Development of empirical study on apoptosis and its radionuclide imaging in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage

Cell apoptosis plays a unique role in pathological mechanism of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Animal empirical studies indicate that radionuclide apoptosis imaging can detect neural apoptosis during HIBD, which predicts that it will have important applications in invasive diagnosis, therapy evaluation and prognosis estimation of neural cell apoptosis in the future.
