| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Severe neonatal asphyxia induces hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and is a disease affecting severe brain damage and life prognosis. On the other hand, severe neonatal asphyxia develops disseminated intra-vascular coagulation (DIC). In this study, we examined the therapeutic effect of recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM) for neonatal DIC, which was associated with severe neonatal asphyxia, and noticeably improved effect of HIE was observed in addition to the improvement effect of neonatal DIC . Therefore, the brain nerve protection effect of rTM was examined in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MACO) model using rats. As a result, it was thought that rTM has not only the effect of DIC but also brain nerve protection. It was also suggested that inflammation was involved in the pathological condition. However, we believe that this study requires further verification from the limit of the number of experiments.
