Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is increasingly recognized as a significant cardiovascular disease with a growing global incidence. Interventions targeting the oxidative microenvironment have long been pivotal in therapeutic strategies. However, many antioxidant drugs face limitations due to pharmacokinetic and delivery challenges, such as short half-life, poor stability, low bioavailability, and significant side effects. Fortunately, nanotherapies exhibit considerable potential in addressing IHD. Nanomedicines offer advantages such as passive/active targeting, prolonged circulation time, enhanced bioavailability, and diverse carrier options. This comprehensive review explores the advancements in nanomedicines for mitigating IHD through oxidative stress regulation, providing an extensive overview for researchers in the field of antioxidant nanomedicines. By inspiring further research, this study aims to accelerate the development of novel therapies for myocardial injury.

Abstract
Vascular diseases (VDs) pose the leading threat worldwide due to high morbidity and mortality. The detection of VDs is commonly dependent on individual signs, which limits the accuracy and timeliness of therapies, especially for asymptomatic patients in clinical management. Therefore, more effective early diagnosis and lesion-targeted treatments remain a pressing clinical need. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials formed by the coordination of inorganic metal ions and organic ligands. Due to their unique high specific surface area, structural flexibility, and functional versatility, MOFs are recognized as highly promising candidates for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in the field of VDs. In this review, the potential of MOFs to act as biosensors, contrast agents, artificial nanozymes, and multifunctional therapeutic agents in the diagnosis and treatment of VDs from the clinical perspective, highlighting the integration between clinical methods with MOFs is generalized. At the same time, multidisciplinary cooperation from chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine to promote the substantial commercial transformation of MOFs in tackling VDs is called for.

Abstract
Antioxidants play an important role in the prevention of oxidative stress and have been widely used in medicine and healthcare. However, natural antioxidants have several limitations such as low stability, difficult long-term storage, and high cost of large-scale production. Along with significant advances in nanotechnology, nanomaterials have emerged as a promising solution to improve the limitations of natural antioxidants because of their high stability, easy storage, time effectiveness, and low cost. Among various types of nanomaterials exhibiting antioxidant activity, metal-based nanoantioxidants show excellent reactivity because of the presence of an unpaired electron in their atomic structure. In this review, we summarize some novel metal-based nanoantioxidants and classify them into two main categories, namely chain-breaking and preventive antioxidant nanomaterials. In addition, the applications of antioxidant nanomaterials in medicine and healthcare are also discussed. This review provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of metal-based nanoantioxidants and a guideline for using these nanomaterials in medicine and healthcare.

Abstract
Ischemia-induced myocardial injury has become a serious threat to human health, and its treatment remains a challenge. The occurrence of ischemic events leads to a burst release of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which triggers extensive oxidative damage and leads to dysfunctional autophagy, making it difficult for cells to maintain homeostasis. Antioxidants and modulation of autophagy have thus become promising strategies for the treatment of ischemic myocardial injury. This study proposes an antioxidant-activated autophagy therapeutic regimen based on combining melanin (Mel), an excellent antioxidant with metformin mimetic ploymetformin via electrostatic interactions, to obtain a nanocomplex (Met-Mel). The nanocomplex is finally encapsulated with platelet membranes (PMN) to construct a biomimetic nanoparticle (PMN@Met-Mel) capable of targeting injured myocardium. The prepared PMN@Met-Mel has good Mel loading capacity and optimal biosafety. It exhibits excellent antioxidant activity and autophagy activation, rapidly restoring mitochondrial function. Moreover, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis reveals that PMN@Met-Mel operates mechanistically by triggering the activation of the autophagy pathway. Subsequent in vivo experiments showcase promising cardioprotective effects of these nanoparticles. These discoveries present a newly devised nanoplatform with promising potential for the effective treatment of myocardial infarction.

Abstract
U(VI) pollution has already led to serious harm to the environment and human health with the increase of human activities. The viability of RAW264.7 cells was assessed under various U(VI) concentration stress for 24 and 48 h. The reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities of RAW264.7 cells under U(VI) stress were measured. The results showed that U(VI) decreased cell activity, induced intracellular ROS production, abnormal MMP, and increased SOD activity. The flow cytometry with Annexin-V/PI double labeling demonstrated that the rate of late apoptosis increased with the increase of U(VI) concentration, resulting in decreased Bcl-2 expression and increased Bax expression. The morphology of RAW264.7 cells dramatically changed after 48 h U(VI) exposure, including the evident bubble phenomenon. Besides, U(VI) also increased the proportion of LDH releases and increased GSDMD, and Ras, p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 protein expression, which indicated that the MAPK pathway was also involved. Therefore, U(VI) ultimately led to apoptosis and pyroptosis in RAW264.7 cells. This study offered convincing proof of U(VI) immunotoxicity and established the theoretical framework for further fundamental studies on U(VI) toxicity.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries and among older populations. Conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have limitations such as low sensitivity, high cost and side effects. Nanotechnology offers promising alternative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by exploiting the unique properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we use bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots in the application of nanotechnology in CHD and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemic/reperfusion (IR) injury is a global cardiovascular disease with high mortality and morbidity. Therapeutic interventions for myocardial ischemia involve restoring the occluded coronary artery. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) inevitably impair the cardiomyocytes during the ischemic and reperfusion phases. Antioxidant therapy holds great promise against myocardial IR injury. The current therapeutic methodologies for ROS scavenging depend predominantly on administering antioxidants. Nevertheless, the intrinsic drawbacks of antioxidants limit their further clinical transformation. The use of nanoplatforms with versatile characteristics greatly benefits drug delivery in myocardial ischemic therapy. Nanoplatform-mediated drug delivery significantly improves drug bioavailability, increases therapeutic index, and reduces systemic toxicity. Nanoplatforms can be specifically and reasonably designed to enhance molecule accumulation at the myocardial site. The present review initially summarizes the mechanism of ROS generation during the process of myocardial ischemia. The understanding of this phenomenon will facilitate the advancement of innovative therapeutic strategies against myocardial IR injury. The latest developments in nanomedicine for treating myocardial ischemic injury are then discussed. Finally, the current challenges and perspectives in antioxidant therapy for myocardial IR injury are addressed.

Idebenone attenuates ferroptosis by inhibiting excessive autophagy via the ROS-AMPK-mTOR pathway to preserve cardiac function after myocardial infarction. Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 943:175569.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of mortality worldwide. As a type of CVDs, myocardial infarction (MI) induces ischemia hypoxia, which leads to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in multiple cell deaths and contributing to the subsequent development of heart failure or premature death. Recent evidence indicates that ROS-induced lipid peroxidation promotes autophagy and ferroptosis, leading to the loss of healthy myocardium and resulting in the dysfunction of cardiac tissue. Theoretically, cardiac function would be preserved after MI by inhibiting autophagy and ferroptosis. As an analog of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and a clinically approved drug, idebenone would be used to inhibit ferroptosis and preserve cardiac function due to its capacity to improve mitochondrial physiology with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we confirmed that the addition of idebenone inhibited H2O2-induced and RSL3-induced ferroptosis. Furthermore, the ROS-AMPK-mTOR pathway axis was identified as the signaling pathway that idebenone stimulated to prevent excessive autophagy and consequent ferroptosis. In the MI animal model, idebenone demonstrated a cardioprotective role by regulating ROS-dependent autophagy and inhibiting ferroptosis, which paves the way for the future clinical translation of idebenone in MI management.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on anaplastic thyroid cancer cells (CAL-62 cells) and to reveal the molecular mechanism. The effects of CAP on CAL-62 cells were evaluated by cell viability, superoxide dismutase activity, apoptosis, cell cycle, and protein expression level, and the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by plasma was also investigated. The results showed that CAP dose-dependently inhibited cell viability and promotes cell apoptosis and G2/M arrest by increasing cell ROS levels. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was enhanced by CAP which indicated that the antioxidant system of the cell was activated. Additionally, the ROS produced by CAP can inhibit CAL-62 cell proliferation by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Therefore, these findings will provide useful support for the application of CAP for treating anaplastic thyroid cancer.
