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.

In this study, the alleviative effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis of amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were evaluated. Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, amur ide were irregularity divided into 4 groups and fed two diets with 0.00 % (CK and LPS), 0.

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).
