High oxygen tension in blood and/or tissue affects clinical outcomes in several diseases. Thus, the optimal target PaO for patients recovering from cardiac arrest (CA) has been extensively examined. Many patients develop hypoxic brain injury after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC); this supports the need for oxygen administration in patients after CA. Insufficient oxygen delivery due to decreased blood flow to cerebral tissue during CA results in hypoxic brain injury. By contrast, hyperoxia may increase dissolved oxygen in the blood and, subsequently, generate reactive oxygen species that are harmful to neuronal cells. This secondary brain injury is particularly concerning. Although several clinical studies demonstrated that hyperoxia during post-CA care was associated with poor neurological outcomes, considerable debate is ongoing because of inconsistent results. Potential reasons for the conflicting results include differences in the definition of hyperoxia, the timing of exposure to hyperoxia, and PaO values used in analyses. Despite the conflicts, exposure to PaO > 300 mmHg through administration of unnecessary oxygen should be avoided because no obvious benefit has been demonstrated. The feasibility of titrating oxygen administration by targeting SpO at approximately 94% in patients recovering from CA has been demonstrated in pilot randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Such protocols should be further examined.

Patients presenting with severe acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema with hypoxia commonly require intubation until heart failure treatments take effect. A new term describing similar condition is called sympathetic crashing acute pulmonary edema (SCAPE). It is also called Flash pulmonary edema.

A Sustained H/Fluorouracil-Releasing Suppository for High-efficacy and Low-Toxicity Hydrogenochemotherapy of Colon Cancer.

To attenuate the intestinal toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs from rectal suppositories and enhance their chemotherapeutic outcome is greatly significant, but maintains a challenge. In this work, a new strategy of local synergistic hydrogenochemotherapy is proposed to attenuate side effects and enhance therapeutic efficacy based on the anti-cancer selectivity and normal cells-protecting effect of H, and construct a novel anti-cancer formulation of rectal suppository (5-FU/CSN@FAG) by fatty acid glycerides (FAG) encapsulating 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, a first-line drug for colorectal cancer treatment) and cerium silicide nanoparticles (CSN) with a sustained hydrolytic H release behavior which is synchronous with 5-FU release. The 3-week treatment with the suppository once a day can not only completely eradicate colon tumors without tumor recurrence after suppository administration withdrawal, but also efficiently protect the intestinal tract from chemotherapeutic damage.

Ferroptosis is a type of cell death triggered by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides in cells. Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, can lead to various health complications. The process of ferroptosis and the progression of diabetes are closely linked to redox homeostasis, which is regulated by the levels of reactive oxygen and sulfur species.

Hypoxia-tropic delivery of nanozymes targeting transferrin receptor 1 for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy sensitization.

Nat Commun

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a malignancy highly prevalent in East and Southeast Asia, is primarily treated with radiotherapy (RT). However, hypoxia-induced radioresistance presents a significant challenge. Nanozymes, nanomaterials with catalase-like activity, have emerged as a promising strategy for radiosensitization by converting elevated hydrogen peroxide in the tumor microenvironment into oxygen.
