We evaluated high-energy phosphate (HEP) levels and the ability to perform work in rat hearts preserved by standard techniques (0.9% NaCl arrest and storage at 4 degrees C) and by continuous coronary perfusion at 22 degrees C, pH 7.25, and 55 mm Hg for 4 or 8 hr with Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB), modified Morgan's solution (MCS), or a medium developed in our lab (physiologically complete medium or PCM). Cardiac work was evaluated in the rewarmed hearts with use of a working heart preparation at left atrial pressures of 10, 15, and 20 cm H2O, and by measurement of aortic flow, coronary flow, heart rate, and peak systolic pressure. HEP levels in the hearts continuously perfused were significantly higher (p less than .05) than those in the hearts stored at 4 degrees C. The functional recovery of hearts preserved by storage in cold saline for 4 or 8 hr was significantly less (p less than .01) than the recovered function of hearts preserved for comparable periods by perfusion at 22 degrees C with either MCS or PCM. The results indicate that continuous perfusion at 22 degrees C with a more physiologic medium is superior to hypothermic arrest and storage at 4 degrees C for the preservation of donor heart function and HEP levels.

Oxaliplatin induces pyroptosis in hepatoma cells and enhances antitumor immunity against hepatocellular carcinoma.
Br J Cancer

Department of Liver Surgery, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Pyroptosis is closely associated with chemotherapeutic drugs and immune response. Here, we investigated whether oxaliplatin, a key drug in FOLFOX-hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (FOLFOX-HAIC), induces pyroptosis in hepatoma cells and enhances antitumor immunity after tumor cell death.
Methods: Hepatoma cells were treated with oxaliplatin.

The present study aims to explore the anticancer efficacy of Diosmin by inducing mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in human epidermoid carcinoma cells (Hep-2). This is done by cell line assays and studying crucial inflammatory and apoptotic signaling molecules. The cytotoxicity property of Diosmin was evaluated by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.

This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of a novel capsaicinoid glucoside (CG) against HO-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism. CG treatment significantly reduced HO-induced cell mortality and attenuated the production of lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, CG drastically reduced the ROS levels 18.

Background: Exposure to air pollution is associated with worldwide morbidity and mortality. Diesel exhaust (DE) emissions are important contributors which induce vascular inflammation and metabolic disturbances by unknown mechanisms. We aimed to determine molecular pathways activated by DE in the liver that could be responsible for its cardiometabolic toxicity.
