Hypothermia increases cold-inducible protein expression and improves cerebellar-dependent learning after hypoxia ischemia in the neonatal rat. Pediatr Res 2023; 94:539-546. [PMID: 36810641 PMCID: PMC10403381 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-023-02535-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy remains a significant cause of developmental disability.1,2 The standard of care for term infants is hypothermia, which has multifactorial effects.3-5 Therapeutic hypothermia upregulates the cold-inducible protein RNA binding motif 3 (RBM3) that is highly expressed in developing and proliferative regions of the brain.6,7 The neuroprotective effects of RBM3 in adults are mediated by its ability to promote the translation of mRNAs such as reticulon 3 (RTN3).8 METHODS: Hypoxia ischemia or control procedure was conducted in Sprague Dawley rat pups on postnatal day 10 (PND10). Pups were immediately assigned to normothermia or hypothermia at the end of the hypoxia. In adulthood, cerebellum-dependent learning was tested using the conditioned eyeblink reflex. The volume of the cerebellum and the magnitude of cerebral injury were measured. A second study quantified RBM3 and RTN3 protein levels in the cerebellum and hippocampus collected during hypothermia. RESULTS Hypothermia reduced cerebral tissue loss and protected cerebellar volume. Hypothermia also improved learning of the conditioned eyeblink response. RBM3 and RTN3 protein expression were increased in the cerebellum and hippocampus of rat pups subjected to hypothermia on PND10. CONCLUSIONS Hypothermia was neuroprotective in male and female pups and reversed subtle changes in the cerebellum after hypoxic ischemic. IMPACT Hypoxic ischemic produced tissue loss and a learning deficit in the cerebellum. Hypothermia reversed both the tissue loss and learning deficit. Hypothermia increased cold-responsive protein expression in the cerebellum and hippocampus. Our results confirm cerebellar volume loss contralateral to the carotid artery ligation and injured cerebral hemisphere, suggesting crossed-cerebellar diaschisis in this model. Understanding the endogenous response to hypothermia might improve adjuvant interventions and expand the clinical utility of this intervention.

Abstract
The overproduction of neurotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To determine the role of intracellular zinc ion (iZn2+) dysregulation in mediating Aβ-related neurotoxicity, this study aimed to investigate whether N, N, N', N'‑tetrakis (2‑pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN), a Zn2+‑specific chelator, could attenuate Aβ25-35‑induced neurotoxicity and the underlying mechanism. We used the 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay to measure the viability of primary hippocampal neurons. We also determined intracellular Zn2+ and Ca2+ concentrations, mitochondrial and lysosomal functions, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in hippocampal neurons using live-cell confocal imaging. We detected L-type voltage-gated calcium channel currents (L-ICa) in hippocampal neurons using the whole‑cell patch‑clamp technique. Furthermore, we measured the mRNA expression levels of proteins related to the iZn2+ buffer system (ZnT-3, MT-3) and voltage-gated calcium channels (Cav1.2, Cav1.3) in hippocampal neurons using RT-PCR. The results showed that TPEN attenuated Aβ25-35‑induced neuronal death, relieved the Aβ25-35‑induced increase in intracellular Zn2+ and Ca2+ concentrations; reversed the Aβ25-35‑induced increase in ROS content, the Aβ25-35‑induced increase in the L-ICa peak amplitude at different membrane potentials, the Aβ25-35‑induced the dysfunction of the mitochondria and lysosomes, and the Aβ25-35‑induced decrease in ZnT-3 and MT-3 mRNA expressions; and increased the Cav1.2 mRNA expression in the hippocampal neurons. These results suggest that TPEN, the Zn2+-specific chelator, attenuated Aβ25-35‑induced neuronal damage, correlating with the recovery of intracellular Zn2+ and modulation of abnormal Ca2+-related signaling pathways.

Mild therapeutic hypothermia protects against inflammatory and proapoptotic processes in the rat model of cochlear implant trauma. Hear Res 2023; 428:108680. [PMID: 36586170 PMCID: PMC9840707 DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2022.108680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
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.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has applications dating back millennia. In modern history, however, TH saw its importation into medical practice where investigations have demonstrated that TH is efficacious in ischemic insults, notably cardiac arrest and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. As well, studies have been undertaken to investigate whether TH can provide benefit in focal stroke (i.e., focal ischemia and intracerebral hemorrhage). However, clinical studies have encountered various challenges with induction and maintenance of post-stroke TH. Most clinical studies have attempted to use body-wide cooling protocols, commonly hindered by side effects that can worsen post-stroke outcomes. Some of the complications and difficulties with systemic TH can be circumvented by using local hypothermia (LH) methods. Additional advantages include the potential for lower target temperatures to be achieved and faster TH induction rates with LH. This systematic review summarizes the body of clinical and preclinical LH focal stroke studies and raises key points to consider for future LH research. We conclude with an overview of LH neuroprotective mechanisms and a comparison of LH mechanisms with those observed with systemic TH. Overall, whereas many LH studies have been conducted preclinically in the context of focal ischemia, insufficient work has been done in intracerebral hemorrhage. Furthermore, key translational studies have yet to be done in either stroke subtype (e.g., varied models and time-to-treat, studies considering aged animals or animals with co-morbidities). Few clinical LH investigations have been performed and the optimal LH parameters to achieve neuroprotection are unknown.

Abstract
The susceptibility of the brain to ischaemic injury dramatically limits its viability following interruptions in blood flow. However, data from studies of dissociated cells, tissue specimens, isolated organs and whole bodies have brought into question the temporal limits within which the brain is capable of tolerating prolonged circulatory arrest. This Review assesses cell type-specific mechanisms of global cerebral ischaemia, and examines the circumstances in which the brain exhibits heightened resilience to injury. We suggest strategies for expanding such discoveries to fuel translational research into novel cytoprotective therapies, and describe emerging technologies and experimental concepts. By doing so, we propose a new multimodal framework to investigate brain resuscitation following extended periods of circulatory arrest.

Abstract
To understand the role of intracellular zinc ion (Zn2+) dysregulation in mediating age-related neurodegenerative changes, particularly neurotoxicity resulting from the generation of excessive neurotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, this study aimed to investigate whether N, N, N', N'-tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN), a Zn2+-specific chelator, could attenuate Aβ25-35-induced neurotoxicity and the underlying electrophysiological mechanism. We used the 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay to measure the viability of hippocampal neurons and performed single-cell confocal imaging to detect the concentration of Zn2+ in these neurons. Furthermore, we used the whole-cell patch-clamp technique to detect the evoked repetitive action potential (APs), the voltage-gated sodium and potassium (K+) channels of primary hippocampal neurons. The analysis showed that TPEN attenuated Aβ25-35-induced neuronal death, reversed the Aβ25-35-induced increase in intracellular Zn2+ concentration and the frequency of APs, inhibited the increase in the maximum current density of voltage-activated sodium channel currents induced by Aβ25-35, relieved the Aβ25-35-induced decrease in the peak amplitude of transient outward K+ currents (IA) and outward-delayed rectifier K+ currents (IDR) at different membrane potentials, and suppressed the steady-state activation and inactivation curves of IA shifted toward the hyperpolarization direction caused by Aβ25-35. These results suggest that Aβ25-35-induced neuronal damage correlated with Zn2+ dysregulation mediated the electrophysiological changes in the voltage-gated sodium and K+ channels. Moreover, Zn2+-specific chelator-TPEN attenuated Aβ25-35-induced neuronal damage by recovering the intracellular Zn2+ concentration.

Abstract
A network of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain innerve the forebrain and are proposed to contribute to a variety of functions including cortical plasticity, attention, and sensorimotor behavior. This study examined the contribution of the nucleus basalis cholinergic projection to the sensorimotor cortex on recovery on a skilled reach-to-eat task following photothrombotic stroke in the forelimb region of the somatosensory cortex. Mice were trained to perform a single pellet skilled reaching task and their pre and poststroke performance, from Day 4 to Day 28 poststroke, was assessed frame-by-frame by video analysis with endpoint, movement and sensorimotor integration measures. Somatosensory forelimb lesions produced impairments in endpoint and movement component measures of reaching and increased the incidence of fictive eating, a sensory impairment in mistaking a missed reach for a successful reach. Upregulated acetylcholine (ACh) release, as measured by local field potential recording, elicited via optogenetic stimulation of the nucleus basalis improved recovery of reaching and improved movement scores but did not affect sensorimotor integration impairment poststroke. The results show that the mouse cortical forelimb somatosensory region contributes to forelimb motor behavior and suggest that ACh upregulation could serve as an adjunct to behavioral therapy for acute treatment of stroke.

Abstract
It has been reported that valproic acid (VPA) combined with therapeutic hypothermia can improve survival and neurologic outcomes in a rat asphyxial cardiac arrest model. However, neuroprotective mechanisms of such combined treatment of valproic acid with hypothermia remains unclear. We hypothesized that epigenetic regulation of HSP70 by histone acetylation could increase HSP70-mediated neuroprotection suppressed under hypothermia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats that achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) from asphyxial cardiac arrest were randomized to four groups: normothermia (37°C ± 1°C), hypothermia (33°C ± 1°C), normothermia + VPA (300 mg/kg IV initiated 5 minutes post-ROSC and infused over 20 min), and hypothermia + VPA. Three hours after ROSC, acetyl-histone H3 was highly expressed in VPA-administered groups (normothermia + VPA, hypothermia + VPA). Four hours after ROSC, HSP70 mRNA expression levels were significantly higher in normothermic groups (normothermia, normothermia + VPA) than in hypothermic groups (hypothermia, hypothermia + VPA). The hypothermia + VPA group showed significantly higher HSP70 mRNA expression than the hypothermia group. Similarly, at five hours after ROSC, HSP70 protein levels were significantly higher in normothermic groups than in hypothermic groups. HSP70 levels were significantly higher in the hypothermia + VPA group than in the hypothermia group. Only the hypothermia + VPA group showed significantly attenuated cleaved caspase-9 levels than the normothermia group. Hypothermia can attenuate the expression of HSP70 at transcriptional level. However, VPA administration can induce hyperacetylation of histone H3, leading to epigenetic transcriptional activation of HSP70 even in a hypothermic status. Combining VPA treatment with hypothermia may compensate for reduced activation of HSP70-mediated anti-apoptotic pathway.

Abstract
The basal level of extracellular Zn2+ is in the range of low nanomolar (~ 10 nM) in the hippocampus. However, extracellular Zn2+ dynamics plays a key role for not only cognitive activity but also cognitive decline. Extracellular Zn2+ dynamics is modified by glutamatergic synapse excitation and the presence of amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42), a causative peptide in Alzheimer's disease (AD). When human Aβ1-42 reaches high picomolar (> 100 pM) in the extracellular compartment of the rat dentate gyrus, Zn-Aβ1-42 complexes are readily formed and taken up into dentate granule cells, followed by Aβ1-42-induced cognitive decline that is linked with Zn2+ released from intracellular Zn-Aβ1-42 complexes. Aβ1-42-induced intracellular Zn2+ toxicity is accelerated with aging because of age-related increase in extracellular Zn2+. The recent findings suggest that Aβ1-42 secreted continuously from neuron terminals causes age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration via intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation. On the other hand, metallothioneins (MTs), zinc-binding proteins, quickly serve for intracellular Zn2+-buffering under acute intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation. On the basis of the idea that the defense strategy against Aβ1-42-induced pathogenesis leads to preventing the AD development, this review deals with extracellular Zn2+-dependent Aβ1-42 neurotoxicity, which is accelerated with aging.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia is now well established to partially reduce disability in term and near-term infants with moderate-severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Preclinical and clinical studies have confirmed that current protocols for therapeutic hypothermia are near optimal. The challenge is now to identify complementary therapies that can further improve outcomes, in combination with therapeutic hypothermia. Overall, anti-excitatory and anti-apoptotic agents have shown variable or even no benefit in combination with hypothermia, suggesting overlapping mechanisms of neuroprotection. Inflammation appears to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of injury in the neonatal brain, and thus, there is potential for drugs with immunomodulatory properties that target inflammation to be used as a therapy in neonates. In this review, we examine the evidence for neuroprotection with immunomodulation after hypoxia-ischemia. For example, stem cell therapy can reduce inflammation, increase cell survival, and promote cell maturation and repair. There are also encouraging preclinical data from small animals suggesting that stem cell therapy can augment hypothermic neuroprotection. However, there is conflicting evidence, and rigorous testing in translational animal models is now needed.

Cuprizone Affects Hypothermia-Induced Neuroprotection and Enhanced Neuroblast Differentiation in the Gerbil Hippocampus after Ischemia. Cells 2020; 9:cells9061438. [PMID: 32531881 PMCID: PMC7349804 DOI: 10.3390/cells9061438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the effects of cuprizone on cell death, glial activation, and neuronal plasticity induced by hypothermia after ischemia in gerbils. Food was supplemented with cuprizone at 0.2% ad libitum for eight weeks. At six weeks after diet feeing, gerbils received transient forebrain ischemia with or without hypothermic preconditioning. Cuprizone treatment for 8 weeks increased the number of astrocytes, microglia, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in the hippocampus. In addition, cuprizone treatment significantly decreased the number of proliferating cells and neuroblasts in the dentate gyrus. Brain ischemia caused cell death, disruption of myelin basic proteins, and reactive gliosis in CA1. In addition, ischemia significantly increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and the number of proliferating cells and differentiating neuroblasts in the dentate gyrus. In contrast, hypothermic conditioning attenuated these changes in CA1 and the dentate gyrus. However, cuprizone treatment decreased cell survival induced by hypothermic preconditioning after ischemia and increased the number of reactive microglia and astrocytes in CA1 as well as that of macrophages in the subcallosal zone. These changes occurred because the protective effect of hypothermia in ischemic damage was disrupted by cuprizone administration. Furthermore, cuprizone decreased ischemia-induced proliferating cells and neuroblasts in the dentate gyrus.

Atsushi T, Tamano H. New insight into Parkinson's disease pathogenesis from reactive oxygen species-mediated extracellular Zn 2+ influx. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2020; 61:126545. [PMID: 32438294 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2020.126545] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 04/07/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is the common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, which is caused by selective loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons. Oxidative stress induced by the auto-oxidation of dopamine has been implicated as a key cause of the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons. METHODS To understand the selective loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons, the PD pathogenesis is reviewed focused on paraquat (PQ) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD in rats. RESULTS Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are produced by PQ and 6-OHDA, are retrogradely transported to presynaptic glutamatergic neuron terminals. ROS activate presynaptic transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) cation channels and induce extracellular glutamate accumulation in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), followed by age-related intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation. Loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons is accelerated by age-related intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in the SNpc of rat PD models. The intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in nigral dopaminergic neurons is linked with the rapid influx of extracellular Zn2+ via postsynaptic AMPA receptor activation, suggesting that PQ- and 6-OHDA-induced pathogenesis is linked with age-related intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in the SNpc. Postsynaptic TRPM2 channels may be also involved in intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in the SNpc. CONCLUSION A novel mechanism of nigral dopaminergic degeneration, in which ROS induce rapid intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation, figures out the PD pathogenesis induced by PQ and 6-OHDA in rats. This review deals with new insight into PD pathogenesis from ROS-mediated extracellular Zn2+ influx and its proposed defense strategy.

Abstract
Brain is one of the most temperature sensitive organs. Besides the fundamental role of temperature in cellular metabolism, thermal response of neuronal populations is also significant during the evolution of various neurodegenerative diseases. For such critical environmental factor, thorough mapping of cellular response to variations in temperature is desired in the living brain. So far, limited efforts have been made to create complex devices that are able to modulate temperature, and concurrently record multiple features of the stimulated region. In our work, the in vivo application of a multimodal photonic neural probe is demonstrated. Optical, thermal, and electrophysiological functions are monolithically integrated in a single device. The system facilitates spatial and temporal control of temperature distribution at high precision in the deep brain tissue through an embedded infrared waveguide, while it provides recording of the artefact-free electrical response of individual cells at multiple locations along the probe shaft. Spatial distribution of the optically induced temperature changes is evaluated through in vitro measurements and a validated multi-physical model. The operation of the multimodal microdevice is demonstrated in the rat neocortex and in the hippocampus to increase or suppress firing rate of stimulated neurons in a reversible manner using continuous wave infrared light (λ = 1550 nm). Our approach is envisioned to be a promising candidate as an advanced experimental toolset to reveal thermally evoked responses in the deep neural tissue.

Abstract
The basal concentrations of extracellular Zn2+ and intracellular Zn2+, which are approximately 10 nM and 100 pM, respectively, in the brain, are markedly lower than those of extracellular Ca2+ (1.3 mM) and intracellular Ca2+ (100 nM), respectively, resulting in much less attention paid to Zn2+ than to Ca2+. However, intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation, which is closely linked with glutamate- and amyloid β-mediated extracellular Zn2+ influx, is more critical for cognitive decline and neurodegeneration than intracellular Ca2+ dysregulation. It is estimated that the age-dependent increase in the basal concentration of extracellular Zn2+ in the hippocampus plays a key role in cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. The characteristics of extracellular Zn2+ influx in the hippocampus may be modified age-dependently, probably followed by modification of intracellular Zn2+ buffering that is closely linked with age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Reduction of intracellular Zn2+-buffering capacity may be linked with the pathophysiology of progressive neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer's disease. This paper deals with age-dependent modification of intracellular Zn2+ buffering in the hippocampus and its impact. On the basis of the estimated impact, we propose a potential defense strategy against Zn2+-mediated neurodegeneration, i.e., metallothionein induction in the hippocampus.

Mild hypothermia protects synaptic transmission from experimental ischemia through reduction in the function of nucleoside transporters in the mouse hippocampus. Neuropharmacology 2019; 163:107853.

Abstract
Ischemia, a severe metabolic stress, increases adenosine levels and causes the suppression of synaptic transmission through adenosine A1 receptors. Although temperature also regulates extracellular adenosine levels, the effect of temperature on ischemia-induced activation of adenosine receptors is not yet fully understood. Here we examined the role of adenosine A1 receptors in mild hypothermia-mediated neuroprotection during the acute phase of ischemia. Severe ischemia-induced neurosynaptic impairment was reproduced by oxygen-glucose deprivation at normothermia (36 °C) and assessed with extracellular recordings or whole-cell patch clamp recordings in acute hippocampal slices in mice. Mild hypothermia (32 °C) induced the protection of synaptic transmission by activating adenosine A1 receptors. Stricter hypothermia (28 °C) caused additional neuroprotective effects by extending the onset time to anoxic depolarization; however, this effect was not associated with adenosine A1 receptors. The response of exogenous adenosine-induced inhibition of hippocampal synaptic transmission was increased by lowering the temperature to 32 °C or 28 °C. Hypothermia also reduced the function of dipryidamole-sensitive nucleoside transporters. These findings suggest that an increased response of adenosine A1 receptors, caused by a reduction in the function of nucleoside transporters, is one mechanism by which therapeutic hypothermia (usually used within the mild range) mediates neurosynaptic protection in the acute phase of stroke.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a potent neuroprotectant against multiple forms of brain injury, but in some cases, prolonged cooling is needed. Such cooling protocols raise the risk that TH will directly or indirectly impact neuroplasticity, such as after global and focal cerebral ischemia or traumatic brain injury. TH, depending on the depth and duration, has the potential to broadly affect brain plasticity, especially given the spatial, temporal, and mechanistic overlap with the injury processes that cooling is used to treat. Here, we review the current experimental and clinical evidence to evaluate whether application of TH has any adverse or positive effects on postinjury plasticity. The limited available data suggest that mild TH does not appear to have any deleterious effect on neuroplasticity; however, we emphasize the need for additional high-quality preclinical and clinical work in this area.

Abstract
Hypothermia therapy is an old and important method of neuroprotection. Until now, many neurological diseases such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, intracranial pressure elevation, subarachnoid hemorrhage, spinal cord injury, hepatic encephalopathy, and neonatal peripartum encephalopathy have proven to be suppressed by therapeutic hypothermia. Beneficial effects of therapeutic hypothermia have also been discovered, and progress has been made toward improving the benefits of therapeutic hypothermia further through combination with other neuroprotective treatments and by probing the mechanism of hypothermia neuroprotection. In this review, we compare different hypothermia induction methods and provide a summarized account of the synergistic effect of hypothermia therapy with other neuroprotective treatments, along with an overview of hypothermia neuroprotection mechanisms and cold/hypothermia-induced proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Therapeutic interventions to improve the efficacy of whole-body cooling for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are desirable. Topiramate has been effective in reducing brain damage in experimental studies. However, in the clinical setting information is limited to a small number of feasibility trials. We launched a randomized controlled double-blinded topiramate/placebo multicenter trial with the primary objective being to reduce the antiepileptic activity in cooled neonates with HIE and assess if brain damage would be reduced as a consequence. STUDY DESIGN Neonates were randomly assigned to topiramate or placebo at the initiation of hypothermia. Topiramate was administered via a nasogastric tube. Brain electric activity was continuously monitored. Topiramate pharmacokinetics, energy-related and Krebs' cycle intermediates, and lipid peroxidation biomarkers were determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and MRI for assessing brain damage. RESULTS Out of 180 eligible patients 110 were randomized, 57 (51.8%) to topiramate and 53 (48.2%) to placebo. No differences in the perinatal or postnatal variables were found. The topiramate group exhibited less seizure burden in the first 24 h of hypothermia (topiramate, n = 14 [25.9%] vs. placebo, n = 22 [42%]); needed less additional medication, and had lower mortality (topiramate, n = 5 [9.2%] vs. placebo, n = 10 [19.2%]); however, these results did not achieve statistical significance. Topiramate achieved a therapeutic range in 37.5 and 75.5% of the patients at 24 and 48 h, respectively. A significant association between serum topiramate levels and seizure activity (p < 0.016) was established. No differences for oxidative stress, energy-related metabolites, or MRI were found. CONCLUSIONS Topiramate reduced seizures in patients achieving therapeutic levels in the first hours after treatment initiation; however, they represented only a part of the study population. Our results warrant further studies with higher loading and maintenance dosing of topiramate.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia has consistently been shown to be a robust neuroprotectant in many labs studying different models of neurological disease. Although this therapy has shown great promise, there are still challenges at the clinical level that limit the ability to apply this routinely to each pathological condition. In order to overcome issues involved in hypothermia therapy, understanding of this attractive therapy is needed. We review methodological concerns surrounding therapeutic hypothermia, introduce the current status of therapeutic cooling in various acute brain insults, and review the literature surrounding the many underlying molecular mechanisms of hypothermic neuroprotection. Because recent work has shown that body temperature can be safely lowered using pharmacological approaches, this method may be an especially attractive option for many clinical applications. Since hypothermia can affect multiple aspects of brain pathophysiology, therapeutic hypothermia could also be considered a neuroprotection model in basic research, which would be used to identify potential therapeutic targets. We discuss how research in this area carries the potential to improve outcome from various acute neurological disorders.

Abstract
The basal levels of extracellular Zn2+ are in the range of low nanomolar concentrations in the hippocampus and perhaps increase age-dependently. Extracellular Zn2+ dynamics is critical for cognitive activity and excess influx of extracellular Zn2+ into hippocampal neurons is a known cause of cognitive decline. The dentate gyrus is vulnerable to aging in the hippocampus and affected in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The reasons remain unclear. Neurogenesis-related apoptosis may induce non-specific neuronal depolarization by efflux of intracellular K+ in the dentate gyrus and be markedly increased along with aging. Extracellular Zn2+ influx into dentate granule cells via high K+-induced perforant pathway excitation leads to cognitive decline. Modified extracellular Zn2+ dynamics in the dentate gyrus of aged rats is linked with vulnerability to cognitive decline. Amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42) is a causative candidate for AD pathogenesis. When Aβ1-42 concentration reaches picomolar in the extracellular compartment in the dentate gyrus, Zn-Aβ1-42 is formed in the extracellular compartment and rapidly taken up into dentate granule cells, followed by Aβ1-42-induced cognitive decline that is due to Zn2+ released from Aβ1-42, suggesting that dentate granule cells are sensitive to extracellular Zn2+-dependent Aβ1-42 toxicity. This paper deals with proposed vulnerability of the dentate gyrus to aging and Aβ1-42 neurotoxicity.

Abstract
The herbicide paraquat (PQ) has been reported to enhance the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) from epidemiological studies. PQ-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) are linked with a selective loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Here, we first report a unique mechanism of nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration, in which rapid intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation via PQ-induced ROS production causes PD in rats. When the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) of rats was perfused with PQ, extracellular concentrations of glutamate and Zn2+ were increased and decreased, respectively, in the SNpc. These changes were ameliorated by co-perfusion with Trolox, an antioxidative agent. In in vitro slice experiments, PQ rapidly increased extracellular Zn2+ influx via AMPA receptor activation. Both loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and increase in turning behavior in response to apomorphine were markedly reduced by coinjection of PQ and intracellular Zn2+ chelator, i.e., ZnAF-2DA into the SNpc. Furthermore, loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons induced with a low dose of PQ, which did not induce any behavioral abnormality, was completely blocked by coinjection of ZnAF-2DA. The present study indicates that rapid influx of extracellular Zn2+ into dopaminergic neurons via AMPA receptor activation, which is initially induced by PQ-mediated ROS production in the SNpc, induces nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration, resulting in PQ-induced PD in rats. Intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation in dopaminergic neurons is the cause of PQ-induced pathogenesis in the SNpc, and the block of intracellular Zn2+ toxicity leads to defending PQ-induced pathogenesis.

Abstract
On the basis of the findings that the rapid influx of extracellular Zn2+ into nigral dopaminergic neurons causes dopaminergic neurodegeneration, here we report that AMPA causes movement disorder in rats. AMPA markedly increased turning behavior in response to apomorphine 1 and 2 weeks after AMPA injection into the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), while AMPA-induced movement disorder was suppressed by co-injection of intracellular Zn2+ chelators, i.e., ZnAF-2DA and TPEN, suggesting that AMPA-induced movement disorder is due to intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation. Furthermore, AMPA markedly induced loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons 2 weeks after AMPA injection into the SNpc, while AMPA-induced neurodegeneration was also suppressed in the SNpc and the striatum by co-injection of ZnAF-2DA and TPEN. AMPA rapidly increased nigral intracellular Zn2+ after AMPA injection into the SNpc and this increase was blocked by co-injection of TPEN. These results indicate that AMPA receptor activation rapidly increases influx of extracellular Zn2+ into nigral dopaminergic neurons and causes nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration, resulting in movement disorder in rats. The evidence that AMPA-induced intracellular Zn2+ dysregulation causes movement disorder via nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration suggests that AMPA receptors, probably Ca2+- and Zn2+-permeable GluR2-lacking AMPA receptors are potential targets for overcoming Parkinson's syndrome.

Extracellular Zn 2+ Influx into Nigral Dopaminergic Neurons Plays a Key Role for Pathogenesis of 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Parkinson's Disease in Rats. Mol Neurobiol 2018; 56:435-443.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disease characterized by a selective loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The exact cause of the neuronal loss remains unclear. Here, we report a unique mechanism of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration, in which extracellular Zn2+ influx plays a key role for PD pathogenesis induced with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in rats. 6-OHDA rapidly increased intracellular Zn2+ only in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) of brain slices and this increase was blocked in the presence of CaEDTA, an extracellular Zn2+ chelator, and 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX), an α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) receptor antagonist, indicating that 6-OHDA rapidly increases extracellular Zn2+ influx via AMPA receptor activation in the SNpc. Extracellular Zn2+ concentration was decreased under in vivo SNpc perfusion with 6-OHDA and this decrease was blocked by co-perfusion with CNQX, supporting 6-OHDA-induced Zn2+ influx via AMPA receptor activation in the SNpc. Interestingly, both 6-OHDA-induced loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and turning behavior to apomorphine were ameliorated by co-injection of intracellular Zn2+ chelators, i.e., ZnAF-2DA and N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN). Co-injection of TPEN into the SNpc blocked 6-OHDA-induced increase in intracellular Zn2+ but not in intracellular Ca2+. These results suggest that the rapid influx of extracellular Zn2+ into dopaminergic neurons via AMPA receptor activation in the SNpc induces nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration, resulting in 6-OHDA-induced PD in rats.

Abstract
The basal levels of extracellular Zn2+ are in the range of low nanomolar concentrations and less attention has been paid to Zn2+, compared to Ca2+, for synaptic activity. However, extracellular Zn2+ is necessary for synaptic activity. The basal levels of extracellular zinc are age-dependently increased in the rat hippocampus, implying that the basal levels of extracellular Zn2+ are also increased age-dependently and that extracellular Zn2+ dynamics are linked with age-related cognitive function and dysfunction. In the hippocampus, the influx of extracellular Zn2+ into postsynaptic neurons, which is often linked with Zn2+ release from neuron terminals, is critical for cognitive activity via long-term potentiation (LTP). In contrast, the excess influx of extracellular Zn2+ into postsynaptic neurons induces cognitive decline. Interestingly, the excess influx of extracellular Zn2+ more readily occurs in aged dentate granule cells and intracellular Zn2+-buffering, which is assessed with ZnAF-2DA, is weakened in the aged dentate granule cells. Characteristics (easiness) of extracellular Zn2+ influx seem to be linked with the weakened intracellular Zn2+-buffering in the aged dentate gyrus. This paper deals with the impact of synaptic Zn2+ signaling on cognition and its decline in comparison with synaptic Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia, or cooling of the body or brain for the purposes of preserving organ viability, is one of the most robust neuroprotectants at both the preclinical and clinical levels. Although therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome from related clinical conditions, the significance in ischemic stroke is still under investigation. Numerous pre-clinical studies of therapeutic hypothermia has suggested optimal cooling conditions, such as depth, duration, and temporal therapeutic window for effective neuroprotection. Several studies have also explored mechanisms underlying the mechanisms of neuroprotection by therapeutic hypothermia. As such, it appears that cooling affects multiple aspects of brain pathophysiology, and regulates almost every pathway involved in the evolution of ischemic stroke. This multifaceted mechanism is thought to contribute to its strong neuroprotective effect. In order to carry out this therapy in optimal clinical settings, methodological and pathophysiological understanding is crucial. However, more investigation is still needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of this intervention, and to overcome clinical barriers which seem to preclude the routine use therapeutic hypothermia in stroke. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled 'Cerebral Ischemia'.

Abstract
Physiological significance of synaptic Zn2+ signaling was examined at perforant pathway-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses. In vivo long-term potentiation (LTP) at perforant pathway-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses was induced using a recording electrode attached to a microdialysis probe and the recording region was locally perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) via the microdialysis probe. Perforant pathway LTP was not attenuated under perfusion with CaEDTA (10 mM), an extracellular Zn2+ chelator, but attenuated under perfusion with ZnAF-2DA (50 μM), an intracellular Zn2+ chelator, suggesting that intracellular Zn2+ signaling is required for perforant pathway LTP. Even in rat brain slices bathed in CaEDTA in ACSF, intracellular Zn2+ level, which was measured with intracellular ZnAF-2, was increased in the stratum lacunosum-moleculare where perforant pathway-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses were contained after tetanic stimulation. These results suggest that intracellular Zn2+ signaling, which originates in internal stores/proteins, is involved in LTP at perforant pathway-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses. Because the influx of extracellular Zn2+ , which originates in presynaptic Zn2+ release, is involved in LTP at Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses, synapse-dependent Zn2+ dynamics may be involved in plasticity of postsynaptic CA1 pyramidal cells.

Maintained LTP and Memory Are Lost by Zn 2+ Influx into Dentate Granule Cells, but Not Ca 2+ Influx. Mol Neurobiol 2017; 55:1498-1508.

Abstract
The idea that maintained LTP and memory are lost by either increase in intracellular Zn2+ in dentate granule cells or increase in intracellular Ca2+ was examined to clarify significance of the increases induced by excess synapse excitation. Both maintained LTP and space memory were impaired by injection of high K+ into the dentate gyrus, but rescued by co-injection of CaEDTA, which blocked high K+-induced increase in intracellular Zn2+ but not high K+-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+. High K+-induced disturbances of LTP and intracellular Zn2+ are rescued by co-injection of 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxakine-2,3-dione, an α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) receptor antagonist, but not by co-injection of blockers of NMDA receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptors, and voltage-dependent calcium channels. Furthermore, AMPA impaired maintained LTP and the impairment was also rescued by co-injection of CaEDTA, which blocked increase in intracellular Zn2+, but not increase in intracellular Ca2+. NMDA and glucocorticoid, which induced Zn2+ release from the internal stores, did not impair maintained LTP. The present study indicates that increase in Zn2+ influx into dentate granule cells through AMPA receptors loses maintained LTP and memory. Regulation of Zn2+ influx into dentate granule cells is more critical for not only memory acquisition but also memory retention than that of Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
The application of targeted temperature management has become common practice in the neurocritical care setting. It is important to recognize the pathophysiologic mechanisms by which temperature control impacts acute neurologic injury, as well as the clinical limitations to its application. Nonetheless, when utilizing temperature modulation, an organized approach is required in order to avoid complications and minimize side-effects. The most common clinically relevant complications are related to the impact of cooling on hemodynamics and electrolytes. In both instances, the rate of complications is often related to the depth and rate of cooling or rewarming. Shivering is the most common side-effect of hypothermia and is best managed by adequate monitoring and stepwise administration of medications specifically targeting the shivering response. Due to the impact cooling can have upon pharmacokinetics of commonly used sedatives and analgesics, there can be significant delays in the return of the neurologic examination. As a result, early prognostication posthypothermia should be avoided.

Abstract
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death, yet effective treatments for acute stroke has been very limited. Thus far, tissue plasminogen activator has been the only FDA-approved drug for thrombolytic treatment of ischemic stroke patients, yet its application is only applicable to less than 4–5% of stroke patients due to the narrow therapeutic window (< 4.5 hours after the onset of stroke) and the high risk of hemorrhagic transformation. Emerging evidence from basic and clinical studies has shown that therapeutic hypothermia, also known as targeted temperature management, can be a promising therapy for patients with different types of stroke. Moreover, the success in animal models using pharmacologically induced hypothermia (PIH) has gained increasing momentum for clinical translation of hypothermic therapy. This review provides an updated overview of the mechanisms and protective effects of therapeutic hypothermia, as well as the recent development and findings behind PIH treatment. It is expected that a safe and effective hypothermic therapy has a high translational potential for clinical treatment of patients with stroke and other CNS injuries.

Abstract
Hippocampal Zn2+ homeostasis is critical for cognitive activity and hippocampus-dependent memory. Extracellular Zn2+ signaling is linked to extracellular glutamate signaling and leads to intracellular Zn2+ signaling, which is involved in cognitive activity. On the other hand, excess intracellular Zn2+ signaling that is induced by excess glutamate signaling is involved in cognitive decline. In the hippocampal formation, the dentate gyrus is the most vulnerable to aging and is thought to contribute to age-related cognitive decline. The layer II of the entorhinal cortex is the most vulnerable to neuronal death in Alzheimer's disease. The perforant pathway provides input from the layer II to the dentate gyrus and is one of the earliest affected pathways in Alzheimer's disease. Medial perforant pathway-dentate granule cell synapses are vulnerable to either excess intracellular Zn2+ or β-amyloid (Aβ)-bound zinc, which induce transient cognitive decline via attenuation of medial perforant pathway LTP. However, it is unknown whether the vulnerability to excess intracellular Zn2+ is involved in region-specific vulnerability to aging and Alzheimer's disease. To discover a strategy to prevent short-term cognitive decline in normal aging process and the pre-dementia stage of Alzheimer's disease, the present paper deals with vulnerability of medial perforant pathway-dentate granule cell synapses to intracellular Zn2+ dyshomeostasis and its possible involvement in differential vulnerability to aging and Alzheimer's disease in the hippocampal formation.

Abstract
Bloodletting at Jing points has been used to treat coma in traditional Chinese medicine. Mild induced hypothermia has also been shown to have neuroprotective effects. However, the therapeutic effects of bloodletting at Jing points and mild induced hypothermia alone are limited. Therefore, we investigated whether combined treatment might have clinical effectiveness for the treatment of acute severe traumatic brain injury. Using a rat model of traumatic brain injury, combined treatment substantially alleviated cerebral edema and blood-brain barrier dysfunction. Furthermore, neurological function was ameliorated, and cellular necrosis and the inflammatory response were lessened. These findings suggest that the combined effects of bloodletting at Jing points (20 μL, twice a day, for 2 days) and mild induced hypothermia (6 hours) are better than their individual effects alone. Their combined application may have marked neuroprotective effects in the clinical treatment of acute severe traumatic brain injury.

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
INTRODUCTION Many single-center studies and meta-analyses demonstrate that therapeutic hypothermia (TH), in which the body temperature is maintained at 32-35°C, exerts significant neuroprotection and attenuates secondary intracranial hypertension after traumatic brain injury (TBI). In 2015, two well-designed multi-center, randomized controlled trials were published that did not show favorable outcomes with the use of TH in adult patients with TBI compared to normothermia treatment (NT). Therefore, we performed an updated meta-analysis to assess the effect of TH in adult patients with TBI. METHODS We reviewed the PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Databases. We included randomized controlled trials that compared TH and NT in adult patients with TBI. Two reviewers assessed the quality of each study and independently collected the data. We performed the meta-analysis using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS We included 18 trials involving 2177 patients with TBI. There was no significant heterogeneity among the studies. TH could not decrease mortality at 3 months post-TBI (RR 0.95; 95 % CI 0.59, 1.55; z = 0.19, P = 0.85) or 6 months post-TBI (RR 0.96; 95 % CI 0.76, 1.23; z = 0.29, P = 0.77). There were no significant differences in unfavorable clinical outcomes when TH was compared to NT at 3 months post-TBI (RR 0.79; 95 % CI 0.56, 1.12; z = 1.31, P = 0.19) or 6 months post-TBI (RR 0.80; 95 % CI 0.63, 1.00; z = 1.92, P = 0.05). TH was associated with a significant increase in pneumonia (RR 1.51; 95 % CI 1.12, 2.03; z = 2.72, P = 0.006) and cardiovascular complications (RR 1.75; 95% CI 1.14, 2.70; z = 2.54, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic hypothermia failed to demonstrate a decrease in mortality and unfavorable clinical outcomes at 3 or 6 months post-TBI. Additionally, TH might increase the risk of developing pneumonia and cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Objective Pharmacoresistance develops quickly during repetitive seizures, and refractory status epilepticus (RSE) remains a therapeutic challenge. The outcome of RSE is poor, with high mortality and morbidity. New treatments are needed. Deep hypothermia (20°C) is used clinically during reconstructive cardiac surgery and neurosurgery, and has proved safe and effective in those indications. We tested the hypothesis that deep hypothermia reduces RSE and its long‐term consequences. Methods We used a model of SE induced by lithium and pilocarpine and refractory to midazolam. Several EEG measures were recorded in both hypothermic (n = 17) and normothermic (n = 20) animals. Neuronal injury (by Fluoro‐Jade B), cell‐mediated inflammation, and breakdown of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) (by immunohistochemistry) were studied 48 h following SE onset. Results Normothermic rats in RSE seized for 4.1 ± 1.1 h, and at 48 h they displayed extensive neuronal injury in many brain regions, including hippocampus, dentate gyrus, amygdala, entorhinal and pyriform cortices, thalamus, caudate/putamen, and the frontoparietal neocortex. Deep hypothermia (20°C) of 30 min duration terminated RSE within 12 min of initiation of hypothermia, reduced EEG power and seizure activity upon rewarming, and eliminated SE‐induced neuronal injury in most animals. Normothermic rats showed widespread breakdown of the BBB, and extensive macrophage infiltration in areas of neuronal injury, which were completely absent in animals treated with hypothermia. Interpretation These results suggest that deep hypothermia may open a new therapeutic avenue for the treatment of RSE and for the prevention of its long‐term consequences.

Abstract
In a rat model of status epilepticus (SE) induced by lithium and pilocarpine and refractory to midazolam, deep hypothermia (20 °C for 30 min) reduced EEG power over 50-fold, stopped SE within 12 min, and reduced EEG spikes by 87%. Hypothermia deserves further investigation as a treatment of last resort for refractory SE. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Status Epilepticus".

Abstract
Multiple randomized controlled trials have shown that prolonged, moderate cerebral hypothermia initiated within a few hours after severe hypoxia-ischemia and continued until resolution of the acute phase of delayed cell death reduces mortality and improves neurodevelopmental outcome in term infants. The challenge is now to find ways to further improve outcomes. In the present review, we critically examine the evidence that conventional analgesic, sedative, or anticonvulsant agents might improve outcomes, in relation to the known window of opportunity for effective protection with hypothermia. This review strongly indicates that there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine use of these agents during therapeutic hypothermia. Further systematic research into the effects of pain and stress on the injured brain, and their treatment during hypothermia, is essential to guide the rational development of clinical treatment protocols.

Abstract
Hypothermia is a known approach in the treatment of neurological pathologies. Mild hypothermia enhances the therapeutic window for application of medicines, while deep hypothermia is often accompanied by complications, including problems in the recovery of brain functions. The purpose of present study was to investigate the functioning of glutamate ionotropic receptors in brain slices cooled with different rates during mild, moderate and deep hypothermia. Using a system of gradual cooling combined with electrophysiological recordings in slices, we have shown that synaptic activity mediated by the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in rat olfactory cortex was strongly dependent on the rate of lowering the temperature. High cooling rate caused a progressive decrease in glutamate receptor activity in brain slices during gradual cooling from mild to deep hypothermia. On the contrary, low cooling rate slightly changed the synaptic responses in deep hypothermia. The short-term potentiation may be induced in slices by electric tetanization at 16 °C in this case. Hence, low cooling rate promoted preservation of neuronal activity and plasticity in the brain tissue.

Abstract
Stroke is deemed a worldwide leading cause of neurological disability and death, however, there is currently no promising pharmacotherapy for acute ischemic stroke aside from intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis. Yet because of the narrow therapeutic time window involved, thrombolytic application is very restricted in clinical settings. Accumulating data suggest that non-pharmaceutical therapies for stroke might provide new opportunities for stroke treatment. Here we review recent research progress in the mechanisms and clinical implications of non-pharmaceutical therapies, mainly including neuroprotective approaches such as hypothermia, ischemic/hypoxic conditioning, acupuncture, medical gases and transcranial laser therapy. In addition, we briefly summarize mechanical endovascular recanalization devices and recovery devices for the treatment of the chronic phase of stroke and discuss the relative merits of these devices.

Abstract
Prolonged, moderate cerebral hypothermia initiated within a few hours after severe hypoxia-ischemia and continued until resolution of the acute phase of delayed cell death can reduce acute brain injury and improve long-term behavioral recovery in term infants and in adults after cardiac arrest. The specific mechanisms of hypothermic neuroprotection remain unclear, in part because hypothermia suppresses a broad range of potential injurious factors. This article examines proposed mechanisms in relation to the known window of opportunity for effective protection with hypothermia. Knowledge of the mechanisms of hypothermia will help guide the rational development of future combination treatments to augment neuroprotection with hypothermia and identify those most likely to benefit.

Abstract
Acute post-asphyxial encephalopathy occurring around the time of birth remains a major cause of death and disability. The recent seminal insight that allows active neuroprotective treatment is that even after profound asphyxia (the “primary” phase), many brain cells show initial recovery from the insult during a short “latent” phase, typically lasting approximately 6 h, only to die hours to days later after a “secondary” deterioration characterized by seizures, cytotoxic edema, and progressive failure of cerebral oxidative metabolism. Although many of these secondary processes are potentially injurious, they appear to be primarily epiphenomena of the “execution” phase of cell death. Animal and human studies designed around this conceptual framework have shown that moderate cerebral hypothermia initiated as early as possible but before the onset of secondary deterioration, and continued for a sufficient duration to allow the secondary deterioration to resolve, has been associated with potent, long-lasting neuroprotection. Recent clinical trials show that while therapeutic hypothermia significantly reduces morbidity and mortality, many babies still die or survive with disabilities. The challenge for the future is to find ways of improving the effectiveness of treatment. In this review, we will dissect the known mechanisms of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in relation to the known effects of hypothermic neuroprotection.

Abstract
Perinatal hypoxic ischemia (H-I) causes brain damage and long-term neurological impairments, leading to motor dysfunctions and cerebral palsy. Many studies have demonstrated that the TrkB-ERK1/2 signaling pathway plays a key role in mediating the protective effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) following perinatal H-I brain injury in experimental animals. In the present study, we explored the neuroprotective effects of the TrkB-specific agonist monoclonal antibody 29D7 on H-I brain injury in neonatal rats. First, we found that intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of 29D7 in normal P7 rats markedly increased the levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and phosphorylated AKT in neurons up to 24 h. Second, P7 rats received icv administration of 29D7 and subjected to H-I injury induced by unilateral carotid artery ligation and exposure to hypoxia (8% oxygen). We found that 29D7, to a similar extent to BDNF, significantly inhibited activation of caspase-3, a biochemical hallmark of apoptosis, following H-I injury. Third, we found that this 29D7-mediated neuroprotective action persisted at least up to 5 weeks post-H-I injury as assessed by brain tissue loss, implicating long-term neurotrophic effects rather than an acute delay of cell death. Moreover, the long-term neuroprotective effect of 29D7 was tightly correlated with sensorimotor functional recovery as assessed by a tape-removal test, while 29D7 did not significantly improve rotarod performance. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that pretreatment with the TrkB-selective agonist 29D7 significantly increases neuronal survival and behavioral recovery following neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

Abstract
Mild hypothermia (33°C-34°C) after cerebral ischemia in intact animals or ischemia-like conditions in vitro reduces neuron death. However, it is now clear that more profound hypothermia or delayed hypothermia may not provide significant protection. To further define the limitations of hypothermia after cerebral ischemia, we used hippocampal slice cultures to examine the effects of various degrees, durations, and delays of hypothermia on neuron death after an ischemia-like insult. Organotypic cultures of the hippocampus from 7- to 8 day-old rat pups were cooled to 32°C, 23°C, 17°C, or 4°C immediately or after a 2-4 hour delay from an injurious insult of oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD). Cell death in CA1, CA3 and dentate regions of the cultures was assessed 24 hours later with SYTOX® or propidium iodide, both of which are fluorescent markers labeling damaged cells. OGD caused extensive cell death in CA1, CA3, and dentate regions of the hippocampal cultures. Hypothermia (32°C, 23°C and 17°C) for 4-6 hours immediately after OGD was protective at 24 hours, but when hypothermia was applied for longer periods or delayed after OGD, no protection or increased death was seen. Ultra-profound hypothermia (4°C) increased cell death in all cell areas of the hippocampus even when after a milder insult of only hypoxia. In an in vitro model of recovery after an ischemia-like insult, mild to profound hypothermia is protective only when applied without delay and for limited periods of time (6-8 hours). Longer durations of hypothermia, or delayed application of the hypothermia can increase neuron death. These findings may have implications for clinical uses of therapeutic hypothermia after hypoxic or ischemic insults, and suggest that further work is needed to elucidate the limitations of hypothermia as a protective treatment after ischemic stress.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an important cause of brain injury in the newborn and may result in long-term devastating consequences. Excessive stimulation of glutamate receptors (GluRs) is a pivotal mechanism underlying ischemia-induced selective and delayed neuronal death. Although initial studies focused on N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors as critical mediators in HIE, subsequent studies supported a more central role for α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors (AMPARs), particularly Ca2+-permeable AMPARs, in brain damage associated with hypoxia-ischemia. This study reviewed the important role of Ca2+-permeable AMPARs in HIE and the future potential neuroprotective strategies associated with Ca2+-permeable AMPARs.

Abstract
Through the years, the clinical application of mild hypothermia has been carried out worldwide and is built from the exploration and cognition of neuroprotection mechanisms by hypothermia. However, within the last decade, extensive and fundamental researches in this area have been conducted. In addition to aspects of the previous findings, scholars have discovered several new contents and uncertain results. This article reviews and summarizes this decade’s progression of mild hypothermia in lowering the cerebral oxygen metabolism, protecting the blood–brain-barrier, regulating the inflammatory response, regulating the excessive release of neurotransmitters, inhibiting calcium overload, and reducing neuronal apoptosis. In many aspects, particularly in regulating inflammatory reverse reaction, various results have been reported and therefore guide scholars to conduct more detailed analysis and investigation in order to discover the inherent theories surrounding the effect of mild hypothermia, and for better clinical services.
