Autophagy is a basic process of eliminating unnecessary or damaged organelles by lysosome to maintain the internal environment homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that autophagy plays an important role in pathology of myocardial ischemia reperfusion. In the phase of ischemia, moderate autophagy can protect the cells against various stress; but in the phase of reperfusion, excessive autophagy can increase the death of cells. Therefore, the dual role of autophagy in myocardial ischemia reperfusion provides a new therapeutic target for the treatment of heart disease. In recent years, more and more Chinese medicines have been proved to adjust the autophagy in myocardial cells, and protect the damaged myocardium by enhancing or inhibiting autophagy. This article would review the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its role in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury as well as the regulation effect of Chinese medicine on it.

Effects of obstructive sleep apnea on nocturnal changes in blood pressure - a retrospective study.

Hypertens Res

January 2025

School of Medicine, College of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan; #155 Section 2, Linong Street, Taipei, 112, Taiwan.

To explore the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on nocturnal changes in blood pressure (BP), we enrolled 2037 participants who underwent polysomnography (PSG) between 2019 and 2020 and examined BP changes before and after sleep. BP was measured in the evening and the following morning using an electronic wrist sphygmomanometer in the supine position. The severity of OSA was determined by PSG and graded based on the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI).

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether zinc ion (Zn) alleviates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) through the MAM-associated signaling pathway and to explore its impact on ERS and calcium overload.

Methods: H9C2 cells were cultured in a DMEM supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum and 1 % antibiotic solution. A MIRI model was established through simulated ischemia and reoxygenation with Zn treatment in a complete medium.

Effect of estrogen on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in male and female rats and related mechanism.

Steroids

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Toxicology, School of Pharmacy, China Medical University, Shenyang 110122, China. Electronic address:

Due to the difference of estrogen levels in different phases of estrous cycle, it is necessary to exclude the influence of endogenous estrogen when studying the cardiovascular effects of estrogen and its analogues. In this study, the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of isolated heart were investigated in female rats during different phases of estrous cycle with male rats as comparison. The results indicated that the estrogen content in blood of rats during metestrus and diestrus (MD) was lower than those during proestrus and estrous (PE).
