Abstract:
AIM: This study was designed to investigate the protective role of hypobaric hypoxic pretreatment (HHPT) on hippocampal neurons in Babl/c inbred mice. METHODS: HHPT was produced by simulating a 7 000 m high altitude 2.5 h/d for 3 d. At 36 h after last time decompression, three subgroups consisted of both the control and pretreatment mice were subjected to the 12 000 m high altitude hypobaric hypoxia for 4 h, the severe ischemia produced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion for 18 min, and the severe ischemia/hypoxia produced by permanently ligation of right lateral common carotid artery followed by a 8 000 m high altitude hypobaric hypoxia for 4 h, respectively. The extents of protection to hippocampal CA1 neurons by HHPT were evaluated by accounting the number of intact neurons between HHPT and control group. RESULTS: The results indicated that HHPT protected hippocampal neurons against severe hypobaric hypoxia, severe ischemia, and ischemia combined with hypobaric hypoxia. CONCLUSION: Hypobaric hypoxic pretreatment induces a delayed protection to hippocampal neurons against hypoxic and ischemic injuries.
