Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as DHA have known anti-inflammatory properties. The therapeutic implication highlights the importance of accurate serum measurements. Sample preservation is challenging when performed parallel to the clinical obligations. Impact of time between sample collection and processing regarding concentration alterations of fatty acids in human blood remains to be elucidated. Therefore, more information is required with respect to the stability and storage options in the context of potential degradation and concentration changes. This study investigates the stability of DHA in serum samples over time, given the challenges of timely sample analysis in clinical settings. Blood samples from three patients were collected and stored at +4 °C. Concentrations were analysed between 6 h and 7 days post-collection. Our data indicate that DHA concentrations remained unchanged during the observational period. Our results suggest that storage duration up to 7 days before sample processing does not affect accuracy of the results. DHA measurements is crucial for ongoing and future research in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. Our results reveal that DHA stability remains consistent over one week. This information is important for further clinical studies investigating PUFA concentrations, providing researches the option to postpone processing of samples if required along the clinical obligations.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced cardiac injury is associated with oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, protects the injured myocardium by modulating mitochondrial dysfunction. We aimed to confirm whether the cardioprotective effect of DHA is mediated via the alleviation of mitochondrial fragmentation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyopathy in vitro. We found that DHA improved cell viability and alleviated cardiac cell apoptosis by reducing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, expression levels of Cleaved caspase-3, and Caspase 3 activity. DHA attenuated oxidative stress as evidenced by decreased ROS production and increased superoxide dismutase activity. In addition, DHA ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction by modulating mitochondrial respiratory chain injury and mitochondrial fragmentation, especially decreasing the mitochondrial fission-related protein p-Drp1(ser 616) but no effects on Drp1, p-Drp1(ser 637), and mitochondrial fusion-related protein. Our data suggest that DHA conferred cardioprotection by alleviating oxidative stress-induced apoptosis, which may be associated with alleviation of stress-induced mitochondrial fragmentation.

Abstract
Cardiac remodeling is defined as molecular, cellular, and interstitial changes that manifest clinically as alterations in the size, shape, and function of the heart. Despite the pharmacological approaches, cardiac remodeling-related mortality rates remain high. Therefore, other therapeutic options are being increasingly studied. This review highlights the role of omega-3 as an adjunctive therapy to attenuate cardiac remodeling, with an emphasis on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.

Abstract
Aims To investigate the effects of M-CSF on myocardial injury in mice after MI by regulating different types of cardiac macrophages through the P2X7R/NLRP3/IL-1β signal pathway. Methods A total of 60 C57BL/6J WT mice were used, with the Sham Group subjected to ligation without ligation through the LAD, the MI model was prepared by ligation of the LAD in the MC Group and MM Group, with the M-CSF reagent (500 μg/kg/d) being given an intraperitoneal injection for the first 5 days after surgery in the MM Group. All mice were fed in a barrier environment for 1 week. After the study, myocardial tissues were collected and IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, MCP-1, IFN-α, ANP, BNP, β-MHC, Collage I, Collage III, P2X7R, NLRP3, IL-1β, Bax, Caspase 3, C-Casp 3, Bcl-2, M1/2 macrophage, the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, and the collagen deposition were detected. Results The inflammatory response was significantly lower in the MM Group, the cardiomyocyte apoptosis, fibrosis, and hypertrophy were inhibited compared to the MC Group, and the levels of P2X7R, NLRP3, and IL-1β were also statistically lower in the MM Group. Additionally, the expression of M2 macrophages increased in the MM Group while the M1 macrophages statistically decreased compared to the MC Group. Conclusion M-CSF can significantly increase the expression of M2 macrophage and reduce the level of M1 macrophage by inhibiting the levels of NLRP3/IL-1β-related proteins, thereby inhibiting inflammation, ameliorating reducing myocardial hypertrophy, apoptosis, and fibrosis, improve myocardial injury in mice after MI.

Abstract
Initial evidence indicates that preoperatively initiated administration of omega-3 fatty acids (FAs) attenuates the postoperative inflammatory reaction. The effects of immunonutrition containing omega-3 FAs, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on the inflammatory response to abdominal surgery continues to be unclear, although improved outcomes have been reported. Therefore, we determined the effectiveness of preoperatively initiated omega-3 FAs administration on postoperative inflammation defined as CRP (C-Reactive Protein), IL-6 (Interleukin 6), and WBC (White Blood Count) and potential effects on postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) due to an improved inflammatory response. METHODS a literature search of Cochrane Library was conducted to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of preoperatively initiated omega-3 to standard care, placebo, or other immunonutrients excluding omega-3 FAs in patients undergoing abdominal surgery until the end of December 2022. RESULTS a total of 296 articles were found during the initial search. Thirteen RCTs involving 950 patients were identified that met the search criteria. These were successively analyzed and included in this meta-analysis. There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to inflammatory markers IL-6: -0.55 [-1.22; 0.12] p = 0.10, CRP: -0.14 [-0.67; 0.40] p = 0.55, WBC: -0.58 [-3.05; 1.89] p = 0.42, or hospital stay -0.5 [-1.43; 0.41] p = 0.2. CONCLUSION although reduced inflammatory markers were observed, preoperative administration of omega-3 FAs immunonutrients had no significant effect on the postoperative inflammatory response in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries. Yet, results obtained from this study are inconclusive, likely attributed to the limited number of trials and patients included. Further studies are required to obtain a better educated verdict.

Abstract
Inflammation is a complex biological response involving the immune, autonomic, vascular, and somatosensory systems that occurs through the synthesis of inflammatory mediators and pain induction by the activation of nociceptors. Staphylococcus aureus, the main cause of bacteremia, is one of the most common and potent causes of inflammation in public health, with worse clinical outcomes in hospitals. Antioxidant substances have been evaluated as alternative therapeutic analgesics, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, antitumor agents, and bactericides. Among these, we highlight the essential oils of aromatic plants, such as β-caryophyllene (BCP), and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The objective of this study was to evaluate the biological activities of BCP-DHA association in in vitro and in vivo experimental models of antinociception and inflammation. To determine the anti-inflammatory effects, monocytes isolated from the peripheral blood of adult male volunteers were infected with methicillin-resistant S. aureus and incubated with treatment for cytokine dosage and gene expression analysis. Antinociceptive effects were observed in the three models when comparing the control (saline) and the BCP-DHA treatment groups. For this purpose, the antinociceptive effects were evaluated in animal models using the following tests: acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing, paw edema induced by formalin intraplantar injection, and von Frey hypernociception. There was a significant reduction in the GM-CSF, TNFα, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-12 levels and an increase in IL-10 levels in the BCP-DHA treatment groups, in addition to negative regulation of the expression of the genes involved in the intracellular inflammatory signaling cascade (IL-2, IL-6, IRF7, NLRP3, and TYK2) in all groups receiving treatment, regardless of the presence of infection. Statistically significant results (p < 0.05) were obtained in the acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing test, evaluation of paw edema, evaluation of paw flinching and licking in the formalin intraplantar injection model, and the von Frey hypernociception test. Therefore, BCP and DHA, either administered individually or combined, demonstrate potent anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects.

Abstract
Our prior studies have characterized the participation of histone demethylase KDM3A in diabetic vascular remodeling, while its roles in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (MIRI) remain to be illustrated. Here we show that KDM3A was significantly downregulated in rat I/R and cellular hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) models. Subsequently, gain- and loss-of-function experiments were performed to investigate the effects of KDM3A in the settings of MIRI. KDM3A knockout exacerbated cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyocytes injury both in vivo and in vitro. The deteriorated mitochondrial apoptosis, reactive oxygen species, and inflammation were simultaneously observed. Conversely, KDM3A overexpression developed the ameliorated alternations in MIRI. Mechanistically, the MIRI-alleviating effects of KDM3A were associated with the enhancement of ETS1 expression. ChIP-PCR affirmed that KDM3A bound to the ETS1 promoter and removed dimethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me2), thus promoting ETS1 transcription. Our findings suggest that KDM3A is available for alleviating multi-etiologies of MIRI through the regulation of ETS1. Prevention of cardiac injury requires a deeper mechanistic understanding of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) episodes. Here, the authors find that the epigenetic modifier KDM3A plays a crucial role in myocardial I/R injury through its activation of the gene ETS1 and suggest boosting KDM3A expression could be a potential treatment strategy.

Abstract
ObjectiveComplex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is usually triggered by trauma or a surgical procedure, and it typically becomes an established one after an intense inflammatory process with chronic pain and edema as the main symptoms. Available treatments for CRPS have low efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and immunoregulatory effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation on paw edema and anti- and pro-inflammatory cytokines and macrophage phenotypes in the chronic post-ischemia pain (CPIP) preclinical model of CRPS-Type I.MethodsFemale Swiss mice were supplemented with omega-3, corn oil, or saline and then submitted to the CPIP model of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Supplementation was carried out for 30 days prior to and up to 2 or 15 days after the induction of CPIP, according to experimental protocols. The supplementation protocol included 1,500 mg/kg of omega-3 or corn oil through an intragastric route (gavage). Paw edema, interleukin- (IL-) 4, IL-10, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were then measured in the paw skin and muscle by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and macrophage phenotypes (M1 and M2) assessed in the paw muscle by Western blotting.ResultsThe CPIP model induced an increase in paw thickness up to 72 h post-I/R. Mice supplemented with omega-3 compared to the saline group displayed reduced edema but neither altered skin IL-4 or skin and muscle TGF-β1, TNF, and MCP-1 concentrations, nor did they exhibit significantly altered muscle macrophage phenotype on the 2nd-day post-CPIP. However, omega-3 supplementation reversed the I/R-related reduction in IL-4 in the paw muscle compared to groups supplemented with saline and corn oil. Furthermore, omega-3 promoted the reduction of IL-10 levels in the paw skin, compared to animals with lesions supplemented with saline, until the 2nd-day post-CPIP. On the 15th day post-CPIP, IL-10 was significantly increased in the muscle of animals supplemented with omega-3 compared to the saline group.ConclusionThe results suggest that omega-3 PUFA supplementation has anti-inflammatory effects in the CPIP model of CRPS-Type I, significantly reducing paw edema and regulating concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-4 and IL-10.
