Targeting Epigenetics and Non-coding RNAs in Myocardial Infarction: From Mechanisms to Therapeutics.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a complicated pathology triggered by numerous environmental and genetic factors. Understanding the effect of epigenetic regulation mechanisms on the cardiovascular disease would advance the field and promote prophylactic methods targeting epigenetic mechanisms. Genetic screening guides individualised MI therapies and surveillance.

The Effects of Ischemic Preconditioning Supplementation on Endothelial Function: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has gradually been promoted in clinical practice to lower the risk of cardiovascular surgery and postoperative complications. We investigated the role of IPC on vascular endothelial function and the relationship between IPC, flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and brachial artery diameter (BAD).

Methods: Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Scopus databases from their inception to March 20, 2020.

[Experimental study of the effect of liposome-mediated vascular endothelial growth factor gene on the flap survival in rats].

Objective: To investigate the effect of VEGF gene on the random flap survival after pedicle division at different time in rats.

Methods: The random-pattern flaps were formed on the back of the 120 SD rats. PcDNAVEGF165 (gene) wrapped with liposome was injected into the flaps in experimental group (n = 40).

Characterization of candidate class A, B and E floral homeotic genes from the perianthless basal angiosperm Chloranthus spicatus (Chloranthaceae).

The classic ABC model explains the activities of each class of floral homeotic genes in specifying the identity of floral organs. Thus, changes in these genes may underlay the origin of floral diversity during evolution. In this study, three MADS-box genes were isolated from the perianthless basal angiosperm Chloranthus spicatus.
