Effect of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (LF), and selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) on cortical oxygen pressure in newborn piglets. The results are means ± SD from six experiments for each group, except DHCA group (n = 8). ap < for significant difference from control values as determined by one-way analysis of variance, followed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Effect of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (LFCPB), and selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) on B-cell leukemia protein (Bcl-2) and (N-terminal of Bcl-2-associated X protein (N-Bax) in the striatum of newborn piglets. (A) Representative Western blots for protein samples from DHCA, LFCPB, SCP, and control groups probed with N-Bax or Bcl-2 antibodies. (B) The means ± SD for DHCA (n = 8), LFCPB (n = 6), and SCP (n = 6) experiments, expressed in percentages to the corresponding values obtained for the control group of piglets (n = 6). ap < 0.02; bp < 0.01 for significant difference from control values as determined by one-way analysis of variance, followed by Mann-Whitney test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

Effect of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (LFCPB), and selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) on total protein kinase B (Akt) and phosphorylated (pAkt) in the striatum of newborn piglets. (A) Representative Western blots for protein samples from DHCA, LFCPB, SCP, and control groups probed with antibodies against pAkt and total Akt. (B) The means ± SD for DHCA (n = 8), LFCPB (n = 6), SCP (n = 6) experiments are expressed in percentages to the corresponding values obtained for the control group of piglets (n = 6). ap < 0.05; bp < 0.01 for significant difference from control values as determined by one-way analysis of variance, followed by Mann-Whitney test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

Effect of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass (LFCPB), and selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) on total extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1/2) in the striatum of newborn piglets. (A) Representative Western blots for protein samples from DHCA, LFCPB, SCP, and control groups probed with antibodies against pERK1/2 and tERK1/2). (B) The means ± SD for DHCA (n = 8), LFCPB (n = 6), SCP (n = 6) experiments are expressed in percentages to the corresponding values obtained for the control group of piglets (n = 6). ap < 0.05; bp < 0.02; cp < 0.01 for significant difference from control values as determined by one-way analysis of variance, followed by Mann-Whitney test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
