Abstract
BACKGROUND Antipsychotic drugs may lead to hypothermia as well as hyperthermia. Although known for decades and clinically highly relevant, the mechanisms by which antipsychotic drugs alter thermoregulatory processes in the human body are still far from being fully understood. In clinical practice, much attention is paid to antipsychotic drug-induced elevation of body core temperature as observed in the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). But also hypothermia is a clinically highly relevant adverse reaction to antipsychotic drugs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Here we report a case series of three patients who developed severe hypothermia after administration of olanzapine. A review of the current literature is given with a focus on risk factors for the development of antipsychotic drug-induced hypothermia and its pathophysiologic mechanisms. RESULTS A 51-year-old female patient suffering from catatonic schizophrenia, cachectic nutritional condition and hypothyroidism developed severe hypothermia of 30.0°C body core temperature after administration of 30 mg olanzapine per day under comedication with lorazepam and L-thyroxine. A 48-year-old female patient with catatonic schizophrenia showed hypothermia of 31.0°C (rectal measurement) after single-dose administration of olanzapine 10 mg orally and a total of 3 mg lorazepam (1-1-1 mg). The third case report describes a 69-year-old male patient with acute delusional disorder exhibiting hypothermia of 33.0°C (rectal measurement) in combination with a reversible atrioventricular block grade III without any further comedication. CONCLUSION A review of the current literature reveals that thermoregulatory disturbances as sequelae of antipsychotic drug administration depend on individual disposition as well as various independent risk factors such as environmental temperature, somatic comorbidities, endocrinological abnormalities (e.g. hypothyroidism) and structural damage of the brain. A complex interaction of dopaminergic regulatory mechanisms in the ventral hypothalamus and peripheral vaso- and sudomotor adjustments seems to be causative. Hypothermia following antipsychotic drug administration represents a serious adverse drug reaction and a potentially life-threatening event.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-33 is a member of the IL-1 family and has been implicated in Th2-driven allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. The principal Th2 cytokine IL-4, found highly expressed in acute allergic eczema, is known to downregulate human β-defensin 2 (hBD2) expression in human keratinocytes and this is associated with superinfection in patients with AD. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of IL-33 on the expression of hBD2 in human keratinocytes. METHODS hBD2 production by stimulated keratinocytes was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Our results showed that serum is a very potent inducer of hBD2 and 2·5% human serum was much more potent in inducing hBD2 than 20 ng mL(-1) of tumour necrosis factor-α. Interestingly, serum from patients with AD showed an impaired ability to induce hBD2 in normal keratinocytes. IL-33 significantly downregulated serum-induced hBD2. The downregulatory capacity of IL-33 was found to be 1·5- to 2-fold weaker compared with IL-4. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that IL-33 can significantly contribute to the decreased expression of hBD2 in acute eczematous reaction clinically characterized by spongiosis and oozing - thus indicative for contact of the epidermis with serum components.

Abstract
AIMS Transient ischaemia of non-vital tissue has been shown to enhance the tolerance of remote organs to cope with a subsequent prolonged ischaemic event in a number of clinical conditions, a phenomenon known as remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC). However, there remains uncertainty about the efficacy of RIPC in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The purpose of this report is to describe the design and methods used in the "Remote Ischaemic Preconditioning for Heart Surgery (RIPHeart)-Study". METHODS We are conducting a prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicentre, controlled trial including 2070 adult cardiac surgical patients. All types of surgery in which cardiopulmonary bypass is used will be included. Patients will be randomized either to the RIPC group receiving four 5 min cycles of transient upper limb ischaemia/reperfusion or to the control group receiving four cycles of blood pressure cuff inflation/deflation at a dummy arm. The primary endpoint is a composite outcome (all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, any new stroke, and/or acute renal failure) until hospital discharge. CONCLUSION The RIPHeart-Study is a multicentre trial to determine whether RIPC may improve clinical outcome in cardiac surgical patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is an ongoing debate about a possibly enhanced risk of suicidal behaviour in some psychiatric patients due to psychopharmacotherapy. Our retrospective study aimed at analyzing the psychopharmacotherapy of 133 inpatient suicides and 133 controls by a matched pair design. METHODS We analyzed all suicides (n = 133) reported in the AGATE study from 1991 to 2008. Besides evaluation of sociodemographic variables and suicide methods, we compared psychopharmacotherapy of suicides with schizophrenia (n = 59) and affective disorders (n = 59) to that of a matched control group. RESULTS Most suicides (n = 102, 76.7%) were judged not to be related to psychopharmacotherapy. In general, more psychopharmacological drugs were prescribed for suicides than for controls. Schizophrenic suicides received more low potency FGAs than their controls. More suicides with affective disorders than controls were treated with NASSAs, SNRIs, and high or low potency FGAs. In contrast to their controls, none of the suicides with affective disorders received lithium. NASSAs, SNRIs, and high or low potency FGAs predicted suicide in regression analysis for inpatients with affective disorders. DISCUSSION Differences in psychopharmacotherapy might mainly result from a recognized risk of suicide or a more severe degree of illness. However, the underrepresentation of lithium in the suicide groups is noticeable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of studies have challenged the T-cell-centred pathogenetic view of psoriasis by the finding that epithelium-expressed genes are intimately involved in the inflammatory process. Interleukin (IL)-17 is an important inflammatory mediator in skin psoriasis. OBJECTIVE IL-17 is known to act on keratinocytes and we were interested in its impact on the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory IL-1 family members. METHODS We compared human keratinocytes derived from epidermal stem cells of hair follicles plucked from patients with psoriasis and healthy individuals using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS In the presence of IL-17, psoriasis-derived keratinocytes showed a significantly higher induction of the proinflammatory IL-1 family members IL-1F6 and IL-1F9, but not of anti-inflammatory members IL-1F5, IL-1F7 or IL-1F3 compared with keratinocytes from healthy individuals. Both basal and IL-17-induced levels of IL-1F2 and IL-1F1 were found to be significantly lower in psoriasis keratinocytes. CONCLUSION As keratinocytes were derived from epidermal stem cells of the hair follicles and were obtained from nonlesional sites, differences found are likely to present an intrinsic feature of psoriasis epithelium. Our data support the significance of IL-1 family members as therapeutic targets in psoriasis conditions.
