Filter by:In this study, we are trying to see if vitamin B6 can minimize the amplified blood pressure response to exercise following ischemia-reperfusion injury. We are interested in a protein called P2X3, of which function can be blocked by vitamin B6, in the neurons of our nervous system. It is very important for blood pressure regulation. We would like to see if the P2X3 plays a role in patients' rising blood pressure during exercise. The results of the proposed studies will provide a base for those two potential economic and non-invasive inventions to improve the overall health and well-being of PAD patients.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose, Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BX-001N after intravenous administration in approximately 64 healthy participants
At the moment, the invasive strategy for the infarct-associated coronary artery in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) necessary to save the myocardium and reduce the size of the necrosis zone remains the leading one. However, despite the high efficiency of providing medical care to patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), there remains a high mortality and disability of this group of patients. In this regard, the search for new drug and non-drug strategies for the treatment of patients with ACS is actively continuing. Over the past decade, it has been shown that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (TENS) has a cardioprotective effect both in chronic heart failure and in coronary heart disease, improves cardiac function, prevents reperfusion injury, weakens myocardial remodeling, increases the effectiveness of defibrillation and reduces the size of a heart attack. One of the methods of noninvasive stimulation of the afferent fibers of the vagus nerve is percutaneous electrical stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. However, further studies are needed to determine whether stimulation of the tragus can improve the long-term clinical outcome in this cohort of patients.
About 200000 cardiac operations are performed in China every year. Cardiopulmonary bypass is the basic strategy of open-heart surgery, which may lead to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and low cardiac output syndrome. It will inevitably affect the patient's postoperative recovery. A number of studies have shown that dexmedetomidine, as an auxiliary sedative, has the effects of inhibiting stress response, antiarrhythmia and cardiac protection.Dexmedetomidine has been widely used in anesthesia in cardiac surgery. However, at present, few clinical studies pay attention to its mechanism. In this study, dexmedetomidine will be used in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass to explore the mechanism of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury and the protective effect of dexmedetomidine.
The study is a two-center prospective cohort clinical trial. The primary purpose of this trial is to identify the pattern of DKK2 serum levels in ischemic stroke patients after revascularization therapy and determine the correlation between serum DKK2 levels and prognosis.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of this bubble and surface oxygenation and to determine the optimal timing of surface oxygenation (continuous versus intermittent) as alternative for membrane-oxygenated kidneys, originating from DCD donors, during HMP on early graft function in clinical practice.
Ischemia and reperfusion injury during free flap reconstructive surgery creates a state of increased oxidative stress that can adversely affect the flap outcomes. Ascorbic acid (AA) had been proven to have beneficial effect on end-organ protection and flap survival from ischemia-reperfusion injury via its antioxidant properties. The investigators hypothesise that perioperative parenteral ascorbic acid treatment may reduce oxidative stress among participants undergoing free flap reconstructive surgery along with reduction in inflammatory markers, improved rate of flap viability and wound healing at both donor and recipient sites.
A first-in-human single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, with primary objective to evaluate safety and tolerability of ex-vivo kidney allograft treatment with TUM012 to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury in de novo kidney transplant recipients.
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has remained a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Although percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCA) is the best treatment for these patients, paradoxically this procedure causes reperfusion injury. Considerable efforts aimed to reduce this damage have been made, but the results are disappointing and there is still no effective therapy for preventing the damage. Previously, the investigators have achieved a reduction of infarct size in an experimental model of an isolated rat heart, through a synergistic effect of three compounds in a "combined antioxidant therapy" (CAT). In this study, the investigators aim to describe the pharmacokinetics and safety of CAT intravenously administered to healthy subjects. This is the first step to a later clinical application of CAT in AMI patients. Methodology: The safety and pharmacokinetics of the CAT (deferoxamine, N-acetylcysteine, and ascorbate) will be assessed in healthy volunteers in a "phase I clinical trial". Two different formulations (mass of CAT components by bag) with different infusion rates each one will be tested (CAT1 and CAT2). Subjects (18-35 years old, n=18) will be randomized 1:2 to receive a placebo or CAT for 90 minutes. Blood concentrations of each CAT component will be measured in plasma at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 minutes after the infusion onset. Adverse events will be registered from the onset of infusion until day 30.
The study is intended to test the hypothesis that sodium lactate infusion after resuscitation from a cardiac arrest will decrease the magnitude of brain damage, as measured by the serum biomarker concentration of NSE.
