The objective of the study was to investigate a proposed linear relationship between the extent of myocardial ischemic injury and the ST-segment/heart rate (ST/HR) slope by computer simulation of the injury sources arising in exercise electrocardiographic (ECG) tests. The extent and location of the ischemic injury were simulated for both single- and multivessel coronary artery disease by use of an accurate source-volume conductor model which assumes a linear relationship between heart rate and extent of ischemia. The results indicated that in some cases the ST/HR slope in leads II, aVF, and especially V5 may be related to the extent of ischemia. However, the simulations demonstrated that neither the ST-segment deviation nor the ST/HR slope was directly proportional to either the area of the ischemic boundary or the number of vessels occluded. Furthermore, in multivessel coronary artery disease, the temporal and spatial diversity of the generated multiple injury sources distorted the presumed linearity between ST-segment deviation and heart rate. It was concluded that the ST/HR slope and ST-segment deviation of the 12-lead ECG are not able to indicate extent of ischemic injury or number of vessels occluded.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major obstacle in liver transplantation, especially with steatotic donor livers. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been implicated in modulating IRI, and plays a pivotal role in regulating host inflammatory and immune responses, but its specific role in liver transplantation IRI remains unclear. This study explores whether can mitigate IRI and its underlying mechanisms.

Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), including pre-conditioning (RIPC, before the ischemic event), per-conditioning (RIPerC, during the ischemic event), and post-conditioning (RIPostC, after the ischemic event), protects the liver in animal hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injuries models. However, several questions regarding the optimal timing of intervention and administration protocols remain unanswered. Therefore, the preclinical evidence on RIC in the HIRI models was systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed in the present review to provide constructive and helpful information for future works.

Introduction: 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) is a promising translational therapy in several brain injury models, including the neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) model in mice. However, the neuroprotective effect of 7,8-DHF was only observed in female, but not male, neonatal mice with HI brain injury. It is unknown whether HI-induced physiological changes affect brain distribution of 7,8-DHF differently for male versus female mice.

Background: Oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the critical conditions which needs emergent treatment due to the lack of the capacity of excreting toxins and fluids, and plasma membrane bleb formation is considered as one of the characteristic morphologic alterations in ischemic AKI in both animal models and human. We present here an autopsy case with clear electron microscopy images capturing a definitive instance of blebbing in ischemic AKI.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old man was admitted for oliguric AKI with nephrotic syndrome (NS).
