Independent heating and cooling of the core and skin were performed to a normal and a paraplegic subject. It was found that the core threshold temperature for vasoconstriction release was between that for shivering and sweating. After the onset of sweating, vasodilation of the forearm was observed to increase sharply. The core threshold temperature of sweating of the paraplegic was 0.7 degrees C higher than that of the normal at corresponding mean sentient skin temperatures. No sweating was observed in the spinal man without raising his core temperature. It appeared that the dead zone of thermoregulation is shifted up in the spinal patient and the possible reasons for this are discussed.
对一名正常人和一名截瘫患者进行了核心体温和皮肤温度的独立加热和冷却实验。结果发现，血管收缩释放的核心体温阈值介于寒战和出汗的阈值之间。出汗开始后，观察到前臂血管舒张急剧增加。在相应的平均感觉皮肤温度下，截瘫患者出汗的核心体温阈值比正常人高0.7摄氏度。在脊髓损伤患者体温未升高的情况下未观察到出汗现象。似乎体温调节的失温区在脊髓损伤患者中向上移动，并对此可能的原因进行了讨论。
