The clinical presentation of COVID-19 due to infection with SARS-CoV-2 is highly variable with the majority of patients having mild symptoms while others develop severe respiratory failure. The reason for this variability is unclear but is in critical need of investigation. Some COVID-19 patients have been labelled with 'happy hypoxia', in which patient complaints of dyspnoea and observable signs of respiratory distress are reported to be absent. Based on ongoing debate, we highlight key respiratory and neurological components that could underlie variation in the presentation of silent hypoxaemia and define priorities for subsequent investigation.

[Ginsenoside Rg_1 modulates ATP5A1 deacetylation via SIRT3 to attenuate hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in HL-1 cardiomyocytes].

This study investigated the mechanism by which ginsenoside Rg_(1 )attenuates hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R) injury in HL-1 cardiomyocytes by inhibiting the acetylation of ATP synthase subunit alpha(ATP5A1) through silent information regulator 3(SIRT3). In this study, an H/R injury model was constructed by hypoxia for 6 h and reoxygenation for 2 h in HL-1 cardiomyocytes. First, the optimal effective concentration of ginsenoside Rg_1 was determined using a cell viability assay kit.

Silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase with potent anti-arterial aging activities. Its protective function in aging-related diseases has been extensively studied. In the microcirculation, SIRT1 plays a crucial role in preventing microcirculatory endothelial senescence by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress while promoting mitochondrial function and optimizing autophagy.

The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration. Here, we disclose a fascinating patient's perspective that led, by clinical reasoning alone, to a novel mechanism of spontaneous respiratory arrests termed diaphragm cramp-contracture (DCC). Although the 7-year-old boy survived its paroxysmal nocturnal "bearhug pain apnea" episodes, essentially by breathing out to breathe in, DCC could cause sudden unexpected deaths in children, especially infants.

The mammalian cardiac myocytes not only synthesize and secrete atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), but also express cholecystokinin (CCK) and its receptors (CCKR and CCKR). However, atrial CCK expression patterns and its effects on ANP secretion during hypoxia are unclear. Therefore, this study is aimed to investigate the effect of hypoxia on the expression levels of CCK and its receptors, as well as the underlying mechanisms involved in regulating hypoxia-induced ANP secretion in isolated beating atria.
