Objective: We sought to explore the linear or nonlinear relationship between preoperative iron metabolism and acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Methods: Patients who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB between December 2018 and April 2021 were retrospectively collected from Fuwai Hospital and Medical Information Mart for Intensive Cared dataset (MIMIC-IV). The measurements of iron metabolism included serum iron (SI), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin (TRF), transferrin saturation (TS), and total iron binding capacity (TIBC). Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used for linear and nonlinear analysis. The primary outcome was postoperative AKI with 48 h after cardiac surgery.
Results: Of 10,639 patients screened (2420 in Fuwai Hospital and 8219 in MIMIC-IV dataset),1488 eligible patients were enrolled for the final analysis (Fuwai Hospital: n = 744, MIMIC-IV: n = 744).The incidence of AKI was 25.7% and 56.5%, respectively. Logistic regression showed that the levels of TRF (odds ratio (OR) = 1.53,95%CI:1.01-2.14, p = 0.012) and TIBC (OR = 1.05,95%CI:1.02-1.07, p < 0.001) were independent risk factor for AKI. Moreover, in the spline models adjusted with age (median:56), female, and history of diabetes, a significant statistical difference was observed between SI, SF, TRF, TS, TIBC (p for nonlinear < 0.05) and AKI in the Fuwai Hospital dataset. Additionally, the levels of SI (p for nonlinear 0.0364),SF (p for nonlinear 0.0461) were also in non-linear relationship with AKI in the MIMIC-IV dataset.
Conclusion: Iron metabolism markers (SI, SF, TS, TRF, and TIBC) displayed a nonlinear relationship with AKI by the RCS model (adjusted by age, gender, and history of diabetes). Notably, the MIMIC-IV dataset, which includes elderly patients, also demonstrated a nonlinear relationship between SI, SF and AKI. These findings highlight the potential therapeutic value of targeting proteins related to iron metabolism in patients with AKI.

A fluorescence "turn-off-on" nanoprobe is designed by using europium-doped strontium molybdate perovskite quantum dots (Eu:SMO PQDs) for the sequential detection of hypoxanthine (Hx) and Fe. The Eu:SMO PQDs were prepared by the sol-gel method using Sr(NO), (NH)MoO.4HO, and Eu(OCOCH) as precursors.

Melanoma is a devastating form of skin cancer characterized by a high mutational burden, limited treatment success, and dismal prognosis. Although immunotherapy and targeted therapies have significantly revolutionized melanoma treatment, the majority of patients fail to achieve durable responses, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by the overwhelming accumulation of lipid peroxides, has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach in preclinical melanoma models.

Background: A decline in skeletal muscle mass and function known as skeletal muscle sarcopenia is an inevitable consequence of aging. Sarcopenia is a major cause of decreased muscle strength, physical frailty and increased muscle fatigability, contributing significantly to an increased risk of physical disability and functional dependence among the elderly. There remains a significant need for a novel therapy that can improve sarcopenia and related problems in aging.

FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH RT) is an innovative modality in cancer treatment that delivers ultrahigh dose rates (UHDRs), distinguishing it from conventional radiotherapy (CRT). FLASH RT has demonstrated the potential to enhance the therapeutic window by reducing radiation-induced damage to normal tissues while maintaining tumor control, a phenomenon termed the FLASH effect. Despite promising outcomes, the precise mechanisms underlying the FLASH effect remain elusive and are a focal point of current research.
