TL;DR
This study evaluated the accuracy of 1 minute Apgar score and umbilical arterial pH for prediction of the risk of perinatal brain damage and a new and very sensitive method for CK-BB determination was used as reference.
Abstract
This study was carried out on 45 newborns to evaluate the accuracy of 1 minute Apgar score and umbilical arterial pH for prediction of the risk of perinatal brain damage. Using a new and very sensitive method for CK-BB determination, which is considered a good indicator of brain damage, CK-BB was used as reference. Patients with low Apgar score at one minute of life had significantly higher cord blood CK-BB values than the control group (p less than 0.01). No difference was found between the control group and the group with umbilical cord blood acidosis (p less than 0.2).

632 Citations1981Karin B. Nelson, Jonas H. Ellenberg
Apgar scores were recorded at one and five minutes for approximately 49,000 infants, and at ten, 15, and 20 minutes for babies who did not achieve a score of 8 or higher at five minutes and followed to the age of 7 years.
Life SciencesUse of plasma norepinephrine for evaluation of sympathetic neuronal function in man
549 Citations1976Charles Lake, Michael G. Ziegler +1 more
Levels of norepinephrine in human plasma have been determined by a radioenzymatic technique sufficiently sensitive to measure 0.014 ng NE per ml plasma by evaluating sympathetic neuronal function based on the increments in plasma NE produced by postural change and a standard amount of exertion.
Pediatric ResearchCatecholamine Release in the Newborn Infant at Birth
404 Citations1977Hugo Lagercrantz, Peter Bistoletti
The high catecholamine concentrations in umbilical blood indicate that the sympathoadrenal system might have a functional role in the fetus at delivery, and the enormous levels at asphyxia might be of importance to sustain the circulatory homeostasis.
Pediatric ResearchHypoxanthine as a Measurement of Hypoxia
216 Citations1975Ola Didrik Saugstad
Preliminary results indicate that the hypoxanthine concentration in plasma is a sensitive parameter of hypoxia, and it is expected that this metabolite will express the degree ofhypoxia quantitatively and regardless of the etiology of the Hypoxia.
Journal of Biological ChemistryA Kinetic Study of Bovine Adrenal Tyrosine Hydroxylase
169 Citations1966Masayuki Ikeda, Leonard A. Fahien +1 more
Kinetic data are presented which are consistent with the concept that the mechanism of tyrosine hydroxylase involves the following sequential steps: reduction of an oxidized form of the enzyme by 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethyltetrahydropteridine followed by dissociation of the oxidized pteridine.
Pediatric ResearchA SIMPLIFIED ASSESSMENT OF GESTATIONAL AGE
139 Citations1977Jeanne L. Ballard, Kathy Kazmaier +2 more
A simplified scoring system provides a rapid and accurate assessment of gestational age and the correlation for the score obtained for the total assessment was greater than that for any of the individual components.
Journal of Neuroscience ResearchA sensitive radioenzymatic assay for catechol drugs
102 Citations1980Lenard R. Durrett, Michael G. Ziegler
Most drugs containing the catechol structure can be radiolabeled and separated from norepinephrine and epinephrine by this technique to provide simultaneous measurement of endogenous and exogenously administered catechols.

There was no clear discrimination between hypoxic and well oxygenated infants, although mean concentrations were higher in infants with well defined criteria of intrapartum hypoxia or birth asphyxia, and there was overlap with the normal range.

54 Citations1975Ola Didrik Saugstad
Experiments show that this method is highly specific during physiologic conditions, and other purines which can be metabolized to hypoxanthine can be determined by this method.

46 Citations1980Jens H. Henriksen, Niels Juel Christensen +2 more
The pulmonary haemodynamic changes and increased pulse rate may, at least partly, be due to enhanced sympathetic nervous activity in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease, probably caused by the deranged blood gases.
Pediatric ResearchHypoxanthine as a Test of Perinatal Hypoxia as Compared to Lactate, Base Deficit, and pH
45 Citations1982Sten Swanström, Lars‐Eric Bratteby
It is concluded that the optimal time for detecting past intrauterine hypoxia in the newborn using the hypoxanthine test is between 10 and 20 min after birth, but in individual cases, significantly increased hypox anthine concentrations may be found at any time in the 10–120 min period.

It is suggested that the assay of cord plasma HX may add additional information to previously used hypoxia parameters and may be a more reliable index of perinatal asphyxia in the growth‐retarded infant, than lactate and pH at birth.

HMPG and particularly the HMPG/VMA ratio were significantly higher in the amniotic fluid of the growth-retarded fetuses than in the uncomplicated cases and no significant difference was found between the diabetic and uncomplication cases.

Brain‐typical CK‐isoenzyme (CK‐BB) could be detected in serum of 6 of 8 infants with perinatal brain damage by means of agar gel electrophoresis, and seemed to be a sure sign of severe CNS‐damage in newborns.

It is concluded that the level of plasma hypoxanthine in dogs during hypoxemia is dependent on the degree of tissue hypoxia, peripheral vasoregulation, and lung metabolism.

The results indicate that the hypoxanthine concentration is influenced not only by the degree of hypoxia, but also by the peripheral circulation and the time interval between the hypoxic event and the blood sampling.

It is concluded that the first, rate-limiting, step in the synthesis of the monoamine neurotransmittors dopamine, noradrenaline and 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HT) is affected during moderate as well as severe hypoxia at all stages of development.

It is suggested that enhanced release of catecholamines is required in SGA infants to maintain the glycemic homeostasis and the maturation of dopaminergic neurons occurs late in gestational age and is greatly dependent on nutritional factors.

A close correlation of the concentration of oxypurines and 2, 3-DPG in human with the oxygen pressure is suggested, suggesting that the levels of these metabolites may be indicative of tissue hypoxia.
