Background: Tissue injury and hemorrhagic shock induce significant systemic metabolic reprogramming in animal models and critically injured patients. Recent expansions of the classic concepts of metabolomic aberrations in tissue injury and hemorrhage opened the way for novel resuscitative interventions based on the observed abnormal metabolic demands. We hypothesize that metabolic demands and resulting metabolic signatures in pig plasma will vary in response to isolated or combined tissue injury and hemorrhagic shock.

Methods: A total of 20 pigs underwent either isolated tissue injury, hemorrhagic shock, or combined tissue injury and hemorrhagic shock referenced to a sham protocol (n = 5/group). Plasma samples were analyzed by UHPLC-MS.

Results: Hemorrhagic shock promoted a hypermetabolic state. Tissue injury alone dampened metabolic responses in comparison to sham and hemorrhagic shock, and attenuated the hypermetabolic state triggered by shock with respect to energy metabolism (glycolysis, glutaminolysis, and Krebs cycle). Tissue injury and hemorrhagic shock had a more pronounced effect on nitrogen metabolism (arginine, polyamines, and purine metabolism) than hemorrhagic shock alone.

Conclusion: Isolated or combined tissue injury and hemorrhagic shock result in distinct plasma metabolic signatures. These findings indicate that optimized resuscitative interventions in critically ill patients are possible based on identifying the severity of tissue injury and hemorrhage.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the devastating neurological disorders that leads to a loss of motor and sensory functions. Long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (lncRNA SNHG6) plays a crucial role in inflammatory regulation across various diseases. This study investigates the role of SNHG6 in SCI development and its underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Background: Transperitoneal approach to robot-assisted pyeloplasty (RAP) have been preferred in the last decades because of the use of multi-port robotic platforms. However, this approach is linked to notable issues, such as pneumoperitoneum and lateral decubitus position, which is associated with potential soft tissues injuries, and it is a time-consuming procedure. Single-port (SP) platform was introduced to potentially address these issues.

The treatment of corneal blindness due to corneal diseases and injuries often requires the transplantation of healthy cadaveric corneal endothelial graft tissue to restore corneal clarity and visual function. However, the limited availability of donor corneas poses a significant challenge in meeting the demand for corneal transplantation. As a result, there is a growing interest in developing strategies alleviate this unmet need, and one of the postulated approaches is to isolate and expand primary human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) for use in cell therapy.

Extracellular vesicle-mediated VEGF-A mRNA delivery rescues ischaemic injury with low immunogenicity.

Background And Aims: Lackluster results from recently completed gene therapy clinical trials of VEGF-A delivered by viral vectors have heightened the need to develop alternative delivery strategies. This study aims to demonstrate the pre-clinical efficacy and safety of extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with VEGF-A mRNA for the treatment of ischaemic vascular disease.

Methods: After encapsulation of full-length VEGF-A mRNA into fibroblast-derived EVs via cellular nanoporation (CNP), collected VEGF-A EVs were delivered into mouse models of ischaemic injury.

The diverse radiation types in medical treatments and the natural environment elicit complex biological effects on both cancerous and non-cancerous tissues. Radiation therapy (RT) induces oncological responses, from molecular to phenotypic alterations, while simultaneously exerting toxic effects on healthy tissue. N-methyladenosine (mA), a prevalent modification on coding and non-coding RNAs, is a key epigenetic mark established by a set of evolutionarily conserved enzymes.
