Background And Objectives: Myoglobin released by rhabdomyolysis (RM) is considered to be involved in pathogenesis of kidney disease caused by crush injury, but whether high level of serum myoglobin predisposes patients to acute kidney injury (AKI) and its molecular mechanisms are still unclear in exertional heatstroke (EHS). We aimed to determine the association and potential mechanism of myoglobin and AKI, and further investigate the targeted therapeutic agents for myoglobinemia.

Methods: Serum myoglobin concentrations in patients with EHS were measured at admission, 24 h and 48 h after admission and discharge. The risk of AKI at 48 h was the primary outcome; the secondary outcome was composite outcome events with myoglobin levels and AKI at discharge and death at 90 days. In experimental studies, we further investigated the mechanisms of human kidney proximal tubular (HK-2) cells that were exposed to human myoglobin under heat stress conditions and the effect of baicalein.

Results: Our measurements showed that the highest myoglobin quartile (. the lowest) had an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 18.95 (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.00-59.83) for AKI and that the OR (. quartile 2) was 7.92 (95% CI, 1.62-38.89) for the secondary outcome. The survival rate of HK-2 cells treated with myoglobin under heat stress was significantly decreased, and the production of Fe2+ and reactive oxygen species (ROS) was markedly increased, accompanied by changes in ferroptosis proteins, including increased p53, decreased SLC7A11 and GPX4, and alterations in endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) marker proteins. Treatment with baicalein attenuated HK-2 cell ferroptosis induced by myoglobin under heat stress through inhibition of ERS.

Conclusions: High myoglobin was associated with AKI in the EHS, and its mechanisms involved ERS-associated ferroptosis. Baicalein may be a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of AKI in patients with high myoglobin induced by rhabdomyolysis following EHS.

Objective: Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is usually confused with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) in clinical practice. Our study aimed to establish convenient and reliable diagnostic models for distinguishing between LGMD and IIM.

Methods: A total of 71 IIM patients, 24 LGMDR2 patients and 22 LGMDR1 patients diagnosed at our neuromuscular center were enrolled.

Construction of a risk prediction model of diquat poisoning based on clinical indicators.

Crit Rev Toxicol

December 2024

Emergency Department, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.

This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in patients with diquat (DQ) poisoning and to develop a clinical risk assessment model to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies. Data from 60 patients with DQ poisoning, including basic characteristics, poisoning severity, and inflammatory response indicators, were collected. The plasma concentration of DQ was measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most common causes of sudden death in cardiovascular disease, and myoglobin (Myo) is the first protein to be released in the blood after the attack, which is an important biomarker for clinical detection of AMI. The "Golden Rescue Time" for acute myocardial infarction is to intervene within the first 30 min after the attack; therefore, a rapid and accurate Myo detection method is needed urgently. In this study, we designed a combined enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay (ELI-SERS), which integrates the small sample volume, ease of operation, and excellent linearity of ELISA while utilizing the SERS technique and selecting the molecule with the Raman signal (IR-808), which is in resonance with the excitation wavelength, for further signal enhancement.
