AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how autophagy affects brain recovery during moderate hypothermia after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats.
- Researchers divided the rats into three groups to assess the impact of hypothermia and autophagy inhibition using 3-methyladenine on brain function and cellular processes.
- Results indicate that inhibiting autophagy worsens behavioral outcomes and increases cell death, suggesting that autophagy may play a protective role in brain recovery post-TBI.
Article Abstract
Objective: The role of autophagy in moderate hypothermia in posttraumatic brain injury (post-TBI) remains elusive. In this study, we evaluated the protective role of autophagy in post-TBI moderate hypothermia.
Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 36/group): TBI with hypothermia group (sham), TBI with hypothermia and a single intracerebroventricular injection of saline (saline, 5 μL), and TBI with hypothermia and a single intracerebroventricular injection of 3-methyladenine (600 nmol, diluted in 0.9% saline to a final volume of 5 μL). All rats, except those in the behavioral tests, were killed at 24 hours after fluid percussion TBI. Immunohistochemistry staining, western blot, and transmission electron microscopy were performed to assess changes in apoptosis and autophagy after injection of 3-methyladenine. Motor function (beam-walk test) and spatial learning/memory (Morris water maze) were assessed on postoperative days 1-5 and 11-15, respectively.
Results: Our results showed downregulation of the expression level of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 and Beclin-1, aggravation of behavioral outcome, and increase of apoptosis.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that the autophagy pathway is involved in the neuroprotective effect of post-TBI hypothermia and negative modulation of apoptosis may be 1 possible mechanism.

The effect of sex in outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains uncertain. We explored whether outcomes differed between women and men after standardized care management during the first 5 days in the intensive care unit (ICU). This study was an observational analysis of the OXY-TC multicenter randomized clinical trial between June 15, 2016 and April 17, 2021.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading public health concerns in the world. Therapeutic hypothermia is routinely used in severe TBI, and pathophysiological hyperthermia, frequently observed in TBI patients, has an unclear impact on drug transport in the injured brain due to a lack of study on its effects. We investigated the effect of post-traumatic therapeutic hypothermia at 33°C and pathophysiological hyperthermia at 39°C on brain transport and cell uptake of neuroprotectants after TBI.

Objective: In 2006, the Korean Neurotraumatology Society (KNTS) established the 1st Korean Neurotrauma Data Bank Committee (KNTDBC) and developed the Korean Neurotrauma Data Bank System (KNTDBS). Full-scale registration of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient data began in September 2010. Since then, KNTS has conducted two trauma-related data registration projects and is now in its 5th term of the KNTDBC.

Background: Hypothermia is known to contribute to poor outcomes in trauma patients during acute phases. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of hypothermia on admission, upon in-hospital complications and mortality in adult trauma patients.
Methods: We performed a 5-year analysis of ACS-TQIP database (2017-2021).

Lactates accumulation following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is detrimental. However, whether lactylation is triggered and involved in the deterioration of TBI remains unknown. Here, we first report that Tufm lactylation pathway induces neuronal apoptosis in TBI.
