Article Abstract

Minocylcine, a tetracycline derivate, has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system. In this study, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury models were established using the suture method, and minocycline was immediately injected intraperitoneally after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (22.5 mg/kg, initially 45 mg/kg) at a 12-hour interval. Results showed that after minocycline treatment, the volume of cerebral infarction was significantly reduced, the number of surviving cell in the hippocampal CA1 region increased, the number of apoptotic cells decreased, the expression of caspase-3 and poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase-1 protein was down-regulated, and the escape latency in the water maze test was significantly shortened compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group. Our experimental findings indicate that minocycline can protect against neuronal injury induced by focal ischemia-reperfusion, which may be mediated by the inhibition of caspase-3 and poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase-1 protein expression.

20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and cell death in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Neuroinflammation is crucial post-CIRI, but how 20(R)-Rg3 affects ischemia‒reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation is unclear. To study 20(R)-Rg3's effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal preservation in stroke models and explore toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway mechanisms.

Background: Inflammatory injury in organ donors, particularly after brain death and during ischemia-reperfusion, contributes to graft dysfunction, rejection, and reduced survival. Statins, beyond their lipid-lowering role, exert pleiotropic anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, including IL-6 suppression, NF-κB inhibition, immune cell modulation, and potential alteration of exosome secretion.

Methods: Building upon this background, this narrative review synthesises preclinical and clinical evidence on pre-donation statin therapy in solid organ transplantation.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major contributor to the high morbidity and mortality associated with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R). Despite its severity, current clinical management of ALI remains limited to supportive care without addressing the cause of the disease, underscoring the urgent need to investigate the underlying mechanism and develop targeted therapies. In this study, we employed both in vitro and in vivo models to explore ALI in the setting of II/R.

Background: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), a novel neuroprotective therapy, has broad potential for reducing the occurrence and recurrence of cerebrovascular events, yet its mechanisms are not incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to investigate whether RIC alleviates apoptosis, inflammation, and reperfusion injury in rat models of ischemic stroke by regulating the Elabela (ELA)-apelin-Apelin receptor (APJ) system.

Methods: We established a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with ischemia-reperfusion injury, and RIC was administered twice daily for 3 days post-MCAO.
