    Abstract Although the three viruses corona viruses (SARS-CoV: 2003, MERS-CoV: 2012 and SARS-CoV-2: 2019) have similarities especially regarding clinical features, there are key differences between them that limit the relevance of experiences from previous crises. Regarding treatment in the absence of vaccine, it is recommended an the first stage to use pharmaceuticals and their combinations (protease inhibitors, interferon compounds, antiviral antibodies) aiming to suppress diverse targets during virus propagation and during the second disease stage, it seems crucial and reasonable to rely on administration of pathogenetic drugs to restrict life threatening events resulting in marked inflammation, intoxication, hypoxia and infection. The most important method to prevent viral zoonosis is to maintain the barriers between natural reservoirs and human society.

    Abstract Cytotoxic brain edema is an early complication of stroke which increases the possibility of secondary ischemia. Hypertonic solutions, mannitol and recently hypertonic saline (HS) has been considered for treatment of increased ICP. HS could decrease ICP especially in hypotensive patients with different mechanisms, direct effect on edema, decreasing inflammation which is mediated by attenuation of TNFa and IL-1b stimulation on Na-K-Cl cotransporter 1 and improvement of microcirculation. Improvement of microcirculation is so important for hypertonic solutions to be effective in ischemia especially focal ischemia. Based on the literature, hypertonic saline is more effective in decreasing cerebral edema than the equal volume of mannitol. The optimal dose and duration of therapy needs more trials. Caution should be performed with patients with moderate size hemispheric infarcts on presentation, race and genetic factors regarding osmotic therapy. Hypothermia has been rated as one of the most active modes of neuroprotection based on the results of different trials. Hypothermia in both ways, surface and intravascular, decreases cerebral metabolic rate of O2 and glucose and reduces brain oxygen consumption, inflammation and oxidative stress. Recent data continue to support consideration of therapeutic hypothermia for cerebral ischemia in larger clinical trials of acute ischemic stroke. By increasing the time window to therapy initiation and decreasing the treatment duration, selective intracarotid cold saline administration brings increased feasibility, potentially better outcomes and perhaps fewer complications compared with the whole body cooling. Hypothermia is now recommended as a targeted temperature management with defined protocol which should be started early; it may be performed pharmacologically in combination with other therapies. Applying hypothermia should be considered regarding its cost, using in awaked patients, re-warming protocol, incorporation of thrombolysis and its complications.

    Abstract Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ failure due to dysregulated host response to infection. Despite current advances in our knowledge about sepsis, it is still considered as a major global health challenge. Myocardial dysfunction is a well-defined manifestation of sepsis which is related to worse outcomes in septic patients. Given that the heart is a mitochondria-rich organ and the normal function of mitochondria is essential for successful modulation of septic response, the contribution of mitochondrial damage in sepsis-related myocardial dysfunction has attracted the attention of many scientists. It is widely accepted that mitochondrial damage is involved in sepsis-related myocardial dysfunction; however, effective and potential treatment modalities in clinical setting are still lacking. Mitochondrial-based therapies are potential approaches in sepsis treatment. Although various therapeutic strategies have been used for mitochondrial function improvement, their effects are limited when mitochondria undergo irreversible alterations under septic challenge. Therefore, application of more effective approaches such as mitochondrial transplantation has been suggested. This review highlights the crucial role of mitochondrial damage in sepsis-related myocardial dysfunction, then provides an overview on mitochondrial-based therapies and current approaches to mitochondrial transplantation as a novel strategy, and proposes future directions for more researches in this field.

    Abstract Background: Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is associated with worse clinical outcomes and high mortality, but no effective therapeutic intervention has been explored, reinforcing the urgent need to develop innovative strategies. Mitochondrial dysfunction underlies the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction. Herein, we assessed the effect of mitochondrial transplantation on sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction in a rat model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis.
    Methods: Male Wistar rats (n = 80, 12 weeks old, 250-300 g) were divided into groups with/without CLP-induced sepsis receiving mitochondrial transplantation in single or two repetitive injections (1 h or 1 and 7 h post-CLP, respectively). Mitochondria were isolated from donor rats and injected intravenously (400 µl of mitochondrial suspension containing 7.5 × 10
    Results: Mitotherapy significantly improved 72-hours survival (P < .05) and decreased LDH and cTn-I levels (P < .01). It also restored mitochondrial function and expression of mitochondrial biogenesis and fusion genes, and decreased the expression of mitochondrial fission gene and the levels of inflammatory cytokines (P < .05 to P < .01). Mitotherapy with repetitive injections at 1 and 7 h post-CLP provided noticeable mitoprotection in comparison with the group receiving mitotherapy at single injection.
    Conclusion: Mitotherapy improved mitochondrial function, biogenesis, and dynamic associated with SIRT-1/PGC-1α network and suppressed inflammatory response in CLP-induced sepsis model, therefore, offers a promising strategy to overcome life-threatening sepsis challenge.
