Background: Left ventricular thrombus is a rare condition, for which appropriate treatments are not extensively studied. Although it can be treated by thrombectomy, such surgery can be difficult and risky, and not every patient can tolerate the surgery.
Case Summary: We report a case of a middle-aged man receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for acute myocardial infarction who developed left ventricular thrombus despite systemic anticoagulation.
Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a major cause of death in critically ill patients and is linked to acute kidney injury (AKI), but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
- This study examined the impact of endothelial dysfunction in sepsis-related AKI and evaluated the effects of a specific PI3Kγ inhibitor on kidney damage and endothelial injury in a mouse model.
- Findings revealed that endothelial damage was significantly worse in sepsis-induced AKI, and inhibiting PI3Kγ helped protect and repair kidney endothelium through the Akt signaling pathway, suggesting new treatment targets.
Background: Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a promising biomarker for diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the utility of FC for assessment of IBD activity has yet to be clearly demonstrated. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of FC for differentiating between patients with active IBD and those in remission.

Sixty-one patients (53.6 ± 8.

Objective: To study the chemical constituents in roots and rhizomes of ligularia duciforms.
Method: The compounds were isolated by column chromatography, the structures were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis.
Result: Six compounds were isolated and identified as caffeic acid (I), (E)-docosyl-3, 4-dihydroxycinnamate (II), (E)-docosyl 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyferulate (III, beta-amyrone (IV), beta-sitosterol (V), and daucosterol (VI).
