Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a major complication following coronary revascularization. Studies indicate that its pathophysiological mechanisms of MIRI are closely associated with oxidative stress, iron overload, inflammatory responses, and lipid peroxidation. Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance in redox homeostasis under pathological conditions, characterized by the abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which disrupts the dynamic balance between pro-oxidant systems and antioxidant defense networks. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of MIRI due to its multi-target and multi-pathway antioxidant properties. Research reveals that TCM primarily exerts protective effects against oxidative stress-induced MIRI by regulating signaling pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3), and protein kinase C beta Ⅱ/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2/reactive oxygen species (PKCβⅡ/NOX2/ROS). This article reviews recent literature on TCM monomers, compound formulas, and their active components, which alleviate oxidative stress to prevent and treat MIRI by modulating the aforementioned signaling pathways. It summarizes a concise overview of the molecular mechanisms by which oxidative stress-related signaling pathways lead to MIRI, discusses how TCM regulates these pathways to reduce oxidative stress-induced MIRI, and explores clinical application prospects and research challenges, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for the research and clinical management of MIRI.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing international normalized ratio (INR)>3.0 in patients undergoing warfarin anticoagulation therapy after mechanical heart valve replacement. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients who underwent mechanical heart valve replacement surgery and received warfarin anticoagulation therapy at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2022. Based on the discharge INR values, patients were divided into two groups: an INR≤3.0 group and an INR>3.0 group. The factors associated with INR>3.0 at the time of discharge were analyzed. Results A total of 8901 patients were enrolled, including 3409 males and 5492 females, with a median age of 49.3 (43.5, 55.6) years. The gender, body mass index (BMI), New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function grading, INR, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and preoperative prothrombin time (PT) were statistically different between the two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that lower BMI, preoperative PT>15 s, and mitral valve replacement were independent risk factors for INR>3.0 at discharge (P<0.05). Conclusion BMI, preoperative PT, and surgical site are factors influencing INR>3.0 at discharge in patients undergoing warfarin anticoagulation therapy after mechanical heart valve replacement. Special attention should be given to patients with lower BMI, longer preoperative PT, and mitral valve replacement to avoid excessive anticoagulation therapy.

Objective:To systematically analyze the short-term and long-term efficacy of pancreatic stent placement in the treatment of hyperlipidemic pancreatitis (HTGP).Methods:This retrospective case-control study included 66 HTGP patients who received treatment at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 1, 2017 to June 1, 2020. Among them, 53 were male and 13 were female, with an age of (39.67±9.99) years. Patients were divided into stent group (20 cases) and conservative group (46 cases) based on whether they received pancreatic stent placement treatment. The main observation indicators included symptom relief, biochemical index recovery, recurrence rate, and incidence of complications.Results:In terms of short-term efficacy, compared with the conservative group, the stent group showed significantly better acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II scores [(2.85±1.66) vs. (4.59±2.60), P=0.008], lower incidence of organ failure [15.0% (3/20) vs. 41.3% (19/46), P=0.037], and lower incidence of short-term complications [10.0% (2/20) vs. 60.9% (28/46), P=0.012], all of which were statistically significant. In terms of long-term efficacy, the median time to first recurrence was significantly longer in the stent group (15 months) compared to the conservative group (12 months) ( Z=2.04, P=0.042). However, there was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between the two groups [50.0% (9/18) vs. 57.9% (22/38), P=0.579]. The incidence of late complications was also significantly lower in the stent group [5.6% (1/18) vs. 31.6% (12/38), P=0.042]. Conclusions:Pancreatic stent placement therapy has significant advantages in improving short-term symptoms and reducing the incidence of complications in HTGP patients, but the overall recurrence rate do not significantly decrease.
