Purpose

The neuroprotective effects of erythropoietin (EPO) have been recently shown in many animal models of brain injury, including hypoxic-ischemic (HI) encephalopathy, trauma, and excitotoxicity; however, limited data are available for such effects during the neonatal periods. Therefore, we investigated whether recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) can protect against perinatal HI brain injury via an antiapoptotic mechanism.

Methods

The left carotid artery was ligated...

Purpose : Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a simple sulfur-containing amino acid. It is abundantly present in tissues such as brain, retina, heart, and skeletal muscles. Current studies have demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of taurine, but limited data are available for such effects during neonatal period. The aim of this study was to determine whether taurine could reduce hypoxic-ischemic (HI) cerebral...
Neuroprotective effects of resveratrol via anti-apoptosis on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in neonatal rats
Jin Young Shin, Min Ae Seo, Eun Jin Choi, Jin Kyung Kim, Eok Su Seo, Jun Hwa Lee, Hai Lee Chung, Woo Taek Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(10):1102-1111.   Published online October 15, 2008
Purpose : Resveratrol, extracted from red wine and grapes, has an anti-cancer effect, an antiinflammatory effect, and an antioxidative effect mainly in heart disease and also has neuroprotective effects in the adult animal model. No studies for neuroprotective effects during the neonatal periods have been reported. Therefore, we studied the neuroprotective effect of resveratrol on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in neonatal...
Neuroprotective effects of geneticin (G418) via apoptosis in perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury
Mi Ju, Hyun Ju Lee, Sun Ju Lee, Eo Su Seo, Hye Jin Park, Kye Yang Lee, Gyeong Hoon Lee, Eun Jin Choi, Jin Kyung Kim, Jong Won Lee, Hai Lee Chung, Woo Taek Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2008;51(2):170-180.   Published online February 15, 2008
Purpose : Some antibiotics were known to exert neuroprotective effects in the animal model of hypoxic-ischemic (H-I) brain injury, but the mechanism is still unclear. A recent study reported that geneticin (G418), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, increased survival of human breast cancer cells by suppressing apoptosis. We investigated the neuroprotective effects of systemically administrated geneticin via anti-apoptosis following the H-I brain...
Effect of Glucocorticoid-Induced Hyperglycemia on Preventing Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage by Dexamethasone in Neonatal Rat

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(8):1035-1047.   Published online August 15, 1994
Purpose : We evaluated the protective effect of dexamethasone (DX) administration on brain damage produced in a perinatal model of cerebral hypoxia-ischemia in the rat. Since hyperglycemia has been shown to reduce hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HI) in immature rat, we investigated the role of glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia in the neuroprotective mechanism of DX. Methods : Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in 7-day-old rats was...
