The protective effect of hypoxic preconditioning on the development of depressive states in rat experimental models has been studied. Three-trial preconditioning by repetitive hypobaric hypoxia (360 mm Hg, 2h) prevented triggering of behavioral depression, pituitary-adrenal axis hyperactivity and impairment of negative feedback in dexamethasone test in rats following inescapable aversive stress in the model of endogenous depression. Anxyolytic and antidepressant-like effect of the hypoxic preconditioning was not less than that of tetracyclic antidepressant ludiomil. The findings reveal that the preconditioning by intermittent hypobaric hypoxia increases tolerance to psychoemotional stress, possesses potent anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects and might be applied for prevention of depressive episodes.

Purpose: We designed a study investigating the cardioprotective role of sleep apnea (SA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), focusing on its association with infarct size and coronary collateral circulation.

Methods: We recruited adults with AMI, who underwent Level-III SA testing during hospitalization. Delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was performed to quantify AMI size (percent-infarcted myocardium).

Background And Objective: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ASCs-Exos) possess angiogenic potential, which can enhance the retention rate of fat grafts. Hypoxic preconditioning can augment their functionality. However, the optimal conditions for hypoxic preconditioning and the specific mechanisms by which it exerts its effects are not well defined.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) possess unique immunomodulatory properties and have enormous potential in the treatment of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, the low implantation and survival rates of MSC in vivo, coupled with their weak immunosuppressive functions, have resulted in unstable clinical efficacy in the treatment of GVHD. Preconditioning of MSC with hypoxia, active molecules and gene modification can enhance the function of MSC and improve the implantation rate, survival rate and therapeutic effect of MSC.

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of hypoxic preconditioning on the survival and oxidative stress tolerance of nestin-expressing hair follicle stem cells (hHFSCs) and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, two crucial cell types for central nervous system therapies. The study also examined the relative expression of three key genes, HIF1α, BDNF, and VEGF following hypoxic preconditioning.

Materials And Methods: hHFSCs were isolated from human hair follicles, characterized, and subjected to hypoxia for up to 72 hours.

Background: hucMSC-exosomes can be engineered to strengthen their therapeutic potential, and the present study aimed to explore whether hypoxic preconditioning can enhance the angiogenic potential of hucMSC-exosomes in an experimental model of POF.

Methods: Primary hucMSCs and ROMECs were isolated from fresh tissue samples and assessed through a series of experiments. Exosomes were isolated from hucMSCs under normoxic or hypoxic conditions (norm-Exos and hypo-Exos, respectively) and then characterized using classic experimental methods.
