Potential Role of Caveolin-1 in Regulating the Function of Endothelial Progenitor Cells from Experimental MODS Model. Mediators Inflamm 2019; 2019:8297391. [PMID: 31148948 PMCID: PMC6501138 DOI: 10.1155/2019/8297391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2018] [Revised: 02/27/2019] [Accepted: 03/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) remains a great challenge in critical care because of its common occurrence, high cost of care, and high mortality. Vascular endothelial injury is the initiation step in the development of MODS, and EPCs are essential for the process of organ repair. It is unclear whether and how caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in EPCs contributes to the pathogenesis of MODS. The present study is aimed at investigating the potential role of Cav-1 in EPCs during MODS. We established a MODS model in pigs, isolated and characterized EPCs from the MODS model, and tracked Cav-1 expression and various in vitro behaviors of EPCs from the MODS model. Then, we knockdown Cav-1 expression with siRNA or induce Cav-1 expression with proinflammatory factors to evaluate potential effects on EPCs. Our results suggest that Cav-1 expression correlated with EPC functions during MODS and Cav-1 regulates the function of endothelial progenitor cells via PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling during MODS. Thus, Cav-1 in EPCs could be an attractive target for the treatment of MODS.

Burggraf M, Lendemans S, Waack IN, Teloh JK, Effenberger-Neidnicht K, Jäger M, Rohrig R. Slow as Compared to Rapid Rewarming After Mild Hypothermia Improves Survival in Experimental Shock. J Surg Res 2018; 236:300-310. [PMID: 30694770 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2018.11.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2018] [Revised: 10/29/2018] [Accepted: 11/30/2018] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accidental hypothermia following trauma is an independent risk factor for mortality. However, in most experimental studies, hypothermia clearly improves outcome. We hypothesized that slow rewarming is beneficial over rapid rewarming following mild hypothermia in a rodent model of hemorrhagic shock. MATERIALS AND METHODS We subjected 32 male Wistar rats to severe hemorrhagic shock (25-30 mmHg for 30 min). Rats were assigned to four experimental groups (normothermia, hypothermia, rapid rewarming [RW], and slow RW). During induction of severe shock, all but the normothermia group were cooled to 34°C. After 60 min of shock, rats were resuscitated with Ringer's solution. The two RW groups were rewarmed at differing rates (6°C/h versus 2°C/h). RESULTS Slow RW animals exhibit a significantly prolonged survival compared with the rapid RW animals (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, hypothermic animals show a significant survival benefit as compared to all other experimental groups. Whereas seven animals of the hypothermia group survived to the end of the experiment, none of the other animals did (P < 0.001). No significant differences were found regarding acid base status, metabolism, parameters of organ injury, and coagulation. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that even slow RW with 2°C/h may be still too fast in the setting of experimental hemorrhage. Too rapid rewarming may result in a loss of the protective effects of hypothermia. As rewarming is ultimately inevitable in patients with trauma, potential effects of rewarming on patient outcome should be further investigated in clinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies revealed evidence that induced hypothermia attenuates ischemic organ injuries after severe trauma. In the present study, the effect of hypothermia on liver damage was investigated in a porcine long term model of multi-system injury, consisting of blunt chest trauma, penetrating abdominal trauma, musculoskeletal injury, and hemorrhagic shockMETHODS: In 30 pigs, a standardized polytrauma including blunt chest trauma, penetrating abdominal trauma, musculoskeletal injury, and hemorrhagic shock of 45% of total blood volume was induced. Following trauma, hypothermia of 33∘C was induced for 12 h and intensive care treatment was evaluated for 48 h. As outcome parameters, we assessed liver function and serum transaminase levels as well as a histopathological analysis of tissue samples. A further 10 animals served as controls. RESULTS Serum transaminase levels were increased at the end of the observation period following hypothermia without reaching statistical significance compared to normothermic groups. Liver function was preserved (p⩽ 0.05) after the rewarming period in hypothermic animals but showed no difference at the end of the observation period. In H&E staining, cell death was slightly increased hypothermic animals and caspase-3 staining displayed tendency towards more apoptosis in hypothermic group as well. CONCLUSIONS Induction of hypothermia could not significantly improve hepatic damage during the first 48 h following major trauma. Further studies focusing on multi-organ failure including a longer observation period are required to illuminate the impact of hypothermia on hepatic function in multiple trauma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mucosal layer plays an important role in regulating the intestinal barrier function. However, the underlying mechanisms of intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by trauma-hemorrhagic shock (THS) are still unknown. METHODS In this study, we examined the barrier damages, inflammatory responses as well as the metabolic changes of the mucosal layer of the colon in a THS rat model. RESULTS The results showed that compared to the rats treated with trauma only, THS induced marked failure of intestinal barrier characterized by increased intestinal permeability, inflammatory cell infiltration and decreased expression of genes involved in epithelial integrity. Moreover, decreased colonic mucus content and goblet cell numbers indicated that the mucosal layer was also impaired in response to THS. This was companied by the anomalous inflammatory responses in the tissue. Finally, microdialysis catheter examination showed that metabolites including glycerol, glucose, lactate and pyruvate, glutamate and glutamine were also altered by THS. CONCLUSION Our results provide evidence that mucus layer-associated metabolic changes may contribute to the THS-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Survival in exsanguinating cardiac arrest patients is poor, as is neurological outcome in survivors. Hypothermia has traditionally been seen as harmful to trauma patients and associated with increased mortality; however, there has been speculation that cooling to very low temperatures (≤20°C) could be used to treat haemorrhagic trauma patients by the induction of a suspended animation period through extreme cooling, which improves survival and preserves neurological function. This has been termed emergency preservation and resuscitation (EPR). METHODS A systematic review of the literature was used to examine the evidence base behind the use of deep and profound hypothermia in haemorrhagic shock (HS). It included original research articles (human or animal) with cooling to ≤20°C after HS or an experimental model replicating it. Normovolaemic cardiac arrest, central nervous system injury and non-HS models were excluded. RESULTS Twenty articles using 456 animal subjects were included, in which 327 were cooled to ≤20°C. All studies describing good survival rates were possible using EPR and 19/20 demonstrated that EPR can preserve neurological function after prolonged periods of circulatory arrest or minimal circulatory flow. This additional period can be used for surgical intervention to arrest haemorrhage in HS that would otherwise be lethal. CONCLUSIONS The outcomes of this review have significant implications for application to human patients and the ongoing human clinical trial (EPR for Cardiac Arrest from Trauma). Current evidence suggests that hypothermia ≤20°C used in the form of EPR could be beneficial to the HS patient.

Effects of Hyperoxia and Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia During Resuscitation From Porcine Hemorrhagic Shock. Crit Care Med 2016; 44:e264-77.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hemorrhagic shock-induced tissue hypoxia induces hyperinflammation, ultimately causing multiple organ failure. Hyperoxia and hypothermia can attenuate tissue hypoxia due to increased oxygen supply and decreased demand, respectively. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis whether mild therapeutic hypothermia and hyperoxia would attenuate postshock hyperinflammation and thereby organ dysfunction. DESIGN Prospective, controlled, randomized study. SETTING University animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS Thirty-six Bretoncelles-Meishan-Willebrand pigs of either gender. INTERVENTIONS After 4 hours of hemorrhagic shock (removal of 30% of the blood volume, subsequent titration of mean arterial pressure at 35 mm Hg), anesthetized and instrumented pigs were randomly assigned to "control" (standard resuscitation: retransfusion of shed blood, fluid resuscitation, norepinephrine titrated to maintain mean arterial pressure at preshock values, mechanical ventilation titrated to maintain arterial oxygen saturation > 90%), "hyperoxia" (standard resuscitation, but FIO2, 1.0), "hypothermia" (standard resuscitation, but core temperature 34°C), or "combi" (hyperoxia plus hypothermia) (n = 9 each). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Before, immediately at the end of and 12 and 22 hours after hemorrhagic shock, we measured hemodynamics, blood gases, acid-base status, metabolism, organ function, cytokine production, and coagulation. Postmortem kidney specimen were taken for histological evaluation, immunohistochemistry (nitrotyrosine, cystathionine γ-lyase, activated caspase-3, and extravascular albumin), and immunoblotting (nuclear factor-κB, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, heme oxygenase-1, inducible nitric oxide synthase, B-cell lymphoma-extra large, and protein expression of the endogenous nuclear factor-κB inhibitor). Although hyperoxia alone attenuated the postshock hyperinflammation and thereby tended to improve visceral organ function, hypothermia and combi treatment had no beneficial effect. CONCLUSIONS During resuscitation from near-lethal hemorrhagic shock, hyperoxia attenuated hyperinflammation, and thereby showed a favorable trend toward improved organ function. The lacking efficacy of hypothermia was most likely due to more pronounced barrier dysfunction with vascular leakage-induced circulatory failure.

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

Long-Term Effects of Induced Hypothermia on Local and Systemic Inflammation - Results from a Porcine Long-Term Trauma Model. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0154788.

Abstract
Background Hypothermia has been discussed as playing a role in improving the early phase of systemic inflammation. However, information on the impact of hypothermia on the local inflammatory response is sparse. We therefore investigated the kinetics of local and systemic inflammation in the late posttraumatic phase after induction of hypothermia in an established porcine long-term model of combined trauma. Materials & Methods Male pigs (35 ± 5kg) were mechanically ventilated and monitored over the study period of 48 h. Combined trauma included tibia fracture, lung contusion, liver laceration and pressure-controlled hemorrhagic shock (MAP < 30 ± 5 mmHg for 90 min). After resuscitation, hypothermia (33°C) was induced for a period of 12 h (HT-T group) with subsequent re-warming over a period of 10 h. The NT-T group was kept normothermic. Systemic and local (fracture hematoma) cytokine levels (IL-6, -8, -10) and alarmins (HMGB1, HSP70) were measured via ELISA. Results Severe signs of shock as well as systemic and local increases of pro-inflammatory mediators were observed in both trauma groups. In general the local increase of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediator levels was significantly higher and prolonged compared to systemic concentrations. Induction of hypothermia resulted in a significantly prolonged elevation of both systemic and local HMGB1 levels at 48 h compared to the NT-T group. Correspondingly, local IL-6 levels demonstrated a significantly prolonged increase in the HT-T group at 48 h. Conclusion A prolonged inflammatory response might reduce the well-described protective effects on organ and immune function observed in the early phase after hypothermia induction. Furthermore, local immune response also seems to be affected. Future studies should aim to investigate the use of therapeutic hypothermia at different degrees and duration of application.

Abstract
Microvascular inflammation occurs during resuscitation following hemorrhagic shock, causing multiple organ dysfunction and mortality. Preclinical evidence suggests that hypothermia may have some benefit in selected patients by decreasing this inflammation, but this effect has not been extensively studied. Intravital microscopy was used to visualize mesenteric venules of anesthetized rats in real time to evaluate leukocyte adherence and mast cell degranulation. Animals were randomly allocated to normotensive or hypotensive groups and further subdivided into hypothermic and normothermic resuscitation (n = 6 per group). Animals in the shock groups underwent mean arterial blood pressure reduction to 40 to 45 mmHg for 1 h via blood withdrawal. During the first 2 h following resuscitation by infusion of shed blood plus double that volume of normal saline, rectal temperature of the hypothermic groups was maintained at 32°C to 34°C, whereas the normothermic groups were maintained between 36°C to 38°C. The hypothermic group was then rewarmed for the final 2 h of resuscitation. Leukocyte adherence was significantly lower after 2 h of hypothermic resuscitation compared with normothermic resuscitation: (2.8 ± 0.8 vs. 8.3 ± 1.3 adherent leukocytes, P = 0.004). Following rewarming, leukocyte adherence remained significantly different between hypothermic and normothermic shock groups: (4.7 ± 1.2 vs. 9.5 ± 1.6 adherent leukocytes, P = 0.038). Mast cell degranulation index (MDI) was significantly decreased in the hypothermic (1.02 ± 0.04 MDI) versus normothermic (1.22 ± 0.07 MDI) shock groups (P = 0.038) after the experiment. Induced hypothermia during resuscitation following hemorrhagic shock attenuates microvascular inflammation in rat mesentery. Furthermore, this decrease in inflammation is carried over after rewarming takes place.

Induced Hypothermia Does Not Harm Hemodynamics after Polytrauma: A Porcine Model. Mediators Inflamm 2015; 2015:829195.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The deterioration of hemodynamics instantly endangers the patients' life after polytrauma. As accidental hypothermia frequently occurs in polytrauma, therapeutic hypothermia still displays an ambivalent role as the impact on the cardiopulmonary function is not yet fully understood. METHODS We have previously established a porcine polytrauma model including blunt chest trauma, penetrating abdominal trauma, and hemorrhagic shock. Therapeutic hypothermia (34°C) was induced for 3 hours. We documented cardiovascular parameters and basic respiratory parameters. Pigs were euthanized after 15.5 hours. RESULTS Our polytrauma porcine model displayed sufficient trauma impact. Resuscitation showed adequate restoration of hemodynamics. Induced hypothermia had neither harmful nor major positive effects on the animals' hemodynamics. Though heart rate significantly decreased and mixed venous oxygen saturation significantly increased during therapeutic hypothermia. Mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure, and wedge pressure showed no significant differences comparing normothermic trauma and hypothermic trauma pigs during hypothermia. CONCLUSIONS Induced hypothermia after polytrauma is feasible. No major harmful effects on hemodynamics were observed. Therapeutic hypothermia revealed hints for tissue protective impact. But the chosen length for therapeutic hypothermia was too short. Nevertheless, therapeutic hypothermia might be a useful tool for intensive care after polytrauma. Future studies should extend therapeutic hypothermia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypothermia is associated with poor outcome in trauma patients; however, hemorrhagic shock (HS) model with anesthetized swine was different from that of clinical reality. To identify the effects of environmental hypothermia on HS, we investigated hemodynamics and oxygen dynamics in an unanesthetized swine model of HS under simulating hypothermia environment. METHODS Totally 16 Bama pigs were randomly divided into ambient temperature group (group A) and low temperature group (group B), 8 pigs in each group. Venous blood (30 mL/kg) was continuously withdrawn for more than 15 minutes in conscious swine to establish a hemorrhagic shock model. Pulmonary arterial temperature (Tp), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP), central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output (CO), hemoglobin (Hb), saturation of mixed venous blood (SvO2) and blood gas analysis were recorded at the baseline and different hemorrhagic shock time (HST). The whole body oxygen delivery indices, DO2I and VO2I, and the O2 extraction ratio (O2ER) were calculated. RESULTS Core body temperature in group A decreased slightly after the hemorrhagic shock model was established, and environmental hypothermia decreased in core body temperature. The mortality rate was significantly higher in group B (50%) than in group A (0%). DO2I and VO2I decreased significantly after hemorrhage. No difference was found in hemodynamics, DO2I and VO2I between group A and group B, but the difference in pH, lactic acid and O2ER was significant between the two groups. CONCLUSION Environmental hypothermia aggravated the disorder of oxygen metabolism after hemorrhagic shock, which was associated with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hypothermia on survival and coagulopathy in hemorrhagic shock presenting as the "triad of death". Methods Sixteen rats were lightly anesthetized with halothane while maintaining spontaneous breathing. The triad of death was simulated by inducing hypothermia (32.0°C) with surface body cooling and hemodilution with replacement of 20 mL blood with 50 mL normal saline. Then, rats were randomly assigned to one of two rectal temperature groups (n = 8/group: group 1, rewarming to 37.0°C; group 2, maintenance at 32.0°C) and subjected to hemorrhagic shock initiated by amputation of the tail at 75% of its length. The rats were then observed for survival time without fluid resuscitation. Blood coagulability with Sonoclot analysis was also assessed. Results The triad of death status was considered as being induced at a rectal temperature of 32°C, arterial pH of 7.22, and deteriorating coagulating values. At 45 min after randomization, Sonoclot analysis revealed prolonged activated clotting times of 355 ± 131 s and "time to peak" of 23 ± 9 min in group 2, compared to 228 ± 64 s and 12 ± 1 min (P < 0.05) in group 1, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves showed longer survival in group 2 than group 1 (P = 0.06). Conclusions Compared to rewarming, hypothermia aggravates coagulation parameters, but does not hasten death during untreated hemorrhagic shock presenting as the triad of death.

Relevance of induced and accidental hypothermia after trauma-haemorrhage-what do we know from experimental models in pigs? Intensive Care Med Exp 2014; 2:16. [PMID: 26266916 PMCID: PMC4512998 DOI: 10.1186/2197-425x-2-16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2013] [Accepted: 04/06/2014] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent experimental research has either focused on the role of accidental hypothermia as part of the lethal triad after trauma or tried to elucidate the effects of therapeutically induced hypothermia on the posttraumatic course. Induced hypothermia seems to reduce the mortality in experimental models of trauma-haemorrhage. As potential mechanisms, a decrease of cellular metabolism, beneficial effects on haemodynamic function and an attenuation of the inflammatory response have been described. However, negative side effects of hypothermia have to be considered, such as impairment of the coagulatory function and immunosuppressive effects. Furthermore, the optimal strategy for the induction of hypothermia (magnitude, duration, timing, cooling rate, etc.) and subsequent rewarming remains unclear. Nevertheless, this piece of information is essential before considering hypothermia as a treatment strategy for severely injured patients. This review aims to elaborate the differences between accidental and induced hypothermia and to summarize the current knowledge of the potential therapeutic use of induced hypothermia suggested in porcine models of trauma-haemorrhage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Accidental hypothermia increases mortality and morbidity after hemorrhage, but controversial data are available on the effects of therapeutic hypothermia. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis whether moderate pretreatment hypothermia would beneficially influence organ dysfunction during long-term, porcine hemorrhage and resuscitation. DESIGN Prospective, controlled, randomized study. SETTING University animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS Twenty domestic pigs of either gender. INTERVENTIONS Using an extracorporeal heat exchanger, anesthetized and instrumented animals were maintained at 38°C, 35°C, or 32°C core temperature and underwent 4 hours of hemorrhage (removal of 40% of the blood volume and subsequent blood removal/retransfusion to maintain mean arterial pressure at 30 mm Hg). Resuscitation comprised of hydroxyethyl starch and norepinephrine infusion titrated to maintain mean arterial pressure at preshock values. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Before, immediately at the end of, and 12 and 22 hours after hemorrhage, we measured systemic and regional hemodynamics (portal vein, hepatic and right kidney artery ultrasound flow probes) and oxygen transport, and nitric oxide and cytokine production. Hemostasis was assessed by rotation thromboelastometry. Postmortem biopsies were analyzed for histomorphology (hematoxylin and eosin staining) and markers of apoptosis (kidney Bcl-xL and caspase-3 expression). Hypothermia at 32°C attenuated the shock-related lactic acidosis but caused metabolic acidosis, most likely resulting from reduced carbohydrate oxidation. Although hypothermia did not further aggravate shock-related coagulopathy, it caused a transitory attenuation of kidney and liver dysfunction, which was ultimately associated with reduced histological damage and more pronounced apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS During long-term porcine hemorrhage and resuscitation, moderate pretreatment hypothermia was associated with a transitory attenuation of organ dysfunction and less severe histological tissue damage despite more pronounced metabolic acidosis. This effect is possibly due to a switch from necrotic to apoptotic cell death, ultimately resulting from reduced tissue energy deprivation during the shock phase.

Induced hypothermia does not impair coagulation system in a swine multiple trauma model. J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2013; 74:1014-20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accidental hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy represent the lethal triad in severely injured patients. Therapeutic hypothermia however is commonly used in transplantations, cardiac and neurosurgical surgery, or after cardiac arrest. However, the effects of therapeutic hypothermia on the coagulation system following multiple trauma need to be elucidated. METHODS In a porcine model of multiple trauma including blunt chest injury, liver laceration, and hemorrhagic shock followed by fluid resuscitation, the influence of therapeutic hypothermia on coagulation was evaluated. A total of 40 pigs were randomly assigned to sham (only anesthesia) or trauma groups receiving either hypothermia or normothermia. Each group consisted of 10 pigs. Analyzed parameters were cell count (red blood cells, platelets), pH, prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen concentration, and analysis with ROTEM and Multiplate. RESULTS Trauma and consecutive fluid resuscitation resulted in impaired coagulation parameters (cell count, pH, PT, fibrinogen, ROTEM, and platelet function). During hypothermia, coagulation parameters measured at 37°C, such as PT, fibrinogen, thrombelastometry measurements, and platelet function, showed no significant differences between normothermic and hypothermic animals in both trauma groups. Additional analyses of thrombelastometry at 34°C during hypothermia showed significant differences for clotting time and clot formation time but not for maximum clot firmness. We were not able to detect macroscopic or petechial bleeding in both trauma groups. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the present study we suggest that mild hypothermia can be safely performed after stabilization following major trauma. Mild hypothermia has effects on the coagulation system but does not aggravate trauma-induced coagulopathy in our model. Before hypothermic treatment can be performed in the clinical setting, additional experiments with prolonged and deeper hypothermia to exclude detrimental effects are required.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generally involved in lung inflammation and acute lung injury. We investigated the effects of hypothermia on ROS-induced cell damage in human alveolar type II cells. A549 cells were exposed to H2O2 and cultured at different temperatures, namely, normthermia (37°C), mild hypothermia (34°C), or moderate hypothermia (32°C). Cell damage was measured using various assays. The biochemical studies demonstrated a significant increase in apoptosis and intracellular ROS at 32°C in uninjured A549 cells. After exposure to H2O2, a marked decrease in cell viability (<50%) was demonstrated, and this was significantly ameliorated upon culture at 32°C. Significantly intracellular damage was found to affect the 24-hour H2O2-exposed cells in 37°C (P < .05), including an increase in apoptosis and necrosis, intracellular ROS, caspase-3 activity, HMGB1 protein expression, and some alterations to the cell cycle. On hypothermic treatment, the 24-hour H2O2-induced caspase-3 activation was significantly suppressed in cells cultured at both 32°C and 34°C (P < .05 versus 37°C). The cell cycle changes in 24-hour H2O2-exposed cells were significantly diminished when the cells were cultured in 32°C (P < .05 versus 37°C). However, these intracellular alterations were not seen in 6-hour H2O2-exposed cells. We concluded that moderate hypothermia (32°C) of alveolar epithelial A549 cells seems to provide protection against H2O2-induced 24-hour oxidative stress by attenuating cell death and intracellular damage. However, moderate hypothermia might cause minor damage to uninjured cells, so the use of hypothermic treatment needs to be judiciously applied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute coagulopathy, hypothermia, and acidosis are the lethal triad of conditions manifested by major trauma patients. Recent animal studies have reported that hypothermia improves survival in animals subjected to controlled haemorrhagic shock. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of hypothermia on coagulation in rats subjected to uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock. METHODS Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: normothermia (control, group N), hypothermia (group H), hypothermic haemorrhagic shock (group HS), and normothermic haemorrhagic shock (group NS). Haemorrhagic shock was induced by splenic laceration. Capacity for coagulation was measured by rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM(®)), and was measured at baseline as well as the end of the shock and resuscitation periods. Survival was observed for 48 h post-trauma. RESULTS Baseline parameters were not different amongst the groups. Rats exposed to hypothermia alone did not differ in coagulation capacity compared to the control group. Clot formation time (CFT) and maximal clot firmness (MCF) in group HS decreased as the experiment progressed. Maximal clot firmness time (MCFt) in groups H and HS was significantly prolonged during shock and resuscitation compared with that in group NS. In group NS, MCF did not change significantly, but MCFt was reduced compared with baseline. Group HS had poor survival when compared with normovolaemic groups. CONCLUSION Blood clotted less firmly in traumatic haemorrhagic shock, and hypothermia prolonged clotting. However, clot firmness maximised rapidly under normothermic haemorrhagic shock. Haemorrhage would continue for a longer time in hypothermic haemorrhagic shock. Survival of hypothermic shock was not significantly different compared to that of normothermic haemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Hypovolaemic shock that results through traumatically inflicted haemorrhage can have disastrous consequences for the victim. Initially the body can compensate for lost circulating volume, but as haemorrhage continues compensatory mechanisms fail and the patient's condition worsens significantly. Hypovolaemia results in the lethal triad, a combination of hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy, three factors that are interlinked and serve to worsen each other. The lethal triad is a form of vicious cycle, which unless broken will result in death. This report will focus on the role of hypothermia (a third of the lethal triad) in trauma, examining literature to assess how prehospital temperature control can impact on the trauma patient. Spontaneous hypothermia following trauma has severely deleterious consequences for the trauma victim; however, both active warming of patients and clinically induced hypothermia can produce particularly positive results and improve patient outcome. Possible coagulopathic side effects of clinically induced hypothermia may be corrected with topical haemostatic agents, with the benefits of an extended golden hour given by clinically induced hypothermia far outweighing these risks. Active warming of patients, to prevent spontaneous trauma induced hypothermia, is currently the only viable method currently available to improve patient outcome. This method is easy to implement requiring simple protocols and contributes significantly to interrupting the lethal triad. However, the future of trauma care appears to lie with clinically induced therapeutic hypothermia. This new treatment provides optimism that in the future the number of deaths resulting from catastrophic haemorrhaging may be significantly lessened.

Abstract
Treatment of polytrauma patients remains a medical as well as socioeconomic challenge. Although diagnostics and therapy improved during the last decades, multiple injuries are still the major cause of fatalities in patients below 45 years of age. Organ dysfunction and organ failure are major complications in patients with major injuries and contribute to mortality during the clinical course. Profound understanding of the systemic pathophysiological response is crucial for innovative therapeutic approaches. Therefore, experimental studies in various animal models are necessary. This review is aimed at providing detailed information of common trauma models in small as well as in large animals.
