Unlabelled: Hypothermic preconditioning is rapid cooling and warming to induce tolerance to ischemia. The purpose of the study was to examine differences in brain and trunk temperature during hypothermic preconditioning.
Methods: Rats (n=18) were implanted with telemetric probes for simultaneous measure of brain and trunk temperature. Hypothermic preconditioning was produced by exposing rats to cool and warm environments that produced rapid cooling to 30 degrees C and warming to 35 degrees C.
Results: Brain temperature was warmer (37.56+/-0.45 degrees C) than trunk (37.17+/-0.29 degrees C) temperature in unanesthetized, free roaming rats at room temperature (t-test p=0.04). The brain cooled (0.59+/-0.1 degrees C/min) quicker than the trunk (0.44+/-0.19 degrees C/min) during cooling cycles of hypothermic preconditioning and the brain (0.28+/-0.04 degrees C/min) warmed quicker than the trunk (0.18+/-0.07 degrees C/min) during the warming cycle of hypothermic preconditioning (t-test p<0.0001). When the trunk temperature probe was designated to reach the target temperature of 35 degrees C during warming, the brain temperature (38.1+/-0.44 degrees C) was warmer than trunk temperature (34.95+/-0.16 degrees C) during the peak of warming (t-test p<0.0001).
Conclusion: The brain cools and warms quicker than the trunk during hypothermic preconditioning. Failure to anticipate these differences could lead to unrecognized brain hyperthermia during warming. Appreciation of differences in rates of change between brain and trunk temperature may be important when designing hypothermic preconditioning experiments.

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a critical gastrointestinal disease in preterm infants, for which no specific treatment is established. We previously demonstrated that thrombin-preconditioned mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles (thMSC-EVs) enhance protection against other neonatal tissue injuries. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of thMSC-EVs in modified in vitro, in vivo, and organoid models of NEC.

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has attracted considerable attention as a brain protection strategy, although its impact remains unclear. Hypothermia is the most effective strategy in experimental transient cerebral ischemia. Therefore, we compared the efficacy of RIC, hypothermia, and no treatment on cerebral ischemia.

Background: Corroborating evidence for the use of hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) prior to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) suggests a beneficial effect in regard to biliary complications. Here, the authors aim to evaluate whether perfusion via portal vein alone (sHOPE) or via additional perfusion of the hepatic artery (dHOPE) have diverging impact on outcomes after OLT when compared to the use of static cold storage (SCS).
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing OLT at the Medical University of Vienna (2018-2023) were retrospectively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- Global warming has increased cold extremes that impact aquaculture economies, especially affecting milkfish (Chanos chanos) in subtropical regions due to high mortality from cold stress.* -
- Researchers established a primary culture of milkfish liver cells to study the cellular response to cold stress, finding that the salinity levels of the water dramatically influenced reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses and cell death rates.* -
- Transcriptomic analysis revealed distinct gene expression patterns linked to cold stress, with seawater conditions promoting metabolic pathways and fresh water leading to increased cell death, highlighting potential strategies for mitigating aquaculture losses.*
