymes are less clear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have recently shown that attenuation of sepsis-induced lung injury by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) pretreatment involves expression regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and heme oxygenase (HO)-1. This study was performed to determine the effects of HBO pretreatment on acute kidney and liver injuries in septic rats and the roles of iNOS and HO-1. MATERIALS AND METHODS One group of adult male rats (n = 48) were pretreated with HBO. The other group of rats (n = 48) breathed air at normal atmospheric pressure instead. Rats in each group were randomly allocated to receive injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), normal saline (N/S), LPS plus hemin (a HO-1 inducer), hemin, LPS plus SnPP (a HO-1 inhibitor), SnPP, LPS plus hemin plus SnPP, or hemin plus SnPP. Hemin and SnPP were injected at 1 h before HBO or air pretreatment. Rats were maintained for 6 h before sacrifice. RESULTS LPS caused prominent kidney and liver injuries as well as iNOS and HO-1 expression in stimulated rats. HBO pretreatment significantly attenuated LPS-induced kidney but not liver injury. However, in conjunction with hemin (a HO-1 inducer), HBO pretreatment did attenuate LPS-induced liver injury. In addition, the inhibition of iNOS expression by HBO pretreatment was associated with "super-induction" (i.e., further enhancement) of LPS-induced HO-1 expression. Furthermore, the therapeutic effect of HBO could be counteracted by SnPP (a HO-1 inhibitor). CONCLUSIONS HBO pretreatment significantly attenuates LPS-induced acute organ injuries in septic rats. The beneficial effect of HBO pretreatment against sepsis is mediated, at least in part, by "super-induction" of HO-1.

Abstract
Tumor cells with different origins have different threshold to apoptosis. Hematopoietic (Jurkat, NCI-H929) cells and non-hematopoietic (A549, MCF-7) cells were received hyperbaric oxygen (HBO(2)) treatment from 2.5 to 3.5 atmosphere absolute (ATA) of 100% oxygen for 6h, and a significant percentage of apoptosis were shown only in hematopoietic Jurkat and NCI-H929 cells by either Annexin V or TUNEL assay. Oxidative stress was illustrated higher in HBO(2)-treated hematopoietic cells by superoxide fluorochrome detectors. HBO(2) treatment leads to caspase-3, caspase-7 activation and further cleavage of PARP within cells. Furthermore, the increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was demonstrated in both Jurkat and NCI-H929 cells.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occurs following coronary artery revascularization. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of this injury. However, the evidence for this is inconclusive. Recent studies involving ischemic preconditioning have identified ROS as potential mediators for the cardioprotective effects observed following this technique. Furthermore, cardiac studies involving IRI and the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) have demonstrated the ability of HBO to induce cardioprotection and to attenuate IRI. This review suggests the possible role for HBO as a new drug in the arena of myocardial revascularization and cellular protection. While there is mounting clinical evidence for this, a methodological understanding of HBO's cellular mechanisms of actions appears to be lacking. As such, this article attempts to draw the similarity between HBO and other protective oxidative stress mechanisms and then to speculate in an evidence-based manner its possible cellular mechanistic role as a drug via the generation of ROS.

Abstract
Acute brain ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) induces oxidative stress in brain tissues. Up-regulated NADPH oxidase (NOX), a major enzymatic source of superoxide anion in the brain, may contribute to early brain injury after SAH. We evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on protein expression of gp91(phox) catalytic subunit of NOX, lipid peroxidation as a marker of oxidative stress, and on neurological and neuropathological outcomes after SAH. Twenty-nine male Sprague-Dawley rats (300 to 350 g) were randomly allocated to control (sham operation), SAH (endovascular perforation), and SAH treated with HBO groups (2.8 ATA for 2 hours, at 1 hour after SAH). Cerebral blood flow was measured using laser Doppler flowmetry. Rats were sacrificed after 24 hours and brain tissues collected for histology (Nissl staining and gp91 (phox) immunohistochemistry) and biochemistry. Mortality and neurological scores were evaluated. Neuronal injury associated with enhanced gp91 (phox) immunostaining was observed in the cerebral cortex after SAH. The lipid peroxidation product, malondialdehyde, accumulated in the ipsilateral cerebral cortex. HBO treatment reduced expression of NOX, diminished lipid peroxidation, and reduced neuronal damage. HBO caused a drop in mortality and ameliorated functional deficits. HBO-induced neuroprotection after SAH may involve down-regulation of NOX and a subsequent reduction in oxidative stress.

Investigation of oxidative stress and dietary habits in Mongolian people, compared to Japanese people. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2006; 3:21.

Abstract
Background The average life span of Mongolians is 62 years for males and 69 years for females. This life span is about 16 years shorter than that of Japanese. Mongolian people generally eat meat, fat and diary products but less vegetables or fruit. Thus, we investigated the state of oxidative stress and dietary habits of Mongolians. Methods The investigation was performed in Murun city in the northwest area of Mongolia. A total of 164 healthy subjects (24–66 y) were enrolled. As a marker of reactive oxygen species, the levels of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) were measured using the d-ROM test. Interviews about dietary habits were performed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire established by the Kagawa Nutrition University. Results ROM levels were 429.7 ± 95.2 Carr U for Murun subjects, whereas Japanese people (n = 220, 21–98 y) showed 335.3 ± 59.8 (p < 0.001). The levels of serum malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were also high. ROM levels correlated with body fat ratio and inversely correlated with handgrip strength. Handgrip strength in the subjects over 45 years decreased more rapidly than that of age-matched Japanese. Murun subjects ate larger amounts of meat, fat, milk and flour and dairy products than Japanese, but less vegetables or fruit. Serum vitamin A and E levels were the same as Japanese references, but vitamin C levels were lower. Conclusion Murun subjects may be in high oxidative stress, which may have a relationship with early ageing and several diseases, ultimately resulting in their short life span. In order to increase antioxidant capacity and suppress overproduction of ROM, antioxidant food intake is recommended.
