Objective: To investigate the mechanism and the protective effect of heart-shock protein 27 (HSP27) on rabbit myocardium with isoflurane preconditioning in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
Methods: Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to three groups (each n = 10):(1)Sham operation group (C group); (2)I/R group; (3)Two percent in volume is of isoflurane group (S group). S group was exposed to 2.0% isoflurane-pure oxygen for 2 hours. C group and I/R group were exposed 2 hours to pure oxygen to serve as untreated controls. Twenty-four hours later the rats in I/R group and S group underwent 40 minutes of coronary occlusion followed by 120 minutes of reperfusion. At the end of the reperfusion, infarct size (IS) was defined by Evan's blue and triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Blood samples were taken from arterial line for determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Western Blotting was used to determine the expression of HSP27 and nuclear factor-KappaB (NF-KappaB) in myocardium.
Results: Isoflurane preconditioning could decrease I/R induced myocardial infarct size [(19.7 +/- 2.8)% vs.(37.8 +/- 1.7)%]. This was accompanied by an increase in the expression in HSP27 [(84.5 +/- 4.3) gray scale value vs. (53.1 +/- 3.8) gray scale value] and a decrease in NF-KappaB [(58.6 +/- 4.2) gray scale value vs. (119.3+/-5.6) gray scale value] and MDA [(5.24 +/- 0.45)kU/L vs. (9.42 +/- 0.83)kU/L].
Conclusion: The expression of HSP27 induced by isoflurane preconditioning plays an important role in protecting myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Introduction: Hypoxia can drive tumor progression, suppress anti-tumor immunity, and reduce the effectiveness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This study aimed to assess the impact of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on tumor oxygenation (sO2) and the anti-tumor immune response.
Material And Methods: Fourteen B16-Ova tumor-bearing C57BL/6N mice received six 5-minute RIC cycles, while another fourteen underwent anesthesia only.

Article Synopsis
- Pre-clinical studies on traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically use anesthetics for animal welfare, but this raises concerns about how anesthetics may affect the results when translating findings to humans who experience TBI without anesthetics.
- Researchers used a fruit fly model to study the impact of different anesthetics, discovering that isoflurane and sevoflurane reduced mortality after TBI, while ether did not demonstrate this protective effect.
- Genetic analysis showed significant variation in response to anesthetic preconditioning among different fly lines, suggesting genetic factors play a role, and identified specific genes linked to the protective effects of isoflurane and sevoflurane, thus highlighting the importance of considering dose and genetics in T
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the protective effect of isoflurane preconditioning (IsoP) against kidney damage from ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) in diabetic rats.
- Researchers compared various groups, including diabetic rats subjected to I/RI with and without IsoP, assessing kidney function, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell apoptosis.
- Results show that IsoP significantly reduces kidney injury in diabetic conditions by enhancing the Brg1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, indicating its potential as a therapeutic strategy for diabetic kidney injury.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how to protect the brain from damage caused by strokes using two methods: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and isoflurane (ISO) preconditioning.
- They tested these methods on rats that were artificially given strokes and found that combining tDCS with ISO helped reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
- They also discovered that a protein called Akirin2 plays an important role in how these treatments work together to protect the brain. *

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in aortocoronary bypass surgery, potentially via extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their micro-RNA content. Clinical data implicate that propofol might inhibit the cardioprotective RIPC effect. This prospective, randomized study investigated the influence of different anesthetic regimes on RIPC efficacy and EV micro-RNA signatures.
