OBJECTIVETo study the effects of deep hypothermia on the neuronal ultrastructure and nervous system of monkey after selective cerebral profound hypothermia and blood flow occlusion.
METHODSBrain-local extracorporeal circulation was established by right internal carotid artery deep hypothermic perfusion and homolateral external jugular vein backflow, brain blood flow was recovered from circulatory arrest 60 - 80 minutes late and monkey came back naturally.
RESULTSIn all 7 monkeys, 5 were succeeded in being build up the models except for 2 because of technic problems, and 4 of them lived up for ever. The function of nervous system grade, essential organ and neuronal ultrastructure were normal.
CONCLUSIONSelective cerebral profound hypothermia can increase the ability of brain to endure hypovolemia and hypoxidosis and prolong the time of blood flow occlusion.

OBJECTIVETo assess impact of different brain protection techniques upon postoperative temporary neurological dysfunction in aortic surgery with the aid of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
METHODSFrom January 2003 to December 2005, 78 patients who met the inclusion criteria entered the present cohort, 43 of whom were under the aid of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest plus retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP group) and the other 35 under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest plus selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SCP group). The present and grades of postoperative temporary neurological dysfunction were assessed by independent observers with the same criterion. The impact of duration of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest upon the postoperative temporary neurological dysfunction was also evaluated.
RESULTSThe incidence of postoperative temporary neurological dysfunction was significantly higher in the RCP group than in the SCP group (15, 34.9% vs. 4, 11.4%, P<0.05). And long duration of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (more than 50 min) has a negative impact on the postoperative temporary neurological dysfunction rate.
CONCLUSIONSApplying selective antegrade cerebral perfusion as the brain protection technique and shortening the duration of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest can reduce the incidence of temporary neurological dysfunction and preserve cerebral function more effectively.

Aminophylline can elicit thermogenesis in rats or increase metabolic rate during cold stress in lambs. We tested the hypothesis that aminophylline would reduce the change in core body temperature during laparoscopic abdominal surgery requiring pneumoperitoneum. Fifty patients were randomly divided into an aminophylline group (n=25) and a saline control group (n=25). Esophageal temperature, index finger temperature, and hemodynamic variables, such as mean blood pressure and heart rate, were measured every 15 min during sevoflurane anesthesia. In the aminophylline group, esophageal temperatures at T45 (36.1+/-0.38 vs. 35.7+/-0.29, P=0.024), T60 (36.0+/-0.39 vs. 35.6+/-0.28, P=0.053), T75 (35.9+/-0.34 vs. 35.5+/-0.28, P=0.025), T90 (35.8+/-0.35 vs. 35.3+/-0.33, P=0.011), and T105 (35.8+/-0.36 vs. 35.1+/-0.53, P=0.017) and index finger temperatures at T15 (35.8+/-0.46 vs. 34.9+/-0.33, P<0.001), T30 (35.7+/-0.36 vs. 35.0+/-0.58, P=0.029), T45 (35.8+/-0.34 vs. 35.2+/-0.42, P=0.020), T60 (35.7+/-0.33 vs. 34.9+/-0.47, P=0.010), T75 (35.6+/-0.36 vs. 34.8+/-0.67, P=0.028), T90 (35.4+/-0.55 vs. 34.4+/-0.89, P=0.042), and T105 (34.9+/-0.53 vs. 33.9+/-0.85, P=0.024) were significantly higher than in the saline control group. Aminophylline is effective in maintaining the core temperature through a thermogenic effect, despite reduced peripheral thermoregulatory vasoconstriction.
