Several technetium-99 BATO (boronic acid adduct of technetium dioximes) complexes TcX(dioxime)3BR (X = Cl) that contain a boron cap R which bears a 2- or 4-nitroimidazole moiety have been prepared from either TcCl(dioxime)3 or from Tc(dioxime)3(mu-OH)SnCl3 [dioxime = dimethyl glyoxime (DMG) or cyclohexanedione dioxime (CDO)]. Two hydroxy analogs (X = OH) were isolated by treatment of the corresponding chloro complexes with aqueous NaOH. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, NMR, UV/vis spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography. These complexes have the potential for selective retention in hypoxic tissue, by a mechanism believed to be the result of nitro reduction. The electrochemistry and enzymatic reduction of these complexes was studied to assess the potential for reduction in vivo. The nitroreductase enzyme xanthine oxidase was shown to reduce the nitroimidazole group on the complexes 99TcOH(DMG)3BBNO2 and 99TcOH(DMG)3BprenNO2 under anaerobic conditions in the presence of hypoxanthine. However, the results indicated that the rate of reduction might be slow in vivo, limiting the suitability of these compounds for imaging of regions of hypoxia.

Calcium phosphates, notably monetite, are valued biomaterials for bone applications owing to their osteogenic properties and rapid uptake by bone cells. This study investigates the enhancement of these properties through Cobalt doping, which is known to induce hypoxia and promote bone cell differentiation. Heat treatments at 700°C, 900°C, and 1050°C are applied to both monetite and Cobalt-doped monetite, facilitating the development of purer, more crystalline phases with varied particle sizes and optimized cellular responses.

Aim: To study the effect and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of VDAC1-ΔC on autophagy in renal tubular epithelial cells injured by hypoxia/reoxygenation.
Methods: C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into groups: sham operation group, IRI 1d group and IRI 2d group. The inner canthal blood of mice was collected to detect the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen and kidney tissues were sampled, and sections were stained with Periodic acid-Schiff for morphological evaluation.

Hypoxia is a significant stressor, and stabilized hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) regulates the expression of numerous genes, leading to various biochemical, molecular, physiological and genomic changes. The body's oxygen-sensing system activates gene expression to protect brain tissues from hypoxia. Gamma-aminobutyric acid, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, regulates brain excitability during hypoxia through the activation of HIF-1 α.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) initiates the cellular response to low oxygen levels, making it an attractive target for stimulating therapeutic angiogenesis. Several small molecules have been identified that stabilize HIF-1α and activate the angiogenic signaling pathway. However, achieving therapeutic doses of bioactive small molecules in target tissues remains challenging.

Spheroids serve as the building blocks for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted tissue patches. When larger than 500 μm, the desired size for 3D bioprinting, they tend to have a hypoxic core with necrotic cells. Therefore, it is critical to assess the viability of spheroids in order to ensure the successful fabrication of high-viability patches.
