Aims: The relationship between heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and human ischemic stroke outcome remains unclear, which was investigated in this study.

Methods: Acute ischemic stroke patients admitted within 24 h were enrolled. Serum HO-1 levels at baseline were measured via ELISA. Poor 3-month functional outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 3-6. Multivariable-adjusted binary logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were employed to examine association between serum HO-1 and functional outcome. HO-1's additive prognostic utility was assessed by net reclassification index (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).

Results: Of 194 eligible patients, 79 (40.7%) developed poor functional outcomes at 3-month follow-up. The highest quartile of serum HO-1 was independently associated with a lower risk of poor functional outcome (adjusted OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.04-0.45; p = 0.001) compared with the lowest HO-1 category. The relationship between higher HO-1 levels and reduced risk of poor functional outcome was linear and dose responsive (p = 0.002 for linearity). Incorporating HO-1 into the analysis with conventional factors significantly improved reclassification for poor functional outcomes (NRI = 41.2%, p = 0.004; IDI = 5.0%, p = 0.004).

Conclusions: Elevated serum HO-1 levels at baseline were independently associated with improved 3-month functional outcomes post-ischemic stroke. Serum HO-1 measurement may enhance outcome prediction beyond conventional clinical factors.

Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder caused by a mutation in the HBB gene, which encodes the beta-globin subunit of hemoglobin. This mutation leads to the production of abnormal hemoglobin S (HbS), causing red blood cells to deform into a sickle shape. These deformed cells can block blood flow, leading to complications like chronic hemolysis, anemia, severe pain episodes, and organ damage.

Methomyl (MET), a universally used insecticide, has many adverse effects on various organs in both humans and animals including the liver, kidneys, and heart. Betaine (BET), a natural antioxidant, has a protective role against many toxicants-induced cardiovascular disorders. The present study was designed to elucidate the molecular mechanistic way underlying the mitigating effect of BET against MET-induced cardiopulmonary injury and inflammation in rats.

Objective: Ferroptosis has been described in association with acute kidney injury (AKI)-induced sepsis. Fibronectin type III domain containing protein 5 (FNDC5)/irisin plays a crucial role in renal protection. The objective of this study was to investigate whether FNDC5/irisin is involved in AKI-induced sepsis by modulating ferroptosis, and the molecular mechanisms that may be involved.

The natural flavonoid quercetin, which exhibits a range of biological activities, has been implicated in liver disease resistance in recent research. study attesting to quercetin's protective effect against metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is inadequate, however. Here, our investigation explored the potential benefits of quercetin in preventing MAFLD in C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD).
