Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cardiovascular surgery.

Med Gas Res

Common cardiovascular surgeries include coronary artery bypass grafting, cardiac valve replacement, radiofrequency ablation, and cardiac intervention surgery. Multiple postoperative complications, such as hypoxic encephalopathy, air embolism, retained intracardiac air, cognitive dysfunction and major adverse cardiovascular events, including heart failure, ischemic stroke, and myocardial infarction, may occur after these cardiovascular surgeries. Hyperbaric oxygen can be used in preconditioning to lower the morbidity of adverse complications.

MOTS-c mimics remote ischemic preconditioning in protecting against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury by alleviating endothelial barrier dysfunction.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) induces the expression of unidentified protective cytokines that mitigate lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI). This study hypothesizes that MOTS-c, a mitokine with potent protective effects against mitochondrial damage, contributes to RIPC-mediated protection by alleviating endothelial barrier dysfunction. In human lung transplantation patients, serum levels of MOTS-c significantly decreased following IR injury but were markedly increased when RIPC was performed prior to transplantation.

Objectives: Exercise as a non-pharmacological intervention can exert beneficial effects directly through exosomes crossing the blood-brain barrier and reduce apoptosis after cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion injury (CI/RI). miRNA-124 (miR-124) is present in exosomes and plays an important role in regulating cerebral neurological activity; however, the mechanism of the relationship between exercise and the activity of exosomes and apoptosis after CI/RI remains unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of exercise preconditioning on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury from the perspective of exosomal miR-124 and apoptosis.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) is a therapy characterized by repeated bouts of limb ischemia and reperfusion. RIPC protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and preclinical studies suggest that this is mediated through release of endogenous opioids. We aimed to interrogate the role of endogenous opioids in RIPC-signaling in humans, using an arm model of IRI.
