It is widely believed that rewarming slowly after therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic (HI) encephalopathy can improve outcomes, but its impact on white matter injury after HI is unclear. Fetal sheep (0.85 gestation) received 30 min ischemia-normothermia (n = 8), or hypothermia from 3-48 h with rapid spontaneous rewarming over 1 h (ischemia-48 h hypothermia, n = 8), or 48 h with slow rewarming over 24 h (ischemia-slow rewarming, n = 7) or 72 h with rapid rewarming (ischemia-72 h hypothermia, n = 8). Ischemia was associated with loss of total and mature oligodendrocytes and reduced area fraction of myelin basic protein (MBP) and 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNPase; immature/mature oligodendrocytes) and increased microglia and astrocytes. Total numbers of oligodendrocytes were increased by all hypothermia protocols but only ischemia-72 h hypothermia attenuated loss of mature oligodendrocytes. All hypothermia protocols similarly increased the area fraction of MBP, whereas there was only an intermediate effect on the area fraction of CNPase. Microglia were suppressed by all hypothermia protocols, with the greatest reduction after ischemia-72 h hypothermia, and an intermediate effect after ischemia-slow rewarming. By contrast, induction of astrocytes was significantly reduced only after ischemia-slow rewarming. In conclusion, slow rewarming after hypothermia did not improve oligodendrocyte survival or myelination or suppression of microgliosis compared to fast rewarming, but modestly reduced astrocytosis.

Background: The effect of targeted temperature management (TTM) combined with decompressive craniectomy (DC) on poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has not been previously addressed in the literature. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic outcomes of the combination of TTM and DC in patients with poor-grade aSAH.
Methods: This study represents a secondary analysis of the Multicenter Clinical Research on Targeted Temperature Management of Poor-grade Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (High-Quality TTM for PaSAH), a multicenter prospective study conducted in China.
Vitrification and rapid rewarming of precision-cut liver slices for pharmacological and biomedical research.

Background And Aims: High-throughput in vitro pharmacological toxicity testing is essential for drug discovery. Precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) provide a robust system for screening that is more representative of the complex 3D structure of the whole liver than isolated hepatocytes. However, PCLS are not available as off-the-shelf products, significantly limiting their translational potential.

Article Synopsis
- - The compound polycrystalline [FeL2][BF4]2 demonstrates a significant hysteretic spin transition around 240 K, with its behavior influenced by sample history, consisting of two related high-spin polymorphs (HS1 and HS2).
- - Upon cooling, both high-spin forms transition to low-spin phases (LS3 and LS4) at approximately 230 K, with LS3 coming from HS1 and LS4 from HS2, showing different crystal structures and transition temperatures.
- - Repeated cycling through the spin transition results in a gradual increase of HS1 and LS3 phases while depleting HS2 and LS4, indicating complex phase behavior and sample-dependent characteristics across related iron(II) and

The optimal rate of rewarming after therapeutic hypothermia is unclear. Slow rewarming may reduce cardiovascular instability and rebound seizures, but there is little controlled evidence to support this. The present study aimed to determine whether slow rewarming can improve neuroprotection after 72 h of hypothermia.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different temperatures during reperfusion after cardiac arrest affect brain function and overall survival using a rat model.
- Rats were divided into three groups receiving normothermic (37°C), mild hypothermic (33°C), or moderate hypothermic (27°C) treatments after experiencing ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest (VFCA).
- While survival rates did not significantly differ among the groups, mild hypothermia (33°C) led to better neurological outcomes, indicated by higher awakening rates and lower neurological deficit scores compared to the other temperatures.
