Similarity of reactions by neurons; more dependency of environment damage from inside CNS:--> astrocytes, loss of nutrition, of cytoskeletal compound,

activation of GAP3 and release of toxins--> microglia, release of toxins and activation of MHCII and CR3--> neurons: loss of targed-derived factors; dendritic and axons atrophy and loss of molecules

transport--> low synthesis of growth factors and low leullar

guidance impairement of BBB and arrival of cytokines

( lungs, digestive tract, blood cells, bone marrow )

Neurotrophic factors have specific targets;

their main roles are to prevent neuronal loss and maintenance of axons regrowth;

1. Neurotrophins family (NGF, BDNF )

2. Cytokins growth factors ( LIF, CNTF, CT-1 )

3. Fibroblats growth factors ( FGF1 and 2 ); mainly for layers II and III, hippocampus.

4. The insulin growth factors5. The transforming factor beta

1. Brain damage is widespread in infants who die, and can be diffuse or focal, but white matter is the tissue most affected.

2. US evidence of white matter injury ... is the most important determinant of long-term outcome.

3. Thyroid hormone is the single most predictive measure of outcome obtainable on serum in the first week of life

4. Hypocapnia (PCO2 < 25) and perhaps hyperoxia (PO2 > 60) should be avoided.

5. The finding in the placenta most predictive of brain injury is fetal vasculitis; membrane inflammation alone is not associated with brain injury
