Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Newborn pigs offer theoretical advantages for studying newborn hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain damage because of a development and structure similar to the human brain. However, the correlation between functional features and actual HI brain damage has not been reported. METHODS:Newborn pigs were examined daily for 3 days after a HI insult using amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG), and a neurobehavioral score enriched with stress and social and object interaction-driven activity evaluation. Brain damage was then assessed using histologic, immunohistochemical, and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies. Brain concentration of several neurotransmitters was determined by HPLC. RESULTS:HI insult led to aEEG amplitude decrease, muscle tone and activity impairment, eating disorders, poor environmental interaction, and increased motionless periods. Basal aEEG amplitude, muscle tone, and general behavior were the best predictive items for histological and biochemical (lactate/N-acetylaspartate ratio) brain damage. Hyperexcitable response to stress correlated inversely with brain damage. Motionless time, which correlated with brain damage severity, was inversely related to brain concentration of dopamine and norepinephrine. CONCLUSION:Standard neurologic examination of brain activity and motor and behavioral performance of newborn pigs is a valuable tool to assess HI brain damage, thus offering a powerful translational model for HI brain damage pathophysiology and management studies.
