One of the type 4 cases showed a buildup of a mesentericomesenteric anastomotic pancreatic arcade between the inferior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, rather than a celiacomesenteric one.

Anatomic variation of the celiacomesenteric axis is important during hepatobiliary and duodenopancreatic approaches. Therefore, preoperative evaluation is essential because theoretical anatomic possibilities could be real arterial variants.

Therefore, the in vivo detection of lipid radicals would be expected to lead to early diagnosis of these diseases. However, there are no methods for measuring lipid radicals in vivo. Nitroxides are known to be highly reactive with lipid radicals, but they tend to be reduced in vivo. Focusing on the excellent detection sensitivity of nuclear medical imaging, we have developed a radioiodinated nitroxide derivative with resistance to bioreduction for the in vivo detection of lipid radicals. The desired compound was obtained successfully and was highly stable against bioreduction while maintaining high reactivity toward lipid radicals. The I-125 labeling was efficacious with radiochemical yields of 84-87% and radiochemical purities of >99%. A cellular uptake assay showed that the radioiodinated compound was significantly taken up by cells under lipid radical-producing conditions compared to that in the absence of lipid radical production. A biodistribution study indicated that the radioiodinated compound accumulated more in organs where lipid peroxidation was promoted than the methoxyamine derivative, which lost reactivity to lipid radicals. These results indicated that the developed probe became trapped in cells or organs by reacting with lipid radicals. Thus, the radioiodinated nitroxide is a candidate probe for in vivo detection of lipid radicals.Aging is a strong risk factor for brain dementia and cognitive decline. Age-related accumulation of metabolites such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) could serve as danger signals to initiate and accelerate disease process and neurodegeneration. The underlying causes and consequences of cerebral AGEs accumulation remain largely unknown. Here, we comprehensively investigate age-related accumulation of AGEs and dicarbonyls, including methylglyoxal (MG), glyoxal (GO), and 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), and the effects of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) on cerebral AGEs accumulation, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress in the aging human and mouse brain. We demonstrate that AGEs, including arginine and lysine derived N(6)-carboxymethyl lysine (CML), Nε-(1-Carboxyethyl)-l-lysine (CEL), and methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone-1 (MG-H1), were significantly elevated in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus with advanced age in mice. Accordingly, aging mouse and human brains revealed decrease in activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I & IV and ATP levels, and increased ROS. Notably, administration of mitoTEMPO (2-(2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-ylamino)-2-oxoethyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride (mTEMPO), a scavenger of mitochondrial ROS, not only suppressed ROS production but also reduced aged-induced accumulation of AGEs and dicarbonyls. mTEMPO treatment improved mitochondrial respiratory function and restored ATP levels. Our findings provide evidence linking age-related accumulation of toxic metabolites (AGEs) to mitochondrial oxidative stress. This highlights a novel mechanism by which AGEs-dependent signaling promotes carbonyl stress and sustained mitochondrial dysfunction. Eliminating formation and accumulation of AGEs may represent a new therapeutic avenue for combating cognitive decline and mitochondrial degeneration relevant to aging and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease.Phytochemical antioxidants like gallic and caffeic acid are constituents of the normal human diet that display beneficial health effects, potentially via activating stress response pathways. Using primary human skin fibroblasts (PHSFs) as a model, we here investigated whether such pathways were induced by novel mitochondria-targeted variants of gallic acid (AntiOxBEN2) and caffeic acid (AntiOxCIN4). Both molecules reduced cell viability with similar kinetics and potency (72 h incubation, IC50 ~23 μM). At a relatively high but non-toxic concentration (12.5 μM), AntiOxBEN2 and AntiOxCIN4 increased ROS levels (at 24 h), followed by a decline (at 72 h). Further analysis at the 72 h timepoint demonstrated that AntiOxBEN2 and AntiOxCIN4 did not alter mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψ), but increased cellular glutathione (GSH) levels, mitochondrial NAD(P)H autofluorescence, and mitochondrial superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) protein levels. In contrast, cytosolic SOD1 protein levels were not affected. AntiOxBEN2 and AntiOxCIN4 both stimulated the gene expression of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2; a master regulator of the cellular antioxidant response toward oxidative stress). AntiOxBEN2 and ANtiOxCIN4 differentially affected the gene expression of the antioxidants Heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone) 1 (NQO1). Both antioxidants did not protect from cell death induced by GSH depletion and AntiOxBEN2 (but not AntiOxCIN4) antagonized hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death. We conclude that AntiOxBEN2 and AntiOxCIN4 increase ROS levels, which stimulates NRF2 expression and, as a consequence, SOD2 and GSH levels. FRAX597 purchase This highlights that AntiOxBEN2 and AntiOxCIN4 can act as prooxidants thereby activating endogenous ROS-protective pathways.Global epidemiological studies reported a shift from maternal/infectious communicable diseases to chronic non-communicable diseases and a major part is attributable to atherosclerosis and metabolic disorders. Accordingly, ischemic heart disease was identified as a leading risk factor for global mortality and morbidity with a prevalence of 128 million people. Almost 9 million premature deaths can be attributed to ischemic heart disease and subsequent acute myocardial infarction and heart failure, also representing a substantial socioeconomic burden. As evidenced by typical oxidative stress markers such as lipid peroxidation products or oxidized DNA/RNA bases, the formation of reactive oxygen species by various sources (NADPH oxidases, xanthine oxidase and mitochondrial resperatory chain) plays a central role for the severity of ischemia/reperfusion damage. The underlying mechanisms comprise direct oxidative damage but also adverse redox-regulation of kinase and calcium signaling, inflammation and cardiac remodeling among others.
