The article by Fei Han et al in this issue of the Journal may be an important bit
of bench science. In a rodent model of global ischemia, they found that both the moderate-sized
(cyclic non-ribosomal peptide) pharmaceutical drug cyclosporine and therapeutic hypothermia
appear to blunt reperfusion related neuroinjury through similar mechanisms. Even more
intriguingly, Fei Han et al provide a first indication that the pharmaceutical efficacy
of cyclosporine and the physical efficacy of hypothermia may be somewhat additive.
