Ischemia/reperfusion injury can contribute to organ dysfunction and failure after transplantation. Reperfusion injury is often associated with an acute inflammatory response, involving transcriptional activation and expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, and culminates in the recruitment of leukocytes to the post-ischemic tissue. In this concise review, we will address the current knowledge of acute inflammation relevant to ischemia/reperfusion injury and solid organ transplantation, and discuss current treatment options that may have application in this regard, as well as new areas that may be ripe for therapeutic drug design.

Precise and effective management of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is still a formidable challenge in clinical practice. Additionally, real-time monitoring of drug aggregation in the MIRI region remains an open question. Herein, a drug delivery system, hesperadin and ICG assembled in PLGA-Se-Se-PEG-IMTP (HI@PSeP-IMTP), is designed to deliver hesperadin and ICG to the MIRI region for in vivo optical imaging tracking and to ameliorate MIRI.

Background: Therapeutic hypothermia improves outcomes in experimental stroke models, especially after ischemia-reperfusion injury. In recent years, the safety and efficacy of hypothermia combining thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy have attracted widespread attention. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hypothermia by combining reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Acute kidney injury induced by stings from multiple wasps is a medical emergency and is a driving factor of acute renal dysfunction. Numerous studies have shown that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) play a key role in ischemia-reperfusion injury-, cisplatin-, and sepsis-induced acute kidney injury. However, the role of mtROS and its underlying mechanisms in wasp-venom-induced acute kidney injury remain inconclusive.

Background: Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) stands as an unavoidable complication arising from kidney surgery, profoundly intertwined with its prognosis. The role of differentially expressed in FDCP 6 homolog (DEF6) in RIRI remains elusive, despite its confirmation as a potential therapeutic target for diverse diseases. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which DEF6 regulated RIRI.

Objective: This study investigates the effects of caloric restriction (CR) on renal injury and fibrosis following ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), with a focus on the roles of the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling and autophagy.

Methods: A mouse model of unilateral IRI with or without CR was used. Renal function was assessed through serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels, while histological analysis and molecular assays evaluated tubular injury, fibrosis, mTORC1 signaling, and autophagy activation.
