Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a large and diverse group of autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative diseases. No drugs have been approved for these relentlessly progressive and fatal SCAs. Our previous studies indicate that oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis are elevated in the SCA17 mice, which are the main therapeutic targets of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). HBOT is considered to be an alternative and less invasive therapy for SCAs. In this study, we evaluated the HBOT (2.2 ATA for 14 days) effect and the persistence for the management of SCA17 mice and their wild-type littermates. We found HBOT attenuated the motor coordination and cognitive impairment of SCA17 mice and which persisted for about 1 month after the treatment. The results of several biochemistry and liver/kidney hematoxylin and eosin staining show the HBOT condition has no obvious toxicity in the mice. Immunostaining analyses show that the neuroprotective effect of HBOT could be through the promotion of BDNF production and the amelioration of neuroinflammation. Surprisingly, HBOT executes different effects on the male and female SCA17 mice, including the reduction of neuroinflammation and activation of CaMKII and ERK. This study suggests HBOT is a potential alternative therapeutic treatment for SCA17. Accumulated findings have revealed the similarity in disease pathomechanisms and possible therapeutic strategies in polyQ diseases; therefore, HBOT could be an optional treatment as well as the other polyQ diseases.

[PMID: 37531136 DOI: 10.1080/15569527.2023.2243499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on corneal endothelial structure and anterior segment parameters in healthy eyes. METHODS 17 eyes of 17 patients who were scheduled to receive HBOT for other than ophthalmologic indications were investigated in this prospective study. Central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal endothelial properties were evaluated using a specular microscope. Endothelial cell density (ECD), average cell area (AVG), coefficient of variation in cell size (CV), percentage of hexagonal cells (HEX), CCT, intraocular pressure (IOP), spherical equivalent (SE), axial length (AL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) values were measured before the HBOT, after the 1st session, and after the 20th session of therapy. RESULTS 47% of the patients (n = 8) received HBOT because of avascular necrosis, 35% (n = 6) due to sudden hearing loss, 12% (n = 2) for diabetic foot, and 6% (n = 1) for wound infection. The mean IOP was 14,80 mmHg before HBOT, 14,20 mmHg after the 1st session, and 13,73 mmHg after the 20th session. The mean ACD was 3,38 mm before HBOT, 3,34 mm after the 1st session, and 3,16 mm after the 20th session. Although the mean IOP and ACD decreased after HBOT sessions, it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). A significant reduction was observed in SE values after 20 sessions of HBOT compared to the values measured before HBOT (p = 0,009). The mean ECD was 2572,53 ± 261,51 cells/mm2 before HBOT, 2554,47 ± 236,13 after the 1st session, and 2563,13 ± 226,92 after the 20th session. When the corneal properties measured before and after HBOT sessions were compared, no significant difference was found in terms of CCT, ECD, AVG, CV, and HEX (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION We observed no significant change in CCT, corneal endothelial layer properties, and anterior segment morphology after the 1st session, and after the 20th session of HBOT. Although HBOT reduced IOP and ACD, it was not statistically significant. HBOT may lead to a significant decrease in SE values after the 20th session.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Alleviates Memory and Motor Impairments Following Traumatic Brain Injury via the Modulation of Mitochondrial-Dysfunction-Induced Neuronal Apoptosis in Rats. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:2034. [PMID: 38136154 PMCID: PMC10740762 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12122034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young adults, characterized by primary and secondary injury. Primary injury is the immediate mechanical damage, while secondary injury results from delayed neuronal death, often linked to mitochondrial damage accumulation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proposed as a potential treatment for modulating secondary post-traumatic neuronal death. However, the specific molecular mechanism by which HBOT modulates secondary brain damage through mitochondrial protection remains unclear. Spatial learning, reference memory, and motor performance were measured in rats before and after Controlled Cortical Impact (CCI) injury. The HBOT (2.5 ATA) was performed 4 h following the CCI and twice daily (12 h intervals) for four consecutive days. Mitochondrial functions were assessed via high-resolution respirometry on day 5 following CCI. Moreover, IHC was performed at the end of the experiment to evaluate cortical apoptosis, neuronal survival, and glial activation. The current result indicates that HBOT exhibits a multi-level neuroprotective effect. Thus, we found that HBOT prevents cortical neuronal loss, reduces the apoptosis marker (cleaved-Caspase3), and modulates glial cell proliferation. Furthermore, HBO treatment prevents the reduction in mitochondrial respiration, including non-phosphorylation state, oxidative phosphorylation, and electron transfer capacity. Additionally, a superior motor and spatial learning performance level was observed in the CCI group treated with HBO compared to the CCI group. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that HBOT during the critical period following the TBI improves cognitive and motor damage via regulating glial proliferation apoptosis and protecting mitochondrial function, consequently preventing cortex neuronal loss.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a therapeutical approach based on exposure to pure oxygen in an augmented atmospheric pressure. Although it has been used for years, the exact kinetics of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) between different pressures of hyperbaric oxygen exposure are still not clearly evidenced. In this study, the metabolic responses of hyperbaric hyperoxia exposures for 1 h at 1.4 and 2.5 ATA were investigated. Fourteen healthy non-smoking subjects (2 females and 12 males, age: 37.3 ± 12.7 years old (mean ± SD), height: 176.3 ± 9.9 cm, and weight: 75.8 ± 17.7 kg) volunteered for this study. Blood samples were taken before and at 30 min, 2 h, 24 h, and 48 h after a 1 h hyperbaric hyperoxic exposure. The level of oxidation was evaluated by the rate of ROS production, nitric oxide metabolites (NOx), and the levels of isoprostane. Antioxidant reactions were assessed through measuring superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), cysteinylglycine, and glutathione (GSH). The inflammatory response was measured using interleukine-6, neopterin, and creatinine. A short (60 min) period of mild (1.4 ATA) and high (2.5 ATA) hyperbaric hyperoxia leads to a similar significant increase in the production of ROS and antioxidant reactions. Immunomodulation and inflammatory responses, on the contrary, respond proportionally to the hyperbaric oxygen dose. Further research is warranted on the dose and the inter-dose recovery time to optimize the potential therapeutic benefits of this promising intervention.

Hyperbaric oxygenation improve red blood cell deformability in patients with acute or chronic inflammation. Microvasc Res 2023; 148:104534. [PMID: 37030528 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2023.104534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Red blood cells (RBC) are one of the key elements of the microcirculation. Their ability to pass through capillaries and to deliver oxygen to cells is due to their large degree of deformability linked to the characteristics of the RBC membrane. Alterations in RBC deformability as a result of membrane damage, linked in part to increased synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS), can be observed in several diseases, such as sepsis, and may contribute to the altered microcirculation observed in these pathologies. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), with inhalation of 100 % oxygen, has been proposed in several acute or chronic pathologies, including carbon monoxide poisoning. OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of HBOT on oxidative stress from ROS produced by myeloperoxidase (MPO) and on RBC deformability in patients with acute or chronic inflammation (n = 10), in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (n = 10), and in healthy volunteers (n = 10). METHODS RBC deformability was evaluated before and after HBOT in the various populations using the ektacytometry technique (Laser-assisted Optical Rotational Red Cell Analyzer - LORRCA). Deformability was determined by the elongation index (EI) in relation to the shear stress (SS) over a range of 0.3 to 50 Pa. Oxidative stress was estimated through changes in proteins (chlorotyrosine and homocitrulline) induced by MPO activity measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. RESULTS Before HBOT, EI was significantly lower in patients with acute or chronic inflammation than in healthy volunteers and patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning for the majority of SS values studied. After one session of HBOT, the EI was significantly higher than before HBOT for SS values of 1.93 Pa or higher in patients with acute or chronic inflammation. This effect remains constant after 10 sessions. There were no differences before and after HBOT in protein or amino acid oxidation due to ROS generation mediated by MPO in the three populations. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm altered RBC deformability in patients with acute and chronic conditions associated with an underlying inflammatory process. HBOT improves deformability only after one session and therefore may improve microcirculation in this population. According to our results, this improvement does not seem mediated by the ROS pathway via MPO. These results need to be confirmed in a larger population.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) has become the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the prevention of IS should be given high priority. Recent studies have indicated that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) may be a protective nonpharmacological method, but its underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. This study comprehensively reviewed the pathophysiology of IS and revealed the underlying mechanism of HBO-PC in protection against IS. The preventive effects of HBO-PC against IS may include inducing antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis capacity; activating autophagy and immune responses; upregulating heat shock proteins, hypoxia-inducible factor-1, and erythropoietin; and exerting protective effects upon the blood-brain barrier. In addition, HBO-PC may be considered a safe and effective method to prevent IS in combination with stem cell therapy. Although the benefits of HBO-PC on IS have been widely observed in recent research, the implementation of this technique is still controversial due to regimen differences. Transferring the results to clinical application needs to be taken carefully, and screening for the optimal regimen would be a daunting task. In addition, whether we should prescribe an individualized preconditioning regimen to each stroke patient needs further exploration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To investigate the safety and efficacy of normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) combined with endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). METHODS In this single-center, proof-of-concept, assessor-blinded, randomized, controlled pilot study, patients with AIS in the acute anterior circulation with large vessel occlusion who had an indication for EVT were randomly assigned to the EVT group or the NBO + EVT group. The NBO + EVT group was given 100% oxygen through a face mask initiated before vascular recanalization (10L/min for 4 hours), while the EVT group was given room air. The primary endpoint was infarct volume measured by MRI within 24-48 hours after randomization. RESULTS A total of 231 patients were screened, and 86 patients were randomized into a ratio of 1:1 (EVT group, n = 43; NBO + EVT group, n = 43). The median infarction volume of the NBO + EVT group at 24-48 hours after randomization was significantly smaller than that of the EVT group (median 20.1 vs 37.7 mL, p < 0.01). The median mRS score at 90 days was 2 for the NBO + EVT group when compared with 3 for the EVT group (adjusted value 1.8, 95% CI 1.3-4.2; p = 0.038). Compared with the EVT group, the NBO + EVT group had a lower incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhagic (7% vs 12%), mortality (9% vs 16%), and adverse events (33% vs 42%); however, such a difference was not statistically significant. DISCUSSION NBO in combination with EVT seems to be a safe and feasible treatment strategy that could significantly reduce infarct volume, improve short-term neurobehavioral test score, and enhance clinical outcomes at 90 days when compared with EVT alone in patients with AIS. These observations need to be further confirmed by a large, multicenter, randomized clinical trial. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NCT03620370. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This pilot study provides Class I evidence that NBO combined with standard EVT decreases infarction volume in patients with acute anterior circulation stroke.

The Prognostic Value of Derivatives-Reactive Oxygen Metabolites (d-ROMs) for Cardiovascular Disease Events and Mortality: A Review. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11081541. [PMID: 36009260 PMCID: PMC9405117 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11081541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress participates in the development and exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The ability to promptly quantify an imbalance in an individual reductive-oxidative (RedOx) state could improve cardiovascular risk assessment and management. Derivatives-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) are an emerging biomarker of oxidative stress quantifiable in minutes through standard biochemical analysers or by a bedside point-of-care test. The current review evaluates available data on the prognostic value of d-ROMs for CVD events and mortality in individuals with known and unknown CVD. Outcome studies involving small and large cohorts were analysed and hazard ratio, risk ratio, odds ratio, and mean differences were used as measures of effect. High d-ROM plasma levels were found to be an independent predictor of CVD events and mortality. Risk begins increasing at d-ROM levels higher than 340 UCARR and rises considerably above 400 UCARR. Conversely, low d-ROM plasma levels are a good negative predictor for CVD events in patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure. Moreover, combining d-ROMs with other relevant biomarkers routinely used in clinical practice might support a more precise cardiovascular risk assessment. We conclude that d-ROMs represent an emerging oxidative-stress-related biomarker with the potential for better risk stratification both in primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) on central macular thickness (CMT) and choroidal thickness (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 42 healthy eyes of 21 patients with ISSNHL (aged 24-61 years) who started HBOT within the first three days of the onset of hearing loss. Duration and severity of hearing loss were noted before starting HBOT. Central macular thickness (CMT), choroidal thickness (CT) 1500 µm nasal and temporal of the fovea, and subfoveal CT were measured by spectral domain optic coherence tomography before the first session of HBOT and after sessions 10 and 20. measurements obtained before and after HBOT were compared. RESULTS Eleven patients (52.4%) were men and 10 (47.6%) were women. The mean age was 44.67 ± 10.1 years. The mean duration of sudden hearing loss before HBOT was 2.05 ± 1 day. Hearing loss was mild in 5 patients, moderate in 5 patients, moderate to severe in 2 patients, severe in 4 patients and profound in 5 patients. Comparison of measurements obtained before HBOT and after 10 and 20 sessions of HBOT revealed no significant differences in CMT (219.17 ± 22.91, 220.33 ± 19.66, and 220.21 ± 19.3 µm), subfoveal CT (347.71 ± 66.82, 348.38 ± 74.55, and 345.45 ± 75.39 µm), nasal CT (328.64 ± 82.31, 316.02 ± 79.32, and 313.52 ± 89.92 µm), or temporal CT (321.76 ± 71.29, 317.05 ± 73.94, and 314.05 ± 74.61 µm, respectively) (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS HBOT for the treatment of ISSNHL had no significant effect on CMT or CT in healthy eyes.

Abstract
Background Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may benefit newborns. The effectiveness of HBOT for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and prognosis of HBOT in neonates with HIE. Methods A systematic search of eight databases was performed for available articles published between January 1, 2015, and September 30, 2020, to identify randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) on HBOT for neonatal HIE. Methodological quality assessment was performed by applying the simple procedure detailed by the Cochrane collaboration. Afterward, quality assessment and data analysis were performed using Revman 5.3 software. STATA 15 software was used to detect publication bias as well as for sensitivity analysis. Results A total of 46 clinical RCTs were selected for the study and included 4,199 patients with neonatal HIE. The results indicated that HBOT significantly improved the total efficiency (TEF) of treatment for neonatal HIE patients [odds ratio (OR) = 4.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) (3.70, 5.75), P < 0.00001] and reduced the risk of sequelae (OR = 0.23, 95% CI (0.16, 0.33), P < 0.00001) and the neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) scores [mean difference (MD) = 4.51, 95%CI (3.83,5.19, P < 0.00001)]. Conclusion In light of the effectiveness of HBOT neonatal HIE, this meta-analysis suggested that HBOT can be a potential therapy for the treatment of neonatal HIE. Due to the heterogeneity of studies protocol and patient selection being only from China, more research is needed before this therapy can be widely implemented in the clinic.

Clinical Observation of Subepidermal Vascular Network Flaps in Keloid Patients. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2022; 46:2015-2022. [PMID: 35149890 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-022-02783-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many different keloid treatment modalities. One surgical technique is to keep the "shell" of the keloid to cover the defect. We named this "shell" keloid subepidermal vascular network flap (KSVNF), and we outlined the characteristics of this flap by observing 35 flaps in keloid patients. METHODS A total of 35 KSVNFs were designed in 15 patients during 2020-2021. All patients underwent the operation and adjuvant radiotherapy as well as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. All flap lengths and widths were recorded, and the blood perfusion of the flaps was measured on the first day postoperation and the day of stitch removal. Flap survival and the quality of flaps were evaluated on the day of stitch removal. All harvested data were analyzed using the R (version 4.0.1) package. RESULTS The mean blood perfusion on the first day postoperation (pod1) and the day of stitch removal was 120.4013 and 168.6900, respectively (p = 0.02249); 2 flaps had partial necrosis (5.714%). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that when the length/width ratio was less than 1.05, the quality of the flap was good (AUC = 0.724), which suggests that the effective safe length/width ratio was 1.05. CONCLUSION KSVNF is an applicable method for covering the remaining wound after keloid mass removal with sufficient blood perfusion and adequate skin quality. We recommend that the length/width ratio of the flap design not exceed 1.

Abstract
Ocular diseases associated with retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration is the most common neurodegenerative disorder that causes irreversible blindness worldwide. It is characterized by visual field defects and progressive optic nerve atrophy. The underlying pathophysiology and mechanisms of RGC degeneration in several ocular diseases remain largely unknown. RGCs are a population of central nervous system neurons, with their soma located in the retina and long axons that extend through the optic nerve to form distal terminals and connections in the brain. Because of this unique cytoarchitecture and highly compartmentalized energy demand, RGCs are highly mitochondrial-dependent for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Recently, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have been found to be the principal mechanisms in RGC degeneration as well as in other neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we review the role of oxidative stress in several ocular diseases associated with RGC degenerations, including glaucoma, hereditary optic atrophy, inflammatory optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, traumatic optic neuropathy, and drug toxicity. We also review experimental approaches using cell and animal models for research on the underlying mechanisms of RGC degeneration. Lastly, we discuss the application of antioxidants as a potential future therapy for the ocular diseases associated with RGC degenerations.

The Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygenation on Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Angiogenesis. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11081210. [PMID: 34439876 PMCID: PMC8394403 DOI: 10.3390/biom11081210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is commonly used as treatment in several diseases, such as non-healing chronic wounds, late radiation injuries and carbon monoxide poisoning. Ongoing research into HBOT has shown that preconditioning for surgery is a potential new treatment application, which may reduce complication rates and hospital stay. In this review, the effect of HBOT on oxidative stress, inflammation and angiogenesis is investigated to better understand the potential mechanisms underlying preconditioning for surgery using HBOT. A systematic search was conducted to retrieve studies measuring markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, or angiogenesis in humans. Analysis of the included studies showed that HBOT-induced oxidative stress reduces the concentrations of pro-inflammatory acute phase proteins, interleukins and cytokines and increases growth factors and other pro-angiogenesis cytokines. Several articles only noted this surge after the first HBOT session or for a short duration after each session. The anti-inflammatory status following HBOT may be mediated by hyperoxia interfering with NF-κB and IκBα. Further research into the effect of HBOT on inflammation and angiogenesis is needed to determine the implications of these findings for clinical practice.

Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Central Corneal Thickness, Intraocular Pressure, and Nerve Fiber Layer in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study. KOREAN JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY 2021; 35:1-9. [PMID: 33307631 PMCID: PMC7904419 DOI: 10.3341/kjo.2020.0076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on central corneal thickness (CCT), intraocular pressure (IOP), and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS This prospective non-randomized cohort study consisted of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who received 30 sessions of HBOT for diabetic foot ulcer. The CCT, IOP, and RNFL measured at baseline, after the 10th session of HBOT, after the 20th session of HBOT, after the 30th session of HBOT, and after the 3 months of the last session of HBOT. We gained the superior-nasal, superior-temporal, inferior-nasal, inferior-temporal, nasal and temporal quadrant RNFL values with a spectral-domain optical coharence tomography. RESULTS Forty-six eyes of 46 patients included in the study. During the study period, a statistically significant increase in mean IOP values compared to baseline was observed (p < 0.001). We found no significant changes at CCT and all quadrants of RNFL values during HBOT and after 3 months of the treatment (p > 0.05). During the study period, the IOP levels increased over 21 mmHg (between 22 and 28 mmHg) in seven eyes (15.2%). The mean hemoglobin A1c values of these patients with IOP >21 mmHg were 8.2 ± 0.9 mg/dL, and there was significant differences compared with those of patients with IOP values ≤21 mmHg (7.4 ± 2.8 mg/dL) (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS HBOT increase IOP in type 2 diabetic patients especially in ones with impaired blood glucose regulation. However, it does not cause any changes in CCT and RNFL. As diabetic retinopathy and diabetic foot ulcer are in common pathologies, thus this brief report concludes a need for further studies with longer follow-up periods to explore the potential interaction of HBOT on CCT, IOP, and RNFL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the results of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in addition to assisted reproductive technologies in male infertility cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medical records of male infertility patients who had HBOT sessions for any reason between January 1, 2015-December 31, 2019, were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 15 male patients were included. Patients were classified as group 1 [DNA fragmentation (n=5)], group 2 [globozoospermia (n=5)], and group 3 [azoospermia (n=5)]. Round spermatid injection (ROSI), intrauterine insemination (IUI), or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures were performed in 10 of the 15 patients. A total of 31 embryos were obtained out of which 19 (61%) were transferred. While a total of 15 embryos were obtained in the globozoospermic group, which was the highest number, 10 were obtained from the azoospermic patients, and 6 from the DNA fragmentation patients (p=0.515). A total of 3 (30%) healthy pregnancies were obtained, overall. The mean sperm count of the patients (n=9) before HBOT was 8.4±11.1 mil/mL, while it was found to be 15.7±15.0 mil/mL after HBOT (azoospermic patients were not included). The TESE results were analyzed for azoospermic patients; positive changes were observed in 4 patients (80%). On the other hand, there was an improvement in 50% of group 1 according to sperm DNA fragmentation after HBOT (p=0.500). CONCLUSION While a total of 15 embryos were obtained in the globozoospermic group, which was the highest number, 10 were obtained from the azoospermic patients.. Further studies should be conducted on HBOT and male infertility.

Abstract
In hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), the subject is placed in a chamber containing 100% oxygen gas at a pressure of more than one atmosphere absolute. This treatment is used to hasten tissue recovery and improve its physiological aspects, by providing an increased supply of oxygen to the damaged tissue. In this review, we discuss the consequences of hypoxia, as well as the molecular and physiological processes that occur in subjects exposed to HBOT. We discuss the efficacy of HBOT in treating neurological conditions and neurodevelopmental disorders in both humans and animal models. We summarize by discussing the challenges in this field, and explore future directions that will allow the scientific community to better understand the molecular aspects and applications of HBOT for a wide variety of neurological conditions.

Abstract
Roles of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the local regulation of blood flow under physiological conditions are important and well known, while data on their effects and interactions in conditions of hyperbaric hyperoxia is still insufficient. This was a prospective observational study which included patients who underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in accordance with existing therapeutic protocol for peripherial arterial disease (PAD) during time period of six months, between january and july of 2016. Clinical stage of PAD according to Fontain was taken into account, as well as risk factors, demographic, anthropometric and clinical characteristics of studied patients. The study included 64 patients with a mean age (±Sd) 60.2±12.7 years, of whom 28 were female. Patients' NO serum levels in all observed categories before and after HBOT were not signifficantly different, except for stage II PAD (NObefore HBOT 21.9±9.6 vs. NOafter HBOT 26.2±12.1 (p = 0.04)). On the contrary, in all studied patients ET-1 level increased signifficantly after HBOT (ET-1before HBOT 4.2±11.6 vs. ET-1after 18.3±21.0 (p < 0.001)). Treatment of PAD using HBOT leads to the predominance of vasoconstrictor effects probably caused by elevation of serum ET-1 concentrations, while other factors such as exposure time to hyperbaric conditions, activation of antioxidant molecules, and the influx of other interfering substances must be considered in interpreting the effects of NO molecules.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for most organisms. However, excessive Cu can be highly toxic. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanism underlying Cu toxicity in the kidneys of rats after treatment with CuCl2 (15 [control], 30, 60, or 120 mg/kg in the diet) for 180 days. Histological and ultrastructural changes, antioxidant enzyme activity, and the mRNA and protein levels of apoptosis and autophagy-related genes were measured. The results showed that Cu exposure led to significant accumulation of copper in kidneys and disorganized kidney morphology. The activities of total anti-oxidation capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the kidneys decreased significantly, while the malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased. Furthermore, excessive Cu markedly upregulated the expression of autophagy and apoptosis-related genes (LC3A, LC3B, ATG-5, Beclin-1, Caspase3, CytC, P53, Bax), but downregulated the expression of P62, mTOR and BCL-2. Moreover, the LC3B/LC3A, ATG-5, Beclin-1, P53, Caspase3 proteins were up-regulated while P62 was down-regulated in the kidney tissues of the treatment groups. Overall, these findings provide strong evidence that excess Cu can trigger autophagy and apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway by inducing oxidative stress in rat kidneys.

Abstract
Environmental agents, including socioeconomic condition, and host factors can act as causal agents and risk factors in disease. We use biomarkers and sociomarkers to study causal factors, such as overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which could play a role in disease through oxidative stress. It is therefore important to define the exact meaning of the biomarker we measure. In this review we attempt a classification of biomarkers related to oxidative stress based on their biological meaning. We define as type zero biomarkers the direct measurement of ROS in vivo in patients. Type 1 biomarkers are the most frequently used indicators of oxidative stress, represented by oxidized lipids, proteins or nucleic acids and their bases. Type 2 biomarkers are indicators of the activation of biochemical pathways that can lead to the formation of ROS. Type 3 biomarkers are host factors such as small-molecular weight antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes, while type 4 biomarkers measure genetic factors and mutations that could modify the susceptibility of an individual to oxidative stress. We also discuss whether biomarkers are actionable or not, that is if the specific blockade of these molecules can ameliorate disease or if they are just surrogate markers. The proposed classification of biomarkers of oxidative stress based on their meaning and ambiguities, within the theoretical framework of the oxidative stress theory of disease may help identify those diseases, and individuals, where oxidative stress has a causal role, to allow targeted therapy and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Introduction: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% oxygen in a specialized compression chamber leading to hyperoxia. This treatment modality is associated with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and healing properties in people and laboratory animals. However, there are relatively few reports that evaluate the effects of HBOT in companion animals. The goal of this study was to investigate the physiological effects of HBOT on surgically induced systemic inflammation and oxidation in dogs. Material and Methods: Twelve healthy female beagle dogs were spayed and randomized into control and HBOT groups (n = 6). Both groups received conventional post-ovariohysterectomy therapy, and the HBOT group received two hyperbaric treatments at 2.0 atmosphere of absolute pressure and 100% oxygen for 35 min, 6 and 18 h after surgery. Blood samples were collected 3 h prior to ovariohysterectomy, 6, 18, and 30 h after surgery, prior to HBOT when applicable. Inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein, circulating cytokines, and changes in iron homeostasis were evaluated at each time point to determine the effects of surgery and HBOT on inflammation. Similarly, serum total oxidant status and total antioxidant status were measured to assess the oxidative stress. Pain and incision scores were recorded and compared between groups. Results: Following ovariohysterectomy, all dogs had significantly increased serum concentrations of C-reactive protein, KC-like, IL-6, and increased unsaturated iron-binding capacity compared to their pre-surgical values (p < 0.02), while serum iron, total iron-binding capacity and transferrin saturation were significantly decreased after surgery (p < 0.02). There was no significant difference between the control group and the HBOT group for any of the variables. There were no overt adverse effects in the HBOT group. Conclusion: This is the first prospective randomized controlled study to investigate the effects of HBOT on surgically induced systemic inflammation in dogs. While elective ovariohysterectomy resulted in mild inflammation, the described HBOT protocol portrayed no outward adverse effect and did not induce any detectable pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, or antioxidant effects. Additional investigation is required to identify objective markers to quantify the response to HBOT and determine its role as an adjunctive therapy in dogs with more severe, complicated or chronic diseases.

Abstract
Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate oxidative stress and antioxidant parameter levels in patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Methods: The study was conducted prospectively between March 1, 2015 and April 30, 2016 in the pediatric emergency department. Eligible patients included children aged 0–18 years old with a diagnosis of CO poisoning. To determination of oxidative stress and antioxidant parameter levels, venous blood with heparinized and urine samples were drawn during the admission and after normobaric oxygen (NBO) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment. Results: Forty-seven children with CO poisoning for study group and 29 patients as control group were included to the study. Sixteen patients treated with HBO. Basal plasma malondialdehyde levels were found to be significantly higher in the CO poisoning group when compared with the control group ( p = 0.019). There is no significant difference in oxidative stress and antioxidant parameter levels except erythrocyte catalase enzyme levels in patients treated with NBO when comparing before and after NBO treatment ( p > 0.05). Decreasing of basal erythrocyte catalase enzyme levels were found statistically significant after NBO treatment ( p = 0.04). There was no significant difference in oxidative stress and antioxidant parameter levels in patients treated with HBO before and after therapy ( p > 0.05). Conclusions: CO poisoning is associated with increased lipid peroxidation in children immediately after the poisoning. However, both treatment modalities including NBO or HBO do not have a significant effect on oxidative stress or antioxidant parameter levels.

Abstract
Background: The optimal use of oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressures in any operational or therapeutic application (hyperbaric oxygen, HBO2) requires awareness of the fact that the beneficial effects of oxygen coexist with toxic effects depending on the pressure and duration of exposure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of HBO2 therapy on oxidative stress and antioxidant status in commonly used protocol for acute HBO2 indications, such as carbon monoxide intoxication, central retinal artery occlusion, crush injury, gas gangrene, and to compare it with normobaric oxygen (NBO2) in healthy rats. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six male, young adult Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into seven groups and named as Group I through Group VII. Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and erythrocyte glutathione (GSH) levels in control group were compared to the levels in other groups. Results: The increases in MDA levels and the decrease in SOD activities were statistically significant in HBO2 groups at the end of the first 24 h when compared to the control group, and the significant decrease in erythrocyte GSH level was only at 2.4 atmospheres absolute. Conclusions: The present study showed that pressure and frequency of exposure are important factors to consider when investigating HBO2-induced oxidative stress and antioxidant response.

Abstract
The concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARSs) in plasma and erythrocytes, the activity of selected antioxidant enzymes in erythrocytes: catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and the levels of hemoglobin (HGB) and haematocrit (HCT) were determined in 40 patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) subjected to 14 treatment sessions in a Haux Starmed 2200 hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy involved breathing 100% oxygen at 0.25 MPa. Blood for analysis was collected from the basilic vein at three time points: before the first HBO session, approximately 5 min after the first session, and after the 14th session. The control group included 20 healthy individuals never before treated with HBO therapy. Compared to the pre-HBO values, a 10% increase (P < 0.05) in the TBARS concentration in erythrocytes, a 28% increase in the GPx activity (P < 0.05), and a 7% decrease in the SOD activity (P < 0.05) were observed after 14 HBO sessions. The CAT activity decreased by 6% (P < 0.05) after the first session. The TBARS concentration in plasma was 13% higher (P < 0.01), while that in erythrocytes was 24% lower (P < 0.001) in the SSNHL patients before the first HBO session compared to the control group. The CAT activity in the SSNHL patients before HBO therapy was 26% higher (P < 0.001) than that in the control group. A statistically significant reduction in HGB and HCT after 14 HBO sessions (P < 0.01) compared to the pre-HBO values was demonstrated. SSNHL is accompanied by disturbance in the oxidant-antioxidant equilibrium. Repeated stimulation with hyperbaric oxygen modulates the activity of antioxidant enzymes. It seems that the increased generation of hydrogen peroxide is responsible for the changes in the activity of antioxidant barrier enzymes observed after HBO sessions.

Abstract
There is a large body of evidence showing a strong correlation between carcinogenesis of several types of human tumors, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and oxidative stress (OS). The mechanisms by which OS may promote cancer pathogenesis have not been completely deciphered yet and, in CLL, as in other neoplasms, whether OS is a primary cause or simply a downstream effect of the disease is still an open question. It has been demonstrated that, in CLL, OS concomitantly results from increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mainly ascribable to CLL cells mitochondrial activity, and impaired antioxidant defenses. Interestingly, OS evaluation in CLL patients, at diagnosis, seems to have a prognostic significance, thus getting new insights in the biological comprehension of the disease with potential therapeutic implications.

Acute Hyperbaric Oxygenation, Contrary to Intermittent Hyperbaric Oxygenation, Adversely Affects Vasorelaxation in Healthy Sprague-Dawley Rats due to Increased Oxidative Stress. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2018; 2018:7406027. [PMID: 29854092 PMCID: PMC5949176 DOI: 10.1155/2018/7406027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2017] [Revised: 10/27/2017] [Accepted: 02/15/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The present study was aimed at assessing endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, at measuring superoxide production in the aorta and femoral artery, and at determining antioxidative enzyme expression and activity in aortas of male Sprague-Dawley rats (N = 135), randomized to an A-HBO2 group exposed to a single hyperbaric oxygenation session (120′ of 100% O2 at 2.0 bars), a 24H-HBO2 group (single session, examined 24 h after exposure), a 4D-HBO2 group (4 consecutive days of single sessions), and a CTRL group (untreated group). Vasorelaxation of aortic rings in response to acetylcholine (AChIR) and to reduced pO2 (HIR) was tested in vitro in the absence/presence of NOS inhibitor L-NAME and superoxide scavenger TEMPOL. eNOS, iNOS, antioxidative enzyme, and NADPH oxidase mRNA expression was assessed by qPCR. Serum oxidative stress markers and enzyme activity were assessed by spectrometry, and superoxide production was determined by DHE fluorescence. Impaired AChIR and HIR in the A-HBO2 group were restored by TEMPOL. L-NAME inhibited AChIR in all groups. Serum oxidative stress and superoxide production were increased in the A-HBO2 group compared to all other groups. The mRNA expression of iNOS was decreased in the A-HBO2 and 24H-HBO2 groups while SOD1 and 3 and NADPH oxidase were increased in the 4D-HBO2 group. The expression and activity of catalase and glutathione peroxidase were increased in the 4D-HBO2 group as well. AChIR was NO dependent. Acute HBO2 transiently impaired vasorelaxation due to increased oxidative stress. Vasorelaxation was restored and oxidative stress was normalized 24 h after the treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
The activity of selected antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocytes, and the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in blood plasma and erythrocytes, were determined in people subjected to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy due to sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Venous blood samples were taken immediately before entering the hyperbaric chamber and 5 min after leaving it. In the study group, two age subgroups were distinguished: group I consisting of subjects under 35 and group II consisting of subjects over 50. The obtained values were analysed statistically using Student’s t-test. Differences were considered as statistically significant at p < 0.05. A statistically significant decrease in the CAT activity was shown 5 min after leaving the hyperbaric chamber in pooled subjects (p < 0.01) and group I (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a statistically significant decrease in the erythrocyte TBARS concentration was observed in group II (p < 0.05). It was demonstrated that a single exposure to hyperbaric oxygen affects the oxidant-antioxidant equilibrium as evidenced by, e.g., a statistically significant decrease in the activity of catalase in erythrocytes. It is possible that the antioxidant response to HBO depends on the age of subjects.

Unloading-induced atrophy and decreased oxidative capacity of the soleus muscle in rats are reversed by pre- and postconditioning with mild hyperbaric oxygen. Physiol Rep 2018; 5:5/14/e13353.

Abstract
Our aim was to determine the effects of pre- and/or postconditioning with mild hyperbaric oxygen (1.25 atmospheric pressure, 36% oxygen for 3 h/day) on the properties of the soleus muscle that was atrophied by hindlimb suspension-induced unloading. Twelve groups of 8-week-old rats were housed under normobaric conditions (1 atmospheric pressure, 20.9% oxygen) or exposed to mild hyperbaric oxygen for 2 weeks. Ten groups then were housed under normobaric conditions for 2 weeks with their hindlimbs either unloaded via suspension or not unloaded. Six groups subsequently were either housed under normobaric conditions or exposed to mild hyperbaric oxygen for 2 weeks: the suspended groups were allowed to recover under reloaded conditions (unrestricted normal cage activity). Muscle weights, cross-sectional areas of all fiber types, oxidative capacity (muscle succinate dehydrogenase activity and fiber succinate dehydrogenase staining intensity) decreased, and a shift of fibers from type I to type IIA and type IIC was observed after hindlimb unloading. In addition, mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α decreased, whereas those of forkhead box-containing protein O1 increased after hindlimb unloading. Muscle atrophy and decreased oxidative capacity were unaffected by either pre- or postconditioning with mild hyperbaric oxygen. In contrast, these changes were followed by a return to nearly normal levels after 2 weeks of reloading when pre- and postconditioning were combined. Therefore, a combination of pre- and postconditioning with mild hyperbaric oxygen can be effective against the atrophy and decreased oxidative capacity of skeletal muscles associated with hindlimb unloading.

Abstract
This review examines the role of oxidative stress in damage to cells of the trabecular meshwork and associated impaired aqueous drainage as well as damage to retinal ganglion cells and associated visual field losses. Consideration is given to the interaction between vascular and mechanical explanations for pathological changes in glaucoma. For example, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) forces may contribute to ischaemia but there is increasing evidence that altered blood flow in a wider sense is also involved. Both vascular and mechanical theories are involved through fluctuations in intraocular pressure and dysregulation of blood flow. Retinal function is very sensitive to changes in haemoglobin oxygen concentration and the associated variations in the production of reactive oxygen species. Reperfusion injury and production of reactive oxygen species occurs when IOP is elevated or blood pressure is low and beyond the capacity for blood flow autoregulation to maintain appropriate oxygen concentration. Activities such as those associated with postural changes, muscular effort, eye wiping and rubbing which cause IOP fluctuation, may have significant vascular, mechanical, reperfusion and oxidative stress consequences. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy exposes the eye to increased oxygen concentration and the risk of oxidative damage in susceptible individuals. However, oxygen concentration in aqueous humour, and the risk of damage to trabecular meshwork cells may be greater if hyperbaric oxygen is delivered by a hood which exposes the anterior ocular surface to higher than normal oxygen levels. Oronasal mask delivery of hyperbaric oxygen therapy appears to be indicated in these cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic significance of oxidative stress (OS) and antioxidant defence status measurement in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). METHODS d-ROMs test and BAP test were evaluated at diagnosis of 165 patients with CLL and correlated with clinical-biological features and prognosis. RESULTS An increased oxidative damage (d-ROMs test) and a reduced antioxidant potential (BAP test) were found in CLL patients than normal controls (P<.0001). CLL patients with higher d-ROMs values had higher number of circulating white blood cells and lymphocytes, and higher values of β2 -microglobulin. Higher d-ROMs values were found in female (P=.0003), in patients with unmutated IgVH (P=.04), unfavourable cytogenetics (P=.002) and more advanced clinical stage (P=.002). Higher BAP test values were found in patients expressing CD49d (P=.01) and with more advanced clinical stage (P=.004). At a median follow-up of 48 months, CLL patients with d-ROMs ≥418 CARR U were found to have a shorter time to first treatment (TFT) (P=.0002), and a reduced survival (P=.006) than others. CLL patients with BAP test values ≥2155 μmol/L had a shorter TFT (P=.008) and a shorter survival (P=.003). CONCLUSIONS OS can affect CLL patients by concomitantly increasing reactive oxygen metabolites production and decreasing antioxidant defences.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish reference intervals for serum reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs), biological antioxidant potential (BAP), and oxidative stress index (OSi) in adult rams by use of controlled preanalytic and analytic procedures. ANIMALS 123 healthy 1- to 4-year-old rams of 2 Greek breeds (Chios [n = 62] and Florina [61]). PROCEDURES 4 hours after rams were fed, a blood sample was obtained from each ram, and serum was harvested. Concentrations of ROMs and BAP were measured colorimetrically on a spectrophotometric analyzer. The OSi was calculated as ROMs concentration divided by BAP concentration. Combined and breed-specific reference intervals were calculated by use of nonparametric and robust methods, respectively. Reference intervals were defined as the 2.5th to 97.5th percentiles. RESULTS Reference intervals for ROMs, BAP, and OSi for all rams combined were 65 to 109 Carratelli units, 2,364 to 4,491 μmol/L, and 18.2 to 43.0 Carratelli units/(mmol/L), respectively. Reference intervals of Chios rams for ROMs, BAP, and OSi were 56 to 113 Carratelli units, 2,234 to 4,290 μmol/L, and 12.9 to 38.4 Carratelli units/(mmol/L), respectively. Reference intervals of Florina rams for ROMs, BAP, and OSi were 68 to 111 Carratelli units, 2,337 to 4,363 μmol/L, and 14.1 to 38.1 Carratelli units/(mmol/L), respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Reference intervals calculated in this study can be used as a guide for the interpretation of ROMs, BAP, and OSi results in rams and, under appropriate conditions, can be adopted for use by veterinary laboratories.

Abstract
Inhalation of 100% oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber has been accepted as a useful treatment for patients with various pathologies who suffer from hypoxia. The oxidative effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on RBCs have been investigated in animals but there is not enough data on hemorheological parameters in patients following HBO treatment (HBOT).In this study, we investigated the effect of HBO on hemorheological and haematological parameters during treatment. Red blood cell (RBC) deformability and aggregation, blood and plasma viscosity and superoxide dismutase activity were investigated in patients who underwent HBOT. Hematological parameters were determined by an electronic hematology analyzer. A Laser-assisted Optical Rotational Cell Analyzer (LORCA) was used to measure RBC deformability. RBC aggregation was measured for cells in autologous plasma and for cells resuspended in PBS containing Dextran70 (3% ) by using a Myrenne Aggregometer. A Wells-Brookfield cone/plate rotational viscometer was used for viscosity measurements. According to our results, a significant decrement of the hematocrit and the RBC count was observed after the 20th session of HBOT compared to the baseline, but none of the hemorheological parameters changed significantly. Our results showed that HBOT did not cause any significant changes in hemorheological parameters, thereby not representing any problems for the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mRNA expression of T helper (Th)1, Th2, and Th17 cell-associated inflammatory mediators in cells of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples collected from healthy horses exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and to monitor blood oxygen concentration during and following HBO therapy. ANIMALS 8 healthy horses. PROCEDURES In a randomized controlled crossover design study, each horse was exposed (beginning day 1) to 100% oxygen at a maximum of 3 atmospheres absolute (304 kPa) daily for 10 days or ambient air at atmospheric pressure in the HBO chamber for an equivalent amount of time (control). Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples were collected on days 0 and 10. After validation of candidate reference genes, relative mRNA expressions of various innate inflammatory, Th1 cell-derived, Th2 cell-derived (including eotaxin-2), Th17 cell-derived, and regulatory cytokines were measured by quantitative PCR assays. For 3 horses, arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis during a separate HBO session. RESULTS The optimal combination of reference genes was glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hypoxanthine ribosyltransferase, and ribosomal protein L32. Compared with day 0 findings, expression of eotaxin-2 mRNA was significantly lower (0.12-fold reduction) and the percentage of neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples was significantly lower on day 10 when horses received HBO therapy. Values of Pao2 rapidly increased (> 800 mm Hg) but immediately decreased to pretreatment values when HBO sessions ended. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that HBO therapy does not increase mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines, but reduces eotaxin-2 mRNA transcription. The Pao2 increase was transient with no cumulative effects of HBO.

Abstract
The timing and mechanisms of protection by hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in
hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) have only been partially elucidated. We
monitored the effect of HBO on the mitochondrial function of neuronal cells in the
cerebral cortex of neonatal rats after HIBD. Neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats (total of
360 of both genders) were randomly divided into normal control, HIBD, and HIBD+HBO
groups. The HBO treatment began immediately after hypoxia-ischemia (HI) and continued
once a day for 7 consecutive days. Animals were euthanized 0, 2, 4, 6, and 12 h
post-HI to monitor the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) occurring
soon after a single dose of HBO treatment, as well as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days
post-HI to study ΔΨm changes after a series of HBO treatments. Fluctuations in ΔΨm
were observed in the ipsilateral cortex in both HIBD and HIBD+HBO groups. Within 2 to
12 h after HI insult, the ΔΨm of the HIBD and HIBD+HBO groups recovered to some
extent. A secondary drop in ΔΨm was observed in both groups during the 1-4 days
post-HI period, but was more severe in the HIBD+HBO group. There was a secondary
recovery of ΔΨm observed in the HIBD+HBO group, but not in the HIBD group, during the
5-7 days period after HI insult. HBO therapy may not lead to improvement of neural
cell mitochondrial function in the cerebral cortex in the early stage post-HI, but
may improve it in the sub-acute stage post-HI.

Abstract
Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide and clinically there is no effective therapy for neuroprotection. Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) has been experimentally demonstrated to be neuroprotective in several models and has shown efficiency in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Compared with other preconditioning stimuli, HBO is benign and has clinically translational potential. In this review, we will summarize the results in experimental brain injury and clinical studies, elaborate the mechanisms of HBO-PC, and discuss regimes and opinions for future interventions in acute brain injury.

Abstract
Prior research has suggested that treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) may change energy metabolism in the peripheral nerve, potentially resulting in improved tolerance to hyperglycemia and anoxia. In this paper, the in vitro rat sciatic nerve model was used to explore the effects of a single 90 min treatment with either 1 or 3 atmospheres of: oxygen, nitrogen or air on the ability of the peripheral nerve to tolerate intermittent anoxia or hyperglycemia. After this treatment, the nerve was placed in a perfusion system where the nerve action potential (NAP) was continuously recorded over the duration of a 16 h experiment. The amplitude, paired pulse response, velocity and duration of the NAP were used as markers of peripheral nerve function. The perfusate contained either 5 mmol/L or 55 mmol/L glucose and was either continuously oxygenated or intermittently replaced by an oxygen free solution of identical composition. HBO treatment primarily affected the amplitude and duration of the NAP. HBO improved the NAP in continuously oxygenated nerves exposed to the 55 mmol/L glucose perfusate but not the 5 mmol/L. However, it worsened the NAP in nerves exposed to intermittent anoxia and increased the rate at which the amplitude of the NAP declined during anoxia. Pressure had an effect on the NAP only for oxygen but not nitrogen or air. The effect of the HBO treatment persisted more than 1 h after the end of the treatment.

Abstract
A major challenge in conservation physiology is to find out biomarkers that reliably reflect individual variation in wear and tear. Recent work has suggested that biomarkers of oxidative stress may provide an additional tool to assess the health state of individuals and to predict fitness perspectives. In this study, we assessed whether three biomarkers of plasma oxidative status predicted the following factors: (i) the resight probability as breeder in the next seasons; and (ii) the cumulative reproductive output over multiple years in Scopoli's shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea) using a 7 year individual-based data set. Our results show that shearwaters having higher levels of a marker of oxidative damage (reactive oxygen metabolites) in 2008 had a lower resight probability in the next years and a lower number of chicks raised from 2008 to 2014. In contrast, two biomarkers of antioxidant defences (non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity of plasma and thiols) did not have any predictive value. Increased concentrations of plasma reactive oxygen metabolites, together with the significant individual repeatability over time in this metric of oxidative stress found in numerous studies, suggest that this metric might serve as a blood-derived biomarker for health and fitness perspectives in birds and, possibly, also in other taxa.

Abstract
The exact mechanisms by which treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT) exerts its beneficial effects on recovery after brain injury are still unrevealed. Therefore, in this study we investigated the influence of repetitive HBOT on the reactive astrogliosis and expression of mediators of inflammation after cortical stab injury (CSI). CSI was performed on male Wistar rats, divided into control, sham, and lesioned groups with appropriate HBO. The HBOT protocol was as follows: 10 minutes of slow compression, 2.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) for 60 minutes, and 10 minutes of slow decompression, once a day for 10 consecutive days. Data obtained using real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence analyses revealed that repetitive HBOT applied after the CSI attenuates reactive astrogliosis and glial scarring, and reduces expression of GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), vimentin, and ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule-1) both at gene and tissue levels. In addition, HBOT prevents expression of CD40 and its ligand CD40L on microglia, neutrophils, cortical neurons, and reactive astrocytes. Accordingly, repetitive HBOT, by prevention of glial scarring and limiting of expression of inflammatory mediators, supports formation of more permissive environment for repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Recently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy with a lower pressure and oxygen concentration (L-HBOT) than previous methods has been used for dogs in Japan; however, the influences of L-HBOT on dogs have not been clarified. To verify the influences of L-HBOT on physiological mechanism in dogs, we investigated blood gas parameters, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, heart rate variability, stress-related hormones and skin conductance (SC) in 4 clinically normal beagle dogs with catheters in their carotid arteries and jugular veins when they were quiet, after running, after receiving L-HBOT (30% oxygen concentration, 1.3 atmospheres absolute, 30 min) or after not receiving L-HBOT. The results showed there were no changes in blood gas parameters, heart rate variability and catecholamine levels after L-HBOT. GPx activity was significantly higher, and the SC and cortisol level were lower in dogs that received L-HBOT than those when they were quiet. These results suggested that L-HBOT may have a small influence on oxygenation dynamics, activate antioxidant enzymes such as GPx, restrain autonomic nervous activity and control the balance between oxidation and antioxidation inside the body.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases oxygen pressure and the concentration of reactive oxygen species in blood and tissues. Increased oxygen pressure may be beneficial in some diseases, such as in the treatment of diabetic leg ulcers and diabetic retinopathy; however, due to their cytotoxic properties, an excess of reactive oxygen species in tissues and/or deficiencies in antioxidant activity, may contribute to complications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, such as cataract. This review examines the possibility that increased tissue concentrations of reactive oxygen species may also exacerbate other ocular diseases. For example, reactive oxygen species and deficiencies in antioxidant activities contribute to the pathogenetic processes in keratoconus. Such impact may be exacerbated by exposure to additional reactive oxygen species during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The senescent eye may be particularly prone to oxidative damage as exemplified by conditions such as macular degeneration and cataract. Because of its high consumption of oxygen, the retina is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress, which plays a major role in retinopathy. For example, under normal conditions age-related macular degeneration involves oxidative stress and death of the retinal pigment epithelial cells. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may exacerbate these processes. In addition to cataract, age-related macular degeneration and keratoconus, there may be other ocular diseases for which exposure to hyperbaric oxygen therapy-related oxidative stress may be significantly adverse. In all such cases, careful pre-examination and evaluation of the potential risk and benefit from this form of therapy appears to be warranted. Unless it could interfere with the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, antioxidant dietary supplementation may be indicated in conjunction with any hyperbaric oxygen therapy, when there are co-existing diseases for which oxidative stress could have significantly adverse side effects. Delivery of hyperbaric oxygen therapy may need to be modified or it may even be contraindicated in these cases.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Previous studies have indicated that hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) can induce neuroprotection against focal cerebral ischemia. However, the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood, and the optimal regimen for preconditioning must be confirmed. In the present study, we designed eight preconditioning regimens and compared their neuroprotective effects. Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning every other day for there sessions exhibited the best neuroprotective effect; the infarct volume was reduced by almost 50% at 48 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion. We also found that HBO-PC significantly increased the microvessel density and the CD31-positive cells in the penumbra at 72 h after stroke. These results indicate that angiogenesis is involved in the neuroprotection induced by HBO-PC. Moreover, we explored the roles of HIF-1α and angiogenic factors in the angiogenesis process induced by HBO-PC. The results from western blotting demonstrated that protein expression of Ang-2 in the HBO-PC group was significantly increased. In conclusion, HBO-PC reduced brain injury and improved neurological function after focal cerebral ischemia, as partly mediated by the increased microvessel density in the penumbra, and this effect may result from the upregulation of Ang-2.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is thought to be due to the downregulation of free radical production, although the details of this process remain unclear. Here, we investigate changes in oxidative stress and endogenous biological antioxidant potential during TH in patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). Nineteen PCAS patients were enrolled in the study. Brain temperature was decreased to the target temperature of 33°C, and it was maintained for 24 h. Patients were rewarmed slowly (0.1°C/h, <1°C/day). The generation of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) was evaluated in plasma samples by d-ROM test. Plasma antioxidant capacity was measured by the biological antioxidant potential (BAP) test. Levels of d-ROMs and BAP levels during the hypothermic stage (33°C) were suppressed significantly compared with pre-TH induction levels (P < 0.05), while both d-ROM and BAP levels increased with rewarming (33-36°C) and were correlated with brain temperature. Clinical monitoring of oxidative stress and antioxidant potential is useful for evaluating the redox state of patients undergoing TH after PCAS. Additional therapy to support the antioxidant potential in the rewarming stage following TH may reduce some of the observed side effects associated with the use of TH.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) expression pattern after the cortical stab injury (CSI). Methods CSI was performed on 88 male Wistar rats, divided into control, sham, lesioned, and HBO groups. HBOT protocol was the following: pressure applied was 2.5 absolute atmospheres, for 60 minutes, once a day for consecutive 3 or 10 days. The pattern of SOD2 expression and cellular localization was analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and double-label fluorescence immunohistochemistry. Neurons undergoing degeneration were visualized with Fluoro-Jade®B. Results CSI induced significant transient increase in SOD2 protein levels at day 3 post injury, which was followed by a reduction toward control levels at post-injury day 10. At the same time points, mRNA levels for SOD2 in the injured cortex were down-regulated. Exposure to HBO for 3 days considerably down-regulated SOD2 protein levels in the injured cortex, while after 10 days of HBOT an up-regulation of SOD2 was observed. HBOT significantly increased mRNA levels for SOD2 at both time points compared to the corresponding L group, but they were still lower than in controls. Double immunofluorescence staining revealed that 3 days after CSI, up-regulation of SOD2 was mostly due to an increased expression in reactive astrocytes surrounding the lesion site. HBOT attenuated SOD2 expression both in neuronal and astroglial cells. Fluoro-Jade®B labeling showed that HBOT significantly decreased the number of degenerating neurons in the injured cortex. Conclusion HBOT alters SOD2 protein and mRNA levels after brain injury in a time-dependent manner.
