Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL exacerbates orthotopic allograft transplantation vasculopathy via impairment of endothelial cell function

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Pulse Field Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Targeting the Persistent Superior Vena Cava

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare vascular anomaly that can act as a trigger for atrial fibrillation (AF). Thermal ablation in this region carries a notable risk. Pulse field ablation (PFA), a non‐thermal modality, offers a safer alternative.
