Article Synopsis
- Abnormal climate changes are causing extreme weather, which increases the risk of hypothermia in outdoor activities, leading to serious health issues like coma or death.
- The study investigates the mechanisms of brain injury from hypothermia by analyzing gene expression changes in nerve cells and identifying specific genes related to ferroptosis (a form of cell death caused by iron accumulation).
- Experiments show that severe hypothermia affects the metabolism of brain cells, promoting ferroptosis through multiple pathways, but using an iron death inhibitor called Ferrostatin-1 can reduce these harmful effects.

Article Synopsis
- - A 34-year-old woman developed severe myocarditis just 8 days after receiving the ZF2001 COVID-19 vaccine, prompting further examination of her condition.
- - Autopsy revealed serious inflammation in the heart, characterized by lymphocyte and monocyte infiltration, as well as damage to heart muscle cells.
- - The report emphasizes the link between the RBD-subunit vaccine and potential myocarditis complications, discussing the implications of this association on patient health.
Background: The present study aimed to determine whether restraint stress aggravates kidney injury caused by a crush injury through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS).
Methods: In this study, Sprague-Dawley rat restraint stress, crush injury, and stressful injury models consisting of restraint stress and crush injury were established. An ERS inhibitor, Salubrinal (Sal), was administered intraperitoneally 30 minutes before induction of daily injury in the stressful injury group.
