However, no effective approaches are available to prevent its progression and development. Recently, autophagy dysfunction was identified to be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

Exercise is an important strategy to prolong life and increase muscle mass, and resveratrol has been shown a variety beneficial effects on skeletal muscle. In the present study, we investigated the potential efficacy of using short-term exercise (six weeks), resveratrol (150mg/kg/day), or combined exercise+resveratrol (150mg/kg/day) on gastrocnemius muscle mass, grip strength, cross-sectional area and microscopic morphology in aged rats, and explored the potential mechanism at the apoptosis level.

- The study investigates how angiographic and IVUS features affect clinical outcomes in nondiabetic and type 2 diabetic patients after PCI with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES).
- Repeat angiography and IVUS imaging were conducted on 128 diabetic and 327 nondiabetic patients to record major adverse cardiac events during follow-up.
- Results showed that while intimal hyperplasia was similar between both groups, diabetic patients experienced higher rates of new coronary lesions and reduced survival rates from serious cardiac events, indicating that diabetes contributes to poorer clinical outcomes despite similar rates of stent-related complications.
Aims: We sought to examine the impact of moderate or severe renal insufficiency (RI) on long-term clinical outcomes after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent implantation.
Methods: All-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events were prospectively determined for 1174 patients after successful PCI with drug-eluting stent implantation. Based on estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) levels, long-term outcomes were compared between patients with CrCl<60 ml/min (RI group; n=460) and those with CrCl> or =60 ml/min (control group; n=714).
