Preconditioning with inhalative carbon monoxide (CO) at low concentrations provides protection against hypoxic and ischemic insults in the brain and heart. The present study aims to test a hypothesis that activation of mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs) is a mechanism underlying the protective effect of CO preconditioning. Here we show that CO preconditioning induced mild oxidative stress and activated massive production of MDVs. Short exposure to a low concentration of carbon monoxide-releasing molecule 2 (CORM-2), a donor of carbon monoxide, prevented oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) from subsequent death induced by high doses of CO, and protected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced cell death. Furthermore, inhibition of lysosomal activity prevented degradation of MDVs, abolished MDV-mediated mitochondrial quality control, and diminished the protective effect of CO preconditioning. Altogether, our data provide direct evidence suggesting that MDV-mediated mitochondrial quality control may have a novel role in CO preconditioning.

The possibility of using an oxygen-nitrous oxide mixture for prolonged hypothermic preservation of rat heart for 24 hours was investigated. A comparative analysis of restoration of functional activity of hearts in the groups of 24-hour preservation at +4°C with different gases (O, N) and gas mixtures (CO+O, NO+O, N+O, NO+N) was carried out. It was shown that the presence of oxygen in the gas mixture was the key factor for heart preservation.

Developing efficient catalysts to enhance photoreduction carbon dioxide (CO) into hydrocarbon fuels is a great challenge. As metallic material, molybdenum dioxide (MoO) has very high conductivity and charge density, which make it a promising candidate as photocatalyst. However, its photocatalytic activity is limited by the serious charge recombination.

Rationale: Preterm infants diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are thought to have fewer and larger alveoli than their term peers, but it is unclear to what degree this persists later in life.
Objectives: To investigate to what degree the distal airspaces are enlarged in adolescents born preterm and to evaluate the new Airspace Dimension Assessment (AiDA) method in investigating this group.
Methods: We investigated 41 adolescents between 15 and 17 years of age, of whom 25 were born very preterm (a gestational age <31 weeks, with a mean of 26 weeks) and 16 were term-born controls.

Aortic valve calcification results from degenerative processes associated with several pathologies. These processes are influenced by age, chronic inflammation, and high concentrations of phosphate ions in the plasma, which contribute to induce mineralization in the aortic valve and deterioration of cardiovascular health. Environmental factors, such as wood smoke that emits harmful and carcinogenic pollutants, carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxide (NO), as well as other reactive compounds may also be implicated.
