Due to complex influence, such as utilization and permeability of arterial vessels to oxygen, there is a considerable difference of oxygen tension between extracellular fluid and perfusate usually used in microdialysis (30-60 Torr versus 145 Torr). Dialysate dopamine and monoamine metabolites-3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were measured under different kinds of oxygen tension solutions (145, 72, 48 Torr). In the acute and anesthetized group, dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid increased 72, 93, 86 and 65%, respectively when changing the perfusate from 145 Torr to near physiological 48 Torr, while in chronic and conscious group, carried out 72 h after surgery, these compounds showed obscure increases (only homovanillic acid produced a significant change of 14%). The different effect of perfusate oxygen tension on dialysate levels of monoamines in anesthetized and conscious rats might be caused by oxidative stress triggered by hyperoxia combined with anesthesia and surgical trauma.

Human populations are experiencing unprecedented growth and longevity with lingering knowledge gaps of the characteristics, mechanisms, and pathologies of senescence. Invasive measurements and long-term control conditions for longitudinal studies are infeasible, necessitating the need for surrogate animal models. Rats have short lifespans (2-3 years) with translatable cardiovascular systems, and Sprague Dawley microcirculatory preparations are key to studying the oxygen transport mechanisms critical to the loss of skeletal muscle function in aging.

In patients with acute brain injury (ABI), optimizing cerebral perfusion parameters relies on multimodal monitoring. This include data from systemic monitoring-mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO), hemoglobin levels (Hb), and temperature-as well as neurological monitoring-intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities. We hypothesized that these parameters alone were not sufficient to assess the risk of cerebral ischemia.

Introduction: Preclinical studies have shown that oxygen therapy can improve ischaemic brain tissue oxygen tension, reduce reperfusion injury after revascularisation, promote neuroregeneration and inhibit inflammatory responses potentially exerting a beneficial effect after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). However, the optimal fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) during EVT under general anaesthesia is currently unknown. Therefore, we are conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of high-concentration oxygen vs low-concentration normobaric oxygen on early neurological function after EVT.

Hypoxia, a condition of oxygen tension lower than physiological level, plays a crucial role in shaping the tumor microenvironment and modulates distinct cell populations activity. The tumor suppressor PTEN regulates angiogenesis, a process involving endothelial cells (ECs). Pathological in tumors, it is crucial for growth.

Article Synopsis
- Prompt emergence from general anesthesia is essential after neurosurgery to identify complications quickly; delays can occur due to anesthetics, metabolic issues, or intracranial problems.
- The sunset sign—downward eye deviation—can indicate increased intracranial pressure or midbrain issues, commonly seen in conditions like hydrocephalus.
- In a case study, a woman with a pineal mass showed delayed awakening and the sunset sign after surgery, leading to a CT scan that revealed tension pneumocephalus causing midbrain compression with critically high intracranial pressure.
