Objective: Neurodevelopmental impairments after repair of congenital heart disease with cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest continue to affect the lives of children. To date, the preclinical investigation of cerebral injury mechanisms related to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest has been restricted to expensive, personnel-demanding, and cumbersome large-animal models without validated neuropsychologic assessment. We aimed to establish a rodent recovery model of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest to overcome these disadvantages.
Methods: Male rats (n = 34) were cannulated for cardiopulmonary bypass, cooled to a rectal temperature of 16 degrees C to 18 degrees C within 30 minutes, and assigned to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest durations of 0, 45, 60, 75, 90 (n = 6, respectively), or 105 (n = 4) minutes. After rewarming within 40 minutes, animals were weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass at 35.5 degrees C. Neurologic and cognitive performance was assessed with the modified hole board test until postoperative day 14. Thereafter, brains were perfusion fixed and histologically analyzed.
Results: Logistic regression analyses identified dose-dependent associations between survival, neurologic or cognitive function, and duration of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Functional and histologic deficits were detectable after clinically relevant deep hypothermic circulatory arrest durations. The overall neurologic function did not correlate with histologic outcome (r = 0.51, P > .05).
Conclusions: The current study presents a novel recovery model of cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in the rat. In contrast to studies in large animals, even clinically relevant deep hypothermic circulatory arrest durations up to 60 minutes resulted in detectable deficits. Consequently, this experimental model appears to be suitable to further elucidate the mechanisms associated with adverse cerebral outcome after cardiac surgery and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and to investigate potential neuroprotective strategies.

Background: The recurrence shortly after interventional therapy poses a great challenge in managing malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO). While cryotherapy has shown potential benefits when combined with immunotherapy in lung cancer, its effectiveness for improving local control of malignant central airway tumors is not well understood. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of combining these strategies.

Objective: The optimal method for cerebral protection during aortic arch reconstruction in neonates and infants is unknown. We compare the outcomes of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion strategies in neonatal and infant cardiac surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients aged less than 1 year who underwent aortic arch reconstruction from 2012 to 2023.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of cornea transplantation (penetrating keratoplasty, Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty, Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty, and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty) using donor corneas stored in Eusol-C hypothermic storage medium compared to corneas stored in organ-culture. : The clinical outcomes of 92 patients who underwent corneal transplantation with human donor corneas stored in Eusol-C medium at 2-8 °C were retrospectively evaluated. The control group consisted of 169 patients who received corneas organ-cultured at 31 °C.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical application value of the central venous-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (Pv-aCO2) in postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD) in patients with acute aortic dissection.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general data of 236 patients. Blood gas samples were collected from the arterial and venous lines at various time points during the surgery, including before and after the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), immediately after CPB initiation, before and after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, 30 min after rewarming, and 5 min before weaning from CPB.
Phosphorylation state of Akt in the heart during artificial deep hypothermia in Syrian hamsters.

Article Synopsis
- Hibernating animals can significantly lower their body temperature without damaging their organs, potentially due to active hypometabolism.
- Researchers studied the phosphorylation of Akt to see if metabolism decreases during artificial hypothermia in hamsters.
- They found that while hypothermia through adenosine A1 receptor activation decreased Akt phosphorylation significantly, anesthesia-induced hypothermia showed only partial reduction without organ damage, indicating both methods allow for regulated metabolic reduction.
