The high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein plays an important role in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), a heat shock protein 72 inducer, has been reported to reduce myocardial I/R injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective mechanism of GGA during myocardial I/R injury in rats. Anesthetized male rats were treated once with GGA (200 mg/kg, p.o.) 24 h before ischemia, and subjected to ischemia for 30 min, followed by reperfusion for 4 h. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and infarct size were measured. HMGB1 expression was assessed by immunoblotting. The results showed that pre-treatment with GGA (200 mg/kg) significantly reduced the infarct size and the levels of LDH and CK after 4 h of reperfusion (all P<0.05). GGA also significantly inhibited the increase in MDA levels and the decrease in SOD levels (both P<0.05). Meanwhile, GGA considerably suppressed the expression of HMGB1 induced by I/R. The present study suggests that GGA is capable of attenuating myocardial I/R injury by inhibiting HMGB1 expression.

Redox imbalance, including excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by mitochondrial dysfunction and insufficient endogenous antioxidant capacity, is the primary cause of myocardial ischemia‒reperfusion (I/R) injury. In the exploration of reducing myocardial I/R injury, it is found that protecting myocardial mitochondrial function after reperfusion not only reduces ROS bursts but also inhibits cell apoptosis triggered by the release of cytochrome c. Additionally, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is considered a potential therapeutic target for treating myocardial I/R injury by enhancing the cellular antioxidant capacity through the induction of endogenous antioxidant enzymes.

Purpose: Due to its increased volume, polycystic ovarian tissue is more prone to torsion than normal ovarian tissue. In treating ovarian torsion, detorsion is applied to ensure oxygenation of hypoxic tissues. However, the resulting oxygen radicals cause tissue damage.

Liver ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related disease that occurs during liver transplantation and resection and hinders postoperative liver function recovery. Current approaches to alleviate liver I/R injury have limited effectiveness due to the short circulation time, poor solubility, and severe side effects of conventional antioxidants and anti-inflammatory drugs. Herein, a universal strategy is proposed to fabricate a Trojan horse-like biohybrid nanozyme (THBN) with hepatic-targeting capabilities.

Background: Endovascular treatment (EVT) alone was not demonstrated to be non-inferior to intravenous alteplase bridging EVT in acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. Using cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury model, intravenous tenecteplase (TNK) was administrated after ischemia followed by reperfusion at various time points.
Objectives: To investigate whether intravenous TNK bridging EVT vs EVT alone could improve I/R injury, and this effect may be associated with the time from TNK to reperfusion.

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is associated with the development and progression of chronic cardiovascular diseases through the deleterious effects of high levels of homocysteine (Hcy) on the cardiovascular system. However, the exact mechanism of action of Hcy on the acute injury of the cardiovascular system following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) remains unclear. The present study demonstrated that copper mobilization occurs during cardiac I/R, and the interactive toxic effect of Hcy and mobile Cu during cardiac I/R induces necroptosis of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) and thus enhances cardiac dysfunction.
