Alteration of functional connectivity despite preserved cerebral oxygenation during acute hypoxia.

ABSTRACT: Resting state networks (RSN), which show the connectivity in the brain in the absence of any stimuli, are increasingly important to assess brain function. Here, we investigate the changes in RSN as well as the hemodynamic changes during acute, global hypoxia. Mice were imaged at different levels of oxygen (21, 12, 10 and 8%) over the course of 10 weeks, with hypoxia and normoxia acquisitions interspersed. Simultaneous GCaMP and intrinsic optical imaging allowed tracking of both neuronal and hemodynamic changes. During hypoxic conditions, we found a global increase of both HbO and HbR in the brain. The saturation levels of blood dropped after the onset of hypoxia, but surprisingly climbed back to levels similar to baseline within the 10-min hypoxia period. Neuronal activity also showed a peak at the onset of hypoxia, but dropped back to baseline as well. Despite regaining baseline sO2 levels, changes in neuronal RSN were observed. In particular, the connectivity as measured with GCaMP between anterior and posterior parts of the brain decreased. In contrast, when looking at these same connections with HbO measurements, an increase in connectivity in anterior-posterior brain areas was observed suggesting a potential neurovascular decoupling.

Project description:BackgroundCerebral and myocardial hypoperfusion occur during hemodialysis in adults. Pediatric patients receiving chronic hemodialysis have fewer cardiovascular risk factors, yet cardiovascular morbidity remains prominent.MethodsWe conducted a prospective observational study of pediatric patients receiving chronic hemodialysis to investigate whether intermittent hemodialysis is associated with adverse end organ effects in the heart or with cerebral oxygenation (regional tissue oxyhemoglobin saturation [rSO2]). We assessed intradialytic cardiovascular function and rSO2 using noninvasive echocardiography to determine myocardial strain and continuous noninvasive near-infrared spectroscopy for rSO2. We measured changes in blood volume and measured central venous oxygen saturation (mCVO2) pre-, mid-, and post-hemodialysis.ResultsThe study included 15 patients (median age, 12 years; median hemodialysis vintage, 13.2 [9-24] months). Patients were asymptomatic. The rSO2 did not change during hemodialysis, whereas mCVO2 decreased significantly, from 73% to 64.8%. Global longitudinal strain of the myocardium worsened significantly by mid-hemodialysis and persisted post-hemodialysis. The ejection fraction remained normal. Lower systolic BP and faster blood volume change were associated with worsening myocardial strain; only blood volume change was significant in multivariate analysis (β-coefficient, -0.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.38 to -0.21; P<0.001). Blood volume change was also associated with a significant decrease in mCVO2 (β-coefficient, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.76; P=0.001). Access, age, hemodialysis vintage, and ultrafiltration volume were not associated with worsening strain.ConclusionsUnchanged rSO2 suggested that cerebral oxygenation was maintained during hemodialysis. However, despite maintained ejection fraction, intradialytic myocardial strain worsened in pediatric hemodialysis and was associated with blood volume change. The effect of hemodialysis on individual organ perfusion in pediatric versus adult patients receiving hemodialysis might differ.
