Influence of Differential Calcification in the Descending Thoracic Aorta on Aortic Pulse Pressure

open access: yesJournal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews, 2017
Purpose: Multiple studies have shown pulse pressure (PP) to be a strong predictor of aortic calcification. However, no studies are available that correlate PP with aortic calcification at the segmental level.

Angiotensin II blockade and aortic-root dilation in Marfan's syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: Progressive enlargement of the aortic root, leading to dissection, is the main cause of premature death in patients with Marfan's syndrome. Recent data from mouse models of Marfan's syndrome suggest that aortic-root enlargement is caused by ...

CRISPR‐MI and scRNA‐Seq Reveal TREM2's Function in Monocyte Infiltration and Macrophage Apoptosis During Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Development

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A method is developed for conducting genome‐wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening of monocyte infiltration in vivo (CRISPR‐MI) that is easily adaptable across a variety of disease models. Through the combination of CRISPR‐MI and scRNA‐Seq, this study discovers that Trem2 is a key regulator of early monocyte infiltration in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA ...

Association of Cystic Medial Necrosis of the Aorta and Undiagnosed Thyroiditis [Scripta Medica] [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
We have recently seen two patients with cystic medial necrosis of the aorta. The first patient died of a dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta. At autopsy, classical Hashimoto’s thyroiditis was discovered.

Advanced Microfluidics for Single Cell‐Based Cancer Research

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cutting‐edge microfluidic platforms are transforming single‐cell cancer research. This review highlights advanced technologies, from droplet microfluidics to tumour‐chips, that enable functional and spatial single‐cell analyses. By integrating biosensing, immune components, and patient‐derived materials, these systems offer new insights into tumour ...

Aortic stenting in the growing sheep causes aortic endothelial dysfunction but not hypertension: Clinical implications for coarctation repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Stent implantation is the treatment of choice for adolescents and adults with aortic coarctation (CoAo). Despite excellent short-term results, 20%-40% of the patients develop arterial hypertension later in life, which was attributed to inappropriate ...

Ligilactobacillus Murinus and Lactobacillus Johnsonii Suppress Macrophage Pyroptosis in Atherosclerosis through Butyrate‐GPR109A‐GSDMD Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral aspirin administration induces intestinal expansion of Lactobacillus murinus and Lactobacillus johnsonii, which suppresses the progression of atherosclerosis. This microbial expansion significantly enhances butyrate production by providing lactate as a metabolic substrate, thereby fostering the growth of butyrate‐producing bacteria. Butyrate plays

Leptin Aggravates Thoracic Aortic Dissection Through Impairment of Energy Metabolism in Nrip2+ Smooth Muscle Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Epidemiological data confirm obesity elevates thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) risk. Patient analyses implicate hyperleptinemia, where leptin binding to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) receptors triggers Socs3‐mediated suppression of Stat5a transcriptional activity.

STK25 Loss Augments Anti‐PD‐1 Therapy Efficacy by Regulating PD‐L1 Stability in Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that STK25 depletion facilitates CRC immune escape through the inhibition of PD‐L1 Ser283 phosphorylation‐mediated ubiquitination, and promotes tumor growth. Furthermore, these findings identify STK25 as a potential therapeutic target to trigger antitumor immunity and promote immunotherapy efficacy. Abstract Tumor immune evasion
