Neuroprotective-Neurorestorative Effects Induced by Progesterone on Global Cerebral Ischemia: A Narrative Review. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2697. [PMID: 38140038 PMCID: PMC10747486 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15122697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Progesterone (P4) is a neuroactive hormone having pleiotropic effects, supporting its pharmacological potential to treat global (cardiac-arrest-related) cerebral ischemia, a condition associated with an elevated risk of dementia. This review examines the current biochemical, morphological, and functional evidence showing the neuroprotective/neurorestorative effects of P4 against global cerebral ischemia (GCI). Experimental findings show that P4 may counteract pathophysiological mechanisms and/or regulate endogenous mechanisms of plasticity induced by GCI. According to this, P4 treatment consistently improves the performance of cognitive functions, such as learning and memory, impaired by GCI. This functional recovery is related to the significant morphological preservation of brain structures vulnerable to ischemia when the hormone is administered before and/or after a moderate ischemic episode; and with long-term adaptive plastic restoration processes of altered brain morphology when treatment is given after an episode of severe ischemia. The insights presented here may be a guide for future basic research, including the study of P4 administration schemes that focus on promoting its post-ischemia neurorestorative effect. Furthermore, considering that functional recovery is a desired endpoint of pharmacological strategies in the clinic, they could support the study of P4 treatment for decreasing dementia in patients who have suffered an episode of GCI.

[PMID: 37109258 PMCID: PMC10143360 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12082923] [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: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
We compared the changes in cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) levels during cardiac arrest (CA) events using porcine models of ventricular fibrillation CA (VF-CA) and asphyxial CA (A-CA). Twenty female pigs were randomly divided into VF-CA and A-CA groups. We initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) 4 min after CA and measured the cerebral tissue oxygenation index (TOI) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) before, during, and after CPR. In both groups, the TOI was the lowest at 3-4 min after pre-CPR phase initiation (VF-CA group: 3.4 min [2.8-3.9]; A-CA group: 3.2 min [2.9-4.6]; p = 0.386). The increase in TOI differed between the groups in the CPR phase (p < 0.001); it increased more rapidly in the VF-CA group (16.6 [5.5-32.6] vs. 1.1 [0.6-3.3] %/min; p < 0.001). Seven pigs surviving for 60 min after the return of spontaneous circulation in the VF-CA group recovered limb movement, whereas only one in the A-CA group (p = 0.023) achieved movement recovery. The increase in the TOI did not differ significantly between the groups in the post-CPR phase (p = 0.341). Therefore, it is better to monitor ScO2 concomitantly with CPR initiation using NIRS to assess the responsiveness to CPR in clinical settings.

Abstract
Most cardiac arrest (CA) survivors experience varying degrees of neurologic deficits. To understand the mechanisms that underpin CA-induced brain injury and, subsequently, develop effective treatments, experimental CA research is essential. To this end, a few mouse CA models have been established. In most of these models, the mice are placed in the supine position in order to perform chest compression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, this resuscitation procedure makes the real-time imaging/monitoring of brain physiology during CA and resuscitation challenging. To obtain such critical knowledge, the present protocol presents a mouse asphyxia CA model that does not require the chest compression CPR step. This model allows for the study of dynamic changes in blood flow, vascular structure, electrical potentials, and brain tissue oxygen from the pre-CA baseline to early post-CA reperfusion. Importantly, this model applies to aged mice. Thus, this mouse CA model is expected to be a critical tool for deciphering the impact of CA on brain physiology.

Abstract
Strict metabolic regulation in discrete brain regions leads to neurochemical changes in cerebral ischemia. Accumulation of extracellular glutamate is one of the early neurochemical changes that take place during cerebral ischemia. Understanding the sequential neurochemical processes involved in cerebral ischemia-mediated excitotoxicity before the clinical intervention of revascularization and reperfusion may greatly influence future therapeutic strategies for clinical stroke recovery. This study investigated the influence of time and brain regions on excitatory neurochemical indices in the bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) model of global ischemia. Male Wistar rats were subjected to BCCAO for 15 and 60 min to evaluate the effect of ischemia duration on excitatory neurochemical indices (dopamine level, glutamine synthetase, glutaminase, glutamate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, monoamine oxidase, acetylcholinesterase, and Na+ K+ ATPase activities) in the discrete brain regions (cortex, striatum, cerebellum, and hippocampus). BCCAO without reperfusion caused marked time and brain region-dependent alterations in glutamatergic, glutaminergic, dopaminergic, monoaminergic, cholinergic, and electrogenic homeostasis. Prolonged BCCAO decreased cortical, striatal, and cerebellar glutamatergic, glutaminergic, dopaminergic, cholinergic, and electrogenic activities; increased hippocampal glutamatergic, glutaminergic, dopaminergic, and cholinergic activities, increased cortical and striatal monoaminergic activity; decreased cerebellar and hippocampal monoaminergic activity; and decreased hippocampal electrogenic activity. This suggests that excitatory neurotransmitters play a major role in the tissue-specific metabolic plasticity and reprogramming that takes place between the onset of cardiac arrest-mediated global ischemia and clinical intervention of recanalization. These tissue-specific neurochemical indices may serve as diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for mitigating the progression of ischemic damage before revascularization.

Differential Glial Chitotriosidase 1 and Chitinase 3-like Protein 1 Expression in the Human Primary Visual Cortex and Cerebellum after Global Hypoxia-Ischemia. Neuroscience 2022; 506:91-113.

Abstract
Here, we studied the neuroinflammation- and ischemia-related glial markers chitotriosidase 1 (CHIT1) and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1, alias YKL-40) in the human striate cortex and cerebellum at different time points after global hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). Both regions differ considerably in their glial cell population but are supplied by the posterior circulation. CHIT1 and CHI3L1 expression was compared to changes in microglial (IBA1, CD68), astrocytic (GFAP, S100β), and neuronal markers (H&E, neurofilament heavy chain, NfH; calretinin, CALR) using immunohistochemistry and multiple-label immunofluorescence. Initial striatal cortical and cerebellar Purkinje cell damage, detectable already 1/2 d after HIBI, led to delayed neuronal death, whereas loss of cerebellar NfH-positive stellate and CALR-positive granule cells was variable. During the first week post-HIBI, a transient reduction of IBA1-positive microglia was observed in both regions, and fragmented/clasmatodendritic cerebellar Bergmann glia appeared. In long-term survivors, both brain regions displayed high densities of activated IBA1-positive cells and CD68-positive macrophages, which showed CHIT1 co-localization in the striate cortex. Furthermore, enlarged GFAP- and S100β-positive astroglia emerged in both regions around 9-10 d post-HIBI, i.e., along with clearance of dead neurons from the neuropil, although GFAP-/S100β-positive gemistocytic astrocytes that co-expressed CHI3L1 were found only in the striate cortex. Thus, only GFAP-/S100β-positive astrocytes in the striate cortex, but not cerebellar Bergmann glia, differentiated into CHI3L1-positive gemistocytes. CHIT1 was co-expressed almost entirely in macrophages in the striate cortex and not cerebellum of long-term survivors, thereby indicating that CHIT1 and CHI3L1 could be valuable biomarkers for monitoring the outcome of global HIBI.

Abstract
AIM Cardiac arrest often results in severe neurologic injury. Improving care for these patients is difficult as few noninvasive biomarkers exist that allow physicians to monitor neurologic health. The amount of low-frequency power (LFP, 0.01-0.1 Hz) in cerebral haemodynamics has been used in functional magnetic resonance imaging as a marker of neuronal activity. Our hypothesis was that increased LFP in cerebral blood flow (CBF) would be correlated with improvements in invasive measures of neurologic health. METHODS We adapted the use of LFP for to monitoring of CBF with diffuse correlation spectroscopy. We asked whether LFP (or other optical biomarkers) correlated with invasive microdialysis biomarkers (lactate-pyruvate ratio - LPR - and glycerol concentration) of neuronal injury in the 4 h after return of spontaneous circulation in a swine model of paediatric cardiac arrest (Sus scrofa domestica, 8-11 kg, 51% female). Associations were tested using a mixed linear effects model. RESULTS We found that higher LFP was associated with higher LPR and higher glycerol concentration. No other biomarkers were associated with LPR; cerebral haemoglobin concentration, oxygen extraction fraction, and one EEG metric were associated with glycerol concentration. CONCLUSION Contrary to expectations, higher LFP in CBF was correlated with worse invasive biomarkers. Higher LFP may represent higher neurologic activity, or disruptions in neurovascular coupling. Either effect may be harmful in the acute period after cardiac arrest. Thus, these results suggest our methodology holds promise for development of new, clinically relevant biomarkers than can guide resuscitation and post-resuscitation care. Institutional protocol number: 19-001327.

A Standardized Multimodal Neurological Monitoring Protocol-Guided Cerebral Protection Therapy for Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Supported Patients. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:922355.

Abstract
Background The main objective of this study was to investigate the role of a multimodal neurological monitoring (MNM)-guided protocol in the precision identification of neural impairment and long-term neurological outcomes in venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) supported patients. Methods We performed a cohort study that examined adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO support in our center between February 2010 and April 2021. These patients were retrospectively assigned to the “with MNM group” and the “without MNM group” based on the presence or absence of MNM-guided precision management. The differences in ECMO-related characteristics, evaluation indicators (precision, sensitivity, and specificity) of the MNM-guided protocol, and the long-term outcomes of the surviving patients were measured and compared between the two groups. Results A total of 63 patients with VA-ECMO support were retrospectively assigned to the without MNM group (n = 35) and the with MNM group (n = 28). The incidence of neural impairment in the without MNM group was significantly higher than that in the with MNM group (82.1 vs. 54.3%, P = 0.020). The MNM group exhibited older median ages [52.5 (39.5, 65.3) vs. 31 (26.5, 48.0), P = 0.008], a higher success rate of ECMO weaning (92.8 vs. 71.4%, P = 0.047), and a lower median duration of building ECMO [40.0 (35.0, 52.0) vs. 58.0 (48.0, 76.0), P = 0.025] and median ECMO duration days [5.0 (4.0, 6.2) vs. 7.0 (5.0, 10.5), P = 0.018] than the group without MNM. The MNM-guided protocol exhibited a higher precision rate (82.1 vs. 60.0%), sensitivity (95.7 vs. 78.9%), and specificity (83.3 vs. 37.5%) in identifying neural impairment in VA-ECMO support patients. There were significant differences in the long-term outcomes of survivors at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge between the two groups (P < 0.05). However, the results showed no significant differences in ICU length of stay (LOS), hospital LOS, survival to discharge, or 28-day mortality between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The MNM-guided protocol is conducive to guiding intensivists in the improvement of cerebral protection therapy for ECMO-supported patients to detect and treat potential neurologic impairment promptly, and then improving long-term neurological outcomes after discharge.

Abstract
Aim Postresuscitation hemodynamics are associated with hospital mortality/functional outcome. We sought to determine whether low-dose steroids started during and continued after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affect postresuscitation hemodynamics and other physiological variables in vasopressor-requiring, in-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods We conducted a two-center, randomized, double-blind trial of patients with adrenaline (epinephrine)-requiring cardiac arrest. Patients were randomized to receive either methylprednisolone 40 mg (steroids group) or normal saline-placebo (control group) during the first CPR cycle post-enrollment. Postresuscitation shock was treated with hydrocortisone 240 mg daily for 7 days maximum and gradual taper (steroids group), or saline-placebo (control group). Primary outcomes were arterial pressure and central-venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) within 72 hours post-ROSC. Results Eighty nine of 98 controls and 80 of 86 steroids group patients with ROSC were treated as randomized. Primary outcome data were collected from 100 patients with ROSC (control, n = 54; steroids, n = 46). In intention-to-treat mixed-model analyses, there was no significant effect of group on arterial pressure, marginal mean (95% confidence interval) for mean arterial pressure, steroids vs. control: 74 (68–80) vs. 72 (66–79) mmHg] and ScvO2 [71 (68–75)% vs. 69 (65–73)%], cardiac index [2.8 (2.5–3.1) vs. 2.9 (2.5–3.2) L/min/m2], and serum cytokine concentrations [e.g. interleukin-6, 89.1 (42.8–133.9) vs. 75.7 (52.1–152.3) pg/mL] determined within 72 hours post-ROSC (P = 0.12–0.86). There was no between-group difference in body temperature, echocardiographic variables, prefrontal blood flow index/cerebral autoregulation, organ failure-free days, and hazard for poor in-hospital/functional outcome, and adverse events (P = 0.08–>0.99). Conclusions Our results do not support the use of low-dose corticosteroids in in-hospital cardiac arrest. Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT02790788 (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guided by End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide-a Porcine Model. J Cardiovasc Transl Res 2022; 15:291-301. [PMID: 35288822 PMCID: PMC8983531 DOI: 10.1007/s12265-022-10210-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for selected cases and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) could be used to guide initiation of ECPR. Ventricular fibrillation was induced in 12 pigs and CPR was performed until ETCO2 fell below 10 mmHg; then, ECPR was performed. Animals were divided into group short (GShort) and group long (GLong), according to time of CPR. Carotid blood flow was higher (p = 0.02) and mean arterial blood pressure lower in GLong during CPR (p < 0.05). B-Lactate was lower and pH higher in GShort (p < 0.01). In microdialysis lactate-pyruvate ratio, glycerol and glutamate increased in both groups during CPR, but considerably in GLong (p < 0.01). No difference could be seen in histopathology of the brain or kidney post-ECPR. No apparent histological differences of tissue damage in brains or levels of S100B in plasma were detected between groups. This might suggest that ETCO2 could be used as a marker for brain injury following ECPR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess ultra-early neuroprognostic significance of GFAP, NF-L, UCH-L1, tau, and S100B concentrations, change trajectory, and combination profile after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA). METHODS Prospective enrollment of 22 OHCA and 10 control patients at an academic tertiary care center between May 1, 2017 and January 28, 2020. Blood was collected within one hour of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) (H0), at hours 6 (H6), 12, 18, 24, and daily or until discharge or death. Biomarker concentrations, multifactor score, and trajectory change were assessed and compared to final neurologic status (good vs poor Cerebral Performance Category; CPC 1-2 vs CPC 3-5, respectively). RESULTS 10 patients had good and 12 had poor neurologic outcomes. Poor outcome patients had higher biomarker concentrations and combined biomarker scores at early time points. The earliest significant difference between good and poor outcome patients' serum biomarkers were at H12 for GFAP (good median: 425 pg/mL [IQR:370-630] vs poor: 5954[1712-65,055] pg/mL; p < 0.001), H12 for NF-L (64[41-69] vs 898[348-1990] pg/mL; p < 0.001), H0 for Tau (31[8-51] vs 124[53-238] pg/mL; p = 0.025), H0 for UCH-L1 (898[375-1600] vs 2475[1898-4098] pg/mL; p = 0.008), and H6 for S100B (123[70-290] vs 895[360-1199] pg/mL; p = 0.002). Four biomarker composite scores differed by H12 (78.03[52.03-111.25] vs 749 [198.46-4870.63] pg/mL; p = 0.003). Machine-learning approach also identified that four-marker score trajectory group memberships are in concordance with patient outcome. CONCLUSIONS Ultra-early serial serum concentrations of neuronal and astroglial biomarkers may be of neuroprognostic significance following OHCA.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in neuronal injuries after cardiac arrest. Increased production of carbon monoxide (CO) by the enzyme hemeoxygenase (HO) in the brain is induced by the oxidative stress. HO is present in the CNS in two isoforms, namely the inducible HO-1 and the constitutive HO-2. Elevated levels of serum HO-1 occurs in cardiac arrest patients and upregulation of HO-1 in cardiac arrest is seen in the neurons. However, the role of HO-2 in cardiac arrest is not well known. In this review involvement of HO-1 and HO-2 enzymes in the porcine brain following cardiac arrest and resuscitation is discussed based on our own observations. In addition, neuroprotective role of methylene blue- an antioxidant dye on alterations in HO under in cardiac arrest is also presented. The biochemical findings of HO-1 and HO-2 enzymes using ELISA were further confirmed by immunocytochemical approach to localize selective regional alterations in cardiac arrest. Our observations are the first to show that cardiac arrest followed by successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation results in significant alteration in cerebral concentrations of HO-1 and HO-2 levels indicating a prominent role of CO in brain pathology and methylene blue during CPR followed by induced hypothermia leading to superior neuroprotection after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), not reported earlier.

Abstract
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is associated with a variety of diseases. Early diagnosis and the timely intervention of elevated ICP are effective means to clinically reduce the morbidity and mortality of some diseases. The detection and judgment of reduced ICP are beneficial to glaucoma doctor and neuro ophthalmologist to diagnose optic nerve disease earlier. It is important to evaluate and monitor ICP clinically. Although invasive ICP detection is the gold standard, it can have complications. Most non-invasive ICP tests are related to the optic nerve and surrounding tissues due to their anatomical characteristics. Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, transcranial Doppler, papilledema on optical coherence tomography, visual evoked potential, ophthalmodynamometry, the assessment of spontaneous retinal venous pulsations, and eye-tracking have potential for application. Although none of these methods can completely replace invasive technology; however, its repeatable, low risk, high accuracy, gradually attracted people's attention. This review summarizes the non-invasive ICP detection methods related to the optic nerve and the role of the diagnosis and prognosis of neurological disorders and glaucoma. We discuss the advantages and challenges and predict possible areas of development in the future.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a catastrophic event with high morbidity and mortality. Despite advances over time in cardiac arrest management and postresuscitation care, the neurologic consequences of cardiac arrest are frequently devastating to patients and their families. Targeted temperature management is an intervention aimed at limiting postanoxic injury and improving neurologic outcomes following cardiac arrest. Recovery of neurologic function governs long-term outcome after cardiac arrest and prognosticating on the potential for recovery is a heavy burden for physicians. An early and accurate estimate of the potential for recovery can establish realistic expectations and avoid futile care in those destined for a poor outcome. This chapter reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutic interventions, prognostication, and neurologic sequelae of cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine released in response to an inflammatory stimulus or tissue injury. IL-6 levels are known to increase in patients with brain injury. OBJECTIVE We investigated the neurologic outcomes associated with serum IL-6 levels in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors who underwent target temperature management (TTM). METHODS This was a prospective single-center observational study from October 2018 to November 2019 in a cohort of 45 patients. Serum inflammatory markers (IL-6, C-reactive protein, white blood cells) were determined in samples obtained immediately and at 24, 48, and 72 h after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Poor neurologic outcome, defined as Cerebral Performance Category 3-5 at 3 months after cardiac arrest, was the primary outcome. RESULTS Among 45 patients enrolled in this study, 25 (55.6%) patients showed a poor neurologic outcome. IL-6 levels were significantly higher in the poor neurologic outcome group immediately (IL-60) after ROSC. The area under the curve (AUC) value of IL-60 was the highest among those of serum IL-6, CRP, and WBC at each time point. The IL-6 levels for predicting poor neurologic outcome had a sensitivity of 75.0%, with 80% specificity at IL-60. The AUC of IL-60 was 0.810 (95% confidence interval 0.664-0.913), with a cutoff value of 346.7 pg mL-1. CONCLUSIONS Serum IL-6 level immediately after ROSC was a highly specific and sensitive marker for the 3-month poor neurologic outcome, and may be a useful early predictive marker of neurologic outcome in OHCA survivors treated with TTM.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after cardiac arrest (CA) often leads to neurological deficits in the absence of effective treatment. The aim of the present basic research study was to investigate the effects of human urine-derived stem cells (hUSCs) on the recovery of neurological function in rats after CA/CPR. hUSCs were isolated in vitro and identified using flow cytometry. A rat model of CA was established, and CPR was performed. Animals were scored for neurofunctional deficits following hUSC transplantation. The expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the hippocampus and temporal cortex were detected via immunofluorescence. Moreover, brain water content and serum S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B) levels were measured 7 days following hUSC transplantation. The results demonstrated that hUSCs had upregulated expression levels of CD29, CD90, CD44, CD105, CD73, CD224 and CD146, and expressed low levels of CD34 and human leukocyte antigen-DR isotype. In addition, hUSCs were able to differentiate into neuronal cells in vitro. The SPSS 19.0 statistical package was used for statistical analysis, and it was found that the neurological function of the rats after CA/CPR was significantly improved following hUSC transplantation. Furthermore, hUSCs aggregated in the hippocampus and temporal cortex, and secreted large amounts of BDNF and VEGF. hUSC transplantation also effectively inhibited brain edema and serum S100B levels after CPR. Therefore, the results suggested that hUSC transplantation significantly improved the neurological function of rats after CA/CPR, possibly by promoting the expression levels of BDNF and VEGF, as well as inhibiting brain edema.

Abstract
Stem cells have been used for regenerative and therapeutic purposes in a variety of diseases. In ischemic brain injury, preclinical studies have been promising, but have failed to translate results to clinical trials. We aimed to explore the application of stem cells after ischemic brain injury by focusing on topics such as delivery routes, regeneration efficacy, adverse effects, and in vivo potential optimization. PUBMED and Web of Science were searched for the latest studies examining stem cell therapy applications in ischemic brain injury, particularly after stroke or cardiac arrest, with a focus on studies addressing delivery optimization, stem cell type comparison, or translational aspects. Other studies providing further understanding or potential contributions to ischemic brain injury treatment were also included. Multiple stem cell types have been investigated in ischemic brain injury treatment, with a strong literature base in the treatment of stroke. Studies have suggested that stem cell administration after ischemic brain injury exerts paracrine effects via growth factor release, blood-brain barrier integrity protection, and allows for exosome release for ischemic injury mitigation. To date, limited studies have investigated these therapeutic mechanisms in the setting of cardiac arrest or therapeutic hypothermia. Several delivery modalities are available, each with limitations regarding invasiveness and safety outcomes. Intranasal delivery presents a potentially improved mechanism, and hypoxic conditioning offers a potential stem cell therapy optimization strategy for ischemic brain injury. The use of stem cells to treat ischemic brain injury in clinical trials is in its early phase; however, increasing preclinical evidence suggests that stem cells can contribute to the down-regulation of inflammatory phenotypes and regeneration following injury. The safety and the tolerability profile of stem cells have been confirmed, and their potent therapeutic effects make them powerful therapeutic agents for ischemic brain injury patients.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest causes neuronal damage and functional impairments that can result in learning/memory dysfunction after ischemia. We previously identified a saturated fatty acid (stearic acid methyl ester, SAME) that was released from the superior cervical ganglion (sympathetic ganglion). The function of stearic acid methyl ester is currently unknown. Here, we show that SAME can inhibit the detrimental effects of global cerebral ischemia (i.e. cardiac arrest). Treatment with SAME in the presence of asphyxial cardiac arrest (ACA) revived learning and working memory deficits. Similarly, SAME-treated hippocampal slices after oxygen-glucose deprivation inhibited neuronal cell death. Moreover, SAME afforded neuroprotection against ACA in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, reduced ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 expression and inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, with restoration in mitochondria respiration. Altogether, we describe a unique and uncharted role of saturated fatty acids in the brain that may have important implications against cerebral ischemia.

Mean arterial pressure is associated with the neurological function in patients who survived after cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A retrospective cohort study. Clin Cardiol 2020; 43:1286-1293. [PMID: 32737997 PMCID: PMC7661647 DOI: 10.1002/clc.23441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2020] [Revised: 07/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background About 18% to 40% of the survivors have moderate to severe neurological dysfunction. At present, studies on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and neurological function of patients survived after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are limited and conflicted. Hypothesis The higher the MAP of the patient who survived after CPR, the better the neurological function. Method A retrospective cohort study was conducted to detect the relationship between MAP and the neurological function of patients who survived after CPR by univariate analysis, multivariate regression analysis, and subgroup analysis. Results From January 2007 to December 2015, a total of 290 cases met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study. The univariate analysis showed that MAP was associated with the neurological function of patients who survived after CPR; its OR value was 1.03 (1.01, 1.04). The multi‐factor regression analysis also showed that MAP was associated with the neurological function of patients survived after CPR in the four models, the adjusted OR value of the four models were 1.021 (1.008, 1.035); 1.028 (1.013, 1.043); 1.027 (1.012, 1.043); and 1.029 (1.014, 1.044), respectively. The subgroups analyses showed that when 65 mm Hg ≤ MAP<100 mm Hg and when patients with targeted temperature management or without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, with the increase of MAP, the better neurological function of patients survived after CPR. Conclusion This study found that the higher MAP, the better the neurological function of patients who survived after CPR. At the same time, the maintenance of MAP at 65 to 100 mm Hg would improve the neurological function of patients who survived after CPR.

Salvianolic Acid B Improves Postresuscitation Myocardial and Cerebral Outcomes in a Murine Model of Cardiac Arrest: Involvement of Nrf2 Signaling Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:1605456. [PMID: 32714485 PMCID: PMC7352143 DOI: 10.1155/2020/1605456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Survival and outcome of cardiac arrest (CA) are dismal despite improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Salvianolic acid B (Sal B), extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza, has been investigated for its cardioprotective properties in cardiac remodeling and ischemic heart disease, but less is known about its role in CA. The aim of this study was to learn whether Sal B improves cardiac and neurologic outcomes after CA/CPR in mice. Female C57BL/6 mice were subjected to eight minutes of CA induced by an intravenous injection of potassium chloride (KCl), followed by CPR. After 30 seconds of CPR, mice were blindly randomized to receive either Sal B (20 mg/kg) or vehicle (normal saline) intravenously. Hemodynamic variables and indices of left ventricular function were determined before CA and within three hours after CPR, the early postresuscitation period. Sal B administration resulted in a remarkable decrease in the time required for the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in animals that successfully resuscitated compared to the vehicle-treated mice. Myocardial performance, including cardiac output and left ventricular systolic (dp/dtmax) and diastolic (dp/dtmin) function, was clearly ameliorated within three hours of ROSC in the Sal B-treated mice. Moreover, Sal B inhibited CA/CPR-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and preserved mitochondrial morphology and function. Mechanistically, Sal B dramatically promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation through the downregulation of Keap1, which resulted in the expression of antioxidant enzymes, including HO-1 and NQO1, thereby counteracted the oxidative damage in response to CA/CPR. The aforementioned antiapoptotic and antioxidant effects of Sal B were impaired in the setting of gene silencing of Nrf2 with siRNA in vitro model. These improvements were associated with better neurological function and increased survival rate (75% vs. 40%, p < 0.05) up to 72 hours postresuscitation. Our findings suggest that the administration of Sal B improved cardiac function and neurological outcomes in a murine model of CA via activating the Nrf2 antioxidant signaling pathway, which may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of CA.

Efficacy and safety of corticosteroid therapy in patients with cardiac arrest: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 76:1631-1638.

Abstract
PURPOSES The role of corticosteroid therapy in patients with cardiac arrest (CA) is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of corticosteroid therapy in CA patients. METHODS Randomised controlled trials were identified using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. The primary outcome was overall survival. Secondary outcomes were positive neurological status and probability of sustained restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Complications were infection and bleeding. Given the significant heterogeneity across previous studies, combining the data using meta-analysis was deemed not appropriate. RESULTS Five studies (551 patients) met the criteria. Two studies of co-intervention therapy (corticosteroid, vasopressin and epinephrine protocol) found that this approach could benefit in-hospital CA patient survival rates at hospital discharge, improve neurological function at hospital discharge and yield sustained ROSC rate. However, further two studies failed to demonstrate that corticosteroid therapy alone could improve survival and neurological outcomes among CA patients. Additionally, corticosteroid therapy did not increase the risk of infection and bleeding. CONCLUSIONS Due to the inherent limitations of the studies in this review, we have not been able to reach definitive conclusions. Larger-scale and better-designed studies are therefore recommended, to further evaluate the potential and rational use of corticosteroid therapy in CA patients.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest (CA) is a serious disease with high rates of mortality and disability worldwide. Currently, neither pharmacological intervention nor therapeutic hypothermia can reverse the neural injury caused by CA. Neural stem cell therapy is a promising treatment for brain injury. We investigated the effects of the intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of human neural stem cells (hNSCs) on global brain ischemia injury after CA. Twelve Long-Evans rats (4 Male and 8 female) subjected to 8-min asphyxia-CA were randomly assigned to hNSC treatment (n=7) or control group (n=5). The hNSCs were slowly infused into the left lateral ventricular 3 hours after resuscitation. An additional two rats subjected to 8-min asphyxia-CA were euthanized at 4 weeks after resuscitation to confirm the survival and function of transplanted PKH26 pre-labeled hNSCs by brain slides and whole cell patch clamp. Electrophysiological monitoring, quantitative EEG value (qEEG-IQ) and neurological deficit score (NDS) were used to evaluate the functional outcome. Immunofluorescence staining was used to investigate the survival of neurons and track migration of hNSCs. There was a significant improvement on the behavior tests evaluated as a subgroup of NDS (p <; 0.05) in the NSCs group than the control group. Immunofluorescent co-staining of PKH26 and NeuN verified the neuronal differentiation from transplanted PKH26+ hNSCs in the hippocampus CA1 and cortex 4 weeks after CA. The whole-cell patch clamp technique confirmed the spontaneous firing activity that was recorded in cell-attached mode from the functional mature neurons derived from transplanted cells. Transplanted hNSCs via ICV administration markedly improved neurologic outcomes after CA. Further studies are needed to elucidate the neuroprotective mechanism.

Abstract
Cognitive deficits are a devastating neurological outcome seen in survivors of cardiac arrest. We previously reported water electrolysis derived 67% hydrogen gas inhalation has some beneficial effects on short-term outcomes in a rat model of global brain hypoxia-ischemia induced by asphyxia cardiac arrest. In the present study, we further investigated its protective effects in long-term spatial learning memory function using the same animal model. Water electrolysis derived 67% hydrogen gas was either administered 1 hour prior to cardiac arrest for 1 hour and at 1-hour post-resuscitation for 1 hour (pre- & post-treatment) or at 1-hour post-resuscitation for 2 hours (post-treatment). T-maze and Morris water maze were used for hippocampal memory function evaluation at 7 and 14 days post-resuscitation, respectively. Neuronal degeneration within hippocampal Cornu Ammonis 1 (CA1) regions was examined by Fluoro-Jade staining ex vivo. Hippocampal deficits were detected at 7 and 18 days post-resuscitation, with increased neuronal degeneration within hippocampal CA1 regions. Both hydrogen gas treatment regimens significantly improved spatial learning function and attenuated neuronal degeneration within hippocampal CA1 regions at 18 days post-resuscitation. Our findings suggest that water electrolysis derived 67% hydrogen gas may be an effective therapeutic approach for improving cognitive outcomes associated with global brain hypoxia-ischemia following cardiac arrest. The study was approved by the Animal Health and Safety Committees of Loma Linda University, USA (approval number: IACUC #8170006) on March 2, 2017.

Abstract
Introduction Survival rates for patients in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have remained around 10% in the United Kingdom for the past seven years. If outcomes are to be improved, research into new methods of advanced life support is required. One such method may be ‘heads-up’ cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods: A systematic review of literature exploring heads-up cardiopulmonary resuscitation was conducted in an attempt to identify its effects on survival to discharge and neurological outcome. Results: A comprehensive search of CINAHL, MEDLINE and Google Scholar was undertaken. Six papers were classed as sufficiently relevant for inclusion. Included studies were generally of low quality and none studied the effect of heads-up cardiopulmonary resuscitation on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Animal studies identified a significant reduction in intracranial pressure and increase in cerebral and coronary perfusion pressure for use of augmented heads-up cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the porcine model of cardiac arrest. Conclusion: Further research is required to analyse the effects and potential benefits of augmented heads-up cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Abstract
The number of obese patients undergoing cardiac and noncardiac surgery is rapidly increasing because they are more prone to concomitant diseases, such as diabetes, thrombosis, sleep-disordered breathing, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders. Even if guidelines are already available to manage anesthesia and surgery of obese patients, the assessment of the perioperative morbidity and mortality from heart and brain disorders in morbidly obese surgical patients will be challenging in the next years. The present review will recapitulate the new mechanisms underlying the Heart-brain Axis (HBA) vulnerability during the perioperative period in healthy and morbidly obese patients. Finally, we will describe the nutrigenomics approach, an emerging noninvasive dietary tool, to maintain a healthy body weight and to minimize the HBA propensity to injury in obese individuals undergoing all types of surgery by personalized intake of plant compounds that may regulate the switch from health to disease in an epigenetic manner. Our review provides current insights into the mechanisms underlying HBA response in obese surgical patients and how they are modulated by epigenetically active food constituents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels increase in patients with brain injury. We investigated neurologic outcomes associated with CSF LDH levels in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors who underwent target temperature management (TTM). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective single-centre observational study from April 2018 to May 2019 on a cohort of 41 patients. CSF and serum LDH samples were obtained immediately (LDH0) and at 24 (LDH24), 48 (LDH48), and 72 h (LDH72) after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Neurologic outcomes were assessed at 3 months after ROSC using the Cerebral Performance Category scale. RESULTS Twenty-one patients had a poor neurologic outcome. CSF LDH levels were significantly higher in the poor neurologic outcome group at each time point. The area under the curve (AUC) of CSF LDH48 was 0.941 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.806-0.992). With a cut off value of 250 U/L, CSF LDH48 had a high sensitivity (94.1%; 95% CI, 71.3-99.9) at 100% specificity. CONCLUSIONS CSF LDH level at 48 h was a highly specific and sensitive marker for 3-month poor neurologic outcome. This may constitute a useful predictive marker for neurologic outcome in OHCA survivors treated with TTM.

Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used in clinical and animal studies, along with the development of diverse tracers. The biochemical characteristics of PET tracers may help uncover the pathophysiological consequences of cardiac arrest (CA) and ischemic stroke, which include cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, depletion of oxygen and glucose, and neuroinflammation. PubMed was searched for studies of the application of PET for "cardiac arrest," "ischemic stroke," and "targeted temperature management." Available studies were included and classified according to the biochemical properties involved and metabolic processes of PET tracers, and were summarized. The mechanisms of ischemic brain injuries were investigated by PET with various tracers to elucidate the pathological process from the initial decrease of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to the subsequent abnormalities in energy and oxygen metabolism, to the monitoring of inflammation. In general, the trends of cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism after ischemic attack are not unidirectional but closely related to the time point of injury and recovery. Glucose metabolism after injury showed significant differences in different brain regions whereas global cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRglc) declined. PET monitoring of neuroinflammation shows comparable efficacy to immunostaining. The technology of PET targeting in brain metabolism and the development of tracers provide new tools to track and evaluate the brain's pathological changes after ischemic brain injury. Despite no existing evidence for an available PET-based prediction method, discoveries of new tracers are expected to provide more possibilities for the whole field.

Abstract
Brain injury is the most common cause of death postcardiac arrest. Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is suggested to be useful in the prognostication in cases of postcardiac arrest brain injury. However, combined monitoring with aEEG and regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) for postcardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) patients to improve accuracy has not been reported. The purpose of this prospective observational study is to assess the usefulness of aEEG and rSO2 for PCAS patients with targeted temperature management (TTM) to predict neurological outcome and possibly identify the pathophysiology of postcardiac arrest brain injury. PCAS patients with TTM at 34°C were monitored by aEEG and rSO2 immediately after admission to the intensive care unit and evaluated at the start of monitoring, and 24 and 48 hours after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Patients were divided into two groups according to electroencephalography (EEG) pattern: a continuous EEG (C) pattern group and a noncontinuous EEG (NC) pattern group. Patients with C pattern had a significantly more favorable neurologic outcome compared with patients with an NC pattern at each point in time. No significant difference in rSO2 values was observed between the C pattern and the NC pattern at any time point. Variation coefficient at rSO2 in the NC group was significantly greater than that in the C group from the start of the monitoring to 24 hours. aEEG is useful in predicting outcome for PCAS patients whereas rSO2 is not.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI), increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can ensue from cerebral edema stemming from cytotoxic and vasogenic mechanisms. Downstream sequelae of restricted cerebral blood flow lead to neurologic braindeath. There is limited data characterizing the temporal trends and patterns of ICP and compliance in human HIBI patients. METHODS Patients underwent invasive ICP monitoring with a parenchymal probe (Camino) and were managed with a tier-based management algorithm for elevated ICP. Data pertaining to mean arterial pressure (MAP), ICP, brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2), end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), core body temperature and RAP (moving correlation coefficient between mean ICP and its mean pulse amplitude) as a measure of intracranial compliance were recorded in the ICM + software. Data pertaining to ICP lowering interventions was also collected. RESULTS Ten patients were included with a median age of 47 (range 20-71) and seven were male (7/10). The mean ICP was 14 mmHg (SD 11) and time of ICP> 20 mmHg was 22% (range 0-100). The mean MAP, ETCO2 and temperature were 89 mmHg (SD 13), 31 mmHg (SD 7), 35.7 °C (SD 0.9), respectively. The mean RAP was 0.58 (SD 0.34) and time of RAP > 0.4 was 78% (range 57-97). There were no significant relationships between ETCO2 and temperature with ICP. CONCLUSIONS In our cohort, HIBI was characterized by normal ICP but with limited intracranial compliance. However, significant in between patient heterogeneity exists with respect to temporal patterns of intracranial pressure - volume relationships in HIBI.

Abstract
L’arrêt cardiaque cause une hypoxie-ischémie globale, suivi de reperfusion, qui est susceptible d’engendrer des effets délétères sur la perfusion et l’oxygénation cérébrales, ainsi que le métabolisme cellulaire. Dans ce contexte, et en l’absence de thérapies spcéfiques de l’ischémie-reperfusion globale, le traitement est essentiellement de soutien, visant à optimiser la perfusion et l’oxygénation cérébrale, dans le but de prévenir ou atténuer les dégâts secondaires sur la fonction cérébrale. Dans ce contexte, le monitorage cérébral multimodal, notamment les techniques non-invasives, ont une utilité potentielle à la phase agiuë de l’arrêt cardiaque. Le but prinicpal de cette revue est de décrire les techniques actuellement dipsonibles, en nous focalisant surtout sur les outils noninvasifs (doppler transcranien, spectrospcope de proche infrarouge, électroencéphalographie, pupillométrie automatisée proche infrarouge), leur utilité clinique potentielle ainsi que leurs limitations, dans la prise en charge aiguë (optimisation de la perfusion et de l’oxygénation cérébrales) ainsi que pour la détermination du pronostic précoce après arrêt cardiaque.

Abstract
BACKGROUND H2S can also protect nerve cells. The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on the expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptors, tyrosine protein kinase B (TrkB) and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), in brain tissues of rats with cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR) following the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). METHODS Rats (n = 240) with CA/CPR were divided into three groups: Intervention (n = 80) that received sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, 14 μmoL/kg·d) intervention after ROSC; Inhibition (n = 80) that received hydroxylamine (40 μmoL/kg·d) intervention after ROSC; and Control (n = 80) that received saline after ROSC. Kaplan-Meyer analysis was used to analyze the survival data. Quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR), Western blot, immunohistochemistry and IODs (integrated optical density) were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expressions of BDNF, TrkB and p75NTR in rat brain tissues. RESULTS Survival rate of the three groups had significant difference (χ2 = 28.376, p = 0.000). The Intervention group had the highest survival rate (82.5%), while the Inhibition group had the lowest survival rate (62.5%). The mRNA and protein levels of BDNF and TrkB in the Intervention group were significantly higher compared to the Control group (p < 0.05); while the mRNA and protein levels of BDNF and TrkB in the Inhibition group was significantly lower than the Control group (p < 0.05) on days 1, 3, and 7. However, the mRNA and protein levels of p75NTR in the Intervention group were significantly lower than the Control group (p < 0.05); while the mRNA and protein levels of p75NTR in the Inhibition group were significantly higher than the Control group (p < 0.05) on days 1, 3, and 7. CONCLUSION NaHS treatment increases the survival rate of rats after CA and ROSC by upregulating the expression and activation of BDNF and its receptor TrkB, and down-regulating p75NTR expression.

Abstract
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) remains a leading cause of sudden morbidity and mortality; however, outcomes have continued to improve in the era of targeted temperature management (TTM). In this review, we highlight the clinical use of TTM, and provide an updated summary of multimodality monitoring possible in a modern ICU. TTM is neuroprotective for survivors of CA by inhibiting multiple pathophysiologic processes caused by anoxic brain injury, with a final common pathway of neuronal death. Current guidelines recommend the use of TTM for out-of-hospital CA survivors who present with a shockable rhythm. Further studies are being completed to determine the optimal timing, depth and duration of hypothermia to optimize patient outcomes. Although a multidisciplinary approach is necessary in the CA population, neurologists and neurointensivists are central in selecting TTM candidates and guiding patient care and prognostic evaluation. Established prognostic tools include clinal exam, SSEP, EEG and MR imaging, while functional MRI and invasive monitoring is not validated to improve outcomes in CA or aid in prognosis. We recommend that an evidence-based TTM and prognostication algorithm be locally implemented, based on each institution's resources and limitations. Given the high incidence of CA and difficulty in predicting outcomes, further study is urgently needed to determine the utility of more recent multimodality devices and studies.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Surviving cardiac arrest (CA) requires a longitudinal approach with multiple levels of responsibility, including fostering a culture of action by increasing public awareness and training, optimization of resuscitation measures including frequent updates of guidelines and their timely implementation into practice, and optimization of post-CA care. This clearly goes beyond resuscitation and targeted temperature management. Brain-directed physiologic goals should dictate the post-CA management, as accumulating evidence suggests that the degree of hypoxic brain injury is the main determinant of survival, regardless of the etiology of arrest. Early assessment of the need for further hemodynamic and electrophysiologic cardiac interventions, adjusting ventilator settings to avoid hyperoxia/hypoxia while targeting high-normal to mildly elevated PaCO2, maintaining mean arterial blood pressures >65 mmHg, evaluating for and treating seizures, maintaining euglycemia, and aggressively pursuing normothermia are key steps in reducing the bioenergetic failure that underlies secondary brain injury. Accurate neuroprognostication requires a multimodal approach with standardized assessments accounting for confounders while recognizing the importance of a delayed prognostication when there is any uncertainty regarding outcome. The concept of a highly specialized post-CA team with expertise in the management of post-CA syndrome (mindful of the brain-directed physiologic goals during the early post-resuscitation phase), TTM, and neuroprognostication, guiding the comprehensive care to the CA survivor, is likely cost-effective and should be explored by institutions that frequently care for these patients. Finally, providing tailored rehabilitation care with systematic reassessment of the needs and overall goals is key for increasing independence and improving quality-of-life in survivors, thereby also alleviating the burden on families. Emerging evidence from multicenter collaborations advances the field of resuscitation at an incredible pace, challenging previously well-established paradigms. There is no more room for "conventional wisdom" in saving the survivors of cardiac arrest.
