A Novel Cross-Linked Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carrier, YQ23, Extended the Golden Hour for Uncontrolled Hemorrhagic Shock in Rats and Miniature Pigs.

Hypotensive resuscitation is widely applied for trauma and war injury to reduce bleeding during damage-control resuscitation, but the treatment time window is limited in order to avoid hypoxia-associated organ injury. Whether a novel hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC), YQ23 in this study, could protect organ function, and extend the Golden Hour for treatment is unclear. Uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock rats and miniature pigs were infused with 0.

Role of AQP3 in the Vascular Leakage of Sepsis and the Protective Effect of Ss-31.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are a group of membrane proteins related to water permeability. Studies have shown that AQPs play a vital role in various diseases. Whether AQPs participate in regulating vascular permeability after sepsis and whether the subtype of AQPs is related are unknown.

The Calcilytic Drug Calhex-231 Ameliorates Vascular Hyporesponsiveness in Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and miR-208a-Mediated Mitochondrial Fission.

Background: The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) plays a fundamental role in extracellular calcium homeostasis in humans. Surprisingly, CaSR is also expressed in nonhomeostatic tissues and is involved in regulating diverse cellular functions. The objective of this study was to determine if Calhex-231 (Cal), a negative modulator of CaSR, may be beneficial in the treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) by improving cardiovascular function and investigated the mechanisms.

Synergistic effects of EMPs and PMPs on pulmonary vascular leakage and lung injury after ischemia/reperfusion.

Background: Vascular leakage is an important pathophysiological process of critical conditions such as shock and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury. Microparticles (MPs), including endothelial cell-derived microparticles (EMPs), platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) and leukocyte-derived microparticles (LMPs), have been shown to participate in many diseases. Whether and which of these MPs take part in pulmonary vascular leakage and lung injury after I/R and whether these MPs have synergistic effect and the underlying mechanism are not known.

Mdivi-1 attenuates oxidative stress and exerts vascular protection in ischemic/hypoxic injury by a mechanism independent of Drp1 GTPase activity.

Vascular dysfunctions such as vascular hyporeactivity following ischemic/hypoxic injury are a major cause of death in injured patients. In this study, we showed that treatment with mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1), a selective inhibitor of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), significantly improved vascular reactivity in ischemic rats by attenuating oxidative stress. The antioxidative effects of Mdivi-1 were relatively Drp1-independent, and possibly due to an increase in the levels of the antioxidant enzymes, SOD1 and catalase, as well as to enhanced Nrf2 expression.

Research advances in pericyte function and their roles in diseases.

Pericyte, a kind of pluripotent cell, may regulate the irrigation flow and permeability of microcirculation. Pericytes are similar to the smooth muscle cells, which express several kinds of contractile proteins and have contractility. The dysfunction of pericytes is related to many microvascular diseases, including hypoxia, hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, fibrosis, inflammation, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and tumor formation.

A novel cross-linked haemoglobin-based oxygen carrier is beneficial to sepsis in rats.

Pathological hypoxia-induced organ dysfunction contributes to the high mortality of sepsis. Because of the microcirculation dysfunction following severe sepsis, it is difficult for erythrocytes to transport oxygen to hypoxic tissues. Haemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) are capable of delivering oxygen to hypoxic tissues.

Identification of ideal resuscitation pressure with concurrent traumatic brain injury in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often associated with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS), which contributes significantly to the mortality of severe trauma. Studies have demonstrated that permissive hypotension resuscitation improves the survival for uncontrolled hemorrhage. What the ideal target mean arterial pressure (MAP) is for TBI with UHS remains unclear.

Small doses of arginine vasopressin in combination with norepinephrine "buy" time for definitive treatment for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock in rats.

Implementation of fluid resuscitation and blood transfusion are greatly limited in prehospital or evacuation settings after severe trauma or war wounds. With uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock rats, we investigated if arginine vasopressin (AVP) in combination with norepinephrine (NE) is independent (or slightly dependent) of fluid resuscitation and can "buy" time for the subsequently definitive treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock in the present study. The results showed that AVP (0.

Ideal resuscitation pressure for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock in different ages and sexes of rats.

Introduction: Our previous studies demonstrated that 50-60 mmHg mean arterial blood pressure was the ideal target hypotension for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock during the active hemorrhage in sexually mature rats. The ideal target resuscitation pressure for immature and older rats has not been determined.

Methods: To elucidate this issue, using uncontrolled hemorrhagic-shock rats of different ages and sexes (6 weeks, 14 weeks and 1.

Quasiclassical dynamics simulation of the collision-induced dissociation of Cr(CO)6 + with Xe.

Quasiclassical trajectory calculations are employed to investigate the dynamics of collision-induced dissociation (CID) of Cr(CO)6 + with Xe atoms at collision energies ranging from 1.3 to 5.0 eV.
