Identification of CD38high Monocyte as a Candidate Diagnostic Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Sepsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers that CD38high monocytes discriminate sepsis and sterile inflammation and are associated with 28‐day mortality in bacterial sepsis. Targeting CD38 therapy reduces inflammatory response in monocytes and in sepsis mice model. Mechanistically, CD38‐HIF‐1α/glycolysis/MGO loop exacerbates sepsis‐induced immune dysregulation.

Rare Anatomic Entity Of Quadricuspid Aortic Valve With Aortic Insufficiency: A Case Report

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2007
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital heart defect that often causes symptomatic aortic insufficiency in adulthood, imposing valve replacement. Herein, we describe one unusual case of QAV which underwent valve replacement uneventfully.

Perspectives on the revised Ghent criteria for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome [PDF]

, 2015
Three international nosologies have been proposed for the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome (MFS): the Berlin nosology in 1988; the Ghent nosology in 1996 (Ghent-1); and the revised Ghent nosology in 2010 (Ghent-2).

Responsive ROS‐Augmented Prodrug Hybridization Nanoassemblies for Multidimensionally Synergitic Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Cascade Assaults

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel HCC therapy using CA‐4S2@ES‐Cu nanomedicines to amplify cuproptosis, enhancing chemotherapy and immunotherapy. CA‐4 and ES‐Cu synergistically inhibit tumor growth, induce immune responses, and reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment, offering an effective multidimensional therapeutic strategy for HCC treatment ...

Left Atrial-Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Step-By-Step Procedure and Case Example

Structural Heart, 2022
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is used in patients requiring biventricular support; however, its use increases the afterload. In patients with severe aortic insufficiency or severe left ventricular disfunction, it will increase left ...
