Abstract
Ketamine is the recommended analgesic on the battlefield for soldiers with hemorrhage, despite a lack of supportive evidence from laboratory or clinical studies. Hence, this study determined the effects of ketamine analgesia on cardiorespiratory responses and survival to moderate (37% blood volume; n = 8/group) or severe hemorrhage (50% blood volume; n = 10/group) after trauma in rats. We used a conscious hemorrhage model with extremity trauma (fibular fracture + soft tissue injury) while measuring mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and body temperature (Tb) by telemetry, and respiration rate (RR), minute volume (MV), and tidal volume (TV) via whole body plethysmography. Male rats received saline (S) or 5.0 mg/kg ketamine (K) (100 µL/100 g body wt) intra-arterially after trauma and hemorrhage. All rats survived 37% hemorrhage. For 50% hemorrhage, neither survival times [180 min (SD 78) vs. 209 min (SD 66)] nor percent survival (60% vs. 80%) differed between S- and K-treated rats. After 37% hemorrhage, K (compared with S) increased MAP and decreased Tb and MV. After 50% hemorrhage, K (compared with S) increased MAP but decreased HR and MV. K effects on cardiorespiratory function were time dependent, significant but modest, and transient at the analgesic dose given. K effects on Tb were also significant but modest and more prolonged. With the use of this rat model, our data support the use of K as an analgesic in injured, hypovolemic patients.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Ketamine administration at a dose shown to alleviate pain in nonhemorrhaged rats with extremity trauma had only modest and transient effects on multiple aspects of cardiorespiratory function after both moderate (37%) and severe (50%) traumatic hemorrhages. Such effects did not alter survival.

Abstract
The human body has a perfect thermoregulatory system to meet the needs of normal life activities. The central regulation of body temperature is mainly explained by the theory of "setting point (setpoint, SP)". Fever is a positive but nonspecific response of the body to infections and other pyrogens, which causes immune cells to release cytokines, leading to a brain protein-mediated rise in body temperature. Cytokines can be roughly divided into 2 categories: proinflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines. IL-1, TNF-α, and IL-6 are proinflammatory cytokines, whereas IL-4 and IL-10 are anti-inflammatory cytokines. IL-2 is a cytokine that can both activate and inhibit immunity. IL-8 is a neutrophil chemotactic factor, and IFN is a cytokine that plays a key role in the proper induction and maintenance of innate and acquired immunity. This article reviews the pathophysiological characteristics of fever and the cytokines related to fever (IL-2, 4, 6, 8, 10, IFN, TNF, etc.).

Neuroscience 2016; 322:464-78.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that the hypothalamus participates in the decompensatory phase of hemorrhage by measuring Fos immunoreactivity and by inhibiting neuronal activity in selected hypothalamic nuclei with lidocaine or cobalt chloride. Previously, we reported that inactivation of the arcuate nucleus inhibited, but did not fully prevent, the fall in arterial pressure evoked by hypotensive hemorrhage. Here, we report that hemorrhage (2.2 ml/100g body weight over 20 min) induced Fos expression in a high percentage of cells in the paraventricular, supraoptic and arcuate nuclei of the hypothalamus as shown previously. Lower densities of Fos immunoreactive cells were also found in the medial preoptic area (mPOA), anterior hypothalamus, lateral hypothalamus (LH), dorsomedial hypothalamus, ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) and posterior hypothalamus. Bilateral injection of lidocaine (2%; 0.1 μl or 0.3 μl) or cobalt chloride (5mM; 0.3 μl) into the tuberal portion of the LH immediately before hemorrhage was initiated reduced the magnitude of hemorrhagic hypotension and bradycardia significantly. Lidocaine injection into the VMH also attenuated the fall in arterial pressure and heart rate evoked by hemorrhage although inactivation of the mPOA or rostral LH was ineffective. These findings indicate that hemorrhage activates neurons throughout much of the hypothalamus and that a relatively broad area of the hypothalamus, extending from the arcuate nucleus laterally through the caudal VMH and tuberal LH, plays an important role in the decompensatory phase of hemorrhage.

Abstract
Reports on the trans-lamina terminalis and trans-third ventricular approach are rare. The risk associated with this approach is unknown. After an unsuccessful endovascular surgery, we performed direct surgical clipping via the third ventricle on a 78-year-old woman presenting with an extremely high-positioned, ruptured basilar tip aneurysm. She experienced transient hypothermia for 5 days, and it was considered that this was due to hypothalamic dysfunction. It is necessary to recognize that there is the potential for hypothermia after surgery via the lamina terminalis and third ventricle, even though the mechanisms of hypothalamic thermoregulation are still unclear.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The early repolarization (ER) pattern on ECG was originally described in the context of hypothermia. CASE SUMMARY We present the case of a 34-year-old male with cardiac arrest in the context of spontaneous hypothalamic mediated thermal dysregulation after intracranial hemorrhage. Ventricular fibrillation with a marked ER pattern recurred with therapeutic hypothermia. Spontaneous hypothermia due to hypothalamic dysregulation was observed to enhance the amplitude of the ER pattern and was contemporaneous with recurrent ventricular fibrillation during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Hypothermia is an important trigger of VF in the setting of early repolarization syndrome, and warrants assessment as an environmental trigger of spontaneous events.

Abstract
The mechanism responsible for the initiation of endotoxic hypotension is not fully understood, although it is often attributed to a direct effect of LPS and other vasoactive mediators on the vasculature. Alternatively, recent evidence raises the possibility that endotoxic hypotension may be initiated through a central mechanism. Previous studies have shown that LPS initiates fever, sickness behavior, and other aspects of the inflammatory response through a neural pathway that sends peripheral inflammatory signals to the preoptic anterior hypothalamic area (POA). It is also well known that the POA plays a role in the regulation of cardiovascular function, but its involvement in LPS-induced hypotension has not been examined previously. Therefore, the aim of the present paper was to investigate whether the initial abrupt fall in arterial pressure evoked by LPS in septic shock is mediated by the POA. LPS (1 mg/kg, i.v.) administration to halothane-anesthetized or conscious rats lowered arterial blood pressure by 24.8+/-2.9 and 25.1+/-5.8 mmHg, respectively. Bilateral lidocaine (2%; 1 microL) injection into the POA, but not the lateral hypothalamus, prevented the hypotension evoked by LPS entirely in both anesthetized and conscious animals. Remarkably, this blockade significantly inhibited the second, delayed fall in arterial pressure induced by LPS, and simultaneously decreased TNF-alpha plasma levels. Together, these data indicate that the initial phase of endotoxic hypotension is mediated by the POA and suggest that the initiation of the hypotensive response induced by LPS can be essential for the development of the late fall in blood pressure.

Abstract
The laryngeal chemoreflex (LCR), elicited by a drop of water in the larynx, is exaggerated by mild hyperthermia (body temperature = 40-41 degrees C) in neonatal piglets. We tested the hypothesis that thermal prolongation of the LCR results from heating the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), where laryngeal afferents first form synapses in the brain stem. Three- to 13-day-old piglets were decerebrated and vagotomized and studied without anesthesia while paralyzed and ventilated. Phrenic nerve activity and rectal temperature were recorded. A thermode was placed in the medulla, and the brain tissue temperature was recorded with a thermistor approximately 1 mm from the tip of the thermode. When the thermode was inserted into the brain stem, respiratory activity was arrested or greatly distorted in eight animals. However, the thermode was inserted in nine animals without disrupting respiratory activity, and in these animals, warming the medullary thermode (thermistor temperature = 40-41 degrees C) while holding rectal temperature constant reversibly exaggerated the LCR. The caudal raphé was warmed focally by approximately 2 degrees C in four additional animals; this did not alter the duration of the LCR in these animals. Thermodes placed in the NTS did not disrupt respiratory activity, but they did prolong the LCR when warmed. Thermodes that were placed deep to the NTS in the region of the nucleus ambiguus disrupted respiratory activity, which precluded any analysis of the LCR. We conclude that prolongation of the laryngeal chemoreflex by whole body hyperthermia originates from the elevation of brain tissue temperature within in the NTS.
