Glibenclamide Is Comparable to Target Temperature Management in Improving Survival and Neurological Outcome After Asphyxial Cardiac Arrest in Rats.

ABSTRACT: We previously have shown that glibenclamide (GBC), a sulfonylurea receptor 1-transient receptor potential M4 (SUR1-TRPM4) channel inhibitor, improves survival and neurological outcome after asphyxial cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACA/CPR). Here, we further compare the efficacy of GBC with target temperature management (TTM) and determine whether the efficacy of GBC is affected by TTM.Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=213) subjected to 10-minute ACA/CPR were randomized to 4 groups after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC): normothermia control (NT); GBC; TTM; and TTM+GBC. Survival, neurodeficit scores, histological injury, as well as the expressions of SUR1 and TRPM4 were evaluated. The 7-day survival rate was 34.4% (11 of 32) in the NT group, 65% (13 of 20) in the GBC group, 50% (10 of 20) in the TTM group, and 70% (14 of 20) in the TTM+GBC group. Rats that received either GBC, TTM alone, or in combination showed less neurological deficit than NT control at 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days after ROSC. Moreover, TTM or GBC ameliorated neuronal degeneration and glial activation in the hippocampal CA1 region with similar efficacy, whereas the combination of them had a trend toward better effect. The subunits of SUR1-TRPM4 heterodimers were both strongly upregulated after ACA/CPR and expressed in multiple types of brain cells, but partly suppressed by TTM.GBC is comparable to TTM in improving survival and neurological outcome after ACA/CPR. When GBC is given along with TTM, less histological injury tended to be achieved.

Project description:PurposePrevious clinical studies have suggested an effect of gender on outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but the results are conflicting and there is no uniform agreement regarding gender differences in survival and prognosis. The present study was aimed to investigate the interaction between gender and post resuscitation interventions on neurological outcome in an asphyxial rat model of cardiac arrest.MethodsAsphyxia was induced by blocking the endotracheal tube in 120 adult Sprague-Dawley rats (60 males and 60 females) at the same age. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was started after 5 min of untreated cardiac arrest. Animals were randomized into one of the three post resuscitation care intervention groups (n = 40, 20 males) immediately after resuscitation: (1) normothermic control (NC): ventilated with 2% N2/98% O2 for 1 h under normothermia; (2) targeted temperature management (TTM): ventilated with 2% N2/98% O2 for 1 h under hypothermia; (3) hydrogen inhalation (HI): ventilated with 2% H2/98% O2 for 1 h under normothermia. Physiological variables were recorded during the 5 h post resuscitation monitoring period. Neurological deficit score (NDS) and accumulative survival were used to assess 96 h outcomes. Mutual independence analysis and Mantel-Haenszel stratified analysis were used to explore the associations among gender, intervention and survival.ResultsThe body weights of female rats were significantly lighter than males, but CPR characteristics did not differ between genders. Compared with male rats, females had significantly lower mean arterial pressure, longer onset time of the electroencephalogram (EEG) burst and time to normal EEG trace (TTNT) in the NC group; relatively longer TTNT in the TTM group; and substantially longer TTNT, lower NDSs, and higher survival in the HI group. Mutual independence analysis revealed that both gender and intervention were associated with neurological outcome. Mantel-Haenszel stratified analysis demonstrated that female rats had significantly higher survival rate than males when adjusted for the confounder intervention.ConclusionIn this rat model cardiac arrest and CPR, gender did not affect resuscitation but associated with neurological outcome. The superiority of female rats in neurological recovery was affected by post resuscitation interventions and female rats were more likely to benefit from hydrogen therapy.

Project description:Cardiac arrest leads to sudden cessation of oxygen supply and cerebral hypoxia occurs when there is not sufficient oxygen supplied to the brain. Current Guidelines for adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care recommend the use of 100% oxygen during resuscitative efforts to maximize the probability of achieving the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). However, the optimal strategy for oxygen management after ROSC is still debatable. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the duration of post-resuscitation hyperoxic ventilation on neurological outcomes in asphyxial cardiac arrest rats treated with targeted temperature management (TTM). Asphyxia was induced by blocking the endotracheal tube in 80 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. CPR begun after 7 min of untreated cardiac arrest. Animals were randomized to either the normoxic control under normothermia (NNC) group or to one of the 4 experimental groups (n = 16 each) immediately after ROSC: ventilated with 100% oxygen for 0 (O2_0h), 1 (O2_1h), 3 (O2_3h), or 5 (O2_5h) h and ventilated with room air thereafter under TTM. Physiological variables were recorded at baseline and during the 6 h postresuscitation monitoring period. Animals were closely observed for 96 h to assess neurologic recovery and survival. There were no significant differences in baseline measurements between groups, and all animals were successfully resuscitated. There were significant interactions between the duration of 100% oxygen administration and hemodynamics as well as, myocardial and cerebral injuries. Among all the durations of hyperoxic ventilation investigated, significantly lower neurological deficit scores and higher survival rates were observed in the O2_3h group than in the NNC group. In conclusion, postresuscitation hyperoxic ventilation leads to improved PaO2, PaCO2, hemodynamic, myocardial and cerebral recovery in asphyxial cardiac arrest rats treated with TTM. However, the beneficial effects of high concentration-oxygen are duration dependent and ventilation with 100% oxygen during induced hypothermia contributes to improved neurological recovery and survival after 96 h.

Project description:Children who survive cardiac arrest often develop debilitating sensorimotor and cognitive deficits. In animal models of cardiac arrest, delayed neuronal death in the hippocampal CA1 region has served as a fruitful paradigm for investigating mechanisms of injury and neuroprotection. Cardiac arrest in humans, however, is more prolonged than in most experimental models. Consequently, neurologic deficits in cardiac arrest survivors arise from injury not solely to CA1 but to multiple vulnerable brain structures. Here, we develop a rat model of prolonged pediatric asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation, which better approximates arrest characteristics and injury severity in children. Using this model, we characterize features of microglial activation and neuronal degeneration in the thalamus 24 h after resuscitation from 11 and 12 min long cardiac arrest. In addition, we test the effect of mild hypothermia to 34°C for 8 h after 12.5 min of arrest. Microglial activation and neuronal degeneration are most prominent in the thalamic Reticular Nucleus (nRT). The severity of injury increases with increasing arrest duration, leading to frank loss of nRT neurons at longer arrest times. Hypothermia does not prevent nRT injury. Interestingly, injury occurs selectively in intermediate and posterior nRT segments while sparing the anterior segment. Since all nRT segments consist exclusively of GABA-ergic neurons, we asked if GABA-ergic neurons in general are more susceptible to hypoxic-ischemic injury. Surprisingly, cortical GABA-ergic neurons, like their counterparts in the anterior nRT segment, do not degenerate in this model. Hence, we propose that GABA-ergic identity alone is not sufficient to explain selective vulnerability of intermediate and posterior nRT neurons to hypoxic-ischemic injury after cardiac arrest and resuscitation. Our current findings align the animal model of pediatric cardiac arrest with human data and suggest novel mechanisms of selective vulnerability to hypoxic-ischemic injury among thalamic GABA-ergic neurons.

Project description:BackgroundScience continues to search for a neuroprotective drug therapy to improve outcomes after cardiac arrest (CA). The use of glibenclamide (GBC) has shown promise in preclinical studies, but its effects on neuroprognostication tools are not well understood. We aimed to investigate the effect of GBC on somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) waveform recovery post CA and how this relates to the early prediction of functional outcome, with close attention to arousal and somatosensory recovery, in a rodent model of CA.MethodsSixteen male Wistar rats were subjected to 8-min asphyxia CA and assigned to GBC treatment (n = 8) or control (n = 8) groups. GBC was administered as a loading dose of 10 μg/kg intraperitoneally 10 min after the return of spontaneous circulation, followed by a maintenance dosage of 1.6 μg/kg every 8 h for 24 h. SSEPs were recorded from baseline until 150 min following CA. Coma recovery, arousal, and brainstem function, measured by subsets of the neurological deficit score (NDS), were compared between both groups. SSEP N10 amplitudes were compared between the two groups at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min post CA.ResultsRats treated with GBC had higher sub-NDS scores post CA, with improved arousal and brainstem function recovery (P = 0.007). Both groups showed a gradual improvement of SSEP N10 amplitude over time, from 30 to 120 min post CA. Rats treated with GBC showed significantly better SSEP recovery at every time point (P < 0.001 for 30, 60, and 90 min; P = 0.003 for 120 min). In the GBC group, the N10 amplitude recovered to baseline by 120 min post CA. Quantified Cresyl violet staining revealed a significantly greater percentage of damage in the control group compared with the GBC treatment group (P = 0.004).ConclusionsGlibenclamide improves coma recovery, arousal, and brainstem function after CA with decreased number of ischemic neurons in a rat model. GBC improves SSEP recovery post CA, with N10 amplitude reaching the baseline value by 120 min, suggesting early electrophysiologic recovery with this treatment. This medication warrants further exploration as a potential drug therapy to improve functional outcomes in patients after CA.
