Abstract
Neuroinflammation initiated by damage-associated molecular patterns, including high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), has been implicated in adverse neurological outcomes following lethal hemorrhagic shock and polytrauma. Emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR) is a novel method of resuscitation for victims of exsanguinating cardiac arrest, shown in preclinical studies to improve survival with acceptable neurological recovery. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), the primary mitochondrial deacetylase, has emerged as a key regulator of metabolic and energy stress response pathways in the brain and a pharmacological target to induce a neuronal pro-survival phenotype. This study aims to examine whether systemic administration of an Annexin-A1 bioactive peptide (ANXA1sp) could resolve neuroinflammation and induce sirtuin-3 regulated cytoprotective pathways in a novel rat model of exsanguinating cardiac arrest and EPR. Adult male rats underwent hemorrhagic shock and ventricular fibrillation, induction of profound hypothermia, followed by resuscitation and rewarming using cardiopulmonary bypass (EPR). Animals randomly received ANXA1sp (3 mg/kg, in divided doses) or vehicle. Neuroinflammation (HMGB1, TNFα, IL-6, and IL-10 levels), cerebral cell death (TUNEL, caspase-3, pro and antiapoptotic protein levels), and neurologic scores were assessed to evaluate the inflammation resolving effects of ANXA1sp following EPR. Furthermore, western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry were used to interrogate the mechanisms involved. Compared to vehicle controls, ANXA1sp effectively reduced expression of cerebral HMGB1, IL-6, and TNFα and increased IL-10 expression, which were associated with improved neurological scores. ANXA1sp reversed EPR-induced increases in expression of proapoptotic protein Bax and reduction in antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, with a corresponding decrease in cerebral levels of cleaved caspase-3. Furthermore, ANXA1sp induced autophagic flux (increased LC3II and reduced p62 expression) in the brain. Mechanistically, these findings were accompanied by upregulation of the mitochondrial protein deacetylase Sirtuin-3, and its downstream targets FOXO3a and MnSOD in ANXA1sp-treated animals. Our data provide new evidence that engaging pro-resolving pharmacological strategies such as Annexin-A1 biomimetic peptides can effectively attenuate neuroinflammation and enhance the neuroprotective effects of EPR after exsanguinating cardiac arrest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who suffer a cardiac arrest from trauma rarely survive, even with aggressive resuscitation attempts, including an emergency department thoracotomy. Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation (EPR) was developed to utilize hypothermia to buy time to obtain hemostasis before irreversible organ damage occurs. Large animal studies have demonstrated that cooling to tympanic membrane temperature 10°C during exsanguination cardiac arrest can allow up to 2 hours of circulatory arrest and repair of simulated injuries with normal neurologic recovery. STUDY DESIGN The Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest from Trauma trial has been developed to test the feasibility and safety of initiating EPR. Select surgeons will be trained in the EPR technique. If a trained surgeon is available, the subject will undergo EPR. If not, the subject will be followed as a control subject. For this feasibility study, 10 EPR and 10 control subjects will be enrolled. STUDY PARTICIPANTS Study participants will be those with penetrating trauma who remain pulseless despite an emergency department thoracotomy. INTERVENTIONS Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation will be initiated via an intra-aortic flush of a large volume of ice-cold saline solution. Following surgical hemostasis, delayed resuscitation will be accomplished with cardiopulmonary bypass. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome will be survival to hospital discharge without significant neurologic deficits. Secondary outcomes include long-term survival and functional outcome. IMPLICATIONS Once data from these 20 subjects are reviewed, revisions to the inclusion criteria and/or the EPR technique may then be tested in a second set of EPR and control subjects.

[PMID: 28573043 PMCID: PMC5450360 DOI: 10.1186/s40779-017-0127-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2016] [Accepted: 05/23/2017] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The successful treatment of military combat casualties with penetrating injuries is significantly dependent on the time needed to get the patient to an adequate treatment facility. Profound hypothermia-induced suspended animation for delayed resuscitation (SADR) is a novel approach for inducing cardiac arrest and buying additional time for such injuries. However, the time used to safely administer circulatory arrest (CA) is controversial. The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety of hypothermia-induced SADR over 90 and 120 min time intervals. METHODS Sixteen male BAMA minipigs were randomized into two groups: CA90 group (90 min, n = 8) and CA120 group (120 min, n = 8). Cannulation of the right common carotid arteries and internal jugular veins was performed to establish cardiopulmonary bypass for each animal. Through the perfusion of cold organ preservation solution (OPS), cardioplegia and profound hypothermia (15 °C) were induced. After CA, cardiopumonary bypass (CPB) was restarted, and the animals were gradually re-warmed and resuscitated. The animals were assisted with ventilators until spontaneous breathing was achieved. The index of hemodynamic perioperative serum chemistry values [alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CR), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and troponin T (TnT)] and survival were observed from pre-operation to 7 days post-operation. RESULTS Fifteen animals were enrolled in the experiment, while 1 animal in CA120 group died from surgical error. All 8 animals in CA90 group recovered, with only 1 animal displaying mild disability. However, in CA120 group, only 2 animals survived with severe disability, and the other 5 animals died after 2 days post-operation. In CA90 group, the perioperative serum chemistry values increased at 1 day post-operation (ALT 84.43 ± 18.65 U/L; AST 88.99 ± 23.19 U/L; Cr 87.90 ± 24.49 μmol/L; LDH 1894.13 ± 322.26 U/L; TnT 0.849 ± 0.135 ng/ml) but decreased to normal or almost normal levels at 7 days post-operation (ALT 52.48 ± 9.04 U/L; AST 75.23 ± 21.46 U/L; Cr 82.69 ± 18.41 μmol/L; LDH 944.67 ± 834.32 U/L; TnT 0.336 ± 0.076 ng/ml). CONCLUSIONS Profound hypothermia-induced SADR is an effective method for inducing cardiac arrest. Our results indicate that inducing CA for 90 min (at 15 °C) is safer than doing so for 120 min. Our results indicate that 120 min of CA at 15 °C is dangerous and can result in high mortality and severe neurological complications. Further experimentation is needed to determine whether 120 min of CA at temperatures lower than 15 °C can lead to safe recovery.

Abstract
Anapyrexia is the regulated decrease in body temperature during acute exposure to hypoxia. This study examined resting rectal temperature (Trec) in adult humans during acute normobaric hypoxia (NH). Ten subjects breathed air consisting of 21% (NN), 14% (NH14), and 12% oxygen (NH12) for 30 min each in thermoneutral conditions while Trec and blood oxygen saturation (Spo2) were measured. Linear regression indicated that Spo2 was progressively lower in NH14 (p=0.0001) and NH12 (p=0.0001) compared to NN, and that Spo2 in NH14 was different than NH12 (p=0.00001). Trec was progressively lower during NH14 (p=0.014) and in NH12 (p=0.0001) compared to NN. The difference in Trec between NH14 and NH12 was also significant (p=0.0287). Spo2 was a significant predictor of Trec such that for every 1% decrease in Spo2, Trec decreased by 0.15°C (p=0.0001). The present study confirmed that, similar to many other species, human adults respond to acute hypoxia exposure by lowering rectal temperature.

Development of a novel neuroprotective strategy: combined treatment with hypothermia and valproic acid improves survival in hypoxic hippocampal cells. Surgery 2014; 156:221-8. [PMID: 24950983 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2014.03.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2014] [Accepted: 03/20/2014] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia and histone deacetylase inhibitors, such as valproic acid (VPA), independently have been shown to have neuroprotective properties in models of cerebral ischemic and traumatic brain injury. However, the depth of hypothermia and the dose of VPA needed to achieve the desired result are logistically challenging. It remains unknown whether these two promising strategies can be combined to yield synergistic results. We designed an experiment to answer this question by subjecting hippocampal-derived HT22 cells to severe hypoxia in vitro. METHODS Mouse hippocampal HT22 cells were exposed to 200 μM cobalt chloride (CoCl(2)), which created hypoxic conditions in vitro. Cells were incubated for 6 or 30 hours under the following conditions: (1) Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium; (2) 200 μM CoCl(2); (3) 200 μM CoCl(2) plus 1 mmol/L VPA; (4) 200 μM CoCl(2) plus 32°C hypothermia; and (5) 200 μM CoCl(2) plus both 1 mmol/L VPA and 32°C hypothermia. Cellular viability was evaluated by (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) and lactate dehydrogenase release assays at 30 hours after treatment. Levels of acetylated histone H3, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, phospho-GSK-3β, β-catenin, and high-mobility group box-1 were measured by Western blotting. RESULTS High levels of acetylated histone H3 were detected in the VPA-treated cells. The release of lactate dehydrogenase was greatly suppressed after the combined hypothermia + VPA treatment (0.269 ± 0.003) versus VPA (0.836 ± 0.026) or hypothermia (0.451 ± 0.005) treatments alone (n = 3, P = .0001). (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay showed that the number of viable cells was increased by 17.6 % when VPA and hypothermia were used in combination (n = 5, P = .0001). Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and phospho-GSK-3β expression were synergistically affected by the combination treatment, whereas high-mobility group box-1 was increased by VPA treatment, and inhibited by the hypothermia. CONCLUSION This is the first study to demonstrate that the neuroprotective effects of VPA and hypothermia are synergistic. This novel approach can be used to develop more effective therapies for the prevention of neuronal death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia has been proposed to be beneficial in an array of human pathologies including cardiac arrest, stroke, traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, and hemorrhagic shock. Burn depth progression is multifactorial but inflammation plays a large role. Because hypothermia is known to reduce inflammation, we hypothesized that moderate hypothermia will decrease burn depth progression. METHODS We used a second-degree 15% total body surface area thermal injury model in rats. Burn depth was assessed by histology of biopsy sections. Moderate hypothermia in the range of 31-33°C was applied for 4h immediately after burn and in a delayed fashion, starting 2h after burn. In order to gain insight into the beneficial effects of hypothermia, we analyzed global gene expression in the burned skin. RESULTS Immediate hypothermia decreased burn depth progression at 6h post injury, and this protective effect was sustained for at least 24h. Burn depth was 18% lower in rats subjected to immediate hypothermia compared to control rats at both 6 and 24h post injury. Rats in the delayed hypothermia group did not show any significant decrease in burn depth at 6h, but had 23% lower burn depth than controls at 24h. Increased expression of several skin-protective genes such as CCL4, CCL6 and CXCL13 and decreased expression of tissue remodeling genes such as matrix metalloprotease-9 were discovered in the skin biopsy samples of rats subjected to immediate hypothermia. CONCLUSIONS Systemic hypothermia decreases burn depth progression in a rodent model and up-regulation of skin-protective genes and down-regulation of detrimental tissue remodeling genes by hypothermia may contribute to its beneficial effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermia is commonly used for organ and tissue preservation in multiple clinical settings, but its role in the management of injured patients remains controversial. There is no doubt that temperature modulation is a powerful tool, and hypothermia has been shown to protect cells during ischaemia and reperfusion, decrease organ damage and improve survival. Yet hypothermia is a double-edged sword: unless carefully managed, its induction can be associated with a number of complications. METHODS A literature review was performed to include important papers that address the impact of hypothermia on key biological processes, and explore the potential therapeutic role of hypothermia in trauma/haemorrhage models. RESULTS No clinical studies have been conducted to test the therapeutic benefits of hypothermia in injured patients. However, numerous well designed animal studies support this concept. Despite excellent preclinical data, there are several potential barriers to translating hypothermia into clinical practice. CONCLUSION Therapeutic hypothermia is a promising life-saving strategy. Appropriate patient selection requires a thorough understanding of how temperature modulation affects various biological mechanisms.

Abstract
The protective effects of selected anesthetic regimens on sarin (GB) were investigated in domestic swine. At 30% oxygen, the toxicity of this agent in isoflurane anesthetized animals (LD(50)=10.1μg/kg) was similar to literature sited values in awake swine (LD(50)=11.8μg/kg) and slightly higher than that of both ketamine (LD(50)=15.6μg/kg) and propofol (LD(50)=15.3μg/kg) anesthetized swine. Use of 100% oxygen in ketamine anesthetized animals resulted in three-fold protective effects compared to 30% oxygen. Use of 100% oxygen in both isoflurane and propofol anesthetized animals, compared to 30% resulted in profound protection against GB poisoning (>33×). There were no differences in the severity of the poisoning or recovery time in animals treated over dose ranges of 10-350μg/kg (isoflurane) or 15-500μg/kg GB (propofol). Survivors of high GB challenges that were revived from propofol anesthetic exhibited no signs of cognitive impairment seven days later. Protective treatments did not attenuate cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition; survivors of otherwise supralethal GB concentrations exhibited very low blood ChE activities. This work indicates that propofol has protective effects against GB, and that oxygen tension may have an important role in treating nerve agent casualties. More importantly, it demonstrates that non-cholinergic protective mechanisms exist that may be exploited in the future development of medical countermeasures against organophosphorous nerve agents.

Abstract
Shock, regardless of etiology is characterized by decreased delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and our interventions are directed towards reversing the cellular ischemia and preventing its consequences. The treatment strategies that are most effective in achieving this goal obviously depend upon the different types of shock (hemorrhagic, septic, neurogenic and cardiogenic). This brief review focuses on the two leading etiologies of shock in the surgical patients: bleeding and sepsis, and addresses a number of new developments that have profoundly altered the treatment paradigms. The emphasis here is on new research that has dramatically altered our treatment strategies rather than the basic pathophysiology of shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whole body periodic acceleration (pGz), the repetitive, head-foot sinusoidal motion of the body, increases pulsatile shear stress on the vascular endothelium producing increased release of endothelial derived nitric oxide (eNO) into circulation. Based upon prior CPR investigations, we hypothesized that pGz instituted prior to and during hemorrhagic shock (HS) should improve survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen anesthetized male pigs, 23 ± 5 kg, were randomized to receive 1 h pGz or no pGz (CONT) prior to and during severe controlled graded HS up to 2-1/2 h. HS was induced by removing blood at 10 mL/kg increments from the circulation at 30-min intervals up to a maximum blood loss of 50 mL/kg. Thirty minutes after maximum blood loss, shed blood and lactated Ringers solution was infused intravenously. RESULTS All animals survived up to 30 mL/kg blood loss. Survival and return to normal blood pressure to 120 min was achieved in 50% of animals receiving pGz compared with none in CONT. Cardiac output, blood pressure, and oxygen delivery decreased equally in both groups but oxygen consumption was significantly lower with pGz than CONT during all hemorrhage time points. Regional blood flow (RBF) was preserved in brain, heart, kidneys, ileum, and stomach in both groups up to 40 mL/kg of blood loss. After 40 mL/kg blood loss, RBF was much better preserved in pGz than CONT. CONCLUSIONS pGz applied 1 h prior to and during severe graded hemorrhagic shock delays onset of irreversible shock, enabling potential restoration of blood loss and survival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We have previously demonstrated that induction of profound hypothermia improves long-term survival in animal models of complex injuries/lethal hemorrhage. However, the precise mechanisms have not been well defined. The aim of this high-throughput study was to investigate the impact of profound hypothermia on gene expression profiles. METHODS Wistar-Kyoto rats underwent 40% blood volume arterial hemorrhage over 10 minutes and were randomized into two groups based on core body temperatures (n = 7 per group): hypothermia (H, 15 degrees C) and normothermia (N, 37 degrees C). Hypothermia was induced by infusing cold isotonic solution using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) setup. After reaching target body temperature, low-flow state (CPB flow rate of 20 mL x kg x min) was maintained for 60 minutes. Hypothermic rats were rewarmed to baseline temperature, and all rats were resuscitated on CPB and monitored for 3 hours. The N group underwent identical CPB management. Sham rats (no hemorrhage and no instrumentation) were used as controls. Blood samples were collected serially, and hepatic tissues were harvested after 3 hours. Affymatrix Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array (27,342 genes, >700,000 probes) was used to determine gene expression profiles (n = 3 per group), which were further analyzed using GeneSpring (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) and GenePattern (Broad Institute, Cambridge, MA) programs. Data were further queried using network analysis tools including Gene Ontology, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (Ingenuity Systems). Key findings were verified using real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blots. RESULTS Induction of hypothermia significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the magnitude of lactic acidosis and increased the survival rates (100% vs. 0% in normothermia group). Five hundred seventy-one of 23,000 genes had altered expression in response to the induction of hypothermia: 382 were up-regulated and 187 were down-regulated. Twelve key pathways were specifically modulated by hypothermia. Interleukin-6, interleukin-10, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells, glucocorticoids, and other signaling pathways involved with acute phase reactants were up-regulated. Multiple metabolic pathways were down- regulated. The largest change was in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma gene that codes for a transcriptional coactivator, which in turn controls mitochondrial biogenesis, glycerolipid, and other metabolic pathways in the liver. Apoptotic cell death cascades were activated in response to blood loss (H and N groups), but multiple specific anti-apoptotic genes (baculoviral Inhibitor of apoptosis protein repeat-containing 3, BCL3L1, NFKB2) displayed an increased expression specifically in the hypothermia treated animals, suggesting an overall pro-survival phenotype. CONCLUSIONS Profound hypothermia increases survival in a rodent model of hemorrhagic shock. In addition to decreasing tissue oxygen consumption, induction of hypothermia directly alters the expression profiles of key genes, with an overall up-regulation of pro-survival pathways and a down- regulation of metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Induction of hypothermia with the goal of providing therapeutic benefit has been accepted for use in the clinical setting of adult cardiac arrest and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). However, its potential as a treatment in trauma is not as well defined. This review discusses potential benefits and complications of induced hypothermia (IH) with emphasis on the current state of knowledge and practice in various types of trauma. There is excellent preclinical research showing that in cases of penetrating trauma with cardiac arrest, inducing hypothermia to 10 degrees C using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) could possibly save those otherwise likely to die without causing neurologic sequelae. A human trial of this intervention is about to get underway. Preclinical studies suggest that inducing hypothermia may be useful to delay cardiac arrest in penetrating trauma victims who are hypotensive. There is potential for IH to be used in cases of blunt trauma, but it has not been well studied. In the case of traumatic brain injury (TBI), clinical trials have shown conflicting results, despite almost uniform efficacy seen in preclinical experiments. Major studies are analyzed and ways to standardize its use and optimize future clinical trials are discussed. More preclinical and clinical research is needed to better define whether there could be a role for IH in the case of spinal cord injuries.

Abstract
Exsanguinating hemorrhage is a common clinical feature of multisystem trauma that results in death or severe disability. Cardiovascular collapse resulting from hemorrhage is unresponsive to conventional methods of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Even when bleeding is controlled rapidly, adequate circulation cannot be restored in time to avoid neurologic consequences that appear after only 5 mins of cerebral ischemia and hypoperfusion. Reperfusion adds further insult to injury. A novel solution to this problem would be to institute a therapy that makes cells and organs more resistant to ischemic injury, thereby extending the time they can tolerate such an insult. Hypothermia can attenuate some effects of ischemia and reperfusion. Accumulating preclinical data demonstrate that hypothermia can be induced safely and rapidly to achieve emergency preservation for resuscitation during lethal hemorrhage. Hypothermia may be an effective therapeutic approach for otherwise lethal traumatic hemorrhage, and a clinical trial to determine its utility is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermia increases the tolerable ischemia time for myocardium in hemorrhagic shock, but precise mechanisms are not clearly established. Here we studied activation of Akt cell survival pathway in a rodent model of emergency preservation and delayed resuscitation. STUDY DESIGN Wistar-Kyoto rats underwent 40% blood volume arterial hemorrhage during 10 minutes and were randomized into 2 groups based on core body temperatures (n = 7/group): hypothermia (15 degrees C) and normothermia (37 degrees C). Hypothermia was induced by infusing cold isotonic solution using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) setup. After reaching target body temperature, low-flow state (CPB flow rate of 20 mL/kg/min) was maintained for 60 minutes. Hypothermic rats were rewarmed to baseline temperature; all rats were resuscitated on CPB and monitored for 3 hours. The normothermia group underwent identical CPB management. Sham rats (no hemorrhage, no instrumentation) were used as controls (n = 7). Tissues were harvested at the end of experiment. RESULTS Induction of hypothermia increased survival rates (100% versus 0% in normothermia group). Western blot analysis of cardiac tissue revealed increased levels of phospho-Akt (active) in hypothermia and sham groups compared with the normothermia group (p < 0.05). Among downstream targets of Akt, phospho-GSK-3beta (inactive), phospho-Bad (inactive), beta-catenin, and Bcl-2 were considerably elevated in the hypothermia group compared with the normothermia group. Hypothermia also showed decreased activity of caspase-3 protein compared with normothermia (p < 0.05), suggesting decreased apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS Profound hypothermia increases survival in a rodent model of hemorrhagic shock and prolonged low-flow state. Hypothermia preserves Akt signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes with a concurrent decrease in cardiac apoptosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The fibrin-derived peptide Bbeta15-42 (also called FX06) has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size following ischemia/reperfusion. Hemorrhagic shock (HS) followed by volume resuscitation represents a similar scenario, whereby a whole organism is vulnerable to reperfusion injury. DESIGN We subjected male farm-bred landrace pigs ( approximately 30 kg) to HS by withdrawing blood to a mean arterial pressure of 40 mm Hg for 60 minutes. Pigs were then resuscitated with shed blood and crystalloids for 60 minutes, and at this time, FX06 (2.4 mg/kg, n = 8) or vehicle control (phosphate buffered saline; 2.4 mg/kg, n = 7) was injected as an intravenous bolus. SETTING University hospital laboratory. SUBJECTS Anesthetized male farm-bred landrace pigs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Data are presented as mean +/- sd. Five hours after resuscitation, controls presented acute lung injury (Pao2/Fio2-ratio <300 mm Hg; extra-vascular lung water index (marker for lung injury): 9.0 +/- 1.8 mL/kg) and myocardial dysfunction/damage (cardiac index: 4.3 +/- 0.25 L/min/m; stroke volume index: 30 +/- 6 mL/m; cardiac TnT levels: 0.58 +/- 0.25 ng/mL). In contrast, FX06-treated animals showed significantly improved pulmonary and circulatory function (Pao2/Fio2-ratio >*400 mm Hg; extra-vascular lung water index: *5.2 +/- 2.1 mL/kg, cardiac index: *6.3 +/- 1.4 L/min/m; stroke volume index: *51 +/- 11 mL/m; cardiac TnT levels: *0.11 +/- 0.09 ng/mL; *p < 0.05). Also, tissue oxygenation (tpO2; mm Hg) was significantly improved during reperfusion in FX06-treated pigs when compared with controls (liver 51 +/- 4 vs. *65 +/- 4; serosa 44 +/- 5 vs. *55 +/- 7; mucosa 14 +/- 4 vs. *26 +/- 4). Finally, FX06 reduced accumulation of myeloperoxidase-positive cells (mainly neutrophils) in myocardium, liver, and small intestine and reduced interleukin-6 plasma levels (*p < 0.05; compared with controls). CONCLUSION We conclude that in a pig model of HS and reperfusion, administration of FX06 during reperfusion protects shock- susceptible organs such as heart, lung, liver, and small intestine.

Abstract
Hypothermia is an effective method for reducing the neuronal damage induced by hypoxia-ischemia (HI) but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To investigate the effects of post-HI hypothermia on the developing brain, 7-day-old rats were subjected to left carotid artery ligation followed by 8% oxygen for 2h. They were divided into a hypothermia group (rectal temperature 32-33 degrees C for 24h) and a normothermia group (36-37 degrees C for 24h) immediately after hypoxia-ischemia. Animals were sacrificed at 12, 24 and 72 h for gene analysis and 0, 1, 3 and 7 days for protein analysis after HI. There was a significant decrease in infarct volume in the hypothermia group at 7 days after HI compared with that in the normothermia group. The hypothermia group had more neuronal nuclei (NeuN) positive neurons and lower levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) mRNA and immunoreactivity in the hippocampus CA1 region than the normothermia group. Real-time PCR showed no significant difference in glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) mRNA expression in the hippocampus in the two groups at various time points after HI. However, GDNF protein level was significantly increased in the hypothermia group. On the other hand, mRNA and protein levels of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were dramatically decreased in the hypothermia compared with the normothermia group. The present findings highlight an apparent association between inhibition of hippocampal neuron loss by hypothermia and decreased astrocytosis and inflammatory cytokine release after hypoxia-ischemia in the developing brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Haemorrhagic shock causes ischaemia and subsequent fluid resuscitation causes reperfusion injury, jointly resulting in high morbidity and mortality. We tested whether the anti-inflammatory fibrin-derived peptide, Bbeta(15-42), also called FX06, is tissue protective in a model of haemorrhagic shock. METHODS In a pig model, we standardised the severity of haemorrhagic shock by achieving a cumulative oxygen deficit of approximately 100ml/kg body weight by withdrawing blood over a period of 1h. This was followed by resuscitation with shed blood and full electrolyte solution, and pigs were monitored for 3 days. At reperfusion, 17 pigs were randomly assigned to FX06 or solvent treatment. RESULTS FX06-treated pigs demonstrated improved cardiac function (stroke volume index: 67ml/m(2) versus 33ml/m(2)), decreased troponin T release in the early reperfusion (0.24ng/ml versus 0.78ng/ml), decreased AST levels after 24h (106U/l versus 189U/l) and decreased creatinine levels after 24h (108micromol/l versus 159micromol/l). Furthermore, FX06-treated pigs demonstrated preservation of the gut/blood barrier, while controls demonstrated high endotoxin plasma levels indicating translocation of bacteria and/or its products (0.2EU/ml versus 24.3EU/ml) after 24h. This study also demonstrates a significantly improved neurological performance in the FX06 group as determined by S100beta serum levels (0.72microg/l versus 1.25microg/l) after 48h and neurological deficit scores (11 versus 70) after 24h. CONCLUSION FX06 - when administered as an adjunct to fluid resuscitation therapy - is organ protective in pigs. Further investigations are warranted to reveal the protective mechanism of FX06.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid induction of profound hypothermia for emergency preservation and resuscitation can improve survival from uncontrolled lethal hemorrhage in large animal models. We have previously demonstrated that profound hypothermia (10 degrees C) must be induced rapidly (2 degrees C/min) and reversed gradually (0.5 degrees C/min) for best results. However, the maximum duration of hypothermic arrest in a clinically relevant trauma model remains unknown. METHODS Uncontrolled lethal hemorrhage was induced in 22 swine by creating an iliac artery and vein injury, followed 30 minutes later (simulating transport time) by laceration of the descending thoracic aorta. Through a thoracotomy approach, a catheter was placed in the aorta, and cold organ preservation solution was infused using a roller pump to rapidly induce profound hypothermia (10 degrees C) which was maintained with low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass. Vascular injuries were repaired during the asanguinous hypothermic low flow period. Profound hypothermia was maintained (n = 10-12 per group) for either 60 minutes or 120 minutes. After repair of injuries, animals were rewarmed (0.5 degrees C/min) and resuscitated on cardiopulmonary bypass, and whole blood was infused during this period. Animals were monitored for 4 weeks for neurologic deficits, organ dysfunction, and postoperative complications. RESULTS The 4-week survival rates in 60- and 120-minute groups were 92% and 50%, respectively (p < 0.05). The surviving animals were neurologically intact and had no long-term organ dysfunction, except for one animal in the 120-minute group. The animals subjected to 120 minutes of hypothermia had significantly worse lactic acidosis, displayed markedly slower recovery, and had significantly higher rates of postoperative complications, including late deaths because of infections. CONCLUSION In a model of lethal injuries, rapid induction of profound hypothermia can prevent death. Profound hypothermia decreases but does not abolish metabolism. With current methods, the upper limit of hypothermic arrest in the setting of uncontrolled hemorrhage is 60 minutes.

Abstract
The induction of mild hypothermia, lowering body temperature by 4 degrees C, is gaining acceptance as an acute therapy for the treatment of hypoxia and ischemia following cardiac arrest and many life-threatening injuries. When hypothermia is used following ischemia (as opposed to before ischemia), it needs to be performed rapidly for the greatest benefit, preferably within 5 min. When we consider the basic heat-transfer problem and define the engineering parameter space, we find that almost 3900 W of cooling are required in order to achieve 4 degrees C cooling within 5 min. A simple model reveals that this poses a significant bioengineering challenge as the rate of heat transfer is severely limited, owing to a relatively confined fundamental parameter space. Current methods of cooling include external cooling devices, such as cooling blankets or ice bags, which are simple to use, relatively inexpensive but slow. Internal cooling has the best ability to cool more rapidly but current devices are more invasive, costly and most are still not able to provide cooling within the rapid 5-min interval. Cardiopulmonary bypass and recirculating coolants can achieve the cooling rate but are currently extremely invasive and require a highly skilled team to implement. Future therapies may include phase-change coolants, such as microparticulate ice-saline slurries or evaporative cooling technologies specifically designed for human use. With continuing research and investment, methods for rapid cooling can be developed and will translate into saving lives.

Abstract
Emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR) is a new approach for resuscitation of exsanguination cardiac arrest (CA) victims to buy time for surgical hemostasis. EPR uses a cold aortic flush to induce deep hypothermic preservation, followed by resuscitation with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We previously reported that 20 min of EPR was feasible with intact outcome. In this report, we tested the limits for EPR in rats. Adult male isoflurane-anesthetized rats were subjected to rapid hemorrhage (12.5 ml over 5 min), followed by esmolol/KCl-induced CA and 1 min of no-flow. EPR was then induced by perfusion with 270 ml of ice-cold Plasma-Lyte to decrease body temperature to 15 degrees C. After 60 min (n=7) or 75 min (n=7) of EPR, resuscitation was attempted with CPB over 60 min, blood transfusion, correction of acid-base balance and electrolyte disturbances, and mechanical ventilation for 2h. Survival, overall performance category (OPC: 1=normal, 5=death), neurological deficit score (NDS), and histological damage score (HDS) were assessed in survivors on day 3. While all rats after 60 min EPR survived, only two out of seven rats after 75 min EPR survived (p<0.05). All rats after 60 min EPR achieved OPC 1 and normal NDS by day 3. Survivors after 75 min EPR achieved best OPC 3 (p<0.05 vs. 60 min EPR). HDS of either brain or individual viscera was not statistically different after 60 versus 75 min EPR, except for kidneys (0+/-0 vs. 1.9+/-1.3, respectively; p<0.05), with a strong trend toward greater injury in all extracerebral organs in the 75-min EPR group (p<0.06). Histological findings were dominated by cardiac lesions observed in both groups and acute renal tubular and liver necrosis in the 75-min EPR group. In conclusion, we have shown that 60 min of EPR after exsanguination CA is associated with survival and favorable neurological outcome, while 75 min of EPR results in significant mortality and neurological damage in survivors. Surprisingly, extracerebral lesions predominated at 75-min EPR group. This model should serve as a screening model both for testing new pharmacological adjuncts to improve survival after exsanguination CA, and for elucidating the underlying mechanisms of ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of death in civilian and military trauma. Effective hemorrhage control and better resuscitation strategies have the potential of saving lives. However, if not performed properly, resuscitation can actually exacerbate cellular injury caused by hemorrhagic shock, and the type of fluid used for resuscitation plays an important role in this injury pattern. It is logical to prevent this cellular injury through wiser resuscitation strategies than attempting immunomodulation after the damage has already occurred. It is important to recognize that unlike numerous other variables, resuscitation is completely under our control. We decide who, when and how should get resuscitated. This paper summarizes data from a number of studies to illustrate the differential effects of commonly used resuscitation fluids on cellular injury, and how these relate to clinical practice. In addition, some novel resuscitation strategies are described that may become clinically available in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid induction of profound hypothermia can improve survival from uncontrolled lethal hemorrhage. However, the optimal depth of hypothermia in this setting remains unknown. This experiment was designed to compare the impact of deep (15 degrees C), profound (10 degrees C), and ultraprofound (5 degrees C) hypothermia on survival and organ functions. METHODS Uncontrolled lethal hemorrhage was induced in 32 swine (80-120 lb) by creating an iliac artery and vein injury, followed 30 minutes later by laceration of the descending thoracic aorta. Hypothermia was induced rapidly (2 degrees C/min) by infusing cold organ preservation solution into the aorta through a thoracotomy. The experimental groups were (n = 8 per group): a normothermic control, and 3 hypothermic groups in which the core temperature was reduced to 15 degrees C, 10 degrees C, and 5 degrees C. Vascular injuries were repaired during 60 minutes of hypothermia. Animals were then rewarmed (0.5 degrees C/min) and resuscitated on cardiopulmonary bypass, and monitored for 6 weeks for neurologic deficits, cognitive function, and organ dysfunction. RESULTS All normothermic animals died, whereas 6-week survival rates for the 15 degrees C, 10 degrees C, and 5 degrees C groups were 62.5%, 87.5%, and 25%, respectively (P < .05: normothermic vs 15 degrees C and 10 degrees C; 10 degrees C vs 5 degrees C). The surviving animals from the 15 degrees C and 10 degrees C groups were neurologically intact, displayed normal learning capacity, and had no long-term organ dysfunction. The survivors from the 5 degrees C group displayed slower recovery and impaired cognitive functions. CONCLUSIONS In a model of lethal injuries, rapid induction of profound hypothermia can prevent death. The depth of hypothermia influences survival, with a better outcome associated with a core temperature of 10 degrees C compared with 5 degrees C.
