Aims: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury predominantly causes acute lung injury (ALI), and in severe instances, acute respiratory distress syndrome, both associated with high mortality. Electroacupuncture (EA) excels in regulating autonomic nervous system balance and safeguarding organ function. This study delved into EA's impacts and mechanisms on II/R-induced ALI.

Renal ischemic disease represents a severe clinical pathological condition commonly observed in acute kidney injury (AKI), renal transplantation, and kidney surgery. It leads to renal tubular epithelial cell damage, inflammatory responses, and cell death, potentially progressing to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or even renal failure, significantly impairing patients' quality of life and survival rates. Current therapeutic strategies for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) include pharmacological interventions, cell therapy, and gene therapy, yet their efficacy remains limited and may be accompanied by adverse effects.

Objectives: Contrast extravasation on imaging studies is a clinical surrogate for bleeding severity. However, the prognostic relevance of this imaging sign needs to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of contrast extravasation defined by computed tomography (CT) and angiography on massive transfusion and 30-day mortality in patients with acute bleeding undergoing transarterial embolization (TAE).
