Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we performed comprehensive gene expression analysis of the contra-lesional cerebrum of neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy animal model at acute phase. The results suggest that 1 hour after lesioning, inflammatory responses are induced, and that induced inflammatory reactions continue at 24 hour after lesioning. Furthermore, neuropathy progression is suggested at both 1 hour and 24 hour after lesioning. From these results, we concluded that the contra-lesional hemisphere of neonatal ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy animal model is important subject of investigation.
