Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one major complication of open and endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Despite numerous neuroprotective adjuncts, the incidence of SCI remains high. This review article discusses established and novel adjuncts for spinal cord protection, including priming and preconditioning of the paraspinal collateral network, intraoperative systemic hypothermia, distal aortic perfusion, motor- and somatosensory evoked potentials and noninvasive cnNIRS monitoring as well as peri- and postoperative drainage of cerebrospinal fluid. Regardless of the positive influence of many of these strategies on neurologic outcome, to date no strategy assures definitive preservation of spinal cord integrity during and after aortic aneurysm repair.

Abstract
Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage is a technique that has significantly
reduced the incidence of spinal cord ischaemia (SCI). We present results of
a systematic review to assess the literature on this topic in relation to
thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair (TAAR). Methods Major medical databases were searched to identify papers related to CSF
biomarkers measured during TAAAR. Results Fifteen papers reported measurements of CSF biomarkers with 265 patients in
total. CSF biomarkers measured included S-100ß, neuron-specific
endolase (NSE), lactate, glial fibrillary acidic protein A (GFPa), Tau, heat
shock protein 70 and 27 (HSP70, HSP27), and proinflammatory cytokines.
Lactate and S-100ß were reported the most, but did not correlate with
SCI, which was also the case with NSE and TAU. GFPa showed significant CSF
level rises, both intra and postoperative in patients who suffered SCI and
warrants further investigation, similar results were seen with HSP70, HSP27
and IL-8. Conclusions Although there is significant interest in this topic, there still remains a
significant lack of high-quality studies investigating CSF biomarkers during
TAAR to detect SCI. A large and multicentre study is required to identify
the significant role of each biomarker.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary focus of this study was to investigate the effects of local profound hypothermia and to explore the possible mechanism in adult rats with spinal cord injury. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Spinal cord injury models were established by placing aneurysm clips on T10. An epidural perfusion device was applied to maintain a steady temperature (18 °C) for 120 min with gradual rewarming to 37 °C Total hypothermic duration lasted up to about 170 min. The expression of axon regeneration inhibitors was tested by Western blot and real-time PCR. Luxol Fast Blue (LFB) stain and Bielschowsky silver stain were used to observe spinal cord morphology. Motor function of the hind limbs (BBB score) was monitored for 21 days. RESULTS The expressions of RhoA, ROCK-II, NG2, Neurocan, Brevican, and Nogo-A were downregulated by regional hypothermia (RH) after spinal cord injury. Subsequent observation showed that rats that had received RH had an alleviated demyelinating condition and a greater number of nerve fibers. Furthermore, the RH group achieved higher BBB scores than the spinal cord injury (SCI) group. CONCLUSIONS Recovery of hind limb function in rats can be promoted by local profound hypothermia; this may be caused by the suppression of axon regeneration inhibitors.

Abstract
Both the therapeutic effects of regional hypothermia (RH) and somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEP) have been intensively studied; however, the in vivo relationship between the two remains unknown. The primary focus of the current study was to investigate the impact of RH on SSEP in uninjured rats, as well as the neural safety of RH on neuronal health. An epidural perfusion model was used to keep local temperature steady by adjusting perfusion speed at 30°C, 26°C, 22°C, and 18°C for 30 min, respectively. Total hypothermic duration lasted up to 3 h. Neural signals were recorded at the end of each hypothermic period, as well as before cooling and after spontaneous rewarming. In addition, the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) Locomotor Rating Scale was used to evaluate the effects of RH pre- and post-operative, combined with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Fluoro-Jade C (FJC) staining. The results showed a marked declining trend in SSEP amplitude, as well as a significant prolongation in latency only during profound hypothermia (18°C). The BBB scale remained consistent at 21 throughout the entire process, signifying that no motor function injury was caused by RH. In addition, H&E and FJC staining did not show obvious histological injury. These findings firmly support the conclusion that RH, specifically profound RH, inhibits spinal cord SSEP in both amplitude and latency without neural damage in uninjured rats.
