Background: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) occurs frequently in a variety of clinical settings, such as renal transplantation. In addition, I/R is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). A recent study has reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of AKI, suggesting that reducing ROS generation may prevent renal injury. The present study evaluated the ability of DHL-HisZn, a new α-lipoic acid derivative, to inhibit ROS generation and prevent renal I/R injury in rats.
Materials And Methods: Rats received an intravenous infusion of DHL-HisZn or saline, and then underwent experimentally induced renal I/R injury or sham treatment. Rats were sacrificed after 60 min of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion. To evaluate the renal protective effects of DHL-HisZn, serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cre) concentrations were determined, kidneys were histologically assessed, and malondialdehyde (MDA), a biomarker of oxidative stress, was evaluated. In addition, antimycin A (AMA)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells were treated with DHL-HisZn to assess its antioxidant effects in vitro.
Results: DHL-HisZn treatment attenuated I/R-induced histologic alterations, reduced serum levels of serum BUN and Cre, and decreased MDA levels in the kidneys of rats with renal I/R injury. Furthermore, DHL-HisZn decreased ROS levels in AMA-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.
Conclusions: Our in vitro and in vivo findings suggest that DHL-HisZn may have therapeutic potential against various human I/R conditions.

Background: Fangji Huangqi Decoction (FJHQD), a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula, has been widely applied in improving renal function. However, the interaction of bioactives from FJHQD with the targets involved in acute renal injury (AKI) has not been elucidated yet.
Purpose: A network pharmacology-based approach combined with molecular docking and in vitro and in vivo validation was performed to determine the bioactives, key targets, and potential pharmacological mechanism of FJHQD against AKI.
Trinitroglycerine-loaded chitosan nanoparticles attenuate renal ischemia-reperfusion injury by modulating oxidative stress.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). A current study investigated the renoprotective effects of the trinitroglycerine (TNG) combination with chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) on renal I/R-induced AKI. Rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): Sham, I/R, TNG (50 mg/kg) + I/R, CNPs (60 mg/kg) + I/R, and TNG-CNPs + I/R.

Background: Intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury (II/RI) is a critical condition that results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to multiple organs. Zinc, an essential trace element, offers protective benefits in several tissues during I/R injury, but its effects on intestinal II/RI remain unclear.
Aim: To investigate the effects of zinc pretreatment on II/RI and associated multiorgan damage.

Purpose: To evaluate stone free rate (SFR) predictivity of three different scoring systems in patients with kidney stones larger than 20 millimeters undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery(RİRS).
Methods: Digital records of a total of 166 patients were reviewed retrospectively. Epidemiological characteristics (age, gender, medical history) of the patients, stone and affected kidney characteristics (size, volume, location, density, opaque, presence of urinary system anomaly, presence of stones in different calyx, number of stones, lower pole stone, renal infundibulopelvic angle (IPA), renal infundibulopelvic length (RIL), hydronephrosis), and operative characteristics (preoperative ureteral stent, operation duration, postoperative residual fragments, hospitalization time and complications were recorded.
Protective Effects of Alpha-Pinene Pre-Treatment in Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Male Rats.

Introduction: Ischemia followed by reperfusion in organ transplantations can lead to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, which is associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Alpha-pinene is an organic terpene with well-known antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. This study examines the preventive effects of alpha-pinene against renal I-R-induced kidney dysfunction, oxidative and inflammatory status, apoptosis, and histopathology changes.
