Article Abstract
A variety of public health events seriously threaten human life and health, especially the outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of 2019 has caused a serious impact on human production and life. Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the most effective ways to prevent infection and stop the spread of the virus. Medical protective fiber materials have become the first choice for PPE because of their excellent barrier properties and breathability. In this article, we systematically review the latest progress in preparation technologies, properties, and applications of medical protective fiber materials. We first summarize the technological characteristics of different fiber preparation methods and compare their advantages and disadvantages. Then the barrier properties, comfort, and mechanical properties of the medical protective fiber materials used in PPE are discussed. After that, the applications of medical protective fibers in PPE are introduced, and protective clothing and masks are discussed in detail. Finally, the current status, future development trend, and existing challenges of medical protective fiber materials are summarized.

The incidence of hyperuricemia has increased recently, posing a serious threat to public health. Hyperuricemia is associated with an increased risk of gout, chronic kidney disease (CKD), obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypertriglyceridaemia, metabolic dysfunction‑associated steatotic liver disease, acute kidney injury, coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD). These diseases are commonly accompanied by varying degrees of kidney damage.

Sevoflurane (Sev) has a cardioprotective role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI), but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate whether the circ_CDR1as/miR-671-5p/HMGA1 axis mediates the cardioprotective effect of Sev in MI/RI. Cardiomyocytes underwent hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment was used to simulate MI/RI in vitro.

Introduction: Epilepsy remains a challenge, with one-third of patients experiencing refractory seizures despite current anti-seizure medications. The nitrergic system, which involves nitric oxide (NO) and NO synthase (NOS) enzymes, plays a complex role in seizure pathophysiology. Pentoxifylline (PTPh), an FDA-approved phosphodiesterase inhibitor, has anticonvulsant effects; however, its relationship with the pathway is unclear.
