Eph receptor A4 regulates motor neuron ferroptosis in spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.

Previous studies have shown that the receptor tyrosine kinase Eph receptor A4 (EphA4) is abundantly expressed in the nervous system. The EphA4 signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating motor neuron ferroptosis in motor neuron disease. To investigate whether EphA4 signaling is involved in ferroptosis in spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury, in this study we established a rat model of spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury by clamping the left carotid artery and the left subclavian artery.

Fra-1 induces apoptosis and neuroinflammation by targeting S100A8 to modulate TLR4 pathways in spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury (SCII) is a severe complication driven by apoptosis and neuroinflammation. An increase in the expression of c-Fos, a member of the AP-1 family, is known as a neuronal activation marker in SCII. The AP-1 family is composed of Jun, Fos, and is associated with the regulation of cytokines expression and apoptosis.

Case report: Reducing the duration of positive-pressure ventilation for large mediastinal masses.

Large mediastinal masses (MMs) are rare and present some challenges in hemodynamic and airway management under general anesthesia. Multiple studies have reported cardiopulmonary collapse during general anesthesia. Maintenance of spontaneous ventilation, avoidance of muscle relaxants, and awake-intubation were usually recommended during general anesthesia for high-risk patients with large MMs.

CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 mitigates apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory response caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation in HT22 hippocampal neurons by Akt-Nrf2-activated pathway.

CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 (Cisd2) is known as a key determinant factor in maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, whether Cisd2 contributes to the mediation of neuronal injury during ischemic stroke has not been well stressed. This work focuses on investigating the role of Cisd2 in regulating neuronal injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R).

The roles of microRNAs in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury is a devastating medical disorder with poor prognosis that is associated with several pathophysiological conditions. However, multiple stimuli can trigger SCII, so the underlying mechanism of this pathology has not yet been fully established. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that mediate a variety of nervous system diseases and regulate numerous physiological functions, including apoptosis, autophagy, inflammation, and blood-spinal cord barrier damage.

Antimicrobial Stewardship in Surgery: A Literature Bibliometric Analysis.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance and the dwindling antibiotic development pipeline have resulted in a looming post-antibiotic era.

Inhibiting the aberrant PACT-p53 axis activation ameliorates spinal cord ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Spinal cord ischaemia-reperfusion injury (SCII) induces multiple molecular and cellular changes, resulting in dyskinesia. Recently, it is reported that the p53 network plays a vital role in SCII. However, the roles of the PACT/PRKRA (interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activator A)-p53 axis in SCII are still unclear.

MicroRNA-101a-3p mimic ameliorates spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury.

miR-101a-3p is expressed in a variety of organs and tissues and plays a regulatory role in many diseases, but its role in spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury remains unclear. In this study, we established a rat model of spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury by clamping the aortic arch for 14 minutes followed by reperfusion for 24 hours. Results showed that miR-101a-3p expression in L4-L6 spinal cord was greatly decreased, whereas MYCN expression was greatly increased.

Reduction in antimicrobial use associated with a multifaceted antimicrobial stewardship programme in a tertiary teaching hospital in Shanghai: a segmented regression analysis.

Background: Rational use of antibiotics received great attention in China, therefore the multifaceted antimicrobial stewardship (MAMS) is urgently required in hospital management. We conducted this study to assess the impact of a MAMS programme on antimicrobial use in a tertiary teaching hospital in Shanghai.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital in Shanghai.

Global trends and hotspots in research of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE): a bibliometric analysis from 2010 to 2020.

Background: Infectious disease caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has become one of the most serious challenges due to its high morbidity and mortality and research on it has aroused great concern worldwide in the last decade. Thus, a bibliometric analysis of relevant publications is needed to identify the situation of current investigations and prioritize the future research areas.

Methods: The current study retrieved articles related to CRE published between 2010 and 2020 from the Web of Science core collection database.

Delayed aortoesophageal and tracheoesophageal fistulas secondary to foreign body ingestion: a case report.

Ingestion of a foreign body (FB) is a common condition with a few potentially life-threatening complications, including esophageal perforation (EP), aortoesophageal fistula (AEF), mediastinal infection, and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). In this case, a patient who accidentally ingested a duck bone gradually experienced all of the above complications. To resolve the symptom of difficulty swallowing, the patient underwent emergency treatment for removal of the esophageal FB via endoscopic surgery.

Identification of the biological function of miR-9 in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCII) is still a serious problem, and the mechanism is not fully elaborated. In the rat SCII model, qRT-PCR was applied to explore the altered expression of miR-9 (miR-9a-5p) after SCII. The biological function of miR-9 and its potential target genes based on bioinformatics analysis and experiment validation in SCII were explored next.
