Abstract: Repeated acute intermittent hypoxia promotes the expression of growth factors and neurotrophic factors, as well as the key molecules for neural protection and plasticity. Hypoxic preconditioning may improve the survival rate of transplanted stem cells and protect the neural function. Meanwhile, acute intermittent hypoxia can be an approach to improve respiratory function after spinal cord injury. Hyperbaric oxygen may improve the neural tolerance to hypoxia and ischemia, to protect the structure of cells and tissues, and promote the neuranagenesis. It is important to study the role of hypoxic and hyperoxic preconditioning in spinal cord injury.

Key words: spinal cord injury, preconditioning, hypoxia, hyperoxia, vascular endothelial growth factor, hypoxia inducible factor-1, stem cells, review
