Physiological elevation of body temperature
( Before menstruation, Strenuous exercise, Stress )
Definitions
• Fever (发热) : Regulated elevation of core body temperature 0.5
higher than normal, accommodated to the increased ℃hypothalamic Set Point ( 下丘脑体温调定点 ) in response to pyretic substances.
• Hyperthermia (过热) : Pathological elevation of body temperature, characterized by overwhelmed thermoregulatory mechanisms (dysfunction of thermoregulatory center, impairment of heat-production or heat-loss), without changes of set point.
Examples for Hyperthermia
• Loss of regulation: – central nervous system inj
ury
• Impairment of heat-loss: – heliosis (中暑)– ichthyosis (鱼鳞病)
• Excessive heat production: – hyperthyroidism (甲
亢)

3. Mechanisms of thermoregulation
( 1 ) Thermoregulatory center• Positive : POAH (视前区下丘脑前部)• Negative :
– MAN (中杏仁核 )– VSA (腹中膈 )
• EP→thermoregulatory center→central mediators →change of the set point
• Blood T↑ →Heat-sensitive neuron→ Heat loss↑ Blood T ↓ →Cold-sensitive neuron→ Heat production↑

② Penetrate the Blood Brain Barrier directly• Inflammation
• injury
③ Transmit pyretic signal through vagus (迷走神经)• Kupffer cells in liver: produce IL-1
• Receptor for IL-1 on the nerve of vagus ganglia
(3) Positive and negative regulatory mediators
Central mediators
Positive regulatory mediators
Negative regulatory mediators
PGE2 Na+/
Ca2+
cAMP CRH AVP α-MSH lipocortin-1
(Annexin A1)
NO
PGE2 (前列腺素 E2 )
The most important
among central mediators
PLA2 (磷脂酶 A2 )
Cyclooxygenase , COX
(环加氧酶)
PGE2
• Supportive data :
– EP induced fever: CSF PGE2↑
– PGE injected into ventricles→dose dependant fever
– EP cocultured with hypothalamic tissue→PGE2↑
– PGE inhibitors (Arachidonic acid, Ibuprofen )
decrease T induced by IL-1, IFN, TNF
cAMP (环磷酸腺苷)
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate
• Caffeine, theophylline( 茶碱 )→cAMP↑ →T↑• Endotoxin induced fever: cAMP in CSF↑• cAMP intraventricular injection→fever immediately
– Shorter latent period
• Hyperthermia: cAMP doesn’t change
• cAMP is a mediator of late stage during fever
Na+/Ca2+ ratio
Intracerebroventricular perfusion:
0.9%NaCl T↑
sucrose T unchanged
Ca2+ T↓
EGTA T↑ cAMP↑
EP →hypothalamic Na+/Ca2+ ↑→cAMP↑→set point↑
CRH (促肾上腺皮质激素释放素)
Corticotropin releasing hormone
– IL-1β 、 IL-6→hypothalamus releasing CRH→T↑
– CRH monoclonal antibody inhibit CRH
or CRH-R antagonist
inhibit fever induced by EP
NO (一氧化氮)
Nitric Oxide
• Nitric oxide synthase, NOS
• Probable mechanisms:– ① act on POAH 、 OVLT and induce fever
– ② increases heat production by brown adipose tissue
– ③ inhibits synthesis and secretion of the negative regulation mediators related to fever
Negative Regulatory Mediators
• febrile ceiling ( 热限 )– Human core body temperature is almost never permi
tted to rise above 41~42 during fever.℃
• Self protection mechanism– Thermoregulatory neurons
– Endogenous antipyretics
– Soluble receptors for the pyrogenic cytokine mediators of the febrile response
AVP (精氨酸加压素)
Arginine Vasopressin
• 1970s, Cooper: – Antipyretic substance in pregnant women’s blood
• Supportive data:– Febrile animals: Intracerebroventricular or intrahypothalamic
administration of AVP→T↓• 4 inhibition of heat production℃• 25 increasing heat loss℃
α-MSH (黑素细胞刺激素)
α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone
• Intracerebroventricular or iv α—MSH:– Antipyretic, in doses with no effect on normal body T
• EP induced fever: – Ventral septal area (VSA) α-MSH↑
• Endogenous α-MSH limit time and extent of fever
lipocortin-1 ( 脂皮质蛋白 -1)
also called Annexin A1 (膜联蛋白 A1 )
• Phospholipid-binding protein
• Inhibit PLA2
• Inhibit fever induced by IL-1β 、 IL-6 、 IL-8 、 CRH
4. Pathogenesis of fever
Three stages

Persistent Febrile Defervescence
SP
upregulated
SP
recovered
II. Stages and manifestations of fever
1. Fervescence Period
• Pale, cold, shivering, goose flesh
• Characteristics: – heat loss↓heat production↑ , T↑
• heat production↑– Shivering
– Brown adipose tissue
– Metabolic rate↑
2. Persistent Febrile Period
Fastigium (高热稽留期)
• Feeling hot, skin dry and flush
• T increased to the new level of set point
• Balance of heat production and loss in a higher level
• Stop shivering, vasodilation
3. Defervescence Period
• sweating
• Disappearing of EP and thermoregulatory mediators → SP decrease to normal
• Core temperature>set point → heat loss↑
• vasodilation
Stages of fever
III. Alterations of metabolism and function
1. Physiological functions
2. Metabolisms
3. Self defence
1. Physiological functions
⑴ Cardiovascular system
• Heart Rate↑ :– T↑ 1 →HR℃ ↑18 bpm
– T↑→sinoatrial node (窦房结)– sympathetic-adrenal-medulla axis ( + )– Oxygen consumption↑, CO2↑
• Blood pressure :– Fervescence:
• HR↑ & vasoconstriction→ Bp↑
– Fastigium & Defervescence:• water loss & vasodilation→Bp↓
1. Physiological functions
( 2 ) Central Nervous System
• Excitability↑– Irritability, delirium (谵妄) , hallucinations (幻
觉)– vasodilation→headache
• Children: febrile seizures ( 高热惊厥 )– Chidren (6 months~ 6 years)
– Immaturity of children’s central nervous system
1. Physiological functions
(3) Respiratory system :– T↑→ stimulate respiratory center→ hyperventilation
– heat loss↑
(4) Digestive system :– Sympathetic exciting, water loss→ digestive fluid↓→ d
igestive disfunction
– EP→ PGs→ anorexia, nausea
2. metabolisms
• T↑1 → basic metabolic rate ↑13%℃
(1) proteins:• T↑, PGE↑→ catabolism of proteins of skeletal
muscle • Used for synthesis of acute phase proteins and ti
ssue repair• Negative nitrogen balance (负氮平衡)
2. metabolisms
( 2 ) Glucose and lipid
• Heat production↑→ catabolism↑→ glycogen(糖原)↓→ lactic acid↑
• Shrivering → glycolysis (糖酵解)↑ → lactic acid↑
• glycogen↓→ lipid mobilization (脂肪动员) • sympathetic-adrenal-medulla axis⊕ → lipolytic h
ormones (脂解激素)↑
2. metabolism
( 3 ) Water and Salt
– Fervescence :• renal flow↓→urine↓→Na+Cl- excretion↓
– Fatigium & Defervescence :• water loss from skin and lung→ dehydration
• urine↑, sweating→ Na+Cl- excretion↑
( 4 ) Vitamin
– Long term fever: vitamin
3. Self Defence
( 1 ) Anti-infection :– EP→ serum Fe↓→ anti-microorganisms
– Immunocytes (higher activity at 39 ):℃• lymphocytes, neutrophils, macrophages↑
• NK↓
( 2 ) Anti-tumor :– IL-1 , TNF , IFN: killing or inhibiting tumor cell
s
– Tumor cells are less tolerant (more sensitive) to heat
– Fever therapy, pyretotherapy (发热疗法)
3. Self Defence
( 3 ) Acute phase response (急性期反应)
• A series of reaction at acute phase of bacteria infection or tissue injury– Acute phase protein↑
– WBC↑
– Serum Fe↓Zn↓Cu↑
IV. Pathophysiological basis of prevention and treatment
1. Two-edge sword of fever
(1) Benefits of fever– The hypothalamus will not allow the temp to rise above 41.5ºC.– WBCs work best and kill the most bacteria at 38-40ºC.– Neutrophils make more superoxide anion, and there is more and increas
ed activity of IFN.– Coxsackie and polio virus replication is directly inhibited.
(2) Harmful aspects– Catabolism– Cell death– Abnormality– Microenvironment imbalance
2. Pathophysiological basis of prevention and treatment
(1) Therapy for the primary disease
(2) Common management:– T<39 , no need to use antifebrile℃– Observation and diagnosis
– Nutrition, vitamin, water
(3) Urgent conditions
• High fever >40℃– Heart failure, coma, delirium
– Febrile convulsion of children
• Patients with cardiopathy (心脏病)– Heart disease, heart failure
• Women in gestation ( 妊娠 )– ⑴Early stage: abnormality
– ⑵Late stage: heart failure
Principles of therapy
• Anti-pyretic drugs (药物解热)– Salicylates
– Glucocorticoid
– Chinese Herbs
• Physical methods (物理降温)– Freezing by ice bag or hat– Wiping with ethanol– Sometimes harmful
Case Study 1

shivering, the skin was pale and covered with goose flesh.
– She had fever at night and could not sleep, with dysphoria and headache.
– She was sleepy the next day, and sometimes with nausea and vomitting.
– Half hours before admission, she had convulsion suddenly.
