ABSTRACT
Germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH) refers to bleeding that derives from the subependymal (or periventricular) germinal region of the premature brain. GMH can induce severe and irreversible damage attributing to the vulnerable structure of germinal matrix and deleterious circumstances. Molecular mechanisms remain obscure so far. In this review, we summarized the newest preclinical discoveries recent years about GMH to distill a deeper understanding of the neuropathology, and then discuss the potential diagnostic or therapeutic targets among these pathways. GMH studies mostly in recent 5 years were sorted out and the authors generalized the newest discoveries and ideas into four parts of this essay. Intrinsic fragile structure of preterm germinal matrix is the fundamental cause leading to GMH. Many molecules have been found effective in the pathophysiological courses. Some of these molecules like minocycline are suggested active to reduce the damage in animal GMH model. However, researchers are still trying to find efficient diagnostic methods and remedies that are available in preterm infants to rehabilitate or cure the sequent injury. Merits have been obtained in the last several years on molecular pathways of GMH, but more work is required to further unravel the whole pathophysiology.
