Summary: In this study, it was found that TLR4 activation induced neuronal ferroptosis following hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD), and inhibition of TLR4 attenuated oxidative stress-induced damage, decreased the activation of ferroptosis, and attenuated neuroinflammation following HIBD, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. The results demonstrated that the inhibition of TLR4-p38 MAPK signaling modulates HIBD- or OGD-induced ferroptosis in neuronal cells and may play a novel role in brain homeostasis.

Summary: Macrophage polarization plays essential roles in various diseases, and the natural compound quercetin has been found to inhibit inflammation and enhance M2 macrophage polarization and antioxidant expression. These findings are important for the potential use of quercetin as a drug for the treatment of inflammatory disorders in the central nervous system.

Summary: Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (H-I) injury causes neuronal and white matter damage, leading to infant morbidity and mortality. The role of microglia in white matter injury (WMI) is significant but not fully understood. Microglia may act as a double-edged sword in exacerbating or attenuating injuries in neonatal H-I injury.

Summary: This article summarizes the current research on the use of hydrogen as a neuroprotective agent in the treatment of neurological disorders, especially in the context of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns. Studies have shown that hydrogen has neuroprotective effects in adult diseases, but research in pediatric and neonatal medicine is still limited.

Summary: Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns worldwide. This study investigated the efficacy of hydrogen gas (H-2) in reducing cerebral vascular leakage using albumin immunohistochemistry in piglets subjected to a hypoxic-ischemic insult. Although histological images suggested signs of improvement, H-2 therapy did not significantly reduce albumin leakage in this study. Further investigations are needed to determine the effectiveness of H-2 gas for vascular leakage in neonatal HIE.

Summary: Recent studies have found that chlorogenic acid (CGA) in coffee has a protective effect on the nervous system, but its role in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is still unclear. In this study, a newborn mouse model of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury was established and CGA was injected intraperitoneally. The results showed that CGA intervention effectively reduced cerebral infarct volume, relieved cerebral edema, restored brain tissue structure, and promoted axon growth in injured brain tissue.

Summary: The research indicates that oxidative stress and hypoxia lead to different mechanisms in retinal diseases, activating either the immune response or inflammation. The complement system plays a significant role in the development of these diseases.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate whether postnatal allopurinol administration in combination with hypothermia would reduce oxidative stress biomarkers in an animal model of HIE. Results showed that protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation were significantly reduced in all groups treated with hypothermia and allopurinol, enhancing neuroprotection in HIE.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of quercetin (QU) on selected phosphodiesterase inhibitors against alpha-naphthyl isothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced acute intrahepatic cholestasis. The combination treatment of QU with sildenafil (Sild) or pentoxifylline (PTX) showed promising hepatoprotective effects and anti-cholestatic properties in improving ANIT-induced liver injury.
