Objective: To investigate the changes in systemic and local vascular reactivity following hemorrhagic shock of different severity and the therapeutic effect of alpha opioid receptor antagonist ICI174,864.
Methods: Fifty-six Wistar rats were used in two experiments. In experiment I, 32 rats were equally divided into sham operation group, 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours hypotension groups. In the latter groups, rats were bled to a mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of 40 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and maintained at this level for 1, 2, 3 hours, respectively. The pressor response of blood pressure and the contractile response of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) to norepinephrine(NE, 3 ug/kg) were observed after shed blood was reinfused. In experiment II, 24 rats were divided into shock control, ICI174,864 0.5 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg groups. The response of blood pressure and SMA contractility to NE (3 microg/kg) were observed at 1, 2, and 4 hours after ICI174,864 administration.
Results: Following hemorrhagic shock, the systemic and local (SMA) vascular responsiveness was significantly decreased significantly and it was time dependent. Shed blood reinfusion alone did not restore the decreased vascular reactivity. ICI174,864 improved the decreased vascular reactivity in dose-dependent manner.
Conclusion: Hemorrhagic shock can induce systemic and local vascular hyporeactivity. The decreased vascular reactivity is closely associated with the severity and duration of shock. Loss of systemic vascular reactivity parallels to that of the regional vessel. delta opioid receptor antagonist ICI174,864 has some beneficial effect in improving vascular hyporeactivity.

Purpose: To summarize and categorize postulated mechanisms of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-mediated retinal and choroidal inflammation and discuss resulting implications for evaluation and management of these adverse reactions.
Design: Targeted literature review with interpretation and perspective Methods: We performed a review of selected literature describing immune-mediated retinal and choroidal adverse reactions associated with ICI therapy, synthesizing and categorizing the likely underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Based on these mechanistic categories, we provide perspective on a rational approach to the evaluation of patients with ICI-associated inflammatory disorders of the retina and choroid.

Purpose: The incidence of vascular dementia (VaD), as one of the main types of dementia in old age, has been increasing year by year, and exploring its pathogenesis and seeking practical and effective treatment methods are undoubtedly the key to solving this problem. Phosphoglycerate translocase 5 (PGAM5), as a crossroads of multiple signaling pathways, can lead to mitochondrial fission, which in turn triggers the onset and development of necroptosis, and thus PGAM5 may be a novel target for the prevention and treatment of vascular dementia.
Methods: Animal model of vascular dementia was established by Two-vessel occlusion (2-VO) method, and cellular model of vascular dementia was established by oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) method.

Background: Accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Cerebral deposition of Aβ initiates deteriorating pathways which eventually can lead to AD. However, the exact mechanisms are not known.

Background: Magnolia kobus DC (MO), as a plant medicine, has been reported to have various physiological activities, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects. However, vascular protective effects of MO remain incompletely understood. In this study, we evaluated the vascular protective effect of MO against ferroptosis in a carotid artery ligation (CAL)-induced neointimal hyperplasia mouse model and in aortic thoracic smooth muscle A7r5 cells.
