[PMID: 38434271 PMCID: PMC10906417 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) is the only non-invasive technique to quantify neurometabolic compounds in the living brain. We used 1H-MRS to evaluate the brain metabolites in a rat model of Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham and CLP groups. Each group was further divided into three subgroups: subgroup O, subgroup M, and subgroup N. Neurological function assessments were performed on the animals in the subgroup O and subgroup N at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. The animals in the subgroup M were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 12 h after CLP. Compared with the sham group, the ratio of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) to creatine (Cr) in the hippocampus was significantly lower in the CLP group. The respective ratios of lactate (Lac), myo-inositol (mIns), glutamate and glutamine (Glx), lipid (Lip), and choline (Cho) to Cr in the CLP group were clearly higher than those in the sham group. Cytochrome c, intimately related to oxidative stress, was elevated in the CLP group. Neurofilament light (NfL) chain and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) scores in the CLP group were significantly higher than those in the sham group, while zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) was downregulated. Compared with the sham group, the CLP group displayed higher values of oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), central venous-arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P (cv-a) CO2), and central venous lactate (VLac). In contrast, jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) declined. In the present study, 1H-MRS could be used to quantitatively assess brain injury in terms of microcirculation disorder, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, and glial cell activation through changes in metabolites within brain tissue.

Clinical targeting of the cerebral oxygen cascade to improve brain oxygenation in patients with hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury after cardiac arrest. Intensive Care Med 2023; 49:1062-1078. [PMID: 37507572 PMCID: PMC10499700 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-023-07165-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
The cerebral oxygen cascade includes three key stages: (a) convective oxygen delivery representing the bulk flow of oxygen to the cerebral vascular bed; (b) diffusion of oxygen from the blood into brain tissue; and (c) cellular utilisation of oxygen for aerobic metabolism. All three stages may become dysfunctional after resuscitation from cardiac arrest and contribute to hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI). Improving convective cerebral oxygen delivery by optimising cerebral blood flow has been widely investigated as a strategy to mitigate HIBI. However, clinical trials aimed at optimising convective oxygen delivery have yielded neutral results. Advances in the understanding of HIBI pathophysiology suggest that impairments in the stages of the oxygen cascade pertaining to oxygen diffusion and cellular utilisation of oxygen should also be considered in identifying therapeutic strategies for the clinical management of HIBI patients. Culprit mechanisms for these impairments may include a widening of the diffusion barrier due to peri-vascular oedema and mitochondrial dysfunction. An integrated approach encompassing both intra-parenchymal and non-invasive neuromonitoring techniques may aid in detecting pathophysiologic changes in the oxygen cascade and enable patient-specific management aimed at reducing the severity of HIBI.

[PMID: 34678332 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.10.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed a retrospective analysis of our earlier study on cerebral oxygenation monitoring by jugular venous oximetry (SjvO2) in patients of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The study was focused on high SjvO2 values (≥75%) and their association with neurological outcomes and serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) concentration. METHOD Forty OHCA patients were divided into (i) high (Group I), (ii) normal (Group II), and (iii) low (Group III) SjvO2, with the mean SjvO2 ≥ 75%, 55-74% and <55% respectively. The neurological outcome was evaluated using the Cerebral Performance Category scale (CPC) on the 90th day after cardiac arrest (post-CA). NSE concentration was determined after ICU admission and then at 24, 48, and 72 hours (h) post-CA. RESULTS High mean SjvO2 occurred in 67% of patients, while no patients had low mean SjvO2. The unfavourable outcome was significantly more common in Group I than Group II (74% versus 23%, p < 0.01). Group I patients had significantly higher median NSE than Group II at 48 and 72 h post-CA. A positive correlation was found between SjvO2 and PaCO2. Each 1 kPa increase in CO2 led to an increase of SjvO2 by 2.2 %+/-0.66 (p < 0.01) in group I and by 5.7%+/-1.36 (p < 0.0001) in group II. There was no correlation between SjvO2 and MAP or SjvO2 and PaO2. CONCLUSION High mean SjvO2 are often associated with unfavourable outcomes and high NSE at 48 and 72 hours post-CA. Not only low but also high SjvO2 values may require therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
In recent years, cerebral blood oxygen saturation has become a key indicator during the perioperative period. Cerebral blood oxygen saturation monitoring is conducive to the early diagnosis and treatment of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. The present study discusses the three most extensively used clinical methods for cerebral blood oxygen saturation monitoring from different aspects: working principles, relevant parameters, current situations of research, commonly used equipment, and relative advantages of different methods. Furthermore, through comprehensive comparisons of the methods, we find that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has significant potentials and broad applications prospects in terms of cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring. Despite the current NIRS technology, the only bedside non-invasive cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring technology, still has many defects, it is more in line with the future development trend in the field of medical and health, and will become the main method gradually.
