Background: Thousands of units of whole blood (WB) and blood components are transfused daily to treat trauma patients. Improved methods for blood storage are critical to support trauma-related care. The Hemanext ONE® system offers a unique method for hypoxic storage of WB, with successfully demonstrated storage of clinically viable RBCs. This work evaluated the system for the storage of WB, focusing on platelet health and function.
Study Design And Methods: WB was collected from healthy donors and processed through the Hemanext ONE® system. Hemoglobin oxygen saturation (HbSO) levels of WB were depleted to 10%, 20%, or 30% of total HbSO and then stored in PVC bags sealed in oxygen-impermeable bags (except for normoxic control) with samples collected on days 1, 7, and 14 post-processing. Flow cytometry assessed the activation and apoptosis of platelets. Clot dynamics were assessed based on aggregometry and thromboelastography assays, as well as thrombin generation using a calibrated-automated thrombogram method.
Results: Hypoxic storage conditions were maintained throughout the storage period. Hypoxia triggered increased lactate production, but pH changes were negligible compared to normoxic control. Storage at 10% HbSO had a significant impact on platelet function, resulting in increased activation and reduced clot formation and aggregation. These effects were less significant at 20% and 30% HbSO.
Discussion: This study indicates that platelets are sensitive to hypoxic storage and suffer significant metabolic and functional deterioration when stored at or below 10% HbSO.

Lipid-coated oxygen microbubbles (OMBs) are being investigated for biomedical applications to alleviate hypoxia such as systemic oxygenation and image-guided radiosensitization therapy. Additionally, they hold potential for boarder application as oxygen carriers beyond the biomedical filed. Understanding the stability and oxygen release properties of OMBs in dynamic aqueous environments is critical for these applications.

Article Synopsis
- Uterus transplantation is currently the only solution for women with absolute uterine infertility, such as those with Rokitansky syndrome, allowing them to experience pregnancy and childbirth.
- There are significant challenges with uterus transplantation, including the risks of ischemia-reperfusion injury and a notable thrombotic complication rate of up to 20%, which can lead to graft rejection.
- This protocol aims to outline the surgical steps for obtaining porcine uteruses and implementing dynamic preservation through machine perfusion, which may reduce hypoxic injury compared to traditional static cold storage methods.
Phthalocyanine aggregates as semiconductor-like photocatalysts for hypoxic-tumor photodynamic immunotherapy.

Photodynamic immunotherapy (PIT) has emerged as a promising approach for efficient eradication of primary tumors and inhibition of tumor metastasis. However, most of photosensitizers (PSs) for PIT exhibit notable oxygen dependence. Herein, a concept emphasizing on transition from molecular PSs into semiconductor-like photocatalysts is proposed, which converts the PSs from type II photoreaction to efficient type I photoreaction.

Research on how plants respond to hypoxia has concentrated on model organisms where tissues can only survive hypoxic conditions for a few hours to a few days. In contrast, hypoxic conditions are used commercially as a method to prolong the shelf life of (apple) fruit for up to a year of storage without substantial changes in fruit quality, not to mention a lack of tissue death. This ability of apples to withstand protracted hypoxic conditions is an interesting adaptation that has had limited molecular investigation despite its economic importance.

This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of STAT3 inhibition in reducing oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage and apoptosis, a major factor contributing to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our findings demonstrate that STAT3 inhibitors significantly enhance cell survival and reduce apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to hydrogen peroxide. These protective effects are mediated through the ERK/CREB signaling pathway rather than direct suppression of STAT3 phosphorylation.
