The technology of oxygen enrichment has proven effective to decrease the heart rate and improve the arterial oxygen saturation by reducing the equivalent altitude. However, the efficacy of oxygen enrichment on HAH-induced cognitive impairments remains controversial based on the results of neuropsychological tests, and its role in HAH-induced hippocampal morphological and molecular changes remains unknown. Therefore, this study aims to systematically investigate the effects of oxygen enrichment on the memory dysfunction and hippocampal neurodegeneration caused by HAH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats were equally assigned to three groups: normal control, HAH, and HAH with oxygen enrichment (HAHO). Rats in the HAH and HAHO groups were exposed to hypoxia for 3 days in a hypobaric hypoxia chamber at a simulated altitude of 6,000\u2009m. Rats in the HAHO group were supplemented with oxygen-enriched air, with 12 hours\/day in the hypobaric hypoxia chamber.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results showed that oxygen enrichment improved the locomotor activity of HAH-exposed rats. The Morris water maze test revealed that oxygen enrichment significantly ameliorated HAH-induced spatial memory deficits. Oxygen enrichment also improved morphological alterations of pyramidal cells and the ultrastructure of neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region in rats exposed to acute HAH. Tau hyperphosphorylation at Ser396, Ser262, Thr231, and Thr181 was also significantly attenuated by oxygen enrichment in HAH-exposed rats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Together, our study reveals that oxygen enrichment can ameliorate HAH-induced cognitive impairments associated with improved hippocampal morphology and molecular expression, and highlights that oxygen enrichment may become a promising alternative treatment against neurodegeneration for humans ascending to the plateau.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/ham.2020.0218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,4]],"date-time":"2021-08-04T18:37:53Z","timestamp":1628102273000},"page":"274-284","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Oxygen Enrichment Mitigates High-Altitude Hypoxia-Induced Hippocampal Neurodegeneration and Memory Dysfunction Associated with Attenuated Tau Phosphorylation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Cai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Diagnostics, College of Basic Medicine, Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine, Xianyang, China."},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junyong","family":"Ruan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Engineering Department, Qingdao Special Servicemen Recuperation Center of PLA Navy, Qingdao, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanjun","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kangning","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chi","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zedong","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erping","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8823-4124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Da","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jalz.2015.12.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004010100423"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-199316020-00003","article-title":"Effects of altitude on mood, behaviour and cognitive functioning.
