Aim: To study the effectiveness of remaxol in erythrocytes oxygen transport function correction in patients with surgical endotoxicosis.
Material And Methods: Two groups of patients (main (n = 25) and comparison (n = 27) groups) with acute appendicitis complicated by peritonitis were compared. All patients underwent standard postoperative treatment including infusion therapy 1600--2000 ml/day, antibiotics as combination of semi-synthetic penicillins and aminoglycosides, anesthetic and desensitizing therapy. In the main group daily intravenous infusion of remaxol 400 ml for 5 days was used. The first dose was administered intraoperatively or immediately after surgery. Patients underwent emergency surgery and destructive forms of acute appendicitis accompanied by diffuse purulent or purulent-fibrinous peritonitis were diagnosed. Removal of appendix, debridement and drainage of the abdominal cavity were performed. Observation of clinical and laboratory tests were carried out at admission and in 1, 3, 5 days after surgery.
Conclusion: Acute peritonitis leads to changes of hemoglobin conformation and its oxygen-binding capacity according to spectroscopy that is an important factor in the development of general hypoxia. The greatest changes in the hemoglobin molecule were found in the 1st day after surgery as a result of surgical aggression. It is proved that modified conformational state of hemoglobin is associated with processes of lipid peroxidation and endogenous intoxication. Combined therapy with remaxol is effective to correct oxygen transport function of hemoglobin in acute peritonitis. Pronounced positive effect of the drug weakening manifestations of surgical aggression is noted after the first administration. Therapeutic efficacy of the drug is explained by its ability to reduce lipid peroxidation. Rapid recovery of homeostasis including decrease of general hypoxia using remaxol resulted in a clinical benefit.

Molecule-electrode interfaces play a pivotal role in defining the electron transport properties of molecular electronic devices. While extensive research has concentrated on optimizing molecule-electrode coupling (MEC) involving electrode materials and molecular anchoring groups, the role of the molecular backbone structure in modulating MEC is equally vital. Additionally, it is known that the incorporation of heteroatoms into the molecular backbone notably influences factors such as energy levels and conductive characteristics.

Oxygen controls most metazoan metabolism, yet in mammals, tissue O levels vary widely. While extensive research has explored cellular responses to hypoxia, understanding how cells respond to physiologically high O levels remains uncertain. To address this problem, we investigated respiratory epithelia as their contact with air exposes them to some of the highest O levels in the body.

Aim: To study the effect and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of VDAC1-ΔC on autophagy in renal tubular epithelial cells injured by hypoxia/reoxygenation.
Methods: C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into groups: sham operation group, IRI 1d group and IRI 2d group. The inner canthal blood of mice was collected to detect the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen and kidney tissues were sampled, and sections were stained with Periodic acid-Schiff for morphological evaluation.

Hypoxia is a significant stressor, and stabilized hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) regulates the expression of numerous genes, leading to various biochemical, molecular, physiological and genomic changes. The body's oxygen-sensing system activates gene expression to protect brain tissues from hypoxia. Gamma-aminobutyric acid, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, regulates brain excitability during hypoxia through the activation of HIF-1 α.

Non-invasive ventilation has been used as a pre-oxygenation strategy for rapid sequence intubation in the emergency department and the intensive care unit, yet, limited research has examined its use in the transport setting. These case reports discuss the use of non-invasive ventilation via a Hamilton T1 ventilator (Hamilton Medical) during transport by an air medical crew for pre-oxygenation before intubation in two cases. In both cases, a non-invasive, bilevel-positive airway pressure mode with a backup rate was used to achieve adequate airway pressures while allowing for a two-handed seal by one EMS clinician as the other prepared the equipment and medications.
