Pharyngeal Selective Brain Cooling Is Associated with Reduced CNS Cortical Lesion after Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats

Abstract: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is still being explored as a therapeutic option after traumatic brain injury (TBI) but clinical data has not supported its efficacy. Experimental approaches were promising, but clinical data did not support its efficacy in the treatment of TBI. A novel approach of pharyngeal selective brain cooling (pSBC), recently introduced by our group, has been accompanied by superior neurofunctional, sensorimotor, and cognitive outcomes. This work is now extended by data on histomorphological … Show more

“…Similar to our previous studies and other reports, TBI produces behavioral abnormalities and neurodegenerative changes resulting from regional patterns of cell death and circuit dysfunction [21,44]. As supported by previous studies of TTM on TBI, we also demonstrated that using CCI rats as an in vivo model that TTM attenuated several phenotypes of animal post-TBI, markedly reduced cell death [7,8,11], BBB leakage [45][46][47], cortical lesion volume [48], cerebrovascular histopathology [49,50], and improved behavioral and pathological outcomes [51]. These results may help determine both the safety and efficacy for postinjury TTM, and such laboratory models (in vitro or in vivo) may present an ideal opportunity for the application of proteomic technological approach to biomarker discovery after TBI.…”

“…Doll et al showed that a selective brain cooling method called “pharyngeal selective brain cooling” was associated with improved neurofunctional, sensorimotor, and neurocognitive recovery following TBI in rats ( 17 ). These positive findings with behavioral factors were substantiated by brain histo-morphological outcomes that included preservation of cortical tissue ipsilateral to the lesion and superior physical recovery with reduced weight loss in the acute phase post-injury and a more robust weight gain thereafter ( 18 ).…”

“…There are previously multiple papers that suggested targeted brain cooling as a reasonable treatment option to patient with severe traumatic brain injury [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Targeted brain cooling is a good alternative to systemic hypothermia, as systemic hypothermia has serious side effects such as circulatory constrain, increased risk of infection, electrolyte imbalance, and coagulopathy [15][16][17][18].…”
