Ferroptosis and its Potential Determinant Role in Myocardial Susceptibility to Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Diabetes.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a major cause of cardiac death particularly in patients with diabetes. When the coronary artery is partially or completely blocked, restoration of blood perfusion can normally be achieved within a certain time due to the development of advanced techniques such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. However, cardiac tissue injury may aggravate progressively even after the ischemic myocardium is restored to normal perfusion.

Connexin43 overexpression promoted ferroptosis and increased myocardial vulnerability to ischemia-reperfusion injury in type 1 diabetic mice.

Enhancement of Connexin43 (Cx43) and ferroptosis are respectively associated with the exacerbation of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in diabetes. Myocardial vulnerability to ischemic insult has been shown to vary during early and later phases of diabetes in experimental settings. Whether or not Connexin43 (Cx43) and ferroptosis interplay during MIRI in diabetes is unknown.

Fabrication of TiN Coatings Deposited on Laser Shock Micro-Textured Substrates for Improving the Interface Adhesion Properties of Coatings.

This paper aims to investigate the strengthening mechanism of laser shock peening on the interfacial bonding properties between TiN coatings and TC4 titanium alloy substrates. The different surface textures were induced by LSP on a TC4 titanium alloy substrate. Subsequently, titanium nitride (TiN) coatings were deposited on the surface texture.

N-acetylcysteine Protects Against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Through Anti-ferroptosis in Type 1 Diabetic Mice.

The hearts of subjects with diabetes are vulnerable to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). In contrast, experimentally rodent hearts have been shown to be more resistant to IRI at the very early stages of diabetes induction than the heart of the non-diabetic control mice, and the mechanism is largely unclear. Ferroptosis has recently been shown to play an important role in myocardial IRI including that in diabetes, while the specific mechanisms are still unclear.

Propofol and salvianolic acid A synergistically attenuated cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic mice via modulating the CD36/AMPK pathway.

Background: Prevention of diabetic heart myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury (MIRI) is challenging. Propofol attenuates MIRI through its reactive oxygen species scavenging property at high doses, while its use at high doses causes hemodynamic instability. Salvianolic acid A (SAA) is a potent antioxidant that confers protection against MIRI.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury: Mechanisms of injury and implications for management (Review).

Myocardial infarction is one of the primary causes of mortality in patients with coronary heart disease worldwide. Early treatment of acute myocardial infarction restores blood supply of ischemic myocardium and decreases the mortality risk. However, when the interrupted myocardial blood supply is recovered within a certain period of time, it causes more serious damage to the original ischemic myocardium; this is known as myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI).
