Reciprocal regulation of NRF2 by autophagy and ubiquitin–proteasome modulates vascular endothelial injury induced by copper oxide nanoparticles

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Highlights 1. CuONPs exposure activates NRF2 signaling in vascular endothelial cells and mouse thoracic aorta. 2. KEAP1 is dispensable for NRF2 activation in CuONPs-treated vascular endothelial cells. 3.

A left circumflex aorta with a displaced thoracic duct in a 94-year-old male cadaver: a case report with discussion on embryology

Folia Morphologica, 2023
A left circumflex aorta (LCA) is an extremely rare variation of the thoracic aorta. It is distinguished by a retroesophageal descending aorta that subsequently travels down the right side of the thoracic vertebrae towards the aortic hiatus.

Different anti-contractile function and nitric oxide production of thoracic and abdominal perivascular adipose tissues

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Divergent phenotypes between the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) surrounding the abdominal and the thoracic aorta might be implicated in regional aortic differences, such as susceptibility to atherosclerosis.

Association between institutional case volume and mortality following thoracic aorta replacement: a nationwide Korean cohort study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background The inverse relationship between case volume and postoperative mortality following high-risk surgical procedures have been reported. Thoracic aorta surgery is associated with one of the highest postoperative mortality. The relationship between

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair with a right thoracotomy approach

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022
Background The common femoral artery is usually the preferred access route for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, if access from the common femoral artery is challenging, other routes must be considered.
