A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Therapeutic option for children with esophageal caustic stenosis

, 2008
Caustic ingestion is a leading cause of esophageal stenosis in children. Herein we report four cases using mitomycin C (MMC), a drug that inhibits cell division, protein synthesis and fibroblast proliferation and has been used as an adjuvant therapy for ...

Comparison of HEMOlysis Markers Among Three Pulsed Field Ablation Systems: HEMO‐PFA Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel non‐thermal modality for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. While hemolysis is a known complication of PFA, comparative data among different systems remain limited. Methods We prospectively enrolled 150 consecutive AF patients undergoing ablation with one of three PFA systems ...

Prospective Trial of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of High Dominant Frequencies After Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Non‐Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAD‐AF Trial): A Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In persistent AF, adjunctive dominant frequency‐guided ablation after pulmonary vein isolation did not significantly improve outcomes. Limited overlap between high‐frequency sites and low‐voltage areas suggests functional–structural dissociation, while right atrial low‐voltage burden predicts recurrence.

Comparison of Two Pulsed Field Ablation Systems for Atrial Fibrillation: One‐Year Outcomes From a Multicenter Registry

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While various pulsed field ablation (PFA) systems for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have become available in recent years, data comparing long‐term efficacy outcomes remain limited. Purpose To compare long‐term efficacy outcomes of two commercially available PFA systems to perform pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for AF in a ...
