title: [Cerebrolysin alleviates perinatal CNS disorders through the autoimmune modulation and antioxidant protection].
abstract: We investigated the effects of the neuroprotective drug cerebrolysin on the autoimmune parameters (FasL, Fas and metallotionein-1) in 20 newborns with perinatal ischemic CNS damage and 20 healthy newborns. The treatment with cerebrolysin in dosage of 0,1 ml per 1 kg of body mass, 10 injections every other day, resulted in the normalization (p<0,001) of the T-lymphocyte apoptosis (the increase of Fas and decrease of FasL) and activation of antioxidant protection through the increase of metallotionein-1 expression. The normalization of the autoimmunity was found to reduce edema and improve the circulation of the brain sites affected with ischemia.
