Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is currently treated with bacterial L-asparaginase; however, its side effects raise the need for the development of improved and efficient novel enzymes. Previously, we obtained low anti-asparaginase antibody production and high serum enzyme half-life in mice treated with the P40S/S206C mutant; however, its specific activity was significantly reduced. Thus, our aim was to test single mutants, S206C and P40S, through in vitro and in vivo assays. Our results showed that the drop in specific activity was caused by P40S substitution. In addition, our single mutants were highly stable in biological environment simulation, unlike the double-mutant P40S/S206C. The in vitro cell viability assay demonstrated that mutant enzymes have a higher cytotoxic effect than WT on T-cell-derived ALL and on some solid cancer cell lines. The in vivo assays were performed in mice to identify toxicological effects, to evoke immunological responses and to study the enzymes' pharmacokinetics. From these tests, none of the enzymes was toxic; however, S206C elicited lower physiological changes and immune/allergenic responses. In relation to the pharmacokinetic profile, S206C exhibited twofold higher activity than WT and P40S two hours after injection. In conclusion, we present bioengineered E. coli asparaginases with high specific enzyme activity and fewer side effects.

Abstract
In this study, the rat models of severe hypothermia induced by seawater immersion were established in artificial seawater immersion at 15°C for 5 hours. With the rewarming measurement of 37°C water bath, the rewarming effects were evaluated by monitoring basic vital signs and dynamically detecting intestinal inflammation cytokines. Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups including the control group (group C), hypothermia group (group H), 2-hour rewarming group (group R2), 6-hour rewarming group (group R6), and 12-hour rewarming group (group R12), with 10 in each group. The basic vital signs of rats (i.e., core temperature, respiration, heart rate, and muscle tremor) were constantly recorded. The inflammatory factors were detected in the intestinal tissue via a protein chip GSR-CAA-67 of Innopsys, and the verification by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The levels of cytokines (interleukin IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10) were detected from blood samples collected at the end of the observation period via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression landscape of IL-1β in the intestinal tissue was validated by immunohistochemistry. Five hours of immersion in artificial seawater at 15°C successfully induced severe hypothermia of rats. After 2 hours of constant water bath rewarming at 37°C, the basic vital signs recovered to the normal level and maintained stably as well as the acute inflammatory reaction alleviated effectively, which indicated that 37°C of water immersion rewarming had the potential to be a suitable method for early treatment of water immersion hypothermia. After the process of hypothermia, several inflammatory cytokines of rats in rewarming groups changed distinctly with IL-1β, showing the most significant variations compared with group C, which confirmed IL-1β as a potential monitoring biomarker referring to the therapeutic effect of rewarming for severe hypothermia caused by seawater immersion.

Translational evidence for the Inflammatory Response System (IRS)/Compensatory Immune Response System (CIRS) and neuroprogression theory of major depression. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 2021; 111:110343.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common, severe and disabling neuropsychiatric disorder with a heterogenous etiology. Among the most widely recognized etiological models, immunopathogenesis is a predominant one. Numerous studies have demonstrated aberrant levels of inflammatory markers in the peripheral blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain of patients with MDD. Multiple studies including meta-analyses have reported increased peripheral levels of acute phase proteins, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, particularly IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in MDD. Postmortem brain studies similarly demonstrated upregulated expressions of these pro-inflammatory cytokines. This along with evidence of monocytic, lymphocytic and microglial activation, suggest an activated inflammatory response system (IRS) in MDD. A few studies show increased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines or defective inflammatory pathways and a deficit in T cell maturation and responses in MDD patients. This suggests the presence of a Compensatory Immune Response System (CIRS), which can counterbalance the effects of IRS in major depression. More recently, simultaneously increased levels of both the pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines are reported in the brain of MDD patients; this indicates activity of both the IRS and CIRS in MDD. The IRS and CIRS are the evolutionarily conserved and integral elements of an overarching system. The relevance of a dysregulated IRS-CIRS system in the neurobiological construct of MDD is just beginning to be understood. Speculation is rife that the disrupted IRS-CIRS elements might determine the onset, episodes, neuroprogressive processes, treatment response as well as recovery of patients with MDD. Notably, the signatures of an activated IRS-CIRS might emerge as potential biomarkers of MDD. Herein, an attempt has been made to highlight the biology and pathobiological relevance of IRS-CIRS activation in MDD and provide an insight into the role of these components in pharmacological therapy.

Abstract
Sepsis is a syndrome caused by a deregulated host response to infection, representing the primary cause of death from infection. In animal models, the mortality rate is strongly dependent on the time of sepsis induction, suggesting a main role of the circadian system. In patients undergoing sepsis, deregulated circadian rhythms have also been reported. Here we review data related to the timing of sepsis induction to further understand the different outcomes observed both in patients and in animal models. The magnitude of immune activation as well as the hypothermic response correlated with the time of the worst prognosis. The different outcomes seem to be dependent on the expression of the clock gene Bmal1 in the liver and in myeloid immune cells. The understanding of the role of the circadian system in sepsis pathology could be an important tool to improve patient therapies.

Abstract
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a lifesaving maneuver for the management of lethal torso hemorrhage. However, its prolonged use leads to distal organ ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The objective of this study is to investigate the blood-based biomarkers of IRI and SIRS and the efficacy of direct intestinal cooling in the prevention of IRI and SIRS. A rat lethal hemorrhage model was produced by bleeding 50% of the total blood volume. A balloon catheter was inserted into the aorta for the implementation of REBOA. A novel TransRectal Intra-Colon (TRIC) device was placed in the descending colon and activated from 10 min after the bleeding to maintain the intra-colon temperature at 37 °C (TRIC37°C group) or 12 °C (TRIC12°C group) for 270 min. The upper body temperature was maintained at as close to 37 °C as possible in both groups. Blood samples were collected before hemorrhage and after REBOA. The organ injury biomarkers and inflammatory cytokines were evaluated by ELISA method. Blood based organ injury biomarkers (endotoxin, creatinine, AST, FABP1/L-FABP, cardiac troponin I, and FABP2/I-FABP) were all drastically increased in TRIC37°C group after REBOA. TRIC12°C significantly downregulated these increased organ injury biomarkers. Plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1b, and IL-17F were also drastically increased in TRIC37°C group after REBOA. TRIC12°C significantly downregulated the pro-inflammatory cytokines. In contrast, TRIC12°C significantly upregulated the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 after REBOA. Amazingly, the mortality rate was 100% in TRIC37°C group whereas 0% in TRIC12°C group after REBOA. Directly cooling the intestine offered exceptional protection of the abdominal organs from IRI and SIRS, switched from a harmful pro-inflammatory to a reparative anti-inflammatory response, and mitigated mortality in the rat model of REBOA management of lethal hemorrhage.

Abstract
Among conventional cancer therapies, radio-frequency magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) has widely been investigated for use with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). However, the majority of in vivo biodistribution studies have tested very low MNP dosages (equivalent to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications) to check for clearance rate; which is far below the clinical dose of MHT. Due to this poor validation in preclinical scenarios, quite a few MNPs already in clinical use were later discontinued, on grounds of unexpected clinical outcomes in terms of inflammation, and prolonged clearance in vivo. By exploiting an economical method of synthesis, we have developed chitosan-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles with high heating efficiency performance. Their anti-tumor response was evaluated in an ectopic tumor model of C6 glioblastoma by MHT. The intratumoral injection of MNPs on days 1 and 7 resulted in rapid tumor inhibition rate of 69.4% within 8 days, with complete inhibition within 32 days, and no recurrence recorded over a 5-month follow-up. Notably, the MNP-mediated MHT therapy achieved the highest degree of therapeutic efficacy required for complete tumor ablation by combining controlled temperature range (<44 °C), reduced MNP dosage; much lower than in most reported studies, and AMF parameters (time of exposure and frequency) within the clinical safety limit. Periodic body weight measurements confirmed negligible adverse side effects in rats. The anti-tumor activity was validated by severe apoptosis (TUNEL, cleaved Caspase-3), reduced proliferation (Ki 67) and disrupted vasculature (CD 31) in the Fe3O4-MHT-treated group. Real-time gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-1β) confirmed the intratumoral activation of IL-6, suggesting the role of immunomodulation in triggering the adaptive immune response for faster tumor regression in the treated group. In addition, the biodistribution and clearance rate of MNPs monitored using ICP-OES confirmed their time-dependent biodegradation via excretion (urine, feces), phagocytosis (liver) and circulatory system (blood), with negligible deposition in other major organs (kidney, heart, lungs). Although we could not show complete clearance of our MNPs within the time frame tested, future studies should focus on combining MHT with immunotherapy, and target tumors at a much-reduced iron dose, consequently improving in vivo clearance rate, and hence overcoming the limitations of MHT in clinical therapy.

Abstract
Sepsis is caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, and characterized by uncontrolled inflammation together with immunosuppression, impaired innate immune functions of phagocytes and complement activation. Septic patients develop fever or hypothermia, being the last one characteristic of severe cases. Both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α- induced septic shock in mice is dependent on the time of administration. In this study, we aimed to further characterize the circadian response to high doses of LPS. First, we found that mice injected with LPS at ZT11 developed a higher hypothermia than those inoculated at ZT19. This response was accompanied by higher neuronal activation of the preoptic, suprachiasmatic, and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus. However, LPS-induced Tnf-α and Tnf-α type 1 receptor (TNFR1) expression in the preoptic area was time-independent. We also analyzed peritoneal and spleen macrophages, and observed an exacerbated response after ZT11 stimulation. The serum of mice inoculated with LPS at ZT11 induced deeper hypothermia in naïve animals than the one coming from ZT19-inoculated mice, related to higher TNF-α serum levels during the day. We also analyzed the response in TNFR1-deficient mice, and found that both the daily difference in the mortality rate, the hypothermic response and neuronal activation were lost. Moreover, mice subjected to circadian desynchronization showed no differences in the mortality rate throughout the day, and developed lower minimum temperatures than mice under light-dark conditions. Also, those injected at ZT11 showed increased levels of TNF-α in serum compared to standard light conditions. These results suggest a circadian dependency of the central thermoregulatory and peripheral inflammatory response to septic-shock, with TNF-α playing a central role in this circadian response.

Pharmacologically induced reversible hypometabolic state mitigates radiation induced lethality in mice. Sci Rep 2017; 7:14900.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia has proven benefits in critical care of a number of diseased states, where inflammation and oxidative stress are the key players. Here, we report that adenosine monophosphate (AMP) triggered hypometabolic state (HMS), 1–3 hours after lethal total body irradiation (TBI) for a duration of 6 hours, rescue mice from radiation-induced lethality and this effect is mediated by the persistent hypothermia. Studies with caffeine and 6N-cyclohexyladenosine, a non-selective antagonist and a selective agonist of adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) respectively, indicated the involvement of adenosine receptor (AR) signaling. Intracerebroventricular injection of AMP also suggested possible involvement of central activation of AR signaling. AMP, induced HMS in a strain and age independent fashion and did not affect the behavioural and reproductive capacities. AMP induced HMS, mitigated radiation-induced oxidative DNA damage and loss of HSPCs. The increase in IL-6 and IL-10 levels and a shift towards anti-inflammatory milieu during the first 3–4 hours seems to be responsible for the augmented survival of HSPCs. The syngeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) studies further supported the role of radiation-induced inflammation in loss of bone marrow cellularity after TBI. We also showed that the clinically plausible mild hypothermia effectively mitigates TBI induced lethality in mice.

Abstract
Disturbed homeostasis as a result of tissue stress can provoke leukocyte responses enabling recovery. Since mild hypothermia displays specific clinically relevant tissue-protective properties and interleukin (IL)-22 promotes healing at host/environment interfaces, effects of lowered ambient temperature on IL-22 were studied. We demonstrate that a 5-h exposure of endotoxemic mice to 4°C reduces body temperature by 5.0° and enhances splenic and colonic il22 gene expression. In contrast, tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-17A were not increased. In vivo data on IL-22 were corroborated using murine splenocytes and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) cultured upon 33°C and polyclonal T cell activation. Upregulation by mild hypothermia of largely T-cell-derived IL-22 in PBMC required monocytes and associated with enhanced nuclear T-cell nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)-c2. Notably, NFAT antagonism by cyclosporin A or FK506 impaired IL-22 upregulation at normothermia and entirely prevented its enhanced expression upon hypothermic culture conditions. Data suggest that intact NFAT signaling is required for efficient IL-22 induction upon normothermic and hypothermic conditions. Hypothermia furthermore boosted early signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation by IL-22 and shaped downstream gene expression in epithelial-like cells. Altogether, data indicate that hypothermia supports and fine-tunes IL-22 production/action, which may contribute to regulatory properties of low ambient temperature.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory cytokines are implicated in the pathogenesis of perinatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI). The influence of hypothermia (HT) on cytokines after HI is unclear. Our aim was to assess in a piglet asphyxia model, under normothermic (NT) and HT conditions: (i) the evolution of serum cytokines over 48 h and (ii) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytokine levels at 48 h; (iii) serum pro/anti-inflammatory cytokine profile over 48 h and (iv) relation between brain injury measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and brain TUNEL positive cells with serum cytokines, serum pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines and CSF cytokines. Methods Newborn piglets were randomized to NT (n = 5) or HT (n = 6) lasting 2–26 h after HI. Serum samples were obtained 4–6 h before, during and at 6–12 h intervals after HI; CSF was obtained at 48 h. Concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, −4, −6, −8, −10 and TNF-α were measured and pro/anti-inflammatory status compared between groups. White matter and thalamic voxel lactate/N-acetyl aspartate (Lac/NAA) (a measure of both oxidative metabolism and neuronal loss) were acquired at baseline, after HI and at 24 and 36 h. Results Lac/NAA was reduced at 36 h with HT compared to NT (p = 0.013 basal ganglia and p = 0.033 white matter). HT showed lower serum TNF-α from baseline to 12 h (p < 0.05). Time-matched (acquired within 5 h of each other) serum cytokine and MRS showed correlations between Lac/NAA and serum IL-1β and IL-10 (all p < 0.01). The pro/anti-inflammatory ratios IL-1β/IL-10, IL-6/IL-10, IL-4/IL-10 and IL-8/IL-10 were similar in NT and HT groups until 36 h (24 h for IL-6/IL-10); after this, 36 h pro/anti-inflammatory cytokine ratios in the serum were higher in HT compared to NT (p < 0.05), indicating a pro-inflammatory cytokine surge after rewarming in the HT group. In the CSF at 48 h, IL-8 was lower in the HT group (p < 0.05). At 48 h, CSF TNF-α correlated with Lac/NAA (p = 0.02) and CSF IL-8 correlated with white matter TUNEL positive cell death (p = 0.04). Conclusions Following cerebral HI, there was a systemic pro-inflammatory surge after rewarming in the HT group, which is counterintuitive to the putative neuroprotective effects of HT. While serum cytokines were variable, elevations in CSF inflammatory cytokines at 48 h were associated with MRS Lac/NAA and white matter cell death.

Regulation of therapeutic hypothermia on inflammatory cytokines, microglia polarization, migration and functional recovery after ischemic stroke in mice. Neurobiol Dis 2016; 96:248-260. [PMID: 27659107 PMCID: PMC5161414 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2016.09.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 102] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2016] [Revised: 08/30/2016] [Accepted: 09/17/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Stroke is a leading threat to human life and health in the US and around the globe, while very few effective treatments are available for stroke patients. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a potential treatment for stroke. Using novel neurotensin receptor 1 (NTR1) agonists, we have demonstrated pharmacologically induced hypothermia and protective effects against brain damages after ischemic stroke, hemorrhage stroke, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rodent models. To further characterize the mechanism of TH-induced brain protection, we examined the effect of TH (at ±33°C for 6h) induced by the NTR1 agonist HPI-201 or physical (ice/cold air) cooling on inflammatory responses after ischemic stroke in mice and oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) in cortical neuronal cultures. Seven days after focal cortical ischemia, microglia activation in the penumbra reached a peak level, which was significantly attenuated by TH treatments commenced 30min after stroke. The TH treatment decreased the expression of M1 type reactive factors including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-12, IL-23, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) measured by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Meanwhile, TH treatments increased the expression of M2 type reactive factors including IL-10, Fizz1, Ym1, and arginase-1. In the ischemic brain and in cortical neuronal/BV2 microglia cultures subjected to OGD, TH attenuated the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), two key chemokines in the regulation of microglia activation and infiltration. Consistently, physical cooling during OGD significantly decreased microglia migration 16h after OGD. Finally, TH improved functional recovery at 1, 3, and 7days after stroke. This study reveals the first evidence for hypothermia mediated regulation on inflammatory factor expression, microglia polarization, migration and indicates that the anti-inflammatory effect is an important mechanism underlying the brain protective effects of a TH therapy.

Abstract
Wegner's granulomatosis (WG) is an autoimmune systemic vasculitis that results in necrotizing granulomas. We report a WG patient with a lung granuloma and aortic root dilatation, who underwent aortic root replacement on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Intraoperatively, the patient suffered an aortic dissection, which was repaired immediately under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Follow-up imaging showed complete granuloma resolution, despite absence of immunosuppressive therapy. Immune stimulation following CPB is well described; here, the opposite was observed and DHCA effects are discussed.

Abstract
We investigated the expression profiles of miRNAs in acute lung injury (ALI) rats after hypothermia treatment. ALI rats were induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and maintained with hypothermia (HT) or normothermia (NT) for 6 hours. HT attenuated inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung and improved biochemical indicators of multi-organ dysfunction. Nineteen miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed in the HT group compared with the NT group. miR-142, miR-98, miR-541, miR-503, miR-653, miR- 223, miR-323 and miR-196b exhibited opposite patterns of expression between the two groups. These dysregulated miRNAs were mainly involved in the immune and inflammatory response on functional annotation analyses. This study shows that HT has lung protective effects and influences expression profiles of miRNAs in ALI. And dysregulated miRNAs after HT modulate the immune and inflammation in ALI. These results suggest that dysregulated miRNAs play a role in the mechanism of the lung protective effects of HT in ALI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to investigate the effect of the rewarming rate on survival and acute lung injury in sepsis. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent cecal ligation and incision. After 1 hour of sepsis induction, normothermia (37°C±0.5°C, NT group) or hypothermia (32°C±0.5°C) was induced. Hypothermia was maintained for 4 hours and rats were divided into two groups according to the rewarming rate: RW1 group, 1 hour of rewarming; and RW2 group, 2 hours of rewarming. In the survival study, rats were observed for 12 hours after sepsis induction (n=6 per group). In the second experiment, rats were sacrificed 7 hours after sepsis induction, and lung tissues and plasma were harvested (n=10 per group). RESULTS In the survival study, the RW2 group survived longer than the RW1 group (P<0.05), but the RW1 and NT groups showed no significant difference in survival duration (P>0.05). The histological lung injury score and malondialdehyde concentrations in the lung tissues were significantly higher in the RW1 group than in the RW2 group (P<0.05). Plasma interleukin (IL)-6 concentration and the ratio of IL-6 to IL-10 were higher in the RW1 group than in the RW2 group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Rapid rewarming after therapeutic hypothermia results in a shorter survival period and acute lung injury in sepsis, which could be associated with the inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Preclinical and clinical studies have shown therapeutic potential of mild-to-moderate hypothermia for treatments of stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Physical cooling in humans, however, is usually slow, cumbersome, and necessitates sedation that prevents early application in clinical settings and causes several side effects. Our recent study showed that pharmacologically induced hypothermia (PIH) using a novel neurotensin receptor 1 (NTR1) agonist, HPI-201 (also known as ABS-201), is efficient and effective in inducing therapeutic hypothermia and protecting the brain from ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in mice. The present investigation tested another second-generation NTR1 agonist, HPI-363, for its hypothermic and protective effect against TBI. Adult male mice were subjected to controlled cortical impact (CCI) (velocity=3 m/sec, depth=1.0 mm, contact time=150 msec) to the exposed cortex. Intraperitoneal administration of HPI-363 (0.3 mg/kg) reduced body temperature by 3-5°C within 30-60 min without triggering a shivering defensive reaction. An additional two injections sustained the hypothermic effect in conscious mice for up to 6 h. This PIH treatment was initiated 15, 60, or 120 min after the onset of TBI, and significantly reduced the contusion volume measured 3 days after TBI. HPI-363 attenuated caspase-3 activation, Bax expression, and TUNEL-positive cells in the pericontusion region. In blood-brain barrier assessments, HPI-363 ameliorated extravasation of Evans blue dye and immunoglobulin G, attenuated the MMP-9 expression, and decreased the number of microglia cells in the post-TBI brain. HPI-363 decreased the mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), but increased IL-6 and IL-10 levels. Compared with TBI control mice, HPI-363 treatments improved sensorimotor functional recovery after TBI. These findings suggest that the second generation NTR-1 agonists, such as HPI-363, are efficient hypothermic-inducing compounds that have a strong potential in the management of TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM This study sought to investigate the effects of hypothermia induced by adenosine 5'-monophosphate (5'-AMP) on L-arginine (L-Arg)-induced acute pancreatitis in rats. METHODS The rats were divided into four groups: the control group, the acute pancreatitis group, the 5'-AMP pretreatment group, and the 5'-AMP posttreatment group. Rats in all groups, except for the control group, received two injections of 2.5 g/kg body weight (intraperitoneally) L-Arg, with an interval of 1 h between the injections. Subsequently, the rats were observed to assess whether hypothermia induced by 5'-AMP could effectively inhibit inflammation associated with L-Arg-induced acute pancreatitis in rats. RESULTS Hypothermia induced by 5'-AMP produced protective effects in our acute pancreatitis model. These effects exhibited the following manifestations: (i) a significant reduction in rat mortality rates; (ii) a significant decrease in the occurrence of pancreatic edema; (iii) significant reductions in serum amylase (P < 0.001), interleukin-6 (P < 0.001), interleukin-1β (P < 0.001) and tumor necrosis factor-α (P < 0.001); (iv) the significant inhibition of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation in rats that were pre- and posttreated with 5'-AMP compared with rats that were only injected with L-Arg; and (v) significant decreases in the occurrence of pancreatic interstitial edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, hemorrhage, and acinar cell necrosis. CONCLUSIONS Hypothermia induced by 5'-AMP could inhibit the acute inflammatory reaction and NF-κB activation associated with acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
Injury of the CA1 subregion induced by a single injection of kainic acid (1 × KA) in juvenile animals (P20) is attenuated in animals with two prior sustained neonatal seizures on P6 and P9. To identify gene candidates involved in the spatially protective effects produced by early-life conditioning seizures we profiled and compared the transcriptomes of CA1 subregions from control, 1 × KA- and 3 × KA-treated animals. More genes were regulated following 3 × KA (9.6%) than after 1 × KA (7.1%). Following 1 × KA, genes supporting oxidative stress, growth, development, inflammation and neurotransmission were upregulated (e.g. Cacng1, Nadsyn1, Kcng1, Aven, S100a4, GFAP, Vim, Hrsp12 and Grik1). After 3 × KA, protective genes were differentially over-expressed [e.g. Cat, Gpx7, Gad1, Hspa12A, Foxn1, adenosine A1 receptor, Ca(2+) adaptor and homeostasis proteins, Cacnb4, Atp2b2, anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 gene members, intracellular trafficking protein, Grasp and suppressor of cytokine signaling (Socs3)]. Distinct anti-inflammatory interleukins (ILs) not observed in adult tissues [e.g. IL-6 transducer, IL-23 and IL-33 or their receptors (IL-F2 )] were also over-expressed. Several transcripts were validated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) and immunohistochemistry. QPCR showed that casp 6 was increased after 1 × KA but reduced after 3 × KA; the pro-inflammatory gene Cox1 was either upregulated or unchanged after 1 × KA but reduced by ~70% after 3 × KA. Enhanced GFAP immunostaining following 1 × KA was selectively attenuated in the CA1 subregion after 3 × KA. The observed differential transcriptional responses may contribute to early-life seizure-induced pre-conditioning and neuroprotection by reducing glutamate receptor-mediated Ca(2+) permeability of the hippocampus and redirecting inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. These changes could lead to new genetic therapies for epilepsy.

Abstract
To investigate whether the hypothermia induced by Adenosine 5'-Monophosphate (5'-AMP) could attenuate early stage injury in a rat acute gouty arthritis model. Ankle joint injection with monosodium urate monohydrate crystals (MSU crystals) in hypothermia rat model which was induced by 5'-AMP and then observe whether hypothermia induced by 5'-AMP could be effectively inhibit the inflammation on acute gouty arthritis in rats. AMP-induced hypothermia has protective effects on our acute gouty arthritis, which was demonstrated by the following criteria: (1) a significant reduction in the ankle swelling (p < 0.001); (2) a significant decrease in the occurrence of leukocyte infiltration and mild hemorrhage; (3) a significant reduction in the presence of serum Interleukin-1β (IL-1β, p < 0.001) and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9, p < 0.001); and (4) a significant inhibition in the Nuclear Factor -κappaB (NF-κB) activity (p < 0.001). AMP-induced hypothermia could inhibit acute inflammation reaction and protect the synovial tissue against acute injury in a rat acute gouty arthritis model.

Abstract
Inflammatory cytokines may mediate hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury and offer insights into the severity of injury and the timing of recovery. In our randomized, multicenter trial of hypothermia, we analyzed the temporal relationship of serum cytokine levels in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) with neurodevelopmental outcome at 12 months. Serum cytokines were measured every 12 hours for 4 days in 28 hypothermic (H) and 22 normothermic (N) neonates with HIE. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukins (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-10 were significantly higher in the H group. Elevated IL-6 and MCP-1 within 9 hours after birth and low macrophage inflammatory protein 1a (MIP-1a) at 60 to 70 hours of age were associated with death or severely abnormal neurodevelopment at 12 months of age. However, IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 showed a biphasic pattern in the H group, with early and delayed peaks. In H neonates with better outcomes, uniform down modulation of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 from their peak levels at 24 hours to their nadir at 36 hours was observed. Modulation of serum cytokines after HI injury may be another mechanism of improved outcomes in neonates treated with induced hypothermia.

Abstract
We have built a rat's model to investigate whether the hypothermia induced by adenosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-AMP) (AIH) could attenuate acute lung injury induced by LPS in rats. We detected the inflammatory cytokine levels in the plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples, and we analyzed the pathological changes in the lungs. We have found that AIH can effectively inhibit acute inflammatory reactions and protect the lung from acute injury induced by LPS in rats.

Abstract
AIM OF STUDY The effects of therapeutic hypothermia (HT) during experimental sepsis may be influenced by disease severity. We experimentally investigated the effect of therapeutic HT on varying disease severity in a septic rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS An adult male Sprague-Dawley rat model of intra-abdominal sepsis was used. To modify the disease severity, we used two different models; a moderate severe sepsis model (MSSM) and a severe septic shock model (SSSM). All rats were randomized to a hypothermia group (HT, 30-32°C) or a normothermia group (NT, 36-38°C) 1h after sepsis induction in each model. HT was maintained for 4h and rewarming was conducted for 2h. Survival time was recorded for up to 12h in the SSSM group and 24h in the MSSM group. Acute lung and liver injury, cytokine, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were investigated 7h after sepsis induction. Hemodynamic profiles were also evaluated. RESULTS In the SSSM, there were survival benefits and reduced acute lung and liver injury with therapeutic HT. Therapeutic HT was also associated with significantly reduced levels of plasma interleukin-6 and tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the liver and lung compared with the NT group in the SSSM. There was a tendency for the mean arterial pressure to be higher in the HT group compared to the NT group in the SSSM. In MSSM, however, there was no such beneficial effect. CONCLUSION In this rat model of severe septic shock, therapeutic HT showed beneficial effects. In contrast, therapeutic HT did not show protective effect in the moderate sepsis model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality rate of severe sepsis remains unacceptably high. It is difficult to make advances in the treatment of this problematic and increasingly frequent medical condition. In severe sepsis, hypothermia can be recognized as an important feature. The present study investigated the role of hypothermia in the prognosis of the colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) model. METHODS We employed the CASP model for wild-type C57BL/6 mice. We compared physiologic indices in survivor and non-survivor groups after CASP to test whether low temperature might be a helpful predictor in sepsis. To certify this hypothesis, we examined the survival rate, peritoneal leukocytes, and organ damage. We also measured the bacterial burden and inflammatory cytokine levels at different times. RESULTS The temperature varied dramatically in the survivors' group compared with the non-survivors' group at 18 h. We divided the CASP models into a mild group and a severe group, based on temperatures above or below 32°C at 18 h. Mice in the severe group had a lower survival rate (0% versus 87.5%), more peritoneal leukocytes, more bacterial culture results, higher expressions of cytokines, and more classical features in pathology compared with the mild group. CONCLUSIONS Hypothermia (below 32°C at 18 h) might be a predictor of prognosis in CASP-induced sepsis.

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 When used as a pretreatment, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) either attenuated or aggravated lung injury. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis whether posttreatment intravenous Na2S (sulfide) may attenuate lung injury. METHODS After blast wave blunt chest trauma or sham procedure, anesthetized and instrumented mice received continuous intravenous sulfide or vehicle while being kept at 37°C or 32°C core temperature. After 4 hours of pressure-controlled, thoracopulmonary compliance-titrated, lung-protective mechanical ventilation, blood and tissue were harvested for cytokine concentrations, heme oxygenase-1, IκBα, Bcl-Xl, and pBad expression (western blotting), nuclear factor-κB activation (electrophoretic mobility shift assay), and activated caspase-3, cystathionine-β synthase and cystathionine-γ lyase (immunohistochemistry). RESULTS Hypothermia caused marked bradycardia and metabolic acidosis unaltered by sulfide. Chest trauma impaired thoracopulmonary compliance and arterial Po2, again without sulfide effect. Cytokine levels showed inconsistent response. Sulfide increased nuclear factor-κB activation during normothermia, but this effect was blunted during hypothermia. While histologic lung injury was variable, both sulfide and hypothermia attenuated the trauma-related increase in heme oxygenase-1 expression and activated caspase-3 staining, which coincided with increased Bad phosphorylation and Bcl-Xl expression. Sulfide and hypothermia also attenuated the trauma-induced cystathionine-β synthase and cystathionine-γ lyase expression. CONCLUSIONS Posttreatment sulfide infusion after blunt chest trauma did not affect the impaired lung mechanics and gas exchange but attenuated stress protein expression and apoptotic cell death. This protective effect was amplified by moderate hypothermia. The simultaneous reduction in cystathionine-β synthase and cystathionine-γ lyase expression supports the role of H2S-generating enzymes as an adaptive response during stress states.

Abstract
In the era of lung-protective mechanical ventilation using limited tidal volumes, higher respiratory rates are applied to maintain adequate minute volume ventilation. However, higher respiratory rates may contribute to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Induced hypothermia reduces carbon dioxide production and might allow for lower respiratory rates during mechanical ventilation. We hypothesized that hypothermia protects from VILI and investigated whether reducing respiratory rates enhance lung protection in an in vivo model of VILI. During 4 h of mechanical ventilation, VILI was induced by tidal volumes of 18 mL/kg in rats, with respiratory rates set at 15 or 10 breaths/min in combination with hypothermia (32°C) or normothermia (37°C). Hypothermia was induced by external cooling. A physiologic model was established. VILI was characterized by increased pulmonary neutrophil influx, protein leak, wet weights, histopathology score, and cytokine levels compared with lung protective mechanical ventilation. Hypothermia decreased neutrophil influx, pulmonary levels, systemic interleukin-6 levels, and histopathology score, and it tended to decrease the pulmonary protein leak. Reducing the respiratory rate in combination with hypothermia did not reduce the parameters of the lung injury. In conclusion, hypothermia protected from lung injury in a physiologic VILI model by reducing inflammation. Decreasing the respiratory rate mildly did not enhance protection.
