Abstract
Drowning remains a significant global health concern, claiming over 300,000 lives annually, with a disproportionate impact on young individuals in low-and middle-income countries. Conventional mechanical ventilation, while common, falls short in addressing the hypoxemia and hypercapnia often observed in severe near-drowning cases. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) emerges as a critical intervention for cardiopulmonary failure post-drowning. This case report delves into the pivotal role of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in a near-drowning-related pathology. Following the initial insult, reoxygenation exacerbates the inflammatory cascade, resulting in a surge of pro-inflammatory mediators. In this context, CytoSorb®, a hemoadsorption cartridge, demonstrates promise by effectively removing these mediators from circulation. This report outlines its application in a critically ill adolescent patient who experienced near-drowning, presenting a compelling case for CytoSorb as an adjunctive therapy in managing IRI-induced hyperinflammation.

Abstract
Upregulation of free radical-generating NADPH oxidases (NOX), xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), and neutrophil infiltration-induced, NOX2-mediated respiratory burst contribute to renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), but their roles may depend on the severity of IRI. We investigated the role of NOX, XOR, and neutrophils in developing IRI of various severities. C57BL/6 and Mcl-1ΔMyelo neutrophil-deficient mice were used. Oxidases were silenced by RNA interference (RNAi) or pharmacologically inhibited. Kidney function, morphology, immunohistochemistry and mRNA expression were assessed. After reperfusion, the expression of NOX enzymes and XOR increased until 6 h and from 15 h, respectively, while neutrophil infiltration was prominent from 3 h. NOX4 and XOR silencing or pharmacological XOR inhibition did not protect the kidney from IRI. Attenuation of NOX enzyme-induced oxidative stress by apocynin and neutrophil deficiency improved kidney function and ameliorated morphological damage after mild but not moderate/severe IRI. The IR-induced postischemic renal functional impairment (BUN, Lcn-2), tubular necrosis score, inflammation (TNF-α, F4/80), and decreases in the antioxidant enzyme (GPx3) mRNA expression were attenuated by both apocynin and neutrophil deficiency. Inhibition of NOX enzyme-induced oxidative stress or the lack of infiltration by NOX2-expressing neutrophils can attenuate reperfusion injury after mild but not moderate/severe renal IR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary graft dysfunction is often attributed to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and prevention would be a therapeutic approach to mitigate injury. Mitsugumin 53, a myokine, is a component of the endogenous cell membrane repair machinery. Previously, exogenous administration of recombinant human (recombinant human mitsugumin 53) protein has been shown to mitigate acute lung injury. In this study, we aimed to quantify a therapeutic benefit of recombinant human mitsugumin 53 to mitigate a transplant-relevant model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were subjected to 1 hour of ischemia (via left lung hilar clamp), followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. mg53-/- mice were administered exogenous recombinant human mitsugumin 53 or saline before reperfusion. Tissue, bronchoalveolar lavage, and blood samples were collected at death and used to quantify the extent of lung injury via histology and biochemical assays. RESULTS Administration of recombinant human mitsugumin 53 showed a significant decrease in an established biometric profile of lung injury as measured by lactate dehydrogenase and endothelin-1 in the bronchoalveolar lavage and plasma. Biochemical markers of apoptosis and pyroptosis (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α) were also significantly mitigated, overall demonstrating recombinant human mitsugumin 53's ability to decrease the inflammatory response of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Exogenous recombinant human mitsugumin 53 administration showed a trend toward decreasing overall cellular infiltrate and neutrophil response. Fluorescent colocalization imaging revealed recombinant human mitsugumin 53 was effectively delivered to the endothelium. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that recombinant human mitsugumin 53 has the potential to prevent or reverse ischemia-reperfusion injury-mediated lung damage. Although additional studies are needed in wild-type mice to demonstrate efficacy, this work serves as proof-of-concept to indicate the potential therapeutic benefit of mitsugumin 53 administration to mitigate ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Restoration of blood flow in skeletal muscle after a prolonged period of ischemia induces muscular ischemia-reperfusion injury, leading to local injury/dysfunction in muscles followed by systemic inflammatory responses. However, preventive/curative agents for skeletal muscle ischemia injury are unavailable in clinics to date. Increasing evidence has validated that carbon monoxide (CO) prevents the progression of ischemia-reperfusion injury in various organs owing to its versatile bioactivity. Previously, we developed a bioinspired CO donor, CO-bound red blood cells (CO-RBC), which mimics the dynamics of RBC-associated CO in the body. In the present study, we have tested the therapeutic potential of CO-RBC in muscular injury/dysfunction and secondary systemic inflammation induced by skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion. The results indicate that CO-RBC rather than RBC alone suppressed elevation of plasma creatine phosphokinase, a marker of muscular injury, in rats subjected to both hind limbs ischemia-reperfusion. In addition, the results of the treadmill walking test revealed a significantly decreased muscular motor function in RBC-treated rats subjected to both hind limbs ischemia-reperfusion than that in healthy rats, however, CO-RBC treatment facilitated sustained muscular motor functions after hind limbs ischemia-reperfusion. Furthermore, CO-RBC rather than RBC suppressed the production of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6, which were upregulated by muscular ischemia-reperfusion. Interestingly, CO-RBC treatment induced higher levels of IL-10 compared to saline or RBC treatments. Based on these findings, we suggest that CO-RBC exhibits a suppressive effect against skeletal muscle injury/dysfunction and systemic inflammatory responses after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) upon transplantation is one of the most impactful events that the kidney graft suffers during its life. Its clinical manifestation in the recipient, delayed graft function (DGF), has serious prognostic consequences. However, the different definitions of DGF are subject to physicians' choices and centers' policies, and a more objective tool to quantify IRI is needed. Here, we propose the use of donor-derived cell-free DNA (ddcfDNA) for this scope. METHODS ddcfDNA was assessed in 61 kidney transplant recipients of either living or deceased donors at 24 h, and 7, 14 and 30 days after transplantation using the AlloSeq cfDNA Kit (CareDx, San Francisco, CA, USA). Patients were followed-up for 6 months and 7-year graft survival was estimated through the complete and functional iBox tool. RESULTS Twenty-four-hour ddcfDNA was associated with functional DGF [7.20% (2.35%-15.50%) in patients with functional DGF versus 2.70% (1.55%-4.05%) in patients without it, P = .023] and 6-month estimated glomerular filtration rate (r = -0.311, P = .023). At Day 7 after transplantation, ddcfDNA was associated with dialysis duration in DGF patients (r = 0.612, P = .005) and worse 7-year iBox-estimated graft survival probability (β -0.42, P = .001) at multivariable analysis. Patients with early normalization of ddcfDNA (<0.5% at 1 week) had improved functional iBox-estimated probability of graft survival (79.5 ± 16.8%) in comparison with patients with 7-day ddcfDNA ≥0.5% (67.7 ± 24.1%) (P = .047). CONCLUSIONS ddcfDNA early kinetics after transplantation reflect recovery from IRI and are associated with short-, medium- and long-term graft outcome. This may provide a more objective estimate of IRI severity in comparison with the clinical-based definitions of DGF.

Abstract
Organ transplantation has enhanced the length and quality of life of patients suffering from life-threatening organ failure. Donors deceased after brain death (DBDDs) have been a primary source of organs for transplantation for a long time, but the need to find new strategies to face organ shortages has led to the broadening of the criteria for selecting DBDDs and advancing utilization of donors deceased after circulatory death. These new sources of organs come with an elevated risk of procuring organs of suboptimal quality. Whatever the source of organs for transplant, one constant issue is the occurrence of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The latter results from the variation of oxygen supply during the sequence of ischemia and reperfusion, from organ procurement to the restoration of blood circulation, triggering many deleterious interdependent processes involving biochemical, immune, vascular and coagulation systems. In this review, we focus on the roles of thrombo-inflammation and coagulation as part of IR injury, and we give an overview of the state of the art and perspectives on anticoagulant therapies in the field of transplantation, discussing benefits and risks and proposing a strategic guide to their use during transplantation procedures.

Abstract
Liver transplantation (LT) stands as the gold standard for treating end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, yet postoperative complications continue to impact survival rates. The liver's unique immune system, governed by a microenvironment of diverse immune cells, is disrupted during processes like ischemia-reperfusion injury posttransplantation, leading to immune imbalance, inflammation, and subsequent complications. In the posttransplantation period, immune cells within the liver collaboratively foster a tolerant environment, crucial for immune tolerance and liver regeneration. While clinical trials exploring cell therapy for LT complications exist, a comprehensive summary is lacking. This review provides an insight into the intricacies of the liver's immune microenvironment, with a specific focus on macrophages and T cells as primary immune players. Delving into the immunological dynamics at different stages of LT, we explore the disruptions after LT and subsequent immune responses. Focusing on immune cell targeting for treating liver transplant complications, we provide a comprehensive summary of ongoing clinical trials in this domain, especially cell therapies. Furthermore, we offer innovative treatment strategies that leverage the opportunities and prospects identified in the therapeutic landscape. This review seeks to advance our understanding of LT immunology and steer the development of precise therapies for postoperative complications.

Abstract
Neutrophils display heterogeneity and plasticity with different subgroups and immune-regulatory functions under various surrounding conditions. Neutrophils induced by IL-23/IL-18 (referred to N(IL-23+IL-18) neutrophils) have a unique gene-expression profile, with highly expressing IL-17, MHC-II, and costimulatory molecules. The adoptive transfer of N(IL-23+IL-18) neutrophils significantly increased the pathogenesis in a renal ischemia-reperfusion injury mouse model. N(IL-23+IL-18) neutrophils directly and efficiently induced allogeneic T cell proliferation in vitro. N(IL-23+IL-18) neutrophils enhanced the syngeneic T cell response to allogeneic antigens in mixed-lymphocyte reaction assays. The adoptive transfer of the donor or host N(IL-23+IL-18) neutrophils significantly enhanced the antidonor antibody production in an allogeneic-skin-transplanted mouse model, accompanied by increased Tfh cells in the spleens. Therefore, the neutrophil subset induced by IL-23/IL-18 promotes tissue injury and antidonor humoral response in the allogeneic transplantation mouse model.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable event during heart transplantation, which is known to exacerbate damage to the allograft. However, the precise mechanisms underlying IRI remain incompletely understood. Here, we profiled the whole transcriptome of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) by RNA sequencing from 41 heart transplant recipients immediately before and at 12 h after transplant reperfusion. We found that the expression of 1317 protein-coding genes in plasma EVs was changed at 12 h after reperfusion. Upregulated genes of plasma EVs were related to metabolism and immune activation, while downregulated genes were related to cell survival and extracellular matrix organization. In addition, we performed correlation analyses between EV transcriptome and intensity of graft IRI (i.e., cardiomyocyte injury), as well as EV transcriptome and primary graft dysfunction, as well as any biopsy-proven acute rejection after heart transplantation. We ultimately revealed that at 12 h after reperfusion, 4 plasma EV genes (ITPKA, DDIT4L, CD19, and CYP4A11) correlated with both cardiomyocyte injury and primary graft dysfunction, suggesting that EVs are sensitive indicators of reperfusion injury reflecting lipid metabolism-induced stress and imbalance in calcium homeostasis. In conclusion, we show that profiling plasma EV gene expression may enlighten the mechanisms of heart transplant IRI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lung transplant warm ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) results in cellular injury, inflammation, and poor graft function. Mitsugumin 53 (MG53) is an endogenous protein with cell membrane repair properties and the ability to modulate the inflammasome. We hypothesize that the absence of circulating MG53 protein in the recipient increases IRI, and higher levels of circulating MG53 protein mitigate IRI associated with lung transplantation. METHODS To demonstrate protection, wild-type (wt) lung donor allografts were transplanted into a wt background, a MG53 knockout (mg53-/-), or a constitutively overexpressed MG53 (tissue plasminogen activator-MG53) recipient mouse after 1 hour of warm ischemic injury. Mice survived for 5 days after transplantation. Bronchioalveolar lavage, serum, and tissue were collected at sacrifice. Bronchioalveolar lavage, serum, and tissue markers of apoptosis and a biometric profile of lung health were analyzed. RESULTS mg53-/- mice had significantly greater levels of markers of overall cell lysis and endothelial cell injury. Overexpression of MG53 resulted in a signature similar to that of wt controls. At the time of explant, tissue plasminogen activator-MG53 recipient tissue expressed significantly greater levels of MG53, measured by immunohistochemistry, compared with mg53-/-, demonstrating uptake of endogenous overexpressed MG53 into donor tissue. CONCLUSIONS In a warm IRI model of lung transplantation, the absence of MG53 resulted in increased cell injury and inflammation. Endogenous overexpression of MG53 in the recipient results in protection in the wt donor. Together, these data suggest that MG53 is a potential therapeutic agent for use in lung transplantation to mitigate IRI.

Abstract
(1) Background: Increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) has been linked to several inflammatory conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the relationship between IBD and MI remains unclear. Here, we implemented an original mouse model combining IBD and MI to determine IBD's impact on MI severity and the link between the two diseases. (2) Methods: An IBD model was established by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) administration in drinking water, alone or with oral C. albicans (Ca) gavage. IBD severity was assessed by clinical/histological scores and intestinal/systemic inflammatory biomarker measurement. Mice were subjected to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR), and MI severity was assessed by quantifying infarct size (IS) and serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels. (3) Results: IBD mice exhibited elevated fecal lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) and IL-6 levels. DSS mice exhibited almost two-fold increase in IS compared to controls, with serum cTnI levels strongly correlated with IS. Ca inoculation tended to worsen DSS-induced systemic inflammation and IR injury, an observation which is not statistically significant. (4) Conclusions: This is the first proof-of-concept study demonstrating the impact of IBD on MI severity and suggesting mechanistic aspects involved in the IBD-MI connection. Our findings could pave the way for MI therapeutic approaches based on identified IBD-induced inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
Transplanted organs are subjected to harmful conditions through stopping blood flow, hypothermic storage of the graft, and subsequent reperfusion. In particular, kidneys donated from patients after cardiac arrest (DCD) are classified as more vulnerable to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Hypothermic machine perfusion is proposed as a solution for better kidney storage before transplantation, and it is a good platform for additional graft treatment. Antioxidants have gained interest in regenerative medicine due to their ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play a key role in IRI. We evaluated the effect of Mitoquinone (MitoQ), a strong mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, administered directly to the perfusing buffer. Rat kidneys were isolated, randomly classified into one of the following groups, donation after brainstem death (DBD), DCD, and DCD with MitoQ, and perfused for 22 hours with a hypothermic machine perfusion system. Subsequently, we detected levels of kidney injury (KIM-1) and oxidative stress (ROS/RNS, cytochrome C oxidase, and mitochondrial integrity) markers. We compared the activation of the apoptosis pathway (caspase 3 and 9), the concentration of phosphorylated Akt (pAkt), and the pAkt/total Akt ratio. MitoQ reduces KIM-1 concentration, total ROS/RNS, and the level of caspases. We observed a decrease in pAkt and the pAkt/total Akt ratio after drug administration. The length of warm ischemia time negatively impacts the graft condition. However, MitoQ added to the perfusing system as an 'on pump' therapy mitigates injury to the kidney before transplantation by inhibiting apoptosis and reducing ROS/RNS levels. We propose MitoQ as a potential drug for DCD graft preconditioning.

Abstract
Controlled reperfusion by monitoring the blood pressure, blood flow, and specific blood parameters during extracorporeal reperfusion after cardiac arrest has the potential to limit ischemia-reperfusion injury. The intracellular calcium overload as part of the ischemia-reperfusion injury provides the possibility for the injury to be counteracted by the early suppression of serum calcium with the aim of improving survival and the neurological outcome. We investigated the effects of prolonged serum calcium suppression via sodium citrate during extracorporeal resuscitation using the CARL protocol (CARL-controlled automated reperfusion of the whole body) compared to a single-dose approach in a porcine model after prolonged cardiac arrest. A control group (N = 10) was resuscitated after a 20 min cardiac arrest, initially lowering the intravascular calcium with the help of a single dose of sodium citrate as part of the priming solution. Animals in the intervention group (N = 13) received additional sodium citrate for the first 15 min of reperfusion. In the control group, 9/10 (90.0%) animals survived until day 7 and 7/13 (53.8%) survived in the intervention group (p = 0.09). A favorable neurological outcome on day 7 after the cardiac arrest was observed in all the surviving animals using a species-specific neurological deficit score. The coronary perfusion pressure was significantly lower with a tendency towards more cardiac arrhythmias in the intervention group. In conclusion, a prolonged reduction in serum calcium levels over the first 15 min of reperfusion after prolonged cardiac arrest tended to be unfavorable regarding survival and hemodynamic variables compared to a single-dose approach in this animal model.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common phenomenon that develops both from natural causes and during major operations. Many intracellular processes mediated by calcium ions are involved in the development of IRI. Currently, chemical calcium channel blockers are used but they have a number of limitations. In this article, we study the effect of the omega-hexatoxin-Hv1a peptide toxin, an alternative to chemical calcium channel blockers, on the mechanisms of IRI development in epithelial cell culture. The toxin was produced using solid phase peptide synthesis. IRI was caused by deprivation of glucose, serum and oxygen. The data obtained demonstrate that the omega-hexatoxin-Hv1a toxin in nanomolar concentrations is able to prevent the development of apoptosis and necrosis in epithelial cells by reducing the concentration of calcium, sodium and potassium ions, as well as by delaying rapid normalization of the pH level, affecting the mitochondrial potential and oxidative stress. This toxin can be used as an alternative to chemical calcium channel blockers for preventing tissue and organ IRI due to its low-dose requirement and high bioavailability.

Abstract
Organ transplantation remains the only treatment option for patients with end-stage organ dysfunction. However, there are numerous limitations that challenge its clinical application, including the shortage of organ donations, the quality of donated organs, injury during organ preservation and reperfusion, primary and chronic graft dysfunction, acute and chronic rejection, infection, and carcinogenesis in post-transplantation patients. Acute and chronic inflammation and cell death are two major underlying mechanisms for graft injury. Necroptosis is a type of programmed cell death involved in many diseases and has been studied in the setting of all major solid organ transplants, including the kidney, heart, liver, and lung. It is determined by the underlying donor organ conditions (e.g., age, alcohol consumption, fatty liver, hemorrhage shock, donation after circulatory death, etc.), preservation conditions and reperfusion, and allograft rejection. The specific molecular mechanisms of necroptosis have been uncovered in the organ transplantation setting, and potential targeting drugs have been identified. We hope this review article will promote more clinical research to determine the role of necroptosis and other types of programmed cell death in solid organ transplantation to alleviate the clinical burden of ischemia-reperfusion injury and graft rejection.

Abstract
Objectives Ischemia-reperfusion injury often coincides with a cytokine storm, which can result in primary graft dysfunction following lung transplantation. Our previous research has demonstrated allograft improvement by cytokine adsorption during ex vivo lung perfusion. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of in vivo extracorporeal cytokine adsorption in a large animal model. Materials and Methods Pig left lung transplantation was performed following 24 hours of cold ischemic storage. Observation period after transplantation was 24 hours. In the treatment group (n = 6), extracorporeal CytoSorb adsorption was started 30 minutes before reperfusion and continued for 6 hours. A control group (n = 3) did not receive adsorber treatment. Results During adsorption, we consistently noticed a significant decrease in plasma proinflammatory interleukin (IL)-2, trends of less proinflammatory, tumor necrosis factor- α, IL-1α, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor as well as significantly reduced systemic neutrophils. In addition, a significantly lower peak airway pressure was detected during the 6 hours of adsorption. After 24 hours of observation, when evaluating the left lung allograft independently, we observed significantly improved CO2 removal, partial pressure of oxygen/inspired oxygen fraction ratio, and less acidosis in the treatment group. At autopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage results exhibited significantly lower recruitment of cells and less pro-inflammatory IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 in the treatment group. Histologically, the treatment group had a strong trend, indicating less neutrophil invasion into the alveolar space. Conclusions Based on our findings, cytokine adsorption during and after reperfusion is a viable approach to reducing posttransplant inflammation following lung transplantation. CytoSorb may increase the acceptance of extended criteria donor lungs, which are more susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the cellular-level adverse effects of tourniquet use on the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Infrapatellar fat pad samples were collected in a prospective, randomized design to compare 2 groups of primary TKA patients with a tourniquet (T) and without a tourniquet (NT). The study included 80 knees of 58 patients with a mean age of 65.91 ± 9.04 years. The authors collected 3 samples from the T group (after exposure to the fat pad "t1," just before deflating the tourniquet "t2," just before fascia closure "t3") and 2 samples from the NT group (t1 and t3) for each patient. BAX, Bcl-2, and HIF-1α staining showed the extent of cellular hypoxia and apoptosis in IPFP cells, whereas the oxidative stress index (OSI) was determined using a biochemical method. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Knee Society Score (KSS), and Kujala score were used as clinical outcome measures. RESULTS The mean HIF-1α, BAX/Bcl-2, and OSI scores across all time points were significantly higher in the T group than in the NT group (p<0.001) (d=1.16, 2.9, and 0.9, respectively). The mean BAX/Bcl-2 (P=.030) and HIF-1α (P < .001) scores significantly peaked at t2 in the T group (d=-1.2 and -3.9, respectively). The OSI had higher levels at t1 (P=.011) and t3 (P=.073) (d=0.2 and 0.1, respectively) than at t2 in the T group. The third-month postoperative follow-up revealed that the mean KOOS, KSS, and Kujala score improved significantly compared to the baseline preoperative values (P < .001); however, there was no difference between the T and NT groups regarding the maximum and total knee range of motion or clinical outcome scores. CONCLUSION Evidence from this study has shown that tourniquet use during primary TKA may be associated with significantly increased cellular hypoxia, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in the IPFP. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, Therapeutic study.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as a promising field of research in liver disease. EVs are small, membrane-bound vesicles that contain various bioactive molecules, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids and are involved in intercellular communication. They have been implicated in numerous physiological and pathological processes, including immune modulation and tissue repair, which make their use appealing in liver transplantation (LT). This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the role of EVs in LT, including their potential use as biomarkers and therapeutic agents and their role in graft rejection. By providing a comprehensive insight into this emerging topic, this research lays the groundwork for the potential application of EVs in LT.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is the most common type of cerebrovascular disease with high disability and mortality rates, which severely burdens patients, their families, and society. At present, thrombolytic therapy is mainly used for the treatment of ischemic strokes. Even though it can achieve a good effect, thrombolytic recanalization can cause reperfusion injury. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a neuropeptide that plays a neuroprotective role in the process of ischemia-reperfusion injury. By combining with its specific receptors, CGRP can induce vasodilation of local cerebral ischemia by directly activating the cAMP-PKA pathway in vascular smooth muscle cells and by indirectly activating the NO-cGMP pathway in an endothelial cell-dependent manner,thus rapidly increasing ischemic local blood flow together with reperfusion. CGRP, as a key effector molecule of neurogenic inflammation, can reduce the activation of microglia, downregulates Th1 classical inflammation, and reduce the production of TNF-α, IL-2, and IFN-γ and the innate immune response of macrophages, leading to the reduction of inflammatory factors. CGRP can reduce the overexpression of the aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) protein and its mRNA in the cerebral ischemic junction, and play a role in reducing cerebral edema. CGRP can protect endothelial cells from angiotensin II by reducing the production of oxidants and protecting antioxidant defense. Furthermore, CGRP-upregulated eNOS can further induce VEGF expression, which then promotes the survival and angiogenesis of vascular endothelial cells. CGRP can also reduce apoptosis by promoting the expression of Bcl-2 and inhibiting the expression of caspase-3. These effects suggest that CGRP can reduce brain injury and repair damaged nerve function. In this review, we focused on the role of CGRP in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
We evaluated the in vivo effects of melatonin treatment on oxidative damage in the liver in an experimental model of ischemia-reperfusion. A total of 37 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, ischemia, ischemia + reperfusion, and ischemia + reperfusion + melatonin. Hepatic ischemia was maintained for 20 min, and the clamp was removed to initiate vascular reperfusion for 30 min. Melatonin (50 mg/kg body weight) was intraperitoneally administered. Fluidity was measured by polarization changes in 1-(4-trimethylammoniumphenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene-p-toluene sulfonate). After 20 min of ischemia, no significant changes were observed in cell and mitochondrial membrane fluidity levels, lipid peroxidation, and protein carbonylation. However, after 30 min of reperfusion, membrane fluidity decreased compared to controls. Increases in lipid and protein oxidation were also seen in hepatic homogenates of animals exposed to reperfusion. Melatonin injected 30 min before ischemia and reperfusion fully prevented membrane rigidity and both lipid and protein oxidation. Livers from ischemia-reperfusion showed histopathological alterations and positive labeling with antibodies to oxidized lipids and proteins. Melatonin reduced the severity of these morphological changes and protected against in vivo ischemia-reperfusion-induced toxicity in the liver. Therefore, melatonin might be a candidate for co-treatment for patients with hepatic vascular occlusion followed by reperfusion.

Abstract
Background Testicular torsion causes ischemic injury, and torsion causes reperfusion injury. Aim Evaluating the role of augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) in testicular ischemia and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Materials and Method(s) Seventy-eight (78) healthy Wistar albino male rats were randomly divided into four groups; control (C) (n = 6), sham (S) (n = 24), torsion (T) (n = 24), and torsion/detorsion (T/D) (n = 24). S, T, and T/D groups were divided into four subgroups (n = 6) as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hours. Blood, tissue ALR, and histology analyses were performed between groups and subgroups. Results The increase in plasma ALR values at the 3rd and 4th hours compared to the 1st hour in the T group were significant (P < 0.01, P < 0.001, respectively). In the T/D group, a significant increase was observed in plasma ALR values at the 3rd and 4th hours compared to the 1st hour (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, respectively). Plasma ALR values at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hours were higher in the T and T/D groups than in the C group (P < 0.001, P < 0.05, respectively). Plasma ALR values were higher in the T group at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hours than in the S group (P < 0.05). A significant increase was observed in tissue ALR at the 3rd and 4th hours than at the 1st hour in the T group (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, respectively). A significant increase was observed in tissue ALR at the 3rd and 4th hours than in the 1st hour in the T/D group (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, respectively). Discussion ALR in plasma and testicular tissue has a potential role in the early diagnosis of testicular torsion and in predicting the prognosis of T and T/D.

Abstract
Nutraceuticals are bioactive compounds present in foods, utilized to ameliorate health, prevent diseases, and support the proper functioning of the human body. They have gained attention due to their ability to hit multiple targets and act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and modulators of immune response and cell death. Therefore, nutraceuticals are being studied to prevent and treat liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). This study evaluated the effect of a nutraceutical solution formed by resveratrol, quercetin, omega-3 fatty acid, selenium, ginger, avocado, leucine, and niacin on liver IRI. IRI was performed with 60 min of ischemia and 4 h of reperfusion in male Wistar rats. Afterward, the animals were euthanized to study hepatocellular injury, cytokines, oxidative stress, gene expression of apoptosis-related genes, TNF-α and caspase-3 proteins, and histology. Our results show that the nutraceutical solution was able to decrease apoptosis and histologic injury. The suggested mechanisms of action are a reduction in gene expression and the caspase-3 protein and a reduction in the TNF-α protein in liver tissue. The nutraceutical solution was unable to decrease transaminases and cytokines. These findings suggest that the nutraceuticals used favored the protection of hepatocytes, and their combination represents a promising therapeutic proposal against liver IRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperoxia is common during liver transplantation (LT), without being supported by any guidelines. Recent studies have shown the potential deleterious effect of hyperoxia in similar models of ischemia-reperfusion. Hyperoxia after graft reperfusion during orthotopic LT could increase lactate levels and worsen patient outcomes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective and monocentric pilot study. All adult patients who underwent LT from 26 July 2013 to 26 December 2017 were considered for inclusion. Patients were classified into two groups according to oxygen levels before graft reperfusion: the hyperoxic group (PaO2 > 200 mmHg) and the nonhyperoxic group (PaO2 < 200 mmHg). The primary endpoint was arterial lactatemia 15 min after graft revascularization. Secondary endpoints included postoperative clinical outcomes and laboratory data. RESULTS A total of 222 liver transplant recipients were included. Arterial lactatemia after graft revascularization was significantly higher in the hyperoxic group (6.03 ± 4 mmol/L) than in the nonhyperoxic group (4.81 ± 2 mmol/L), p < 0.01. The postoperative hepatic cytolysis peak, duration of mechanical ventilation and duration of ileus were significantly increased in the hyperoxic group. CONCLUSIONS In the hyperoxic group, the arterial lactatemia, the hepatic cytolysis peak, the mechanical ventilation and the postoperative ileus were higher than in the nonhyperoxic group, suggesting that hyperoxia worsens short-term outcomes and could lead to increase ischemia-reperfusion injury after liver transplantation. A multicenter prospective study should be performed to confirm these results.

Abstract
In the United States, about one million people are seen to visit the operating theater for cardiac surgery annually. However, nearly half of these visits result in complications such as renal, neurological, and cardiac injury of varying degrees. Historically, many mechanisms and approaches have been explored in attempts to reduce injuries associated with cardiac surgery and percutaneous procedures. Devices such as cardioplegia, mechanical circulatory support, and other methods have shown promising results in managing and preventing life-threatening cardiac-surgery-related outcomes such as heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Comparably, cardioprotective devices such as TandemHeart, Impella family devices, and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) have also been proven to show significant cardioprotection through mechanical support. However, their use as interventional agents in the prevention of hemodynamic changes due to cardiac surgery or percutaneous interventions has been correlated with adverse effects. This can lead to a rebound increased risk of mortality in high-risk patients who undergo cardiac surgery. Further research is necessary to delineate and stratify patients into appropriate cardioprotective device groups. Furthermore, the use of one device over another in terms of efficacy remains controversial and further research is necessary to assess device potential in different settings. Clinical research is also needed regarding novel strategies and targets, such as transcutaneous vagus stimulation and supersaturated oxygen therapy, aimed at reducing mortality among high-risk cardiac surgery patients. This review explores the recent advances regarding the use of cardioprotective devices in patients undergoing percutaneous procedures and cardiac surgery.

Abstract
The increasing number of patients on the kidney transplant waiting list underlines the need to expand the donor pool and improve kidney graft utilization. By protecting kidney grafts adequately from the initial ischemic and subsequent reperfusion injury occurring during transplantation, both the number and quality of kidney grafts could be improved. The last few years have seen the emergence of many new technologies to abrogate ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, including dynamic organ preservation through machine perfusion and organ reconditioning therapies. Although machine perfusion is gradually making the transition to clinical practice, reconditioning therapies have not yet progressed from the experimental setting, pointing towards a translational gap. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the biological processes implicated in I/R injury and explore the strategies and interventions that are being proposed to either prevent I/R injury, treat its deleterious consequences, or support the reparative response of the kidney. Prospects to improve the clinical translation of these therapies are discussed with a particular focus on the need to address multiple aspects of I/R injury to achieve robust and long-lasting protective effects on the kidney graft.

Abstract
Efforts to decrease the deleterious effects of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) are ongoing. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using natural phytochemical compounds as alternative remedies in several diseases. Nerolidol is a natural product extracted from plants with floral odors and has been proven to be effective for the treatment of some conditions. We investigated the effect of nerolidol in a rat model of renal IRI. Nerolidol was dissolved in a vehicle and administered orally as single daily dose of 200 mg/kg for 5 days prior to IRI and continued for 3 days post IRI. G-Sham (n = 10) underwent sham surgery, whereas G-IRI (n = 10) and G-IRI/NR (n = 10) underwent bilateral warm renal ischemia for 30 min and received the vehicle/nerolidol, respectively. Renal functions and histological changes were assessed before starting the medication, just prior to IRI and 3 days after IRI. Nerolidol significantly attenuated the alterations in serum creatinine and urea, creatinine clearance, urinary albumin and the urinary albumin-creatinine ratio. Nerolidol also significantly attenuated the alterations in markers of kidney injury; proinflammatory, profibrotic and apoptotic cytokines; oxidative stress markers; and histological changes. We conclude that nerolidol has a renoprotective effect on IRI-induced renal dysfunction. These findings might have clinical implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a major problem in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We have developed a novel reperfusion strategy for PCI and named it "volume-controlled reperfusion (VCR)". The aim of the current study was to assess the safety and feasibility of VCR in patients with STEMI. METHODS Consecutive patients admitted to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital with STEMI were prospectively enrolled. The feasibility endpoint was procedural success. The safety endpoints included death from all causes, major vascular complications, and major adverse cardiac event (MACE), i.e., a composite of cardiac death, myocardial reinfarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR), and heart failure. RESULTS A total of 30 patients were finally included. Procedural success was achieved in 28 (93.3%) patients. No patients died during the study and no major vascular complications or MACE occurred during hospitalization. With the exception of one patient (3.3%) who underwent TVR three months after discharge, no patient encountered death (0.0%), major vascular complications (0.0%), or and other MACEs (0.0%) during the median follow-up of 16 months. CONCLUSION The findings of the pilot study suggest that VCR has favorable feasibility and safety in patients with STEMI. Further larger randomized trials are required to evaluate the effectiveness of VCR in STEMI patients.

Abstract
Coronary reperfusion therapy has played a pivotal role for reducing mortality and heart failure after acute myocardial infarction. Although several adjunctive approaches have been studied for reducing infarct size further, both ischemia-reperfusion injury and microvascular obstruction are still major contributors to both early and late clinical events after acute myocardial infarction. The progress in the field of cardioprotection has found several promising proof-of-concept preclinical studies. However, translation from bench to bedside has not been very successful. This comprehensive review discusses the importance of infarct size as a driver of clinical outcomes post-acute myocardial infarction and summarizes recent novel device-based approaches for infarct size reduction. Device-based interventions including mechanical cardiac unloading, myocardial cooling, coronary sinus interventions, supersaturated oxygen therapy, and vagal stimulation are discussed. Many of these approaches can modify ischemic myocardial biology before reperfusion and offer unique opportunities to target ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
A porcine model was used to investigate the feasibility of using VIS-NIR spectroscopy to differentiate between degrees of ischemia-reperfusion injury in the small intestine. Ten pigs were used in this study and four segments were created in the small intestine of each pig: (1) control, (2) full arterial and venous mesenteric occlusion for 8 h, (3) arterial and venous mesenteric occlusion for 2 h followed by reperfusion for 6 h, and (4) arterial and venous mesenteric occlusion for 4 h followed by reperfusion for 4 h. Two models were built using partial least square discriminant analysis. The first model was able to differentiate between the control, ischemic, and reperfused intestinal segments with an average accuracy of 99.2% with 10-fold cross-validation, and the second model was able to discriminate between the viable versus non-viable intestinal segments with an average accuracy of 96.0% using 10-fold cross-validation. Moreover, histopathology was used to investigate the borderline between viable and non-viable intestinal segments. The VIS-NIR spectroscopy method together with a PLS-DA model showed promising results and appears to be well-suited as a potentially real-time intraoperative method for assessing intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, due to its easy-to-use and non-invasive nature.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a type of pathological injury that commonly arises in various diseases. Various forms of immune response are involved in the process of I/R injury. As a member of the B7 costimulatory molecule family, programmed death 1-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an important target for immune regulation. Therefore, PD-L1 may be implicated in the regulation of I/R injury. This review briefly describes the immune response during I/R injury and how PD-L1 is involved in its regulation by focusing on findings from various I/R models. Despite the limited number of studies in this field of research, PD-L1 has shown sufficient potential as a clinical therapeutic target.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a common pathological phenomenon that occurs in numerous organs and diseases. It generally results from secondary damage caused by the recovery of blood flow and reoxygenation, followed by ischemia of organ tissues, which is often accompanied by severe cellular damage and death. Currently, effective treatments for I/R injury (IRI) are limited. Ferroptosis, a new type of regulated cell death (RCD), is characterized by iron overload and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Mounting evidence has indicated a close relationship between ferroptosis and IRI. Ferroptosis plays a significantly detrimental role in the progression of IRI, and targeting ferroptosis may be a promising approach for treatment of IRI. Considering the substantial progress made in the study of ferroptosis in IRI, in this review, we summarize the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic targets of ferroptosis in IRI.

Abstract
Machine perfusion is an emerging technology in the field of liver transplantation. While machine perfusion has now been implemented in clinical routine throughout transplant centers around the world, a debate has arisen regarding its concurrent effect on the complex hepatic immune system during perfusion. Currently, our understanding of the perfusion-elicited processes involving innate immune cells remains incomplete. Hepatic macrophages (Kupffer cells) represent a special subset of hepatic immune cells with a dual pro-inflammatory, as well as a pro-resolving and anti-inflammatory, role in the sequence of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current data regarding the immunomodulatory role of machine perfusion and to emphasize the importance of macrophages for hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent after liver transplantation (LT) and correlates with later development of chronic kidney disease. Its etiology is multifactorial and combines pre-, intra-, and postoperative factors. Additionally, the liver graft itself seems an important element in the development of AKI, yet the detailed mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that grafts of LT recipients developing significant early AKI may show distinct proteomic alterations, and we set out to identify proteome differences between LT recipients developing moderate or severe AKI (n = 7) and LT recipients without early renal injury (n = 7). Liver biopsies obtained one hour after reperfusion were assessed histologically and using quantitative proteomics. Several cytokines and serum amyloid A2 (SAA2) were analyzed in serum samples obtained preoperatively, 2−4 h, and 20−24 h after graft reperfusion, respectively. LT induced mild histological alterations without significant differences between groups but uniformly altered liver function tests peaking on postoperative day 1, with a trend towards more severe alterations in patients developing AKI. Global quantitative proteomic analysis revealed 136 proteins differing significantly in their expression levels (p < 0.05, FC 20%): 80 proteins had higher and 56 had lower levels in the AKI group. Most of these proteins were related to immune and inflammatory responses, host defense, and neutrophil degranulation. No differences between the studied pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines or SAA2 between groups were found at any moment. Our results suggest that grafts of LT patients who develop early AKI reveal a distinct proteome dominated by an early yet prominent activation of the innate immunity. These findings support the hypothesis that AKI after LT may be favored by certain graft characteristics.

Abstract
During ischemia−reperfusion injury (IRI), reactive oxygen species are produced that can be scavenged by free sulfhydryl groups (R-SH, free thiols). In this study, we hypothesized that R-SH levels decrease as a consequence of renal IRI and that R-SH levels reflect post-transplant graft function. Systemic venous, arterial, renal venous, and urinary samples were collected in donors and recipients before, during, and after transplantation. R-SH was measured colorimetrically. Systemic arterial R-SH levels in recipients increased significantly up to 30 sec after reperfusion (p < 0.001). In contrast, renal venous R-SH levels significantly decreased at 5 and 10 min compared to 30 sec after reperfusion (both p < 0.001). This resulted in a significant decrease in delta R-SH (defined as the difference between renal venous and systemic arterial R-SH levels) till 30 sec after reperfusion (p < 0.001), indicating a net decrease in R-SH levels across the transplanted kidney. Overall, these results suggest trans-renal oxidative stress as a consequence of IRI during kidney transplantation, reflected by systemic and renal changes in R-SH levels in transplant recipients.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests natriuretic peptides (NPs) coordinate interorgan metabolic crosstalk. We recently reported exogenous ANP treatment ameliorated systemic insulin resistance by inducing adipose tissue browning and attenuating hepatic steatosis in diet-induced obesity (DIO). We herein investigated whether ANP treatment also ameliorates myocardial insulin resistance, leading to cardioprotection during ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in DIO. Mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or normal-fat diet for 13 weeks were treated with or without ANP infusion subcutaneously for another 3 weeks. Left ventricular BNP expression was substantially reduced in HFD hearts. Intraperitoneal-insulin-administration-induced Akt phosphorylation was impaired in HFD hearts, which was restored by ANP treatment, suggesting that ANP treatment ameliorated myocardial insulin resistance. After ischemia-reperfusion using the Langendorff model, HFD impaired cardiac functional recovery with a corresponding increased infarct size. However, ANP treatment improved functional recovery and reduced injury while restoring impaired IRI-induced Akt phosphorylation in HFD hearts. Myocardial ultrastructural analyses showed increased peri-mitochondrial lipid droplets with concomitantly decreased ATGL and HSL phosphorylation levels in ANP-treated HFD, suggesting that ANP protects mitochondria from lipid overload by trapping lipids. Accordingly, ANP treatment attenuated mitochondria cristae disruption after IRI in HFD hearts. In summary, exogenous ANP treatment ameliorates myocardial insulin resistance and protects against IRI associated with mitochondrial ultrastructure modifications in DIO. Replenishing biologically active NPs substantially affects HFD hearts in which endogenous NP production is impaired.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in surgical procedures and immunosuppressive regimes, early pancreatic graft dysfunction, mainly specified as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-Remains a common cause of pancreas graft failure with potentially worse outcomes in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT). Anesthetic conditioning is a widely described strategy to attenuate IRI and facilitate graft protection. Here, we investigate the effects of different volatile anesthetics (VAs) on early IRI-associated posttransplant clinical outcomes as well as graft function and outcome in SPKT recipients. METHODS Medical data of 105 patients undergoing SPKT between 1998-2018 were retrospectively analyzed and stratified according to the used VAs. The primary study endpoint was the association and effect of VAs on pancreas allograft failure following SPKT; secondary endpoint analyses included "IRI- associated posttransplant clinical outcome" as well as long-term graft function and outcome. Additionally, peak serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipase during the first 72 h after SPKT were determined and used as further markers for "pancreatic IRI" and graft injury. Typical clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative outcomes such as early graft outcome and long-term function were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 105 included patients in this study three VAs were used: isoflurane (n = 58 patients; 55%), sevoflurane (n = 22 patients; 21%), and desflurane (n = 25 patients, 24%). Donor and recipient characteristics were comparable between both groups. Early graft loss within 3 months (24% versus 5% versus 8%, p = 0.04) as well as IRI-associated postoperative clinical complications (pancreatitis: 21% versus 5% versus 5%, p = 0.04; vascular thrombosis: 13% versus 0% versus 5%; p = 0.09) occurred more frequently in the Isoflurane group compared with the sevoflurane and desflurane groups. Anesthesia with sevoflurane resulted in the lowest serum peak levels of lipase and CRP during the first 3 days after transplantation, followed by desflurane and isoflurane (p = 0.039 and p = 0.001, respectively). There was no difference with regard to 10-year pancreas graft survival as well as endocrine/metabolic function among all three VA groups. Multivariate analysis revealed the choice of VAs as an independent prognostic factor for graft failure three months after SPKT (HR 0.38, 95%CI: 0.17-0.84; p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS In our study, sevoflurane and desflurane were associated with significantly increased early graft survival as well as decreased IRI-associated post-transplant clinical outcomes when compared with the isoflurane group and should be the focus of future clinical studies evaluating the positive effects of different VA agents in patients receiving SPKT.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) exhibits protective effects in cardiovascular disease such as myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, cardiac hypertrophy, and atherosclerosis. Despite these findings, its mechanism of action remains elusive. Recent studies suggest that H2S can modulate protein activity through redox-based post-translational modifications of protein cysteine residues forming hydropersulfides (RSSH). Furthermore, emerging evidence indicates that reactive sulfur species, including RSSH and polysulfides, exhibit cardioprotective action. However, it is not clear yet whether there are any pharmacological differences in the use of H2S vs. RSSH and/or polysulfides. This study aims to examine the differing cardioprotective effects of distinct reactive sulfur species (RSS) such as H2S, RSSH, and dialkyl trisulfides (RSSSR) compared with canonical ischemic post-conditioning in the context of a Langendorff ex-vivo myocardial I/R injury model. For the first time, a side-by-side study has revealed that exogenous RSSH donation is a superior approach to maintain post-ischemic function and limit infarct size when compared with other RSS and mechanical post-conditioning. Our results also suggest that RSSH preserves mitochondrial respiration in H9c2 cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation via inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation while preserving cell viability.

Abstract
Background Ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the major causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). tRNA derived fragments (tRFs/tiRNAs) are groups of small noncoding RNAs derived from tRNAs. To date, the role of tRFs/tiRNAs in renal IRI has not been reported. Herein, we aimed to investigate the involvement of tRFs/tiRNAs in the occurrence and development of ischemia–reperfusion-induced AKI. Methods Moderate/severe renal IRI mouse models were established by bilateral renal pedicle clamping. The tRF/tiRNA profiles of healthy controls and moderate/severe IRI-stressed kidney tissues were sequenced by Illumina NextSeq 500. Candidate differentially expressed tiRNAs were further verified by RT-qPCR. Biological analysis was also performed. Results Overall, 152 tRFs/tiRNAs were differentially expressed in the moderate ischemic injury group compared with the normal control group (FC > 2, p < 0.05), of which 47 were upregulated and 105 were downregulated; in the severe ischemic injury group, 285 tRFs/tiRNAs were differentially expressed (FC > 2, p < 0.05), of which 157 were upregulated, and 128 were downregulated. RT-qPCR determination of eight abundantly expressed tiRNAs was consistent with the sequencing results. Gene Ontology analysis for target genes of the tRFs/tiRNAs showed that the most enriched cell components, molecular functions and biological processes were Golgi apparatus, cytoplasmic vesicles, protein binding, cellular protein localization and multicellular organism development. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that these target genes were mainly involved in the natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity pathway, citrate cycle, and regulation of actin cytoskeleton signaling pathway. Conclusion Our results indicated that tRFs/tiRNAs were involved in renal IRI. These tRFs/tiRNAs may be effective partly via regulation of renal immunity, inflammation and metabolism processes. Candidate genes, including tiRNA-Gly-GCC-003, tiRNA-Lys-CTT-003, and tiRNA-His-GTG-002, might be potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets of ischemia–reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Despite careful preoperative planning, surgical flaps are prone to ischemic tissue damage and ischemia–reperfusion injury. The resulting wound breakdown and flap necrosis increase both treatment costs and patient morbidity. Hence, there is a need for strategies to promote flap survival and prevent ischemia-induced tissue damage. Phytochemicals, defined as non-essential, bioactive, and plant-derived molecules, are attractive candidates for perioperative treatment as they have little to no side effects and are well tolerated by most patients. Furthermore, they have been shown to exert beneficial combinations of pro-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects. This review provides an overview of bioactive phytochemicals that have been used to increase flap survival in preclinical animal models and discusses the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms.

Abstract
Kidney transplantation is a life-saving strategy for patients with end-stage renal diseases. Despite the advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive agents, the long-term graft survival remains a challenge. Growing evidence has shown that the complement system, part of the innate immune response, is involved in kidney transplantation. Novel insights highlighted the role of the locally produced and intracellular complement components in the development of inflammation and the alloreactive response in the kidney allograft. In the current review, we provide the updated understanding of the complement system in kidney transplantation. We will discuss the involvement of the different complement components in kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury, delayed graft function, allograft rejection, and chronic allograft injury. We will also introduce the existing and upcoming attempts to improve allograft outcomes in animal models and in the clinical setting by targeting the complement system.

Abstract
Recent knowledge concerning the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury provides new insight into their possible roles as specific biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have fewer than 200 nucleotides, while long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) have more than 200 nucleotides. The three types of ncRNAs (miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs) act as signaling molecules strongly involved in cardiovascular disorders (CVD). I/R injury of the heart is the main CVD correlated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cardiac surgery, and transplantation. The expression levels of many ncRNAs and miRNAs are highly modified in the plasma of MI patients, and thus they have the potential to diagnose and treat MI. Cardiomyocyte and endothelial cell death is the major trigger for myocardial ischemia–reperfusion syndrome (MIRS). The cardioprotective effect of inflammasome activation in MIRS and the therapeutics targeting the reparative response could prevent progressive post-infarction heart failure. Moreover, the pharmacological and genetic modulation of these ncRNAs has the therapeutic potential to improve clinical outcomes in AMI patients.

Abstract
Objectives: Early recanalization of large vessels in thromboembolism, such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, is associated with improved clinical outcomes. Nitric oxide (NO), a biological gas signaling molecule, has been proven to protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. This study investigated whether NO could mitigate IRI and the role of NO during acoustic cavitation. Methods: In vivo, thrombi in the iliac artery of rats were induced by 5% FeCl3. NO-loaded microbubbles (NO-MBs) and ultrasound (US) were used to treat thrombi. B-mode and Doppler US and histological analyses were utilized to evaluate the thrombolysis effect in rats with thrombi. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and western blotting were conducted to investigate the underlying mechanisms of NO during acoustic cavitation. In vitro, hypoxia was used to stimulate cells, and NO-MBs were employed to alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis. Results: We developed NO-MBs that significantly improve the circulation time of NO in vivo, are visible, and effectively release therapeutic gas under US. US-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) and NO-loaded UTMD (NO + UTMD) caused a significant decrease in the thrombus area and an increase in the recanalization rates and blood flow velocities compared to the control and US groups. We discovered that UTMD induced NO generation through activation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in vivo. More importantly, we also observed significantly increased NO content and eNOS expression in the NO + UTMD group compared to the UTMD group. NO + UTMD can mitigate oxidative stress and apoptosis in the hind limb muscle without influencing blood pressure or liver and kidney functions. In vitro, NO-MBs alleviated oxidative stress and apoptosis in cells pretreated with hypoxia. Conclusion: Based on these data, UTMD affects the vascular endothelium by activating eNOS, and NO exerts a protective effect against IRI.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation in RNA is a dynamic and reversible modification regulated by methyltransferases and demethylases, which has been reported to participate in many pathological processes of various diseases, including cardiac disorders. This study was designed to investigate an m6A writer Mettl14 on cardiac ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury and uncover the underlying mechanism. The m6A and Mettl14 protein levels were increased in I/R hearts and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes upon oxidative stress. Mettl14 knockout (Mettl14+/−) mice showed pronounced increases in cardiac infarct size and LDH release and aggravation in cardiac dysfunction post-I/R. Conversely, adenovirus-mediated overexpression of Mettl14 markedly reduced infarct size and apoptosis and improved cardiac function during I/R injury. Silencing of Mettl14 alone significantly caused a decrease in cell viability and an increase in LDH release and further exacerbated these effects in the presence of H2O2, while overexpression of Mettl14 ameliorated cardiomyocyte injury in vitro. Mettl14 resulted in enhanced levels of Wnt1 m6A modification and Wnt1 protein but not its transcript level. Furthermore, Mettl14 overexpression blocked I/R-induced downregulation of Wnt1 and β-catenin proteins, whereas Mettl14+/− hearts exhibited the opposite results. Knockdown of Wnt1 abrogated Mettl14-mediated upregulation of β-catenin and protection against injury upon H2O2. Our study demonstrates that Mettl14 attenuates cardiac I/R injury by activating Wnt/β-catenin in an m6A-dependent manner, providing a novel therapeutic target for ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Curculigoside has been shown to decrease oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions in many disorders, but its effects during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remain unknown. This research aims to determine the protective role and the potential mechanism of action of curculigoside in hepatic IRI. Here, a well-established rat model of partial warm IRI was constructed; serum ALT/AST and H&E staining were employed to assay the extent of liver injury; the superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, IL-6, and TNF-α contents were determined using the corresponding kits; the apoptosis index was evaluated by TUNEL staining; and the expression of Nrf-2, HO-1, and apoptosis-associated proteins was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The results showed that curculigoside pretreatment effectively mitigated hepatic IRI, as demonstrated by decreases in the levels of serum aminotransferases, hepatocellular necrosis and apoptosis, oxidative stress markers, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. Mechanistically, the expression of Nrf-2 and HO-1 was greatly suppressed by hepatic IRI and reactivated by curculigoside. Furthermore, cotreatment with ML-385, an inhibitor of Nrf-2, counteracted the protective effect of curculigoside against hepatic IRI. The results of our study show that curculigoside plays a protective role in hepatic IRI by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis and that its effects may be associated with activation of the Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway.

Abstract
AKI, due to the fact of altered oxygen supply after kidney transplantation, is characterized by renal ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). Recent data suggest that AKI to CKD progression may be driven by cellular senescence evolving from prolonged DNA damage response (DDR) following oxidative stress. Cellular communication factor 2 (CCN2, formerly called CTGF) is a major contributor to CKD development and was found to aggravate DNA damage and the subsequent DDR–cellular senescence–fibrosis sequence following renal IRI. We therefore investigated the impact of CCN2 inhibition on oxidative stress and DDR in vivo and in vitro. Four hours after reperfusion, full transcriptome RNA sequencing of mouse IRI kidneys revealed CCN2-dependent enrichment of several signaling pathways, reflecting a different immediate stress response to IRI. Furthermore, decreased staining for γH2AX and p-p53 indicated reduced DNA damage and DDR in tubular epithelial cells of CCN2 knockout (KO) mice. Three days after IRI, DNA damage and DDR were still reduced in CCN2 KO, and this was associated with reduced oxidative stress, marked by lower lipid peroxidation, protein nitrosylation, and kidney expression levels of Nrf2 target genes (i.e., HMOX1 and NQO1). Finally, silencing of CCN2 alleviated DDR and lipid peroxidation induced by anoxia-reoxygenation injury in cultured PTECs. Together, our observations suggest that CCN2 inhibition might mitigate AKI by reducing oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and the subsequent DDR. Thus, targeting CCN2 might help to limit post-IRI AKI.

Abstract
Ameliorating graft injury induced by ischemia and hypoxia, expanding the donor pool, and improving graft quality and recipient prognosis are still goals pursued by the transplant community. The preservation of organs during this process from donor to recipient is critical to the prognosis of both the graft and the recipient. At present, static cold storage, which is most widely used in clinical practice, not only reduces cell metabolism and oxygen demand through low temperature but also prevents cell edema and resists apoptosis through the application of traditional preservation solutions, but these do not improve hypoxia and increase oxygenation of the donor organ. In recent years, improving the ischemia and hypoxia of grafts during preservation and repairing the quality of marginal donor organs have been of great concern. Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) are “made of” natural hemoglobins that were originally developed as blood substitutes but have been extended to a variety of hypoxic clinical situations due to their ability to release oxygen. Compared with traditional preservation protocols, the addition of HBOCs to traditional preservation protocols provides more oxygen to organs to meet their energy metabolic needs, prolong preservation time, reduce ischemia–reperfusion injury to grafts, improve graft quality, and even increase the number of transplantable donors. The focus of the present study was to review the potential applications of HBOCs in solid organ preservation and provide new approaches to understanding the mechanism of the promising strategies for organ preservation.

Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate lung injury due to oxidative stress and antioxidant activity levels in an infrarenal ischemia-reperfusion model and to compare prevention effects of single and combined use of propofol and remifentanil. In this study, a total of 40 adult Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into five groups of eight rats as SHAM, physiological saline, intraperitoneal propofol, remifentanil, and propofol and remifentanil groups. Blood and tissue samples were obtained after 80 min of reperfusion. The malondialdehyde (MDA) level, a measure of lipid peroxidation, was measured in lung tissue samples and red blood cells; additionally, total oxidant status and total antioxidant capacity of lung tissues were measured and histopathological examination was performed. Distant organ (lung) injury developed due to lower extremity ischemia-reperfusion was created by infrarenal aortic clamping. The lipid peroxidation product MDA and total oxidant levels were increased, but there was insufficient antioxidant protection both in the lung tissues and red blood cells. While propofol prevented this injury consistent with its proposed antioxidant properties; no protective effect of remifentanil was observed. On the contrary, it showed oxidative stress increasing effect. This study concluded that the antioxidant effect of propofol was suppressed by remifentanil in the case of combined use.

Abstract
Nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that controls cellular defense responses against toxic and oxidative stress by modulating the expression of genes involved in antioxidant response and drug detoxification. In addition to maintaining redox homeostasis, Nrf2 is also involved in various cellular processes including metabolism and inflammation. Nrf2 activity is tightly regulated at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional and post-translational levels, which allows cells to quickly respond to pathological stress. In the present review, we describe the molecular mechanisms underlying the transcriptional regulation of Nrf2. We also focus on the impact of Nrf2 in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, a condition that stimulates the overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Finally, we analyze the protective effect of several natural and synthetic compounds that induce Nrf2 activation and protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury in the heart and other organs, and their potential clinical application.
