FK-506 binding protein (FKBP5) is a critical regulator of the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis and has been implicated in postoperative cognitive dysfunction. However, how inhalation anesthetics affect the expression and function of FKBP5 in the brain is unclear. We employed single-nucleus RNA sequencing to delineate the hippocampal transcriptomic profiles of the brains of aged marmosets and mice after sevoflurane anesthesia. The results of single-nucleus RNA sequencing revealed that long-term exposure (6 hours) to sevoflurane significantly increased FKBP5 expression in the hippocampus of aged marmosets and mice, especially in microglia. Western blot assay also verified the above results. The Barnes maze test showed that, compared with heterozygous control mice, microglia-specific FKBP5 conditional knockout mice exhibited improved neurocognitive function after sevoflurane/surgery. Transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed on the brains of microglia-specific FKBP5 conditional knockout mice and heterozygous mice after sevoflurane/surgery and further revealed that FKBP5 was related mainly to inflammatory signaling pathways. Therefore, these findings indicate that long-term exposure to sevoflurane increases FKBP5 expression in the hippocampus of aged marmosets and mice, which thereby affects inflammatory signaling pathways and leads to postoperative cognitive dysfunction.</p>","PeriodicalId":18559,"journal":{"name":"Medical Gas Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144018678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because ozone is a stimulator of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide pathway, ozone therapy has been widely demonstrated to have the ability to counteract endothelial-cardiac disorders, providing a novel straightforward opportunity to reduce the impact of CVDs, including atrial fibrillation. In this review, we attempt to establish a state-of-the-art method for the use of ozone in CVD, suggesting that future remarks be addressed to provide fundamental insights into this issue.

The main critical function of the shoulder cuff muscles is to effectively facilitate shoulder movement and securely maintain the humeral head in the precise center of the joint cavity to prevent superior migration during abduction processes. Shoulder cuff injuries typically involve the muscle-tendon-bone interface, but existing repair techniques do not always guarantee complete and secure healing, leading to retears. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as an auxiliary treatment, can significantly promote the muscle-tendon-bone healing process. To explore the impact of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the bone-tendon interface healing process in a rabbit model specifically designed for shoulder cuff tears, an experiment was conducted on New Zealand white rabbits by performing a full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon in the left shoulder, followed by 2 hours per day of 100% oxygen treatment at 2 absolute atmospheres for 5 days. The results indicate that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly enhances vascularization at the interface between the shoulder cuff and tendon-bone, promotes collagen fiber regeneration in the tendon, improves the tensile strength of the tendon-bone complex, and does not have a significant effect on biomechanical stability. This suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a significant positive impact on the histological and biomechanical healing of shoulder cuff tears in rabbits, expediting the healing process of the tendon-bone interface.</p>","PeriodicalId":18559,"journal":{"name":"Medical Gas Research","volume":" ","pages":"164-170"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11515062/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142109351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
