Functional recovery in rat spinal cord injury induced by hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning.

It is a common belief that neurosurgical interventions can cause inevitable damage resulting from the procedure itself in surgery especially for intramedullary spinal cord tumors. The present study was designed to examine if hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) was neuroprotective against surgical injuries using a rat model of spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ In conclusion, preconditioning with HBO and hypobaric hypoxia can facilitate functional recovery and suppress cell apoptosis after SCI and may prove to be a useful preventive strategy to neurosurgical SCI.

Hydrogen rich saline reduces immune-mediated brain injury in rats with acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

This experiment was designed to determine whether hydrogen (H(2)) rich saline can ameliorate brain abnormalities in a rat model with acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. ⋯ The results indicate that H(2) rich saline prevents immune-mediated brain injury after CO poisoning.
