Effects of emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy on nerve injury, angiogenesis and cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction

摘要

Objective:To explore the effects of emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy on nerve injury, angiogenesis and cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of118 patients with acute cerebral infarction who were treated in the hospital between April 2015 and October 2017 were selected as study subjects and divided into hyperbaric oxygen group (n=59) and control group (n=59) by random number table method. Control group received conventional therapy, hyperbaric oxygen group received conventional therapy combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and both groups were treated for 2 weeks. The differences in nerve injury, angiogenesis and cerebral blood perfusion were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results: Differences in nerve injury, angiogenesis and cerebral perfusion were not significant between the two groups immediately after diagnosis. After 2 weeks of treatment, serum nerve injury indexes IGF-1, Copeptin, PAO, AQP4 and H-FABP contents of hyperbaric oxygen group were lower than those of control group; serum angiogenesis indexes PEDF, Ang-1 and VEGF contents were higher than those of control group whereas ES content was lower than that of control group; stenotic-side cerebral blood perfusion parameters CBF and CBV levels were higher than those of control group whereas TTP level was lower than that of control group.Conclusion: Emergency hyperbaric oxygen therapy can effectively reduce nerve injury, promote cerebral angiogenesis and increase cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
