We aimed to study the erythropoietin influence on oxygen transport function of blood and prooxidant/antioxidant balance in rabbits under lipopolysaccharide injection. Recombinant human erythropoietin-alpha was administered intraperitoneally in the dose 1000 U/kg 30 minutes before intravenous injection of 500 mkg/kg lipopolysaccharide from E. coli. After 12 hours, blood samples were collected for the assessment of oxygen transport function of blood; nitrate/nitrite levels and tissue samples were collected for measurement of conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde, alpha-tocopherol and catalase. Erythropoietin improves parameters of oxygen transport function of blood, increases hemoglobin-oxygen affinity through the NO-dependent mechanism, reduces activity of free radical processes, and increases antioxidant protection under lipopolysaccharide injection.

Experimental assessment and analysis of mass transport limiting current density in water vapor-fed polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyzers.

Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs) are a critical technology for efficient hydrogen production to decarbonize fuels and industrial feedstocks. To make hydrogen cost-effective, the overpotentials across the cell need to be decreased and platinum-group metal loading reduced. One overpotential that needs to be better understood is due to mass transport limitations from bubble formation within the porous transport layer (PTL) and anode catalyst layer (ACL), which can lead to a reduction in performance at typical operating current densities.

Prompt emergence from general anesthesia is crucial after neurosurgical procedures, such as craniotomies, to facilitate timely neurological evaluation for identification of intraoperative complications. Delayed emergence can be caused by residual anesthetics, metabolic imbalances, and intracranial pathology, for which an eye examination can provide early diagnostic clues. The sunset sign (or setting sun sign), characterized by a downward deviation of the eyes, can be an early indicator of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) or midbrain compression, as is commonly observed in states of hydrocephalus or periaqueductal or tectal plate dysfunction.

Microbial loss significantly affects wastewater treatment efficiency. This study simulated the inoculation area of a self-developed biological doubling reactor (BDR) to evaluate the retention efficiency of seven different fillers for aerobic denitrifying bacteria. Over 90 days of continuous operation, the porous filler R3 demonstrated excellent performance, with OD values consistently exceeding 1.

Objective: To identify risk factors for clinically-important drowning-associated lung injury (ciDALI) in children.
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study of children (0 through18 years) who presented to 32 pediatric emergency departments (EDs) from 2010 through 2017. We reviewed demographics, comorbidities, prehospital data, chest radiographs reports, and ED course from emergency medical services, medical, and fatality records.
ATP5J regulates microglial activation via mitochondrial dysfunction, exacerbating neuroinflammation in intracerebral hemorrhage.

Microglial-mediated neuroinflammation is crucial in the pathophysiological mechanisms of secondary brain injury (SBI) following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Mitochondria are central regulators of inflammation, influencing key pathways such as alternative splicing, and play a critical role in cell differentiation and function. Mitochondrial ATP synthase coupling factor 6 (ATP5J) participates in various pathological processes, such as cell proliferation, migration, and inflammation.
