Abstract
Background The neuroprotective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing elective cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-assisted coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or valvular cardiac surgery remains unclear. Methods A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled superior clinical trial was conducted in patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery or valve surgery. Before anesthesia induction, patients were randomly assigned to RIPC (three 5-min cycles of inflation and deflation of blood pressure cuff on the upper limb) or the control group. The primary endpoint was the changes in S-100 calcium-binding protein β (S100-β) levels at 6 h postoperatively. Secondary endpoints included changes in Neuron-specific enolase (NSE), Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) levels. Results A total of 120 patients [mean age, 48.7 years; 36 women (34.3%)] were randomized at three cardiac surgery centers in China. One hundred and five patients were included in the modified intent-to-treat analysis (52 in the RIPC group and 53 in the control group). The primary result demonstrated that at 6 h after surgery, S100-β levels were lower in the RIPC group than in the control group (50.75; 95% confidence interval, 67.08 to 64.40 pg/ml vs. 70.48; 95% CI, 56.84 to 84.10 pg/ml, P = 0.036). Compared to the control group, the concentrations of S100-β at 24 h and 72 h and the concentration of NSE at 6 h, 24 h, and 72 h postoperatively were significantly lower in the RIPC group. However, neither the MMSE nor the MoCA revealed significant between-group differences in postoperative cognitive performance at 7 days, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. Conclusion In patients undergoing CPB-assisted cardiac surgery, RIPC attenuated brain damage as indicated with the decreased release of brain damage biomarker S100-β and NSE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Paraplegia is a devastating complication in aortic aneurysm surgery. Modifying the spinal cord vasculature is a promising method in spinal cord protection. The aim of this study was to assess whether the spinal cord can be primed by occluding thoracic segmental arteries before simulated aneurysm repair in a porcine model. METHODS Twelve piglets were randomly assigned to the priming group (6) and the control group (6). Eight uppermost thoracic segmental arteries were occluded at 5-minute intervals in the priming group before a 25-minute aortic crossclamp. In the control group, the aorta was crossclamped for 25 minutes. During the first 5 minutes, 8 segmental arteries were occluded. After the aortic crossclamping, piglets were observed under anesthesia for 5 hours and followed up 5 days postoperatively. Near-infrared spectroscopy, motor-evoked potentials, blood samples, neurology with the modified Tarlov score, and histopathology of the spinal cord were assessed. RESULTS The median Tarlov score during the first postoperative day was higher in the priming group than in the control group (P = .001). At the end, 50% of the control animals had paraplegia compared with 0% of paraplegia in the priming group. The mean regional histopathologic score differed between the priming group and the control group (P = .02). The priming group had higher motor-evoked potentials during the operation at separate time points. The lactate levels were lower in the priming group compared with the control group (Pg = .001, Pg×t = .18). CONCLUSIONS Acute priming protects the spinal cord from ischemic injury in an experimental aortic crossclamp model.

Remote ischemic postconditioning attenuates damage in rats with chronic cerebral ischemia by upregulating the autophagolysosome pathway via the activation of TFEB. Exp Mol Pathol 2020; 115:104475. [PMID: 32473154 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexmp.2020.104475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2019] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The transcription factor EB (TFEB) is known for its role in lysosomal biogenesis, and it coordinates this process by driving autophagy and lysosomal gene expression during ischemia. In the present study, we aimed to explore the role of the TFEB-regulated autophagolysosome pathway (ALP) in rats with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) that were treated with remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC). A modified 2-vessel occlusion (2-VO) method was utilized to establish the CCI rat model, and the CCI rats were identified by the Morris water maze test and histological staining. After the CCI rats were treated with RIPC, the damage to the rat cortex and hippocampal tissues and the status of the ALP were determined. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assays were performed to observe the nuclear translocation of TFEB. The rats were injected with TFEB siRNA via the lateral ventricle to investigate the effect of TFEB siRNA on the RIPC-treated CCI rats. The results suggested that RIPC of the CCI rats alleviated nerve injury, induced TFEB translocation into the nucleus, upregulated autophagy-related protein expression, and activated ALP machinery. Furthermore, TFEB siRNA decreased the levels of TFEB and impaired the neuroprotective effects of RIPC on the CCI rats. Collectively, we highlighted that RIPC attenuates damage in CCI rats via the activation of the TFEB-mediated ALP.

Abstract
Surgical repair of thoracic aorta can compromise blood flow of the spinal cord. To mitigate spinal cord ischemia (SCI) additional protection methods are needed. In experimental studies remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has proven to be an effective method of protecting organs from ischemia. The aim of the study was to assess efficacy of RIPC in spinal cord protection in a chronic porcine model. Sixteen piglets were assigned into the RIPC group (8) and the control group (8). RIPC was performed using blood pressure cuff in a 5-minute ischemia followed by a 5-minute reperfusion repeating cycles 4 times. The left subclavian artery and all segmental arteries above diaphragm were ligated at 5-minute intervals to accomplish SCI. The follow-up comprised a 4-hour intensive monitoring and a 7-day recovery phase. Blood samples were obtained, motor-evoked potentials and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of longitudinal back muscles were measured. Paraplegia was assessed every day postoperatively. Histopathological analysis of the spinal cord was performed after 7 days. NIRS values 4 hours after SCI were higher in the RIPC group, 45.5 (44.5-47.0), than in the control group, 41.5 (40.5-44.0) (P = 0.042). Nadir value of NIRS was 43.4 (39.3-46.0) in the RIPC group and 38.9 (38.-40.0) in the control group (P = 0.014). On the first postoperative day the RIPC group reached modified Tarlov score of 3 (2-3) vs 2 (1-2) in the control group (P = 0.024). RIPC hastens the recovery from SCI during the first postoperative day.

Abstract
We hypothesized that pGz has cardio and neuroprotective effects due to upregulation of pathways which include eNOS, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory pathways. We analyze protein expression of these pathways in the brain of neonatal piglets, as well as report on the myocardial function after Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest (DHCA) and pGz preconditioning. Animal data affirms both a cardio and neuroprotective role for pGz. These findings suggest that pGz can be a simple, non-invasive cardio and neuroprotective strategy preconditioning strategy in children requiring surgical intervention.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (SIAS) is very common in octo- and nonagenarians, especially in the Chinese population, and is likely the most common cause of stroke recurrence worldwide. Clinical trials demonstrate that endovascular treatment, such as stenting, may not be suitable for octogenarians with systemic diseases. Hence, less invasive methods for the octogenarian patients are urgently needed. Our previous study (unique identifier: NCT01321749) showed that repetitive bilateral arm ischemic preconditioning (BAIPC) reduced the incidence of stroke recurrence by improving cerebral perfusion (confirmed by single photon emission computed tomography and transcranial Doppler sonography) in patients younger than 80 years of age; however, the safety and effectiveness of BAIPC on stroke prevention in octo- and nonagenarians with SIAS are still unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BAIPC in reducing stroke recurrence in octo- and nonagenarian patients with SIAS. Fifty-eight patients with SIAS were enrolled in this randomized controlled prospective study for 180 consecutive days. All patients enrolled in the study received standard medical management. Patients in the BAIPC group (n = 30) underwent 5 cycles consisting of bilateral arm ischemia followed by reperfusion for 5 min each twice daily. Those in the control group (n = 28) underwent sham-BAIPC twice daily. Blood pressure, heart rate, local skin status, plasma myoglobin, and plasma levels of thrombotic and inflammatory markers were documented in both groups before beginning the study and for the first 30 days. Finally, the incidences of stroke recurrence and magnetic resonance imaging during the 180 days of treatment were compared. Compared with the control, BAIPC had no adverse effects on blood pressure, heart rate, local skin integrity, or plasma myoglobin, and did not induce cerebral hemorrhage in the studied cohort. BAIPC reduced plasma high sensitive C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, leukocyte count, and platelet aggregation rate and elevated plasma tissue plasminogen activator (all p < 0.01). In 180 days, 2 infarctions and 7 transient ischemic attacks were observed in the BAIPC group compared with 8 infarctions and 11 transient ischemic attacks in the sham BAIPC group (p < 0.05). BAIPC may safely inhibit stroke recurrence, protect against brain ischemia, and ameliorate plasma biomarkers of inflammation and coagulation in octo- and nonagenarians with SIAS. A multicenter trial is ongoing. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION www.clinicaltrials.gov, unique identifier: NCT01570231.

Abstract
The adaptive response (conditioning) to environmental stressors evokes evolutionarily conserved programs in uni- and multicellular organisms that result in increased fitness and resistance to stressor induced injury. Although the concept of conditioning has been around for a while, its translation into clinical therapies targeting neurovascular diseases has only recently begun. The slow pace of clinical adoption might be partially explained by our poor understanding of underpinning mechanisms and of the complex responses of the organism to the stressor. At the 2(nd) Translational Preconditioning Meeting participants engaged in an intense discussion addressing whether the time has come to more aggressively implement clinical conditioning protocols in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases or whether it would be better to wait until preclinical data would help to minimize clinical empiricism. This review addresses the complex involvement of biological networks in establishing ischemic tolerance at the organism level using two clinically promising conditioning modalities, namely remote ischemic preconditioning, and per- or post-conditioning, as examples.

Abstract
Preconditioning is a phenomenon in which brief episodes of a sublethal insult induce robust protection against subsequent lethal injuries. Preconditioning has been observed in multiple organisms and can occur in the brain as well as other tissues. Extensive animal studies suggest that the brain can be preconditioned to resist acute injuries, such as ischemic stroke, neonatal hypoxia/ischemia, surgical brain injury, trauma, and agents that are used in models of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Effective preconditioning stimuli are numerous and diverse, ranging from transient ischemia, hypoxia, hyperbaric oxygen, hypothermia and hyperthermia, to exposure to neurotoxins and pharmacological agents. The phenomenon of "cross-tolerance," in which a sublethal stress protects against a different type of injury, suggests that different preconditioning stimuli may confer protection against a wide range of injuries. Research conducted over the past few decades indicates that brain preconditioning is complex, involving multiple effectors such as metabolic inhibition, activation of extra- and intracellular defense mechanisms, a shift in the neuronal excitatory/inhibitory balance, and reduction in inflammatory sequelae. An improved understanding of brain preconditioning should help us identify innovative therapeutic strategies that prevent or at least reduce neuronal damage in susceptible patients. In this review, we focus on the experimental evidence of preconditioning in the brain and systematically survey the models used to develop paradigms for neuroprotection, and then discuss the clinical potential of brain preconditioning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Remote ischaemic preconditioning and its neuroprotective abilities are currently under investigation and the method has shown significant effects in several small and large animal studies. In our previous studies, leucocyte filtration during cardiopulmonary bypass reduced cerebrocortical adherent leucocyte count and mitigated cerebral damage after hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) in piglets. This study aimed to obtain and assess direct visual data of leucocyte behaviour in cerebral vessels after hypothermic circulatory arrest following remote ischaemic preconditioning. METHODS Twelve native stock piglets were randomized into a remote ischaemic preconditioning group (n = 6) and a control group (n = 6). The intervention group underwent hind-leg ischaemia, whereas the control group received a sham-treatment before a 60-min period of hypothermic circulatory arrest. An intravital microscope was used to obtain measurements from the cerebrocortical vessel in vivo. It included three sets of filters: a violet filter to visualize microvascular perfusion and vessel diameter, a green filter for visualization of rhodamine-labelled leucocytes and an ultraviolet filter for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) analysis. The final magnification on the microscope was 400. After the experiment, cerebral and cerebellar biopsies were collected and analysed with transmission electron microscope by a blinded analyst. RESULTS In the transmission electron microscope analysis, the entire intervention group had normal, unaffected rough endoplasmic reticulum's in their cerebellar tissue, whereas the control group had a mean score of 1.06 (standard deviation 0.41) (P = 0.026). The measured amount of adherent leucocytes was lower in the remote ischaemic preconditioning group. The difference was statistically significant at 5, 15 and 45 min after circulatory arrest. Statistically significant differences were seen also in the recovery phase at 90 and 120 min after reperfusion. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide autofluorescence had statistically significant differences at 10 min after cooling and at 120 and 180 min after hypothermic circulatory arrest. CONCLUSIONS Remote ischaemic preconditioning seems to provide better mitochondrial respiratory chain function as indicated by the higher NADH content. It simultaneously provides a reduction of adherent leucocytes in cerebral vessels after hypothermic circulatory arrest. Additionally, it might provide some degree of cellular organ preservation as implied by the electron microscopy results.

Abstract
Organ or tissue dysfunction due to acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Acute IRI induces cell injury and death in a wide variety of organs and tissues in a large number of different clinical settings. One novel therapeutic noninvasive intervention, capable of conferring multiorgan protection against acute IRI, is 'remote ischemic conditioning' (RIC). This describes an endogenous protective response to acute IRI, which is triggered by the application of one or more brief cycles of nonlethal ischemia and reperfusion to one particular organ or tissue. Originally discovered as a therapeutic strategy for protecting the myocardium against acute IRI, it has been subsequently demonstrated that RIC may confer protection against acute IRI in a number of different noncardiac organs and tissues including the kidneys, lungs, liver, skin flaps, ovaries, intestine, stomach and pancreas. The discovery that RIC can be induced noninvasively by applying the RIC stimulus to the skeletal tissue of the upper or lower limb has facilitated its application to a number of clinical settings in which organs and tissues are at high risk of acute IRI. In this article, we review the experimental studies that have investigated RIC in organs and tissues other than the heart, and we explore the therapeutic potential of RIC in preventing organ and tissue dysfunction induced by acute IRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a form of endogenous neuroprotection induced by transient, subcritical ischemia in a distant tissue. RIPC effects on cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism have not been explored in humans. This study evaluates hemodynamic and metabolic changes induced by RIPC in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS Patients underwent three or four RIPC sessions 2-12 days following SAH. Continuous vitals, intracranial pressure (ICP), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) data were collected. Brain microdialysis metabolic changes were monitored. ICP and TCD morphological clustering and analysis of intracranial pulse (MOCAIP) metrics were compared to positive and negative control groups for cerebral vasodilation. RESULTS Seven ICP and six TCD recordings from four patients demonstrated an increase in mean ICP (8-14.57 mmHg, p < 0.05). There was a reduction in middle cerebral artery (MCA) mean velocities (111-87 cm/s, p = 0.039). ICP and TCD MOCAIP metrics demonstrated variances consistent with vasodilation that returned to baseline following the RIPC. Over the duration of the RIPC, microdialysis showed reduction in the lactate/pyruvate (L/P) ratio (42.37-33.77, p = 0.005) and glycerol (174.04-126 μg/l, p < 0.005), which persisted for 25-54 h after the last RIPC. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated cerebrovascular effects induced by RIPC consistent with transient vasodilation. Cerebral metabolic effects suggest protection from ischemia and cell membrane preservation lasting up to 2 days following RIPC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a mechanism protecting tissues from injury during ischemia and reperfusion. Remote IPC (RIPC) can be elicited by applying brief periods of ischemia to tissues with ischemic tolerance, thus protecting vital organs more susceptible to ischemic damage. Using a porcine model, we determined whether RIPC of the limb is protective against brain injury caused by hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA). METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve piglets were randomized to control and RIPC groups. RIPC was induced in advance of cardiopulmonary bypass by 4 cycles of 5 minutes of ischemia of the hind limb. All animals underwent cardiopulmonary bypass followed by 60 minutes of HCA at 18°C. Brain metabolism and electroencephalographic activity were monitored for 8 hours after HCA. Assessment of neurological status was performed for a week postoperatively. Finally, brain tissue was harvested for histopathological analysis. Study groups were balanced for baseline and intraoperative parameters. Brain lactate concentration was significantly lower (P<0.0001, ANOVA) and recovery of electroencephalographic activity faster (P<0.05, ANOVA) in the RIPC group. RIPC had a beneficial effect on neurological function during the 7-day follow-up (behavioral score; P<0.0001 versus control, ANOVA). Histopathological analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in cerebral injury in RIPC animals (injury score; mean [interquartile range]: control 5.8 [3.8 to 7.5] versus RIPC 1.5 [0.5 to 2.5], P<0.001, t test). CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that RIPC protects the brain against HCA-induced injury, resulting in accelerated recovery of neurological function. RIPC might be neuroprotective in patients undergoing surgery with HCA and improve long-term outcomes. Clinical trials to test this hypothesis are warranted.
