The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen in Necrotising Soft Tissue Infections: A Historical Perspective with an Update
anno 2008
D. J. Bakker, MD, PhD.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Introduction:
Necrotizing soft tissue infections caused by aerobic, anaerobic and mixed bacterial floras are a still increasing problem in
surgical and medical practice. They occur with increasing frequency and seriousness, especially in immune-compromised
patients.
The clinical picture can vary considerably from patient to patient. Treatment is difficult, often irrational and very often "one
step behind the facts," because early recognition is difficult and etiology, bacteriology, and the clinical course are
sometimes not well understood or expected to evolve in a different and more favourable way. Hyperbaric Oxygen
treatment (HBOT) is a highly controversial issue in the literature.
Considerable morbidity occurs in these diseases and the mortality can be very high, from 20% up to 70 or 80%.
Odstraněno: aetiology
History:
For a proper understanding it is necessary to give a short review of the history of these infections including the
bacteriology and the various forms of treatment that have been advocated and practised.
th
In this review we will pay attention to the works of Hippocrates from the 5 century BC, Baurienne (1764), Hebler (1848)
and Jean Alfred Fournier (1883), a French venereologist,
Also the work by the Confederate Army Surgeon Joseph Jones will be mentioned who described a variant of this disease
in 1869 and 1870 during the Civil War in the United States.
Very relevant are also the works of Meleney and Cullen (1924) en Brewer and Meleney (1926). Meleney reported about
his work in the Imperial Hospital In Peking (now Beijing) in China.
Extensive reviews on necrotizing soft tissue infections including Fournier’s gangrene have been published and can be
found in the literature (Bakker 2002, Bakker 2008).
The immense confusion in the nomenclature and the classification of these diseases will be explained.
The role of Hyperbaric Oxygen in the treatment of these disease started in 1959 when Boerema and Brummelkamp
treated a patient with Gas Gangrene in the Hyperbaric Chamber (HBOT). The first Congress on HBOT was held in
Amsterdam in 1963, now 45 years ago.
Material and Methods:
We will restrict ourselves in this presentation to Clostridial Myonecrosis or Gas Gangrene and Necrotising Fasciitis or
Fourniers Gangrene.
a. Necrotising Fasciitis (NF) is a progressive, generally rapid spreading, inflammatory process located in the deep fascia
with secondary necrosis of subcutaneous tissues and skin. The infection tends to spread very rapidly along the deep
fascial planes. There is confusion in the literature about the microorganisms that cause NF. Haemolytic Streptococci play
a major role in the onset of the disease. Later on in the disease one can find many more microorganisms, from which their
role in the disease is not clear. A rapid diagnosis is essential for treatment and prognosis. Treatment is a combination of
proper, early and extensive surgery, antibiotics and adjunctive HBOT. The grade of evidence for using HBOT in the
treatment will be shown from the literature data and our own experiences.
b. Clostridial Myonecrosis or Gas Gangrene is an acute, rapidly progressive, non-pyogenic, gasforming and necrotising
infection of muscles, subcutaneous tissues and skin. The infection is caused by anaerobic spore-forming bacteria of the
genus Clostridium. Although the prognosis of the disease is improved by modern antibiotics and intensive care treatment,
the mortality and morbidity is still high, especially without HBOT. A rapid diagnosis has to be made, immediately followed
by HBOT, not losing any time by performing initial surgery. The patients are too ill for surgery. Treatment consists of
immediate HBOT and antibiotics, followed by, if necessary, surgical measures secondarily. This treatment has proven its
use in several thousands of patients treated in this way, with constant good results over the years.
Here also an update will be give about the best treatment modality anno 2008 and the evidence based reasons for that
from the literature and from our own results.
c. Evidence based medicine in HBOT (EBHM) is the combination of old and trusted clinical skills completed by and if
necessary also corrected by the critically appraised best available scientific research results and the evaluation of care.
The idea is to move beyond clinical experience and physiological principles to rigorous evaluations of the consequences
of clinical actions. These evaluations are in too many indications in hyperbaric medicine, non-existent. When looking for
the evidence of HBOT in infectious diseases several steps have to be taken. First of all the clinical problem has to be
appropriately formulated and the correct diagnosis has to be made. Therefore clinical expertise is required. Nothing can
Odstraněno: sthese
diseases
substitute for clinical expertise in determining the specific considerations relevant to the individual patient. Clinical skills
are necessary for EBHM plus an understanding of how the patients values affect the balance between advantages and
disadvantages of the available treatment options, and the ability to appropriately involve the patient in the decision. Every
decision taken on the basis of education and experience should, however, also be based on results of trials and
evaluations. In this way we can define HBOT as a primary mode of treatment or as an adjunctive mode. We must be
careful not to move the focus of clinical practice away from the care of individuals to the care of populations, lacking than
the ability to apply this knowledge back to our individual patient. The Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial (RCT) is
nowadays the gold standard in EBHM, but we must not forget that there is more evidence than that, that has to be taken
into account when judging HBOT.
Conclusion:
After a short description of soft tissue infections in the history of medicine, the state of the art in diagnosis and treatment of
some special forms of soft tissue infections, eg. necrotising fasciitis and clostridial myonecrosis is shown.
Especially the evidence based character of treatment with Hyperbaric oxygen based on own experiences and reports from
the literature is described.

Role of Tissue Oximetry in Assessment of Problem Wounds
Paul J. Sheffield, PhD;
International ATMO, Inc, Nix Wound Healing Center, San Antonio, Texas, USA
Transcutaneous oximetry (PtcO2) is commonly used to determine treatment options for problem wounds: surgical remedy,
adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2), or standard wound care. HBO2 wound healing candidates are selected by
assessing whether the wound area is hypoxic and if it will respond to respired oxygen. There are five PtcO2 tests
commonly used to evaluate wound patients.
1. Evaluate whether wound healing is complicated by severe hypoxia. Test 1: Measure a PtcO2 baseline air value at 1 atm
abs. Hypoxia exists if PtcO2 is less than 40 mmHg. The lower the PtcO2 value, the more severe is the hypoxia.
2. Evaluate whether wound healing is complicated by peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Test 2: Elevate the leg (30˚).
Disease is present if PtcO2 remains diminished more than 10 mmHg while leg is elevated.
3. Evaluate whether the wound area responds to respired O2. Test 3: Conduct an oxygen challenge at 1 atm abs. Values
on respired oxygen should reach at least 35 mmHg and should rise at least 50% above air PtcO2 values.
4. Evaluate whether the wound area responds to respired HBO2. Test 4 (Alternate to Test 3): Conduct an oxygen
challenge at 2-2.5 atm abs. Values on HBO2 should be at least 100 mmHg (preferably 200 mmHg).
5. Evaluate whether the wound is to the point where it will heal without further HBO2 treatment. Test 5: Repeat PtcO2
baseline air value at 1 atm abs in 3-4 wk intervals. Normalized baseline values indicate that healing process is in place.

The Indication of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and for Orthopaedics in Japan
Mahito Kawashima, Takashi Yamaguchi
Kawashima Orthopaedic Hospital, Japan
In Japan, two types of standards of indication of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) are set. One is established by
Japanese Society of Hyperbaric and Undersea Medicine (JSHUM) and another is by the Ministry of Health, Labor and
Welfare for public medical insurance. Most cases are treated with the standard of the Ministry of Health, Labor and
Welfare, because of the medical serv. system for the whole nation in Japan. This standard, the disease is classified into
two types, emergency/non-emergency. The fee for treatment is different between emergency and non-emergency,
multiplace chamber and monoplace chambers. In the case of multiplace chamber, the fee for emergency is \60,000
( US$545) per usage time of HBO. In the case of monoplace chamber, the fee for emergency is \50,000 ( US$454) per
usage of HBO. The fee for non-emergency is \2,000 ( US$18) par usage of HBO, in the case of non-emergency the fee is
no different, multiplace or monoplace chambers.
The standard of indication of HBO by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is as following.
Emergency: Acute carbon monoxide poisoning, Gas poisoning, Air gas embolism, Decompression illness, Acute
peripheral vessel trouble, Thermal burns, Frostbite, Crush injury, Peripheral vessel trouble by trauma, Shock, Acute
myocardial infarction, Cerebral embolism, Severe head injury, Disturbance of consciousness or brain edema after
craniotomy, Hypoxic brain dysfunction, Intestinal atresia, occlusion of retinal artery, Sudden deafness, Acute spinal cord
injury.
Non emergency: Malignant tumor with carcinostatic or radiation therapy, Refractory ulcer, Skin graft, SMON,
Cerebrovascular disorder, Severe head injury, Motor paralysis after craniotomy, sequelae of carbon monoxide poisoning,
Spinal nerve disorder, Osteomyelitis, Radiation necrosis.
According to the research on March 2008, 51 multiplace chambers and 805 monoplace chambers have been working in
644 facilities in Japan.
Kawashima Orthopaedic Hospital specializes in orthopaedic surgery, has 93 beds for admission and two multiplace
hyperbaric chambers. The one has worked since 1984 and the other has worked since 1989. Kawashima Clinic is
juxtaposition clinic of Kawashima Orthopaedic Hospital. A multiplace hyperbaric chamber has been there since April
2005.
The main indications of HBO in orthopaedic surgery are Gas gangrene, Acute spinal cord injury, Crush injury,
Osteomyelitis and Refractory ulcer. HBO is expected for these disorders as inhibition and prevention for infection,
promotion of recover of damaged cells, promotion of angiogenesis and improvement of edema. The total number of cases
is 7,324 cases from 1981 to 2007 in Kawashima Orthopaedic Hospital. In these, Main orthopaedic disorders are 630
osteomyelitis, 183 crush injury, 76 spiral cord injury, 41 gas gangrene and 375 ulcer/necrosis.

Decompression illness (DCI) affects some 1500 divers every year. Although DCI is relatively rare, two thirds of these
divers develop neurological manifestations.
The empirical use of additional deep safety stops by recreational divers has become popular in recent years. However,
these arbitrary procedures have not been evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
In order to establish appropriate and practical recommendations relevant to typical recreational divers, a series of studies
were designed to evaluate the effect of adding deep stops of varying durations (1 to 10 minutes) at half-the-depth of the
dive – Half Depth Deep Stops (HDDS) – with or without shallow stops at 5 meters (1 to 10 minutes), in the typical
recreational diving range of 18 to 40 MSW.
The introduction of a HDDS generally reduced post-dive precordial Doppler detectable venous gas emboli (PPDDVGE),
with an overall decrease of High Bubble Grades compared to the same dives without HDDS.
The data suggest that the inclusion of a HDDS on dives between 25 and 30 MSW, with Bottom Times of 25 minutes or
less (i.e., the typical dive profiles performed by recreational divers) reduces decompression stress as measured by
PPDDVGE.
The value of HDDS in reducing PPDDVGE was not as evident for shallower (18 – 21 MSW) and deeper dives (40 MSW),
when brought to the limit of the respective No-D bottom time according to USN Dive Tables, and showed conflicting
results.
Further investigation is now being planned to unravel the apparent ambiguity of HDDS at these depths.

An Overview of Diving and Diving Medicine in China
Tao Hengyi, Sun Xuejun, Liu Wenwu, Sun Qiang, Mao Ding
Department of Diving Medicine, Faculty of Naval Medicine, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China
This article presents a brief history of diving and diving medicine in China, especially the developmental track of diving
and diving medicine, as well as symbolic achievements in this field since the founding of New China. It also provides an
overview of research on submarine escape or rescue in the Chinese Navy.
1. A brief history of diving and diving medicine in China
Diving is an important means of human fighting against and adapting to Nature. But there is no textual research about
when and where diving was started and who pioneered it. According to Shang Shu (the Book of History) published in the
st
21 century BC in China, there were already people who used pearls and beads from seabed as tributes to Yu Empire in
st
ancient China, indicating that the Chinese people started their diving activities as early as in the 21 century BC.
Nevertheless, the primitive purpose of human diving was for survival rather than for material contributions. During nearly
50 years from 1900 when China began using modern diving apparatus (Hookah diving apparatus and manual pumps) to
the eve the founding of new China, there were only a few diving units with fewer than 100 divers and shabby equipment,
much less diving safety operation regulations, and there were few people who had professional knowledge of diving
medicine, let alone diving medical supervision systems. The maximum diving depth was about 20 meters. Diving
accidents happened frequently, and the incidence of diving disease was high. Once divers were diseased, nobody helped
them. Therefore, many divers were handicapped by lifetime diving illnesses, and the case-fatality rate remained at a high
level.
After the founding of new China, under the attendance and care of the Chinese Communist Party and the people’s
government the diving cause in New China has a new lease of life and develops flourishingly. Diving facilities are being
built up in succession. Right after the founding of the Chinese Navy, arescue-salvation force was set up, which has been
expanded and reinforced increasingly. The Ministry of Communications established marine rescue & salvage bureaus in
Shanghai, Guangzhou and Yantai. The Ministry of Petroleum and the Ministry of Railways also established specific diving
units. The number of professional divers is on the increase and their diving skills are becoming more sophisticated. Diving
technology has now been widely used in economic constructions (such as tapping and exploitation of seabed resources),
military activities (such as submarine rescue and underwater reconnaissance), scientific research and sports. Diving
medicine has been developing out of nothing and expanding increasingly. In 1954 the Institute of Naval Medicine was
inaugurated in China, which includes a research department specialized in diving medicine. In 1960, the Faculty of Naval
Medicine was extended in Shanghai Second Military Medical University, which is the only institution of higher learning that
can train diving physicians in China. Today diving medicine in China is essentially appropriate to the development of
diving technology and the demand of divers’ safety and health. To facilitate academic exchange in diving and diving
medicine, in 1980 Shanghai took the lead and established the first Hyperbaric Medicine Society in China. In 1982 the
Chinese Navigation Society also established the Diving Rescue & Salvage Committee. As you know, Chinese Society on
Hyperbaric Medicine was established in 1992.
Before the Cultural Revolution, China carried on a close-door policy and did not know about the world, and the world knew
even less about China. Before 1987 when Professor LI Wen-ren and NI Guo-tang, two senior masters in diving
th
and hyperbaric medicine in China, first attended the 9 International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine, not a few
international scholars in this field even had no idea about whether China had diving operation deeper than 30 meters. So,
when Professor Ni presented his MSc thesis at the meeting, a delegate even raised such a question, “Is there diving
operation deeper than 30 meters in China?” It is DENG Xiao-ping’s open-to-the-outside-world policy that enables the
world to know about China and enables China to know about the world. Today, I’d like to take this opportunity to let the
world know more about China, especially about China’s diving and diving medicine.
2. The developmental track of diving and diving medicine in New China
The first article about diving decompression sickness (DCS) was officially published in 1955. In 1960 China began using
hyperbaric equipment for clinical hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The research and development of the surface
decompression table and the underwater stage decompression table of air diving were started in 1961 and ended with
success in 1965. They were put to practical use by the Chinese Navy in 1977. Civil diving operations in China also follow
these tables. The use of the Navy decompression tables plays an extremely important role in reducing the incidence of
DCS and in guaranteeing divers’ safety and health.160-msw deep heliox diving training was first started in 1962 in China.
During the construction of Nanjing Changjiang Bridge in 1964, a total of 544 time-person air diving operations were
undertaken to a depth of 66 meters, where the technique of surface decompression using oxygen was used without
causing a single case of DCS, reaching the world advanced level. The first practical use of deep heliox diving was in 1965
in inspecting the quality of bridge piers, reaching the depth of 83 meters. In 1969, the scuba diving equipment was
developed successfully in China. The first experiment of 200-msw heliox simulated diving was undertaken in 1970. In
1973 two divers used air diving into a mud cave equivalent to 92 msw to salvage a lost large drill. Although the attempt
failed because of nitrogen narcosis, this was the greatest depth that air diving has been reached in the world. In 1975
deep heliox diving reached 156 mfw in China. In 1976 the first experiment of human simulated air saturation diving was
undertaken, the saturation depth being 20 msw. In 1977 the first experiment of human simulated nitrox saturation diving
was undertaken, reaching the saturation depth of 20-36.5 msw. During the experiment, air excursion diving successfully
reached 50-70 msw in all 181 time-persons. In 1977 a diver, Mr Long, air dived to 64 meters and worked at the bottom for
25 min. But unfortunately, he was out of control and blew up to surface suddenly. As soon as he reached surface, he was
paralyzed and comatose. To save this severe DCS diver, Mr. MU Ze-ling, a military diving physician accompanied the
patient to the hyperbaric chamber, where the pressure was raised to 11 ATA using compressed air to meet the need of
the patient’s condition. They stayed at the maximum pressure for 60 min, and the total duration of decompression was 85
h and 55 min. The patient was saved successfully. This is the maximum air pressure to which humans have been exposed.
This practice reverses the previous inference that “human exposed to compressed air ≧ 11 ATA is bound to cause
unconsciousness and narcotic coma”. Generally speaking, when the chamber pressure is ≧6-7 ATA, the mixture of heliox
should be inhaled to prevent nitrogen narcosis. But as most hyperbaric chambers in China did not have the condition of
inhaling heliox at that time, inhalation of 11 ATA compressed air was the last straw to save the patient’s life. This is also a
full reflection of how dedicated the Chinese medical workers are in rescuing the wounded and saving the dying. Mr. MU is
not only a military diving physician but also a teacher of diving medicine in the Department of Diving Medicne, Faculty of
Naval Medicne, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai China. Owing to his selflessness and dedication, Mr. MU
was honored as “Model Teacher” in 1978 by the Central Military Committee. In 1979 two experiments of simulated nitrox
saturation diving were undertaken in China: the saturation depth of the first experiment was 36.5 msw for 26 days, during
which air excursion reached 60-75 msw in 76 time-persons, and the saturation depth of the second experiment was 50
msw for 12 days. Both experiments were successful, taking the lead in the world both in nitrox saturation depth and
duration of nitrox saturation exposure. Up to now, no nitrox saturation diving experiment has been reported to exceed the
record of 50 msw and 12-day stay. In the same year, an on-the-spot nitrox saturation diving operation was performed,
reaching 36.5 msw and staying at saturation depth for 6 days, during which air excursion reached 64 msw in 14
time-persons. Marine in situ practices in China have demonstrated that the results of these simulated nitrox saturation
diving experiments are convincing, reliable and practicable. Still, in 1979 the first experiment of simulated helioxsaturation
diving was undertaken, reaching the saturation depth of 120 msw and 2-day stay at saturation depth, during which the
excursion depth reached 165 msw in 3 time-persons. During 1977-1980, a famous salvage project was completed
successfully in salvaging a Japanese sunken ship called “AWAMARU”in a depth of 48-69 msw. The operation used air
diving throughout, involving 13604 time-persons. This has been the largest and longest salvage project in China, in which
only 80 cases of DCS occurred with an overall incidence of 0.59%. In 1980 three Chinese Navy divers succeeded in
locking out from a submarine at a depth of 205 msw during their study in France Navy. In 1980 the first treatment table for
air diving DCS was developed in China and has been proved to be therapeutically good. In 1981 an experiment of
simulated heliox saturation diving was undertaken, during which three divers stayed at a depth of 302 meters for 43 h, and
returned to surface safely and successfully after 12-day decompression. In 1982 the first deep submergence rescue
vehicle (DSRV) designed and manufactured by China with self-dominated intellectual property rights cruised its first
voyage. In 1989 an experiment of simulated heliox saturation diving was undertaken by the Chinese Navy, in which four
divers stayed at the depth of 350 msw for 3 days (72 h and 10 min), and excursion diving reached 370-374 msw in 8
time-persons. After 14-day decompression all four divers returned to surface safely. That was the deepest record of
saturation diving in Asia at that time. In 1997 the Chinese Navy conducted a heliox saturation diving training on the sea,
the storage depth of which was 120 mswn for 48 h, during which the excursion dive reached 149 msw in 8 time-persons.
In 2001 the Chinese Navy conducted two heliox saturation diving trainings. The saturation depth of the first training was
140 msw for 48 h, during which the excursion dive reached 166 msw in 8 time-persons, and that of the second training
was 160 msw for 48 h, during which the excursion dive reached 182 msw in 4 time-persons. It was in 2006 that saturation
diving was first used for commercial purposes. During October to December 2006, Shanghai Salvage Bureau undertook a
commercial heliox saturation diving operation for replacing oil pipes at a depth of 96 msw in South China Sea; the
maximum depth of excursion diving was 105 msw. During August to November 2007, Shanghai Salvage Bureau
undertook a 115-msw commercial heliox saturation diving operation in the South China Sea Oil Field for clearing,
measuring and installing oil pipes; the maximum depth of excursion diving was 124 msw. In April 2008, the same
company undertook a 135-msw commercial heliox saturation diving operation for the same tasks as the previous ones;
the maximum depth of excursion diving was 153 msw. In these commercial operations, PPO2 at the saturation depth was
maintained at 0.4-0.5 ATA; PPCO2 was maintained at <0.0055 ATA; chamber temperature was 28.1-30.5℃; and relative
humidity was 56.6-81.1%. During the process of decompression, PPO2 in the chamber was raised to 0.6 ATA. The whole
compression was divided into two phases: at first, the pressure was raised to 5 msw using 20/80 He-O2, and the second,
the pressure was continued to compress to saturation depth using 2/98 He-O2 at a rate of 1-2 m/min.The saturation
decompression rate was controlled at 40-60 min/m. During these commercial saturation diving operations, except two
cases of skin infection, no other medical problems occurred because of excellent diving medical supervision.
3. Submarine Escape in China
Submarines are among the most important combat weapons for the navy and specially favored by the navy because of
their good stealth and strong assaulting ability. But like aeroplanes that may be threatened by air crashes and automobiles
that are likely to be involved in road accidents, submarines have their own problems. In exercises or combat operations,
submarines may run on collisions and rocks, or have mechanical problems, or lose the floating ability when they are
attacked by the enemy. It is roughly estimated that from 1900 to 2001 a total of 434 submarine accidents happened during
the peace-time training exercises in American, Russian, British and French armed forces, excluding those that are not
reported because of confidential reasons. These accidents involved 176 sunken submarines at least killing 2900 crew
members. The most astonishing accident was Russian Kursk submarine due to torpedo explosion on August 12, 2000.
The submarine sank to the 108 msw sea floor killing 118 soldiers and officers on the ship. To preserve living strength,
timely and effective rescue measures must be taken to help the survivors escape from the wrecks. Therefore, how to help
crews escape from the wrecks has long been the focus of attention for navies of all countries. The earliest study on
submarine escape techniques and methods in the world was in 1851. As the submarine force in China was established at
a relatively late time, the study on submarine escape techniques and methods was started in 1960, but has been
progressing quickly. In 1970, type 2-8 submarine escape equipment and the decompression table for submarine escape
were developed successfully, by which individual escape in the depth of 120 msw can be effected. Individual escape
follewed by mass escape would provide escape from a 200 msw depth. Subsequently, studies on fast ascent and its
medical supervision were started. During 1976-1979, simulated 10-310 msw animal experiments were conducted, and in
1980 experiments were performed on humans. In 1983, the human simulated 100 msw fast ascent experiment was
accomplished successfully. In 1987, the submarine escape training from the depth of 52 msw through the torpedo tube
was accomplished. This is an important creation of the Chinese Navy, because fast ascent from submarine in other
countries is implemented through a specific one man escape chamber (OMEC) on the submarine. It has been confirmed
by practice that submarine escape from torpedo tube is feasible. In 2002, the study of simulated 153 msw fast ascent was
successfully accomplished and created the deepest record of fast ascent for submariners in Asia, thus upgrading China’s
research in this field to the world advanced level.

Commercial dive work has been strictly controled in Japan, so there were few accident cases recently. According to our
data which we have consulted since 1995, the DCS incidence was 0.095 % ( 31 bends per 32,639 dive ) in air dive within
60 m depth and 0.099 % ( 3 bends per 3,038 dive ) in heliox dive works from 30 to 90 m depth. In saturation diving work
by heliox within 200 m depth, it has been 0.38 % ( 2 bends in 529 dive ) since 1983. We have used different dive
methods like as scuba, air line, bell and saturation. And also deffernt decompression tables like as the Japanese or U.S.
Navy standard, surface, and/or our original tables included saturation, however it depends on the dive conditions. This
result has been evaluated as considerably better than other commercial dive companies in Japan.
However in recrational or fishermen divers, there have been recognized near 40 to 50 diving accidences and 20 to 30
divers have died in each year. And some of them have died by the cause of DCS or AGE. Their diving profiles and the
continued decompression methods are obviously risky or self-seeking. So we have developed a new analyzer system to
evaluate dive profile through integration of the nitrogen gas accumulation in each body tissue from 5 to 240 min half
saturation time. We can calculate the accumulated tisue gas tension during diving activity in each 5 second and can
judge whether the diving profile has the risk of DCS or not at the surface by means of compareing it with Workman’s M
Value.
Japanese standard regulation has now been looking again and it will bocome to better and safer working field in near
future.

Spinal cord injuries are still among the conditions, which are extremely difficult to treat.
Damage of the nerve strands embedded in the lumen of the spinal cord often results in permanent paraplegia. In addition
to direct damage to the spinal cord through ruptures and crushes, the injured tissue suffers from a lack of oxygen in the
aftermath of an accident. This causes the cascading release of various tissue hormones like cytokines and prostaglandins,
which lead to the swelling of tissue, local inflammation and, ultimately, cell death. These processes cause additional
damage to the site of the injury and often result in irreversible damage. The basic principle of surgical therapy for thoracic
and lumbar spinal cord injuries relies on decompression, reposition and the subsequent stabilization of the unstable
segment. In addition, early administration of methylprednisolone, ideally already at the site of the accident, is
recommended.
These treatments ultimately aim at improving the tissue’s blood supply and restoring aerobic cell metabolism as quickly as
possible. This is the rationale for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Analogous to the treatment of crush trauma, HBO results in a
rapid reoxygenation of tissue, which helps to maintain viability and can thus reduce the loss of function.
CNS injuries will cause local changes within a few minutes. These changes not only occur in neurons but also in glia cells.
In contrast to CNS neurons, peripheral neurons are able to cover a greater distance downstream of the site of the injury,
and there, to form synapses to transfer excitation signals to their target cells. By contrast, CNS neurons stop the process
of regeneration immediately once they have reached the site of the injury. The rapidly forming gliatic scar prevents
continuing axonal growth (Müller et al. 2005, Stichel et al. 1998). The inhibition of cellular collagen synthesis leads to the
permeability of the lesion scar for regrowing axons (Müller et al. 2005).
In a study by Murakami (2001), the neurological functions of rabbits with spinal cord ischemia improved when HBO
therapy was initiated after 30 minutes. However, no improvement was seen when therapy was started after 6 h. Huang
(2003) also observed an improved neurological recovery from spinal trauma in rats when HBO therapy was given.
Likewise, Gamache (1980) could demonstrate a more rapid recovery of motor scores in spinal cord trauma after early
HBO therapy. In the Trauma Center Murnau, 35 out of 40 patients with acute traumatic paraplegia showed a significant
improvement under hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Asamoto et al (2000) could also achieve a significant improvement under
hyperbaric conditions. Likewise, Ishihara et al. (1997) observed a positive effect for the application of hyperbaric oxygen
therapy.
In the Trauma Center Murnau a randomised study design was developed, which is presented herein.
The positive effect could be confirmed in several trials. If this effect is solely due to the swell-reducing effect and the
improved oxygenation has not been adequately studied. The application of hyperbaric oxygenation after ordinary injuries
has shown that its application results in reduced scar formation, i.e. collagen production, which could be another reason
for the positive effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in spinal cord injuries.
Further studies on the possible changes in collagen production under hyperbaric conditions would be desirable.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Acute Traumatic Peripheral Ischemic Diseases
Wang Gang M.D. Ph.D. Emergency Dept & Hyperbaric Oxygen Dept.
First Affiliated Hospital, China Medical University, Shenyang, China
HBO can be used as adjunctive therapy for trauma patients with crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute
traumatic peripheral ischemia (ATPI). The rationale for HBOT is the need to counter the effects of tissue hypoxia arising
as a direct consequence of vascular injury and as a secondary consequence of trauma and infection.
Physiological and Pharmacological Basis of HBO Therapy for ATPI
1.Hyperoxygenation. 2.Increasing in oxygen diffusion distances. 3.Promoting cellular proliferation, accelerating collagen
deposition. 4.Stimulating capillary budding and arborization. 5. Modulating nitric oxide production. 6.Possibly preventing
iNOS up-regulation. 7.Enhancing oxygen radical scavengers, reducing neutrophil endothelial adherence, thereby
decreasing I/R injury. 8.Vasoconstriction and reduction of edema. 9.Maintenance of cellular function. 10. Accelerating
microbial oxidative killing. 11.Improving select antibiotic exchange across menbrances. 12. Interfering with bacterial
propagation.
Crush injury/ Skeletal muscle-compartment syndromes
Crush injury and skeletal muscle-compartment syndrome (SMCS) are two related conditions that arise as a consequence
of trauma. Common features include ischemia and hypoxia at the injury site, a gradient of injury, and the potential for self
perpetuation of the injury.
1. Etiology
2. Pathophysiology
3. Ischemia
4. Edema
5. Gradient of injury
The principles of treatment for crush injury
Surgical and orthopedic interventions for crush injury are based on the type of injury and should be independent of the
decision whether or not to use HBO. That is, HBO should not be used as an excuse to delay surgery or not do surgery.
However, when the decision to use HBO is made, it should be started as soon after the injury as possible. If there are
delays in starting surgery, And HBO is available, it should be given while awaiting the availability of the operating room.
Scheme of Adjunctive HBO Therapy
There is no single ideal protocol for using HBO in crush injury. Treatment schedules are largely a function of clinical
judgment and experience. The maintenance of tissue oxygenation is critical in the immediate post injury period.
The management of Skeletal-Muscle Compartment Syndrome
The diagnosis of compartment syndrome is based on the mnemonic of “five Ps. The monitoring of the pressure in
compartment is important for evaluation of the condition and progression of injured tissue.
The principle of therapy for SMCS
Management of the established SMCS is fasciotomy. This decompresses the muscle and immediately lowers the
compartment pressure, thereby restoring perfusion to the contents of the compartment.
Convincing laboratory studies and clinical researches show statistically significant reduction, in loss of muscle function,
metabolites associated with muscle injury, edema and muscle necrosis with HBO.
Scheme of Adjunctive HBO Therapy
HBOT in Flap Reconstruction and Skin Grafts
Normal skin grafts and flaps with adequate blood supply do not requir HBO. HBO therapy is extremely useful where the
skin grafts or flaps suffer from compromised microcirculation or hypoxia. The benefits of HBO on flaps arise from a
systemic elevation in oxygen tension rather than a local effect. In addition, HBO therapy prevents neutrophil adherence
and subsequent vasoconstriction following ischemia.
Compromised Flaps
Too frequently, a compromised flap is allowed to progress over the days following surgery until visible signs of necrosis
obviate the use of HBO; delayed treatment with HBO cannot revive dead tissue. The resulting disappointment, as well as
the associated patient dissatisfaction, can be avoided by rapid diagnosis of the flap problem and early involvement of the
hyperbaric physician.
Diagnosis of Flap Compromise
Compromised tissues are usually hypoxic with oxygen tension of less than 30mmHg. With flaps, the etiology of the flap
ischemia and compromise may result from technical causes including improper flap design, closure with tension, pedicle
or tissue damage, hematoma, or prolonged operative ischemia. Non-technical causes include arterial vasospasm, flap
edema, post-operative infection, and patient deterioration. Special flap problems include low arterial inflow, total arterial
occlusion, partial venous congestion, and total venous occlusion.
HBO Treatment for Compromised flaps
The use of HBO therapy is appropriate only when:
1. The flap problem has been defined
2. There is documented perfusion of flap
3. Appropriate surgical salvage measures have been considered first
4. HBO therapy can be performed in an expedient manner
Scheme of HBO therapy for compromised flaps
HBO therapy for compromised flaps should be based on the type of flap, classification of ischemia, and effects of
treatment of HBO, which decided HBO therapy regimen.
HBO Therapy for I/R injury
Initially, the focus in acute ischemia caused by trauma should be restoration of blood supply. Replantation should be
completed as soon as possible with repair of disrupted arteries and fasciotomies if necessary. Both clinical experience
and the previously summarized research experience advocate for HBO treatment in I/R injury and results are positive and
often dramatic in our experience. If muscle ischemia time is greater than four to six hours there is a significant risk of
severe I/R injury, muscle necrosis, and loss of the affected extremity. Skin is more resistant to I/R injury but it is likely to
occur after eight hours of ischemia as in the case of a digital amputation. We, therefore, recommend HBO therapy for all
patients with muscle ischemia time greater than four hours and skin ischemia time greater than eight hours.
A retrospective controlled review of compromised free flaps and replanted extremities with greater than six hours of
primary and any secondary ischemia showed 100% salvage rate when HBO therapy was initiated within 24 hours of injury
and 0% salvage rate when HBO therapy was initiated greater than 72 hours after the injury. The major effects of I/R injury
are felt to occur within the first 4-7 hours of reperfusion. Since some irreversible tissue damage occurs after this time it is
important to take patients to receive HBO therapy immediately postoperatively, even if they are still intubated.
Conclusion
Are there evidenced-based criteria to justify the use of HBO in crush injuries and SMCS? When the American Heart
Association criteria are used, HBO meets the criteria for a Category 1 indication. With the ten-point evidenced-based
evaluation systemⅠdevised, crush injuries receive seven points and compartment syndromes five points. A score of five
points or more qualifies the intervention as evidenced-base.

The Application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Critical Disorders
Niu Ko-Chi
Department of Medical Research and Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Chi Mei Medical Center, Tainan, Taiwan, China
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been widely applied in severe clinical disorders. However, HBOT is suggested to
be hold when body temperature of the patients is higher than 38.5°C and whether HBO may exaggerate oxi dative stress
as results of tissue destruction and subsequent ischemia-induced inflammatory response in critical disorders remained to
be investigated.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: In order to study the effect of HBO on oxidative stress in critical condition, we used the
animal model of Heat stroke (HS) in Sprague-Dawley (DS) rats to mimic multiple organ failure and high body temperature.
Adult male SD anesthetized rats were exposed to an ambient temperature of 43 °C to induce HS. The mome nt in which
mean arterial pressure began to decrease from peak levels was arbitrarily taken as the onset of HS. rats were randomized
to several groups and given a) no resuscitation (NBA, normobaric air) after onset of heatstroke; b) HBO (100% O2 at 2.5
ATA for 1 h, 2 h, or cyclic administration); c) hyperbaric air (HBA; air at 2.5 ATA for 1 h); d) normobaric hyperoxia (NBHO;
100% O2 at 1.0 ATA for 1 h); or e) hyperbaric oxygen 8% (HBO 8%; hyperbaric 8% O2 at 2.5 ATA for 1 h).
RESULTS: Survival time was 19 ±1, 131 ± 18, 72 ± 14, 68 ± 12, or 45 ± 11 min, (n = 10) respectively for NBA, HBO 1h,
HBA, NBHO, or HBO 8% group. The HS-induced arterial hypotension, bradycardia, decreased arterial levels of pH, PaO2,
and SO2%, increased arterial levels of TNF-alpha, and increased values of cellular ischemia and damage markers, and
neuronal damage scores in the cortex were significantly reduced by HBO resuscitation. The cerebrovascular
dysfunctions (evidenced by hypotension, intracranial hypertension, and cerebral hypo-perfusion), hypercoagulable state
(evidenced by increased values of activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and D-dimer in plasma), and
tissue ischemia/injury (evidenced by increased levels of creatinine, serum urea nitrogen, aspartate aminotransferase,
alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase in plasma, and dihydrobenzoic acid, lipid peroxidation, and oxidized
form glutathione/reduced-form glutathione ratio in hypothalamus) that occurred during HS were all suppressed by HBO
therapy immediately after the onset of HS.
CONCLUSION: We successfully demonstrated that HBO and to some extent, HBA was found beneficial in resuscitating
experimental HS. HBO effectively reduced HS-induced arterial hypotension, plasma TNF-alpha overproduction, and
cerebral ischemia and damage and improved survival. The current reuaults indicate that HBO may resuscitate rats that
had a HS by decreasing multiple organ dysfunction and brain oxidative stress. We report the case of a patient who
displayed a classic HS with multiple organ dysfunction and hypercoagulable state resistant to conventional whole body
cooling and antipyretic therapy, necessitating the use of HBOT to rescue from death.

Hyperbaric Medicine: an European Perspective
Daniel Mathieu
Centre Hyperbare, Hôpital Calmette, Centre hospitalier Régional et Universitaire, Lille, France
Hyperbaric Medicine has a long history in Europe since the first mention of potential therapeutic application of high
ambient pressure for therapeutic purpose goes back to the seventeenth century. Modern application of Hyperbaric
Oxygen (HBO) started in the late 1950's in the Netherlands for anaerobic soft tissues infections and in the United Kingdom
for carbon monoxide poisoning. Since then, a large number of hyperbaric centers have been implemented throughout
Europe, an intense experimental research has been performed and a large clinical work has been done. However, since
the mid 1980's and the appearance of the Evidence Based Medicine, European hyperbaric physicians felt the need to
improve their organisation and the quality of care delivered by HBO centers. This lead to the development of the
"European Committee for Hyperbaric Medicine" (ECHM), which goads are to define commonly accepted indications for
HBO, to issue standards for clinical practice, personnel education, technical procedures and safety. There goals were
achieved through the organisation of Consensus Conferences, Workshops, reports from ad hoc sub-committees. As a
representative body near the European Union, ECHM was successful in promoting an important research program (COST
B14) and the issue of a European Norm for therapeutic hyperbaric chambers (EN 14931).
Nowadays, even if not similar everywhere, a typical European Hyperbaric Centers is hospital based and implanted in or
near an Intensive Care or an Emergency department and is composed by an air-compressed multiplace hyperbaric
system, an hospitalization ward and an out patient clinic. Intensive care patients are commonly treated by HBO and
considerable efforts are done to closely monitor treatment effects through, for example, oxygen pressure measurements
or blood flow at the targeted spot.

The pretective effect of Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning on ischemic/hyoxia injury
Xuejun Sun, Hengyi Tao, Weigang Xu, Runping Li
Department of diving medicine, Second Military Medical University. Shanghai, China
Hyperbaric oxygen has been widely used as a primary therapy in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning,
decompression sickness, and arterial gas embolism, and as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of various diseases
accompanied by impaired oxygen delivery Interestingly, Hyperbaric oxygen has also been tested to produce ischemic
tolerance in stroke models and in organs such as spinal cord, heart and liver, suggesting that Hyperbaric oxygen
produces a wide scale protective effect, and may be a safer preconditioning stimulus as compared with other stimuli such
as hypoxia. Yet the mechanisms underlying its neuroprotective effects remained poorly defined. This paper review the
hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning references and our own some experiment results recently. And try give some
suggestion for further research in this field.

Disruption of Viral Pathogenesis Following Patient Exposure to Hyperbaric Environments with Altered Inspired
Gas Mixtures
Stephen D. Guthrie, MD, PhD and Barbara R. Guthrie, MD
Designed Altobaric Research Institute, Livonia, Michigan, USA
Introduction
There is a broad spectrum of susceptibility to, and virulence of, viral infections. Some of this variance is controlled by the
8,13,25,29,46,50
43,44,50
while some is the consequence of the host’s prior life experiences
. This inconsistency
host’s genetics
in severity of clinical response to the same infecting agent has prompted many inquires into the innate capacities of the
3,4,9,24,51
mammalian cell to resist such infections
. Harnessing the power of these inherent anti-viral mechanisms is a
compelling therapeutic stratagem. Further, non-pharmacologic interventions avoid the untoward consequences of all
drug-based regimens, these being, direct toxicity, drug interactions, and the universal aftereffect of inducing resistant viral
mutations.
2,6,8,33
The relative intolerance of the infecting pathogen, compared to the infected host, to marked environmental changes
suggests an attractive tactic. Saturation divers, residents of undersea habitats and orbiting space stations, and the
participants in conventional hyperbaric therapy routinely experience such changes in their ambient milieu.
Environmental manipulations producing direct inhibition of viral pathogenesis, or secondary augmentation of
immuno-competence, would be effective clinical instruments. The Food and Drug Administration’s first approval of a
controlled clinical trial studying HIV/AIDS patients undergoing hyperbaric chamber treatments is a step towards this goal.
Literature Review
Relevant publications are categorized either as clinical descriptions of viral infections purposely treated under hyperbaric
conditions, or as mechanistic postulations as to how such therapeutic benefits could have occurred.
1. Experimental and Clinical Reports:
Using either tissue cultures or experimental animal models, the effects of hyperbaric oxygen exposures on viral
22,38,47
pathogenesis appeared in the literature more than 40 years ago
. A wide variety of viral pathogens have been
11,22,44
examined including DNA viruses, RNA viruses, and ones with or without envelopes
. Not all types of hyperbaric
28
exposures evoked a positive effect , but consistently the encounter produced some effect on viral penetration, replication,
or expression. As early as 1974 experiments were designed to delineate those anti-viral effects caused by the chamber
22,28
pressure versus those induced by the gas composition
.
In 1997 a 3-year compilation of individual HIV/AIDS patients treated with hyperbaric oxygen exposures for symptomatic
indications documented clinical improvements beyond that which could be expected from their concurrent anti-retroviral
41
23
treatments . The current FDA trial on HIV/AIDS patients treated with daily hyperbaric exposures is conducted using air
before refinement of the inhaled gas mixtures is introduced.
Several individual cases have also been published chronicling improvements in patients with non-retroviral infections such
17
20
as viral encephalitis and viral hepatitis . Treating the latter clinical condition evolved into a limited prospective study
30
with positive results . The completion of a prospective, randomized trial in viral hepatitis will further our knowledge of
whether these particular viruses are inhibited by the marked redox imbalance induced by oxygen under high pressures.
2. Mechanistic Proposals:
*
Direct virocidal effects: With the possible exception of the tantalizing prospect that nitrous oxide (NO) might have a
1,18,49
direct virocidal effect
, most of the gases with proven virus-killing capacity would be too toxic for patient
10
administration . It is possible that gases with virostatic potential could trigger the host’s intrinsic mechanisms for defusing
15,44
the lethal viral effects
but that is a speculation without any supportive observations.
*
The “membrane” phenomenon: The observed “membrane” effect of gases under pressure is a general biological
27,48
phenomenon long embraced by hyperbaric medicine
. Such effects can be at the cell’s surface or within any
membrane-encased intracellular compartment. The ion channel effects of gases, particularly inert gases, have been
42
extensively studied in excitable membranes but those same perturbations would occur at all membranes . Particularly
intriguing is the finding that xenon, a very inert noble gas at 1 ATA, actually becomes a general anesthetic agent under
32
hyperbaric conditions . Membrane modeling based on the stereoscopic delineation of anesthetic gas-receptor
8
interaction may help select which gases should be studied under pressure. The latest generation of highly active
36
antiretroviral therapy (HAART) drugs specifically inhibits membrane penetration by the virus . This clearly is another
battleground wherein environmental composition could be a valuable addition to the therapeutic armamentarium.
*
Enhanced immuno-competence: The effects on the immune system of marked alterations in ambient pressure and
12
inhaled gas composition have been known for many years . These particularly have been studied with regard to the
45
reduced immuno-competence observed in long-term occupants of space environments . There are also laboratory
38,47
observations of increased pathogenicity of certain viruses under hyperbaric conditions
. Conversely, given the proper
20,21,25
pressure/gas combination, viral pathogenicity can be diminished and immuno-competence can be strengthened
.
Again, the summary statement here, as with the potential for membrane phenomenon manipulation, is that changes in the
host’s ability to address viral infections can be augmented by the ambient conditions. The search must be for that ideal
environment, with the supposition that the environment with the greatest viral lethality will likely be determined by the
inherent biology of the specific offending virus.
*
Redox balance manipulation:
Another general organism response to hyperbaric environments is imbalance of the redox equilibrium provoked by the
reactive oxygen species generated in profusion under such conditions. There are clinical anecdotes documenting viral
17,20,30
hepatitis patients’ improvement following hyperbaric oxygen therapy
. Several laboratory models directly implicate
14,25,31
the reactive oxygen species as the anti-viral instrument
. These two synchronous lines of investigation have come
6
together as a definitive postulate on disease intervention in the class of enveloped viruses . Further investigation will
reveal if the reactive oxygen strategy can be employed in all viruses, or only certain classes, or at only certain vulnerable
watershed moments in the course of viral infections. As clinicians, the patient trial processes should be started even as
laboratory investigators pursue the intricate mechanisms whereby these beneficial effects occur.
*
iRNA mechanism(s) The mechanism, or more properly the family of mechanisms, that act to derail, mute, or
inactivate the pathologic genetic material introduced by a virus have been formally denominated the “silencing
interference RNA” system. Several acronyms exist (siRNA, iRNA, RNAi) all alluding to this same process. The most
compelling scientific information from a clinical standpoint derives not from bench-top laboratory experiments or patient
29,35
treatment examples but from descriptions of genetic variances which have resulted in individuals
, or whole
13,46,50,51
populations
, having the inherent capacity to “ignore” the fatal viral infusion. In a word, those fortunate cells or
individuals are capable of “silencing” the fatal genetic instructions. Many of these fortunate adaptations have likely
50
29
evolved over millennia but they may appear spontaneously, and quite suddenly . There are vigorous attempts to
harness the siRNA mechanism(s) for immediate clinical utility, and there are sophisticated laboratory tools for quantifying
changes in these processes. It should at least be born in mind that accessing changes in the siRNA system(s) could be
done contemporaneously with the other clinical trials suggested here.
Research Protocol
In April of 2005 the Food and Drug Administration approved the submitted protocol for, and issued permission to proceed
23
with, a Phase-II Clinical Trial on the effects of hyperbaric exposures in patients with HIV/AIDS . That regulatory body
40
thus accepted the results of the Phase-I study on healthy volunteers . Further, that approval signaled the FDA’s
recognition of the scientific premise that such altered environments would positively influence the progress of this disease
based on published laboratory experiments and clinical case reports. The FDA’s assessment of the proposal and protocol
allowed them to assign a “Non-Significant-Risk” (NSR) categorization to this trial. This NSR designation obviates
inclusion in the study of components assessing sensitivities and allergies, drug interactions, and risks associated with
concurrent medical conditions or treatments. The results of this Phase-II study will determine the design and sample size
of the Phase-III trials to determine final efficacy.
Discussion
Any definitive discourse must await the results of the Phase-II Clinical Trial. In the absence of those results any
discussion here ought simply to declare, and reinforce, the reasons why this study is proceeding. Vigorous and colorful
discussions will undoubtedly follow completion of this trial, discussions regarding the meanings, the mechanisms, and the
direction(s) of the next investigational steps. For the moment, the following assertions should be added to the working
body of conversation in this discipline:
1 – Ambient pressure changes and altered inspired gas mixtures have a demonstrable effect on the clinical course of
patients with viral infections, both through effects on the invading pathogen and on the host’s ability to resist that insult.
2 – Both redox imbalances and inert gas membrane effects can produce such effects. The design of the prescribed
gas/pressure blend may depend on the biological characteristics of each individual pathogen.
3 – Such environmental manipulations are spared many of the untoward consequences of drug-based therapeutic
regimens. Further, the potential synergy between hyperbaric treatments and administered medicaments could lessen
the emergence of resistant strains of the virus that follows use of each drug.
It is fortunate that studies on environmental manipulations are not encumbered by the unwelcome physical liabilities linked
to pharmacological interventions. Further, it is fortunate that Hyperbaric Medicine has the talent, the intent, and the clear
mandate to extend the borders of this therapeutic modality.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Clinical Findings, Common Errors, And Early diagnose
2900 cases
Jordi Desola, MD, PhD, Joan Sala, MD.
Hyperbaric Therapy Unit of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain
A prospective analysis of
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (CMP) is one of the best documented indications for HBO, where many research has been
done, and important experience has been cumulated from all the world. In spite of that, the general opinion of the medical
community is not unanimous and it remains confused. Results are really encouraging, but some sceptical attitude about
the role of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) still remains among some hospitals in the area. Many of these attitudes can be
explained by a lack of knowledge of the toxicology, pathophysiology and clinical pattern of this frequent inhaled
intoxication. The majority of the cases in Catalonia happened within the domestic environment, so the role of primary
assistance teams can be essential. However we have observed a large series of common errors, both in the primary
assistance medical centres as well in the most important general hospitals, which being so repetitive can not be
considered as casual. We have analyzed our series of near to 3000 cases of CMP received in our unit, and we are
pointing out the most frequent and relevant errors.
1.DELAYED DIAGNOSIS. Its condition of tasteless, colourless, and odourless, can maintain Carbon Monoxide (CO)
hidden once the source is extinguished or simply the windows of the room are open. In such condition, erroneous
diagnoses are frequently established in urgency departments and primary assistance cabinets, like Encephalitis, Stroke,
Epilepsy, Dysbaric disorder, Tensional Cephalalgia, Occupational conflict, Collective Hysteria, Food poisoning, or
Peripheral Vertigo.
2.CONFUSION ASPHYXIA/ POISSONING. CMP is very often a hidden disaster. Only in catastrophic situations, or in
cases where coal gas is obviously present, the existence of CO in the environment is presumed. Liquated gases from
petroleum (propane, butane, and so on) do not contain CO so they are not toxic. However in case of free escape the
inhalation of propane or butane can produce serious asphyxia, but not a poisoning. If the combustion of these gases is
incomplete, CO can be formed. In such cases signs and symptoms of asphyxia and CMP will combine and careful
attention is needed to associated disorders like smoke inhalation, or Adult Distress Respiratory Syndrome.
3. ERRONEOUS EVALUATION OF CARBOXYHAEMOGLOBIN LEVEL. Even when CMP is almost certain, some
doctors only accept this diagnosis if the carboxyhaemoglobin (HbCO) percentage is elevated. And even in these cases,
they only consider intoxication as severe if the HbCO elevation is very high. This attitude implies a true ignorance about
both the pathophysiology of this intoxication, as well as the physiology of the haemoglobin oxygen transport and the
carbon monoxide left deviation of the curve. HbCO only indicates the haemoglobin linked to CO, but nothing is known
about the plasmatic CO levels. However, it is well known that in mild cases, patients often have important HbCO
elevations, while other patients in deep coma can have low levels. An HbCO elevation only informs that the patient has
been exposed to CO at some point during the preceding hours, but neither a correlation with severity nor with prognosis
can be established. It is frequently forgotten that the worst toxic role of CO depends on the direct toxic effect over
kytochrome-oxydase mitochondrial breathing.
4.ERRONEOUS EVALUATION OF GASOMETRICS AND PULSE-OXIMETRY. Patients poisoned by CO often have
nearly normal gasometrical values. A mild hypoxemia may be sometimes observed even in seriously ill patients. Gas
blood analytical machines only detect pH, haemoglobin, and arterial pressure of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. The other
parameters like Bicarbonates, Base Excess, or Oxygen Saturation are calculated -not measured- so when an important
quantity of haemoglobin is blocked by CO, the results shown by conventional machines are erroneous. Only Cooxymeters
can determine the real oxygen content measuring the actual Oxygen Saturation, but these apparatus are not always
available in small hospitals, and almost never in primary assistance medical centres. Pulse-oximetres are really a kind of
photocolourimetres and they give erroneous results in case of CMP as well. The recently appeared Pulse-cooximetres
can be the most valuable aid in the early diagnose of CMP especially on site for rescuers, first responders, or primary
assistance specialists.
5. IMPROPE ESTIMATION OF SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. Signs and symptoms of CMP are very unspecific. Cephalalgia,
Nausea without vomiting, Bradipsyquia, Asthenia, and transitory Consciousness Disturbance are the most common in the
not extremely serious cases, which are the most frequent. Some books of internal medicine and on toxicology, explain
that one of the most typical symptoms of CMP is the Sherry skin rush, while in our series it has been found in only the
20.3% of the cases. On the contrary, some recent papers consider the Sherry skin rush as a very rare finding. It is obvious
that the majority of the patients are not aware of this sign thus they do not report it, and it can remain hidden if it is not
actively searched in the emergency department.
6. INNECESSARY CORRECTION OF METABOLIC ACIDOSIS. These patients are usually in real acidotic condition,
which may be more related to the severity of the intoxication than the HbCO level. First responders, and urgency
physicians in hospitals sometimes try to "correct" this acidosis, and their patients become alkalotic after having received
unnecessary doses of bicarbonates. Metabolic acidosis is mainly related to the left deviation of the haemoglobin curve,
and it can become a kind of defence against hypoxia trying to achieve a more stable oxygen transference. A moderate
acidosis is a positive event and need not to be a concern. Only extreme acidosis in the most severe cases, which can be
by itself a cause of major damage, need to be corrected.
7.NON JUSTIFIED ADMINISTRATION OF HYDROXICOBALAMIN. Cyanide (CNH) can be formed in cases of fire in
closed environment, very high temperature, and combustion of synthetic and plastic materials. Following the so called
“Baud’s criteria” a combined CO plus CNH poisoning can be assumed in some cases of patients rescued from fires. Some
experimental laboratory data, not clinically controlled, suggest that very high doses (between 2-5 grams endovenously) of
Hydroxicobalamin (HC) can be the antidote of CNH. This overestimated measure has become very popular in some areas
and first responders have incorporated HC among their emergency procedures. However HC has no action over the
mitochondrial breathing disturbance since only blocks the inhaled CNH, but the patient will persist hypoxic if high quantity
of oxygen is not given. Furthermore, HC has no action over CO, so there is no reason to apply in pure cases of CMP in
which no criteria of CNH poisoning are estimated, and on the other hand HC is very expensive and it can delay the
application of the only etiological treatment with HBO.
8.OVERESTIMATION OF THE UTILITY OF NORMOBARIC OXYGEN. Many patients start to improve from the moment
of the rescue from the intoxication site. In fact, they frequently arrive at the hospital in nearly normal status. Applying
normobaric oxygen may result in an apparent improvement in the less serious cases, but this amelioration does not
correspond to a real healing. High quantities of normobaric oxygen can moderately increase the oxygen concentration in
the blood, but the oxygen deliver to the cell will be always done under atmospheric diffusion pressure. Theoretically, the
half life of HbCO breathing normobaric oxygen is 80 minutes. But in practice some patients have received normobaric
oxygen for several hours in primary hospitals previously to be sent to our unit, and the mean value of HbCO in the moment
of the arrival to the emergency room of our hospital is still high.
9.DELAY OR NEGLIGENCE IN APPLYING HYPERBARIC OXYGENATION. The majority of the guidelines or protocols
in Emergency department of general hospitals are still conditioning the indication of HBO for CMP patients to HbCO
values over 20% or even over 40% what implies a lack of knowledge of the real pathophysiology of CMP and even of the
toxicology of CO. Thus physicians from emergency rooms wait for the result of determination of HbCO before deciding
whether or not the patient must be sent to the Centre of Hyperbaric Medicine. The delay in our area since the moment that
patients arrive to the hospital until they arrive to our unit is near to 7 hours. And many seriously poisoned patients are not
sent to Hyperbaric medical centres simply because that at this time the HbCO is already low, in spite of the fact that the
patient has suffered a serious poisoning.
10. IGNORANCE OF THE LATE NEUROLOGICAL SYNDROME. Many general practitioners and hospital doctors are
unaware of the simple existence of this serious neurological demyelinization syndrome that appears after some days of
fully symptomatic remission. Not only practitioners but some hospital neurologists are equally uninformed. Several well
known and internationally accepted textbooks on internal medicine, and even some books on toxicology do not mention
the risk of late neurological symptom in case of CMP or it is described as a neurological sequella of the acute intoxication..
This was not an exhaustive list of common errors committed by both practitioners from primary assistance as well as
doctors from emergency departments in General hospitals. Many of them are based in a lack of information of some
aspects that are well described in basic textbooks of respiratory physiology. Some other errors depend on a sceptic
attitude proning to accept any drug treatment but at the same time very reluctant against not pharmacologically supported
treatments. Data is nowadays relevant. Research is deep and wide. But there are no more serious blinds than those not

HBO and cytostatic chenotherapy
Christtian Heiden
German Professional Soc. Hyperb. Chambers
Objective: There is a certain amount of reservation for
applying HBO to patients who have a history of malignant
tumor treated with cytostatic drugs. As hypoxic tumor cells
do not react well to treatment wether it is radiotherapy or
cytostatic drug there is a ratio for applying HBO as an
adjuvant for cytostatics. Method: A survey of the literature
on this topic is given in detail, also concerning the different
classes of cytostatics. Own experience of the last 5 years
is presented. Results: Few publications deal with HBO
and cytostatics. There are encouraging papers published.
The number of cases treated with HBO after cytostatic
tumor therapy and even so as an adjuvant to cytostatics is
very limited and far beyond evidence based medicine. In
all our own cases the HBO treatment did not cause any
problems. Conclusion: The application of HBO after
cytostatic treatment is feasable in general. Precautions
have to be made concerning special substances. As the
experience published is very small the adjunctive
application of HBO should be limited to very special cases
after all treatment options have failed and the patient
would be lost otherwise. Informed consent of the patient
for the treatment is indispensable.

Hyperbaric Oxygen: Does it Promote Cancer
Recurrence or Metastasis? An Update
John Feldmeier
University of Toledo Medical Center; Radiation Oncology
Department; Toledo Radiation Oncology, USA
Objective: To review and update the literature related to
cancer growth, recurrence and metastases after
hyperbaric oxygen. Methods A comprehensive review of
this topic was published by Feldmeier et al in 2003. Since
that time several new publications have been added to the
body of literature on this topic. The prior review as well
and the more recently published literature, found by
computer based literature search (Medline), are reviewed.
Results: The literature on this topic can be divided into 1)
Case reports and case series; 2) Randomized trials
designed to investigate hyperbaric oxygen as a
radiosensitizer; and 3) Pre-clinical studies designed to
address the issue in question and encompassing a broad
range of malignancies. Only a rare anecdotal case or
small case series reports cancer recurrence or
progression after hyperbaric oxygen. Much larger case
reports fail to confirm a higher rate of cancer recurrence.
The randomized trials from the era of hyperbaric oxygen
radiosensitization do not suggest an increased risk for
metastases or death due to cancer after hyperbaric
oxygen. The vast majority of pre-clinical studies show
either a neutral effect or a slight suppression of malignant
growth. Conclusions: The preponderance of available
evidence fails to demonstrate an enhanced rate of cancer
growth, recurrence or metastasis. Hyperbaric oxygen can
be given to cancer patients without fear that the treatment
will promote cancer recurrence or progression.

Introduction: Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment
(HBO) for children requires special knowledges for
indication and treatment. Especially nursing of critically ill
patients demands specific equipment inside of hyperbaric
chamber. There is a strong need for close cooperation
between paediatric and hyperbaric specialists for
ensurance of adequate care of sick paediatric patients.
HBO for sick oncological patients is very exhausting for
nursing staff from psychological, organizing as well as
treatment point of view. There is a long tradition of
treatment of children within our treatment centre with
multiplace hyperbaric chamber equipped with perfect
monitoring, ventilation and technical devices, as our
hyperbaric center started to work in 1965 and from that
time more than 16.000 patients were treated here.
Methods and Results:
This is retrospective
observational study. From 1994-2008 total of 33 children
(19 of male sex, 14 of female sex) have been treated for
complications of oncological treatment in our hyperbaric
unit. In the early period the hepatotoxic influence of
cytostatic drugs has been the main reason for HBO
treatment (17 patients). Recently hyperbaric oxygen is
used due to severe posthypoxic encephalopathy(3
patients), after extensive intracranial surgery for malignant
diseases(9 patients) with different grade of brain damage
and neurological deficit, complications due to treatment
of immunity suppressive drugs (sepsis, critical illness
polyneuromyopathy- 3 patients). One children has been
treated for radiation injury of urine bladder. Mean age of
children were 8 years (1-17 years), 22 patients were
treated for blood malignancy, 11 patients for solid tumour.
Mean number of HBO sessions were 7,5 (1-20),
treatment pressure of 1.9 to 2.5 ATA. Among of them,
positive effect has been achieved in 89 to 100 % of cases
due to clinical situation, total positive treatment effect was
described in 31 from 33 patients(94 %).One patient out of
33 (3%) could not finish his treatment due to ear
equillibration problems, in two patients bleeding from
tracheostomy as well as nose occured, but without need
of interruption of HBO sessions, one patient (3%) failed to
achieve positive tendency from treatment. Discussion:
This is a pilot study for creating of basal imagine of HBO
effects in those clinical situations. It is very important to
emphasize that it is a small group of patients, evaluation is
provided retrospectively and without use of any standard
measurement method and parameters. Most of patients
can be evaluated as criticallly ill patients and the complex
treatment has been supplied. HBO treatment for those
patients is high risk due to infectious diseases, immune
suppression therapy, need for isolation of patients inside
of hyperbaric facility. We agree with the presence of
parents during HBO treatment. ENT examination with
paracenthesis, or bilateral tympanostomy with ventilation
tubes insertion within general anesthesia are provided
before of HBO treatment. For assessment of HBO
treatment there have been used standard neurological
examination, electromyography(EMG), or creatin kinase
levels in blood. Conclusion: Objective evaluation of
mechanisms of HBO effects and confirmation of its
positive acting will demand next studies, moreover with
randomised prospective design. Present results show that
HBO can be useful method in treatment of paediatric
oncological patients with neurological deficit and other
oncological treatment complications.

Hyperbaric Oxygen may accelerate tumour-bearing
mice to death
Qingle LIU, Chenggang Zheng, Xiaohua Hang
Changhai Hospital, the Second Military Medical University,
Shanghai, China
Objective: To explore the influence of hyperbaric
oxygenation (HBO) on life-span in tumour-bearing
mice. Method: Male Balb/c mice were randomly divided
into celiac-tumour group: inoculating tumour cell into
abdominal cavity of the animal, celiac-tumour-HBO group:
inoculating tumour cell into abdominal cavity and then
exposing to hyperbaric oxygen, back-tumour group:
inoculating tumour cell under skin of the back of the
animal, back-tumour-HBO group: inoculating tumour cell
under skin of the back of the animal and then exposing to
hyperbaric oxygen. There are 7 mice in each group. After
s-180 tumour cell was translated to mice HBO was given
once a day in concerned group. The life-span and skin
ulcer were observed. Results: The life-span is 27.57 士
4.4693 days in celiac-tumour-group, 24 士 2.9439 days in
celiac-tumour-HBO group, 63.43 士 21.844 days in
back-tumour group, and 35.14 士 8.934 days in
back-tumour-HBO group. The life-spans in celiac-tumour
group and in celiac-tumour-HBO group are different, but P
value is 0.133204; the life-spans in back-tumour group
and in back-tumour-HBO group are significant and P
value, 0.009002. Conclusion: The life-span of mice in
back-tumour-HBO group was shorten by exposing HBO,
and life-span in celiac-tumour-HBO group is tendency to
be shorten by HBO exposure. The ulcer formation is
postponed by HBO in back-tumour-HBO group.

Objective: Postsurgical complications after sternotomy
include mediastinal dehiscence and mediastinal wound
infection, either superficial or deep. Mediastinitis, as a
deep wound infection, is a rare complication after the
surgical sternotomy, but it can have high mortality.
Several publications show the positive effect of usage of
the hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in mediastinitis with
shorter hospital stay, less morbidity, and cost saving.
Methods: In the National Center of Hyperbaric Medicine
in Gdynia, Poland, between 2005 and 2008 we treated
with HBO thirteen patients (7 males and 6 females) aged
between 53 to 74 years (mean 60.5±6.9 [SD] years) with
an open mediastinum due to mediastinitis in
post-operative period after medial sternotomy for cardiac
surgery. In one case there were clinical and
microbiological evidences of clostridial mediastinitis.
Patients were admitted into the hyperbaric center after
initial surgical debridement of wounds and removal of
sternal wires. Standard care included: daily change of
dressing with wound irrigation and debridement, when
necessary; narrow spectrum antibiotics; HBO sessions
every 12 hours until resolution of infection; adjunctive
treatment as indicated by the clinical status of patients.
Results: Median length of stay in the hyperbaric center
was 12 days (range 9-38), median number of HBO
sessions was 20 (range: 16-54). Median value of
C-reactive protein (CRP) titer at admission was 79.8 mg/dl
(range: 12.8-260.8) and significantly decreased down to
12.8 mg/dl (range: 7.8-103.1) in all patients (p=0.005;
Wilcoxon test). Median value of WBC count at admission
was 7470/ml (range: 5100-18670) and it did not change
significantly at discharge (7420/ml; range: 2870-10890;
p=0.12; Wilcoxon test). In all cases there was
improvement in the local and general clinical status and in
microbiological results, even if not always there was a
bacterial eradication. No major complication occurred
during the HBO sessions. Conclusion: Usage of HBO
should be considered in mediastinitis as a complication of
the cardiac surgery.

In 2007, 7970 times
hyperbaric oxygen therapy
(HBO) in 958 patients were
performed, which is the
most patients number in one
institute in a year in Japan.
The purposes of this study
were to report the diseases

and preventing migraine and cluster headaches. Methods:
We searched the following in May 2008: CENTRAL,
MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, DORCTIHM and
reference lists. Relevant journals were hand searched
and researchers contacted. We accepted any randomised
trials
comparing
HBOT
or
NBOT
with any
alternative. Three reviewers independently evaluated
study quality and extracted data. Results: Nine trials
involving 201 participants were included. Pooling of data
from three trials suggested HBOT was effective in
relieving migraine headaches compared to sham
therapy (RR 5.97, 95% CI 1.46 to 24.38, P = 0.01). There
was no evidence that HBOT could prevent migraine, or
reduce the incidence of nausea/vomiting or the
requirement for rescue medication. There was a trend to
better outcome in a single trial evaluating HBOT for
cluster (RR 11.38, 95% CI 0.77 to 167.85, P = 0.08).
NBOT was effective in terminating cluster headache
compared to sham in a single small study (RR 7.88, 95%
CI 1.13 to 54.66, P = 0.04), but not superior to ergotamine
administration in another small trial (RR 1.17, 95% CI 0.94
to 1.46, P = 0.16). Seventy-six per cent of patients
responded to NBOT. No serious adverse effects of HBOT
or NBOT were reported. Conclusion: There was
evidence that HBOT was effective for the termination of
migraine in an unselected population, and weak evidence
that NBOT was effective in cluster. Given the cost and
poor availability of HBOT, more research should be done
on patients unresponsive to standard therapy. NBOT is
cheap, safe and easy to apply, so will probably continue to
be used.

Results:
Intravenous
administration of lipopolysaccharide (2 µg/kg) caused
increased levels of both core temperature and
hypothalamic glutamate, hydroxyl radicals, and
prostaglandin-E2 accompanied by increased plasma
levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and
interleukin-6. Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (100% at
253 kPa) once a day for consecutive 7 days prior to or 1
hour after injecting lipopolysaccharide significantly
reduced the lipopolysaccharide-induced elevation of core
temperature, circulating tumor necrosis factor-α,
interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6, and hypothalamic
glutamate, hydroxyl radicals and prostaglandin E2. Direct
injection of tumor necrosis factor-α (20 ng), interleukin-1β
(20 ng), or interleukin-6 (10 ng) into the lateral cerebral
ventricle also caused a rise in both core temperature and
hypothalamic glutamate and hydroxyl radicals, which
could be attenuated by treatment with hyperbaric oxygen.
Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygen can be used as a
prophylactic as well as a therapeutic agent for prevention

suppression
of

Recent data suggest nitrite as a product of the complex
interplay between nitric oxide (NO), molecular oxygen and
superoxide that takes place during hyperbaric oxygen
therapy (HBOT). A rapid reversible decrease in
endothelial NO bioavailability during hyperbaric oxygen
exposure may possibly be due to this auto-oxidation of
NO. Inorganic anions such as nitrite that were previously
thought to be inert end products of endogenous nitric
oxide metabolism are now being viewed as possible
storage pools of NO-like activity. With the reduction of
nitrite back to NO in the circulation indicated as a possible
mechanism for hypoxic vasodilatation, nitrite is being
investigated as an endogenous signaling molecule and
regulator of gene expression. Given its role in blood flow
regulation and hypoxic nitric oxide homeostasis, nitrite
may not only serve as a diagnostic marker but also find a
role as a potential therapeutic agent. Protein nitrotyrosine
has been identified as a marker of formation of another
potent oxidant, peroxynitrite from nitric oxide. Objective:
To examine changes in the nitrite and peroxynitrite
metabolites of NO in the blood of healthy subjects after a
single HBOT session. Method: Fifty six healthy adults
were included in the study. Plasma nitrite was measured
in 22 test subjects and 12 controls before and one hour
after HBOT with either 100% oxygen or compressed air at
2.5 ATA for sixty minutes. Determination of plasma
nitrotyrosine was done separately with 15 test subjects
and 7 controls using the same protocol. Results: Plasma
nitrite and nitrotyrosine levels were not found to be
significantly altered after the single HBOT in subjects who
Objective: To ascertain whether hyperbaric oxygen
therapy inhibits the increase of glutamate, hydroxyl
radicals, and prostaglandin E2 in the hypothalamus and
reduces fever during lipopolysaccharide-induced systemic
inflammation in rabbits. Methods: Adult male New
Zealand white rabbits, weighing between 2.2 and 3.2 kg at
the start of the study, were used. The pyrogen assay was
carried out with unanesthetized animals restrained in
rabbit stocks. The microdialysis probes were
stereotaxically and chronically implanted into the preoptic
anterior hypothalamus of rabbit brain (the essential
thermoregulatory center) for assessment of glutamate,
hydroxyl radicals, and prostaglandin E2 in situ. For
measurement of serum cytokines, 5 ml of blood was
withdrawn from the marginal ear vein of each rabbit. The
amounts of the cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α,
interleukin-1β, and interlueimin-6 in the serum were
determined by using double-antibody sandwich ELISA

received 100% oxygen therapy as compared to
compressed air. There was a non-significant elevation of
plasma nitrites and nitrotyrosine in both groups of HBOT
subjects as compared to controls that received no HBOT.
Conclusion: Increased oxygenation of tissues due to
hyperbaric therapy may therefore be more significantly
related to the production of reactive metabolites of nitric
oxide than the oxygen content of the inhaled air, in short
term HBOT.

Hospital Angeles Metropolitano, Mexico
Introduction: The purpose of a craniotomy is
decompress through a cranial bone resection. It does not
reverse the primary injury, but reduces secondary
damage caused by cerebral edema after a hemorrhagic
vascular event. The association of HBO is beneficial if it is
performed in the early stage. Material and Methods: We
reported a 33-year-old female patient who has a cerebral
hemorrhage secondary to an arteriovenous malformation.
The case is complicated because the patient has a 25
weeks pregnancy. HBO (1.8 atm abs / 90 min / QD / 20
treatments) was used a adjunctive treatment as an early
neuroprotector to inhibit ischemia reperfusion injury. MRI
was done before and after HBO. Results: The patient
improved clinically and by MRI. There was a marked
improvement of the motor and cognitive function. The
patient was able to maintain the pregnancy that was
resolved by Caesarean section. There was no secondary
effect of HBO to the neonate. Conclusion: This case was
complicated not only by the cerebral hemorrhage of the
mother but also by a 25 week pregnancy. HBO was used
as an early neuroptotector. It inhibits ischemia reperfusion
injury (I / R) when used at an early stage. There was a
marked clinical and MRI improvement of the mother and
there were no secondary effects to the product, specially
retinopathy of the premature. This is the first case of the
used of HBO for cerebral hemorrhage in a pregnant
woman.

ascending gradually, when they are at l2 metres they go
to surface where they have a decompression chamber
installed in their boat, to continue their period of

was 20 – 25 minutes on the bottom and his
decompression stops lost conscience inside the
decompression chamber installed on board.
The
materials used are the usual ones of the Medical Legal

cases, though it is necessary to emphasize certain organs
reveal that they have still not been described. Conclusion
and Discussion: It is possible to state that in the cases of
Traumatic Embolism of Air widespread pathology
happens which affects all organs. It is possible to state
that in these cases, the accumulation of gas is in all the
tissues of the organism, but in the moment of shock,
moreover there are organs in charge of managing the

Revision and analysis of these registries. Results: We
review 60 cases of decompression illness treated from
March 2007 to May 2008, 24 (40%) of them had NDCI. Of
these, 13 had involvement of the spinal cord, four of the

were treated with 6 USN, generally with two prolongations
to 18 meters. Most cases with spinal disease had
paraparesia with a sensitive level and generally without
compromise of propiocepcion. Nine patients didn’t have
anterior spinal cord involvement, one patient had a
complete spinal cord syndrome and one had a syndrome
that couldn’t be systematized. There were 2 cases that
couldn’t be classified in any subtype. Of these cases, four
received lidocaine, and required between 0 and 12
sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). Of the
patients that did not receive lidocaine, three did not
require more sessions and the rest required between five
and ten sessions. The only patient who had a complete
spinal disease required 25 sessions of HBO. From the
cases that had a cerebral disease, two presented with
alterations in consciousness. One of them died in spite of
hyperbaric treatment and ICU treatment. The other had an
alteration in consciousness and myoclonus and survived
without sequels. The other two cerebral cases had
lacunar syndromes that recovered completely with
hyperbaric treatment. Of the 7 cases of peripheral disease,
6 of them had hypoestesia in the territory of the circumflex
nerve, associated with articular and muscular compromise.
Conclusion: A high percentage of the treated cases of
decompression illness are NDCI. Possibly these cases
are overrepresented. The presence of a “dissociation” or
existence of different patterns of injury in the spinal cord
could be explained because of different physiopathologic
reasons, that is to say, arterial embolization in cases of
spinal disease with respect of the posterior columns,
venous thrombosis in cases of a complete medullary
syndrome, and presence of bubbles in cases of a not
systemizable spinal cord disease. The pattern of complete
spinal disease seems to have a worse prognosis. All
patients had important omissions of decompression.

Objective：
：To investgate dynamic changes of the effect of
hyperbaric oxygen treatment(HBOT) on traumatic brain
injury (TBI) during the initial 7 days by using lateral
fluid-percussion (LFP) rat modal and magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Meterials and Metheods ： 30 male
Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:
HBOT group(n=10), TBI group(n=10),1st day TBI
group(n=6), sham control group(n=4). MRI was performed
at 1 day, 3 day, 5 day, 7 day after severe injury on lateral
fluid-percussion. HBOT was performed to rats in HBOT
group each day after 24 hours. The rat brain imaging was
evaluated according to a standard by 2 radiologist who
didn’t know groups divided. All rats were sacrificed
immediately after MRI exam; their brains were removed
and prepared for pathologic exam. Results：There is no
st
difference between HBO and TBI group at 1 day
according to MRI evaluation. The difference tendency
rd
th
present at 3 day and 5 day suggesting better
improvement in HBOT than TBI group. The difference
th
becomes significant at 7 day. Conclusions：HBOT is
effective in accelerating brain tissue repair, promoting the
lesion clearance and hematoma or edema’s absorbing by
dynamic investigation of MRI. HBOT is also protective to
brain tissue after the building of TBI rat modal for 24 hours
which second brain damage have happened, the process
is quantitative change to qualitative change.

Objective: To evaluate effects of hyperbaric oxygenation
(HBO) on long-term ulcer healing in patients with diabetes
mellitus and chronic foot ulcers where further possibilities
for vascular surgery has been ruled out. Methods: 94
Patients from three hospitals in southern Sweden were
enrolled in the study. Randomisation was stratified for
toe-pressure with a cut-off at equal or less than 30 mm Hg.
Both HBO and hyperbaric air (HBA) treatment was given
at the same time in the chamber in a double blind fashion.
The patients received a minimum of 37 and a maximum of
40 treatments at 2.5 ATA and a duration of 90 minutes.
Trancutaneous oxymetri was used for evaluating the
effects of HBO/HBA-treatment. In this presentation are no
subgroups analysed. Results: The median time to ulcer
healing was 5 months in the HBO-treated group and 12
months in the HBA-group. A blinded observer did this
evaluation. Approximately half of the wounds did not heal.
Trancutaneous oxymetri showed successive higher
oxygen levels on the forefoot during the chamber
treatment in the HBO group compared with no rise in
oxygen levels in the HBA group. The differences between
the two treatment groups lasted at least 1½ year.
Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygenation is a valuable
adjunctive when treating diabetic foot ulcers.

Introduction: Acute CO poisoning frequently occurs in
winter in northern part of China. After CO poisoning,
COHb has an evident increase. It is well known that rising
COHb affects the transportation of oxygen and triggers
the poisoning. Methemoglobin formation results from the
oxidization of the bivalent iron of hemoglobin into trivalent
iron, which lacks the capacity of carrying and releasing
oxygen. However, there is no literature reporting the
change of Methemoglobin formation in acute CO
poisoning patents (ACOP). With the application of Rad-57
Pulse CO-Oximeter, (Masimo Corporation) we have
observed the changes of COHb and MetHb of 429 acute
CO poisoning patients and studied the roles of COHb and
MetHb in triggering acute CO poisoning as well as their
relations. Methods: The subjects are 429 acute CO
poisoning patients in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and
Beijing Shunyi Hospital from November, 2006 to March,
2007 with 100 healthy people who do not smoke as the
control group. We employed Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter
to observe the levels of COHb and MetHb of the
emergency patients when they went to see the doctor.
After 2h inhaling of oxygen (through nose at the rate of
3L/min) or one hyperbaric oxygen theraphy (2ATA,
breathe oxygen for 60min), the levels of COHb and
MetHb were measured again and the changes observed.
We also recorded general situation, cause of the disease
and clinical classifications etc. of the patients. Then we
utilized SPSS11.0 software for statistic analysis. Results:
CO poisoning of 98% of the patients is due to
inappropriate use of coal stoves. Clinical classification:
Light poisoning 274 cases; intermediate poisoning: 77
cases; severe poisoning: 78 cases. A total of 98
emergency patients have MetHb>1.2% at the first
measurement. The concentrations of both COHb and
MetHb of the patients are evidently higher than that of the
control group (p0.05) although fifty patients out of 58
cases showed small decrease in MetHb. Discussion and
conclusions: (1) Inappropriate use of coal stove is the
main cause of acute CO poisoning in northern part of
China. (2) MetHb may be involved in the
physiopathological process of hypoxia of ACOP patients.
MetHb of such patients is clearly higher than that of the
control group, but only 98 patients have MetHb >1.2%.
This indicates that the rise of MetHb level is not the key
factor leading to hypoxia in ACOP patients. The increase
of COHb level is the main cause. (3) Whether hyperbaric
oxygen
treatment
can
effectively
cure
methemoglobinemia still requires further study. (4) The
Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter provides a noninvasive tool to
greatly facilitate the clinical diagnosis & treatment for CO
poisoning patients.

including pathogenesy, clinic treatment and animal model
building. And analyze the existing problems and reasons
of ACMP. The conclusion that morbility foundation of
ACMP and delayed encephalopathy may be poisoning
cascade reactions in which multiple pathomechanisms
play roles; It maybe one of important factor that patient
breathed in concentration of CO for prognosis. The key to
resolve this problem is early intervention. Reviving the
respiration and circulation early to ensure utility filling into
tissues and organs, sustaining cell normal metabolism,
especially to brain tissue. The treatments are including,
active HBO treatment, keeping breathing smooth,
ensuring utility oxygenation and circulation, improving
microcirculation, anticoagulation, reducing plasma
fibronectin. In addition, cytoprotection measures such as
anti-free radicle should be given at the right moment. At
the same time, multicentre unite research should be
carried out for better therapeutic measures.

Department of hyperbaric oxygen treatment center,
School of Aerospace Medicine, Fourth Military Medical
University, Xi’ an, China
Objective: To discuss the effect of HBO on endogenous
neural stem cells (NSCs) in rat models of accute CO
poisoning, and to analyses the mechanism of HBO
treating brain injury after accurate CO poisoning.
Methods: After set up models of accurate CO poisoning,
H-E staining was used to observe the pathological
changes of brain tissues and immunohistochemical
staining was used to observe the expression of nestin
(NSCs specified marker) and GFAP (astrocyte specified
marker). Results: The H-E staining showed that the
morphology of neurons in control group were normal, and
which of poisoned groups were degenerated and necrotic
in spots and sheets, and the cortex of CO poisoned
groups were looser as well as the cone cells of
hippocampus were thinner, but in HBO group the
degenerated and necrotic neurons became less. The
immunohistochemical staining showed the following:
expression of nestin and GFAP was normal in quantity
and morphology in control group, in CO poisoned groups
the expression of nestin was increased lightly and the
expression of GFAP was abnormal in quantity and
morphology, in HBO group GFAP positive cells became
normal, but the expression of nestin was increased
obviously. There are nestin/GFAP double positive cells in
cortex where the damage of neurons was extremely
heavy. Conclusion: Compared to control group, the
+
quantity of nestin cells was increased lightly, astrocytes
were proliferated and deformed and neurons get
degenerated and necrotic in poisoned groups and HBO
could make astrocytes become normal and have NSCs
generate, immigrate and differentiate. It is suggested that
the process of brain injury can make NSCs active and
HBO can treat the brain injury by generation, immigration
and differentiation of NSCs.

Cerebral hypoxia may be the main component of cell
damage caused by ischemia. Previous studies
demonstrated a neuroprotective effect of early hyperbaric
oxygen (HBO) treatment in various animal models of focal
cerebral ischemia. Neuropathologic study showed that
exposure of HBO may prevent cell death in ischemic
cortex. In the present study, we aimed to assess cellular
function of ischemic rat brain after HBO treatment by
means of a high-resolution positron emission tomography
scanner (microPET) used specifically for small animal
imaging. The male Sprague– Dawley rats were subjected
to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO),
with the regional cerebral blood flow monitored in vivo by
laser Doppler flowmetry. One hour after ischemia, HBO
therapy (3 atm absolute, 1 h) was initiated. Local cerebral
glucose utilization in the ischemic area was measured
before, 1 h and 3 h after ischemia, with
2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) as a tracer.
Neurological deficits and infarct volumes were assessed
at 24 h after ischemia. Our study showed that early HBO
therapy significantly reduced infarct volume of brain 24 h
after ischemia. Moreover, glucose utilization in the
ischemic area underwent asevere decrease during 1–3 h
after MCAO, while the early HBO treatment significantly
attenuated the decrease in cerebral metabolic rate of
glucose in the ischemic core of the cortex compared with
controls. We report for the first time the application of
microPET to quantify the rates of glucose metabolism in
the ischemic core of rats exposed to HBO. Our results
suggest that the early exposure of HBO can partially
reverse the downward trend for glucose utilization in the
ischemic core, which might contribute to the reported
beneficial effects of early HBO therapy on permanent
cerebral ischemia.

Objective: To evaluate the curative effects of micro-found
drilling cranium and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for patients
with extradural hematoma. Methods: According to the
volume of hematoma and GCS points of patients, ninety
four cases of extradural hematoma were divided into four
groups: conservative group (14cases, the volume of
hematoma<50ml), micro-found drilling cranium I group
(16cases, the volume of hematoma<50ml), micro-found
drilling cranium II group (28cases, the volume of
hematoma≥50ml), micro-found drilling cranium+ HBO
group (36cases, the volume of hematoma≥50ml); their
curative effects, complications, the hospitalization time
and hospitalization cost were compared respectively.
Before and after the HBO treatment, the haemodynamics
parameters of HBO group were detected and compared.
Results: The 94cases got an excellent prognosis. The
sequela, hospitalization time and cost in micro-found
drilling cranium I group were lower than in conservative
group (P<0.05); and in micro-found drilling cranium+ HBO
group were lower than in micro-found drilling cranium II
group (P<0.05). After the HBO treatment, the
haemodynamics parameters of patients were ameliorated,
and the difference were significant when compared with
the before (P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of the
micro-found drilling cranium combined with the HBO on
patients with extradural hematoma can significantly
increase the cure rate, decrease mutilation rate, and
effectively shorten the hospitalization time, save treatment

Objective ： This study was designed to explore the
distribution of oxygen concentration in different parts of
the hyperbaric oxygen chamber and the possible
influence of the different locations of oxygen inlet/outlet
and the methods of washing cabin. The oxygen inlet/outlet
were located in different ways and the oxygen samples
were gathered in the upper, middle and lower parts of the
chamber in our test. The aim of our study was to select
the most appropriate location of oxygen inlet/outlet and
the most appropriate method to wash cabin so as to
enhance the uniformity and concentration in the chamber,
which could improve the theraputical efficiency of
hyperbaric oxygen. Materials and methods：
：We used 7
choices of combination of different ways letting in or
letting out the oxygen. Meanwhile, whether patient was in
chamber and if the continuous washing was executed had
been concerned. Finally, 15 methods came out under
manifold of situation. Result and Discussion:Three
essential elements: the ways of oxygen inlet/outlet, the
state of cabin, the ways of washing, was aimed in our trial
for each of them takes great changes to the elevation of
oxygen concentration and distributive uniformity. Three
positions of inlet/outlet, three states and three opinions of
washing cabin was developed in raising, stable and
decreasing pressure period with 9 sampling spots set on
the chamber. The trial was executed with the pressure
under 0.1MPa, lasting for 80min and strictly following the
rule of Chinese medical association-HBO branch.
Measurement range is 0-100% with sampling interval of
2min. 1.Influential factors on the distribution of
oxygen concentration. The main factors can be the size
of stretcher and the location of oxygen inlet/outlet.
Unsymmetrical distribution was found, causing by the gas
shot circuit on the bottom of wide size stretcher, which
was widely used in single hyperbaric oxygen chamber. In
contrarily, the oxygen inlet on the top or middle side
braces the concentration to 65-75% with the symmetrical
distribution. On the other hand, the modification on
stretcher make help to the gas diffusion in the chamber.
2.The best method of washing cabin. Only
wash-procedure with the pressure-raise to 0.1MPa
showed distinctive difference of 2% elevation at the top
and 4% at the middle and bottom parts. Moreover, the
normal pressure method can be the best for it raise the
concentration effectively, especially up to 80%in 5
minutes in the middle part. 3.selection of sampling
spots Since the different design of stretcher and the
inlet/outlet locations vary, the regular way to set the spots
on the top of stretcher and middle of chamber fails reflect
the distribution of concentration. However, changing the
inlet position and taking the appropriate way washing
cabin can provide consistent samples everywhere in the
chamber. 4.the distribution of oxygen concentration
We found that the concentrations were same everywhere
in the cabin while the pressure was at 0.1MPa lasting for
40min. Nevertheless, great difference took place while
pressure reducing; concentration on bottom was higher
than that in other parts. The concentration came to
coordinate again when pressure dropped to 0.03MPa.
Suggestion1.The location of sampling spots should be
standardized.2.The location of oxygen inlet/outlet should
be standardized. Oxygen inlet should be set at the top of
the posterior part of the chamber, while oxygen outlet
should be set at the bottom of the anterior part of the
chamber.3.The way to wash cabin should be applied
according to the need of the patient so as to achieve the
appropriate oxygen concentration.4.The production of the
stretcher should be standardized. First, it must be
equipped with a mattress. Second, enough space should
be vacated beside the stretcher in the chamber.5. A new
function should be developed in order to mix the gas
automatically and make help to the gas diffusion in the
hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Peidong Wang, Chunping Wu, Hulong Ma, Kangmin Xie,
Yaojun Zhang, Xia Wang, Aiping Wang
Chinese HBO Medicine Association Research Center of
Brain Recovery, Nanjing, China
To improve therapeutic effect on cerebral brain
resuscitation, a comprehensive therapy with hyperbaric
oxygen (HBO) treatment as the main method was
adopted from 1991 April to 2006 Dec. Among total 973
cases of PVS patients; 14 cases patients were put to use
electrical stimulation (ES) demonstrated more excellent
effect. Judgment of therapeutic efficacy: - Rely on PVS
scoring scale and criteria of therapeutic efficacy (Nanjing,
2001). Basic recovery (consciousness or cognition
recovery) 371cases (38.13%); Obvious improvement
(score ≥ 8 –12 points) 203 cases (20.86%); Obvious
improvement (score ≥ 3 points) 190cases (19.5%); No
improvement (no change, worsening or death) 209 cases;
The general improvement rate is 78.48%; The HBO plus
ES is superior to the results of similar HBO treatment.
Some causes that affect efficacy in treatment of PVS are
analyzed as follows: From the result, it can be seen that
the efficacy of HBO treatment in traumatic cases is
obviously higher than that of non—traumatic cases; the
younger the onset happens, the higher the curative rate is;
the earlier HBO treatment is used, the better the efficacy
is; and HBO plus ES, if available in some indication cases,
shows that the more excellent effect. We suggest that
PVS patients should receive HBO therapy (and certain
cases plus ES) as early as possible is the best choice

explore the
mechanism of capillary ingrowth of
hyperbaric oxygen treatment on random skin flaps of
rabbits. Materials and Methods:
12 rabbits were
randomly divided into two different groups: control
group(n=6), hyperbaric oxygen group(n=6). Random skin
flaps models were established on the back of rabbits. The
control group was placed in normal pressure atmosphere
without hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The hyperbaric
oxygen group started to accept hyperbaric oxygen
treatment(2 ATA, 45min per time) after flap
transplantation immediately, twice a day from
post-operation to the third day, then reduced to one time
per day to the seventh day, seven days altogether. we
observed the survival area of random skin flaps and
detected capillary density and content of VEGF, HIF-1,
CX43 by using HE staining and immunohistochemistry at
rd
th
3 day and 7 day respectively. The SPSS11.5 software
was used for statistical analysis. Results: 1.The survival
area of skin flaps in the hyperbaric oxygen group was
rd
singnificantly higher than that of the control group at 3
th
day and 7 day (p<0.01); 2.The capillary density in the
hyperbaric oxygen group was higher than that of the
rd
control group at 3 day (p<0.05),the capillary density in
hyperbaric oxygen group was singnificantly higher than
th
that of the control group at 7 day (p<0.01); 3.The content
of VEGF in the hyperbaric oxygen group was higher than
rd
th
that of the control group at 3 day and 7 day (p<0.05); 4.
The content of HIF-1 in the hyperbaric oxygen group was
rd
th
lower than that of the control group at 3 day and 7 day
(p<0.05); 5.The content of CX43 in the hyperbaric oxygen
group was singnificantly higher than that of the control
rd
group at 3 day(p<0.01),the content of CX43 in the
hyperbaric oxygen group was higher than that of the
th
control group at 7
day (p<0.05). Conclusions:
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment can accelerate capillary

Objective: To study the interfering effect of
preconditioning hyperbaric oxygenation on skin flap
ischaemia tolerance. Methods: 18 SD rats were divided
the control group and the HBO preconditioning group. In
control group, an extended epigastric adipocutaneous flap
was raised, based on the right superficial epigastric artery
and vein. 3-hours flap ischemia was induced by clamping
the pedicle vessels with microvascular clamp. At the end
of ischemia induction, the clamp was removed and the
flap was sutured back. Rats in HBO preconditioning group
were treated with HBO two days before operation. Flap
surgery began 1 hour after the last HBO treatment. The
operation was the same as the control group. The size of
the designed flap and the survived flap on the fifth
postoperative day was duplicated with transparent paper.
The condition of the flap was recorded with digital camera.
,
The picture of the paper was gotten with scanner and it s
area which was equal to the area of the flap was
calculated with Acrobat soft ware. Data were analyzed
with SPSS soft ware. Results: The average designed
2
flap areas were 51.59 and 52.71 cm in the control group
and the HBO preconditioning group. The average survival
2
flap areas were 7.38 and 15.82 cm . There were obvious
difference between the control and the HBO
preconditioning group (t=4.14, P=0.003) in average
survival area. Conclusion: HBO preconditioning can rise
flap ischaemia tolerance and enhance flap survival.

To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)
therapy on histopathology, coagulation and fibrinolysis of
SANFH. Methods: 1. Experimental animal and group:
Male adult New Zealand white rabbits, ranging in weight
from 2.5 to 3.5 kg, were obtained from experimental
center of capital university of medical sciences and
randomly divided into eleven groups including Group N
(control group); Group M24h, M48h, M1, M2, M4, M6(model
groups); GroupH1, H2, H4, H6(HBO groups). Each group
had eight rabbits. 2. Model establishment and HBO

in group M and H were killed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6
weeks respectively after the second injection of LPS and
the tissue samples of the femoral head were observed
with light microscopic examination.
Results: 1.
Histopathologic examination: In group N, the bone
trabeculaes align trimly in subchondral zone of femoral
head. Empty lacunae were found occasionally. Large
hematopoietic tissues were seen in marrow with fat cells
disseminated sporadically. In group M, it was
distinguished that fat cells were increased in both the
number and the size, whereas hematopoietic tissues were
decreased; Subchondral bone and bone trabeculae
showed empty lacunae, pycnotic nuclei and apparently
discrete; Among trabeculae, fat cells showed hyperplasia
and hypertrophy, such pathologic changes showed
particularly significant in group M4, in which marrow were
nearly accumulated with fat cells and the disruption and
fusion of fat cells were seen obviously. In group H, the
number of fat cells was more than that in group N, less
than that in group M, obviously changes were found in
group H4 and H6; Apparently trabeculae loose were not
found; pycnotic nuclei and empty lacunae rate were
significantly decreased than those of group M. Fibrous
tissue becomes more prominent in marrow in group H6
and there were apparently active osteoblasts surrounding
bone trabeculae in metaphyseal area. 2. Hematologic
examination: AT-III : Compare to group N, group M were
significantly higher at 24 hours after the first injection of
LPS(P<0.05), began to decrease at 48 hours, and
reached minimum at 1 week (P<0.05), Group H were not
different in comparison with group N, whereas obviously
decreasing at 4 and 6 weeks(P<0.01); TM: Compare to
group N, group M began to increase at 24 hours after
the first injection of LPS, and reached maximum at 1
week(P<0.01), group H were significantly lower than
group M at 1week(P<0.05), whereas more higher at 4
weeks(P<0.05); tPA: Compare to group N, group M began
to decrease at 24 hours after the first injection of LPS and
reached minmum at 2 weeks(P<0.01), group H were
significantly higher than group M at 2 weeks(P<0.05),
whereas not different than group N; PAI-1: Compare to
group N, group M began to increase at 24 hours after the
first injection of LPS and were significantly higher at 48
hours, 1 and 2weeks(P<0.01), then began to decrease
after 2 weeks, the value were not different than group N at
4 and 6 weeks. group H were significantly lower than
group M at 2 weeks(P<0.01), whereas not different than
group N. Conclusion: HBO intervention can inhibit
hyperplasia and hypertrophy of fat cells in marrow, reduce
the extent of osteonecrosis and enhance the ability of
fibrous reparation and bone reconstruction after
osteonecrosis; HBO therapy can improve obstruction of
coagulation and fibrinolysis of SANFH.

Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China
Background Recent studies have demonstrated that
preconditioning with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) can reduce
ischemic and hemorrhagic brain injury. The aim of this
study was to investigate the effects of HBO
preconditioning on traumatic brain injury (TBI) at high
altitude
and
examine
the
role
of
matrix
metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in such protection. Methods
Thirty-nine male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were
randomly divided into three groups: HBO preconditioning
group (HBOP n=13), high altitude group (HA n=13) and
high altitude sham operation group (HASO n=13). All
groups were subjected to head trauma using a weight
drop device except for the HASO group. The rats in the
HBOP group received 5 sessions of HBO preconditioning
(2.5 ATA, 100% oxygen, 1 hour daily) and then were kept
in a hypobaric chamber at a pressure of 0.6 ATA(simulate
the pressure of high altitude of 4000 meters) for 3 days
before operation. The animals in the HA group received
control pretreatment (1 ATA, room air, 1 hour daily), then
followed the same procedures to the HBOP group. In the
HASO group, rats were only opened a skull window
without injuring the brain. Twenty-four hours after TBI,
neurological function and brain water content of 7 rats in
each group were examined and 6 rats in each group were
killed
for
hematoxylin-eosin
staining
and
immunohistochemical
analyses. Results
The
neurological outcome in the HBO group (0.71±0.49) was
better than that in the HA group (1.57±0.53; PP<0.01).
The brain morphology and structure presented by light
microscope was destroyed greatly in the HA group,
including massive cells necrosis, conspicuous edema of
interstitium, hemorrhage, and so on, while less
pathological injuries occurred in the HBO group.
Compared to HA group, pretreatment with HBO
significantly reduced the number of MMP-9-positive cells
(92.25±8.85 vs. 74.42±6.27; P<0.01). Conclusions HBO
preconditioning can attenuate TBI in rats at high altitude.
The decline of MMP-9 expression may contribute to HBO
preconditioning-induced protection of brain tissue against
TBI.

China
Objective: To investigate the effect and the possible
influencial mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) on
the proliferation and death in human nasopharyngeal
carcinoma(NPC) cell line CNE2Z by viewing the inhibition
ratio of proliferation(IROP) and mortality rate(MR) and the
content
of
superoxide
dismutase(SOD)
and
malondialdehyde(MDA) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
cells through HBO disposal. Method: Nasopharyngeal
carcinoma(NPC) cell line CNE2Z were divided into 3
groups randomly, Group A: control group; Group B:
hyperbaric
oxygen(0.20MPa);Group
C:hyperbaric
oxygen(0.25MPa). The IROP in CNE2Z cells of all groups
were detected by MTT reduction assay and the MR were
detected by PI staining; as well as the content of SOD and
MDA were detected. Result: The IROP and MR of B, C
groups were dramatically increased comparing with A
group(P0.05);There were no statistical difference in the
content
of
SOD
between
A,
B
and
C
groups(P>0.05);There were statistical difference in the
content of MDA between A、B and C groups(P0.05).
Conclusion: HBO disposal could increase the IROP and
MR of human NPC cell line CNE2Z, and elevated the
MDA content in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, it had
hinted that HBO disposal could inhibit the proliferation of
NPC cells and promoted the death of NPC cells by
increasing the content of MDA.

Liu Jinglong
Heilongjiang Rehabilitation Hospital, Ha’erbin, China
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Hyperbaric
Oxygenation (HBO) on unilateral spatial neglect (USN)
and basic activities of daily living (B-ADL) after stroke.
Methods: Sequentially access 93 stroke patients with
hemiplegia admitted to the Heilongjiang Province
Rehabilitation Hospital, according with the following: first
stroke, no aphasia, no dementia, no cognitive disorder
and serious system disease, were classified upon
admission as having USN (group A; n = 43; 46.2% of the
entire sample) or not having such disturbance (group
B(control group ); n = 50; 53.8% of the sample). The age
of all was between 35 and 75 ,and began to get
rehabilitation within 4weeks .By ‘cross-out’ test, ‘digit
cancellation’ test, ‘line-bisection’, clock drawing, ‘free
hand drawing’ test, we examined the unilateral spatial
neglect. When 3 of the 5 tests are abnormal or more, we
thought the patient had unilateral spatial neglect. Both
groups received standard rehabilitation treatment at most
6 weeks after stoke onset, including daily physiotherapy,
occupational therapy, traditional Chinese medicine and
other therapy in accord with individual needs. The group A
was randomly divided into two groups –group
A1(experimental group)(22) and A2 (observation
group)(21).And group A1 was in Hyperbaric Oxygenation
(HBO) synchronously ,but group A2 not .HBO was 2
hours per day and 6 times per week . The Modified
Barthel Index (MBI) was used to assess patients' capacity
in B-ADL. Assessment was done upon admission to
rehabilitation and 6 weeks afterwards. Results: Before
treatment, the patients in A1 and A2 scored significantly
lower with BI than those in B (P < 0. 05). After treatment,
the patients in all groups scored significantly higher with
BI assessment (P < 0. 001). However, the score with BI
assessment in A2 was lower than those in B, but no
significant difference (P >0. 05), and there was no
significant difference between A1 and B (P > 0. 05). But
there was significant difference between A1 and A2 (P< 0.
05). Conclusion: USN had significant impact on the
recovery of the independent living of stroke patients. The
rehabilitative intervention for USN may improve ADL
performance of stroke patients with USN.

China
Objective: To analyze the clinical features, nomenclature,
criteria
for
diagnosis,
possible
pathogenesis,
pharmacological
management
and
hyperbaric
oxygenation therapy (HBOT) of vegetative state patients
with paroxysmal dysautonomia after brain injury. Methods:
The clinical presentations, auxiliary examinations,
treatment effect and prognosis were retrospectively
analyzed for 19 vegetative state patients with paroxysmal
dysautonomia after brain injury. Results: Among 19
patients, There were 12 cases of severe traumatic brain
injury, 1 case of cerebellar hemorrhage and received
evacution of hematoma, 1 case of heroin toxic
encephalopathy, 2 cases of severe carbon monoxide
poisoning, 3 cases of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (1 for electrical injury,
1 for coronary angiography and coronary stent
implantation and 1 for cardiac arrest due to anaesthetic
accident). They had most of the symptoms such as
agitation,
hyperthemia,
diaphoresis,
tachypnea,
tachycardia, hypertension, dystonia. No epileptic wave
was found on their electroencephalogram (EEG). Latent
period of physiological waves was prolonged and
amplitude was fallen down on brain auditory evoked
potential (BAEP) and somatosensory evoked potential
(SEP). Varied degree lesions were detected in the cortex,
subcortex, or brainstem by neuroimaging. Most frequently
used drugs were dopamine agonist or antagonist,
benzodiazepines and muscle relaxants. Once their
symptoms were controlled, HBOT could be prescribed for
them. Conclusions: Paroxysmal dysautonomia following
Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of hyperbaric
oxygen (HBO) against traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats,
the time window of efficacy and optimal treatment times,
and to investigate the underlying mechanisms of HBO for
TBI treatment. Methods: TBI was induced in rats with the
modified Feeney’s method. For the sham-operated group,
only a bone window was opened without traumatic injury.
An animal hyperbaric oxygen chamber was used to carry
out HBO treatment. Treatment pressure was maintained
at 3ATA of duration 60min with compression or
decompression time of 6min, respectively. The chamber
was kept ventilation with pure oxygen at a flow rate of
2L/min during compression and HBO exposure. The
treatment groups received HBO therapy at 3h, 6h, 12h
and 24h, respectively, after TBI. In addition, at 24h after
TBI three groups of rats received HBO therapy for once,
three, or five times, respectively. The neurological
behavior score, brain water content and Nissl staining
were measured to identify the time window of efficacy and
optimal treatment times. The content of SOD and MDA,
levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and
IL-10) and cell apoptosis (TUNEL method and mRNA of
bax, bcl-2 and caspase-3) in the surrounding brain tissue
of the primary injury were determined to uncover the
underlying mechanisms of HBO therapy. Furthermore, the
expression of the markers of glia cells (GFAP, Vimentin
and S-100) were detected with immunohistochemistry.
Results: In addition to the time point 24h after TBI, HBO
treatment at other three time points 3h, 6h and 12h
displayed significant therapeutic efficacy on TBI, with
decreases of the neurology deficit score, brain water
content and the damage of brain tissue (P0.05).
Compared with control group, HBO treatment at 6h after
TBI elevated the content of SOD and IL-10, reduced the
level of MDA, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in traumatic brain
tissue. HBO treatment also increased the expression of
bcl-2 mRNA with decrease of the ratio of bax/bcl-2,
reduced the bax and caspsase-3 mRNA and the TUNEL
positive cells. Moreover, the three markers of glial cells all
showed a high expression in the surrounding tissue of the
primary traumatic cortex. Conclusion: HBO exerted a
neuroprotective effect on the brain tissue after TBI, the
efficacy increased when HBO treatment was carried out at
earlier time after TBI. Meanwhile the increase of treatment
times raised the therapeutic effect of HBO at 24h after TBI.
This effect of HBO may be potentially mediated through
following mechanisms: inhibiting the oxidative stress,
reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines, and
suppressing the neuronal apoptosis.

XiangYa Hospital, Central South University, Hunan, China
Objective: Studies suggest that after brain injury,
hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is neuroprotective by stimulating
cell proliferation. We examine whether HBO promotes
neural stem cells (NSC) to proliferate and differentiate in
neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD)
rats. Methods: Seven-day-old rat pups were subjected to
unilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 2 hours of
hypoxia (8% O2). HBO was administered 2 ATA, once
daily for 7 days within 3 hours after HIBD. The proliferating
neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and
dentate gyrus (DG) were dynamically examined by
5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine
(BrdU)/nestin
immunofluorescence. Nestin protein was detected by
Western blot analysis at various time points (from 6 hours
to 14 days) after HIBD. The migrating NSCs were
examined
by
BrdU/doublecortin
(DCX)
immunofluorescence 7 and 14 days after HIBD. The
phenotype of the newborn cells was identified by
BrdU/β-tubulin, BrdU/ glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)
and
BrdU/O4
(oligodendrocyte
marker)
immunofluorescence. Myelin basic protein (MBP) was
examined by immunohistochemistry and pathological
changes of the brain tissue were detected 28 days after
HIBD. Results: In neonatal HI rats treated with HBO, the
proliferation of endogenous NSC was observed in the SVZ
and DG. Cell numbers peaked 7 days after HIBD and
proliferating NSC migrated to the cerebral cortex at 14 d
after HIBD. Twenty-eight days after HIBD, an increase in
newly generated neurons, oligodendrocytes and MBP was
observed in the HBO group compared to the untreated
and HIBD rats. Conclusions: This study suggests that
HBO treatment may promote neurogenesis of the
endogenous NSC in neonatal HIBD rats, contributing to
repair of the injured brain.

Objective: It is clear that hyperbaric oxygen
preconditioning (HBO-PC) provides spinal cord protection
against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induced injury. This
study tested hypothesis that HBO-PC induces expression
of endogenous antioxidant enzymes and anti-apoptotic
proteins Bcl-2 resulting in a motor neuronal mitochondrial
phenotype to prevent early apoptosis. Methods: Male
Sprague-Dawley
rats
were
preconditioned
with
consecutive 4 cycles of 1-h HBO exposures (2.5
atmospheres absolute [ATA], 100%O2) at a 12-h interval.
At 24 h after the last HBO pretreatment, rats underwent 9
min of spinal cord ischemia induced by occlusion of the
descending thoracic aorta in combination with systemic
hypotension (40 mmHg). Neurological function, TUNEL
analysis and activities of caspase-3,9 were assessed
during the first day after reperfusion. Mitochondria isolated
from spinal cord of non-preconditioned (control) and
HBO-preconditioned rats were studied before or after
spinal cord ischemia. Results: Spinal cord ischemia
produced marked neuronal death and neurological
dysfunction in animals. HBO-PC enhanced expression of
Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), catalase, and Bcl-2
in the mitochondria in the normal spinal cord at 24 h after
the last pretreatment (before spinal cord ischemia) and
retained higher levels throughout the early reperfusion in
the ischemic spinal cord. HBO-PC decreased superoxide
and hydrogen peroxide levels in mitochondria and
reduced cytochrome c release into the cytosol in the
lumbar spinal cord at 1 h after reperfusion. HBO-PC
attenuated caspase-3 and -9, reduced motor neuronal
apoptosis in the lumbar ventral horn, and improved
neurological function at 24 h after spinal cord ischemia.
HBO-PC increased nitric oxide (NO) production.
L-nitroarginine-methy-ester (L-NAME, 10 mg/kg), a
nonselective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, applied
before each HBO-PC protocol, and abolished these
beneficial effects of HBO-PC. Conclusion: We conclude
that HBO-PC reduced spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion
injury by increasing Mn-SOD, catalase and Bcl-2, and by
suppressing mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. NO may be
involved in this neuroprotection.

Objective: The present study examined the hypothesis
that cerebral ischemic tolerance induced by hyperbaric
oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC) is associated with an
increase of antioxidant enzyme activities. Methods: Male
Sprague-Dawley rats (250-280g, n=74) were divided into
sham, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 90 min,
and MCAO plus HBO-PC groups. HBO-PC was
conducted four times by given 100% oxygen at 2.5
atmosphere absolute(ATA), for 1 hour at every 12 hours
interval for 2 days. At 24 hours after the last HBO-PC,
MCAO was performed and at 24 hours after MCAO,
neurological function and Nissl Staining were performed to
evaluate the effect of HBO-PC. Malondialdehyde (MDA)
content, activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px)
sampled from hippocampus, ischemic penumbra or core
of cortex were measured. Results: HBO-PC improved
neurological recovery, lessened neuronal injury, reduced
the level of MDA and increased the antioxidant activity of
CAT and SOD. Conclusion: These observations
demonstrated that an upregulation of the antioxidant
enzyme activities by HBO preconditioning plays an
important role in the generation of tolerance against brain
ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Background Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been used
therapeutically in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)
injury models established by clamping superior
mesenteric artery, with ameliorating intestinal ischemic
damage. This study was designed to investigate the
effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the
ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of gut in rats after
resuscitation from trauma and hemorrhagic shock (T/HS)
and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods An
iron mass from a retainable height smashed to the left
thigh of Wistar rat vertically, and at the same time, rats
was bled to establish T/HS model and subsequently
resuscitated with shed blood and normal saline. Just prior
to resuscitation, Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4
groups: sham group, shock group, one HBO treatment
(HBOT) and three HBO treatment group. Results The
levels of lactic acid, induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),
nitric oxide (NO), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in
intestinal tissue in one HBOT and three HBOT group after
24 hours from resuscitation were significantly lower than
those in the shock group (P<0.05); The histological injury
grading score of intestinal tissue in one or three HBOT
group was lower than that in shock group and the
difference between them was significant (P<0.05).
Transmission electron microscopic photographs of
intestinal epithelium displayed that microvilli were
hampered and lost, tight junction opened, mitochondrial
crista disappearing, mitochondrium lysis,
rough
endoplasmic
reticulum
expansion,
desmosomes
disappearing etc in shock group; whereas, the tight
junction, desmosomes and mitochondrium appeared
preserved in HBOT groups. All the above-mentioned
indicators of three HBOT group were better than those of
one HBOT group, but the difference was not significant
(P>0.05). Conclusion HBO therapy can improve oxygen
supply to intestine after resuscitation from T/HS, reduce
the anaerobic metabolism, preserved tight junction and
mucosal barrier, and decreased the production of
inflammatory factor after resuscitation from T/HS, inhibit
the excessive inflammatory reaction. Thus HBO prevented
intestine and mucosal barrier from I/R injury after
resuscitation from T/HS.

Kidney dysfunction caused by rat hind limb
ischemia/reperfusion and effect of hyperbaric oxygen
on it
Chun-jin GAO,
Biao YUAN,
Guo-zhong WANG,
Da-zhi CHEN
Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing, China
Objective: Acute limb ischemia is one of the most
challenging problems encountered by the contemporary
vascular practitioner. Its incidence approximates 1.7
cases per 10,000 population per year. Despite
improvements in patient care and operative technique, the
morbidity and mortality remain high, with mortality rates in
excess of 25% and amputation in 20% of the survivors.
The high rate of morbidity and mortality of acute limb
ischemia should be mainly attributable to the ischemia
/reperfusion itself. Severe hypoperfusion of a limb, if left
untreated, will inevitably develop into tissue infarction and
irreversible cell death. Patients with acute occlusion of the
abdominal aorta are in an extremely compromised state.
The patient's status will likely further deteriorate at the
instant of reperfusion, and sudden cardiovascular collapse
is commonly encountered with the release of accumulated
metabolic by-products into the circulation, which maybe
results in remote multiple organ injury, that is, multiple
organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS). The reason is that
lower limb ischemia/reperfusion injury triggers a systemic
inflammatory response (SIRS, systemic inflammatory
response syndrome). Morbidity and mortality following
reperfusion of the acute ischemic limb may be a
manifestation of multiple organ dysfunction caused by a
systemic inflammatory response triggered by reperfusion
of the ischemic extremities. Hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) has
been used therapeutically in a variety of I/R injury models,
and the application of HBO to I/R disease appears
effective. The basic mechanisms responsible for the
beneficial effect of HBO in treating I/R injury are becoming
better understood. HBO treatment may simultaneously
provide a beneficial effect directed at many components
responsible for I/R injury, including neutrophil,
endothelium, inflammatory mediators, lipid peroxidation,
cellular energetics, and microvascular blood flow. But so
far, there has been no literature on the application of HBO
to kidney dysfunction which results from acute limb I/R.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is
potential protective effect of HBO on kidney dysfunction
which is associated with hind limb ischemia/reperfusion in
rat model, and to discuss mechanism of HBO on it.
Methods: Adult male SD rats weighing 220～250g were
used in the study. Animals were kept under standard
condition. They were anesthetized with intraperitoneal
urethane(1.0g/kg) and secured in a supine position on a
heating pad(which is controlled by a model CMA/150
Temperature Controller system); body temperature was
o
kept at 37 C after being shaved. Tracheostomy was
performed with PE-240 tubing(1.67 mm internal diameter),
which allowed spontaneous ventilation with room air .The
left carotid artery was cannulated with PE-50 tubing(0.58
mm internal diameter), and arterial pressure and heart
rate were monitored continuously on a model 7702B
recorder with a 1280 series transducer. The right external
jugular vein was cannulated with PE-50 tubing(0.58 mm
internal diameter)for fluid administration. All animals were
then allowed a 30-minute equilibration period. Intravenous
Ringer’s lactate was administered to maintain the systolic
blood pressure > 90 mmHg throughout the experiment.
The laparotomy was performed. Bilateral hind limb
ischemia was induced by applying an atraumatic clip at
the end of abdominal aorta adjacent to junction site of both
femoral artery. At the end of the ischemic period,
reperfusion of the limbs was achieved by releasing the
clamp. The experimental animals was randomly divided
into three groups, and each group had 10 rats. (1) In
surgical sham group, the animals were subjected to the
operation without clamping abdominal aorta. (2) In
ischemia/reperfusion group, after hind limb ischemia for
2h, reperfusion period was 1h. (3) In HBO group, after
hind limb ischemia for 2h, this group animals were put into
a model DWC150-300 hyperbaric oxygen chamber(HBO
pressure in chamber is 0.2MPa)to be treated for 1h during
1h reperfusion period. The other above groups were put
into the normal pressure air. By using laser Doppler
flowmetry (LDF), the microvascular blood flow was
measured in kidney of the animals. The mean
immunofluorescence intensity of CD31, CD61 or positive
percentage of CD62p were measured by the flow
cytometry(FCM). Ultrastructural histological pathological
changes in kidney were studied. Results: Compared with
I/R group, the microvascular blood flow of the kidney in
HBO group was significantly increased, had significant
statistical difference (P<0.05). Compared with surgical
sham group, the expression of platelet membrane
glycoprotein CD31,CD62p in I/R group was much
higher(P<0.05). The expression of platelet membrane
glycoprotein CD31,CD62p in HBO group was much
decreased than that in I/R group(P<0.05). In I/R group,
extensive ultrastructural histological pathological injury of
kidney occurred. The ultrastructural histological
pathological changes in HBO group was obviously
alleviated. Conclusions: The expression of CD31 and
CD62p on the platelet membrane significantly increased
after rat hind limb ischemia/reperfusion model, indicating
the platelet-activating factor(PAF) was activated, which
partially result in inducing SIRS and remote multiple organ
injury. According to this study, early HBO therapy can
significantly decreased the expression of CD31 and
CD62p on the platelet, indicating the PAF was inhibited,
maybe which stopped a series of PMNL activation ，
adhesion and systemic inflammation after reperfusion of
ischemic hind limb. And the microvascular blood flow of
the kidney in HBO group was significantly increased, the
ultrastructural histological pathological changes such as
kidney in HBO group was obviously alleviated .As a kind
of effective therapy , HBO can alleviate the pathological
changes in kidney dysfunction caused by rat hind limb
ischemia/reperfusion model.

Military Medical University
Objective: To study the effects of preconditioning with
hyperbaric oxygen on expression of GFAP and Nestin
after spinal cord injury in rats at different time. Methods:
fifty-five adult Sprague-Dawley adult rats, weighing from
250 to 300g, were randomly divided into 3 groups,
hyperbaric oxygen preconditional group(25,n=5) , normal
injury group(25,n=5)and control group(5,n=5). In the
experimental groups, the rat spinal cord injury models
,
were established by the way of Allen s method and the
expression and proliferation of nestin and GFAP at
different time(1 day, 5 day, 7 day, 10day, 14day) were
observed with immunohistochemical staining and the
analytical system of photographs. Results: In the normal
control group, the expression of nestin was hardly seen
except ependymal cells of central canal, and the low
expression of GFAP was seen. In the experimental groups,
the nestin and GFAP expressions increased obviously in
the injured sites and adjacent sites 1 day to 5 days after
injury, reached the peak value after 7days and followed by
gradual decrease from 10 days to 14 days. There were
statistically significant differences in the nestin and GFAP
expressions between the preconditional group and normal
injury group especially the control group. Conclusion
The above results suggest that spinal cord injury can
induce the expression of nestin and GFAP.HBO
preconditioning can induce the proliferation and
differentiation of the neural stem cells in rats after spine
cord injury.

Objective: To explore the short-term effect of hyperbaric
oxygen(HBO)based on conventional therapies in full-term
neonates
with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
(HIE),and the effect of ameliorate sequelaes such as
deafness, cerebral palsy and mental retardation. Methods:
100 full-term neonates with HIE were comprised, 52 were
administered with HBO and conventional therapies, and
the control group comprised 48 patients who were
administered with conventional therapies only. Brainstem
auditory evoked potential and brain CT scan before, 3
months after and 6months after management were
registered respectively. Results: The amelioration rate of
Brainstem auditory evoked potential in treatment group
and control group were 84%, 73% respectively. The
amelioration rate of brain CT scan in treatment group and
control group were 95%, 80% respectively. There is
distinct difference between the two groups (P<0.01). The
therapeutic effect was significant in HBO group than in the
control group. Conclusion: HBO therapy has a marked
short term effect in HIE patients and need to be used as
early as possible. Because of the severity of illness,
rapidness of changes and lack of response, the patients
need to be observed and nursing carefully while taking
HBO.

Recent advance in researches of laboratory and clinic
on hyperbaric oxygen therapy and stem cell
Chen Yifei
Guangzhou City First Peoples Hospital, Guangzhou
Medical College, Guangzhou, China
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a relatively new
medical treatment that was developed in 1960’s and has
been applied extensively in medical system now. It has
been successfully used in treating a lot of diseases, such
as carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness,
gas Infarction and gas gangrene. There have been
numerous basic and clinical researches on HBO in the
decades. However, the treatment mechanism of HBO
should be explored further and detailedly. Human stem
cell (HSC) is one kind of cell that plays a very important
role in the development and growth of human body and
possesses very strong self-renewal and differentiation
potential. HSC can differentiate into almost all of cell types
of adult body. Compared with traditional therapy,
Application of HSC to treatment of human disease has
many advantages: lower toxin or non-toxin, long effective,
no
immune
repulsion
when
using
self-HSC
transplantation. Therefore, HSC has huge medical value
and extensive application potentials and has been a hot
spot of scientific research in the world now. Reseaches on
HSC are focused in Embryonic Stem Cells, neural stem
cell and hemopoietic stem cell.Recently, a lot of
researches from laboratory and clinic suggested that HBO
could mobilize marrow stem cell into peripheral circulation;
it also could induce proliferation and differentiation of
endogenetic neural stem cell and reduce death of
damaged stem cell. Clinical investigation showed that
HBO could effectively mobilize the hemopoietic stem cell
of peripheral blood. Thus, it is causing tremendous
interest and attention of medical researchers that HBO, a
safety, effectiveness, economy and practicality of therapy,
has action on human stem cell. This article will review the
advance in recent researches on HBO and stem cell,
including 1. biological functions of stem cell; 2. recent
laboratory and clinic researches about HBO impact on
HSC; 3. potential applications of HBO impact on HSC to
clinical treatment of diseases. This article will further
highlight the mechanism of HBO therapy and provide the
newest information of HBO and HSC for medical workers.

Objective: To study the effect of air pressure chamber
treatment on blood oxygen saturation, and arterial biood
gas analysas of people first arrival at plateau. Methods:
130 new enlisted soldiers were recruited. 65 of them were
enrolled as therapeutic group and the others as control
randomly. The therapeutic group subjects were
trentmented
with
air
pressure
chamber(0.1-0.12Mpa,40-50min ,once a day) after their
arrival at plateau., .The test index included blood oxygen
saturation, arterial, blood gas analysis, morphology of
erythrocyte under the light microscope and anoxia
symptom. Results: After the arrival at Lhasa, some
subjects suffered from anoxia symptom, were faded away
after laser treatment of air pressure chamber. The oxygen
saturation (SaO2)decreased in all subjects, from 98% at
Chengdu airport to 80%(SaO2),PO2 decreased to
50.3mmHg around at the evening of the day after arrival.
The saturation automatically increased from the second
day gradually. But the group with air pressure chamber,
were significantly more than the control (p＜0.01) . At the
end of observation, the SaO2 restored to 97% around in
treated group, and to 90% around in the control group
(p<0.01).The PO2 restored to 83.6mmHg around in the
control group,and to 50.3mmHg around in the control
group(p<0.01). Conclusions: The treatment of air
pressure chamber can increase anoxia-resisting capability
Objective: The aim is to assess the effectiveness of
adjunctive HBOT in the treatment of permanent MCAO
rats for only once continue 9 hours in super-early stage,
and to find one of the probable mechanisms of HBOT.
Methods: (1) models and groups: Using the intraluminal
suture method, we subjected male Sprague-Dawley rats
to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion model ,
then the rats were randomly divided into MCAO control
group and HBOT group, a sham control group and a
sham-HBOT group also be used. And the groups were
divided into 13h and 5d subgroups. (2) HBOT protocol:
After being modeled for 3 hours, rats in the sham-HBOT
and HBOT groups stayed in the hyperbaric cabin for 9
st

th
th
hours. They inhaled pure oxygen at the 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 and
th
nd
th
th
th
9 hours, and hyperbaric air at the 2 , 4 , 6 and 8
hours. After being created into models, rats in the sham
control group and MCAO control groups breathed room air.
(3) Main Outcome Measures: ① The Garcia neurological
grading systems were used on 3h, 13h, 24h, 3d and 5d to
assess the therapeutic effect of HBOT. ② The infarction
volume was calculated with the TTC pathological staining
on 13h and 5d points. ③ The expression of VEGF was
measured using immunohistochemical stainingon 13h and
5d points. Results: (1)The neurobehavioral outcomes
were improved with time going in all subgroups, there is
significant different between 13h subgroups using Garcia
scale(P<0.01).Also, neurobehavioral outcomes improved
after 13h in 5d subgrops, those of the HBOT group were
more improved comparing with MCAO group, but there is
no different (P>0.05). (2) Cerebral infarction volume of
rats in MCAO group was larger on 5d than that on
13h(P<0.05), and the infarction volume was smaller in
HBOT group comparing with MCAO group on 5d, there is
significant different(P<0.05). (3) The expressions of VEGF
were increased in MCAO groups and HBOT groups.
HBOT groups showed increased VEGF expression
significantly compared with MCAO group on 5d point
(P<0.01). Conclusions: (1) Durative-9h HBOT protecol
was effect, HBOT inproved neurobehavioral outcomes
and cerebral infarction volume, but the effectiveness was
to be further defined. (2) Stimulate the more production of
endogenous VEGF which related with capillary formation,
reduced infarction volume and neural protection is one of
the probable mechanisms of HBOT.

Neural stem cells (NSC) existed in the brain lifelong and
can be activated. This study was undertaken to assess
whether HBO treatment promoted the proliferation of NSC
and repaired the brain damage regardless of when it is
started, thus to explore the therapeutic window of HBO
treatment. Methods: Seven-day-old Sprague-Dawley
rats underwent left carotid ligation followed by 2 hours of
hypoxic stress (8% O2 at 37°C). Hyperbaric oxygen
therapy was administered 3, 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours after
HIBD.
5-bromo-2’-deoxyurindine
and
5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine/nestin
were
detected
by
immunofluorescence and nestin was examined by
western blot analysis 10 days after HIBD. T-maze forced
alternation, the foot-fault test, and the radial arm maze
were conducted at P 22 days (14 d after HIBD), P 30 days,
and P 34 days. Thereafter, cerebral morphology was
examined by Nissl-staining 28 days after HIBD. Results:
There were remarkable increases in the proliferation of
neural stem cells in the HBO-treated group, 3, 6, 12, and
24 hours after HIBD, as compared with the HIBD group.
The HBO-treated group, 3, 6, and 12 hours after HIBD,
performed better in the behavioral test and had less neural
loss in the hippocampal CA1 region as compared with the
HIBD group. Conclusion: The therapeutic window for
effective HBO treatment could be delayed up to 12 hours
after HIBD, while the effect decreased 24 hours after
HIBD.

Three phenomenon and the theoretical explanation of
hyperbaric oxygen medicine
Xiao Pingtian
Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha,
China
In the natural world, it is common that many things can be
divided into three different parts, which are so called
“three-morphous phenomenon”. Moreover, there are
always some inherent correlations and regularities with
these three different forms of the same things. For
example, the quantitative traits have three typic normal
distributions and the objects have three typical movement
modes. With regard to human body, there are three typical
modalities of organs’ connection. “three-morphous
phenomenon” does exist commonly in the field of
hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) medicine, such as tristate
therapy, three states of substances, three stages and
three functions of HBO therapy, three methods of
compression and de-compression, three laws of gas
getting into or out of the body due to the changes of
environmental
gas
pressure.
The
study
of
“three-morphous phenomenon” in HBO medicine will
further enhance our understanding the intrinsic laws of
HBO and benefit the patients for a better therapeutic
effect.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in professional athletes
muscle injuries. a series of 51 cases
Philippe Colombani, Olivier Simon, Andréas Kauert, Bern
ard Gamain, Jean-Marc Lapoussière, Marcel Chatel
Nice Hyperbaric Oxygen Center, Pasteur University
Hospital, Nice, France
Background: Traumatic muscle injury affects muscular
fibers, but also conjunctive and vascular tissues. It
provokes lesions similar to an ischemia-perfusion
syndrome, reason why hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
has been suggested to contribute efficiently to structural
and functional recovery. However, until now, clinical
studies were conducted only on delayed-onset muscle
soreness (DOMS) and there is no study with statistical
evidence of improvement due to HBOT. Patients and
methods: Fifty-one professional athletes were treated in
Nice Hyperbaric Oxygen Center, among them, 67% were
professional soccer players (mean age 29 +/-10 y).
Wounds occurred during training or competition. They
concerned mostly lower extremities. Muscles injuries were
of various grade: pulled, strained or torned. Beside of
conventional local treatments, HBOT was prescribed
(100% O2 at 2,7 ATA during 45 min; 2 sessions per day).
Mean number of sessions was 12 (range from 1 to 31).
Results: Assessment criteria were clinical, radiological
and functional: 1. Clear reduction of the volume of the limb
and rapid decreasing spontaneous or provoked pain level.
2. Echography or MNR imaging: reduction of size of
hematoma and inflammatory oedema. 3. Shortening of the
resumption of training and quality of muscle strength.
Conclusions: Although this was not a “control cohort”
study, this series suggests that HBOT is apt to bring a
clear-cut and fast improvement in clinical symptoms and
imaging findings after traumatic muscle injury. HBOT
performed in the early stages of intensive sport practice
muscle injury provides a quicker and better quality of
recovery, which is highly important for professional
athletes (and their coach!). Controlled randomized studies
should be done imperatively for confirming these
preliminary results.

Objective: It is well known that high-concentration oxygen
(HO) can cause retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and
bronchopulmonary
dysplasia
(BPD).
However,
high-pressure oxygen (HBO) in the treatment of hypoxic
ischemic brain damage (HIBD) process is also toxic effect
is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate
the neuroprotection of HBO and its toxicity on HIBD
neonatal
rats.
Methods:
Seven-day-old
Sprague-Dauleys(SD)rats were randomly divided into six
groups: (1) Control group; (2) HIBD group; (3) HO group;
(4) hyperbaric air group (HA); (5) HBO group; (6)
HO+HBO group. The HA and HBO groups were
administered respectively with 2.0 ATA for 60 minutes of
air or oxygen in HIBD after 2 hrs, once daily for 7 days.
The HO group was given 90% oxygen inhalation after
HIBD for 7 days. The HO +HBO groups were given 90%
oxygen inhalation and HBO daily for 7 days. The animals
were killed on the 21st., Results: Comparison with the
CON group, the number of TUNEL positive cells in
hippocampal CA1 were increased significantly in the HIBD,
HA and HO groups, but not obvious increase in HBO and
HO+HBO. The number of nuclei of the new vessels was
higher in HO and HO+HBO groups. Retinal stretched
preparation vessels in HO and HO+HBO groups
increased significantly, while there were no changes in
evidence in the other groups. Retina VEGF expression
was stronger in HO and HO+HBO group than other
groups. Lung tissue stained with HE showed that the
alveoli pulmonis were damaged obviously in HO and
HO+HBO groups. Conclusions: HBO treatment has
neuroprotective effects on HIBD neonatal rats, but no
toxicity on ocular and lung. Retinal vessel proliferation
induced by high-concentration oxygen was related to the
increasing of the VEGF expression.,

rats and development after HBO
Xiaoping Xie, Jinsheng Li, Wenlan Wang
Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Center,
School of Aerospace Medicine, Fourth Military Medical
University, Xi’ an, China
Objective: To investigate the expression of monocyte
chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and aggregation of
monocytes/macrophages in brain of acute carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoned rats and to provide new
evidence for immunological mechanism of delayed
neuropathological sequelae (DNS) after CO exposure.
Methods: 50 SD male rats were randomly assigned to
control, CO exposure for 1d, 3d, 7d and HBO treatment for
7d groups, and ten rats for each group. HE,
immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were performed to
study the expression of MCP-1 and aggregation of
monocytes/macrophages in brain. Results: Expression of
MCP-1 was very low in control group, which increased
quickly after 1d of CO exposure. It reached peak value in
3d exposure group, but decreased after 7d of exposure. In
HBO treatment group, expression of MCP-1 decreased
significantly (P<0.01) as compared with that in 7d
exposure group, but still higher than that in control group
(P<0.05). There was scarcely aggregation of
monocytes/macrophages in brain of control rats. After 1d
to
7d
exposure
of
CO,
the
number
of
monocytes/macrophages-positive
cell
increased
progressively and reached its peak value at 7d exposure
group. Just as the expression of MCP-1, the number of
monocytes/macrophages-positive
cell
decreased
significantly (P<0.01) in HBO treatment group as
compared with that in 7d exposure group, but still more
than that in control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: the
expression
of
MCP-1
and
aggregation
of
monocytes/macrophages may play a role in the
happening of DNS after CO poisoning. HBO may alleviate
the damage of brain through decreasing the expression of
MCP-1
and
preventing
the
aggregation
of
monocytes/macrophages.

Department of hyperbaric oxygen treatment center,
School of Aerospace Medicine, Fourth Military Medical
University, Xi’ an, China
Objective: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric
oxygen(HBO) on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR)
injury in rats. Methods: Rat model of focal cerebral
ischemia induced by intraluminal filament occlusion of
middle cerebral artery (MCA) was used. Histopathological
changes of infarct size, neuronal damage ， neutrophil
infiltration and NOS positive neurons in the ischemic brain
area after MCA occlusion for 1 hour and reperfusion for
4,11,23 and 71 hours were examined. During the
reperfusion period, normal pressure pure oxygen
(99.5%O2) or 0.25 MPa (ATA) HBO treatment for 1, 2, 3
and 5 times were applied to respective groups and their
results compared. Results: The infarct size, neuronal
damage and neutrophil infiltration in normal pressure pure
O2 group were similar to those of ischemia-reperfusion (IR)
group at 71 hours. Whereas the infarct size and neuronal
damage in HBO group after 5 times of HBO treatment at
71 h were reduced for 8.43% (level before optic chiasma),
11.20%(level of optic chiasma) and 8.66%(level behind
optic chiasma), and the numbers of neuronal damage in 5
high power (×400) fields (Nr/5F) were 11.36 (preoptic
area), 8.94 (medial striatum), and 14.25(cortex) less as
compared with IR group respectively. Besides, the
neutrophil numbers (number/5 fields, 100×) in preoptic,
striatum and cortex at the level of optic chiasma were 3.84,
4.61, 2.56 at 5 h, 6.64, 7.34, 5.72 at 12 h and 9.78, 10.48,
7.84 at 24 h after the IR respectively; and they were much
lower in HBO group at 12 h (5.01, 5.22, 4.03) and 24h
(7.13, 7.21, 6.14) as compared with IR group (P＜0.05,
respectively. The numbers of degeneration NOS positive
neurons were increased gradually after MCA occlusion in
brain area. After HBO therapy, the numbers of
degeneration NOS positive neurons were obviously
decreased in cortex, preoptic area and medial striatum
(P0.05). Conclusions: HBO (0.25MPa, 5 times) have
significant effects of reducing infarct size, lessening
neurological symptom evaluation score, inhibiting
neutrophil infiltration, inhibiting the degeneration of NOS
positive neurons and decreasing the neuronal damage in
“penumbra” area on acute focal IR injury in rats.

Objective: To study the efficacy and influence factors of
hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) combining therapy on
patients with vegetative state (VS) following cerebral
trauma. Methods: One hundred and twenty-four cases of
VS treated with HBO combined therapy from 2003 to
2007 were analyzed retrospectively，including the effects
of treatment juncture on therapy and treatment times. The
pressure used for HBO was 0.2 MPa. The patients
breathed pure oxygen for 80 min with an interval of 10 min
in the middle. Once a day, twenty times was a course of
treatment. Results: twenty-two(17.7％)patients were free
from the VS within 1 month. In 102 cases of persistent
vegetative state (PVS), the total effective rate was 90.20%.
Fifty-seven patient regained consciousness (55.9%). Two
groups in which the patients receive HBO oxygenation
after cerebral trauma for less 31 days recovered better the
other one in which the patients receive HBO oxygenation
after cerebral trauma for less 30 days. Conclusion: The
HBO combining therapy is an effective therapy for patients
with persistent vegetative state following cerebral trauma.
The efficacy and regained consciousness was related with
the beginning time of hyperbaric oxygenation.

Objectives: To establish an animal model of spinal cord
injury (SCI),and to explore the effect of early hyperbaric
oxygenation on bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: 36
healthy
3-month-old female
SD
rats were
randomly divided into three groups: Sham
group
(10
rats), SCI group (13 rats) and SCI+HBO group (13 rats).
Rats in sham group underwent laminectomy, while rats in
the other 2 groups underwent complete spinal cord
transection at the level of the tenth thoracic vertebra. Rats
in the SCI+HBO group were treated with hyperbaric
oxygenation 2th day after SCI ,1/d, 10 times as 1 course
of treatment, for 3 courses, with a 6 days，interval between
courses .All rats were sacrificed 7 weeks after operation,
BMD of lumbar spine (L4-6 ), every region of femur and
tible in vitro were all measured by dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DEXA) using QDR-4500A equipments.
Results: BMD in region 2 at the distal femur ,BMD in
region 6 at the proximal femur and BMD in region 1 at the
proximal tible in vitro were markedly decreased in SCI
group at 7 weeks post-operation compared with that in
sham-operated group (P ＜ 0.05~0.01) ,BMD of every
region at 7 weeks post-surgery in SCI+HBO group
was slightly higer than that in SCI group , but no significant
difference between SCI+HBO group and SCI group was
found . Conclusion: (1) The pattern of osteoporosis in
complete spinal cord transection rats was succeed in
experiment. (2) HBO could not obviously improve bone
loss in complete spinal cord transaction rats.

Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Fuzhou
General Hospital, Fuzhou, China
Objective: To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen
therapy (HBO) on the early phase of mandible lengthening
in the goat model. Methods: Six healthy goats were
randomly divided into two groups (n = 3 each). Animals
underwent corticotomy of the hibateral body of the
mandible after placement of distraction devices.
Distraction, at a rate of 1 mm/day and a rhythm of 2
turns/day, began after a 5-day latency period for ten days.
Only the second group underwent HBO for 1.5 hours daily
for fourteen days from the second day of the latency
phase. Twenty-eight days after completion of the
distraction protocol, the animals were killed and the
distracted mandibles were harvested. The appearance of
the samples, radiological changes, bone mineral density,
and mechanical strengths and histology were examined.
Moreover, Serum alkaline phosphatase was measured
before HBO and every four days thereafter from 3 days
pre-treatment till first day post-treatment. Results: 1. In
the experimental group, the surgery region swelling
abated quickly; in the control group, surgery region in one
animal had an infection. Every goat had bony callus, and
the experimental group resulted in harder and wider
healing bone. 2. X-ray: All specimens showed a
progressive calcification of the distracted area between
the mandibular segments, and the bone cerebral cortex
connected completely except the infected animal. The
distracted zone in the experimental group exhibited higher
radiodense opacity. 3. Bone density showed that the
experimental group resulted in a denser healing bone
(P<0.05). 4. Three-point bending test showed that the
maximal loading in the experimental group was higher
than in the control group (P<0.05) .5. In the control group,
three zones exhibited progress of intramembranous
ossification. 6. Statistical analysis of the percentage of
bone trabeculae area in the distraction gap revealed that
experimental group showed a significant increase
compared with the control group (P<0.05). 7. Serum
alkaline phosphatase: early after surgery, every animals
serumal alkaline phosphatase level increased, and in the
experimental group it increased more significantly than in
the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion: HBO can
enhance the anti-infection capacity of the surgery district
and accelerate the rate of bone regeneration and
ossification, and increase the activity of serum alkaline
phosphatase. The domestic internal distractor has a
stable biomechanical property and good biocompatibility.

Guizhou Provincial Peoples Hospital, Guizhou, China
Objective: To investigate the impact of hyperbaric oxygen
on hemorheology and neural function rehabilitation in
treating cerebral infarction. Methods: Clinical observation
with 48 cases of cerebral infarction treated by HBO
therapy. Compare the preselected indexes and contrast
the condition with those before therapy, then make a
statistical analysis. Results: Compared with the
hemorheological indices before HBO therapy, whole blood
viscosity in high, middle and low shear rate, plasma
viscosity, hematocrit (Hct), erythrocyte aggregation
index(EAI), erythrocyte electrophoretic time(EPT) and
platalet aggregation rate(1,3,M) were more obviously
decreased (p ＜ 0.05-0.01); erythrocyte deformity index
was significantly increased (p＜0.05); both the scores of
erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) and erythrocyte
rigidity index were not statistically significant (p＞0.05).
More over, the average of neurological functional deficit
scales was more obviously decreased (p＜0.01). The total
effective rate was 87.5﹪. Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygen
therapy is recommendable because of its operational
safety as well as the therapeutic effect in treatment.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can not only obviously reduce
the neurological deficit, but clearly improve the
hemorheological properties.

First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University, China
Objective: To analysis different degree and different
factors influencing on effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen
(HBO) on patients with idiopathic facial palsy and to
evaluate the clinical significance of hyperbaric oxygen on
them. Methods: First, the influencing factors were
investigated statistically through a retrospective analysis
of total effective on 196 patients with idiopathic facial palsy,
including sex, age, basic disease, HBO treatment,
house-brackmann facial grading and speed of signal
conduction of facial nerve. Secondly, according to the
different methods of treatment the patients were divided
into group A (routine treatment) and group B(HBO
treatment), compared effectiveness of HBO treatment in
different serious degree.
Results: HBO treatment,
house-brackmann facial grading and speed of signal
conduction of facial nerve were major influencing factors.
The total effective rate of group B was significantly higher
2
than that of group A (x =3.96, P<0.05).No significant
difference was found between A and B group when
house-brackmann facial grading was Ⅱgrade, the same
result when speed of signal conduction of facial nerve was
slight slower. The effective ratio of group B was higher
than that of the group A when house-brackmann facial
grading was Ⅲ~Ⅳ and Ⅴ~Ⅵ grade (P<0.01, P<0.05),
the same result when speed of signal conduction of facial
nerve was middling and serious slower (P<0.01, P<0.05).
The effective ratio of group B was higher than that of the
group A when the delayed treatment time was less than 3
days and more than 31 days (P<0.01). Conclusions: The
curative effect of HBO on different degree of patients with
idiopathic facial palsy is significant particularly in middling
and serious degree patients. Receive HBO treatment
early will help to improve herapeutic effect.

Hospital, Beijing, China
Objective: To discuss the characteristics of children
withCarbon monoxidepoisoning (COP), andhyperbaric
oxygen(HBO)therapy,
in
children.
Methods: Carboxyhemoglobin, (COHb) levels were not
parallel with severity of illness .Therapeutic pressure was
due to the age of patient. Mild COP patients need 1~10
times HBO process , moderate COP patients need 10~20
times, severe COP patients need 20~30 times , all patient
got recovery and follow up 2~6 months , no
sequelaes have been found yet. Results: Children COP
manifestations vary a lot, COHb levels can only be a
reference when judging the degree of COP. The prognosis
will be good if HBO can be used as soon as possible and
long enough. Retrospectively analyzed 156 children with
COP treated in Beijing Children’s Hospital HBO
department in recent 3 years. Conclusion: COP occurs in
all ages of children, and can cause variety manifestations.
Infant usually have untypical manifestations.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to
determine the reason for the carbon monoxide (CO)
poisoning-related deaths at out hospital and to describe
the demographic data and epidemiology. Methods: We
retrospectively selected this group of acute CO
intoxication patients that received emergency hyperbaric
oxygen therapy (HBOT) from April 2000 to August 2005 at
our hospital. Data regarding age, gender, duration of CO
poisoning exposure, cause of the episode, underlying
disease, number of HBOT courses, hospital course,
cormorbidity and cause of mortality were obtained from
the medical records. We also reviewed the admission data
records, including vital signs, Glasgow Coma Scale,
arterial blood gas, carboxyhemoglobin level, and
intubation or not. Results: One hundred thirty-seven
patients and 5 fatalities related to CO poisoning were
reviewed; the mortality rate was 3.65%. The 5 fatalities
were all male, in the prime of life (27~37 years old), and
without major underlying disease. Four (4/5) patients
committed suicide by inhaling CO from burning charcoal.
They all received emergent HBOT. Prolonged
unconsciousness was noted after series HBOT in 4 (4/5)
patients. Four (4/5) patients developed rhabdomyolysis
and acute renal failure. The causes of death were multiple
organ failure (3/5, 60%) and septic shock (2/5, 40%).
Conclusions: The causes of acute CO poisoning among
the fatalities were suicide by inhaling CO from burning
charcoal (4/5, 80%) and a fire accident (1/5, 20%) at our
hospital. They were in the prime of life without major
underlying disease. The brain is an oxygen dependent
organ, and the damage may be severe and irreversible
after CO intoxication and hypoxia. Rhabdomyolysis and
acute renal failure may also occur. Secondary infection
and septic shock may worsen the already poor condition.
The cause of death may be considered as multiple organ
failure, including the brain, lung, and kidney.

Objective: To understand the survival and physiological
derangement of rats in the extreme hypobaric hypoxia
environment.
Methods:
Both
anesthetized
and
un-anesthetized male Sprague–Dawley rats (350-400g)
were exposed to extreme hypobaric hypoxia and,
normobaric normoxia. Hypobaric hypoxia was achieved by
a decompression chamber. The pressure was decreased
to 210 mmHg, which is equivalent to the pressure of 0.27
atm or at 9000m height, in a controlled rate. Survival time
was measured after target pressure achieved and
maintained. The femoral arteries and veins of
anesthetized rats were cannulated for blood pressure,
MAP and HR monitoring, and the arterial partial pressure
of CO2 (Paco2), O2 (Pao2), SatO2, HCO3 and PH value
were measured via a blood gas analyzer. The brain
neurotransmitters
expression
was
analyzed
via
stereotaxically implanted microdialysis probe, and lactate,
glycerol, pyruvate and glutamate levels were measured.
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) expression and brain
edema were measured by Evans blue method and brain
dry/wet ratios respectively. We compared the extreme
hypobaric hypoxia group and normbaric nomoxia group
for understanding the difference in physiological
characteristics. Result: The average survival time was
29±5.4 min (n=10) for un-anesthetized rats; and 26±6.5
min (n=10) for anesthetized rats in our extreme hypobaric
hypoxia setting. The arterial partial pressure of CO2
(Paco2), O2 (Pao2), SatO2, HCO3 and PH value
significantly decreased, and the neurotransmitter
expressions in brain such as glycerol, glutamate and
pyruvate/lactate ratio were significantly increased in
extreme hypobaric hypoxia. We found no significant
difference in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) expression and
brain dry/wet ratios in our study. Conclusion: We report
the survival time and provide the evidence of changes in
physiological characteristics and brain neurotransmitters
of rats in extreme hypobaric hypoxia environment. The
development of a new animal model for rats under
extreme hypobaric hypoxia is advantageous for academic
researches for diseases related to hypobaric hypoxia,
such as acute mountain sickness.

A thermodynamic mechanism for explaining the
concurrence of joint ache and neurological deficit in
one limb
Cristian Melián
Asociación Chilena de la seguridad, Puerto Montt, Chile
Objective: To suggest a physiopathological mechanism
that explains the clinical observation of spinal
cord-articulation congruency. Materials and methods: a)
Revision of records b) Analysis of Data. Results:
Thermodynamic hypothesis of probability of bubbles
appearance in a tissue subjected to mechanical energy:
“For any heterogeneous open thermodynamic system,
with non-adiabatic walls constituted by several
non-compressible phases, with inert gases dissolved in
them and subjected to pressure, the probability of
formation of gas bubbles in the system when the pressure
diminishes is directly proportional to the total energy
(determined by factors such as thermal energy and mass
of gas) accumulated by the system during the period of
time in which it was subjected to pressure; and inversely
proportional to the speed of energy transfer from the
system into the environment in the form of heat or mass of
gas”. The specific place of bubble formation will be the
phase presenting a greater ∆E and its surroundings. The
skeletal muscle system, in the four limbs, receives a
similar mass of gas. The diver applies work to the skeletal
muscle system; for example, to the right arm: kinetic
energy is generated which turns into an increase of
internal energy and heat in the limb. The longer the time
the action is performed the greater the energy load and
mass of gas. When the diver ascends the pressure
diminishes, the speed of elimination of gas mass and heat
is surpassed in the right arm, secondary to the energy
accumulation during the task, with bubbles appearing in
tissues with a greater ∆E and in its surroundings; for
example, in the right shoulder. In the spinal cord,
specifically in the synapse of the 1st and 2nd
motor-neurons in the right arm, a greater amount of heat
and gas mass accumulates, the elimination speed rate is
surpassed and bubbles appear. The specific phase for the
spinal cord will then be the inter-synapse space and its
surroundings. The bubbles would cause a mechanical
blockade of the nervous stimulus that would be
transformed into a sensitive or motor deficiency. So, the
degree of neurological deficiency would be given by the
number of synapses involved. Neurological recovery
would be given by: number of synapses involved, quantity,
size and time the bubbles interact in the synapses,
passing from a reversible mechanical-physiological
dysfunction to an irreversible anatomical alteration.

Decompression sickness (DCS)-Is there a relationship
between the anatomical location of joint pain and
location of injuries in spinal cord?
Cristian Melián
Asociación Chilena de la seguridad, Puerto Montt, Chile
Summary: A retrospective, cross-sectional and
descriptive investigation was realized in 35 patients with
DCS Type I (joint pain) and Type II (neurological deficit) in
the same episode of DCS. The patients were treated in
“Unidad de Baromedicina ACHS Puerto Montt (Chile)”, in
the period between March 2006 and March 2008. A
registry of the anatomical location of joint pain and
neurological deficit was realized, dividing the body in 4
quadrants. There were defined four types of relation of
congruence. 1) Congruence of quadrant 2) Congruence of
side 3) not demonstrable Congruence 4) there is not
congruence of quadrant. Objective: To describe the
existence of a relation between the anatomical location of
the joint pain and the location of the lesion in spinal cord
(spinal cord - articulation congruency). Materials and
Methods: It made a review of records and analysis of data
obtained from each patient. Results: A congruence of
side (spinal cord - articulation congruency) was observed
in the 100% of the cases, in which it possible
demonstrated positively or negatively congruence. In 80
% of these cases the congruity Medular - articulate is in
the same quadrant. In 0% of the cases “there is not
quadrant congruence”. Conclusions: A relation between
the anatomical location of the joint pain and the location of
the lesion in spinal cord was observed.

Background: To investigate whether the hyperbaric
oxygen(HBO) can promote the growth-arrest osteoblast
(OB) cells to proliferate and differentiate, and to determine
the probable mechanism .Methods: OB cells were
exposed to O2 with different levels of saturation and
pressure for 3 days and 7 days. The OB cells were divided
into four groups: 1.TheControl Group (Group C ):cells
were cultured under ambient oxygen (21% O2) and
normal pressure(1ata). 2.ThePressure Group(Group
P) :cells were treated with high pressure(2.5ata) only twice
daily. 3.High Oxygen Group(Group O): Cells were treated
with high concentration oxygen(50%) only twice daily.
4.Pressure and High Oxygen group(Group P+O): Cells
were treated with high pressure(2.5ata) and high
concentration oxygen(50%) twice daily. XTT was used to
detect the cells proliferation and cell cycle progression
was determined by Flow analysis. Expression of growth
factors was assayed by RT-PCR. In addition, we
determined HBO activated signaling pathway in OB cells
by Western Blot analysis. Results: HBO therapy did
significantly promote OB cell proliferation and stimulated
cell cycle progression after the cells had been treated for
three days.Afterward, the effect attenuated day by
day. HBO also stimulated the OB cells to produce the
FGF-2 growth factors. Multiple signaling pathways,
s6k
including FGF-2/MEK/ERK 1/2/Akt/p70
/NF-κB and
PKC/JNK, are involved in the proliferation of OB cells by
HBO stimulation .Conclusions: The pressure and high
saturation of pressure have positive effects on stimulating
grow-arrested OB cells to proliferate and differentiate
s6k
through activation of FGF-2/MEK/ERK 1/2/Akt/p70
/NF-κB and PKC/JNK signaling pathway.However,we
were unable to determine between air pressure and
oxygen concentration which is the more important factor.It
is believed that HBO can be useful for fracture healing in
clinical application in an optimal situation.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic refractory
osteomyelitis of the sternum: a case report
Raymond
C Shields, Francis
C Nichols, William
G Buchta, Paul L Claus
Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, MN, USA
Objective: To review a case of chronic refractory
osteomyelitis of the sternum. Methods: A 32-year-old
female with a history of lye ingestion at 14 months of age
underwent multiple esophageal surgical procedures
including subcutaneous colonic interposition with
conversion to substernal colonic interposition requiring
median sternotomy, revision of pharyngocolostomy, and
eventual revision of cologastric anastomosis for
obstruction. The last surgical procedure was complicated
by a nonhealing draining sinus tract at the sternum.
Clinical and computed tomography findings were
consistent with chronic sternal osteomyelitis without
anastomotic leakage. Narcotic analgesics were frequently
required for pain management. Hyperbaric oxygen
therapy (HBOT) was initiated. Twenty four of 40
recommended sessions were completed which included a
profile of 100% oxygen administered via an oxygen hood
(Sea-Long, Series 500 Hood / Neckdam System,
Louisville, KY, USA) at 105 kPa (2 atmospheres absolute,
33 fsw) for 90 minutes with a 5 minute median air break.
All sessions were conducted in a multiplace chamber
(Fink Engineering TL24-165 AH11, Queensland,
Australia). Ertapenem antibiotic therapy was continued
throughout HBOT and discontinued at completion. No
surgical debridement was required. Results: Dramatic
pain relief was seen early along with cessation of sternal
drainage. Upon completion of 24 sessions, the sternal
wound had healed completely. The C-reactive protein
improved from 16.1 mg/L before HBOT to less than 3
mg/L at completion. Conclusion: HBOT is beneficial for
chronic osteomyelitis by reversing tissue hypoxia,
enhancement in leukocyte bacterial phagocytosis, and
improving tissue perfusion. These mechanisms appear to
have been important in the healing of chronic sternal
osteomyelitis in this patient. Reports of HBOT for sternal
osteomyelitis remain limited in the English literature.
Further investigation with well-designed clinical trials of
HBOT for this indication is necessary to substantiate this
treatment

Hyperbaric oxygen and concurrent chemotherapy:
what are the concerns?
John Feldmeier
University of Toledo Medical Center, Radiation Oncology
Department, Toledo Radiation Oncology, USA
Objective: To review the published literature and putative
effects of cancer -chemotherapy on patients receiving
hyperbaric oxygen. Methods: Electronic computer data
base literature searches as well as manual searches of
known references in hyperbaric medicine were employed
in order to define the potential interactions of hyperbaric
oxygen and chemotherapy in cancer patients undergoing
active treatment. In the past decade several new drugs
with new mechanisms of action have become available.
These drugs may target growth factors such as VEGF
(vascular endothelial growth factor) or EGF (epithelial
growth factor) while traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy is
designed to directly disrupt cancer cell proliferation by
interfering with mitosis. Results: The interaction between
hyperbaric oxygen and cancer chemotherapy is complex
and not well-studied. Older recommendations that
absolute contraindications exist for most traditional drugs
are not justified by available published literature. For
newer drugs targeted against growth factors, the
mechanism of action suggests that they will inhibit
hyperbaric oxygen’s salutatory effect on wound healing.
More study is needed before definite recommendations for
these new drugs can be made. The review of these issues
suggests that prior concerns regarding traditional cytotoxic
chemotherapy are not justified by the published
experience. Special considerations do relate to Bleomycin
where reports document occasional but potential life
threatening pulmonary fibrosis in patients exposed to
oxygen-enhanced breathing gasses even some time after
Bleomycin administration. Some drugs may be potentiated
in their cytotoxic effects on cancer cell growth though this
application has not been widely investigated or adapted to
clinical advantage. For some of the newer drugs such as
Bevacizumab and Cetuximab, there is not yet an
adequate published experience to make definite
recommendation; however, based on their mechanisms of
action, these and other drugs with similar mechanism are
likely to interfere with the hyperbaric oxygen delivered to
enhance wound healing or treat delayed radiation injuries.
Conclusions: The interaction between hyperbaric oxygen
and cancer chemotherapy is complex and not well-studied.
Older recommendations that absolute contraindications
exist for most traditional drugs are not justified by
available published literature. For newer drugs targeted
against growth factors, the mechanism of action suggests
that they will inhibit hyperbaric oxygen’s salutatory effect
on wound healing.

4. The Second People’s Hospital of Nanhai District,
Foshan City, Guangdong Province, Guangzhou, China
Objective: Three dynamic states of rheo-encephalogram
(before HBOT, during HBOT and after HBOT) of patients
who received the HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) were
analyzed, so as to observe and analyze the effect of the
whole procedure of HBOT on function of cerebral vessels,
to know about the diversity and rule of function of cerebral
vessels and change of cerebral blood flow, and to provide
theory of HBOT on cerebral diseases. Method:
Rheo-encephalogram was done in the following states: in
normal atmospheric pressure, in 0.2 MPa, after
40-minute’s HBOT, in normal atmospheric pressure after
the whole procedure of HBOT. All data is analyzed by
SPSS 11.5. Result: Differences are significant in the
following items: resistent index, rise time, whole recovery
time, elasticity index, increased angle, top included
angle. Items of rheo-encephalogram of internal carotid
artery and vertebrobasilar artery are dissimilar between
“patients after inhale oxygen, patients go out the
hyperbaric chamber” and “before pressure is elevated,
after pressure is stable”, while differences are not
significant between “before pressure is elevated” and
“after pressure is stable”, so do “patients after inhale
oxygen” and “patients go out the hyperbaric chamber”.
Conclusion: HBOT plays a positive role in vascular
resistance and angiotasis when HBOT was received,
while HBOT exerts no influence on volume of blood flow of
cerebral vessels. It is indicated that change of vascular
resistance and angiotasis is mainly affected by stimulation
of high pressure oxygen on vascular smooth muscle
rather than elevated oxygen pressure. Advanced research
is required on cause of cerebral vessels’ contraction
without reduction of volume of blood flow and duration of
effects of elevated oxygen pressure on function of
cerebral vessels.

state,
(PVS)
patients
with
F18
fluorodeoxyglucose ( F- FDG) position emission
tomography (PET) imaging. Methods: Ten patients with
18
PVS received F- FDG PET imaging examination before
and after hyperbaric oxygen combined therapy. Results:
All of the 10 cases were with abnormal cerebral glucose
metabolism. Some abnormal cerebral glucose metabolism
areas were concordant with the changes on brain CT or
MRI,, but some were not. As PVS recovered,
improvement of cerebral glucose metabolism or complete
18
return to normal were also observed., Conclusions: FFDG PET imaging is a safe and reliable modality, which
not only can directly reflect the level of cerebral cerebral
glucose metabolism and serve as a supplementary work
up to brain CT and MRI, but also can be used to evaluate
the therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined
therapy in PVS and to predict the prognosis.

Combined treatment of hyperbaric oxygen therapy,
acupuncture and rehabilitation in four cases of
neurological decompression sickness
Hui-Chieh Lee
Zuoying Armed Forces General Hospital, Taiwan, China
Objective: The neurological decompression sickness
(DCS) may cause severe symptoms and sequelae such
as paraplegia and difficulty in, micturition and defecation.
Traditional treatments includes United, States Navy (USN)
treatment tables, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy, &
rehabilitation. In order to improve the therapeutic effects,
we, tried to use a combined treatment of HBO2 、
acupuncture &, rehabilitation in the neurological DCS .
Methods: Four cases of neurological DCS were collected,
via our emergent room and diagnosed by means of diving
history,,
clinical
manifestations,
and
adjunctive
examinations
such
as,
hemoglobin
level(Hgb), hematocri(Hct), computerized tomography,
(CT), and magnetic resonance image (MRI). All cases
received the, combined treatment :the USN treatment
table 6A and subsequent, HBO2 therapy (50 ft/ 120 min);
acupuncture of head, neck, hand, abdomen, back, buttock,
leg and blood letting of Wei-Chung, acupuncture point and
physical therapy. Results: Four male fishermen had a
repetitive dives to the depth, (25-52 m) for 40-100 min with
SCUBA or surface supply compressed air., All dives
exceeded no decompression limit without adequate,
decompression stop . The clinical symptoms included
changed, mentality, ptosis of eyelid, numbness and
weakness of upper limbs or, lower limbs, difficulty in
urination and defecation. Two cases had increased Hgb
and Hct. One CT scan showed the brain edema and two
had, positive MRI findings of brain and cervical spine.
After the combined, treatment, three cases (75%) had
complete recovery of motor function, and walked smoothly
leaving the hospital. One serious case could walk, for a
short distance with the walking stick. Hypoesthesia over
lower, trunk improved markedly. Two cases had urination
by themselves and, smooth defecation. The other two had
sensation of urination and, increased power of anal
sphincter but still needed urinary catheter, and laxative.
The hospital stay was all within 30 days for four cases.
Conclusion: From these clinical results, we suggest that
this, combined treatment of acupuncture, HBO2 and
rehabilitation may be, another useful choice in the
management of neurological DCS.

Objective: To review the outcome of severely poisoned
patients who receiving mechanical ventilation and HBO
therapy. Methods: We reviewed the case records of 16
patients required mechanical ventilation for severe carbon
monoxide poisoning treated with HBO at Chi-Mei Medical
center between May 2001and December 2005. We
obtained numbers of days admitted in ICU and wards,
underlying diseases, laboratory data. We analyzed the
mortality and the morbidity in these treated patients. Only
patients without any other comorbidity, like trauma or burn
injury, can be included in our study. Results: Fourteen
(87.5%) of 16 patients committed suicide by burning
charcoal, 1(6.25%) was poisoned by car exhaust and
1(6.25%) was poisoned by faulty water heating
installations. All patients received endotracheal tube
insertion before HBO therapy and HBO therapy
subsequently. Although 15 patients received HBO therapy
th
within 2 days after admission, one was treated on the 16
day after admission due to his unstable condition. Mean
ICU stay was 7 days and total hospital stay was 16.7 days.
There was 1 mortality case, and the other three were also
defined as poor outcome due to their vegetative status.
Twelve (75%) patients who underwent HBO therapy were
discharged without severe sequelae. Conclusion:
According to our experience, mechanically ventilated
CO-poisoned patients who receive hyperbaric oxygen had
a fair prognosis. Although the risks for the mechanically
ventilated patients are relatively high, HBO therapy
seemed to reduce the risk of serious neurological deficit in
severe CO poisoned patients.

Experience in the treatment of decompression
sickness from the mountain lake diving in Taiwan
Shyanher WANG
Department of Occupational and General Medicine,
Tungs’ Taichung MetroHabor Hospital, TaiZhong, Taiwan,
China
Decompression sickness (DCS) occurred in the mountain
lake is extremely rare in Taiwan., However, there were 3
victims during a 6-day rescue dive after the Mindulle
typhoon attacks., It damaged the water gate in the Carp
Reservoir where located 300 meters above sea level.
Eleven male participated the dive., Their average age,
body weight and diving experience were 25 year-old, 72
kg and 3 years, respectively., The rescue started 24 hours
after ascending., The surface-supply dive was adopted
due to the limited time and space., The bottom time was
30 minutes and the depth 60 meters under the mountain
lake., Two dived each time. The patients were treated with
the modified and extended recompression tables
according to the individual condition. One victim with bend
over multiple joints was treated with a modified table 5A.,
He got complete remission after the 5-hour treatment.,
The other two victims with bend and numbness over
multiple limbs were treated with a modified table 6A for 8
hours., Because both had some residual symptoms, a
table 5 was added on the next day., Both got complete
remission thereafter., All three victims received no other
medicines except of isotonic saline., None of them has
late complication to date. The relative high incidence of
DCS in this mountain lake dive might be from the hostile
environment. The modified table 5A and table 6A, added
with a followed table as necessary, might be tailored to
optimize the treatment of the DCS occurred in the
mountain lake.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of bone marrow edema
(BME) and avascular osteonecrosis (AVN) of knee
joint in comparison to talus. first long term results (5
years) in therapeutic outcome
Johannes von Reumont, Anke Fabian
Hyperbaric Centre, Heidelberg, Germany
Objective: Positive effects in the BME and AVN treatment
of the knee joint were first-time observed during a pilot
study in our centre, in 1998 and 99. These results entailed,
to a prospective clinical study to evaluate the therapeutic
benefit of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in a large,
patient population. Moreover a, first five years follow-up
study, should give a prediction for the stability of the
results after therapy. Method: Within the past 8 years 266
patients with MRI confirmed diagnosis of BME or AVN
were evaluated. They were classified according to the
Association for Research of Circulation Osseous (ARCO),
knee joint (n = 207) and ankle joint, (n = 59). Clinical
examination, (range of movement , pain score) was done
before, during and after therapy and within the follow-up
period. MRI control after, HBOT was classified for results.
The number, of HBOT sessions (250/60) varied,
according to, the clinical, success (minimum 15 or more).
Classification of Result: 3+ no complaints/ 2+ clear
approvement 1+ less 0 no progress. In the follow-up study
group (FSG) n = 104, patients with interaction of
interfering factors (e.g. operation, arthrosis) were
excluded to evaluate, the real effect of HBOT stability (n =
64). Results: Mean age knee group (KG) was 57 years in
comparison to the talus group (TG) 40 years. Number of
sessions 27(KG) and 25 (TG) Clinical outcome ARCO
stage 2, KG: 77,2% rated 3+, 19% rated 2+ in comparison
with outcome stage 2 TG: 64,3%, 3+, 28,6 2+. Clinical
outcome ARCO stage 3 knee group 60% 3+ versus 42,2%
TG. The MRI outcome varies significantly in this stage: 3+
rated in 38,4% versus 9,1% TG. 94 % in the FSG
answered our questionnaire. 81% remained in an
unchanged therapeutic outcome, improvement in 6% and
symptomatic aggravation also in 6%. Most of the changes
were, seen within the first year. Conclusion: HBOT
administered as a conservative causal therapy leads to
very good results in earlier ARCO stages particularly, in
the knee joint. There is a significant difference in MRI
rating in stage 3. The therapeutic follow-up outcome
already shows very stable results within the first year.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen
therapy (HBO) on the early phase of mandible lengthening
in the goat model. Methods: Six healthy goats were
randomly divided into two groups (n = 3 each). Animals
underwent corticotomy of the hibateral body of the
mandible after placement of distraction devices.
Distraction, at a rate of 1 mm/day and a rhythm of 2
turns/day, began after a 5-day latency period for ten days.
Only the second group underwent HBO for 1.5 hours daily
for fourteen days from the second day of the latency
phase. Twenty-eight days after completion of the
distraction protocol, the animals were killed and the
distracted mandibles were harvested. The appearance of
the samples, radiological changes, bone mineral density,
and mechanical strengths and histology were examined.
Moreover, Serum alkaline phosphatase was measured
before HBO and every four days thereafter from 3 days
pre-treatment till first day post-treatment. Results: 1. In
the experimental group, the surgery region swelling
abated quickly; in the control group, surgery region in one
animal had an infection. Every goat had bony callus, and
the experimental group resulted in harder and wider
healing bone. 2. X-ray: All specimens showed a
progressive calcification of the distracted area between
the mandibular segments, and the bone cerebral cortex
connected completely except the infected animal. The
distracted zone in the experimental group exhibited higher
radiodense opacity. 3. Bone density showed that the
experimental group resulted in a denser healing bone
(P<0.05). 4. Three-point bending test showed that the
maximal loading in the experimental group was higher
than in the control group (P<0.05) .5. In the control group,
three zones exhibited progress of intramembranous
ossification. 6. Statistical analysis of the percentage of
bone trabeculae area in the distraction gap revealed that
experimental group showed a significant increase
compared with the control group (P<0.05). 7. Serum
alkaline phosphatase: early after surgery, every animal's
serumal alkaline phosphatase level increased, and in the
experimental group it increased more significantly than in
the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion: HBO can
enhance the anti-infection capacity of the surgery district
and accelerate the rate of bone regeneration and
ossification, and increase the activity of serum alkaline
phosphatase. The domestic internal distractor has a
stable biomechanical property and good biocompatibility.

Breath hold apnea tables for lower embolism (BATLE)
experience after more than six years 2000 – 2008
John M Batle
MEDISUB Hyperbaric & Underwater Research Institute
Palma de Mallorca, SPAIN
In the Balearic Islands, there is a great number of people
interested in submarine fishing. Although fish are
becoming scarcer to find, and the bigger ones are at a
deeper depth which leads to the use of electric scooters
( submarine scooters) arriving to depths of up to 63 metres
in apnea in the space of approximately two minutes to the
said pressure with intervals on the surface of about two or
three minutes.The number of dives per hour is about
fifteen and each sesión is usually done over a period of
between three to eight hours. Materials and Methods:
Since l994 to present date, a study has been made of
about forty cases of disbaric diving accidents in
apneaatended by Medisub Hyperbaric Institute during the
period l995 -2005. In the year 2000, the first tables of
Breath Hold Apnea?Tables?for Lower Embolism ( BATLE )
were published at the EUBS Congress in Malta, and the
second generation of tables were published in ICHM 2002.
Now with more than six years of practise and experience
of submarine fishing with the said tables. Results: The
number of accidents diminished progressively and since
then, few accidents have been presented in divers
practising submarine fishing.
Conclusion and Discussion: The extensión of the time
the divers spend on the surface after each dive, thanks to
the conclusión of Breath Hold Apnea Table for Lower
Embolism has made accidents due to the formation of
bubbles caused by the excess of nitrogen accumulated in
the time of diving almost extinct.

CO-exposed 12h group, CO-exposed 24h group,
CO-exposed 3d group and CO-exposed 7d group), eight
mice each group. The control groups were exposed to air
and the poisoning groups were exposed to CO. General
TUNEL, immunohistochemistry stain and flow cytometry
were used to observe the neurological damage and the
change of caspase3, bcl-2, Bax protein expression.
Results: TUNEL staining positive cells significantly
increased on 3d in hippocampus after acute CO
poisoning(P<0.05), and got much higher value on
7d(P<0.01); caspase3 protein expression increased at 1h
after poisoning, reached the highest at 24h and recovered
on 7d; bcl-2 protein expression increased at 1h in
hippocampus after acute CO poisoning, peaked at 24h
and recovered on 7d; Bax protein expression increased at
1h in hippocampus after poisoning, peaked at 24h and
recovered on 7d. Conclusions: There existed delayed
neurological apoptosis and apoptosis-associated factors
expression in mice brain hippocampus after acute CO
poisoning. Celluar apoptosis might be one of the

determine infarction volume at the point of 3h, 24h, and 5d
after surgery. And we investigated NF-KB DNA binding
activity of brain tissue 3h, 24h, 5d after surgery using
electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Results:
(1)Garcia scores of HBO group(3.64±0.18) at the point of
24h after MCAO were significantly higher than control
group (3.21±0.12) (P<0.05). There was no significant
difference in Garcia scores between HBO group and
control group 3h and 5d after MCAO. (2) At 3h after
cerebral ischemia there was no infarction region. There
was no significant difference in infarction volume between
HBO group and control group at 24h after cerebal
ischemia. From 24h to 5d after MCAO HBO group
infarction volume didn’t change, but that of control group
decreased. (3)NF-KB DNA binding activity in HBO group
(1.66±1.15) at 5d after MCAO was significant lower than
control group (7.28±3.10) (P<0.05). But at 3h, 24h after
MCAO there was no significant difference in NF-KB
activity between two groups. And there was no significant
difference in NF-KB DNA binding activity between
ischemic ipsilateral cortex and contralateral cortex.
Conclusions: (1) Hyperbaric oxygen could protect
ischemic brain tissue at 24h after MCAO surgery, but after
24h HBOT should be used carefully ,because it might
damage brain tissue. (2) Hyperbaric oxygen could
decrease NF-KB DNA binding activity of ischemic
ipsilateral cortex.

China,
Objective: To explore the efficacy of Chinese drugs with
the function of supplementing Qi and activating blood
circulation and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the pia mater
microcirculation in gerbil after cerebral ischemia /
reperfusion injury. Methods: Forty － four Mongolian
gerbils underwent following operations: A cranial window
was created in the left parietal bone and covered with
absorbent cotton soaked with artificial cerebro-soinal fluid.
The bilateral common carotid arteries were squeezed by
clamps for 30 minutes and then the clamps were
loosened so as to cause reperfusion．The gerbils were
equally divided into four group at random: drug group
(compound solution including Astragalus root, Chinese
angelica, and red sage root was infused intraperitoneally),
HBO group (exposed to 0.25MPa hyperbaric oxygen for
60 min) ,combined treatment group (both the two above
methods were used) ,and control group (normal saline
was
infused
intraperitoneally),
LMB-1
laser
microcirculatory mater and JI-200 laser microcirculatory
moving analytical meter were used to observe the
changes of pia mater microcirculation through the cranial
windows before cerebral ischemia. Results: After the
common carotid arteries were squeezed, the
microvessels contracted obviously, microthrombus were
seen, and blood flow rate of the arteriole decreased to
0.45mm/s, and the blood flow rate of the venule
decreased to 0.38mm/s.It was observed that in the drup
group, HBO group, and combined treatment group the
microthrombi in pai mater were loosened gradually, and
exudation around microvessel was gradually entered
absorption up to extinction. The arteriole blood flow rate
was 1.46-1.56mm/s, the venule blood flow rate was
1.27-1.44mm/s,significantly higher than those of the
traditional. Conclusion: Chinese drugs with the function
of supplementing Qi and activating blood circulation by
playing a role in improving microcirculation. Their effects
are closely related to acceleration of the blood rate,
regulation of the caliber of the arterioles and the venules,
and improvement of cerebral blood flow except oxygen
content increased.

No. 97 hospital, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China
Aim: To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygenation on
the function restoration in patients with spinal cord injury.
Methods: All patients with spinal cord injury were
confirmed with CT and/or MRI. 126 patients enrolled after
January 1986 were assigned to treatment group (T group,
with hyperbaric oxygenation therapy) and 56 patients
enrolled before December 1986 were assigned to Control
group (C group, without hyperbaric oxygenation therapy).
There was no significant difference between two groups
on the gender, age, course and injured position. Patients
in two groups were operated and administrated with
dehydrant, anti-inflammation, and drugs to against the
oxygen free radicals. The puncture and other physical
treatments were given to all patients, but only the patients
in T group were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation. The
hyperbaric oxygen chamber was pressurized to 0.2Mpa
and maintain at this level. The patients in T group were
given oxygen with mask according to the protocol
schedule of 30min×2+10min, and total time was 120min.
A patient would need 2-4 periods of treatment dependent
on the severity of injury and 10 times as one period of
treatment. The relationship between efficiency and the
beginning time of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy was
observed. Results: The rate of efficiency and
improvement was 61.9% and 31.0% respectively in T
group, which was significantly more than 23.2% and
37.5% in C group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Hyperbaric
oxygenation could promote the function restoration of
injured spinal cord, especially for the patents with partly
spinal cord injury. The patients with spinal cord injury
should be treated with hyperbaric oxygenation as earlier
as possible.

intervention group. Firstly, the rats in the second, third and
fourth groups were placed in low pressure oxygen
chamber, and the pressure in chamber was decreased at
equal speed from 0.1mpa to 0.062mpa from the sea level,
to simulate hypobaric environment on mountain at 3800m
above sea level. At 2h, 3d and 7d time points, the rats
were decapitated to obtain blood for later examination;
Secondly, the rats in the fifth group received hyperbaric
oxygen treatment (0.2mpa, once per day, oxygen
inhalation for 60 minutes, successively 5 days). At the
sixth day, the rats were placed in low pressure oxygen
chamber, and the chamber was decreased at equal speed
to 0.062mpa. At 2h time point, the rats were decapitated
to obtain blood for later examination; thirdly, the rats in the
sixth group received hypobaric hypoxia treatment
(0.062mpa, once per day, 2h once, for successively 5
days). At the sixth day, the rats were placed in low
pressure oxygen chamber, and the chamber was
decreased at equal speed to 0.062mpa. At 2h time point,
the rats were decapitated to obtain blood for later
examination; the blood samples obtained from above
different treatment methods were centrifugated to obtain
the supernatant, and CGRP and ET levels were
measured by radioimmunology method. Results:
Compared with control group, CGRP level shows
decreasing tendency with time extension, without
significant difference. The hyperbaric oxygen treatment
has no effect on CGRP level, but hypobaric hypoxia
pretreatment can make CGRP level decrease more
obviously, without significant difference. ET level shows
increasing tendency with time extension, but without
significant difference. However, EF level after hyperbaric
oxygen and hypobaric hypoxia pretreatment shows
significant increasing, P<0.05. Conclusion: The
hyperbaric oxygen and hypobaric hypoxia training mainly
influences ET level change in rats, and hyperbaric

Objectives: To observe if the therapeutic efficacy of
hyperbaric oxygen treatment for brain infraction was
influenced by the onset time after permanent middle
cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rabbits. Methods: 36
male rabbits were randomly divided into simple MCAO
group (n=12) , MCAO+ HBO group (100% O2, 2.5 ATA,
1h / d, from 1 d after MCAO, n=12) and MCAO＋DHBO
group (100% O2, 2.5 ATA, 1h / d, from 7 d after MCAO,
n=12). Behaviors and volumes of infarction were
observed, microdialysis was applied to monitor the
concentrations of glucose, lactate, pyruvate and
glutamate around the infracted zone at 1,3 ,10and 30 d
after permanent MCAO. Results: Behaviors’ score and
volumes of infarction were lower in MCAO+ HBO group
than the others (P<0.01). The lactate and pyruvate ratio
increased after MCAO in three groups, but they were
lower in the MCAO+ HBO group than in the others at Day
1 and Day 3(P<0.05). The glutamate concentration
increased after MCAO, peaking at 10 d, but at day 1 and
day 3 the glutamate concentration was lower in the

Objectives: the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO)
on survival of the arterialized deep-venous flaps and
blood supply was studied in a rat model. Methods: In this
study, the arterialized deep-venous flaps with pedicle
were established and anastomosed by proximal end of
external iliac artery with external iliac vein of flaps on the
abdomen of rats. An experimental model was created in
retrograde blood supplied to flaps from external iliac vein
inferior and epigastric vein. The 45 of SD rats were
randomly divided into three groups. The blood supply of
flaps in Group I (Control, n=15) was anastomosed by
end-to-end with arteries and venous respectively. 30 of 45
rats were anastomosed in arterialized deep-venous flaps
of rat model(ADVF). 15 rats with ADVF (GroupII, HBO)
were received by HBO treatment at 0.2MPa twice daily for
3 consecutive days after operation. Another 15 of
ADVF(Group III , non-HBO) were received by
conventional treatment after operation. Clinical survival
assessments of flaps included perfusion monitored by
observation of mass species with naked eye. The survival
rate of flaps was calculated after operation. Result: 1.The
edema of flaps in ADVF was reduced by HBO . The color
of flaps after HBO was red in the similar to Group I. The
Flaps in Group III were going to be black red from 2. day
after operation and dying on 3.day after operation. 2.The
survival of the flaps were respectively 60%, 66.7%, 0.
Conclusion: This study indicates that it iseffectiveness of
blood circulation in this arterialized deep-venous flaps can
be enhanced by retrograde arteriali- zation in this animal
model. HBO could improve blood supply of the flaps with
ADVP and reduce edema after operation and increase

in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion rats, to explore possible
mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on relieving
ischemic-reperfusion flammatory reaction and to provide
further experimental evidence for clinical HBO therapeutic
method. Materials and Methods: 64 SD rats were
randomly divided into 8 different groups: normal group (N),
sham-o group, cerebral ischemic-reperfusion (IR) IR 24
hour’s group, IR 48 hour’s group, IR 72 hour’s group, HBO
24 hour’s group, HBO 48 hour’s group, HBO 72 hour’s
group. Each group contained 8 rats. The cerebral
ischemic-reperfusion models were established according
to Pulsinelli’s methods of blocking four arteries. The
normal
group,
sham-o
group,
cerebral
ischemic-reperfusion (IR) group was placed in normal
pressure atmosphere without hyperbaric oxygen
treatment. The hyperbaric oxygen group started to accept
hyperbaric oxygen treatment after surgery immediately,
and once a day at the same time. HBO 24 hours group got
once HBO treatment. HBO 48 hours group got twice HBO
treatment. HBO 48 hours group got three times HBO
treatment. Draw blood from the aorta abdominalis after
operation at 24h, 48h, 72h respectively, then measure the
content of vWF, IL-23 and IL-27 by using enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: (1) The content
of vWF in IR 24 hours group increases than that in
sham-o group, the difference is significant, P in 24 hours
group of IR increases than that in sham-o group, the
difference is significant, P in 24 hours group, 72 hours
group of HBO group decrease than those in IR groups at
the same time group, the difference is significant, P in 24
hours group, 48 hours group, 72 hours group of HBO
group decrease than those in IR groups at the same time
group, but the difference is not significant, P>0.05.
Conclusions: (1) By using hyperbaric oxygen, the
content of vWF decreases at 24h, 48h and 72h, it shows
that the hyperbaric oxygen has positive effect on relieving
ischemic-reperfusion injury. The mechanism is to
decrease the content of vWF. (2) By using hyperbaric
oxygen, the content of IL-23 decreases at 24h and 72h, it
shows that hyperbaric oxygen has positive effect on
inhibiting inflammatory reaction and the mechanism of
hyperbaric oxygen is to alleviate the IL-23 release.(3) In
this experiment, by using hyperbaric oxygen, the content
of IL-27 has the degressive trend, but has no significant
meaning. It needs further study.

(HBO) to Human Nerve Stem Cell (hNSCs)
transplantation on hypoxic Ischemic Brain Damage (HIBD)
on neonatal rats. Methods: Neonatal HIBD rat model was
produced according to Rice method. Experimental rat
pups
were
randomly
divided
into
HIBD,
HIBD+transplantation
group,
HIBD+HBO
and
HIBD+transplantation+HBO groups (n=10 in each group
at each time point). On day 3 (d3) after HIBD, hNSCs
were transplanted into the left ventricles by microinjection
method. The first HBO treatment was administered within
15min after hNSCs transplantation and once daily for
consecutively ten days. TUNEL staining was used for
apoptotic study at d4, d5, d6, d13 after HIBD. Fluorescent
immunohistochemical (FIHC) staining and confocal
microscopy were used to observe the survival, migration,
and differentiation of the implanted cells. Results: (1) On
d4, d5, d6 and d13, TUNEL-positive cells could be
observed in the injured cortex and hippocampus in all
groups. The number of TUNEL-positive cells of
HIBD+transplantation and HIBD+HBO groups were
significantly less than that of HIBD group (P<0.05). While
the
number
of
TUNEL-positive
cells
of
HIBD+transplantation+HBO group was very significantly
less than that of HIBD group (P<0.01). (2) FIHC staining
showed that on d13, the implanted hNSCs survived and
extensively migrated from ventricles to periventricular
brain parenchyma, and meanwhile differentiated to
neurons and astrocytes. There was no significant
difference about the cell migration style and distribution
among
HIBD+transplantation,
HIBD+HBO
and
HIBD+transplantation+HBO groups. The number of total
survived cells of HIBD+transplantation+HBO was
significantly
(P<0.01)
more
than
that
of
HIBD+transplantation group or HIBD+HBO group.
Conclusions: (1) After transplantation, hNSCs can
survive, migrate and differentiate into neurons and
astrocytes. (2) To some extent, hNSCs transplantation
has neuroprotection to HIBD in neonatal rats. (3) HBO
therapy may enhance the above neuroprotective effect via
promoting graft cell survival rate, migration and
differentiation.

Hypersensivisity Vasculitis
Huan Ge, Chunjin Gao
Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Beijing Chaoyang
Hospital, Capital University of Medical Sciences, Beijing,
China
Aim: We report a case who was suffered from
hypersensivisity vasculitis. Using Hyperbaric Oxygen and
corticosteroid to treat hypersensivisity vaasculitis. To the
best of our knowledge, this is the first report that
hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) served as an adjunctive therapy
for hypersensitivity vasculitis. Method: A 58-year-old
male patient was injected into his thumb of right hand
because of tenosynovitis in local hospital. Half an hour
later, he started to have pain and swelling in his distal
upper extremity of right side. Some medicine were
prescribed and for 4 hours without benefit.New lesions
developed on the elbow, as well as on the hand. Palpable
Purpura was involving anterior aspect of the left upper
limb through to elbow. Darkening of the skin also were
noted. That night patient was transferred to Beijing
Chaoyang Hospital affiliated Capital University of Medical
Science.Tolazoline 20mg im and Dextran 40 500ml iv
were used to treat spasms of peripheral blood vessels
and improve microcirculation by decreasing blood
viscosity and impeding erythrocyte aggregation.
Dexamethasone meanwhile intravenously 20mg was
given. Two hours later the patient’s condition deteriorated
and his lesions developed. HBO therapy (0.2Mpa) was
used to alter condition of local hypoxia. After HBO therapy,
the patient’s situation was improved obviously. His
palpable purpura did not reappeared until 3 hour later. At
the first 24 hours after admission, the patient was treated
with HBO therapy twice. Subsequently, he received HBO
therapy 12 sections (once a day). From the second day,
he was orally given 40mg of prednisolone and 200 mg of
Aspirin per day for 10 days. Result: The patient’s
condition was getting better, and palpable purpura and
darkening of the skin were also reduced gradually. Fifteen
days after treatment with HBO and cortin, the patient’s
symptoms and ultrasound finding were normalized. He
have a decrease in the dose of prednisolone 30mg/d for
10 days, then 20mg/d until discharge. Conclusion: HBO
therapy combine with small doses of corticosteroid is an
effective and safe therapy for this patient, further studies
are needed to evaluate whether HBO can be used as
primary therapy for a group of patients suffering from
hypersensitivity vasculitis.

Systematic review of the effects of hyperbaric oxygen
adjunctive therapy on brain injury
Li Chu, Shilian Hu, Oyang Aiqun, Yaowu Ge, Wang Qiang
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University,
Hefei, China
Objective: To evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen
（HBO）combined therapy on the patients with brain injury.
Methods: HBO, as a commonly-used adjuvant
therapeutic method to treat the brain injury, is not
unanimously accepted by the doctors yet. In this paper,
we searched for the domestically published studies on the
HBO combined therapy on brain injury and only those
studies in accordance with the following inclusion criteria
were reviewed systemically. ⑴ Randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) and clinical controlled trials (CCTs) about the
HBO combined therapy on brain injury without
confounding factors. ⑵ Trials should contain control
groups (medicine/operation combined with HBO) and
treatment groups (treated with medicine/operation only).
No less than 100 cases were needed in each treatment
group and the case number in control group must meet
the statistical requirements. ⑶ The age of each case
should be between 9 to 75 years old. Statistical Treatment:
The statistics software RevMan4.2 provided by Central
Cochrane was applied to systematically review the effects
of HBO combined therapy on brain injury. Odds Ratio (OR)
was applied and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI) were
calculated. Chi square test was also carried out to assess
the heterogeneity among groups. Results: Up to March
2008, 623 papers about the effects of HBO combined
therapy on brain injury were browsed and only 9 trials
(involving 3916 cases) in accordance with the inclusion
criteria were reviewed systemically. Among these 9 trials,
total effective rates were compared in 8 trials, the scores
of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) before treatment and one
month after treatment were compared in 2 trials, and the
mortality rates of the cases within 6 months’ follow-up
study after treatment were compared in 2 trials. After the
statistical treatment with the statistics software
RevMan4.2, the following statistical outcome was
obtained. ⑴ The total effective rate: Clinical effects were
reported in 8 trials (involving 3688 cases), and the total
effective rate of HBO combined treatment groups was
markedly improved with statistical significance as
compared with that of control groups (95.12% vs. 74.85%;
OR 6.37; 95%CI 5.04,8.06; P<0.01). ⑵ The comparison
of the GCS scores: The GCS scores of cases had no
statistical significance among groups in 2 trials (involving
430 cases) before treatment and there was no
heterogeneity among groups after Chi square test
(P=0.22), but the combining GCS score of cases one
month after treatment in treatment groups was 1.67 more
than that in control groups one month after treatment and
the difference had statistical significance (95%CI 1.2,2.14;
P<0.01),. ⑶ The mortality rates of the cases 6 months
after treatment: The mortality rates of cases within six
months’ follow-up study after treatment were carried out in
2 trials with 420 cases involved and there was no
heterogeneity among groups after Chi square test
(P=0.13). It was found that the total mortality rate of cases
in 6 months after treatment was 10.76%(24/223) in
treatment groups, which was less than the total mortality
rate (18.78%; 37/197) of cases in control groups with
statistical significance (10.76% vs. 18.78%; OR 0.51;
95%CI 0.29,0.90; P＜0.05),. And NNT(Number Needed to
Treat) was 12.5，which suggests that one patient with
brain injury could be avoided from death in 6 months
among every 12.5 patients if adjunctively treated with
HBO. Conclusion: After the systemic review of the
studies of HBO combined therapy on brain injury, it could
be found that the total effective rate significantly improved
and the mortality rate obviously decreased after patients
with brain injury had been adjunctively treated with HBO.
So, HBO therapy is a desirable treatment measure for the
patients with brain injury, for it proved to be of definite
therapeutic effects and clinical significance.

The First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang
University, China
Object: To investigate how to prevent barotraumas of
middle ear during hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment to
the sudden deafness patients. Methods: There were
1019 patients received HBO treatment in our hospital
during Jan-04 to Dec-07 and 68 patients among them
encountered barotraumas of middle ear. The 68 patients
were divided into groups according to different reasons of
barotraumas of middle ear, first or non-first time treatment
and different educational background. And comparison
were in progress inter-groups. Results: 6.64% of all 1019
patients encountered barotraumas of middle ear. Among
them 87% (59 patients) were mild, 11% (7 patients) were
middling, 2% (1 patient) was severe. The reasons of
barotraumas
were
eustachian
tube
obstruct,
inappropriately pressure adjust and faulty operation.
There was significant difference in composition of these
three reasons. The incidence rate of barotraumas was
5.1% in first time treatment patients, and was 1.6% in
non-first time treatment patients. The difference was
significant (P<0.01). There was also significant difference
in different educational background patients (P<0.01).
Conclusion: Many factors can cause barotraumas of
middle ear during HBO treatment to the sudden deafness
patients. So the operator must pay attention to the
complication and take some things to reduce the
incidence rate of barotraumas of middle ear.

The curative effect of Hyperbaric Oxygenation
treatment child brain damage and the influence of
nursing
Jian Bao, Dao-dong Liu
The people’s hospital of Lu’an city, Anhui province, Lu’an,
China
Objective: We studied the effect of hyperbaric oxygen
(HBO) preconditioning on the molecular mechanisms of
neuroprotection in a rat focal cerebral ischemic model.
Methods: Seventy two male Sprague–Dawley rats were
pretreated with HBO (100% O2, 2 atmospheres absolute,
1 hour once every other day for five sessions) or with
room air. In experiment 1, HBO preconditioned rats and
matched room air controls were subjected to focal
cerebral ischemia or sham surgery. Post-injury motor
parameters and infarction volumes of HBO preconditioned
rats were compared with those of controls. In experiment
2, HBO preconditioned rats and matched room air
controls were killed at different time points. Brain levels of
hypoxia-inducible factor 1a(HIF-1a) and its downstream
target gene erythropoietin (EPO) analyzed by Western
blotting and RT-PCR as well as HIF-1α DNA-binding and
transcriptional activities were determined in the ipsilateral
hemisphere. Results: HBO induced a marked increase in
the protein expressions of HIF-1α and EPO and the
activity of HIF-1a, as well as the expression of EPO
mRNA. HBO preconditioning dramatically improved the
neurobehavioral outcome at all time points (3.0±2.1 vs
5.6±1.5 at 4 h, 5.0±1.8 vs 8.8±1.4 at 8 h, 6.4±1.8 vs
9.7±1.3 at 24 h, P<0.01 respectively) and reduced
infarction volumes (20.7±4.5% vs 12.5±3.6%, TTC
staining) after cerebral ischemia. Conclusion: This
observation indicates that the neuroprotection induced by
HBO-preconditioning may be mediated by an upregulation
of HIF-1a and its target gene EPO.
Purpose: Discussion the curative effect of Hyperbaric
Oxygenation treatment child brain damage and the
influence of nursing. Method: In random take out 82
examples as observation group (n=82) from hospitalized
child patient (October 2002 to October 2007), and take
the same period 78 examples as compare group. The
observation group was given conventional treatment add
HBO treatment, the compare group treat only given
conventional treatment. Observe the difference of curative
effect in two groups’ treatment the child brain damage.
Result: the cure and apparently effective rate of
observation group be higher than compare group.
Conclusion: The treatment of Hyperbaric Oxygenation
can raise the effect in child brain damage.

hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in a global
hypoxia model. Methods: Male mice received HBO-PC
before hypoxia exposure and swimming. Results:
HBO-PC significantly prolonged the survival time and the
tolerance time of swimming under normobaric hypoxia.
HBO-PC increased the protein content of HIF-1α and
erythropoietin (EPO) in the cerebral cortex and
hippocampus and prevented the changes of blood brain
barrier (BBB) permeability and brain edema caused by
hypoxia exposure. Conclusion: The results suggested
that HBO-PC induced hypoxic tolerance in mice via

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning confers
neuroprotection against subsequent ischemic insult by
inhibition to neuronal apoptosis. In this study, we
investigated whether nitric oxide (NO) was involved in
HBO-induced ischemic tolerance and the underlying
mechanisms in a rat model of spinal cord
ischemia-reperfusion. HBO preconditioning, which
significantly increased NO levels in spinal cord tissue, was
produced by consecutive four times of 1-h HBO exposure
(2.5ATA, 100%O2) at an interval of 12 h. At 24 h after the
last pretreatment, rats underwent spinal cord ischemia for
9 min. Function recovery was evaluated by 15-point scale,
and motor neuronal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL
staining. Behavioral function was remarkably preserved
and motor neuronal apoptosis was notably attenuated by
HBO preconditioning (P<0.01). Intraperitoneal injection of
L-nitroarginine-methy-ester (L-NAME, 10 mg/kg), a
nonselective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor at 20
min prior to each HBO preconditioning, abolished the
beneficial effects of HBO preconditioning. The activities of
caspase-3, -9, -8 and the expressions of mitochondrial
passway anti-apoptotic mediators in the ischemic spinal
lumbosacral tissue at 6, 12 and 24 h after reperfusion
were evaluated in HBO preconditioned rats with or without
L-NAME. NO protected neurons from apoptosis through
attenuation of cytochrome c release and caspases
cleavage along with upregulation of Bcl-2 and antioxidant
enzymes.
Intraperitoneal
administration
of thiol
antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, 200 mg/kg) at 15
min before each HBO preconditioning also blocked the
neuroprective effects of HBO by decreasing NO
production. The abovementioned data indicate that NO
produced by HBO may contribute to neuroprotection
during the preconditioning.

these sputum aspirators, the problem on aspirating
sputum in HBO chamber was solved. So the security of
patients was ensured. Thirdly, we proposed that the
patients after tracheotomy should be administered HBO
therapy earlier. However, the following factors must be
considered, such as the severity of primary diseases, the
severity of pulmonary infection, the type of HBO chamber,
the equipment in HBO chamber, the diathesis and
experience of medical personnel in HBO chamber. In
addition, informed consent and institution about medical
personnel in HBO chamber were very important.
Especially for the severe patients, when administered
HBO therapy, they must be accompanied by doctors or
nurses. Results：
：After the factors including equipment,
medical treatment, nursing, institution and so on had been
studied and summarized, we solved the problem that the
patients complicating with disordered brain function and

The foreground of Lidocaine treatment for DCS
Li Changchun
Navy submarine academy of PLA, Qingdao, China
With the further cognition to the DCS pathology, some
pharmacologic agents raise the people’s interest.
Lidocaine is one of the most promising pharmacologic
agents because of the obvious treatment effect.
Pathologic development of DCS: First, people
considered DCS was result from simple physical injury
of bubbles; however, following study show the pathology
is complicated. It is believed that the body’s host defenses
respond to bubbles as foreign bodies, leading to the
activation of enzymes, complement and clotting factors,
and the release of vasoactive substances .The activation
of the body’s defense system initiates a vicious cycle the
leads to multiple organ failure .To the series of
inflammation reaction, pharmacologic treatment is very
important. Pharmacology of lidocaine: Lidocaine is local
anesthesia agent,since 1963, it has been used as
antiarrhythmic agent for ventricular tachycardia and
fibrillation. It begin to work within 15-30 seconds after
intraveneous, and then rapidly distribute to heart, brain,
lung, liver etc. Lidocaine can work on heart directly, but
less effect on vegetable nerve. The present study
of lidocaine to treat DCS: It is a tendency to use the
lidocaine to treat serious DCS, these results from some
animal experiments in vivo. In 1984, Evans found
lidocaine can protect nerve system in animal experiment.
This raises people’s interests to lidocaine as adjuvant
treatment for DCS. Subsequence, many scientists also
proof this view and then study its mechanism in rat and
rabbit experiments, they found lower-dose lidocaine can
preserve conduction in isolated nerves and inhibits cation
leakage, and inhibit the adhesion of neutrophils to
vascular endothelium, but the mechanism is unknown.
However, regardless of the mechanism, lidocaine may
offer protection by preventing leukocytes from adhering to
damaged endothelium.
Presently, the Adjuvant
Treatments Committee of the Undersea and Hyperbaric
Medical Society considers the use of lidocaine to be
beneficial in cases of AGE presenting early for treatment.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been proven to
be of extreme importance in the Human Embryonic
Stem-cell transplantation and Xeno-transplantation. There
are different aspects of Regenerative Medicine in
Anti-Aging. In this case the overview of future Medical
treatments relies on New Scientific approaches like
Nano-Medicine, Embryonic Stem Cell Transplantation,
Chromosomal Gene Insertions and healthy life styles in
adjunction with HBOT. Approach: The world is now
experiencing climatic changes and extreme global
warming not to mention air pollution and shortage of food
production and escalating fuel prices. These in effect have
presently reduced oxygen concentration at sea level in
comparison to past decades. This is mainly due to the
high level of carbon particulates in the air and
contamination of drinking water and lesser arable land for
farming. Consequently oxygen production level is greatly
reduced. Conclusion: Future medicine inter-links closely
with HBOT in Regenerative Anti-Aging Medicine.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate
the mechanisms in increased sensitivity to convulsions
and the role of nitric oxide (NO) and its synthases after
repetitive HBO exposures. Methods: Mice were randomly
assigned into three groups: HBO group; hyperbaric air
(HBA) group and normobaric air (NBA) group. Mice in
HBO or HBA group were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen or
hyperbaric air respectively for 60 min twice daily for 3
consecutive days (2.5 atmosphere absolute [ATA]). 24
hours after the last exposure, mice were exposed to HBO
(100% O2, 6 ATA). The latency of convulsions was
recorded. In addition, the levels of NO, NADPH
diaphorase, mRNA and protein expressions of NOS
isoforms in hypothalamus and hippocampus were
determined. Results: Latency to seizures was
significantly shortened in mice after six HBO
pre-exposures. The level of NO in hypothalamus in HBO
group was increased. The number of NADPH-d positive
cells and the levels of protein and mRNA of eNOS and
nNOS in hypothalamus and hippocampus were increased.
Conclusion: After repeated HBO exposures, elevated
NO may enhance the sensitivity to convulsions and this
may lead to seizures during the subsequent oxygen
exposures. Prevention of seizures is needed when HBO is
used as preconditioning method.

Research on the disinfection of the object surfaces in
which is inside of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber and
the inner surfaces of its oxygen venting tube
Zhan Hechun
Daqing Petrochemical Company employee hospital,
China
Objective: To explore an individualized omni-bearing
circulating-target technology on the disinfection of the
object surfaces of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber and the
inner surfaces of it’s oxygen delivery the tube to eliminate
the possibility of the cross-infection it has been brought by
the connection ends of the oxygen of the delivery branch
tube. Methods: To use the innovative process of
independently delivering oxygen in the multifunctional
chamber and th-30 ozone disinfection device, which is
indirectly to integrate the process disinfection technology.
Under the atmospheric pressure in which is properly close
the disinfected chamber’s door, shut off the inlet control
valve for oxygen delivery in process flow, open the
functional isolation valve of the bypass in process flow,
shut off the control valve in the process flow of oxygen
delivery, and start the ozone disinfunction device and
oxygen delivery power device. Results: This integrated
disinfection technology have reached the requirement and
purpose of the target design for both the object surface in
the chamber and the inner surface of oxygen venting
process tube. The research shows that the integrated
process disinfection technology can make unconditioned
omni-bearing disinfection to the environment inside of the
chamber and to the closed loop of oxygen venting tube,
it’s safe and reliable, has the efficacy of the individualized
disinfection, and no secondary contamination source will
be produced in the chamber after disinfection.
Conclusions: In the process flow of the oxygen directly
delivered in the chamber, and the ozone disinfection
device can not be individually used, because the process
flow has no oxygen delivery power device to be equipped,
so it’s difficult to have the function of the target disinfection
to the inner surface of the oxygen delivery tube. In this
case, although the disposable sanitary appliances for
oxygen delivery are used, the occurrence of
cross-infection still can’t be prevented effectively. Using
this technology, a new de-bottle-necking means is
equipped to the oxygen chamber project; the
unconditioned and zero-risk control of cross-infection in
the chamber is realized during the whole process of the

Objective: To explore the rational selection of equipments
of breathing in oxygen on patients after Tracheotomy with
hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment. Methods: 300
patients randomly divided into 2 groups: head cover group
(n=150) and connected tube group (n=150) were given
treatment with head cover and connected tube
equipments, respectively. 209 patients who have
successfully finished two periods of treatment been
conducted the GCS evaluations. Results: The rates of
success of finishing treatment were 99.3% in head cover
group, and 59.3% in connected tube group, respectively.
There was a significant statistical difference in the two
groups. The GCS score in connected tube group was
significantly higher than that in head cover group.
Conclusions: For the patients after Tracheotomy with
HBO treatment, the curative effect of selecting connected
tube is better than that of using head cover. They should
choose to use connected tube to absorb oxygen first, and
they may choose using head cover only if they can not
finish the treatment.

infury. Glasgow grade 5. Revivaled after hyperbaric
oxygen treatment.
Clinic materials: 1. Case introduction: The cases
involved burn inpatients in our hospital from Mar 2006 to
Aug 2007. Among them, there are 36 male and 20 female
with the age range from 1-13 years old and average
3.6±2.8 years old. The percentage of burn area to total
area is between 10-40 and the average percentage is
15.1±6.9. They are all healthy before encountering wound
and have not aspiration injury. 2. Therapeutic methods:
The 56 patients are randomly divided into two groups: the
treatment group (A group n=28) and control group (B
group n=28). The patients of control group are treated
only by locally applying Fulikang ointment while those of
treatment group accepted the treatment of local Fulikang
ointment plus hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). 3. HBO
treatment: Patients of A group accept 100% oxygen
breathing by masks for 80min, once or twice a day. We
stimulated 10d as a therapeutic period and patients were
arranged therapy according to the healing condition of
wound surface. Normally, one or two therapeutic period
were needed. 4. Assessment Indicator: The information
involving the average healing time of wound surface,
average inpatient day, the size, thick, rigidity and color of
scar, the symptom of patients and the number of patients
who needed operation were collected as the assessment
indicator. 5. Statistical analysis: All the data were
analyzed by t test and P<0.05 was considered to be
statistically significant. Result: According to the clinic
observation, in comparison to B group, the scars of A
group were rosiness or white, soften, thin, smooth surface
and few pain and itch. And also our findings showed
accelerated healing of wound surface and reduced
average inpatient day of group A. Only 2 patients of group
A needed flap operation and have achieved the success
in the first operation, while 9 cases needed operation in B
group and among them, the operation of 2 patients were
failing. The second operation was successful under the
help of 10 times HBO therapy. Discussion: HBO has the
following therapeutic effect according to pervious study: 1)
Increasing the local blood oxygen pressure, relieving or
even rectifying tissue hypoxia, reducing edema and
improving blood flow; 2) HBO is conducive to abating flap
necrosis and enhancing flap survival; 3) In terms of scar
formation, the HBO-treated skins represent light-color,
soft texture and few pain and itch; 4) Curbing the growth
of some kinds of bacteria. To sum up, HBO is beneficial to
the healing of second-degree burn wound surface in the
respect of few usage of plasma and albumin, low
occurrence of shock and scar formation, reduced tissue
necrosism, edema, wound infection and blood poisoning,
average inpatient day and the total expense, accelerated
wound healing and operative success rate.

The right lower chest film pneumonia, head CT right
frontal lobe brain damage, hydrocephalus, low-density
pontine lesions. Through 10-days anti-infection treatment,
to dehydration, lung infection was under control, but the
nervous system symptoms had not improved. The MRI
inspection pontine basement of T1 and T2-signal, the
patient had 15-years drinking habit, he drunk about 1000
ML every day. Considering chronic alcoholism liver and
brain damage after myelin lead to the dissolution of the
CPM, the patient was immediately cured by high-pressure
oxygen treatment.0.2 ～ 0.23MPa O2 30’×2+10’. During
high-pressure oxygen treatment, first three days, twice a
day, then once a day, ten days treatment for one course.
After the first time of high-pressure oxygen treatment, the
patient was conscious and could eyes could open and
committed activities as soon as the patient went out of the
capsule. But 2 days later the patient went unconscious yet
till one week later he went back conscious again. After
15-times high-pressure oxygen treatment, the patient
could nodded to his family members. After 22-times
treatment, the patient could communicate with his family
members in simple speech removing of the trachea,
taking in flowing food; the right upper limb muscle strength
reached 1 level. Since then the treatment method was
changed into a single-capsule pure oxygen chamber.
After 4 treatment courses, four limbs muscle tension
increased and muscle strength reached 2 level and liver
function was normal. After 6 treatment courses, with the
help of others, the patient could walk by himself,
self-consumption, muscle strength reached 4 level, MRI
basically normal, after six months out of the hospital, the
patient fully recovered and could go back to work. From
this case we have made the conclusion that high-pressure
oxygen treatment can not only have the effective in the
treatment of brain injury and also have the effective for

2 Discussion
Whether pregnant woman after carbon monoxide
poisoning can receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy is still
remaining disputes. We believe it should be done .
The mechanism may be in:
HBO can increase the
oxygen concentration and blood oxygen tension.It can
correct hypoxia, and promote increasing of amniotic fluid,
improve foetus development and metabolism. HBO can
improve uterine blood supply and delay of blood flow so
that enhancing the mother-child functional system and
placental function. HBO promote gonadal hormones, the
formation of the placenta villi blood vessels and the
function of adrenaline. It conducive to development of the
placentai.The mother’s functions of vital organs can be
also improved. It should be noted:
hyperbaric oxygen
therapy must be done in time, combined therapy is
important. to observe the condition changes intimately.
Essential exam must be done before and after HBO
therapy and Good record must be done. B-monitoring
should be monitored.
premature babies to
high-pressure oxygen therapy can occur eyes of oxygen
poisoning. Therefore
hyperbaric oxygen therapy
treatment to late trimester of pregnancy should not be too
long and should be controlled within 1-2 courses.

Hyperbaric oxygen chamber，Liaoning Provincial General
Hospital of Fushun Mining Bureau
A 67-year-old female Patient suddenly occured difficulty in
breathing, obvious cyanosis, pale face, mydriasis,
state-dead in the second day after cholecystectomy.
Multi-parameter monitoring showed that: BP60/40mmHg,
P139 per minute, R30 per minute, So258%.
Electrocardiogram showed: sinus tachycardia, atrial
premature, imperfect right bundle branch block. X chest
film: the thinning of the texture in the inferior lobe of
right
lung . The patient was diagnosed as acute
pulmonary embolism, the vital signs were stable after
rescue. But from December 20 to December 23, the
patient was in a coma, on ventilator to maintain vital signs
stable. The first hyperbaric oxygen treatment was given in
the first 10 days after onset. The pressure was 1.8 ATA,
15 minutes for compression, oxygen inhalation
(monoplace champer) for 50 minutes, intercalary washing
for five minutes, decompression for 20 minutes. After one
session of HBO, the patient can open her eyes by calling.
After
more than 40 times HBO, the patient was
consciousness, not only can open eyes and speak, but
also can answer simple questions.
Discussion:
HBO can decrease blood viscosity, improve ischemia in
embolized regional, and reduce pulmonary avascular
necrosis of embolism organizations, and can reduce
pulmonary edema and improve the organs of the state of
hypoxia, control the occurrence of shock, can reduce
brain swelling and the brain tissue hypoxia damage,
improve function of the network structure . The HBO
therapy promote comatose patients to regain
consciousness . The HBO therapy plays an important role
in the rescue of patients with pulmonary embolism.
The authors triturate a simple breathing patterns in HBO
champer for adults to inhale oxygen and exhale own
carbon dioxide at the same time. See attached map.
Principle: Setting that the alveolar ventilation is 350 ml.
connecting a hard hollow plastic ball , diameter 8.3 cm
and volume 300 ml(including the space between mouth
and nose mask) ,between the original oxygen masks and
Y-piece. Patients wear oxygen masks for absorption Less
than 200 kpa, at the end of each exhalation there is 300
ml alveolar gas for next inhalation within the hollow ball.
The carbon dioxide concentration of alveolar gas is 2.5
percent in the 200 kpa, the carbon dioxide concentration
of inhalation alveolar gas = 300 × 2.5% ÷ 350 = 2%. Due
to oxygen consumption, oxygen in the hollow ball is less
than 200 kpa, while hollow ball volume is less than the
volume of alveolar ventilation, so when inhale , the
oxygen through the pipeline influx into the hollow ball
beacuse of difference of partial pressure of oxygen and in
order to maintain enough alveolar ventilation, on the end
of inhale the oxygen concentration reached 98 percent.
Unless the alveolar ventilation is on big changes, we can
maintain the relative stability of the concentration of
oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration. That is, when
the oxygen content increasing, the reinhalation of carbon
dioxide can increase blood flow to further improve hypoxia.
Comparising the new and old breathing patterns by
simulation experiments, there is no obviously difference.

The hyperbaric oxygen treatment in diffuse axonal
injury
Yuanbi Yang, Zhuan Wang
Hyperbaric oxygen chamber, Department of neurosurgery,
The hospital affiliated to Luzhou medical college
Objective: Observe the clinical effect of hyperbaric
oxygen treatment on diffuse axonal injury, approach the
suitable therapy opportunity and method. Method:
According to patient's condition and course of disease,
Forty-two patients with diffuse axonal injury were
randomly divided into two groups: Earlier hyperbaric
oxygen treatment group(A group n=21): the course of
disease was from three to seven days, the patients
separated themselves from life danger under drug control
or post-operation, then they accepted hyperbaric oxygen
3 patients with anesthetic accident coma accepted
hyperbaric oxygen treatment combined with drug
treatment from the year of 2005 to 2006, they were cured
and discharged.
1.clinical dates: The first patient was twenty-seven year
female, she accepted appendectomy under general
anesthesia in April, 2005, on the way to ward, she was
found respiratory arrest and immediately received
cardiorespiratory resuscitation, ten minutes later, she
recovered spontaneously breathing but had been deep
coma state, twelve hours later, she was transferred to our
hospital and immediately accepted hyperbaric oxygen
treatment, the therapy pressure was 0.25Mpa, oxygen
inhale 30min×2,one time per day, three days later, she
was gradually clear, one weeks later, she was completely
clear, two weeks later, she was cured and discharged, her
brain MRI image was normal. Both the second and third
patients were four year girls, they have been coma
because of congenital heart disease and started to
accepted hyperbaric oxygen treatment on the third day
and the seventh day post-operation respectively, the
therapy pressure was 0.25Mpa, oxygen inhale 30min×2,
one time per day, three weeks and eight weeks
respectively, one person was cured and discharged, the
other was clear but remained intellectual disorder and
growth retardation.
2. Discussion: Anesthetic accident primarily damages
the brain and can make the brain hypoxia and edema.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment can quickly raise the
pressure of blood oxygen, improve the brain hypoxia and
control the development of the infernal circle of brain
edema. The two patients our discussed accepted
hyperbaric oxygen treatment rather earlier and got a
better prognosis, two-three weeks later, they were cured
and discharged. The other patient accepted hyperbaric
oxygen treatment rather later and got a bad prognosis.
Therefore, when we encounter the anesthetic accident,
we should apply hyperbaric oxygen treatment on the
patients as early as possible, which can reduce the
course of disease and avoid the occurrence of the
residual. Concerning the regimen of hyperbaric oxygen
treatment, we all used atmosphere compression chamber
in our text, the pressure is 0.20-0.25Mpa, the time of
oxygen inhale is 30min×2, which can get satisfactory
effect and avoid side effects.

Effect of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy on 210 cases of
cerebral trauma
Chunfang Li, Yingyu Pan
People's Hospital of Haikou City 570208
Objective: To study the clinical effects of hyperbaric
oxygen treatment on patients of cerebral trauma. Method:
patients of cerebral trauma were divided into four groups,
including: 30 cases of acute brain injury, 5 cases of
persistent vegetative state, 55 cases of convalescence
stage, 120 cases of sequelae stage . Results: after
treatment 38 patients were cured, 110 cases were
markedly effective, 50 cases improved, 12 cases had no
effect, and the total efficiency was 94.3%. Conclusion:In
the patients of cerebral trauma, hyperbaric oxygen
therapy can promote the recovery of consciousness and
reduce the sequelae. In the patients of long-term coma,
persistent vegetative state and serious nerve damage,
Long course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy can
significantly improve the effect and prognosis. Additionly,
It is most difficult to deal with the patients of severe brain
injury and brain hematoma, as it frequently
accompanying vicious increased intracranial pressure, the
prognosis of patients with cerebral hypoxia was also poor,
the early hyperbaric oxygen therapy can increase oxygen
content in time to prevent the occurrence of malignant
hypoxia ischemia, providing the possibility of the recovery
of neurological function. Therefore the patients of cerebral
trauma should be given hyperbaric oxygen therapy as
early as possible, to reduce brain injury mortality and
morbidity, to improve the quality of life of patients. In the
210 cases of cerebral trauma, the patients who had
obvious effects after hyperbaric oxygen treatment mostly
were early onset of illness and not serous condition.

Experience of applying the multi-parameter ECG
monitor in hyperbaric oxygen chamber
peiyun Li, mingzh Ma
People's Hospital of Haikou City
With the development of medical science, high-tech
medical equipment has been used more and mor
extensively in hospitals. Having the advantage of
promptness, accuracy and visulization, ECG monitor play
an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of
cardiovascular patients and critically ill patients after
surgery. It is common to use multi-parameter ECG
monitor in some clinical departments, but the application
of this devices in hyperbaric oxygen chamber has been
rarely reported.
From November 2007 to April 2008, we used PM-7000
multi-parameter ECG Monitor to observe 159 cases of
critically ill patients in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber of
YCQ3230-37，we have achieved good results. All the
equipment are of type PM-7000 made by Shenzhen
Mairui company, the monitoring procedure has been
strictly followed and all the equipment components have
been checked to make sure they work well, we observed
and record the electrocardiogram changes. The
application of ECG monitor outside the chamber give
critically ill patients more oppptunity for hyperbaric oxygen
treatment, expanded the scope of HBOT and improve the
safety of patients in the chamber, moreover it is convinent
for the medical staff to observe the patients in the
chamber which is good for the treatment.

on sixty case of neurasthenia
ping yang, guiying he
Kelamayi Central Hospital, Xinjiang, China
Sixty patients have accepted hyperbaric oxygen treatment
in our department since the year of 1991, they got
distinguished effect. We report it as follow:
1 Clinical dates
1.1 General dates: 60 patients between 29 and 66 years
old were included, 20 of them are male, the remains are
female, the mean age of them is 47.5 year. The course of
disease is between 15 days and 21 years.
1.2 clinical manifestations: easy to excited, feeling
weary, sentiment, headache, wakefulness, tension,
agitated, the decrease of memory, as well ad impaired
concentration. EEG shows that the enhanced excitability
of cortex and double side symmetry lower amplitude fast
wave.
1.3 Hyperbaric oxygen treatment: The therapy pressure
was 2.0 ～ 2.4ATA, the patients accepted hyperbaric
oxygen treatment one time per day, oxygen
inhale30/×2+5/ per time, one course of treatment was ten
days.
1.4 The standard of therapeutic effect
1.4.1
Curing:
The
psychiatric
symptom
and
somato-symptom of patients completely disappeared, the
patients feel well and their occupation and viability can
recover to anterior sickness.
1.4.2 Improvement: The psychiatric symptom and
somato-symptom of patients generally disappeared, the
patients can be engaged in mental and physical work.
1.4.3
Invalid:
The
psychiatric
symptom
and
somato-symptom of patients remained unchanged.
1.5 Result: After 4-33 times of hyperbaric oxygen
treatment,14 patients’ neurasthenia were cured,44
patients’ condition were improved, 2 patients’ condition
weren’t improved, total effective rate was 96.7 percent.
2. Discussion
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment can make the brain tissue
obtain sufficient oxygen, improve the metabolic function of
neurocyte and lower the excitability of neurocyte, which
make the physiological activity of cerebral cortex
gradually recover. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment can make
the blood flow of vertebral artery increase, the pressure of
oxygen of brain network and brain stem relatively increase,
which can effectively improve the attenuation condition of
the process of inhibition in cerebral cortex, also can
strengthen the function of its regulating and controlling
subcortex autonomic nervous system, relieve the
symptom of autonomic nervous functional disorder.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment can lower the heart rate of
the patients who have the symptom of cardiopalmus and
pyknocardia, improve the sleep quality of the patients who
have the sleep disorder, improve the senior activity of
nervous system and raise psychological ability, physical
capacity, intellectual ability, as well as work ability. We
also discover the effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on
man is better than woman, the short course of disease is
better than the long course, the patients who accepted
hyperbaric oxygen treatment combined with psychological
treatment can obtain better effect. In order to help the
neurasthenia patients early rehabilitate and decrease the
complaints, in addition to drug treatment, we can extend
and apply hyperbaric oxygen treatment on these patients.

Objective: To explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen
(HBO) on sports ability in female middle- long distance
athletes before matches. Methods: Twenty-three female
1500 meter athletes were randomly divided into
hyperbaric oxygen group (HBO group, 11 cases) and
normal pressure air group (NPA group, 12 cases). Before
matches, eleven athletes (HBO group) were exposed to a
hyperbaric environment of 0.2MPa (2.0ATA) to accept a
treatment of hyperbaric oxygen. The time of rising
pressure was 20 min.the athletes inhale pure oxygen for
60 min, taking a rest for 10 min to breathe air among
inhaling oxygen. The time of reducing pressure was 30
min. The athletes in NPA group were exposed to a
ordinary pressure cabin for 120 min, breathing air. Their
quiet heart rate (HR), fatigue level, and the results of 1500
meter were determined respectively before and after
experiment. Results: Before experiment, all indexes of
two groups were not significantly different .After
experiment, the HR of athletes in HBO group were
average lower 3.08±0.83 beats each minute than before
experiment ,and also the feeling of fatigue and the results
of 1500m(female) were obviously improved as compaired

examination: Reflex of patellar tendon of both sides does
not exist. The muscular tension is low and muscle force of
the low limbs is level O－Ⅰwith negative Babinski Sign.
The patient was diagnosed as osteomyelitis preliminarily
and hospitalized. Inpatient examination: oligoclonal
antibody of CSF indicated the damaged blood-brain
barrier and disproportionated increased ratio of IgG.
Spine MRI showed the abnormal signals(T4 － T11).
Treatment: 200mg methylprednisolone ivgtt for the first
day, 250mg/d for the second and third day and following
prednisone 40mg/d P0 adding the use of γ-Globulin and
ATP. On the third day, she restored urinary discharge and
on the ninth day, she had the ability of fecal discharge
with still existing weak low limbs. HBO therapy began with
on the tenth day of hospitalization. After the first period of
HBO therapy, patient showed restored urinary and fecal
discharge completely, enhanced muscle force to level Ⅲ
－Ⅳ, increased muscle tension, rehabilitated reflex of
patellar tendon, positive pathological reflex and she could
walk supported by others. The progress after the second
therapeutic period involved walking by herself, the
asymmetrically induced reflex of patellar tendon and
promoted muscle force to level Ⅳ—Ⅴ.
For the ineffective normal treatment, we apply her HBO
treatment timely and the significantly increased muscle
force in low limbs suggested the nice synergic function of
HBO and normal treatment. The possible effect that HBO
treatment have in the case as following: increasing the
oxygen pressure and concentration of bone marrow and
enhancing the oxygen extension, which accelerating the
rectification of local hypoxia condition; reducing the spinal
cord edema; ameliorating the function of blood-spinal cord
barrier; abating the tissue adherence after local infection;
prolonging the reproduction period of damaged neural

The discussion of usage of electronic medical
equipments in hyperbaric oxygen chambers
Zhu JianMing
Xin Hua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong
University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China
When hyperbaric oxygen chamber works, it is a confined
manned pressure vessel, so it is a very important issue
that the proper usage of electronic medical equipments in
the cabin, which is related to the guarantee of the safety
and effectiveness of the treatment. When the various
equipment in the cabin are in an oxygen-rich environment
and play the redox reactions, so the board can not have a
monitor within the EDM, voltage can not exceed 24 V,
which is order to prevent high-pressure environment from
the impact and interference, and accurately monitor
patients’ various and real-time physiological information
who are inside the cabin for a long time. Health-care
workers can observe them convenient inside or outside
the cabin, and set and adjust parameters of change at any
time. Multi-parameter monitor is composed of two parts:
multiple physiological parameters box which is general at
the oxygen chamber and is used to measure the patient's
ECG, SpO2, NIBP, TEMP, and the physiological
parameter of the end of breathing carbon dioxide.
Through the standard RS232 socket and data
transmission lines, the patient's information can be easily
delivered to the computer workstations outside the
hyperbaric oxygen chamber whose general operating
voltage is DC 12 V and can be safely used in the
oxygen-rich environment. The purpose of usage of
computer workstations is to read the patient information
for analysis, storage, processing and link to HIS systems
in hospitals to share resources. LCD displays are
generally used in the oxygen chamber, and LCD is
generally divided into two main materials which are called
LCD and TFT respectively. The LCD screen usually
needs LED lights background, and also need high-voltage
lights which can light background lights. So the LCD is
liquid crystal display of the power supply DC 12 V, but in
order to supply background lights around 300 ~ 100 V
high-pressure, it needs a inverter power supply. It is
precisely this power of the high-voltage inverter, which
brings about the hidden dangers to patients who use the
LCD screen of multi-parameter monitors in the hyperbaric
oxygen chamber. When the oxygen concentration in the
high-pressure oxygen chamber is beyond the standard,
the high pressure about 300 ~ 100 V will produce "tinder"
phenomenon, and it is easy to bring about burning
accidents. The TFT (Thin Film Transistor), which is called
the film field-effect transistor, has made crystal electrodes
through using thin-film technology, and control the
opening and closing of any one point through using the
method of scanning. It needn’t use LED lights back to light
the liquid crystal display, so it has no high-pressure, and is
securer to use in the high-pressure oxygen chamber.
Discussion: We must pay attention to the materials of
liquid crystal display of the monitor which is used in the
cabin and use TFT LCD screen to the greatest possible
extent. Medical electronics, pneumatic equipment which
are used in the oxygen chamber could bring about
problems of high-voltage, superficial views on the author,
related departments should plan as soon as possible, to
make detailed laws and regulations of the usage of
electronic medical equipment which is in the hyperbaric
oxygen chamber, and to ensure the safety of usage.

Preventive
maintenance
of
equipments
and
hyperbaric oxygen chamber
Zhu JianMing, Yuan YunLai
Xin Hua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong
University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China
When hyperbaric oxygen chambers are at work, they are
confined manned pressure containers, so the safety is a
very important issue, the paper will be on the way to do a
study about Preventive Maintenance. Background: It is a
very important issue to ensure the safety of the usage of
oxygen chambers. In the daily usage of the oxygen
chamber, routine maintenance work must be done well
rather than repair it when it is out of work, which is to
ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatments. The
requirements of preventive maintenance: 1. When oxygen
chambers are at work, they are in the oxygen-rich
environment, so do remember to pay attention to the
range of lubricants when using PM. 2. Generally speaking,
a small amount of lubricating oil can be used only when
the internal of oxygen chambers in addition to the
revolving door to add flexibility, and other parts for
lubricating oil is prohibited. 3. PM asked to reflect "P", is
Preventive, so the cycle of doing PM should be classified
according to the frequency of usage of hyperbaric oxygen
chambers, at least twice a year. The implementation of
preventive maintenance: 1. As far as possible to set a
relatively fixed date, do not arbitrarily extend the cycle of
PM. 2. In addition to preparing the appropriate cleaning
supplies, we must also prepare a strong suction vacuum
cleaner and other equipments. 3. We must prepare
silicone oil according to the characteristics of hyperbaric
oxygen chambers. 4. To the devices, instrumentations
and equipments inside the oxygen chambers, case work
such as cleaning dust should be done. 5. First of all, a test
module should be done on equipments of oxygen
chambers to observe and monitor the real-time working
conditions for the record, and after the end of PM, we
should control the situation before and after. 6. Safety
teats, current tests and inspection of the grounding
impedance should be done to equipments inside
chambers. 7. After the end of PM, all work should be on
record and classified archive for verification in the future.
The discussion of preventive maintenance: It can extend
the life of hyperbaric oxygen chamber through PM, and
now the instruments are used within the SMT
surface-mount technology to assemble electronic
components, IC-pin is only 1 mm spacing, so if there is
dust and plot the event of a humid air, pin indirectly on a
larger on-resistance phenomenon have caused the
breakdown between the pin-damaged. It will be more
good rather than harm to do PM regularly, of course,
when doing PM, carefully formulated work must be done,
and the equipment within the CMOS circuitry must be
careful noticed and not use vacuum cleaner to suction
circuit, which will cause the possibility that circuit vacuum
cleaner was hit head on the electrostatic Wearing. We
should take Preventive Maintenance as a main way, and
take repairing as a supplemented way to extend the
service life of hyperbaric oxygen chambers and save
valuable resources of medical equipments and increase
the profits of hospitals.

treatment and to keep the oxygen chamber in the normal
work state is the prerequisite of hyperbaric oxygen
therapy. Below makes a discussion to the common fault in
the use of hyperbaric oxygen equipment. Common fault in
the use of hyperbaric oxygen chamber subsidiary
equipment: 1. At the use of the walkie-talkie of the oxygen
chamber occasionally leads to “ broadcast ” voice of the
radio broadcast interference in the middle of the night,
would seriously affect the signal communication between
in and outside the chamber. The main reason is 220V the
city electricity 50Hz power frequency disturbance string
amplifier, returned to original state “the broadcast sound”.
Solution: (1) Improve the grounding of the walkie-talkies
to make the grounding more reliable. (2) Place a capacitor
capacity from 0.01 µ f to 0.01 µ f on the secondarily power
transformer of the walkie-talkie in order to reduce the
disturbance phenomenon by the distributed capacitor.
(3) Use the transformers with center shielding layer
between first and secondary to replace the original one.
(4) Change the moving coil microphone and speaker
which used in chamber into the piezoelectric ceramic chip.
2. The lung type oxygen used in oxygen chamber is
specially designed for the driver attracts the oxygen
equipment, needs about 300Pa negative pressure to turn
on the rocking bar valve to attract the oxygen, when no
oxygen absorption in failure, refer to the following steps to
inspect: (1) Inspects whether the rubber cone-way valve
piece in the three-way pipe has the aging and anti-roll or
shifting bumps into attracts the oxygen tube collar
extension. (Row of oxygen breakdown reverse inspection
row of oxygen tube.) If found the rubber one -way valve
has the aged phenomenon, exchange a new one. If the
one-way valve bumps into three contacts collar extension,
install once again, not bump into the collar extension as
suitably. (2) Check the interior feeling press diaphragm
of the lung type oxygen whether it would produce the
aged chap in the course of time, if aging exchange a new
diaphragm. (3) The rocking bar valve module like occurs
loses the elasticity, cannot work when the normal work
scope, must adjust the module operating region or use in
exchange the new module. (4) The inspection lung type
oxygen supply with for the oxygen pipeline attachment
point, discovered when has the air leakage phenomenon,
must disassemble the attachment point, changes into
newly the aged O circle. 3. The use of self-flow oxygen in
oxygen chamber: In the oxygen cabin uses flows
automatically the oxygen general procedure uses the lung
type oxygen supply, adjusts the screw rod to move most
ambassador the oxygen to supply continuously, supplies
the oxygen with the face guard to the patient. This method
author thought improper, not only adjusts the biggest time
oxygen from to supply the oxygen pipe flow to leave also
can “see the seam from the lung type oxygen supply to
drill” in all directions the overflow, creates in the cabin the
oxygen concentration to elevate suddenly. In lung type
oxygen supply for an oxygen pipeline connection place
addition three contacts connection, moreover meets one
for the oxygen tube, connects in parallel fashion into a
small oxygen flow idea, follows the current on the gauge
outlet the direct supplies to have to use flows
automatically the oxygen patient, instead reduced in the
oxygen cabin oxygen concentration. 4. the problem in
the use of the rescue of medical equipment in hyperbaric
oxygen chamber. The 220V alternating current supply
cannot enter the oxygen chamber is advantaged in the
personal safety, but also limited the rescue medical
equipment to enter the oxygen chamber. There are many
air operated medical equipment (with rechargeable
battery inside) to be possible to supply in the oxygen
chamber to use. That large-scale oxygen chamber needs
frequently to rescue the seriously injured patient in the
oxygen cabin must install the special-purpose fast oxygen
connection in the chamber for the oxygen pipeline on. 5.
The common problem on the equipment supplies the
oxygen in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Enters the
cabin after the oxygen pipeline to divide into the left and
right two group supplies lung type oxygen supply, such
procedure can produce inevitably for the oxygen pipeline
“the blind end”, causes “the blind end” on patient to attract
the oxygen to feel the hard sledding. Installs one in each
lung type oxygen supply for the oxygen pipeline
attachment point “the cushion pot” to solve, “the cushion
pot” must have the volume which the enough big like 2
litres control. 6. The problem in the installment of the lung
type oxygen supply in oxygen chamber. In the oxygen
cabin the lung type oxygen supply installment direction
common is all kinds, there are the top and bottom
installment and the left and right one. The correct
installment direction of lung type oxygen supply should be
according to supplies under the oxygen tube vertical
dynasty, adjusts the screw rod to be vertical in on installs.
This way is the most reasonable one, the patient attracts
when the oxygen not only depends on the negative
pressure the function, moreover has the action of gravity
help to make an effort slightly. 7. The daily adjustment
method of the lung type oxygen supply. From attracts on
the oxygen tube the plastic three-way pipe to draw out
places nearby the ear on, adjusts the screw rod
dextrorotation, when just heard “si si” leaked the oxygen
sound, the screw rod maneuver half-turn, the lung type
oxygen supply is adjusted by now in “the critical point”,
attracted the oxygen to be at the optimum condition to
make an effort slightly. 8. The problem in the supply of
oxygen source in the oxygen bottle. The problem
produced by the valve gasket which between the bus and
the oxygen cylinder is that in the use of oxygen bottles
(pressure is 15MPa/150KPa) as a source of oxygen
supply, because of the use of nylon or Teflon used as the
gasket material for valve interior, some articles reported
frequently that a valve gasket in the combustion. The
ignition point temperature of Teflon is 300℃, not easy to
burn, so it is safety to use the gasket which is made by
material of the pure Teflon, but uses the gasket which the
material does on is easily to be a burning accident.
Completely change the Teflon gasket in the oxygen
supply pipeline into the red copper material so that once
and for all solves the burning hidden danger which
possibly exists. 9. Console oxygen supply oxygen
chamber pressure gauges, indicators can not return to the
issue. Installs an evacuation valve between the secondary
reducer and the control bench for the oxygen valve can
solve the problem. After the daily payload separation
ended, close the oxygen valve then open the evacuate
valve, drain away completely the pipeline in remaining
oxygen causes the indicator to return the zero. It can
extend the life of the oxygen pressure gauge that close
the oxygen valve and then immediately evacuate the
remaining oxygen in the oxygen pipeline, protect the
oxygen pressure gauge when the secondary reducer
sudden malfunction and the oxygen gauge hand ultra time
limit. 10. The problem in the compressed air used as the
compression medium. The air pressure cabin uses the
compressed air to take the compression medium when
treat patient, its quality is related with patient's safety and
the effect of the treatment directly. In medical oxygen
cabin GB code stipulated the compressed air must store
up period of time after the preparation to be able to use,
but in fact can achieve the oxygen cabin is few. In my
humble opinion, the compressed air used in the oxygen
cabin should refer to the standard of the military symbol
"Diving Breath Gas" to carry out to maintain patient's
treatment benefit. The first choice of vents one's anger
with air pressure is non-oil air compressor. Install the heat
interchanger behind the air outlet of the compressor,
which cause the compressed air temperature prepared
dropped greatly and reduce the presence of hydrocarbon
in the compressed air. Install the multistage fluids behind
the export mouth in the heat interchanger separator to
reduce the hydrocarbon again. Conditional liquid oxygen
chamber should increase behind the gas separator with a
dedicated dry precision porous filter so that the
preparation of the compressed air would be a better
quality. 11. The selection of the activated carbon in
oxygen chamber. The round circle columnar husk should
be the first choice of the activated carbon in oxygen
chamber supply air filters, because the graphite activated
carbon is refined from the coal and the coal-tar oil, but
0.3MPa the air feed limiting pressure can run out the
micro granulated activated carbon from the air strainer,
therefore the graphite, the micro granulated activated
carbon does not suit in the oxygen cabin air feed air
strainer to use.

We applicated hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment in 32
cases of metal poisoning in November 1996 to December
2007, and compared to similar cases who received
conventional treatment in November 1987 to November
1996, there was significant difference, it is report as
follows: Clinical data: 1. General information: There were
63 cases, 56 cases from the production workers, 9 cases
of mistaken consumption poisoning. 32 cases of HBO
treatment group, 20 cases men, 12 women, aged 22-55
years old, of which 9 cases of lead poisoning, 12 cases of
manganese poisoning, 9 cases of tin poisoning, 2 cases
of arsenic poisoning. 31 cases of control group 19 men,
12 women, aged 20-56 years old, of which 9 cases of lead
poisoning, 11 cases of manganese poisoning, tin
poisoning in 10 cases, 1 case of arsenic poisoning. Two
groups had almost the same performance. 2. Clinical
performance:
there
are
different
levels
of
unconsciousness in 12 cases and the rest had the
performance of headache, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia,
nausea, vomiting, tremor, polyuria and so on. 3.
Treatment: two groups used metal driving, symptomatic
treatment and support treatment. HBO treatment group
used medium-sized hyperbaric oxygen chamber,
compressing air to 0.2 MPa, inhaling oxygen for 80
minutes, the middle rest for 5-10 minutes,once a day, 12
times was 1 course, general 2-3 courses, up to 5 courses.
4. Efficacy evaluation standard: full recovery:
consciousness and other symptoms are back to normal.
markedly effective: consciousness has
returned to
normal, but the signs have not been completely back to
normal. improveing: symptoms and signs have got better
slightly after treatment. invalid: signs and symptoms did
not change after treatment. Results: effect of HBO
treatment group were: 11 cases full recovery, 11 cases
markedly effective, 7 cases improved, 3 cases invalid, and
the total efficiency was 90.6 percent. Control group: 5
cases full recovery, 8 cases markedly effective, 9 cases
improved, 9 cases invalid, the total efficiency was 70.9
percent. There was significant difference in two groups, P
<0.05. Discuss: the mechanism of HBO treatment in
metal poisoning is to rapidly improve the state of hypoxia,
to interrupt the vicious cycle of edema, so it can effectively
alleviate symptoms. HBO can increase blood oxygen
pressure, improve the metabolism of brain cells, reverse
or delay the degeneration of brain cells caused by the
poisoning, maintain the flexibility and toughness of red
blood cells and reduce the occurrence of hemolysis. This
observation of HBO treatment in metal poisoning had
quite satisfactory results. So for the patients of metal
poisoning,we suggest take early HBO treatment on the
basis of metal driving and symptomatic treatment,
patients of chronic poisoning should increase more
courses appropriately.

poisoning
Yalin Wang, Xiujie Li, Rong Li
Dalian Center Hospital, Dalian, China
A patient, male, 40 years old, suffered from sudden
serious stomach ache for 2 hours during working,
accompanied by nausea and vomiting. He touched
methanol in working environment. Preliminary diagnosis:
the stomach ache requires further examination. Two
hours later, the illness severity increased. His awareness
became unclear, accompanied by breathing difficulty, limb
getting cold, cyanosis, systemic tinea versicolor, no urine,
and BP 90/60 mmHg. Examination in laboratory shows: K
5.63mmol/L, BUN 12mmol/L, Cr 315umol/L, artery blood
Pa CO213mmHg, PH6.8. Diagnosis: methanol poisoning,
acute renal failure, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, and
distributed shock. The treatments to the patient include
orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation,
puncturing administration to right internal jugular vein, and
hemofiltration. 24 hours later, the patient’s awareness
recovered, the amount of urine returned to the normal
level, and he could make conversations. We stopped
mechanical ventilation. The patient said that he could not
see objects. Ophthalmology consultation: his eyes had no
light perception; the pupils dilated, D=5mm; direct and
indirect light reflex were both weak. We use energy
mixture, neurotrophic drugs to improve microcirculation
and use Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) therapy. 48 hours
after the patient entered the hospital, we performed HBO
therapy. Treatment Program: surface pressure 0.12Mpa,
oxygen inspiring time 60min, once per day. 32 days after
the patient received HBO treatment, his eye sight
recovered completely. Discussion: The patient is a
typical patient suffering from methanol poisoning, the
diagnosis is clear, and the HBO therapy is effective. The
purposes of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the
treatment include: 1. HBO helps to improve the activity of
cytochrome oxidase, to inhibit the generation of formic
acid and lactic acid, and to ease the acidosis. 2. HBO has
positive effect to repair and regenerate damaged nerves,
and helps to recover the function of optical nerves. 3.
HBO accelerates the regeneration of damaged capillaries,
provides oxygen for the establishment of circulation in
branch retina, improves the hypoxia status of the fundus
tissue, and prevents pathological changes of inner cells of
retina caused by ischemic and hypoxia. 4. The formic acid
generated during the methanol metabolism is also toxic to
the retina. Hyperbaric oxygen may enhance the activity of
formyl-H4 folate dehydrogenase, further promote the
metabolism of formal acid. On the whole, the patients
suffering from harmful gas poisoning should be treated
with HBO as early as possible. And HBO is one of the
necessary treatments to cope with harmful gas poisoning.

patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and to
analyze the mechanism of action. Methods: 84patients
suffered from ACI were randomly divided into HBO plus
BACU therapy group (HBO group) and BACU therapy
group (BACU group). The levels of serum endothelin
(ET-1), nitric oxide (NO) and the C-reactive protein (CRP)
were measured before and after treatment. The resultant
data were compared with normal healthy crowd. Results:
The levels of serum ET-1 and NO in patients with ACI
obviously elevated (P＜0.01). After treatment, the serum
ET-1 decreased, NO enhanced, and the ratio of ET-1/NO
decreased, while the decrease degree of the HBO group
was more remarkable, compared with the BACU group (P
＜0.01)At the same time, the CRP level in HBO group was
low significantly, compared with those before treatment (P
＜0.01), and no obvious change were observed in CRP
levels in patients before and after BACU therapy (P＞
0.05). Conclusions: Compared with solitary drug therapy,
HBO combination with BACU had better effect on ACI.
The main mechanisms of above combined therapy shows
that it could improve of vascular endothelium function,
inhibit the formation of ET-1, relieve vasospasm,
decrease in vivo inflammatory reaction, restrain blood
clotting, promote the establishment of collateral circulation,
and prevent ischemic brain tissue damage.

China
Objective: Acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) is
likely to be the most common cause of poisoning
worldwide and often results in persistent damage to the
important organs such as brain, liver and kidney. Some
trials have definitively shown hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) as
the efficacious therapy for acute carbon monoxide
poisoning. The objectives of this article are to study the
protective
effect
of
hyperbaric
oxygen
on
the ultrastructure of liver and kidney in rats after acute
carbon monoxide Poisoning. Methods: The rats were
randomly divided into ACMP 1st day group, ACMP 5th
day group, ACMP 10th day group, ACMP15th day
group,HBO1st day group, HBO5th day group, HBO10th
day group, HBO15th day group and normal control group.
Model rats after acute carbon monoxide poisoning were
established. The ultrastructure changes of liver and
kidney in rats of all groups were observed by electron
microscope. Results: Slight mitochondria swelling, focal
vacant area and rupture of mitochondria crista was
observed in some liver cells of ACMP 1st day group. The
pathological changes became aggravating in liver cells of
ACMP 5th day group and ACMP 10th day group, and
alleviating in liver cells of ACMP 15th day group.
Compared with simultaneous ACMP group, the pathologic
changes of ultrastructure in liver cells of HBO groups were
significantly improved. From ACMP 1st day group to
ACMP 5th day group, the pathologic changes of
ultrastructure in kidney cells was ingravescent. Although
the pathologic changes of ACMP 10th day group and
ACMP 15th day group became alleviating, slight
mitochondria swelling was observed in some epithelial
cells, meantime interstitial edema and congestion
remained obvious. Compared with simultaneous ACMP

HBO pretreatment enhances neovascularization in
ischemic
myocardium.
Methods:
Adult
male
Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four
groups: normoxia + sham surgery (CS), normoxia +
permanent occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD)
coronary artery (CMI), HBO pretreatment + sham surgery
(HS), HBO pretreatment + permanent LAD occlusion
(HMI). Rats receiving HBO pretreatment were
intermittently exposed to 100% O2 at 2.5 atmospheres
absolute (ATA) for 60min, twice daily for 2 days followed
by 12h of recovery in room air prior to the myocardial
ischemic insult induced by LAD ligation. Rats in the
normoxia group were time matched with the HBO group
and maintained under normoxic conditions prior to LAD
occlusion. At 3 and 7 days after LAD occlusion, heart
function parameters were measured by inserting a
catheter into the left ventricle, infarct size was calculated
using the method of TTC staining, myocardial capillary
density was determined by immunohistochemical staining
with a monoclonal anti-CD31/PECAM-1 antibody, VEGF
protein level was determined by Western blot analysis,
and cell proliferation was detected by BrdU staining.
Results: At 3 days after LAD ligation, the infarct size of the
HMI group was significantly smaller than that of the CMI
group (26±2.5% vs. 38±3%, Pmax and -dP/dtmax were
significantly improved in the HMI group compared to the
CMI group at 3 and 7 days after LAD occlusion. Capillary
density, VEGF protein levels, and cell proliferation
detected by BrdU staining were significantly increased in
the ischemic myocardium pre-exposed to HBO.
Conclusion: HBO pretreatment accelerates angiogenesis
and alleviates myocardial ischemia in the present rat
model.

Objective: Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC)
increases the level of HIF-1α and its target gene VEGF
which is involved in angiogenesis. Liver regeneration is an
angiogenesis-dependent process. We hypothesized that
HIF-1α and VEGF mediated the angiogenesis effect of
HBO-PC on regenerating rat liver. Methods: Male
Sprague Dawley rats received HBO-PC followed by 70%
partial hepatectomy. Proliferation of hepatocytes and
endothelial cells was evaluated by BrdU staining.
Microvascular
density
was
assessed
by
immunohistochemistry. mRNA expression of HIF-1α was
assessed by quantitative RT-PCR and protein levels of
HIF-1α and VEGF were assessed by western blot. HIF-1α
DNA-binding activity was determined with an
ELISA-based kit. Results: HBO-PC increased the
proliferation index of endothelial cells and microvascular
density at 48 hr after partial hepatectomy. The protein
level and DNA-binding activity of HIF-1α and the protein
level of VEGF were increased by HBO-PC before and
after partial hepatectomy. Partial hepatectomy alone also
increased proliferation index and the expressions of
HIF-1α and VEGF. Conclutions: Our results indicated
that the angiogenesis effect of HBO-PC on liver after
partial hepatectomy could be achieved by increased
HIF-1α activity and VEGF expression. However, the
angiogenic effect of HBO-PC is moderate and HBO-PC
failed to produce additional effect on the enhancement of
HIF-1α and VEGF induced by partial hepatectomy alone.

Objective: To approach the pneumatocephalusability
when hyperbaric oxygen treatment for acute brain injury
patient. Method: reporting a practicality. Result: a patient
suffered a acute brain injury and got left frontal bone
fracture. We cured him with hyperbaric oxygen. The
pressure of chamber is 0.12Mpa, the oxygen uptake time
is 30 minutes, then interrupt with 5 minutes air, and input
oxygen for another 30 minutes, the compression time 15
minutes, and lower to atmospheric pressure with 20
minutes. After 5 times of hyperbaric oxygen treatment,
head CT of the patient showed elliptical gas density in left
front brain. Conclusion: On the occasions of the head
lacerated wound, the fractured skull or skull bottom,
around the eye socket hypodermic and the conjunctiva
ecchymosis, the external auditory meatus or nasal
passage had the bloodstain, cerebrospinal fluid leaks
from nose, ear or eye. malfunction of smell, the vision to
be fuzzy, and symptoms of oculomotorius damage. It is
necessary to take a head CT before making the
hyperbaric oxygen treatment. If the patient shows some
symptoms of headache, dizziness, diplopia or vomit in the
pressure chamber. the doctor should stop compress,
respire oxygen and reduce pressure slowly. Then
reexamine head CT, to prevent the gas from entering

The first to enter is last to exit law of gas saturation
and de-saturation
Xiao Pingtian
Xiangya Hospital of Centre South University, Changsha,
China
objective: To investigate the law of gas getting into or out
of the body during changes of environmental gas pressure.
Method: We used two methods of cabin operation to
compare the region of variation of real efficiency figures of
partial oxygen pressure (PO2T) and partial nitrogen
pressure (PN2T) in five kinds of hypothetical tissues, and
with different compression time and different steady
pressure: In procedure I, patients were assigned to inspire
air during the compression stage; In procedure II, the
patients inspired oxygen during the compression stage.
Results: ①The PO2T of procedure II was markedly larger
than that of procedure I and the PN2T of procedure II was
markedly less than that of procedure I；②The size of
region of variation of PO2T and PN2T in both procedures
was in direct proportion to the speed of gas saturation of
the tissues；③The PO2T and PN2T of all groups increased
as the steady pressure increased. The PN2Tof procedure
I of all group increased on lengthening the time of
compression, but the PO2T was not increased, and, on
the contrary, it reduced a little. Conclusion: The law of
gas going into or out of the body is that the gas that is
saturated first, is the last to de-saturate (first to enter is
last to exit), and this law is mainly to increase the time
efficiency of hyperbaric effect. The law of “first rapid, later
slow” is to raise the pressure efficiency of gas saturated in
advance of hyperbaric effect. These two laws are the
significant theoretical basis for hyperbaric oxygenation
pretreatment and the reason that procedure II is selected
to replace procedure I. However, when procedure II is
applied, the compression time should not be overly
prolonged.

strain declined, and the muscle force of the lower limbs
were of grade 0~I. The Babinski’s signs of the lower limbs
were negative. The cerebrospinal test indicated the
corruption of blood brain barrier (BBB), the dispropotion
increased of IgG. And the MRI of the spine revealed:
abnormal signal of spinal cord (T4~T11), advisement
diagnosis was acute myelitis. Then the patient was given
high-dose hormone implusion treatment, associated with
neurotrophic drugs. Three days later, the patient could
urinate by herself. On the ninth day, the patient was noted
to have pathologic signs of neurosystem and can defecate
herself. But her lower limbs were still disability. Ten days
after the patient entered the hospital, she took the oxygen
treatment. One oxygen chamber session finished, the
patient’s muscle force of lower limbs increased to grade
Ⅲ－Ⅳ and the muscle strain also improved. PTR test
exist. She can walk by help. When two oxygen chamber
sessions finished, the patient recovered, she can walk by
herself. The PTR test performed showed normal exist, the
muscle force was grade Ⅳ—Ⅴ. This case the patient had
unsatisfactory effect under normal treatment, however,
combined with hyperbaric-oxygen treatment, the paralysis
gradually reduced, muscle force improved, and the patient
could walk without help. The hyperbaric-oxygen treatment
could improve the spinal oxygen saturation and the
pressure of spinal oxygen, increase the oxygen dispersion,
thus could improve the anoxic situation of spinal cord,
decrease the dropsy of spinal cord, and also improve the
function of BBB, alleviate the inflammational
conglutination of the tissue. The hyperbaric-oxygen
treatment could also extend the time of neurocell
regeneration; protect the reversible nerve, which in the
end improve the function of the nerve. Since the BBB

unsteady step like drunk, limb fatigue and numbness,
malaise and vomiting. The patient was seen in the
out-patient and given transfusion treatment. The tremedy
of transfusion was not clear. His symptoms were
controlled for a time. However, the headache and
dizziness increased, and he did not have a response to
treatment with transfusion, the patient was scheduled for
oxygen treatment on Dec27th 2007. The protocol of
hyperbaric-oxygen treatment was: exposed to 100
percent oxygen at 1 and then 2.2 atmospheres absolute
during the chamber session. After five times oxygen
chamber treatment, the patient recovered and remained
chest bored and limb fatigue. When one oxygen chamber
session finished, the patient was evaluated in the
out-patient clinic. Additional information were obtained, it
was learned that the chest bored disappeared, the
headach and dizziness decreased, and the limb
numbness also decreased. After two oxygen chamber
sessions, the symptoms of the patient dissapeared.
Discussion: Methyl chloroform was a kind of low toxity
poison. Reports on its poisoning mechanism on health
were poor. The approach for its poisoing was
predominately through aspiratory system. The target
apparatus of methy chloroform was neural system. When
exposure in low-concentration methyl chloroform, the
symptoms were restrain effects of neural system such as
body im-balanced. However, the exposure in
high-concentration methyl chloroform would lead to an
aesthesia-like symptoms of the neural system, even the
loss of respiratory and resulting in the death of patient. In
this case, the patient was inadvertently inhaled the methyl
chloroform gas during work, which resulting in the nerual

Objective：
：Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is called the silent
epidemic in china, because of which our society is now
suffering from heavy economic burden. All kinds of
medicine and hypothermia treatments have failed to
improve the TBI patients’ functional outcome and lower
down mortality rates. Recently, oxygen therapy has
shown a great effect in the animal and clinical research,
and it is quite promising to treat TBI with hyperbaric
oxygen (HBO) therapy. So the HBO therapy is getting
more and more important in the treatment of the acute TBI
and in the process of recovery. Consequently, this review
summarizes the current mechanisms of HBO treatment in
traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their efficacy. Methods:
Directed literature review. Results: It was considered that
the cerebral vasoconstriction and increasing the oxygen
utilization were the primary mechanisms of HBO in
treating TBI. But now, it is found that HBO can improve
the cellular level cerebral aerobic metabolism so as to
make the damaged mitochondrial recover. Furthermore,
HBO, with the ideal treatment paradigm of 1.5 ATA during
60 minutes, does not produce oxygen toxicity so the
patients will be relatively safe. However, although whether
to use HBO to treat TBI, remains controversial, more and
more evidences show that HBO may be a method to treat
the patients with brain injury. So further investigations are
required to prove the effect of HBO in treating TBI and the
pharmacy and treatment opportunity still need research.

ISO
refers
to
International
Organization
for
Standardization. The essence of standardization is the
design and implementation of all kinds of rules and
regulations. The design and implementation of rules are
absolutely necessary for treatment with hyperbaric
oxygen chamber. We can assure absolute safety of
hyperbaric oxygen chamber in treatment process,
increase the overall quality of the Hyperbaric Oxygen
Department, increase the safety management level for
hyperbaric oxygen chamber, improve all of the rules and
regulations in the process of modification and assure that
the safety management of hyperbaric oxygen chamber
keeps at the best level only when the designed rules and
regulations are strictly obeyed and firmly implemented to
turn visible rules into invisible actions. ISO standardized
management is the top priority in the treatment process
with hyperbaric oxygen chamber as it is directly related
with the life safeties of patients. Absolute life safeties of
patients who are treated with treated with hyperbaric
oxygen chamber can be assured only when all hidden
dangers are eliminated. The key to the safety
management of hyperbaric oxygen chamber lies on the
implementation as well as continued modification and
perfection of all sorts of rules and regulations.
Standardized management is extremely important in the
safety management of hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Aim: To evaluate the role of hyperbaric oxygenation
(HBO) on the convalescence of brain injury at high
altitude. Method: 270 patients convalescence of brain
injury treated with HBO adding to medicines compared
with 98 patients treated with medicines at the same period.
Result: The cure rate in HBO group was obviously higher
than that in medicine group. Conclusion: HBO can

Objective: To observe the changes of content of
interleukin-1beta(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor- alpha
(TNF-α),Intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and
interleukin-10 (IL-10) before and after hyperbaric oxygen
in the injuried brain tissue of Sprague-Dawley rats
following severe lateral fluid-percussive brain injury and to
explore the mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen on traumatic
brain injury. Methods: 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats were
randomly distributed into 3 different groups: traumatic
brain injury group (TBI group), hyperbaric oxygen group
(HBO group) and sham-operation group (SO group).The
severe traumatic brain injury models were established by
the fluid percussion device. After 6 to 72 hours of survival,
rats were killed, and about 200 mg of brain tissue that
contained the injury site, as well as tissue proximal to this
region,was isolated for homogenizing.The concentrations
of IL-1β, TNF-α, ICAM-1and IL-10 in the homogenate of
brain tissue were measured at 6h, 24h, 48h and 72h,
respectively, by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA).Protein levels were determined by the
method of Bradford. Results: were expressed as
means±stand deviation.The SPSS 11.5 software was
used for statistical analysis. The differences between
groups
were
compared
using
a
One-Way
ANOVA,followed by an inter-groups analysis using the
Student Newman Keuls Test. Differences were
considered significant if the P value was <0.05. Results:
1.The concentration of IL-1β in homogenate in the HBO
group at 6h was significantly higher than that of the SO
group (p<0.05), but lower than that of the TBI group
(p<0.05). The concentration of IL-1β in homogenate in the
HBO group at 24h was significantly lower than that of the
TBI group (p<0.05). 2. The concentration of TNF-α in
homogenate in the HBO group at 6h was significantly
lower than that of the TBI group (p<0.05). 3. The
concentration of ICAM-1 in homogenate in the HBO
group respectively at 6h, 24h, 48h and 72h was
significantly higher than that of the SO group (p<0.05),but
lower than that of the TBI group (p<0.05). 4.The
concentration of IL-10 in homogenate in the HBO group
respectively at 6h, 24h and 48h was significantly higher
than that of the SO group (p<0.05),but there was no
significant difference compared with TBI group (p>0.05).
Conclusions: 1. Fluid percussion device can establish a
severe traumatic brain injury model of rat successfully. 2.
IL-1β, TNF-α, ICAM-and 1IL-10, which took part in the
inflammatory mechanism after trauma, were elevated in
the injuried brain tissue following TBI. 3. HBO treatment
can effectively relieve the inflammatory following TBI
through inhibiting the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and
ICAM-1, but can not throuth elevating the expression of
IL-10. HBO may play a role in preventing the secondry
brain injury and protecting the injury brain through the
above mechanisms.

Welcome Message
Dear friends and colleagues,
th
Welcome to Beijing for the 16 international Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine (ICHM2008).
The world has witnessed the rapid economic and social development in China in the recent years. The
HBO medicine is developing and advancing together with the economic growth. In particular, it has got
inspiring achievements in China in the basic and clinical research of HBO therapy in the treatment of
delayed neuropsychologic sequelae, ischemic cerebral vascular diseases and high altitude diseases.
Chinese health professionals are willing to share our experience with our colleagues around the world.
The ICHM2008 will be a summit meeting for all leading specialists in the field of h[l1]yperbaric and
u[l2]nderwater Medicine, and a grand gathering for basic researchers and clinical experts from all over the
world. World-renowned experts will give lectures during the congress. I am sure their speeches must be
both educational and interesting.
We also invite your family and friends to come with you. We have arranged special tours for your
accompanying persons. I believe they will enjoy their stays in Beijing when you have busy scientific
schedule at meeting.
A rich cultural and historic heritage, accumulated through the passage of time, adds an extraordinary aura
to Beijing. The five dynasties that chose Beijing as their capital have left abundant antique treasures.
Travelers would marvel at every turn on a tour to this hottest destination of the world today: from the
grandiose Forbidden City to the gorgeous Great Wall, and from the labyrinth-like hutong to other worldly
royal mausoleums.
Wish you a good stay in China.
Prof. Gao Chunjin

Welcoming Address to the Participants of the XVI-th Congress of the International Congress on
Hyperbaric Medicine (ICHM).
Exactly 45 years ago, in 1963, the First Congress of the ICHM took place in the Surgical Clinic of the
University Hospital, the Wilhelmina Gasthuis in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Professor Ite Boerema, the
“father of Hyperbaric Medicine” and professor of Surgery and his Staff had invited many colleagues from
all over the World to discuss the first results of the application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Drenching, as
Boerema used to call it, in a variety of indications.
The most prominent indications at that time were Infectious diseases mainly Anaerobic Infections,
Coronary Infarction, Experimental Cancer Therapy in a combination with Chemotherapy and
Hyperthermia. Also the use of HBO in Carbon Monoxide poisoning, both experimental and clinically was
discussed. Much attention was given to Physiological and Pharmacological problems and Oxygen Toxicity,
with this new mode of therapy. Cardiovascular Surgery in combination with HBO and Hypothermia, the first
and for some time the only indication, was also a leading subject. Both experimental and clinical results
were reported. Building problems of chambers and Safety were also not forgotten. Participation to that
Congress was strictly on invitation by Boerema himself, at that time well thought of, but fortunately the one
and only time that this happened in our history. The participants came from the USA, the UK, France,
Australia and South Africa. In a historical review Jack Jacobson II of New York started with mentioning the
Diving Bell of Aristotle, used in 332 BC by Alexander the Great in his siege of Tyre. So our history of diving
and hyperbaric medicine goes back almost as far as medicine in general.
From that time on regular Congresses were held at a four-yearly (until 1981, Moscow) and later threeyearly interval.
The first time that the Congress moved to Asia was in 1969 when we met in Sapporo, Japan. In 1993 the
Congress gathered in China, in Fuzhou under the chairmanship of the late professor of Cardiac Surgery,
Wen Ren Li.
We are very happy that we are back in China today thanks to the efforts of our present chairman,
professor Gao Chunjin and his whole team of the Chinese Medical Association (mrs. Chenchen) and the
Chinese Hyperbaric Medical Society.
I must say that I have been much impressed in the foregoing two years by the very solid and precise
preparations of the Organizing Committee. Nothing has been left to chance. The same has been noticed
by the whole world in the Organisation of the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games just before our
Congress this year.
On behalf of the Executive Committee of the ICHM and all participants here, I will extend my sincere
thanks and admiration to prof Gao Chunjin and his staff for this excellent organization.
3
We all look forward to the coming days, both professionally and socially. It is always a pleasure to meet old
friends again in these nice surroundings.
There will be also much work to do. The Executive Committee will lose two of its long standing members,
our Secretary-Treasurer Fred Cramer and our Executive Director, Dirk Jan Bakker. After many years of
serving you and because of our ages we will resign during this Congress and we will choose new
members during the Governors Luncheon. I myself will stay involved in matters of the Congress but not
any more in an official position.
From this point I want to thank Fred very sincerely for his never ending efforts to advertise the Congress
on various occasions, to solicit for new Membership and finding sponsoring for the Newsletter, which was
really not an easy task. It will be difficult to replace him.
Well ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues and friends, I am convinced that we will have an excellent and
rewarding time here in the magnificent historical city of Beijing, both scientifically and socially. I wish you all
a very pleasant and happy stay.
Thank you very much for your attention.
D.J.Bakker, MD PhD
h.t. Executive Director of the ICHM.

HBO in Tokyo Medical and Dental University in 2007 and The Effects of HBO on Soft Tissue Injury in
Sports Activity
Kazuyoshi Yagishita, Nobuo Yamami, Seiichiro Togawa, Yoshihiro Mano
Hyperbaric Medical Center, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan
Objective: In our university hospital, multiplace chamber including 3 rooms and the capacity of 16 patients was
set up in 2001. In 2007, 7970 times hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in 958 patients were performed, which is
the most patients number in one institute in a year in Japan. The purposes of this study were to report the
diseases and the patients performed with HBO in our hospital last year. The effects of HBO on crush injury and
compartment syndrome were well documented by many authors, and randomized controlled studies revealed the
effects of HBO on reduction of necrosis and edema. We now perform HBO aggressively to soft tissue injury
including compartment syndrome, ankle sprain, knee ligament injury, and muscle strain. The purposes of this
study were also to investigate the effect of HBO on soft tissue injury in sports activity. Patients and Methods:
7970 times HBO in 958 patients were performed in our hospital in 2007. The number of the patients and HBO
times were evaluated. In 180 patients with soft tissue injury in sports activity, visual analog scale (VAS) scores
and recovery time to previous sports activity were evaluated. Results: The number of the patients and HBO times
in decompression illness were respectively 374 patients and 764 times, 87 patients and 934 times in sudden
deafness, 34 patients and 740 times in peripheral vascular disorder including diabetes and arteriosclerosis
obliterans, 47 patients and 1046 times in osteomyelitis, 180 patients and 865 times in soft tissue injury related
sports activity, 90 patients and 1644 times in myelopathy and radicuropathy, 19 patients and 220 times in carbon
monoxide poisoning, and 18 patients and 259 times in radiation-induced cystitis. In patients with soft tissue injury
nd
in sports activity, VAS scores improved compared between pre and post 2-hour HBO. In patients with 2 grade
medial collateral ligament injury of the knee in HBO group, recovery acceleration to previous sport activity was
observed. Conclusion: In HBO procedure in our university in 2007, no major patient troubles and no chamber
problems were recorded. The effects of HBO on soft tissue injury were strongly suggested in this study.

Hyperbaric Oxygen may accelerate tumour-bearing mice to death
Qingle LIU, Chenggang Zheng, Xiaohua Hang
Changhai Hospital, the Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China
Objective: To explore the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on life-span in tumour-bearing
mice. Method: Male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into celiac-tumour group: inoculating tumour cell into
abdominal cavity of the animal, celiac-tumour-HBO group: inoculating tumour cell into abdominal cavity and then
exposing to hyperbaric oxygen, back-tumour group: inoculating tumour cell under skin of the back of the animal,
back-tumour-HBO group: inoculating tumour cell under skin of the back of the animal and then exposing to
hyperbaric oxygen. There are 7 mice in each group. After s-180 tumour cell was translated to mice HBO was
given once a day in concerned group. The life-span and skin ulcer were observed. Results: The life-span is
27.57士4.4693 days in celiac-tumour-group, 24士2.9439 days in celiac-tumour-HBO group, 63.43士21.844 days
in back-tumour group, and 35.14士8.934 days in back-tumour-HBO group. The life-spans in celiac-tumour group
and in celiac-tumour-HBO group are different, but P value is 0.133204; the life-spans in back-tumour group and in
back-tumour-HBO group are significant and P value, 0.009002. Conclusion: The life-span of mice in backtumour-HBO group was shorten by exposing HBO, and life-span in celiac-tumour-HBO group is tendency to be
shorten by HBO exposure. The ulcer formation is postponed by HBO in back-tumour-HBO group.

The medical oxygen pressurized cabin which is convenient and suitable for patients with different diseases and
ages has been widely used for decades. Meanwhile, it is accepted by a majority of hospitals. To select
appropriate input/output of oxygen, structure and washing method is beneficial to oxygen concentration elevation
and distribution in cabin, because pure oxygen is used as medium for compression. Three ways of oxygen
input/output(on the top, middle and bottom of the cabin), three states of the cabin(with a bed, with a bed and a
patient, without a bed and a patient) and three ways of washing method(continued washing method with boosting
pressure, washing method of boosting pressure of the gap of the door, boosting pressure directly without cabinwashing) was adopted in our trial. To detect oxygen distribution during the procedure of elevated, stable and
decreased pressure, nine sampling outlets which located on the top, middle and bottom of cabin were set.
Delivery pressure in cabin is 0.1 MPa in the meter. Experimental session lasted for 80 minutes. Process of
experiment accorded to the rule of Chinese Medical Association—HBO branch. Measurement range of digital
oxygen analyzer is 0-100%. Interval time of sampling is 2 minutes. Influential factor of oxygen distribution in
cabin-Our research suggests that main influential factor of oxygen distribution are broadside stretcher and
input/output location of oxygen at the bottom of cabin. Oxygen distribution of the structure that broadside stretcher
combined with input/output oxygen at the bottom of cabin is as follow: 90% under the broadside stretcher, 40% on
top of it, while 60% in the middle of it. Such distribution of oxygen is not good for safety of cabin and could not
meet the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The main reason of asymmetrical distribution of oxygen is that
broadside stretcher exerts negative influence on oxygen diffusion and short-circuit at the bottom of the broadside
stretcher (mal-design of input/output location of oxygen leads to automatic washing beneath the broadside
stretcher). Whereas, the structure mentioned above is the most widely used one in the single pure oxygen
chamber. If the entrance of oxygen is designed on top of or in the middle side of cabin ( on top of the broadside
stretcher) may make oxygen concentration achieve up to 65~75% when the pressure is stable at 0.1MPa, thus,
oxygen distribution will be symmetrical in cabin. Output of oxygen has nothing to do with oxygen concentration in
cabin. However, broadside stretcher not only plays an important role in oxygen diffusion in cabin, but also divides
the cabin into two parts. Therefore, to minimize the broadside stretcher plays a positive role in oxygen diffusion in
cabin. Best way of washing the cabin- Oxygen concentration and distribution in cabin is the same with ordinary
compression procedure that five minutes continued washing method or pressure achieved at 0.1 MPa directly.(
with the cabin washed, oxygen concentration is higher by 2% on top of it, while the middle and the bottom part are
higher by 4% versus not to wash the cabin.) However, washing method of normal pressure of the gap of the door
is the most ideal way because it may elevate oxygen concentration up to 80% in 5 minutes inside the cabin.
Selection of sampling outlet of oxygen-Sampling outlet of oxygen is located on top of the broadside stretcher
in the middle of cabin at present. Oxygen concentration is affected by the following factors: differences of the
width and height of broadside stretcher; irrationality of oxygen input/output design; different ways of washing.
Hence, ordinary method for oxygen detection fails to reflect oxygen distribution in cabin. Solution for symmetric
oxygen concentration is to change oxygen input location and adopt the most ideal way of washing. The specific
way is to have the sampling outlet located on top of the broadside stretcher. Oxygen diffusion in cabin-In our 15
times experiment, we found no alteration of oxygen concentration all over the cabin with the pressure up to 0.1
MPa for 40 minutes. It is suggested that oxygen diffusion didn’t change apparently in both quantity and quality
with the pressure up to 0.1 MPa for 40 minutes. Nevertheless, oxygen diffused obviously when pressure
decreased. Oxygen concentration on the top and the middle of the cabin was almost the same whereas relatively
higher at the bottom of cabin when there existed a broadside stretcher with the pressure of 0.06 MPa inside the
cabin. Oxygen concentration is almost the same in the upper, middle and lower location when the pressure is
about 0.03 MPa.
