Staphylococcus aureus () is a clinically significant pathogenic bacterium. Daptomycin (DAP) is a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria, including . However, DAP currently faces clinical limitations due to its short half-life, toxic side effects, and increasingly severe drug resistance issues.

Difenoconazole-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers: Preparation, Characterization, and Evaluation.

: Difenoconazole (DFC) is a broad-spectrum fungicide. However, its application is limited due to poor aqueous solubility. Drugs with low solubility can be better absorbed using nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs).

Background: Intestinal dysfunction plays an important role in the clinical progress and prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Qingyi decoction (QYD) has shown beneficial effects on intestinal function recovery, but the prevention actions of the QYD on intestinal paralysis and its mechanism have not been fully explored.

Methods: The possible molecular mechanism was unraveled by network pharmacology, including active ingredients and potential target prediction, as well as GO, KEGG, and REATCOME pathway enrichment analyses.

4-Octyl itaconate alleviates renal ischemia reperfusion injury by ameliorating endoplasmic reticulum stress via Nrf2 pathway.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common clinical complication of multiple severe diseases. Owing to its high mortality and the lack of effective treatment, renal IRI is still an intractable problem for clinicians. Itaconate, which is a metabolite of cis-aconitate, can exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant roles in many diseases.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide alleviates endotoxin-induced acute lung injury by modulating macrophage polarization via the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway.

Context: Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe condition with limited effective therapeutics; nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory activities.

Objective: This study explores the potential mechanisms by which NMN ameliorates sepsis-induced ALI and .

Materials And Methods: Cultured MH-S cells and a murine model were used to evaluate the effect of NMN on sepsis-induced ALI.

Interleukin-17D produced by alveolar epithelial type II cells alleviates LPS-induced acute lung injury via the Nrf2 pathway.

Background: Sepsis engenders an imbalance in the body's inflammatory response, with cytokines assuming a pivotal role in its progression. A relatively recent addition to the interleukin-17 family, denominated interleukin-17D (IL-17D), is notably abundant within pulmonary confines. Nevertheless, its implication in sepsis remains somewhat enigmatic.

Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoints Stimulation Improves Spontaneous Voiding Recovery After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Facilitating the recurrence of spontaneous voiding is considered to be a way to prevent urinary retention after surgery, which is of great importance in cholecystectomy. This study aimed to assess the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on spontaneous voiding recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectom.

Methods: Participants who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to either the TEAS group or the sham group.

Electroacupuncture protects against bladder dysfunction induced by acute urinary retention via TRPV1/ATP signaling pathway: An animal and human research study.

Electroacupuncture (EA) can protect against acute urinary retention (AUR); however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Non-vesicular ATP release mediated by transient receptor potential (TRP) channels were identified as a key contributor to signaling in urothelial cells. In this study, the AUR model was established by urethral outlet obstruction in female Sprague-Dawley rats.

Heme oxygenase-1 protects against endotoxin-induced acute lung injury depends on NAD-mediated mitonuclear communication through PGC1α/PPARγ signaling pathway.

Endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a challenging life-threatening disease for which no specific therapy exists. Mitochondrial dysfunction is corroborated as hallmarks in sepsis which commonly disrupt mitochondria-centered cellular communication networks, especially mitonuclear crosstalk, where the ubiquitous cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is essential for mitonuclear communication. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is critical for maintaining mitochondrial dynamic equilibrium and regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi stress to alleviating acute lung injury.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide ameliorates acute lung injury by inducing mitonuclear protein imbalance and activating the UPR.

Mitochondria need to interact with the nucleus under homeostasis and stress to maintain cellular demands and nuclear transcriptional programs. Disrupted mitonuclear interaction is involved in many disease processes. However, the role of mitonuclear signaling regulators in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) remains unknown.

Ropivacaine inhibits wound healing by suppressing the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway.

Background: After surgery, millions of people suffer from delayed healing or wound dehiscence with subsequent severe complications, even death. Previous studies have reported that ropivacaine exhibits anti-proliferative and anti-migratory activities on numerous cells. Whether ropivacaine is able to influence the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes is still unclear.

NAD ameliorates endotoxin-induced acute kidney injury in a sirtuin1-dependent manner via GSK-3β/Nrf2 signalling pathway.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a substantial worldwide public health concern with no specific and effective therapies in clinic. NAD is a pivotal determinant of cellular energy metabolism involved in the progression of AKI; however, its mechanism in kidney injury remains poorly understood. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is an NAD -dependent deacetylase associated with renal protection and acute stress resistance.

Hydromorphone Protects against CO Pneumoperitoneum-Induced Lung Injury via Heme Oxygenase-1-Regulated Mitochondrial Dynamics.

Various pharmacological agents and protective methods have been shown to reverse pneumoperitoneum-related lung injury, but identifying the best strategy is challenging. Herein, we employed lung tissues and blood samples from C57BL/6 mice with pneumoperitoneum-induced lung injury and blood samples from patients who received laparoscopic gynecological surgery to investigate the therapeutic role of hydromorphone in pneumoperitoneum-induced lung injury along with the underlying mechanism. We found that pretreatment with hydromorphone alleviated lung injury in mice that underwent CO insufflation, decreased the levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI), and increased total antioxidant status (TAS).

Dexmedetomidine ameliorates endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in vivo and in vitro by preserving mitochondrial dynamic equilibrium through the HIF-1a/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Increasing lines of evidence identified that dexmedetomidine (DEX) exerted protective effects against sepsis-stimulated acute lung injury via anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we investigated whether DEX afforded lung protection by regulating the process of mitochondrial dynamics through the HIF-1a/HO-1 pathway in vivo and in vitro.

Electroacupuncture Improves Cognition in Rats With Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy.

Background: Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common complication of sepsis. Although sepsis is effectively managed with the administration of antibiotics and source control, which may include surgical intervention, SAE usually leads to prolonged cognitive dysfunction affecting the quality of life of the patients. In this study, we investigated the possible effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on cognition in a model of SAE induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).

PI3K/Akt pathway-mediated HO-1 induction regulates mitochondrial quality control and attenuates endotoxin-induced acute lung injury.

Sepsis-related acute lung injury (ALI) remains a major cause of mortality in critically ill patients and lacks specific therapy. Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the progression of septic lung injury. Mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, and biogenesis converge to constitute the assiduous quality control of mitochondria (MQC).
