Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe nephropathy syndromes in clinical practice and also one of the most common serious complications after organ transplantation, with high incidence and fatality. Iron is an essential trace element in the body. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death induced by the accumulation of iron-mediated lipid peroxidation, and its occurrence is closely related to iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and multiple signaling pathways. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis plays a key role in the occurrence and development of AKI and provides therapeutic targets for AKI. This article summarizes the regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis and its role in AKI, as well as the compounds that play an important role in the prevention and treatment of AKI by inhibiting ferroptosis, providing new ideas for the future treatment and research of AKI.

Objective To explore the effects of preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)on early postoperative recurrence in the China liver cancer(CNLC)staging Ⅰb-Ⅱa patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The data of patients with CNLC Ⅰb-Ⅱa stage hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent curative liver resection in Xiangyang Central Hospital from May 2017 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 76 patients were included,patients were divided into preoperative TACE group(n=32)and surgery group(n=44)according to whether they underwent preoperative TACE.Observe the postoperative recovery of patients.Combined with the postoperative pathological results,adjuvant TACE treatment is performed.Regular reexamination and follow-up are conducted after discharge.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival time,calculate 95％CI,and plot the Disease-free(DFS)survival curve.The Cox proportional risk model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis.Results The 1-year disease-free survival rate in the preoperative TACE group was higher than that in the direct surgery group(96.9％vs.84.1％,P＞0.05).The 2-year disease-free survival rate in the preoperative TACE group was higher than that in the direct surgery group(90.6％vs.70.5％,P＜0.05).The disease-free survival of the preoperative TACE group was higher than the direct surgery group(23.03 months vs.20.14 months,P＜0.05).The incidence of treatment-related adverse events after surgery in the preoperative TACE group was higher than that in the direct surgery group(34.4％vs.20.5％,P＞0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that different treatment methods,tumor number ≥ 2,and tumor microvascular invasion were prognostic factors affecting tumor recurrence.No severe adverse reactions occurred in either group,and no deaths caused by adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion Compared with direct surgery,preoperative TACE can help improve early postoperative recurrence,prolong patients'disease-free survival,and do not lead to serious adverse events.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of wrapping the hepatic artery with the hepatogastric ligament for preventing bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches following pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).Methods 194 patients who underwent PD in Xiangyang Central Hospital from January 2017 to November 2024 were enrolled and categorized into two groups based on whether the hepatic artery was enwrapped with the hepatogastric ligament during the operation.The wrapped group consisted of 95 cases where the hepatic artery was wrapped,while the non-wrapped group had 99 cases without such wrapping.Intraoperative parameters(intraoperative blood loss and operative time)and postoperative complications(pancreatic fistula,abdominal cavity infection,biliary fistula,delayed gastric emptying,postoperative bleeding,and bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches)were compared between the two cohorts.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding.Results PD was accomplished successfully in both groups.There was no remarkable difference in intraoperative indices like blood loss and operative time between the two groups(P＞0.05).Similarly,no significant disparities were noted in postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula,abdominal infection,biliary fistula,and delayed gastric emptying(P＞0.05).Nevertheless,the incidence of postoperative bleeding in the wrapped group was lower than that in the non-wrapped group(3.16％vs.12.12％,P=0.019),and the incidence of bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches after surgery was also significantly decreased in the wrapped group(0 vs.10.10％,P=0.004).Logistic regression analysis revealed that the operation time(OR=1.013,P=0.011),pancreatic fistula(OR=9.006,P=0.006)and celiac infection(OR=7.930,P=0.014)are independent risk factors of postoperative bleeding,Hepatogastric ligament encapsulation of hepatic artery was an independent protective factor for postoperative hemorrhage of PD(OR=0.084,P=0.006).Conclusion Wrapping the hepatic artery with the hepatogastric ligament reduces PD postoperative bleeding,especially that of the hepatic artery and its branches,without adding other complications.

The fcl gene encodes GDP-fucose synthase, which catalyzes two-step differential isomerase and reductase reactions in the synthesis of GDP-L-fucose from GDP-D-mannose. It also participates in the biosynthesis of amino sugar and ribose sugar, and is one of the key enzymes to regulate the metabolism of sugar and nucleotides in organisms. The presence of fcl gene in Saccharopolyspora pogona was found through sequencing result of genome. The mutant S. pogona-fcl and S. pogona-Δfcl were constructed by gene engineering technology. The results showed that the gene had an effects on growth and development, protein expression and transcriptional level, insecticidal activity, and biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn of Saccharopolyspora pogona. The results of HPLC analysis showed that the yield of butenyl-spinosyn in S. pogona-Δfcl was 130% compared with that in S. pogona, which reduced by 25% in S. pogona-fcl. The results of determination of insecticidal activity showed that S. pogona-Δfcl had a stronger insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera than that of S. pogona, while the S. pogona-fcl had a lower insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera compared with S. pogona. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of the mycelia. It was found that the surface of the S. pogona-Δfcl was wrinkled, and the mycelium showed a short rod shape. There was no significant difference in mycelial morphology between S. pogona-fcl and S. pogona. Aboved all showed that deletion of fcl gene in S. pogona hindered the growth and development of mycelia, but was beneficial to increase the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn and improve insecticidal activity. Whereas the fcl gene over-expression was not conducive to the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn and reduced their insecticidal activity. SDS-PAGE results showed that the difference of protein expression among the three strains was most obvious at 96 hours, which was identified by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the results showed that there were significant differences of related genes in transcriptional levels among the three strains. Based on the results of the study, a network metabolic control map was constructed to analyze the effect of fcl gene on growth and the regulation pathway of butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis, which provided an experimental basis for revealing the regulation mechanism of butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis and related follow-up studies.
