The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of 1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamino) propane hydrochloride (DDPH) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and the mechanism of its myocardial protection. For this purpose, 50 Wistar rats were divided into five groups: sham group, control group, verapamil treated group, and two DDPH treated groups (20 and 40 mg/kg, respectively). Myocardial I/R injury model was established by reperfusion for 120 min after 40 min ischemia induced by the ligation of left descending coronary artery in rats. The influence of DDPH on myocardial infarction size was observed and the levels of myocardial enzymes in serum were measured. The activities of oxygen free radical scavenging enzymes and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in myocardium and serum were determined. The pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed. The results showed that DDPH significantly diminished myocardial infarction size, reduced the release of myocardial creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glutamic oxaloacetic aminotransferase (GOT), protected the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and decreased the content of MDA in myocardium and serum as compared with the control group. The degree of myocardial injury was slighter in DDPH treated groups than in control group. These results suggest that DDPH produces a cardioprotective effect during myocardial I/R injury, which may be related to blocking calcium channels and inhibiting the formation of the oxygen free radical and subsequent peroxidation of lipid by DDPH.

Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.
Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.
Apelin-13 inhibits ischemia-reperfusion mediated podocyte apoptosis by reducing m-TOR phosphorylation to enhance autophagy.

Podocytes are essential to maintain the normal filtration function of glomerular basement membrane, which could be injured by ischemia-reperfusion. As complicated function of autophagy in terminal differentiated podocytes, autophagy dysfunction might contribute to I/R induced renal dysfunction following glomerular filtration membrane (GFM) injuries. Meanwhile, apelin-13, an endogenous polypeptide, has been proved to be effective in regulating autophagy and apoptosis in podocytes.

Ovarian ischemia is a pathological condition that usually occurs due to ovarian torsion, resulting in the interruption of blood supply to the ovaries and oxygen deficiency. Silymarin (SLM) is a flavonoid complex of plant origin with pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of SLM through different pathways in rats subjected to experimental ovarian ischemia/reperfusion (I/R).

Neutrophil elastase (NE), a major protease in neutrophils, is important in promoting inflammation and multiple pathological processes. While NE is released abundantly in ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury, the intricate relationship between NE and I/R injury remains unclear. We examine several aspects of how NE is involved in I/R injury.
