'Floating' microelectrodes were used to examine the transmembrane potentials of left and right ventricular cardiomyocytes in the guinea pig exposed to deep cooling. In the wide range of temperatures (37 to 20 degrees C), the transmembrane potentials did not substantially change, no fibrillation occurred. There may be a spontaneous reversible ventricular fibrillation in hypothermia where asynchronous excitation of myocardial cells occurs during cell membrane depolarization, which is essentially less than at normal body temperature.

A strong repetitive stimulus can occasionally enhance axonal excitability, leading to the generation of afterdischarge. This afterdischarge outlasts the stimulus period and originates either from the physiological spike initiation site, typically the axon initial segment, or from ectopic sites for spike generation. One of the possible mechanisms underlying the stimulus-induced ectopic afterdischarge is the local depolarization due to accumulated potassium ions surrounding the axonal membranes of the distal portion.

College of Animal Science and Technology, Qingdao Agricultural University, Qingdao, 266109, China.

Background: The cryoinjury of semen during cryopreservation reduces sperm motility, constraining the application of artificial insemination (AI) in bovine reproduction. Some fertility markers, related to sperm motility before and after freezing have been identified. However, little is known about the biological mechanism through which freezing reduces sperm motility.

To investigate the neuroprotective mechanism of mild hypothermia (MH) in ameliorating cerebral ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury. The Pulsinelli's four-vessel ligation method was utilized to establish a rat model of global cerebral IR injury. To investigate the role of S100A8 in MH treatment of cerebral IR injury, hippocampus-specific S100A8 loss or gain of function was achieved using an adeno-associated virus system.
