Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Shenzhen University Medical School, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518055, China. Electronic address:

Activation of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-associated mast cells (MCs) triggers the onset of pro-inflammatory signals associated with type I allergic diseases. Although histone acetylation changes have been associated with inflammatory diseases, the impact of lysine-acetyltransferase (KAT) inhibitors on IgE-mediated MCs function is unclear. Potential anti-allergic effects of the KAT6A inhibitor WM-1119 on IgE-mediated MCs activation and allergic inflammation were examined in this study.

Rationale: Cardiac arrest (CA) is an acute emergency with high mortality and is closely associated with the risk of brain damage or systemic ischemia-reperfusion injury, post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Patient Concerns: Targeted temperature management in the intensive care unit can improve the neurological outcomes of patients who are comatose after resuscitation from CA. However, there is often a lack of specific evaluation methods for optimal target temperature settings.

Mild therapeutic hypothermia showed potential neuroprotective properties during and after cerebral hypoxia or ischemia in experimental animal studies. However, in clinical trials, where hypothermia is mainly applied after reperfusion, results were divergent and neurophysiological effects unclear. In our current study, we employed human-derived neuronal networks to investigate how treatment with hypothermia during hypoxia influences neuronal functionality and whether it improves post-hypoxic recovery.

Objectives: This study investigates the impact of bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion time on outcomes in aortic arch surgery.

Methods: In total, 961 patients underwent either hemi arch (n = 385) or total arch replacement (n = 576) with bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion and moderate hypothermia management between 2006 and 2020 across 2 aortic centers. Antegrade cerebral perfusion time was categorized into 4 groups (≤30 min: n = 169, 30-60min: n = 298, 60-90min: n = 261, >90min: n = 233).

Background: Although maintaining a stable body temperature during the perioperative period is crucial for the recovery of neonates, hypothermia frequently occurs during surgical procedures in this vulnerable population. A comprehensive analysis of intraoperative details, including medical history and monitoring, is therefore essential for understanding temperature variations and identifying risk factors for severe hypothermia.

Objective: In this study, we delineated the characteristic patterns of intraoperative temperature fluctuations in neonates and determined the risk factors impacting the severity of hypothermia.

Shelters in Alpine Rescue: Can They Create a Comfortable Zone at the Deployment Site?

Wilderness Environ Med

December 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria.

Introduction: Lightweight shelters made of water- and windproof polyester are frequently used by mountain rescue, but information on physical and psychological stress during their use is scarce.

Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted with 48 experienced rescuers who performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation training on a manikin in a shelter in alpine terrain. The objective parameters of air temperature, moisture, and concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen were measured inside the shelter.

Given that perioperative normothermia represents a quality parameter in pediatric anesthesia, numerous studies have been conducted on temperature measurement, albeit with heterogeneous measurement intervals, ranging from 30 s to fifteen minutes. We aimed to determine the minimum time interval for reporting of intraoperative core body temperature across commonly used measurement intervals in children. Data were extracted from the records of 65 children who had participated in another clinical study and analyzed using a quasibinomial mixed linear model.

Many cancer patients have their main tumors surgically removed with the goal of curing them, or as part of palliative care. When a patient receives general anesthesia, the side effects of the administered chemotherapy regimens must be considered, especially those that may have significant repercussions during anesthetic care. The aim of this study is to review the existing literature to identify adverse effects of chemotherapy and known interactions between chemotherapy and anesthetic drugs, analyze the mechanisms underlying these interactions, and discuss relevant clinical implications.

In term neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebellar injury is becoming more and more acknowledged. Animal studies demonstrated that Purkinje cells (PCs) are especially vulnerable for hypoxic-ischemic injury. In neonates, however, the extent and pattern of PC injury has not been investigated.

Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring remains crucial during surgery in infants and children. Although generally uncommon in pediatric-aged patients, ECG changes may occasionally be indicative of a variety of myocardial pathologies including anomalous origin of coronary arteries, ventricular hypertrophy, myocarditis, hypothermia, drug effects, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base disturbances or conduction system disorders such as Wolff-Parkinson-White and Brugada syndrome. Distinguishing between pathologic and non-pathologic conditions impacting the ECG must be considered so that appropriate interventions are provided to prevent perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Effectiveness of a new thermal insulation blanket in the control of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia and comfort: a randomized controlled trial.

BMC Anesthesiol

December 2024

Escola Superior de Enfermagem do Porto, CINTESIS@RISE, Rua Dr. António Bernardino de Almeida, Porto, 4200-072, Portugal.

Background: Disturbances in the thermoregulatory system can precipitate inadvertent hypothermia in patients undergoing surgeries lasting over 60 min, causing serious complications in the recovery process. Cutaneous thermal protection is relevant for the control of temperature of patients in the perioperative setting. The standard thermal protection widely utilized is an electric forced warm air blanket.

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.

To investigate the changes of body temperature and nursing intervention of patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery in lung tumor treatment. A total of 100 patients with lung cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as research objects, and were divided into control group and study group, with 50 cases in each group according to different treatment methods. All patients received thoracoscopic surgery, the control group received routine nursing, and the research group received perioperative nursing intervention on the basis of the above, and observed and compared the temperature changes, perioperative complications, postoperative rehabilitation, stress indexes and pain degree of the 2 groups of patients.

Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, often resulting in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) with long-term neurodevelopmental impairments. While therapeutic hypothermia has emerged as a promising intervention to reduce brain damage, its specific impact on key brain structures and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of therapeutic hypothermia on brain volumetry, cortical thickness, and neurodevelopment in term neonates with perinatal asphyxia.
