Objective: To explore the risk factors for postoperative acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) patients.
Methods: This study included 64 patients with Stanford type A AAD who underwent Sun's procedure. The patients were divided into an ARDS group (PaO/FiO < 200 mmHg) and a non-ARDS group (PaO/FiO ≥ 200 mmHg).
Objective: This study was performed to investigate PTX3-mediated iNOS expression and IKK/IκB/NF-κB activation in PA-induced atherosclerotic HUVECs injury model.
Methods: The cell viability was detected by the CCK8 assay. The cell apoptosis was assessed by annexin V-PI double-labeling staining.

Objective: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in diverse biological processes, such as transcriptional regulation, cell growth and tumorigenesis. However, little was known about whether lncRNA HIF 1 alpha-antisense RNA 1 (HIF1a-AS1) in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of VSMCs in vitro and the expression of HIF1a-AS1 in serum of TAA patients.
Methods: The cell viability was detected by the CCK8 assay.
