Article Abstract

Intraoperative near-infrared spectroscopy cerebral oxygenation monitoring assists intraoperative decision-making in environments without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or access to cardiac transplantation. We report a case of an anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), undergoing cardiac surgery. A 4-month-old infant presented in extremis with cardiac failure. We discuss the pathophysiology and challenging intraoperative management of ALCAPA with extensive ischaemia and myocardial infarction.

Background: Microglia are brain resident cells that control neural network maintenance, damage healing, and brain development. Microglia undergo apoptosis, cytokine production, and reactive free radicals of oxygen (ROS) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. TRPM2 is activated by LPS-induced oxidative stress, but it is inhibited by carvacrol (CARV) and N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA).

Multi-Enzymatic Cascade Catalysis in Photodynamic Nanozymes for Augmenting Radiotherapy of Breast Cancer.

Overcoming resistance to radiotherapy remains a significant challenge in breast cancer management. A one-step coordinated synthesis of BODIPY-integrated photodynamic nanozymes (FZBNPs) that facilitate an orthogonal catalytic cascade for radiotherapy potentiation is presented. The engineered FZBNPs simultaneously alleviate tumor hypoxia through catalase-mimetic oxygen (O) generation and amplify reactive oxygen species (ROS) production via peroxidase-like activity, synergizing with BODIPY-mediated singlet oxygen (O) generation under 660 nm light irradiation.

The GPR120 agonist TUG-891 mitigates ischemic brain injury by attenuating endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Extensive research has confirmed that omega-3 fatty acids provide cardiovascular protection primarily by activating the G protein-coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) signaling pathway. However, natural activators of this receptor often lack sufficient strength and precision. TUG-891, a recently synthesized selective GPR120 activator, has displayed significant therapeutic potential in multiple disease.

7-Ketocholesterol as a Critical Oxysterol: Impact on Human Health and Safety in Food Systems.

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol

Biochemistry and Phytochemistry Research Division, Jubilee Centre for Medical Research, Thrissur, Kerala, 680005, India. Electronic address:

7-Ketocholesterol (7-KC) is a biologically active oxysterol formed through the oxidation of cholesterol, predominantly under conditions of oxidative stress. It is generated both enzymatically in specific tissues such as the brain and liver, and non-enzymatically via reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially in aging tissues and heat-processed animal-derived foods. 7-KC exerts multifaceted effects on human health, extending beyond lipid metabolism to disrupt glucose and amino acid utilization, impair mitochondrial function, and provoke endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

One of the key factors contributing to the poor prognosis of glioblastoma is the treatment resistance of glioma stem cells (GSCs). In this study, the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using talaporfin sodium (NPe6), a second-generation photosensitizer, in combination with a semiconductor laser approved for clinical use in Japan was evaluated. The evaluation was performed in a patient-derived glioma stem cell (GSC) line, MGG8, which was established from human glioblastoma tissue.
