Abstract
Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the developing and adult brain undergo many different transitions, tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. While the role of signalling pathways and transcription factors is well established, recent evidence has also highlighted mitochondria as central players in NSC behaviour and fate decisions. Many aspects of cellular metabolism and mitochondrial biology change during NSC transitions, interact with signalling pathways and affect the activity of chromatin-modifying enzymes. In this Spotlight, we explore recent in vivo findings, primarily from Drosophila and mammalian model systems, about the role that mitochondrial respiration and morphology play in NSC development and function.

Proteomic phenotype of cerebral organoids derived from autism spectrum disorder patients reveal disrupted energy metabolism, cellular components, and biological processes. Mol Psychiatry 2022; 27:3749-3759. [PMID: 35618886 DOI: 10.1038/s41380-022-01627-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
The way in which brain morphology and proteome are remodeled during embryonal development, and how they are linked to the cellular metabolism, could be a key for elucidating the pathological mechanisms of certain neurodevelopmental disorders. Cerebral organoids derived from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) patients were generated to capture critical time-points in the neuronal development, and metabolism and protein expression were investigated. The early stages of development, when neurogenesis commences (day in vitro 39), appeared to be a critical timepoint in pathogenesis. In the first month of development, increased size in ASD-derived organoids were detected in comparison to the controls. The size of the organoids correlates with the number of proliferating cells (Ki-67 positive cells). A significant difference in energy metabolism and proteome phenotype was also observed in ASD organoids at this time point, specifically, prevalence of glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, decreased ATP production and mitochondrial respiratory chain activity, differently expressed cell adhesion proteins, cell cycle (spindle formation), cytoskeleton, and several transcription factors. Finally, ASD patients and controls derived organoids were clustered based on a differential expression of ten proteins-heat shock protein 27 (hsp27) phospho Ser 15, Pyk (FAK2), Elk-1, Rac1/cdc42, S6 ribosomal protein phospho Ser 240/Ser 244, Ha-ras, mTOR (FRAP) phospho Ser 2448, PKCα, FoxO3a, Src family phospho Tyr 416-at day 39 which could be defined as potential biomarkers and further investigated for potential drug development.

NEUROPHOTONICS 2022; 9:035001. [PMID: 35874144 PMCID: PMC9298853 DOI: 10.1117/1.nph.9.3.035001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Significance: Hyperspectral near-infrared spectroscopy (hsNIRS) combined with diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) provides a noninvasive approach for monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF), the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen ( CMRO 2 ) and the oxidation state of cytochrome-c-oxidase (oxCCO). CMRO 2 is calculated by combining tissue oxygen saturation ( S t O 2 ) with CBF, whereas oxCCO can be measured directly by hsNIRS. Although both reflect oxygen metabolism, a direct comparison has yet to be studied. Aim: We aim to investigate the relationship between CMRO 2 and oxCCO during periods of restricted oxygen delivery and lower metabolic demand. Approach: A hybrid hsNIRS/DCS system was used to measure hemodynamic and metabolic responses in piglets exposed to cerebral ischemia and anesthetic-induced reductions in brain activity. Results: Although a linear relationship was observed between CMRO 2 and oxCCO during ischemia, both exhibited a nonlinear relationship with respect to CBF. In contrast, linear correlation was sufficient to characterize the relationships between CMRO 2 and CBF and between the two metabolic markers during reduced metabolic demand. Conclusions: The observed relationship between CMRO 2 and oxCCO during periods of restricted oxygen delivery and lower metabolic demand indicates that the two metabolic markers are strongly correlated.

Abstract
Term and preterm infants often present with adverse conditions after birth resulting in abnormal vital functions and severe organ failure, which are associated or sometimes caused by low oxygen and/or blood supply. Brain injury may lead to substantial mortality and morbidity often affecting long-term outcome. Standard monitoring techniques in the NICU focus on arterial oxygen supply and hemodynamics and include respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure and arterial oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry but provide only limited information on end organ oxygen delivery. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy can bridge this gap by displaying continuous measurements of tissue oxygen saturation, providing information on the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption in organs of interest. Future techniques using multi-wavelength devices may provide additional information on oxidative metabolism in real time adding important information.

Abstract
During pregnancy and infancy, the human brain is growing extremely fast; the brain volume increases significantly, reaching 36, 72, and 83% of the volume of adults at 2-4 weeks, 1 year, and 2 years of age, respectively, which is essential to establish the neuronal networks and capacity for the development of cognitive, motor, social, and emotional skills that will be continually refined throughout childhood and adulthood. Such dramatic changes in brain structure and function are associated with very large energetic demands exceeding by far those of other organs of the body. It has been estimated that during childhood the brain may account for up to 60% of the body basal energetic requirements. While the main source of energy for the adult brain is glucose, it appears that it is not sufficient to sustain the dramatic metabolic demands of the brain during its development. Recently, it has been proposed that this energetic challenge is solved by the ability of the brain to use ketone bodies (KBs), produced from fatty acid oxidation, as a complement source of energy. Here, we first describe the main cellular and physiological processes that drive brain development along time and how different brain metabolic pathways are engaged to support them. It has been assumed that the majority of energetic substrates are used to support neuronal activity and signal transmission. We discuss how glucose and KBs are metabolized to provide the carbon backbones used to synthesize lipids, nucleic acid, and cholesterol, which are indispensable building blocks of neuronal cell proliferation and are also used to establish and refine brain connectivity through synapse formation/elimination and myelination. We conclude that glucose and KBs are not only important to support the energy needs of the brain under development, but they are also essential substrates for the biosynthesis of macromolecules underlying structural brain growth and reorganization. We emphasize that glucose and fatty acids supporting the production of KBs are provided in complex food matrices, such as breast milk, and understanding how their availability impacts the brain will be key to promote adequate nutrition to support brain metabolism and, therefore, optimal brain development.

Abstract
Cerebral and somatic near-infrared spectroscopy monitors are commonly used to detect tissue oxygenation in various circumstances. This form of monitoring is based on tissue infrared absorption and can be influenced by several physiological and non-physiological factors that can induce error in the interpretation. This narrative review explores those clinical and technical limitations and proposes solutions and alternatives in order to avoid some of those pitfalls.

Abstract
We introduce a portable system for clinical studies based on time-domain diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS). After evaluating different lasers and detectors, the final system is based on a pulsed laser with about 550 ps pulsewidth, a coherence length of 38 mm, and two types of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPAD). The higher efficiency of the red-enhanced SPAD maximizes detection of the collected light, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio, while the better timing response of the CMOS SPAD optimizes the selection of late photons and increases spatial resolution. We discuss component selection and performance, and we present a full characterization of the system, measurement stability, a phantom-based validation study, and preliminary in vivo results collected from the forearms and the foreheads of four healthy subjects. With this system, we are able to resolve blood flow changes 1 cm below the skin surface with improved depth sensitivity and spatial resolution with respect to continuous wave DCS.

Abstract
Non-invasive quantitative imaging of cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO2) in small animal models is crucial to understand the role of oxidative metabolism in healthy and diseased brains. In this study, we developed a multimodal method combining near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and MRI to non-invasively study oxygen delivery and consumption in the cortex of mouse and rat models. The term CASNIRS is proposed to the technique that measures CMRO2 with ASL and NIRS. To determine the reliability of this method, CMRO2 values were compared with reported values measured with other techniques. Also, the sensitivity of the CASNIRS technique to detect changes in CMRO2 in the cortex of the animals was assessed by applying a reduction in core temperature, which is known to reduce CMRO2. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and CMRO2 were measured in five mice and five rats at a core temperature of 37 °C followed by another measurement at 33 °C. CMRO2 was 7.8 ± 1.8 and 3.7 ± 0.9 (ml/100 g/min, mean ± SD) in mice and rats respectively. These values are in good agreement with reported values measured by 15O PET, 17O NMR, and BOLD fMRI. In hypothermia, we detected a significant decrease of 37% and 32% in CMRO2 in the cortex of mice and rats, respectively. Q10 was calculated to be 3.2 in mice and 2.7 in rats. In this study we showed that it is possible to assess absolute values of metabolic correlates such as CMRO2, CBF and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) noninvasively in living brain of mice and rats by combining NIRS with MRI. This will open new possibilities for studying brain metabolism in patients as well as the many mouse/rat models of brain disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE Noninvasive measurement of cerebral venous oxygenation (Yv ) in neonates is important in the assessment of brain oxygen extraction and consumption, and may be useful in characterizing brain development and neonatal brain diseases. This study aims to develop a rapid method for vessel-specific measurement of Yv in neonates. METHODS We developed a pulse sequence, named accelerated T2 -relaxation-under-phase-contrast (aTRUPC), which consists of velocity-encoding phase-contrast module to isolate pure blood signal, flow-insensitive T2 -preparation to quantify blood T2 , and turbo-field-echo (TFE) scheme for rapid image acquisition, which is critical for neonatal MRI. A series of studies were conducted. First, the pulse sequence was optimized in terms of TFE factor, velocity encoding (VENC), and slice thickness for best sensitivity. Second, to account for the influence of TFE acquisition on T2 quantification, simulation and experiments were conducted to establish the relationship between TFE-T2 and standard T2 . Finally, the complete aTRUPC sequence was applied on a group of healthy neonates and normative Yv values were determined. RESULTS Optimal parameters of aTRUPC in neonates were found to be a TFE factor of 15, VENC of 5 cm/s, and slice thickness of 10 mm. The TFE-T2 was on average 3.9% lower than standard T2 . These two measures were strongly correlated (R2 = 0.86); thus their difference can be accounted for by a correction equation, T2,standard = 1.2002 × T2,TFE - 10.6276. Neonatal Yv values in veins draining cortical brain and those draining central brain were 64.8 ± 2.9% and 70.2 ± 3.3%, respectively, with a significant difference (P =.02). CONCLUSION The aTRUPC MRI has the potential to provide vessel-specific quantification of cerebral Yv in neonates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that cerebral oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) is elevated and inversely related to hematocrit level in anemic former very-low-birth-weight infants near term. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study of non-sedated preterm infants (post-menstrual age = 36 ± 2 weeks) over a range of hematocrits (0.23-0.49). Anatomical (T1-W, T2-W, and diffusion-weighted), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and OEF 3-T MRI were utilized. Statistical analysis included Spearman's rank-order correlation testing between study variables and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) calculated between consecutively acquired OEF scans. RESULTS Consecutive OEF measurements showed moderate-to-good agreement (ICC = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.40-0.87). OEF increased with worsening anemia (ρ = -0.58; p = 0.005), and OEF and basal ganglia CBF were positively correlated (ρ = 0.49; p = 0.023). CONCLUSION Noninvasive OEF MRI has moderate-to-good repeatability in non-sedated former preterm infants nearing term-equivalent age. Strong correlation of elevated OEF with anemia suggests hemodynamic compensation for anemia and could establish OEF as a useful biomarker of transfusion threshold for preterm infants.

Abstract
Appraising success in meeting the world's nutritional needs has largely focused on infant mortality and anthropometric measurements with an emphasis on the first 1,000 days (conception to approximately age 2 years). This ignores the unique nutritional needs of the human brain. Although the intrauterine environment and the early postnatal years are important, equally critical periods follow during which the brain's intricate wiring is established for a lifetime of experience-driven remodeling. At the peak of this process during childhood, the human brain may account for 50% of the body's basal nutritional requirement. Thus, the consequences of proper nutritional management of the brain play out over a lifetime. Our motivation in preparing this review was to move the human brain into a more central position in the planning of nutritional programs. Here we review the macro- and micronutrient requirements of the human brain and how they are delivered, from conception to adulthood.

Abstract
Traditionally, cardiovascular well-being was essentially based on whether the mean blood pressure was above or below a certain value. However, this singular crude method of assessment provides limited insight into overall cardiovascular well-being. Echocardiography has become increasingly used and incorporated into clinical care. New objective modality assessments of cardiovascular status continue to evolve and are being evaluated and incorporated into clinical care. In this review article, we will discuss some of the recent advances in objective assessment of cardiovascular well-being, including the concept of multimodal monitoring. Sophisticated haemodynamic monitoring systems are being developed, including mechanisms of data acquisition and analysis. Their incorporation into clinical care represents an exciting next stage in the management of the infant with cardiovascular compromise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment associated with childhood malnutrition and stunting is generally considered irreversible. OBJECTIVE The aim was to test a new nutritional supplement for the prevention and treatment of moderate-acute malnutrition (MAM) focused on enhancing cognitive performance. METHODS An 11-wk, village-randomized, controlled pilot trial was conducted in 78 children aged 1-3 or 5-7 y living in villages in Guinea-Bissau. The supplement contained 291 kcal/d for young children and 350 kcal/d for older children and included 5 nutrients and 2 flavan-3-ol-rich ingredients not present in current food-based recommendations for MAM. Local bakers prepared the supplement from a combination of locally sourced items and an imported mix of ingredients, and it was administered by community health workers 5 d/wk. The primary outcome was executive function abilities at 11 wk. Secondary outcomes included additional cognitive measures and changes in z scores for weight (weight-for-age) and height (height-for-age) and hemoglobin concentrations at 11 wk. An index of cerebral blood flow (CBF) was also measured at 11 wk to explore the use of this measurement as a biological index of cognitive impairment. RESULTS There were no significant differences in any outcome between groups at baseline. There was a beneficial effect of random assignment to the supplement group on working memory at 11 wk in children aged 1-3 y (P < 0.05). This difference contrasted with no effect in older children and was not associated with faster growth rate. In addition, CBF correlated with task-switching performance (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These preliminary data suggest that cognitive impairment can be monitored with measurement of CBF. In addition, the findings provide preliminary data that suggest that it may be possible to improve poor cognitive performance in young children through changes in the nutritional formulation of supplementary foods used to prevent and treat MAM. Powered studies of the new supplement formulation are needed. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03017209.

Abstract
BackgroundPost-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) is predictive of mortality and morbidity among very-low-birth-weight preterm infants. Impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) due to elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is believed to be a contributing factor.MethodsA hyperspectral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) method of measuring CBF and the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) was used to investigate perfusion and metabolism changes in patients receiving a ventricular tap (VT) based on clinical management. To improve measurement accuracy, the spectral analysis was modified to account for compression of the cortical mantle caused by PHVD and the possible presence of blood breakdown products.ResultsFrom nine patients (27 VTs), a significant CBF increase was measured (15.6%) following VT (14.6±4.2 to 16.9±6.6 ml/100 g/min), but with no corresponding change in CMRO2 (1.02±0.41 ml O2/100 g/min). Post-VT CBF was in good agreement with a control group of 13 patients with patent ductus arteriosus but no major cerebral pathology (16.5±7.7 ml/100 g/min), whereas tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) was significantly lower (58.9±12.1% vs. 70.5±9.1% for controls).ConclusionCBF was impeded in PHVD infants requiring a clinical intervention, but the effect is not large enough to alter CMRO2.

Abstract
Perinatal disturbances of brain hemodynamics can have a detrimental effect on the brain's parenchyma with consequently adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Noninvasive, reliable tools to evaluate the neonate's brain hemodynamics are scarce. Advances in magnetic resonance imaging have provided new methods to noninvasively assess brain hemodynamics. More recently these methods have made their transition to the neonatal population. The aim of this review is twofold. Firstly, to describe these newly available noninvasive methods to investigate brain hemodynamics in neonates. Secondly, to discuss the results that were obtained with these techniques, identifying both potential clinical applications as well as gaps of knowledge.

Abstract
Physiological monitoring of oxygen delivery to the brain has great significance for improving the management of patients at risk for brain injury. Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is a rapidly growing optical technology able to non-invasively assess the blood flow index (BFi) at the bedside. The current limitations of DCS are the contamination introduced by extracerebral tissue and the need to know the tissue's optical properties to correctly quantify the BFi. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a new technology for time-resolved diffuse correlation spectroscopy. By operating DCS in the time domain (TD-DCS), we are able to simultaneously acquire the temporal point-spread function to quantify tissue optical properties and the autocorrelation function to quantify the BFi. More importantly, by applying time-gated strategies to the DCS autocorrelation functions, we are able to differentiate between short and long photon paths through the tissue and determine the BFi for different depths. Here, we present the novel device and we report the first experiments in tissue-like phantoms and in rodents. The TD-DCS method opens many possibilities for improved non-invasive monitoring of oxygen delivery in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In utero exposure to inflammation results in elevated cerebral oxygen consumption. This increased metabolic demand may contribute to the association between chorioamnionitis and intraventricular haemorrhage (P/IVH). We hypothesised that intrauterine inflammation imposes an elevated cerebral metabolic load and increased fractional oxygen extraction (cFTOE) with cFTOE further increased in the presence of early P/IVH. METHODS Eighty-three infants ≤30 weeks gestation were recruited. Exposure to intrauterine inflammation was determined by placental histology. Total internal carotid blood flow (Doppler ultrasound) and near infrared spectroscopy were measured and cerebral oxygen delivery (mcerbDO2), consumption (mcerbVO2) and cFTOE were calculated on days 1 and 3 of life. Primary outcome was defined as death or P/IVH >grade II (cranial sonograph) by day 3. RESULTS Infants exposed to intrauterine inflammation had higher total internal carotid blood flow (92 vs 63 mL/kg/min) and mcerbDO2 (13.7 vs 10.1 mL/kg/min) than those not exposed to inflammation. Newborns with P/IVH had both higher oxygen consumption and extraction compared with those without sonographic injury regardless of exposure to intrauterine inflammation. Further, in preterms exposed to inflammation, those with P/IVH had higher consumption (6.1 vs 4.8 mL/kg/min) and extraction than those without injury. These differences were observed only on day 1 of life. CONCLUSIONS Although P/IVH is multifactorial in preterm newborns, it is likely that cerebral hypoxic-ischaemia plays a central pathophysiological role. These data provide a mechanistic insight into this process and suggests that the increased cerebral metabolic load imposed by the presence of inflammation results in a higher risk of critical hypoxic ischaemia in the preterm with increased susceptibility to significant P/IVH.

Abstract
Neonatal neuromonitoring is a major clinical focus of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and there is an increasing interest in measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxidative metabolism (CMRO2) in addition to the classic tissue oxygenation saturation (StO2). The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of broadband NIRS combined with diffusion correlation spectroscopy (DCS) to measured changes in StO2, CBF and CMRO2 in preterm infants undergoing pharmaceutical treatment of patent ductus arteriosus. CBF was measured by both DCS and contrast-enhanced NIRS for comparison. No significant difference in the treatment-induced CBF decrease was found between DCS (27.9 ± 2.2%) and NIRS (26.5 ± 4.3%). A reduction in StO2 (70.5 ± 2.4% to 63.7 ± 2.9%) was measured by broadband NIRS, reflecting the increase in oxygen extraction required to maintain CMRO2. This study demonstrates the applicability of broadband NIRS combined with DCS for neuromonitoring in this patient population.

Abstract
The combined monitoring of oxygen supply and delivery using Near-InfraRed spectroscopy (NIRS) and cerebral activity using amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) could yield new insights into brain metabolism and detect potentially vulnerable conditions soon after birth. The relationship between NIRS and quantitative aEEG/EEG parameters has not yet been investigated. Our aim was to study the association between oxygen utilization during the first 6 h after birth and simultaneously continuously monitored brain activity measured by aEEG/EEG. Forty-four hemodynamically stable babies with a GA < 28 weeks, with good quality NIRS and aEEG/EEG data available and who did not receive morphine were included in the study. aEEG and NIRS monitoring started at NICU admission. The relation between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) and cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (cFTOE), and quantitative measurements of brain activity such as number of spontaneous activity transients (SAT) per minute (SAT rate), the interval in seconds (i.e. time) between SATs (ISI) and the minimum amplitude of the EEG in μV (min aEEG) were evaluated. rScO2 was negatively associated with SAT rate (β=-3.45 [CI=-5.76- -1.15], p=0.004) and positively associated with ISI (β=1.45 [CI=0.44-2.45], p=0.006). cFTOE was positively associated with SAT rate (β=0.034 [CI=0.009-0.059], p=0.008) and negatively associated with ISI (β=-0.015 [CI=-0.026- -0.004], p=0.007). Oxygen delivery and utilization, as indicated by rScO2 and cFTOE, are directly related to functional brain activity, expressed by SAT rate and ISI during the first hours after birth, showing an increase in oxygen extraction in preterm infants with increased early electro-cerebral activity. NIRS monitored oxygenation may be a useful biomarker of brain vulnerability in high-risk infants.

Abstract
Because oxidative metabolism is the primary form of energy production in the brain, the amount of oxygen consumed by the brain, denoted by a physiological parameter termed cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), represents a key marker for tissue viability and brain function. Quantitative assessment of cerebral oxygen metabolism in the neonate may provide an important marker in better understanding normal brain development and in making diagnosis and treatment decisions in neonatal brain injuries. Measurement of CMRO2 in humans has been a challenging task, particularly in neonates. Recently, several promising techniques have been proposed to quantify neonatal CMRO2 and the purpose of this article is to provide a technical review of these techniques. Among these, we will focus the review on the NIRS optic based methods and MRI methods which are non-invasive, have been applied in normal and sick newborns and show great potentials. Potential clinical prospects of CMRO2 techniques are discussed in the context of their advantages, challenges and limitations.

Abstract
Bedside monitoring of cerebral circulation or oxygen metabolism in infants to appropriately manage circulation and establish the oxygen dose, aiming at improving the neurological prognosis, is needed in general clinical practice. Near-infrared spectroscopy is used for measurements of neonatal cerebral Hb oxygen saturation, cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen. Near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy is particularly useful for bedside evaluation of cerebral circulation and oxygen metabolism because of its simple measurement procedure. Combined evaluation of cerebral blood volume and cerebral Hb oxygen saturation is expected to contribute to treatment centering on the brain in neonatal medical care.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular lesions, mainly germinal matrix hemorrhage and ischemic injury to the periventricular white matter, are major causes of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants. Cerebrovascular lesions and neuromorbidity increase with decreasing gestational age, with the white matter predominantly affected. Developmental immaturity in the cerebral circulation, including ongoing angiogenesis and vasoregulatory immaturity, plays a major role in the severity and pattern of preterm brain injury. Prevention of this injury requires insight into pathogenesis. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is low in the preterm white matter, which also has blunted vasoreactivity compared with other brain regions. Vasoreactivity in the preterm brain to cerebral perfusion pressure, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and neuronal metabolism is also immature. This could be related to immaturity of both the vasculature and vasoactive signaling. Other pathologies arising from preterm birth and the neonatal intensive care environment itself may contribute to impaired vasoreactivity and ineffective CBF regulation, resulting in the marked variations in cerebral hemodynamics reported both within and between infants depending on their clinical condition. Many gaps exist in our understanding of how neonatal treatment procedures and medications have an impact on cerebral hemodynamics and preterm brain injury. Future research directions for neuroprotective strategies include establishing cotside, real-time clinical reference values for cerebral hemodynamics and vasoregulatory capacity and to demonstrate that these thresholds improve long-term outcomes for the preterm infant. In addition, stimulation of vascular development and repair with growth factor and cell-based therapies also hold promise.

Abstract
The cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) is the rate of oxygen consumption by the brain, and is thought to be a direct index of energy homeostasis and brain health. However, in vivo measurement of CMRO2 is challenging, in particular for the neonatal population, in whom conventional radiotracer methods are not applicable because of safety concerns. In this study, we propose a method to quantify global CMRO2 in neonates based on arteriovenous differences in oxygen content, and employ separate measurements of oxygenation and cerebral blood flow (CBF) parameters. Specifically, arterial and venous oxygenation levels were determined with pulse oximetry and the novel T2 relaxation under spin tagging (TRUST) MRI, respectively. Global CBF was measured with phase contrast (PC) flow velocity MRI. The proposed method was implemented on a standard 3-T MRI scanner without the need for any exogenous tracers, and the total scan duration was less than 5 min. We demonstrated the feasibility of this method in 12 healthy neonates within an age range of 35-42 gestational weeks. CMRO2 values were successfully obtained from 10 neonates. It was found that the average CMRO2 in this age range was 38.3 ± 17.7 µmol/100 g/min and was positively correlated with age (p = 0.007; slope, 5.2 µmol/100 g/min per week), although the highest CMRO2 value in this age range was still less than half of the adult level. Test-retest studies showed a coefficient of variation of 5.8 ± 2.2% between repeated CMRO2 measurements. In addition, given the highly variable blood flow velocity within this age range, it is recommended that the TRUST labeling thickness and position should be determined on a subject-by-subject basis, and an automatic algorithm was developed for this purpose. Although this method provides a global CMRO2 measure only, the clinical significance of an energy consumption marker and the convenience of this technique may make it a useful tool in the functional assessment of the neonatal population.

Abstract
Aerobic glycolysis (AG; i.e., nonoxidative metabolism of glucose despite the presence of abundant oxygen) accounts for 10%-12% of glucose used by the adult human brain. AG varies regionally in the resting state. Brain AG may support synaptic growth and remodeling; however, data supporting this hypothesis are sparse. Here, we report on investigations on the role of AG in the human brain. Meta-analysis of prior brain glucose and oxygen metabolism studies demonstrates that AG increases during childhood, precisely when synaptic growth rates are highest. In resting adult humans, AG correlates with the persistence of gene expression typical of infancy (transcriptional neoteny). In brain regions with the highest AG, we find increased gene expression related to synapse formation and growth. In contrast, regions high in oxidative glucose metabolism express genes related to mitochondria and synaptic transmission. Our results suggest that brain AG supports developmental processes, particularly those required for synapse formation and growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between cerebral and peripheral hemodynamics during the early postnatal period has not been clarified. OBJECTIVES To evaluate cerebral and peripheral oxygenation and blood volumes between term and preterm infants during the first 3 days of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy on 32 term infants (term group) and 40 preterm infants (preterm group), with an optode placed on their forehead and upper arm. The cerebral blood volume (CBV), peripheral blood volume (PBV), cerebral Hb oxygen saturation (cSO2) and peripheral Hb oxygen saturation (pSO2) were measured at 3-6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after birth. RESULTS The CBV in the term group (2.45 ± 0.47 ml/100 g) was significantly higher than that in the preterm group (1.97 ± 0.33 ml/100 g). In contrast to the CBV, the PBV in the preterm group (3.63 ± 0.76 ml/100 g) was significantly higher than that in the term group (3.26 ± 0.56 ml/100 g). In the preterm group, there was a significant positive relationship between the CBVs and PBVs at each time point except at 72 h after birth. Despite the differences in blood volumes, there were no differences in the cSO2 and pSO2 between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The contrasting results in the CBV and PBV between the term and preterm infants might be explained by differences in the maturation of the physiological mechanism to control CBV and PBV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess and quantify the effects of indomethacin on cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in preterm infants undergoing treatment for a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). METHODS CBF and CMRO2 were measured before and after the first dose of a 3-d course of indomethacin to close hemodynamically significant PDA in preterm neonates. Indocyanine-green (ICG) concentration curves were acquired before and after indomethacin injection to quantify CBF and CMRO2. RESULTS Eight preterm neonates (gestational age, 27.6 ± 0.5 wk; birth weight, 992 ± 109 g; 6 males:2 females) were treated at a median age of 4.5 d (range, 4-21 d). Indomethacin resulted in an average CBF decrease of 18% (pre- and post-CBF = 12.9 ± 1.3 and 10.6 ± 0.8 ml/100 g/min, respectively) and an OEF increase of 11% (pre- and post-OEF = 0.38 ± 0.02 and 0.42 ± 0.02, respectively) but no significant change in CMRO2 (pre- and post-CMRO2 = 0.83 ± 0.07 and 0.76 ± 0.07 ml O2/100 g/min, respectively). Corresponding mean blood pressure (BP), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), heart rate, and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension levels remained unchanged. CONCLUSION Indomethacin resulted in significant reduction in CBF but did not alter CMRO2 because of a compensatory increase in OEF.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Near-infrared spectroscopy-derived regional tissue oxygen saturation of haemoglobin (rStO2) reflects venous oxygen saturation. If cerebral metabolism is stable, rStO2 can be used as an estimate of cerebral oxygen delivery. The SafeBoosC phase II randomised clinical trial hypothesises that the burden of hypo- and hyperoxia can be reduced by the combined use of close monitoring of the cerebral rStO2 and a treatment guideline to correct deviations in rStO2 outside a predefined target range. AIMS To describe the rationale for and content of this treatment guideline. METHODS Review of the literature and assessment of the quality of evidence and the grade of recommendation for each of the interventions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS A clinical intervention algorithm based on the main determinants of cerebral perfusion-oxygenation changes during the first hours after birth was generated. The treatment guideline is presented to assist neonatologists in making decisions in relation to cerebral oximetry readings in preterm infants within the SafeBoosC phase II randomised clinical trial. The evidence grades were relatively low and the guideline cannot be recommended outside a research setting.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy measures of haemoglobin oxygen saturation are often used as an indicator of sufficient oxygen delivery to assess injury susceptibility and tissue damage. They have also often been used as a surrogate measure of oxygen metabolism. Unfortunately, these measures have generally failed to provide robust indicators of injury and metabolism. In this paper, we first review when haemoglobin oxygen saturation does work as a robust indicator, and then detail when and why it fails for assessing brain injury and breast cancer. Finally, we discuss the solution to obtain more robust measures of tissue injury and cancer by combining oxygen saturation measurements with measures of blood flow and volume to more accurately estimate oxygen metabolism.

Abstract
Impaired cerebral oxygen delivery may cause cerebral damage in preterm infants. At lower levels of cerebral perfusion and oxygen concentration, electrocerebral activity is disturbed. The balance between cerebral oxygen delivery and oxygen use can be measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and electrocerebral activity can be measured by amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG). Our aim was to determine the relationship between regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rcSO2), fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE), and aEEG. We recorded longitudinal digital aEEG and rcSO2 prospectively in 46 preterm infants (mean GA 29.5 wk, SD 1.7) for 2 hr on the 1st to 5th, 8th, and 15th d after birth. We excluded infants with germinal matrix hemorrhage exceeding grade I and recordings of infants receiving inotropes. FTOE was calculated using transcutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (tcSaO2) and rcSO2 values: (tcSaO2 - rcSO2)/tcSaO2. aEEG was assessed by calculating the mean values of the 5th, 50th, and 95th centiles of the aEEG amplitudes. The aEEG amplitude centiles changed with increasing GA. FTOE and aEEG amplitude centiles increased significantly with postnatal age. More mature electrocerebral activity was accompanied by increased FTOE. FTOE also increased with increasing postnatal age and decreasing Hb levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prone sleeping is a major risk factor for the sudden infant death syndrome and is associated with lower blood pressure and impaired arousability from sleep, both of which may be signs of cerebral hypoxia. However, the impact of sleep position on cerebral oxygenation during infancy remains unknown. We assessed the effects of sleeping position, sleep state, and postnatal age on cerebral oxygenation by measuring tissue oxygenation index (TOI) during the first 6 months of infancy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Seventeen healthy term infants (8 girls and 9 boys) were recruited as study participants. Infants were studied at ages 2 to 4 weeks, 2 to 3 months, and 5 to 6 months by use of daytime polysomnography, with additional measurements of blood pressure (Finometer, FMS Finometer Medical Systems, Amsterdam, Netherlands) and tissue oxygenation index (TOI) (NIRO 200 spectrophotometer, Hamamatsu Photonics KK, Tokyo, Japan). RESULTS In infants who slept in the prone position, TOI was lower in both quiet sleep (QS) and active sleep (AS) at age 2 to 4 weeks and in QS at age 2 to 3 months (P < .05). TOI was lower in AS compared with QS in infants aged 2 to 4 weeks (P < .05). When the infants reached 5 to 6 months of age, TOI was greater in AS (P < .05), as there was a profound decrease in TOI during QS (P < .05) over this period. No relationship was identified between blood pressure and TOI at any age. CONCLUSIONS In healthy infants cerebral oxygenation is reduced during sleep in the prone position. This reduction may underpin the reduced arousability from sleep exhibited by healthy infants who sleep prone, a finding that provides new insight into potential risks of prone sleeping and mechanisms of sudden infant death syndrome.

Abstract
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a light-based technology used to monitor tissue oxygen status. Refinements to the method since it was first described have extended its applicability to different research and clinical settings due to its non-invasiveness, instrument portability and ease of use. Classic NIRS recordings, based in the Beer-Lambert law, can be used for the trend monitoring of changes in tissue perfusion-oxygenation parting from an arbitrary zero point. However, in order to derive intermittently quantitative values in absolute terms, certain manoeuvres must be performed. More recently, the evolution of the technique has led to the development of instruments that provide an absolute value of regional hemoglobin saturation in a continuous manner. This review will focus on the physical principles of tissue spectroscopy including a brief description of the different operating principles that are currently in use or under development. The theoretical details, experimental procedures and data analysis involved in the measurements of physiological variables using NIRS will be described. The future beyond the scope of NIRS and potential lines of research will also be discussed.

Abstract
Cerebral perfusion and its relation with systemic circulation in extremely LBW (ELBW) infants in the early neonatal period are not well understood. The cerebral tissue oxygenation index (TOI) and cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) were monitored in stable 16 ELBW infants (GA <29 wk) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) at 3-6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h after birth. The left ventricular end-systolic wall stress (ESWS), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular cardiac output (LVCO), and superior vena cava (SVC) flow were also measured simultaneously using echocardiography. The ESWS increased till 18 h and then decreased; LVEF, LVCO, and SVC flow decreased till 12 h and increased thereafter. The TOI decreased till 12 h and correlated with SVC flow; FTOE increased until 12 h and then decreased. These changes in variables of NIRS and echocardiographic measurements contrasted to changes in mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), which showed trends of continuous and gradual increase after birth. We conclude that even stable ELBW infants undergo evident transitional changes in cerebral oxygenation and perfusion in the early postnatal period, which may reflect changes in cardiac function and cardiac output.

Abstract
Improving neurological care of neonates has been impeded by the absence of suitable techniques for measuring cerebral hemodynamics and energy metabolism at the bedside. Currently, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) appears to be the technology best suited to fill this gap, and techniques have been proposed to measure both cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2). We have developed a fast and reliable bolus-tracking method of determining CMRO2 that combines measurements of CBF and cerebral venous oxygenation [venous oxygen saturation (CSvO2)]. However, this method has never been validated at different levels of arterial oxygenation [arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2)], which can be highly variable in the clinical setting. In this study, NIRS measurements of CBF, CSvO2, and CMRO2 were obtained over a range of SaO2 in newborn piglets ( n = 12); CSvO2 values measured directly from sagittal sinus blood samples were collected for validation. Two alternative NIRS methods that measure CSvO2 by manipulating venous oxygenation (i.e., head tilt and partial venous occlusion methods) were also employed for comparison. Statistically significant correlations were found between each NIRS technique and sagittal sinus blood oxygenation ( P < 0.05). Correlation slopes were 1.03 ( r = 0.91), 0.73 ( r = 0.73), and 0.73 ( r = 0.81) for the bolus-tracking, head tilt, and partial venous occlusion methods, respectively. The bolus-tracking technique displayed the best correlation under hyperoxic (SaO2 = 99.9 ± 0.03%) and normoxic (SaO2 = 86.9 ± 6.6%) conditions and was comparable to the other techniques under hypoxic conditions (SaO2 = 40.7 ± 9.9%). The reduced precision of the bolus-tracking method under hypoxia was attributed to errors in CSvO2 measurement that were magnified at low SaO2 levels. In conclusion, the bolus-tracking technique of measuring CSvO2, and therefore CMRO2, is accurate and robust for an SaO2 > 50% but provides reduced accuracy under more severe hypoxic levels.

Abstract
Brain and heart development occurs simultaneously in the fetus with congenital heart disease. Early morphogenetic programs in each organ share common genetic pathways. Brain development occurs across a more protracted time-course with striking brain growth and activity-dependent formation and refinement of connections in the third trimester. This development is associated with increased metabolic activity and the brain is dependent upon the heart for oxygen and nutrient delivery. Congenital heart disease leads to derangements of fetal blood flow that result in impaired brain growth and development that can be measured with advanced magnetic resonance imaging. Delayed development results in a unique vulnerability to cerebral white matter injury in newborns with congenital heart disease. Delayed brain development and acquired white matter injury may underlay mild but pervasive neurodevelopmental impairment commonly observed in children following neonatal congenital heart surgery.

Abstract
The mechanisms for the adequate provision of oxygen to the peripheral tissues are complex. They involve control of the microcirculation and peripheral blood flow, the position of the oxygen dissociation curve including the proportion of fetal and adult haemoglobin, blood gases and viscosity. Systemic blood pressure appears to have little effect, at least in the non-shocked state. The adequate delivery of oxygen (DO(2)) depends on consumption (VO(2)), which is variable. The balance between VO(2) and DO(2) is given by fractional oxygen extraction (FOE=VO(2)/DO(2)). FOE varies from organ to organ and with levels of activity. Measurements of FOE for the whole body produce a range of about 0.15-0.33, i.e. the body consumes 15-33% of oxygen transported.

Abstract
Peripheral haemodynamics refers to blood flow, which determines oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissues. Peripheral blood flow is affected by vascular resistance and blood pressure, which in turn varies with cardiac function. Arterial oxygen content depends on the blood haemoglobin concentration (Hb) and arterial pO2; tissue oxygen delivery depends on the position of the oxygen-dissociation curve, which is determined by temperature and the amount of adult or fetal haemoglobin. Methods available to study tissue perfusion include near-infrared spectroscopy, Doppler flowmetry, orthogonal polarisation spectral imaging and the peripheral perfusion index. Cardiac function, blood gases, Hb, and peripheral temperature all affect blood flow and oxygen extraction. Blood pressure appears to be less important. Other factors likely to play a role are the administration of vasoactive medications and ventilation strategies, which affect blood gases and cardiac output by changing the intrathoracic pressure.

Abstract
With the causes of perinatal brain injuries still unclear and the probable role of hemodynamic instability in their etiology, bedside monitoring of neonatal cerebral hemodynamics with standard values as a function of age are needed. In this study, we combined quantitative frequency domain near infrared spectroscopy (FD-NIRS) measures of cerebral tissue oxygenation (StO(2)) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) with diffusion correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measures of a cerebral blood flow index (CBF(ix)) to test the validity of the CBV-CBF relationship in premature neonates and to estimate cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (rCMRO(2)) with or without the CBF(ix) measurement. We measured 11 premature neonates (28-34 weeks gestational age) without known neurological issues, once a week from one to six weeks of age. In nine patients, cerebral blood velocities from the middle cerebral artery were collected by transcranial Doppler (TCD) and compared with DCS values. Results show a steady decrease in StO(2) during the first six weeks of life while CBV remains stable, and a steady increase in CBF(ix). rCMRO(2) estimated from FD-NIRS remains constant but shows wide interindividual variability. rCMRO(2) calculated from FD-NIRS and DCS combined increased by 40% during the first six weeks of life with reduced interindividual variability. TCD and DCS values are positively correlated. In conclusion, FD-NIRS combined with DCS offers a safe and quantitative bedside method to assess CBV, StO(2), CBF, and rCMRO(2) in the premature brain, facilitating individual follow-up and comparison among patients. A stable CBV-CBF relationship may not be valid for premature neonates.

Abstract
Advances in medical and surgical care of the high-risk neonate have led to increased survival. A significant number of these neonates suffer from neurodevelopmental delays and failure in school. The focus of clinical research has shifted to understanding events contributing to neurological morbidity in these patients. Assessing changes in cerebral oxygenation and regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) is important in evaluating the status of the central nervous system. Traditional CBF imaging methods fail for both ethical and logistical reasons. Optical near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly being used for bedside monitoring of cerebral oxygenation and blood volume in both very low birth weight infants and neonates with congenital heart disease. Although trends in CBF may be inferred from changes in cerebral oxygenation and/or blood volume, NIRS does not allow a direct measure of CBF in these populations. Two relatively new modalities, arterial spin-labeled perfusion magnetic resonance imaging and optical diffuse correlation spectroscopy, provide direct, noninvasive measures of cerebral perfusion suitable for the high-risk neonates. Herein we discuss the instrumentation, applications, and limitations of these noninvasive imaging techniques for measuring and/or monitoring CBF.

Abstract
In the late 1970s, high cerebral blood flow was perceived as a cause of intracranial hemorrhage in the preterm infant. Intracranial hemorrhage was diagnosed by computed tomography and ultrasound found to be frequent not only in babies who died. Hemorrhage was soon linked to cerebral palsy in survivors. The analogy was hypertensive hemorrhagic stroke in the adult. Cerebral hemorrhage was perceived as the major (preventable) cause of brain injury in the preterm baby. An immature cerebral autoregulation or a vulnerability of the autoregulation exposed by preceding hypoxia or ischemia therefore became a focus of neonatal brain research in the 1980s. Over the years the focus has changed, first to the pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, then to the effects of pCO(2), and now 30 years later to a more comprehensive, less clearly hypothesis-driven exploration of the multitude of factors involved in cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. Meanwhile, some basic questions regarding autoregulation remain unanswered, and some concepts from the 1970s still direct clinical practice.

Abstract
With the increasing interest in treatments for neonatal brain injury, bedside methods for detecting and assessing injury status and evolution are needed. We aimed to determine whether cerebral tissue oxygenation (StO(2)), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and estimates of relative cerebral oxygen consumption (rCMRO(2)) determined by bedside frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-NIRS) have the potential to distinguish neonates with brain injury from those with non-brain issues and healthy controls. We recruited 43 neonates < or =15 days old and >33 weeks gestational age (GA): 14 with imaging evidence of brain injury, 29 without suspicion of brain injury (4 unstable, 6 stable, and 19 healthy). A multivariate analysis of variance with Newman-Keuls post hoc comparisons confirmed group similarity for GA and age at measurement. StO(2) was significantly higher in brain injured compared with unstable neonates, but not statistically different from stable or healthy neonates. Brain-injured neonates were distinguished from all others by significant increases in CBV and rCMRO(2). In conclusion, although NIRS measures of StO(2) alone may be insensitive to evolving brain injury, increased CBV and rCMRO(2) seem to be useful for detecting neonatal brain injury and suggest increased neuronal activity and metabolism occurs acutely in evolving brain injury.

Abstract
The inaccessibility of the human fetal brain to studies of perfusion and metabolism has impeded progress in the understanding of the normal and abnormal systems of oxygen substrate supply and demand. Consequently, current understanding is based on studies in fetal animals or in the premature infant (ex utero fetus), neither of which is ideal. Despite promising developments in fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Doppler ultrasound, major advances in fetal neurodiagnostics will be required before rational and truly informed brainoriented care of the fetus becomes feasible.

Abstract
The therapeutic window following perinatal hypoxia-ischemia is brief, and early clinical signs of injury can be subtle. Electroencephalography (EEG) represents the most promising early diagnostic of hypoxia-ischemia; however, some studies have questioned the sensitivity and specificity of EEG. The present study investigated the use of both near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) and amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) to detect the severity of hypoxia-ischemia after 1 h of reperfusion in newborn piglets (10 insult, 3 control). The CMRO2 was measured before and after 1 h of reperfusion from hypoxia-ischemia, the duration of which was varied from piglet to piglet with a range of 3–24 min, under fentanyl/nitrous oxide anesthesia to mimic awake-like levels of cerebral metabolism. EEG data were collected throughout the study. On average, the CMRO2 and mean aEEG background signals were significantly depressed following the insult ( P < 0.05). Mean CMRO2 and mean aEEG background were 2.61 ± 0.11 ml O2·min−1·100 g−1 and 20.4 ± 2.7 μV before the insult and 1.58 ± 0.09 ml O2·min−1·100 g−1 and 11.8 ± 2.9 μV after 1 h of reperfusion, respectively. Both CMRO2 and aEEG displayed statistically significant correlations with duration of ischemia ( P < 0.05; r = 0.71 and r = 0.89, respectively); however, only CMRO2 was sensitive to milder injuries (<5 min). This study highlights the potential for combining NIRS measures of CMRO2 with EEG in the neonatal intensive care unit to improve early detection of perinatal hypoxia-ischemia.

Abstract
This study examined the relationship between blood pressure, peripheral blood flow (PBF), and peripheral fractional oxygen extraction (FOE). Variables that may influence PBF and peripheral FOE were also measured. Measurements of PBF by near infrared spectroscopy and fractional shortening by echocardiography were made within 12 h of birth in 24 infants less than 32 wk gestation. Blood gases, Hb, temperature, and blood pressure were also measured. PBF was significantly correlated with fractional shortening (r = 0.56, p = 0.005), Po2 (r = -0.5, p = 0.01), and peripheral temperature (r = 0.52, p = 0.01). Peripheral FOE was significantly correlated with fractional shortening (r = -0.48, p = 0.02), Po2 (r = 0.52, p = 0.02), and Pco2 (r = -0.53, p = 0.008), but not with peripheral temperature. There was no significant correlation between blood pressure and either PBF or peripheral FOE. These results indicate the importance of several physiologic variables, but not blood pressure, in determining peripheral tissue oxygen delivery in sick preterm infants receiving intensive care. It adds weight to the idea that blood pressure should not be considered a surrogate for peripheral blood flow and oxygen delivery.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate long-term changes in cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and head circumference in asphyxiated infants. METHODS CBFV was measured in 83 asphyxiated and 115 healthy term infants in anterior and middle cerebral, basilar and internal carotid artery (ICA) up to the age of 60-149 days. The psychomotor development and head circumference was followed for 18 months. RESULTS. Mean CBFV was increased (p < 0.05) during the first days after asphyxia in infants with severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) (n = 25) compared to control group or infants with mild to moderate HIE (n = 58) with maximum values found at the age of 36-71.9 h: in ICA (mean [95% CI]) 31.2 (25.5-36.6) cm/s in severe HIE infants compared to 13.0 (12.2-13.9) cm/s in controls. Decreased (p < 0.0001) mean CBFV developed in severe HIE infants by the age of 21-59 days: in ICA 14.1 (11.5-16.8) cm/s compared to 22.9 (21.4-24.4) cm/s in controls. Infants with severe HIE had similar mean height but lower head circumferences compared to controls (p < 0.05) at the age of 21-59 days. CONCLUSION The high mean CBFV found in infants with severe HIE during the first days after asphyxia is temporary and low CBFV and head circumference develops by the age of 21-59 days.

Abstract
Reduced cerebral function after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia is an early indicator of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Near-infrared spectroscopy offers a clinically relevant means of detecting impaired cerebral metabolism from the measurement of the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between postinsult CMRO2 and duration of hypoxia-ischemia in piglets. Twelve piglets were subjected to randomly selected durations of hypoxia-ischemia (5-28 min) and five animals served as controls. Measurements of CMRO2 were taken before and for 24 h after hypoxia-ischemia. Histology was carried out in nine piglets (six insults, three controls) to estimate brain injury. In the first 4 h after the insult, average CMRO2 of the insult group was significantly depressed (33 +/- 3% reduction compared with controls) and by 8 h, a significant correlation developed, which persisted for the remainder of the study, between CMRO2 and the duration of ischemia. Histologic staining suggested little brain damage resulted from shorter insult durations and considerable damage from more prolonged insults. This study demonstrated that near-infrared spectroscopy could detect early changes in CMRO2 after hypoxia-ischemia for a range of insult severities and CMRO2 could be used to distinguish insult severity by 8 h after the insult.

Abstract
Hypoxic ischemic brain can result in cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and learning disabilities in surviving children. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the cerebral blood flow volume in infants complicated with brain damage after the birth. Nine term infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and 41 normal term infants were studied. Four infants with HIE suffered from CP or mental retardation, and the other five infants exhibited normal neurodevelopment. The mean blood flow velocity and diameter of the internal carotid artery and the vertebral artery were measured for 28 days. The intravascular flow volume was determined by calculating the flow velocity and the cross-sectional area. The ejection fraction and cardiac output were obtained, and the mean blood pressures were recorded. The summed flow volumes in both the ICA and VA, and the total CBFV increased after the birth in both the normal infants and the infants diagnosed with HIE with no disability complications. The total blood flow volume was significantly lower in infants with HIE and CP than in normal infants on days 0, 2, 5, 7, 10, 21, and 28, and significantly lower in infants with HIE and CP than in normal infants with HIE on days 2, 4, and 7. The ejection fraction was significantly lower in infants with HIE than in normal infants only on day 0. Our results suggest that the total cerebral blood supply is decreased in infants with HIE in those complicated with brain damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The absence of cerebral autoregulation in preterm infants has been associated with adverse outcome, but its bedside assessment in the immature brain is problematic. We used spatially resolved spectroscopy to continuously measure cerebral oxygen saturation (expressed as a tissue-oxygenation index) and used the correlation of tissue-oxygenation index with spontaneous fluctuations in mean arterial blood pressure to assess cerebral autoregulation. PATIENTS AND METHODS The tissue-oxygenation index and mean arterial blood pressure were continuously measured in very premature infants (n = 24) of mean (+/-SD) gestational age of 26 (+/-2.3) weeks at a mean postnatal age of 28 (+/-22) hours. The correlation between mean arterial blood pressure and tissue-oxygenation index in the frequency domain was assessed by using cross-spectral analysis techniques (coherence and transfer-function gain). Values of coherence reflect the strength of linear correlation, whereas transfer-function gain reflects the amplitude of tissue-oxygenation index changes relative to mean arterial blood pressure changes. RESULTS High coherence (coherence > or = 0.5) values were found in 9 infants who were of lower gestational age, lower birth weight, and lower mean arterial blood pressure than infants with coherence of < 0.5; high-coherence infants also had higher median Clinical Risk Index for Babies scores and a higher rate of neonatal deaths. Coherence of > or = 0.5 predicted mortality with a positive predictive value of 67% and negative predictive value of 100%. In multifactorial analysis, coherence alone was the best predictor of mortality and Clinical Risk Index for Babies score alone was the best predictor of coherence. CONCLUSIONS High coherence between mean arterial blood pressure and tissue-oxygenation index indicates impaired cerebral autoregulation in clinically sick preterm infants and is strongly associated with subsequent mortality. Cross-spectral analysis of mean arterial blood pressure and tissue-oxygenation index has the potential to provide continuous bedside assessment of cerebral autoregulation and to guide therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy combined with partial jugular venous occlusion (JVO) offers promise for determining cerebral venous saturation (CSvO(2)) in sick preterm infants, but has not been validated in the newborn brain or under conditions of hypoxaemia. We assessed the accuracy of the CSvO(2) estimate using cerebral venous oxygen saturation in superior sagittal sinus blood (SSSO(2)) as the 'gold standard'. Comparisons were made in seven newborn lambs over a wide range of arterial oxygen saturations (SaO(2)) of 20% to 100%. Overall, median (range) CSvO(2) was 49.8% (10.6% to 88.5%), whereas SSSO(2) was 45.5% (4.3% to 76.6%); Bland-Altman analysis revealed a mean difference (CSvO(2)-SSSO(2)) of 5.1% and limits of agreement of +/-27.4%. The change in cerebral blood volume (DeltaCBV) induced by JVO increased with SaO(2) (P<0.05). In addition, the strength of the correlation of CSvO(2) with SSSO(2) progressively improved with increasing change in total haemoglobin concentration (DeltaHbT) induced by JVO. With Bland-Altman analysis repeated for data with DeltaHbT >30 micromol cm, the mean difference (CSvO(2)-SSSO(2)) decreased to 2.4% with limits of agreement of +/-18.8%. We conclude that the accuracy of estimating CSvO(2) varies with the DeltaCBV induced by JVO. Potential differences of optical properties between the head of the lamb and the human infant suggest that caution be exercised in directly applying these data to the human newborn. Nevertheless, this critical aspect of the JVO technique needs to be taken into consideration in developing an accurate measurement for sick preterm human infants.

Abstract
Survivors of premature birth have a predilection for perinatal brain injury, especially to periventricular cerebral white matter. Periventricular white matter injury (PWMI) is now the most common cause of brain injury in preterm infants and the leading cause of chronic neurological morbidity. The spectrum of chronic PWMI includes focal cystic necrotic lesions (periventricular leukomalacia) and diffuse myelination disturbances. Recent neuroimaging studies support that the incidence of periventricular leukomalacia is declining, whereas focal or diffuse noncystic injury is emerging as the predominant lesion. In a significant number of infants, PWMI appears to be initiated by perturbations in cerebral blood flow that reflect anatomic and physiological immaturity of the vasculature. Ischemic cerebral white matter is susceptible to pronounced free radical-mediated injury that particularly targets immature stages of the oligodendrocyte lineage. Emerging experimental data supports that pronounced ischemia in the periventricular white matter is necessary but not sufficient to generate the initial injury that leads to PWMI. The developmental predilection for PWMI to occur during prematurity appears to be related to both the timing of appearance and regional distribution of susceptible oligodendrocyte progenitors. Injury to oligodendrocyte progenitors may contribute to the pathogenesis of PWMI by disrupting the maturation of myelin-forming oligodendrocytes. There has been substantial recent progress in the understanding of the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of PWMI. The oligodendrocyte progenitor is a key target for preventive strategies to reduce ischemic cerebral white matter injury in premature infants.
