The contributions of transmembrane and transepithelial ion transfer processes and of nonbicarbonate buffering to the in vivo acid-base regulation have been evaluated. Model calculations were performed utilizing experimental data on transepithelial transfer of ions relevant for the acid-base regulation, the intracellular buffering properties of fish tissues, and the behavior of intracellular and extracellular pH and bicarbonate concentration with changes of temperature. The results of these studies indicate that the changes in the pK values of physiological nonbicarbonate buffers with changes in temperature support the adjustment of pH to lower values with rising temperature; however, transmembrane and transepithelial ion transfer mechanisms determine the acid-base regulation of intracellular and extracellular compartments.

Abstract Primary Subject area Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Background Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard of care for neonates with moderate to severe HIE. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice for confirmation of HIE, assessment of injury severity, and prognostication. Reliable, inexpensive and widely available laboratory measures for early identification of risk for neurological injury can play a critical role in the optimal management of neonatal HIE, especially in the resource-limited setting. Our study examined whether derangements in early routine laboratory measures (acid-base, haematological, metabolic) were worse in neonates with MRI findings of neurological injury. Objectives Primary objective: To evaluate the role of early laboratory measures in predicting neurological injury as detected by MRI at 72 hours. Secondary objective: To evaluate the role of early laboratory measures in predicting survival to NICU discharge in patients with HIE. Design/Methods This single-centre, retrospective cohort study included neonates ≥ 35 weeks gestation with moderate to severe HIE, who had undergone therapeutic hypothermia. Based on findings of brain MRI completed within 72 hours of life, our cohort was divided into 2 groups: neonates with, and without, evidence of neurological injury consistent with HIE. Baseline characteristics, as well as laboratory measures, were compared between groups, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to determine the cut-off for prediction of neurological injury based on the highest sensitivity and specificity values. Results 104 neonates were analyzed. Baseline characteristics (Table 1) were similar between both groups, except for cord venous pH and base excess (BE), which were significantly lower in the abnormal MRI group (p = 0.02). In bivariate analysis, pH (at 1 h of age, p = 0.027), BE (at 1 h, p = 0.001, and 6 h of age, p = 0.004), ionized calcium (at 6 h of age, p = 0.02), and platelets (at 1 h of age, p = 0.004) were significantly different in neonates with abnormal MRI. In ROC curve analysis, BE at 1 h of life was the best predictor of abnormal MRI (AUC = 0.71, p = 0.002), with a cut-off value of ≤ -14.95, sensitivity of 67% and specificity of 66% (Figure 1). Conclusion Among neonates with HIE undergoing TH, early laboratory measures such as acid-base status, ionized calcium, and platelet count were worse in neonates with abnormal MRI, in comparison to neonates with normal MRI. Base excess at 1 h of life is a good predictor of abnormal MRI. Future prospective studies to validate these findings are needed
