Soft tissue abnormalities in the congenital limb malformation radial dysplasia (RD): Their clinical impact and treatment significance

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We review the characteristic changes to the limb soft tissue and neurovascular abnormalities that have been described in the congenital limb birth defect, Radial Dysplasia. These include consistent changes in muscle anatomy or absence of specific muscles, persistent median arteries and absent radial arteries and consistent alterations in neural ...

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.

Comparative Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Multi‐Segment Thoracolumbar Tuberculosis Treated Through the Posterior “Detour Method” Versus the Combined Anterior–Posterior Approach: A Technique Note and Preliminary Retrospective Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
A simple schematic diagram; the red dashed arrow indicates the direction of surgical decompression. ABSTRACT Objective With the progress of spinal tuberculosis treatment theory and surgical tools, how to further improve the surgical efficacy, reduce surgical trauma, and increase safety in multi‐segmental spinal tuberculosis is still controversial ...

Lifelong aortic risk in Turner syndrome: Unexpected aortic events in asymptomatic patients

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques
Individuals with Turner syndrome (TS) face a high relative risk of acute aortic dissection compared with the general population. Dissection risk is greatest in those who have congenital heart disease, thoracic aortic aneurysms, or hypertension. This case

Far‐infrared irradiation attenuates platelet‐derived growth factor‐stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell migration through protein phosphatase 2A‐mediated Akt inhibition

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
FIR irradiation enhances the physical association between Akt and PP2Ac in VSMCs, independent of the hyperthermal effect of FIR rays. The increased binding between Akt and PP2Ac induced by FIR irradiation facilitates the dephosphorylation of Akt at Ser473.

Chimney thoracic endovascular aortic repair for traumatic aortic dissection with visceral malperfusion

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques
A 73-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a blunt thoracic aortic injury owing to a traffic accident. We diagnosed traumatic aortic dissection with visceral malperfusion requiring emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

4D ultrasound reveals regional left atrial strain remodelling in a murine model of reversible pressure overload

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Traditional planar imaging approaches of the left atrium do not capture complex geometry. Four‐dimensional imaging allows the acquisition of 3D data + time to visualize left atrial geometry and kinematics. We designed an advanced analysis technique to investigate left atrial biomechanics in a model of pressure overload and ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...
