Abstract
Introduction Hypokalemia is known to occur in association with therapeutically induced hypothermia and is usually managed by the administration of potassium (K+). Methods We reviewed data from 74 patients who underwent a therapeutic hypothermia protocol at our medical institution. Results In four patients in whom data on serum K+ and temperature were available, a strong positive correlation between serum K+ and body temperature was found. Based on the close positive relationship between serum K+ and total body temperature, we hypothesize that serum K+ decreases during hypothermia owing to decreased activity of temperature-dependent K+ exit channels that under normal conditions are sufficiently active to match cellular K+ intake via sodium/K+/adenosine triphosphatase. Upon rewarming, reactivation of these channels results in a rapid increase in serum K+ as a result of K+ exit down its concentration gradient. Conclusion Administration of K+ during hypothermia should be done cautiously and avoided during rewarming to avoid potentially life-threatening hyperkalemia. K+ exit via temperature-dependent K+ channels provides a logical explanation for the rebound hyperkalemia. K+ exit channels may play a bigger role than previously appreciated in the regulation of serum K+ during normal and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In pancreatic islet transplantation studies, bioluminescence imaging enables quantitative and noninvasive tracking of graft survival. Amid the recent heightened interest in extrahepatic sites for islet and stem cell-derived beta-like cell transplantations, proper understanding the nature of bioluminescence imaging in these sites is important. METHODS Islets isolated from Firefly rats ubiquitously expressing luciferase reporter gene in Lewis rats were transplanted into subcutaneous or kidney capsule sites of wild-type Lewis rats or immunodeficient mice. Posttransplant changes of bioluminescence signal curves and absorption of bioluminescence signal in transplantation sites were examined. RESULTS The bioluminescence signal curve dynamically changed in the early posttransplantation phase; the signal was low within the first 5 days after transplantation. A substantial amount of bioluminescence signal was absorbed by tissues surrounding islet grafts, correlating to the depth of the transplanted site from the skin surface. Grafts in kidney capsules were harder to image than those in the subcutaneous site. Within the kidney capsule, locations that minimized depth from the skin surface improved the graft detectability. CONCLUSIONS Posttransplant phase and graft location/depth critically impact the bioluminescence images captured in islet transplantation studies. Understanding these parameters is critical for reducing experimental biases and proper interpretation of data.

Abstract
Islet transplantation is a promising treatment for type-1 diabetes; however, donor shortage is a concern. Even when a pancreas is available, low islet yield limits the success of transplantation. Islet culture enables pooling of multiple low-yield isolations into an effective islet mass, but isolated islets rapidly deteriorate under conventional culture conditions. Oxygen (O2) depletion in the islet core, which leads to central necrosis and volume loss, is one of the major reasons for this deterioration. METHODS To promote long-term culture of human islets in PIM-R medium (used for islet research), we adjusted temperature (12°C, 22°C, and 37°C) and O2 concentration (21% and 50%). We simulated the O2 distribution in islets based on islet O2 consumption rate and dissolved O2 in the medium. We determined the optimal conditions for O2 distribution and volume maintenance in a 2-week culture and assessed viability and insulin secretion compared to noncultured islets. In vivo islet engraftment was assessed by transplantation into diabetic nonobese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficiency mouse kidneys. We validated our results using CMRL 1066 medium (used for clinical islet transplantation). RESULTS Simulation revealed that 12°C of 50% O2 PIM-R culture supplied O2 effectively into the islet core. This condition maintained islet volume at greater than 90% for 2 weeks. There were no significant differences in viability and function in vitro or diabetic reversal rate in vivo between 2-week cultured and noncultured islets. Similar results were obtained using CMRL 1066. CONCLUSIONS By optimizing temperature and O2 concentration, we cultured human islets for 2 weeks with minimal loss of volume and function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated canine hearts during ischemia after aortic cross clamping (UI, n = 20) and after HTK-cardioplegia (HTK, n = 24) at 35 °C, 25 °C, 15 °C, and 5 °C with the aim to compare tissue changes caused by the activity of anaerobic metabolism(AAM), cell membrane destruction(CD), and gap junction uncoupling(GJU). APPROACH We measured continuously the complex dielectric spectrum(DS), ATP- and lactate content, extracellular pH, and rigor contracture. To identify changes in DS caused by AAM, CD, and GJU we performed additional experiments on the gap junction-free skeletal muscle. We used heart model simulations to calculate the effect of temperature. MAIN RESULTS AAM affected the DS at 10 MHz and we found a strong correlation between DS and the proton concentration with a maximum of DS at 10 mmol g-1 dry weight in ATP-concentration. The time of GJU was detected by a characteristic increase in DS and CD by a characteristic decrease at 13 kHz. In comparison to UI, GJU, AAM and CD were delayed by HTK and by hypothermia, indicating a minimization of energy consumption and an improved preservation of tissue structure. SIGNIFICANCE The novel findings were that in UI at 5 °C GJU occurred earlier and AAM remained constant, indicating a less effective preservation in UI by deep hypothermia in contrast to HTK.

Abstract
The temperature dependence and the ouabain sensitivity of Na,K-ATPase was examined in the nephron of normal, cold-exposed, and hibernating jerboas. The transport and hydrolytic activity of renal Na,K-ATPase displayed similar temperature dependence in rats and normal jerboas. Cold-resistance of Na,K-ATPase appeared in cold-exposed jerboas and further increased during hibernation. Three subpopulations of Na,K-ATPase displaying very high (Ki approximately 10(-13) M), high (Ki approximately 10(-9) M) and low sensitivity to ouabain (Ki approximately 10(-6) M) were detected in the thick ascending limb and collecting duct of jerboas. In thick ascending limbs, the subpopulation of very high sensitivity to ouabain disappeared in cold-exposed animals, which accounted for the previously reported decrease in Na,K-ATPase activity. In collecting ducts of cold-exposed animals, the subpopulation of very high sensitivity to ouabain also disappeared, but the resulting decrease in activity was overbalanced by the appearance of the subpopulation of high sensitivity.

Abstract
1. The ATP concentration of intact, cold-tolerant (ground squirrel) red cells and cold-sensitive (guinea-pig and human) red cells was monitored by use of the firefly tail, luciferin-luciferase assay. ATP kinetics of the pump in intact red blood cells was investigated by altering cell [ATP] by progressive depletion of ATP in the presence of 2-deoxy-D-glucose and then by measurement of ouabain-sensitive K+ influx at each level of [ATP] at various temperatures between 37 and 5 degrees C. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity of broken membranes was also determined in parallel experiments using ouabain-sensitive release of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP as a measure of activity. 2. Without depletion, there is no immediate decrease in [ATP] of intact cold-sensitive cells at low temperature (5 degrees C) at times when there are marked differences in the activities of the Na(+)-K+ pump of cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive cells. 3. At 37 degrees C Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase of all three species exhibited two components of ATP dependence at 37 degrees C, one with high velocity, low affinity, the other with low velocity, high affinity. Affinities of both components rose with cooling. 4. A similar, two component pattern was observed in intact guinea-pig and human red cells at 37 degrees C, except that the segment corresponding to the high affinity component had an apparent Km (Michaelis-Menten constant) 3- to 4-fold higher than that of the broken membrane preparation. 5. Cooling intact guinea-pig and human red cells decreased the apparent affinity of the high velocity, low affinity component for ATP, so that at 20 degrees C the value of Km approached or exceeded the levels of physiological ATP concentration. Below 20 degrees C only one component with values corresponding to that of the low velocity, high affinity component could be observed. 6. In intact ground squirrel cells only the low affinity, high velocity component was apparent between 37 and 5 degrees C. Its affinity for ATP rose with cooling between 37 and 5 degrees C.

Abstract
For homeotherms the maintenance of a high, uniform body temperature requires a constant energy supply and food intake. For many small mammals, the loss of heat in winter exceeds energy supply, particularly when food is scarce. To survive, some animals have developed a capacity for adaptive hypothermia in which they lower their body temperature to a new regulatory set-point, usually a few degrees above the ambient. This process, generally known as hibernation, reduces the temperature differential, metabolic activity, as well as the energy demand, and thus facilitates survival during winter. Successful hibernation in mammals requires that the enzymatic processes are regulated in such a manner that metabolic balance is maintained at both the high body temperature of the summer-active animal (37 degrees C) and the low body temperature of the winter-torpid animal (approx. 5 degrees C). This means that the cellular membranes have thermal properties capable of maintaining a balanced metabolism at these extreme physiological temperatures. The available evidence indicates that, for some tissues, preparation for hibernation involves an alteration in the lipid composition and thermal properties of cellular membranes. Marked differences in the thermal response of cellular membranes have been observed on a seasonal basis and, in some membranes, differences in lipid composition have been associated with the torpid state. However, to date, no consistent changes in lipid composition which would account for, or explain, the changes in membrane thermal response, have been detected. An important point to emphasize is that the process of 'homeoviscous adaptation', which occurs in procaryotes and some poikilotherms during acclimation to low temperatures, is not a characteristic feature of most membranes of mammalian hibernators.

Abstract
The effect of temperature on the "passive" permeability of mammalian plasma membranes to K+, measured as the residual flux in the presence of ouabain and bumetanide, was investigated in erythrocytes of several species. Without Ca2+ in the medium, only human red cells demonstrated the "paradoxical" rise in passive flux at low temperature (i.e., below 12 degrees C) seen by other workers. In the other species no such effect was apparent; K+ influx decreased progressively with cooling down to 0 degree C. Below 18.5 degrees C the apparent energy of activation (Ea) was very low--close to that for free diffusion in water--for red cells of all species except human. Above 18.5 degrees C the Ea was much greater and was also more variable amongst the red cells of the species chosen. Neither the inhibitors used nor cell volume changes during incubation accounted for the absence of the paradoxical effect in the species studied here. A rise in permeation of K+ with cooling can, however, be produced by the addition of Ca2+ to the medium, probably by activation of the Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel. This effect would account for previous reports of a paradoxical effect in dog and rat erythrocytes.

Abstract
A theoretical mechanism is described allowing biomembranes to convert heat into electrical energy during temperature cycling (thermosynthesis). Necessary conditions for thermosynthesis are a temperature dependent electrical capacity and a conductivity as low as that of artificial lipid bilayers. Temperature cycling, and consequently thermosynthesis, can take place in leaves during cyclic transpiration and in organisms in natural waters that are carried along by convection currents. Electrogenic ATPases can convert the electrical energy gained by thermosynthesis into ATP if their activity and stoichiometry are properly regulated. The power of thermosynthesis is discussed and its possible value compared with the power of respiration. Environments where thermosynthesis may occur are listed. Thermosynthesis is a plausible energy source for the first living organisms.

Abstract
The effects of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on the three components of K+ uptake in human red cells have been investigated, using ouabain and bumetanide to distinguish between the pump, passive diffusion and cotransport. The pressure sensitivity for passive diffusion has been shown to depend on the counter-ion present. The order of this effect, Cl- greater than Br- greater than NO3- greater than I-, is the same as for the ionic partial molal volumes and the Hofmeister series. We have analyzed our experimental results thermodynamically, and propose a model for the activated transition-state complex of the potassium ion which involves the loss of water molecules from the secondary hydration shell, cosphere II.

Abstract
Ouabain-sensitive K influx into ground squirrel and guinea pig red cells was measured at 5 and 37 degrees C as a function of external K and internal Na. In both species the external K affinity increases on cooling, being three- and fivefold higher in guinea pig and ground squirrel, respectively, at 5 than at 37 degrees C. Internal Na affinity also increased on cooling, by about the same extent. The effect of internal Na on ouabain-sensitive K influx in guinea pig cells fits a cubic Michaelis-Menten-type equation, but in ground squirrel cells this was true only at high [Na]i. There was still significant ouabain-sensitive K influx at low [Na]i. Ouabain-binding experiments indicated around 800 sites/cell for guinea pig and Columbian ground squirrel erythrocytes, and 280 sites/cell for thirteen-lined ground squirrel cells. There was no significant difference in ouabain bound per cell at 37 and 5 degrees C. Calculated turnover numbers for Columbian and thirteen-lined ground squirrel and guinea pig red cell sodium pumps at 37 degrees C were about equal, being 77-100 and 100-129 s-1, respectively. At 5 degrees C red cells from ground squirrels performed significantly better, the turnover numbers being 1.0-2.3 s-1 compared with 0.42-0.47 s-1 for erythrocytes of guinea pig. The results do not accord with a hypothesis that cold-sensitive Na pumps are blocked in one predominant form.

Abstract
Epithelia transport a variety of solutes and water. Study of such transport requires a determination of the driving forces responsible for transport, of the pathways through which transport occurs, and of the factors controlling such transport. Transepithelial driving forces are readily determined where the composition of the bathing media can be altered and electrical forces negated. Where substances move only through a paracellular pathway such manipulations may be adequate to define the permeability and selectivity of the pathways. For substances utilizing a cellular pathway, driving forces and permeabilities across the two dissimilar apical and basolateral cellular membranes must be determined. Where a substance can be shown to move across a membrane against its electrochemical potential gradient, the source of the energy for such movement must be assessed. This review focuses on the applicability and validity of a variety of techniques utilized for the study of epithelial transport to answer these questions. These include microelectrode techniques, chemical analyses, microprobe analysis, microscopy, and techniques for assessing the coupling of metabolism to transport.

Abstract
Activities related to Na-K transport were measured in cell cultures of ground squirrel kidney cortex in order to compare these cells with those of intact kidney and of continuous cell lines. A microsomal preparation containing plasma membrane Na,K-ATPase from fresh kidney showed twice the activity of a similar preparation from 72-hour cultured cells. Na,K-ATPase of homogenates of 72-hour cells showed one-third to one-fourth the specific activity of that from 6-hour cultured cells. The associated K-dependent phosphatase activity also declined as a function of time in culture. The ouabain-sensitive influx of K into 6-hour cultured cells was twice as great as the K influx into 72-hour cells. The number of sites binding 3H-ouabain in intact cultured cells declined 81% on a cell protein basis between 6 and 72 hours in culture. This decline in ouabain binding sites was relatively greater than that of K influx, so that the K turnover number increased over this same time period. The decline in ouabain-sensitive K influx during culture was complementary to an increase in furosemide-sensitive K influx. Measurements of unidirectional and net K fluxes showed that there were three components of K influx into 3-day cultured cells: ouabain-sensitive Na:K exchange, furosemide-sensitive K:K exchange, and K diffusion. In the 6-hour cultures, however, there was no furosemide-sensitive K:K exchange. Thus, after three days in culture ground squirrel kidney cells lose a feature characteristic of the original parent cells (high Na,K-ATPase activity), and gain a feature common to many undifferentiated cultured cells (furosemide-sensitive K:K exchange).
