Article Abstract

Objective: To observe the ultrastructure changes of cerebral cortex neuron and endothelial cell in hypoxia preconditioning mice and the effects of Tongxinluo (TXL, Chinese traditional medilihe) on them.

Methods: Mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, hypoxia group, hypoxia preconditioning (HP) group and Tongxinluo (TXL) group. The hypoxia preconditioning mice were exposed by repetitive hypoxia for 5 runs. The animal's tolerance time of each hypoxia run was recorded. The ultrastructure change of cerebral neuron and endothelial cell were studied by electron microscope.

Results: The hypoxic tolerance time in HP and TXL groups were significantly increased run by run. Compared with HP group, the tolerance time of TXL group were increased in every run. The ultrastructure of cerebral neuron and endothelial cell in hypoxia group changed obviously, mitochondrion and endoplasmic reticulum destroyed. However they were slighter in HP group than those in hypoxia group. The change in TXL group had no obvious differentce with control group and were slighter than those in HP group.

Conclusion: Hypoxia preconditioning shows that organism has a strong self-repairing ability. Tongxinluo self-repairing; could increase self-repairing ability and adaptive ability of mice to hypoxia obviously.

Current therapeutics for hypoxic/ischemic brain damage can benefit from insights resulting from the study of hypoxia/anoxia resistant organisms. Hypoxia resistance, however, is not a common feature in mammalian models. Being naturally exposed to hypoxic/anoxic conditions, the sea hare could become a very useful model for the study of hypoxia resistance.

Innovative strategies to enhance MSCs efficacy in acute kidney injury (Review).

Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a significant clinical challenge, characterized by rapid kidney dysfunction with potential progression to chronic kidney disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer promising therapeutic potential due to their regenerative, immunomodulatory and anti‑inflammatory capabilities. Despite these advantages, clinical translation is hampered by low MSCs retention, limited cell survival and suboptimal secretion of therapeutic factors in injured renal tissues.

The protective effects of sevoflurane (Sev) in cardiovascular disease have been well documented in studies. The investigation aimed to clarify the contribution of miR-1291 to the pathophysiological process of hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocyte injury in the setting of Sev preconditioning. H/R cell models were constructed with AC16 cells and the cell models were pretreated with 1%, 1.

Acute and chronic neurodegenerative conditions (NDs) are major causes of disability and mortality worldwide. Acute NDs encompass conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and spinal cord injury (SCI). On the other hand, chronic NDs include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Background: During pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), cardiac cells develop a hypertrophic and apoptosis-resistant phenotype. Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy has been shown to mitigate pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH; however, successful application is limited by low potency and the need for a high number of MSCs. MSCs exposed to hypoxia release more extracellular vesicles (EV)s with different content than normoxia.
