The present study was designed to investigate the protective effect of 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rats. The rats were divided in three groups of 10 each; normal control, untreated and the 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin treatment groups. The rats in the treatment group received 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin at doses of 15 mg/kg body weight 1 h prior to ischemia and then daily for 2 days. The animals were sacrificed after 1, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h of reperfusion. The results revealed that 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin protected the liver against I/R injury via inhibition of inflammatory response at the early stage (0-24 h). However, in 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin treatment group autophagy was inhibited resulting in intensified I/R injury following 36 h of reperfusion. 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin treatment caused reduction in the level of serum aminotransferase, liver inflammatory cytokines and showed minor liver histopathologic alterations. However, after 36 h of reperfusion treatment group showed similar I/R injury as that of untreated group. It was observed that 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin enhanced the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase, decreased nuclear release of high-mobility group box 1 and production of inflammatory cytokines. After 36 h 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin promoted hepatic injury through suppression of autophagy and induction of hepatic apoptosis. Therefore, 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin exhibits inhibitory effect on hepatic ischemia during 0-24 h but causes its promotion after 36 h.

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.

Background And Objectives: The coexistence of complete carotico-clinoid bridge (CCB), an ossification between the anterior (ACP) and the middle clinoid (MCP), and an interclinoidal osseous bridge (ICB), between the ACP and the posterior clinoid (PCP), represents an uncommonly reported anatomic variant. If not adequately recognized, osseous bridges may complicate open or endoscopic surgery, along with the pneumatization of the ACP, especially when performing anterior or middle clinoidectomies.
Methods: According to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews guidelines, a systematic scoping review was conducted up to June 5, 2023.

A growing body of evidence suggests the involvement of long noncoding ribose nucleic acids (lncRNAs) in acute kidney injury (AKI). This study focused on the mechanistic role of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (SNHG12) in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-mediated AKI. A model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) was created using human kidney cells (HK-2).

Background: Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is indicated as a broad-spectrum medicine for a variety of diseases, including cancer and cardiac disease. While the role of ATO in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) has not been reported. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify the effects of ATO on HIRI.

Testicular ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury during testicular torsion is strongly influenced by oxidative stress caused by excessive accumulation of unscavenged reactive oxygen species. This study aimed to investigate the effects of intra-peritoneal administration of Mito-TEMPO (MT) on I/R injury in testicular torsion/detorsion (T/D) in mice. Forty-two male mice were divided into seven groups including 1 control and 6 treatment groups (360° T/D, 720° T/D, 360° T/D + 0.
