The Role of Patients' Treatment Expectations in Ventricular Assist Device Support: Results From a Convergent Mixed Methods Study

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This mixed methods study aimed to: (i) identify treatment expectations held by individuals with a ventricular assist device (VAD), (ii) assess the extent to which these expectations have been met, and (iii) examine how treatment expectations relate to VAD‐specific health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) ABSTRACT Objectives Treatment expectations ...

Shaping the Flow: Impact of Blade Shape on Performance and Hemocompatibility in Rotodynamic Blood Pumps

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Blade shapes (leading‐edge geometry and thickness) in rotodynamic blood pumps were systematically evaluated. Thinner blades improve pump efficiency by reducing blockage effects, while neither blade thickness nor leading‐edge geometry shows clear hemocompatibility benefits. Overall, blade shape has a limited impact on hemocompatibility, indicating it is

Efficacy of Antimicrobial Silver‐Plated Dressings Compared to Usual Care in Preventing Left Ventricular Assist Device Driveline Infections

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Integrating silver‐plated wound dressings into DLES care presents a safe and effective strategy for DLI prevention. Key findings include a 100% infection‐free rate in the Silverlon group, no NPWT and hospital readmission in the Silverlon group, and no severe DESTINE stages (3, 4) in the Silverlon group.

Dysregulated TIE‐2 expression is associated with blood‐brain barrier leakiness and Alzheimer's disease‐related neuropathology

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
Ince et al., have analysed TIE‐1 and ‐2 expression in human brain tissue, including microvessel‐enriched fractions (MVF) and covering a spectrum of AD‐associated pathology, and in CSF from independent cohorts spanning a clinical spectrum from normal cognition to AD.

NRF2/xCT‐Mediated Antioxidant Adaptation Attenuates Apoptosis Induced by ASCT2 Inhibition in Prostate Cancer

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
ASCT2 inhibition induces ROS accumulation and activates NRF2‐dependent xCT upregulation in prostate cancer. This adaptive response partially supports residual cystine acquisition and glutathione synthesis, whereas combined ASCT2 and xCT inhibition disrupts redox compensation and predominantly promotes apoptotic cell death.

Hypericin Suppresses Liver Cancer Through Autophagic Degradation of AKT and Eliciting Antitumor Immune Response

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Hypericin induces autophagic AKT degradation by promoting AKT‐HSPA5 interaction in an S473 phosphorylation‐dependent manner, suppressing HCC growth. It enhances CD8+ T cell‐mediated antitumor immunity and synergizes with anti‐PD‐L1 therapy, showing favorable safety for HCC treatment. ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary

Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Structural Heart Disease With LVEF > 35%: Clinical Outcomes and Recurrence Patterns

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and moderately impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF > 35%), data on outcomes after ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation remain limited. This analysis focuses on VT recurrence after ablation in patients presenting with sustained VT and LVEF > 35% within a secondary ...

USP30 inhibits wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers by promoting TRAF6‐induced ferroptosis and angiogenesis inhibition

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
High glucose upregulates USP30 in HUVECs, which deubiquitinates and stabilizes TRAF6. Stabilized TRAF6 suppresses GPX4 and SLC7A11, increases ROS/MDA/lipid peroxidation, and activates ferroptosis and apoptosis, leading to impaired angiogenesis and delayed wound healing.
