Ultrafast Cooling With Total Liquid Ventilation Mitigates Early Inflammatory Response and Offers Neuroprotection in a Porcine Model of Cardiac Arrest. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e035617.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain injury is one of the most serious complications after cardiac arrest (CA). To prevent this phenomenon, rapid cooling with total liquid ventilation (TLV) has been proposed in small animal models of CA (rabbits and piglets). Here, we aimed to determine whether hypothermic TLV can also offer neuroprotection and mitigate cerebral inflammatory response in large animals. METHODS AND RESULTS Anesthetized pigs were subjected to 14 minutes of ventricular fibrillation followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After return of spontaneous circulation, animals were randomly subjected to normothermia (control group, n=8) or ultrafast cooling with TLV (TLV group, n=8). In the latter group, TLV was initiated within a window of 15 minutes after return of spontaneous circulation and allowed to reduce tympanic, esophageal, and bladder temperature to the 32 to 34 °C range within 30 minutes. After 45 minutes of TLV, gas ventilation was resumed, and hypothermia was maintained externally until 3 hours after CA, before rewarming using heat pads (0.5 °C-1 °C/h). After an additional period of progressive rewarming for 3 hours, animals were euthanized for brain withdrawal and histological analysis. At the end of the follow-up (ie, 6 hours after CA), histology showed reduced brain injury as witnessed by the reduced number of Fluroro-Jade C-positive cerebral degenerating neurons in TLV versus control. IL (interleukin)-1ra and IL-8 levels were also significantly reduced in the cerebrospinal fluid in TLV versus control along with cerebral infiltration by CD3+ cells. Conversely, circulating levels of cytokines were not different among groups, suggesting a discrepancy between local and systemic inflammatory levels. CONCLUSIONS Ultrafast cooling with TLV mitigates neuroinflammation and attenuates acute brain lesions in the early phase following resuscitation in large animals subjected to CA.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most commonly occurring of all malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors in adults. Considering the low median survival of only ∼15 months and poor prognosis in GBM patients, despite surgical resection with adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy, it is vital to seek brand new and innovative treatment in combination with already existing methods. Hypothermia participates in many metabolic pathways, inflammatory responses, and apoptotic processes, while also promoting the integrity of neurons. Following the successful application of therapeutic hypothermia across a spectrum of disorders such as traumatic CNS injury, cardiac arrest, and epilepsy, several clinical trials have set to evaluate the potency of hypothermia in treating a variety of cancers, including breast and ovaries cancer. In regard to primary neoplasms and more specifically, GBM, hypothermia has recently shown promising results as an auxiliary treatment, reinforcing chemotherapy's efficacy. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in utilizing hypothermia as treatment for GBM and other cancers.

CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:72. [PMID: 38255385 PMCID: PMC10814453 DOI: 10.3390/children11010072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined systemic inflammatory indices and "Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte, Platelet (HALP) scores" in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). METHODS A total of 43 neonates with moderate-to-severe HIE at 36 weeks' gestation were assessed. Systemic inflammatory markers were measured before HT commenced within 0-6 h after birth and between 60 and 72 h during and after therapy or before adjusting for hypothermia. RESULTS Platelet counts, hemoglobin levels, and platelet indices in the HIE group were significantly lower at both time points (p = 0.001). Both the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) decreased in the HIE group after hypothermia therapy (p = 0.001). Seizures, PVL, and kidney injuries were associated with higher HALP scores. The AUCs of NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, SIRI, and platelet, neutrophil, monocyte, and lymphocyte Index (PIV) showed significant sensitivity and specified HIE, with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.654, 0.751, 0.766, 0.700, 0.722, and 0.749, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A significant difference in systemic inflammatory markers was found between the HIE and control groups after hypothermia treatment, with significant reductions in the MLR and NLR. These markers, particularly MLR, were significant predictors of adverse clinical outcomes including seizures, PVL, and kidney damage.

Abstract
Cold therapy has been used for centuries, from Julius Caesar to Mohandas Gandhi, as a potent therapeutic approach. However, it has been largely forgotten in modern medicine. This review explores the history of cold therapy and its potential application as a therapeutic strategy against various diseases, including cancer. We examine the different techniques of cold exposure and the use of other therapeutical approaches, such as cryoablation, cryotherapy, cryoimmunotherapy, cryothalectomy, and delivery of cryogen agents. While clinical trials using cold therapy for cancer treatment are still limited, recent research shows promising results in experimental animal cancer models. This area of research is becoming increasingly significant and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) have been linked to infarct volume expansion following ischemic stroke. Therapeutic hypothermia provides a neuroprotective effect after ischemic stroke. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hypothermia on the propagation of SDs and infarct volume in an ischemic swine model. Through left orbital exenteration, middle cerebral arteries were surgically occluded (MCAo) in 16 swine. Extensive craniotomy and durotomy were performed. Six hypothermic and five normothermic animals were included in the analysis. An intracranial temperature probe was placed right frontal subdural. One hour after ischemic onset, mild hypothermia was induced and eighteen hours of electrocorticographic (ECoG) and intrinsic optical signal (IOS) recordings were acquired. Postmortem, 4 mm-thick slices were stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride to estimate the infarct volume. Compared to normothermia (36.4 ± 0.4°C), hypothermia (32.3 ± 0.2°C) significantly reduced the frequency and expansion of SDs (ECoG: 3.5 ± 2.1, 73.2 ± 5.2% vs. 1.0 ± 0.7, 41.9 ± 21.8%; IOS 3.9 ± 0.4, 87.6 ± 12.0% vs. 1.4 ± 0.7, 67.7 ± 8.3%, respectively). Further, infarct volume among hypothermic animals (23.2 ± 1.8% vs. 32.4 ± 2.5%) was significantly reduced. Therapeutic hypothermia reduces infarct volume and the frequency and expansion of SDs following cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a common response in various neurological disorders. Mesenchymal stem cell-based treatment has become a promising therapy for neuroinflammation-associated diseases. However, the effects of mesenchymal stem cells are controversial, and the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. In the present study, menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells were intravenously transplanted into a mouse model of neuroinflammation established by peripheral injection of lipopolysaccharide. Microglial cells challenged with lipopolysaccharide were cultured with conditioned medium from endometrial stem cells. The levels of cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cell proliferation and death were detected by Cell Counting Kit 8 and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) and caspase 1 (Casp1) were evaluated by western blotting. The results showed that intravenous transplantation of endometrial stem cells downregulated proinflammatory factors and upregulated anti-inflammatory factors in the brain of mice with neuroinflammation. Conditioned medium suppressed the inflammatory reaction and hyperactivation of microglial cells and protected microglial cells from cell death induced by lipopolysaccharide in vitro. The expression of TLR4, MyD88, NLRP3 and Casp1 in the brain of mice with neuroinflammation and in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglial cells was downregulated by endometrial stem cells and conditioned medium, respectively. These data suggested that menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells may suppress neuroinflammatory reactions partially by regulating microglia through the TLR4/MyD88/NLRP3/Casp1 signalling pathway. Our findings may be very useful for the development of an alternative stem cell-based therapy for neuroinflammation-associated disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) has been demonstrated to prevent residual hearing loss from surgical trauma associated with cochlear implant (CI) insertion. Here, we aimed to characterize the mechanisms of MTH-induced hearing preservation in CI in a well-established preclinical rodent model. APPROACH Rats were divided into four experimental conditions: MTH-treated and implanted cochleae, cochleae implanted under normothermic conditions, MTH only cochleae and un-operated cochleae (controls). Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were recorded at different time points (up to 84 days) to confirm long-term protection and safety of MTH locally applied to the cochlea for 20 min before and after implantation. Transcriptome sequencing profiling was performed on cochleae harvested 24 h post CI and MTH treatment to investigate the potential beneficial effects and underlying active gene expression pathways targeted by the temperature management. RESULTS MTH treatment preserved residual hearing up to 3 months following CI when compared to the normothermic CI group. In addition, MTH applied locally to the cochleae using our surgical approach was safe and did not affect hearing in the long-term. Results of RNA sequencing analysis highlight positive modulation of signaling pathways and gene expression associated with an activation of cellular inflammatory and immune responses against the mechanical damage caused by electrode insertion. SIGNIFICANCE These data suggest that multiple and possibly independent molecular pathways play a role in the protection of residual hearing provided by MTH against the trauma of cochlear implantation.

Targeting Persistent Neuroinflammation after Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy-Is Exendin-4 the Answer? Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231710191.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is brain injury resulting from the loss of oxygen and blood supply around the time of birth. It is associated with a high risk of death or disability. The only approved treatment is therapeutic hypothermia. Therapeutic hypothermia has consistently been shown to significantly reduce the risk of death and disability in infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. However, approximately 29% of infants treated with therapeutic hypothermia still develop disability. Recent preclinical and clinical studies have shown that there is still persistent neuroinflammation even after treating with therapeutic hypothermia, which may contribute to the deficits seen in infants despite treatment. This suggests that potentially targeting this persistent neuroinflammation would have an additive benefit in addition to therapeutic hypothermia. A potential additive treatment is Exendin-4, which is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist. Preclinical data from various in vitro and in vivo disease models have shown that Exendin-4 has anti-inflammatory, mitochondrial protective, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative and neurotrophic effects. Although preclinical studies of the effect of Exendin-4 in perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury are limited, a seminal study in neonatal mice showed that Exendin-4 had promising neuroprotective effects. Further studies on Exendin-4 neuroprotection for perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, including in large animal translational models are warranted to better understand its safety, window of opportunity and effectiveness as an adjunct with therapeutic hypothermia.

Abstract
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a devastating neurologic condition that can arise following a variety of systemic infections, including influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Affected individuals typically present with rapid changes in consciousness, focal neurological deficits, and seizures. Neuroimaging reveals symmetric, bilateral deep gray matter lesions, often involving the thalami, with evidence of necrosis and/or hemorrhage. The clinical and radiologic picture must be distinguished from direct infection of the central nervous system by some viruses, and from metabolic and mitochondrial disorders. Outcomes following ANE are poor overall and worse in those with brainstem involvement. Specific management is often directed toward modulating immune responses given the potential role of systemic inflammation and cytokine storm in potentiating neurologic injury in ANE, though benefits of such approaches remain unclear. The finding that many patients have mutations in the nucleoporin gene RANBP2, which encodes a multifunctional protein that plays a key role in nucleocytoplasmic transport, may allow for the development of disease models that provide insights into pathogenic mechanisms and novel therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Ischemia reperfusion (I/R)-induced intestinal injury is a pathophysiological process leading to oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, and revealing its underlying mechanisms is essential for developing therapeutic strategies. Cyclooxygenase (COX) has been reported to be involved in I/R injury. Parecoxib sodium, a selective inhibitor for COX-2, exerts protective effects, such as reducing I/R-induced injuries in the heart, kidney and brain. However, the potential role of parecoxib sodium in protecting the small intestine against I/R-induced injury has rarely been investigated. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to elucidate the effects and potential mechanisms of parecoxib sodium in I/R-induced intestinal injury. In total, 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control (sham operation) group, intestinal I/R group, 10 mg/kg parecoxib sodium-pre-treated I/R (I/R + Pare/10) group and the 20 mg/kg parecoxib sodium-pre-treated I/R (I/R + Pare/20) group. A regular I/R model was established to induce the intestinal injury in rats. Parecoxib sodium at 10 or 20 mg/kg was intraperitoneally administered into rats in both I/R + Pare groups once daily for 5 consecutive days prior to ischemia. Blood samples and small intestinal tissues were collected at 2 h after reperfusion. Changes in the levels of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 and IL-10, as well as the total antioxidant capacity were determined using ELISA, as were the activities of superoxidase dismutase and myeloperoxidase. Furthermore, the protein expression levels of total caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were examined via western blot analysis. In addition, the daily survival rate post-reperfusion was examined for 7 days. It was revealed that parecoxib sodium increased the levels of antioxidants and suppressed the intestinal oxidative injury induced by I/R. Moreover, parecoxib sodium downregulated the expression levels of the proinflammatory factors, but upregulated the expression levels of anti-inflammatory factors. The results also demonstrated that parecoxib sodium attenuated I/R-induced apoptosis and increased the survival rate of rats. Thus, administration of parecoxib sodium prior to intestinal I/R attenuated intestinal injury and increased the rat survival rate by inhibiting I/R-induced inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
Postanoxic encephalopathy is the key determinant of death or disability after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Animal studies have provided proof-of-principle evidence of efficacy of divergent classes of neuroprotective treatments to promote brain recovery. However, apart from targeted temperature management (TTM), neuroprotective treatments are not included in current care of patients with postanoxic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest. We aimed to review the clinical evidence of efficacy of neuroprotective strategies to improve recovery of comatose patients after cardiac arrest and to propose future directions. We performed a systematic search of the literature to identify prospective, comparative clinical trials on interventions to improve neurological outcome of comatose patients after cardiac arrest. We included 53 studies on 21 interventions. None showed unequivocal benefit. TTM at 33 or 36°C and adrenaline (epinephrine) are studied most, followed by xenon, erythropoietin, and calcium antagonists. Lack of efficacy is associated with heterogeneity of patient groups and limited specificity of outcome measures. Ongoing and future trials will benefit from systematic collection of measures of baseline encephalopathy and sufficiently powered predefined subgroup analyses. Outcome measurement should include comprehensive neuropsychological follow-up, to show treatment effects that are not detectable by gross measures of functional recovery. To enhance translation from animal models to patients, studies under experimental conditions should adhere to strict methodological and publication guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is observed clinically after spinal cord injury (SCI) and contributes to the diminished long-term quality of life. Our study examined the acute and chronic GI vascular changes that occur following SCI. We demonstrated that the GI vascular tract in SCI mice becomes compromised during the acute phase of injury and persists into the chronic phase of injury. METHODS Gastrointestinal vasculature permeability was measured using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) at 48 hours, and 2 and 4 weeks following contusion spinal cord injury. Angiopoietin-1, a vascular stabilizing protein, was administered intravenously following injury. Intestinal contractile activity assessments were performed following the last imaging session. KEY RESULTS Our results indicated that a single administration of Ang-1 reduced vascular permeability at 48 hours but the effect was only transient. However, when the treatment paradigm was changed from a single administration to multiple administrations of Ang-1 following contusion injury, our DCE MRI data indicated a significant decrease in GI vascular permeability 4 weeks after injury compared with vehicle control treated animals. This improved GI vascular permeability was associated with improved sustained intestinal contractile activity. We also demonstrated that Ang-1 reduced the expression of sICAM-1 in the ileum compared with the saline-treated group. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES We show that the GI vasculature is compromised in the acute and chronic phase of injury following spinal contusion. Our results also indicate that multiple administrations of Ang-1 can attenuate GI vascular permeability, possibly reduce inflammation, and improve sustained agonist-induced contraction compared with saline treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neuroprosthetics hold tremendous promise to restore function through brain-computer interfaced devices. However, clinical applications of implantable microelectrodes remain limited given the challenges of maintaining neuronal signals for extended periods of time and with multiple biological mechanisms negatively affecting electrode performance. Acute and chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and blood brain barrier disruption contribute to inconsistent electrode performance. We hypothesized that therapeutic hypothermia (TH) applied at the microelectrode insertion site will positively modulate both inflammatory and apoptotic pathways, promoting neuroprotection and improved performance in the long-term. APPROACH A custom device and thermoelectric system were designed to deliver controlled TH locally to the cortical implant site at the time of microelectrode array insertion and immediately following surgery. The TH paradigm was derived from in vivo cortical temperature measurements and finite element modeling of temperature distribution profiles in the cortex. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with non-functional Utah microelectrodes arrays (UMEA) consisting of 4 × 4 grid of 1.5 mm long parylene-coated silicon shanks. In one group, TH was applied to the implant site for two hours following the UMEA implantation, while the other group was implanted under normothermic conditions without treatment. At 48 h, 72 h, 7 d and 14 d post-implantation, mRNA expression levels for genes associated with inflammation and apoptosis were compared between normothermic and hypothermia-treated groups. MAIN RESULTS The custom system delivered controlled TH to the cortical implant site and the numerical models confirmed that the temperature decrease was confined locally. Furthermore, a one-time application of TH post UMEA insertion significantly reduced the acute inflammatory response with a reduction in the expression of inflammatory regulating cytokines and chemokines. SIGNIFICANCE This work provides evidence that acutely applied hypothermia is effective in significantly reducing acute inflammation post intracortical electrode implantation.

Abstract
The remarkable temperature sensitivity of the brain is widely recognized and has been studied for its role in the potentiation of ischemic and other neurologic injuries. Pyrexia frequently complicates large-vessel acute ischemic stroke and develops commonly in critically ill neurologic patients; the profound sensitivity of the brain even to minor intraischemic temperature changes, together with the discovery of brain-to-systemic as well as intracerebral temperature gradients, has thus compelled the exploration of cerebral thermoregulation and uncovered its immutable dependence on cerebral blood flow. A lack of pragmatic and noninvasive tools for spatially and temporally resolved brain thermometry has historically restricted empiric study of cerebral temperature homeostasis; however, MR thermometry (MRT) leveraging temperature-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance phenomena is well-suited to bridging this long-standing gap. This review aims to introduce the reader to the following: 1) fundamental aspects of cerebral thermoregulation, 2) the physical basis of noninvasive MRT, and 3) the physiologic interdependence of cerebral temperature, perfusion, metabolism, and viability.

Curr Neurovasc Res 2019; 16:232-240. [DOI: 10.2174/1567202616666190624122727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2019] [Revised: 05/08/2019] [Accepted: 05/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Background:
The inflammatory response to acute cerebral ischemia is a major factor in
stroke pathobiology and patient outcome. In the clinical setting, no effective pharmacologic treatments
are currently available. Phenothiazine drugs, such as chlorpromazine and promethazine,
(C+P) have been widely studied because of their ability to induce neuroprotection through artificial
hibernation after stroke. The present study determined their effect on the inflammatory response.
Methods:
Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: (1) sham, (2) stroke, (3) stroke treated
by C+P without temperature control and (4) stroke treated by C+P with temperature control (n=8
per group). To assess the neuroprotective effect of C+P, brain damage was measured using infarct
volume and neurological deficits. The expression of inflammatory response molecules tumor necrosis
factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), vascular
cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), and nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated
B cells (NF-κB) was determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting
Results:
TNF-α, IL-1β, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and NF-κB mRNA and protein expressions were upregulated,
and brain damage and neurological deficits were increased after stroke. These markers
of cerebral injury were significantly reduced following C+P administration under drug-induced
hypothermia, while C+P administration under normal body temperature reduced them by a lesser
degree.
Conclusion:
This study showed an inhibitory effect of C+P on brain inflammation, which may be
partially dependent on drug-induced hibernation, as well as other mechanisms of action by these
drugs. These findings further suggest the great potential of C+P in the clinical treatment of ischemic
stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia contributes to retinal damage in several retinal diseases, including central retinal artery occlusion, with detrimental consequences like painless, monocular loss of vision. Currently, the treatment options are severely limited due to the short therapy window, as the neuronal cells, especially the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), are irreversibly damaged within the first few hours. Hypothermia might be a possible treatment option or at least might increase the therapy window. METHODS To investigate the neuroprotective effect of hypothermia after retinal hypoxia, an easy-to-use ex vivo retinal hypoxia organ culture model developed in our laboratory was used that reliably induced retinal damage on a structural, molecular and functional level. The neuroprotective effect of hypothermia after retinal hypoxia was analysed using optical coherence tomography scans, histological stainings, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and microelectrode array recordings. RESULTS Two different hypothermic temperatures (30°C and 20°C) were evaluated, both exhibited strong neuroprotective effects. Most importantly, hypothermia increased RGC survival after retinal hypoxia. Furthermore, hypothermia counteracted the hypoxia-induced RGC death, reduced macroglia activation, attenuated retinal thinning and protected from loss of spontaneous RGC activity. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that already a mild reduction in temperature protects the RGCs against damage and could function as a promising therapeutic option for hypoxic diseases.

Abstract
Ischemic injury can be alleviated by the judicious use of hypothermia. However, the optimal regimens and the temporal kinetics of post-stroke neurovascular responses to hypothermic intervention have not been systematically studied. These gaps slow the clinical translation of hypothermia as an anti-stroke therapy. Here, we characterized the effects of transient selective brain hypothermia (TSBH) from the hyperacute to chronic stages of focal ischemia/reperfusion brain injury induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice. A simple cooling device was used to induce TSBH during cerebral ischemia. This treatment reduced mortality from 31.8% to 0% and improved neurological outcomes for at least 35 days post-injury. TSBH mitigated blood-brain barrier leakage during the hyperacute and acute injury stages (1-23 h post-reperfusion). This early protection of the blood-brain barrier was associated with anti-inflammatory phenotypic polarization of microglia/macrophages, reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and less brain infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages during the subacute injury stage (three days post-reperfusion). TSBH elicited enduring protective effects on both grey and white matter for at least 35 days post-injury and preserved the long-term electrophysiological function of fiber tracts. In conclusion, TSBH ameliorates ischemia/reperfusion injury in the neurovascular unit from hyperacute to chronic injury stages after experimental stroke.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is the third most common cause of death and the leading cause of disability worldwide in adults. The antiepileptic drug valproic acid (VPA) was reported to protect cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the action mechanism of VPA in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury has not been fully understood. We explored the action mechanism of VPA in vivo and in vitro. Gerbils were subjected to transient global cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury, and hippocampal neuron injury was treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro. Morris water maze test was performed to evaluate the cognitive dysfunction. Histopathological examinations and western blot were performed to evaluate the pyroptosis of neurons. The results showed that VPA attenuated the cognitive dysfunction, pyroptosis of the gerbils suffer from ischemic-reperfusion injury and decreased hippocampal neurons pyroptosis induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation in vitro. In addition, western blot and real-time PCR analysis revealed that VPA modulated the protein expression of apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC), caspase-1 and IL-1β/IL-18. Our results suggested that VPA alleviated ischemic/reperfusion injury-mediated neuronal impairment by anti-pyroptotic effects.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mediated by calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels contributes to calcium signaling. The resulting intracellular calcium increases activate calcineurin, which in turn activates immune transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Microglia contain CRAC channels, but little is known whether these channels play a role in acute brain insults. We studied a novel CRAC channel inhibitor to explore the therapeutic potential of this compound in microglia-mediated injury. Cultured microglial BV2 cells were activated by Toll-like receptor agonists or IFNγ. Some cultures were treated with a novel CRAC channel inhibitor (CM-EX-137). Western blots revealed the presence of CRAC channel proteins STIM1 and Orai1 in BV2 cells. CM-EX-137 decreased nitric oxide (NO) release and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in activated microglia and reduced agonist-induced intracellular calcium accumulation in microglia, while suppressing inflammatory transcription factors nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Male C57/BL6 mice exposed to experimental brain trauma and treated with CM-EX-137 had decreased lesion size, brain hemorrhage, and improved neurological deficits with decreased microglial activation, iNOS and Orai1 and STIM1 levels. We suggest a novel anti-inflammatory approach for managing acute brain injury. Our observations also shed light on new calcium signaling pathways not described previously in brain injury models.

Abstract
Evidence from animal models indicates that lowering temperature by a few degrees can produce substantial neuroprotection. In humans, hypothermia has been found to be neuroprotective with a significant impact on mortality and long-term functional outcome only in cardiac arrest and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Clinical trials have explored the potential role of maintaining normothermia and treating fever in critically ill brain injured patients. This review concentrates on basic concepts to understand the physiologic interactions of thermoregulation, effects of thermal modulation in critically ill patients, proposed mechanisms of action of temperature modulation, and practical aspects of targeted temperature management.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a potent neuroprotective therapy in experimental cerebral ischemia, with multiple effects at several stages of the ischemic cascade. In animals, TH is so powerful that all preclinical stroke studies require strict temperature control. In humans, multiple clinical studies documented powerful protection with TH after accidental neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury and global cerebral ischemia with return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest. National and international guidelines recommend TH for selected survivors of global ischemia, with profound benefits seen. Recently, a study comparing target temperature 33-36°C failed to demonstrate significant effects in cardiac arrest patients. Additionally, clinical trials of TH for head trauma and stroke have so far failed to confirm benefit in humans despite a vast preclinical literature. Therefore, it is now critical to understand the fundamental explanation for the success of TH in some, but famously not all, clinical trials. TH in animals appears to work when used soon after ischemia onset; for a short duration; and at a deep target temperature.

Dose-dependent effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors β/δ agonist on systemic inflammation after haemorrhagic shock. Cytokine 2017; 103:127-132. [PMID: 28969938 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2017.09.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2017] [Revised: 08/27/2017] [Accepted: 09/20/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION PPARβ/δ agonists are known to modulate the systemic inflammatory response after sepsis. In this study, inflammation modulation effects of PPARβ/δ are investigated using the selective PPARβ/δ agonist (GW0742) in a model of haemorrhagic shock (HS)-induced sterile systemic inflammation. METHODS Blood pressure-controlled (35±5mmHg) HS was performed in C57/BL6 mice for 90min. Low-dose GW0742 (0.03mg/kg/BW) and high-dose GW0742 (0.3mg/kg/BW) were then administered at the beginning of resuscitation. Mice were sacrificed 6h after induction of HS. Plasma levels of IL-6, IL-1β, IL-10, TNFα, KC, MCP-1, and GM-CSF were determined by ELISA. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in pulmonary and liver tissues was analysed with standardised MPO kits. RESULTS In mice treated with high-dose GW0742, plasma levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and MCP-1 were significantly increased compared to the control group mice. When compared to mice treated with low-dose GW0742 plasma levels of IL-6, IL-1β, GM-CSF, KC, and MCP-1 were significantly elevated in high-dose-treated mice. Low-dose GW0742 treatment was associated with a non-significant downtrend of inflammatory factors in mice with HS. No significant changes of MPO activity in lung and liver were observed between the control group and the GW0742 treatment groups. CONCLUSION This study identified dose-dependent effects of GW0742 on systemic inflammation after HS. While high-dose GW0742 substantially enhanced the systemic inflammatory response, low-dose GW0742 led to a downtrend of pro-inflammation cytokine expression. The exact mechanisms are yet unknown and need to be assessed in further studies.

Effects of a compound from the group of substituted thiadiazines with hypothermia inducing properties on brain metabolism in rats, a study in vivo and in vitro. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0180739. [PMID: 28678857 PMCID: PMC5498073 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0180739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2016] [Accepted: 06/20/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine how administration of a compound of 1,3,4- thiadiazine class 2-morpholino-5-phenyl-6H-1,3,4-thiadiazine, hydrobromide (L-17) with hypothermia inducing properties affects the brain metabolism. The mechanism by which L-17 induces hypothermia is unknown; it may involve hypothalamic central thermoregulation as well as act via inhibition of energy metabolism. We tested the hypothesis that L-17 may induce hypothermia by directly inhibiting energy metabolism. The study in vivo was carried out on Sprague-Dawley adult rats. Two doses of L-17 were administered (190 mg/kg and 760 mg/kg). Brain metabolites were analyzed in control and treated groups using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, along with blood flow rate measurements in carotid arteries and body temperature measurements. Further in vitro studies on primary cultures from rat hippocampus were carried out to perform a mitochondria function test of L-17 pre-incubation (100 μM, 30 min). Analysis of brain metabolites showed no significant changes in 190 mg/kg treated group along with a significant reduction in body temperature by 1.5°C. However, administration of L-17 in higher dose 760 mg/kg provoked changes in brain metabolites indicative of neurotoxicity as well as reduction in carotid arteries flow rate. In addition, a balance change of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters was observed. The L-17 pre-incubation with cell primary cultures from rat brain showed no significant changes in mitochondrial function. The results obtained in the study indicate that acute administration of L-17 190 mg/kg in rats induces mild hypothermia with no adverse effects onto brain metabolism.

Abstract
Circulatory arrest (CA) remains a major unresolved public health problem in the United States; the annual incidence of which is ~0.50 to 0.55 per 1000 population. Despite seminal advances in therapeutic approaches over the past several decades, brain injury continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality after CA. In brief, CA typically results in global cerebral ischemia leading to delayed neuronal death in the hippocampal pyramidal cells as well as in the cortical layers. The dynamic changes occurring in neurons after CA are still unclear, and predicting these neurological changes in the brain still remains a difficult issue. It is hypothesized that the "no-flow" period produces a cytotoxic cascade of membrane depolarization, Ca2+ ion influx, glutamate release, acidosis, and resultant activation of lipases, nucleases, and proteases. Furthermore, during reperfusion injury, neuronal death occurs due to the generation of free radicals by interfering with the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The efficacy of many pharmacological agents for CA patients has often been disappointing, reflecting our incomplete understanding of this enigmatic disease. The primary obstacles to the development of a neuroprotective therapy in CA include uncertainties with regard to the precise cause(s) of neuronal dysfunction and what to target. In this review, we summarize our knowledge of the pathophysiology as well as specific cellular changes in brain after CA and revisit the most important neurofunctional, neuroimaging techniques, and serum biomarkers as potent predictors of neurologic outcome in CA patients.

Abstract
Hypothermia is the most potent neuroprotective therapy available. Clinical use of hypothermia is limited by technology and homeostatic mechanisms that maintain core body temperature. Recent advances in intravascular cooling catheters and successful trials of hypothermia for cardiac arrest revivified interest in hypothermia for stroke, resulting in Phase 1 clinical trials and plans for further development. Given the recent spate of neuroprotective therapy failures, we sought to clarify whether clinical trials of therapeutic hypothermia should be mounted in stroke patients. We reviewed the preclinical and early clinical trials of hypothermia for a variety of indications, the putative mechanisms for neuroprotection with hypothermia, and offer several hypotheses that remain to be tested in clinical trials. Therapeutic hypothermia is promising, but further Phase 1 and Phase 2 development efforts are needed to ensure that cooling of stroke patients is safe, before definitive efficacy trials.

Abstract
The prognosis for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with subdural hematoma (SDH) remains poor. In accordance with an increasing elderly population, the incidence of geriatric TBI with SDH is rising. An important contributor to the neurological injury associated with SDH is the ischemic damage which is caused by raised intracranial pressure (ICP) producing impaired cerebral perfusion. To control intracranial hypertension, the current management consists of hematoma evacuation with or without decompressive craniotomy. This removal of the SDH results in the immediate reversal of global ischemia accompanied by an abrupt reduction of mass lesion and an ensuing reperfusion injury. Experimental models can play a critical role in improving our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and in exploring potential treatments for patients with SDH. In this review, we describe the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical background of SDH.

Abstract
Approximately half of moderate to severely hypoxic-ischemic (HI) newborns do not respond to hypothermia, the only proven neuroprotective treatment. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant and glutathione precursor, shows promise for neuroprotection in combination with hypothermia, mitigating post-HI neuroinflammation due to oxidative stress. As mechanisms of HI injury and cell death differ in males and females, sex differences must be considered in translational research of neuroprotection. We assessed the potential toxicity and efficacy of NAC in combination with hypothermia, in male and female neonatal rats after severe HI injury. NAC 50mg/kg/d administered 1h after initiation of hypothermia significantly decreased iNOS expression and caspase 3 activation in the injured hemisphere versus hypothermia alone. However, only females treated with hypothermia +NAC 50mg/kg showed improvement in short-term infarct volumes compared with saline treated animals. Hypothermia alone had no effect in this severe model. When NAC was continued for 6 weeks, significant improvement in long-term neuromotor outcomes over hypothermia treatment alone was observed, controlling for sex. Antioxidants may provide insufficient neuroprotection after HI for neonatal males in the short term, while long-term therapy may benefit both sexes.

Abstract
Acute brain and spinal cord injuries affect hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Though advances in pre-hospital and emergency and neurocritical care have improved the survival of some to these devastating diseases, very few clinical trials of potential neuro-protective strategies have produced promising results. Medical therapies such as targeted temperature management (TTM) have been trialed in traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), acute ischemic stroke (AIS), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), but in no study has a meaningful effect on outcome been demonstrated. To this end, patient selection for potential neuro-protective therapies such as TTM may be the most important factor to effectively demonstrate efficacy in clinical trials. The use of TTM as a strategy to treat and prevent secondary neuronal damage in the intraoperative setting is an area of ongoing investigation. In this review we will discuss recent and ongoing studies that address the role of TTM in combination with surgical approaches for different types of brain injury.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a ubiquitous molecular chaperone involved in the proper conformation of many proteins. HSP90 inhibitors (17-dimethyl aminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin hydrochloride [17-DMAG]) bind to and inactivate HSP90, suppressing some key signaling pathways involved in the inflammatory process. Since considerable evidence suggests that inflammation accounts for the progression of cerebral ischemic injury, we investigated whether 17-DMAG can modulate inflammatory responses in middle cerebral artery occluded (MCAO) mice. Male C57/BL6 mice were pretreated with 17-DMAG or vehicle for 7 d before being subjected to transient occlusion of middle cerebral artery and reperfusion. Mice were evaluated at 24 h after MCAO for neurological deficit scoring. Moreover, the mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of 17-DMAG was investigated with a focus on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. 17-DMAG significantly reduced cerebral infarction and improved neurological outcome. 17-DMAG suppressed activation of microglia and decreased phosphorylation of inhibitory (I)κB and subsequent nuclear translocation of p65, which eventually downregulated expression of NF-κB-regulated genes. These results suggest that 17-DMAG has a promising therapeutic effect in ischemic stroke treatment through an anti-inflammatory mechanism.

Abstract
Despite the intense efforts in searching for stroke therapies, an urgent need still exists to explore novel neuroprotective agents for ischemic stroke that have high efficacy and wide therapeutic time-window. Here, we provide the first demonstration that 28-O-caffeoyl betulin (B-CA), a novel derivative of naturally occurring caffeoyl triterpene, could significantly alleviate brain infarction and neurological deficit when given as late as 6 h after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rat. Moreover, post-ischemia B-CA administration exhibited long-term (14 days post stroke) protective effects on both brain infarction and functional (i.e., motor and sensory) deficits. Protective B-CA effects correlated with decreased inflammatory responses as indicated by inhibition of microglia and astrocyte activation [stained with ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody, respectively], as well as suppression of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and cyclooxygenase-2 overproduction in the ipsilateral cortex of ischemic rat. B-CA administration caused significant hypothermia in the focal cerebral ischemic rat, which may contribute to its ameliorative effects on brain damage and inflammation. In view of its potency in wide therapeutic time-window, robust anti-inflammatory and hypothermic effects, this novel caffeoyl triterpene derivative may lead toward the development of effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if ischaemia is a mechanism of early brain injury at the time of aneurysm rupture in subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and if early MRI ischaemia correlates with admission clinical status and functional outcome. METHODS In a prospective, hypothesis-driven study patients with SAH underwent MRI within 0-3 days of ictus (prior to vasospasm) and a repeat MRI (median 7 days). The volume and number of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) positive/apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) dark lesions on acute MRI were quantitatively assessed. The association of early ischaemia, admission clinical status, risk factors and 3-month outcome were analysed. RESULTS In 61 patients with SAH, 131 MRI were performed. Early ischaemia occurred in 40 (66%) with a mean DWI/ADC volume 8.6 mL (0-198 mL) and lesion number 4.3 (0-25). The presence of any early DWI/ADC lesion and increasing lesion volume were associated with worse Hunt-Hess grade, Glasgow Coma Scale score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II physiological subscores (all p<0.05). Early DWI/ADC lesions significantly predicted increased number and volume of infarcts on follow-up MRI (p<0.005). At 3 months, early DWI/ADC lesion volume was significantly associated with higher rates of death (21% vs. 3%, p=0.031), death/severe disability (modified Rankin Scale 4-6; 53% vs. 15%, p=0.003) and worse Barthel Index (70 vs. 100, p=0.004). After adjusting for age, Hunt-Hess grade and aneurysm size, early infarct volume correlated with death/severe disability (adjusted OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.0 to 3.2, p=0.066). CONCLUSIONS Early ischaemia is related to poor acute neurological status after SAH and predicts future ischaemia and worse functional outcomes. Treatments addressing acute ischaemia should be evaluated for their effect on outcome.

Abstract
In the middle cerebral artery occlusion model of ischemic injury, inflammation primarily occurs in the infarct and peripheral zones. In the ischemic zone, neurons undergo necrosis and apoptosis, and a large number of reactive microglia are present. In the present study, we investigated the pathological changes in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion. Neuronal necrosis appeared 12 hours after middle cerebral artery occlusion, and the peak of neuronal apoptosis appeared 4 to 6 days after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Inflammatory cytokines and microglia play a role in damage and repair after middle cerebral artery occlusion. Serum intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 levels were positively correlated with the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. These findings indicate that intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 may be involved in blood-brain barrier injury, microglial activation, and neuronal apoptosis. Inhibiting blood-brain barrier leakage may alleviate neuronal injury following ischemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Whole-body ischemia and reperfusion trigger a systemic inflammatory response. In this study, we analyzed the effect of temperature on the inflammatory response in patients treated with prolonged mild hypothermia after cardiac arrest. METHODS Ten comatose patients with return of spontaneous circulation after pulseless electrical activity/asystole or prolonged ventricular fibrillation were treated with mild therapeutic hypothermia for 72 hours after admission to a tertiary care university hospital. At admission and at 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 114 hours, the patients' temperature was measured and blood samples were taken from the arterial catheter. Proinflammatory interleukin 6 (IL-6) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines and chemokines (IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and complement activation products (C1r-C1s-C1inhibitor, C4bc, C3bPBb, C3bc and terminal complement complex) were measured. Changes over time were analyzed with the repeated measures test for nonparametric data. Dunn's multiple comparisons test was used for comparison of individual time points. RESULTS The median temperature at the start of the study was 34.3°C (33.4°C to 35.2°C) and was maintained between 32°C and 34°C for 72 hours. All patients were passively rewarmed after 72 hours, from (median (IQR)) 33.7°C (33.1°C to 33.9°C) at 72 hours to 38.0°C (37.5°C to 38.1°C) at 114 hours (P <0.001). In general, the cytokines and chemokines remained stable during hypothermia and decreased during rewarming, whereas complement activation was suppressed during the whole hypothermia period and increased modestly during rewarming. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged hypothermia may blunt the inflammatory response after rewarming in patients after cardiac arrest. Complement activation was low during the whole hypothermia period, indicating that complement activation is also highly temperature-sensitive in vivo. Because inflammation is a strong mediator of secondary brain injury, a blunted proinflammatory response after rewarming may be beneficial.

Abstract
More than 10 years ago, the randomised studies of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest showed significant improvement of neurological outcome and survival. Since then, it has become clear that most of the possible adverse events of therapeutic hypothermia are mild and can easily be controlled by proper administration of intensive care. Although implementation of this effective therapy is quite successful, many questions of the exact treatment protocol still remain unanswered. Therapeutic hypothermia treatment therefore must be tailored to the specific patient's needs. Hence, the exact level of target temperature, duration of cooling, rewarming, timing of the therapy and concomitant medication to facilitate therapeutic hypothermia will be important in the future. Additionally, the use of a post-resuscitation treatment bundle (specialised cardiac-arrest centres including intensive post-resuscitation care, appropriate haemodynamic and respiratory management, therapeutic hypothermia and percutaneous coronary intervention) could further improve treatment of cardiac arrest.

Neuroprotective effect of a formula, moschus combined with borneolum synthcticum, from traditional chinese medicine on ischemia stroke in rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2014; 2014:157938. [PMID: 24782904 PMCID: PMC3982284 DOI: 10.1155/2014/157938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2013] [Accepted: 02/22/2014] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Moschus compatible with borneolum synthcticum is a well-known herb pair in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the present study aims to assess the neuroprotective effect of a formula composed of this herb pair on ischemia stroke in rats. The middle cerebral artery occlusion model of focal cerebral ischemia in rat was performed by using intraluminal suture method. The behavioral scores, infarct volume, and neuron ultrastructure of model and formula-treated rats were investigated after the 2 h of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion. Meanwhile the expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-9, Bcl-2, and Bax were measured by western blot analysis. The formula treatment showed obvious neuroprotective effect according to significant decrease of the neurological scores (P < 0.01) and the infarct volumes (P < 0.05) when compared to the MCAO group. We also observed that this formula had antiapoptosis activity on neuron cell under electron microscope. Furthermore, our result supported the idea that pro- and postadministration of this formula had an antiapoptosis effect by decreasing remarkably the expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 (P < 0.05) as well as increasing significantly the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax (P < 0.01). All evidences demonstrated the neuroprotective effect of this formula on ischemia stroke due to decrease of brain infract volume and modulation of the expression of apoptosis-related proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Explosive traumatic injury to an extremity may lead to both local and distant organ injury. Regional traumatic tissue hypothermia has been reported to offer systemic protection; here we investigated the protective effects of regional limb hypothermia on local tissue trauma and the lungs. Furthermore, the optimal duration of regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment was also evaluated. DESIGN Prospective, controlled, animal study. SETTING University research laboratory. SUBJECTS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS Anesthetized rats were randomized to sham, blast limb trauma, sham and regional hypothermia for 30 minutes, and blast limb trauma and regional hypothermia for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 6 hours. Blast limb trauma was created using chartaceous electricity detonators. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Distant lung and local tissue injury following blast limb trauma were attenuated by regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 6 hours reflected by reduced lung histopathological changes and water content. Regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment for 60 minutes and 6 hours failed to further attenuate distant lung and local tissue injury compared with regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment for 30 minutes. Inhibition of cystathionine gamma-lyase/hydrogen sulfide was reduced by regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment for 30 minutes in blast limb trauma rats. A surrogate of neutrophil accumulation, myeloperoxidase activity, and release of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 were also attenuated by regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment for 30 minutes in blast limb trauma rats. Oxidative stress was alleviated by regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment for 30 minutes evidenced by reduction of hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde and an increase of superoxide dismutase and glutathione in blast limb trauma rats. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that regional traumatic limb hypothermic treatment for 30 minutes offers both local protection for traumatic tissue and systemic protection for the lungs, which is likely associated with restoration of the cystathionine gamma-lyase/hydrogen sulfide pathway and inhibition of the inflammatory response and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. At present, the only available treatment is thrombolysis, which should be initiated no later than 4.5 hours after onset of symptoms. Several studies have shown that an attenuation of the inflammatory response in relation to stroke could widen the therapeutic window. However, the immune system has important functions following infarction, such as removal of dead cells and the subsequent astrocytosis as well as prevention of post-ischemic infection. Hence, detailed knowledge concerning the temporal profile of leukocyte infiltration is necessary in order to develop new and effective treatments. The purpose of this review is to determine the temporal profile of leukocyte (neutrophil granulocytes, macrophages and T-cells) infiltration following experimental stroke. We found that the number of neutrophil granulocytes peaks between day 1 and 3 after experimental stroke, with short occlusion times (30 and 60 minutes of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)) leading to a later peak in response (P <0.001). Macrophages/microglia were found to peak later than day 3 and stay in the infarcted area for longer time periods, whereas duration of occlusion had no influence on the temporal infiltration (P = 0.475). Studies on T-cell infiltration are few; however, a tendency towards infiltration peak at later time points (from day 4 onwards) was seen. This review provides a framework for the instigation of post-stroke anti-inflammatory treatment, which could prove beneficial and widen the therapeutic window compared to current treatment options.

The neuroprotective effect of post ischemic brief mild hypothermic treatment correlates with apoptosis, but not with gliosis in endothelin-1 treated rats. BMC Neurosci 2012; 13:105.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke remains one of the most common diseases with a serious impact on quality of life but few effective treatments exist. Mild hypothermia (33°C) is a promising neuroprotective therapy in stroke management. This study investigated whether a delayed short mild hypothermic treatment is still beneficial as neuroprotective strategy in the endothelin-1 (Et-1) rat model for a transient focal cerebral ischemia. Two hours of mild hypothermia (33°C) was induced 20, 60 or 120 minutes after Et-1 infusion. During the experiment the cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured via Laser Doppler Flowmetry in the striatum, which represents the core of the infarct. Functional outcome and infarct volume were assessed 24 hours after the insult. In this sub-acute phase following stroke induction, the effects of the hypothermic treatment on apoptosis, phagocytosis and astrogliosis were assessed as well. Apoptosis was determined using caspase-3 immunohistochemistry, phagocytic cells were visualized by CD-68 expression and astrogliosis was studied by glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) staining. RESULTS Cooling could be postponed up to 1 hour after the onset of the insult without losing its positive effects on neurological deficit and infarct volume. These results correlated with the caspase-3 staining. In contrast, the increased CD-68 expression post-stroke was reduced in the core of the insult with all treatment protocols. Hypothermia also reduced the increased levels of GFAP staining, even when it was delayed up to 2 hours after the insult. The study confirmed that the induction of the hypothermia treatment in the Et-1 model does not affect the CBF. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that in the Et-1 rat model, a short mild hypothermic treatment delayed for 1 hour is still neuroprotective and correlates with apoptosis. At the same time, hypothermia also establishes a lasting inhibitory effect on the activation of astrogliosis.

Abstract
Used for over 3600 years, hypothermia, or targeted temperature management (TTM), remains an ill defined medical therapy. Currently, the strongest evidence for TTM in adults are for out-of-hospital ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest, intracerebral pressure control, and normothermia in the neurocritical care population. Even in these disease processes, a number of questions exist. Data on disease specific therapeutic markers, therapeutic depth and duration, and prognostication are limited. Despite ample experimental data, clinical evidence for stroke, refractory status epilepticus, hepatic encephalopathy, and intensive care unit is only at the safety and proof-of-concept stage. This review explores the deleterious nature of fever, the theoretical role of TTM in the critically ill, and summarizes the clinical evidence for TTM in adults.

Abstract
Both Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (AS) and Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (LC) have been used to treat stroke in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Ferulic acid (FA), a component in both AS and LC, plays a role in neuroprotection. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of FA on cerebral infarct and the involvement of neuroprotective pathway. Rats underwent 2 hours and 24 hours of reperfusion after 90 min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo). The cerebral infarct and neurological deficits were measured after 24 hours of reperfusion. Furthermore, the expression of superoxide radicals, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), myeloperoxidase (MPO), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) immunoreactive cells were assessed after 2 hours and 24 hours of reperfusion. Administration of 80 and 100 mg/kg of FA at the beginning of MCAo significantly reduced cerebral infarct and neurological deficit-score, similar results were obtained by 100 mg/kg of FA administered 30 min after MCAo. FA treatment (100 mg/kg i.v.) effectively suppressed superoxide radicals in the parenchyma lesion, and ICAM-1 immunoreactive vessels in the ischemic striatum after 2 hours of reperfusion. FA (100 mg/kg i.v.) reduced the expression of ICAM-1 and NF-κB in the ischemic cortex and striatum, also down-regulated MPO immunoreactive cells in the ischemic cortex after 24 hours of reperfusion. These results showed that the effect of FA on reducing cerebral infarct area and neurological deficit-score were at least partially attributed to the inhibition of superoxide radicals, ICAM-1 and NF-κB expression in transient MCAo rats.

Abstract
Numerous multiple trauma and surgical patients suffer from accidental hypothermia. While induced hypothermia is commonly used in elective cardiac surgery due to its protective effects, accidental hypothermia is associated with increased posttraumatic complications and even mortality in severely injured patients. This paper focuses on protective molecular mechanisms of hypothermia on apoptosis and the posttraumatic immune response. Although information regarding severe trauma is limited, there is evidence that induced hypothermia may have beneficial effects on the posttraumatic immune response as well as apoptosis in animal studies and certain clinical situations. However, more profound knowledge of mechanisms is necessary before randomized clinical trials in trauma patients can be initiated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermia is neuroprotective in experimental stroke and may extend the so far limited therapeutic time window for thrombolysis. Therefore, hypothermia of 34°C and its effects on delayed thrombolysis including reperfusion-associated injury were investigated in a model of thromboembolic stroke (TE). METHODS Male Wistar rats (n = 48) were subjected to TE. The following treatment groups were investigated: control group - normothermia (37°C); thrombolysis group - rt-PA 90 min after TE; hypothermia by 34°C applied 1.5 to 5 hours after TE; combination therapy- hypothermia and rt-PA. After 24 hours infarct size, brain edema and neuroscore were assessed. Protein markers for inflammation and adhesion, gelatinase activity, and blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption were determined. MRI-measurements investigated infarct evolution and blood flow parameters. RESULTS The infarct volume and brain swelling were smaller in the hypothermia group compared to the other groups (p < 0.05 to p < 0.01). Thrombolysis resulted in larger infarct and brain swelling than all others. Hypothermia in combination with thrombolysis reduced these parameters compared to thrombolysis (p < 0.05). Moreover, the neuroscore improved in the hypothermia group compared to control and thrombolysis. Animals of the combination therapy performed better than after thrombolysis alone (p < 0.05). Lower serum concentration of sICAM-1, and TIMP-1 were shown for hypothermia and combination therapy. Gelatinase activity was decreased by hypothermia in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic hypothermia reduced side-effects of rt-PA associated treatment and reperfusion in our model of TE.
