ANP Increases Zn Accumulation During Reperfusion in Ex Vivo and In Vivo Hearts.

Objective: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and Zn have been shown to confer cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Zn alleviates myocardial hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension by regulating ANP expression, but its precise role in ANP-mediated cardioprotection remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether ANP protects the heart during reperfusion by modulating Zn levels and to explore the underlying mechanisms involved.

Methods: Eligible patients participating in the International Stroke Perfusion Imaging Registry with repeated 24-72 h perfusion imaging were retrospectively included in this study.

Innovative Therapeutic Strategies for Myocardial Infarction Across Various Stages: Non-Coding RNA and Stem Cells.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a highly challenging and fatal disease, with diverse challenges arising at different stages of its progression. As such, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which can broadly regulate cell fate, and stem cells with multi-differentiation potential are emerging as novel therapeutic approaches for treating MI across its various stages. NcRNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), can directly participate in regulating intracellular signaling pathways, influence cardiac angiogenesis, and promote the repair of infarcted myocardium.

Tenecteplase Thrombolysis for Stroke up to 24 Hours After Onset With Perfusion Imaging Selection: The CHABLIS-T II Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Whether it is effective and safe to extend the time window of intravenous thrombolysis up to 24 hours after the last known well is unknown. We aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large/medium vessel occlusion within an extended time window.

Methods: Patients with ischemic stroke presenting 4.

Study on the mechanical behavior and rupture characteristics of coal after thermal damage.

High temperature is a critical safety concern that poses challenges to the safe and efficient operation of coal mines. To explore the mechanical behavior and fracture mechanisms of coal exposed to high temperatures, coal samples were subjected to various thermal treatments. After cooling, uniaxial compression tests were performed using an electronic universal testing machine to assess their macroscopic properties.

Tenecteplase thrombolytic therapy for acute ischaemic stroke in China: a real-world, multicentre, retrospective, controlled study.

Background And Aims: Tenecteplase (TNK) offers logistical advantages in stroke thrombolytic therapy with its single bolus administration compared with alteplase. We aim to investigate the real-world evidence regarding its safety and effectiveness in China.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on patients receiving alteplase or TNK for acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) within 4.

Single-cell sequencing combined with transcriptomics and in vivo and in vitro analysis reveals the landscape of ferroptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a significant risk factor for acute myocardial infarction and is closely associated with ferroptosis. This study aimed to identify key ferroptosis-related genes as potential diagnostic markers for MIRI and to explore their roles in immune infiltration and therapeutic targeting in myocardial tissue. We obtained single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and RNA-seq data on MIRI from the GEO database, applied Seurat and UMAP for data processing and clustering, and analyzed ligand-receptor interactions using CellPhoneDB.

Trophoblast cell-derived extracellular vesicles regulate the polarization of decidual macrophages by carrying miR-141-3p in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Dysregulation of macrophage polarization can prevent the invasion of trophoblast cells and further limit spiral artery remodeling in preeclampsia (PE). However, its mechanism is obscure. HTR8-/Svneo cells were cultured under normoxic or hypoxic conditions and extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the culture supernatants were extracted.

Baseline Blood Pressure Was Associated with Hemispheric Cerebral Blood Flow in Acute Small Subcortical Infarcts.

Introduction: While increased baseline blood pressure (BP) is a prevalent comorbidity in the acute phase of ischemic stroke, the association between baseline BP and the state of hemispheric perfusion in patients with acute small subcortical infarcts (SSIs) has not been studied in detail. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between baseline BP and hemispheric cerebral blood flow (CBF) in acute SSIs.

Methods: This retrospective study included 101 patients with acute SSIs.

Histone deacetylase 6 controls cardiac fibrosis and remodelling through the modulation of TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signalling in post-infarction mice.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) belongs to the class IIb group of the histone deacetylase family, which participates in remodelling of various tissues. Herein, we sought to examine the potential regulation of HDAC6 in cardiac remodelling post-infarction. Experimental myocardial infarction (MI) was created in HDAC6-deficient (HDAC6) mice and wild-type (HADC6) by left coronary artery ligation.

Neural signatures of default mode network subsystems in first-episode, drug-naive patients with major depressive disorder after 6-week thought induction psychotherapy treatment.

Evidence indicates that the default mode network (DMN) plays a crucial role in the neuropathology of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the neural signatures of DMN subsystems in MDD after low resistance Thought Induction Psychotherapy (TIP) remain incompletely understood. We collected functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 20 first-episode, drug-naive MDD and 20 healthy controls (HCs).

Hourly effect of atmospheric reactive nitrogen species on the onset of acute ischemic stroke: Insight from the Shanghai Stroke Service System Database.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the most predominant causes of mortality and disability in China. Significant uncertainties in stroke diagnosis and time of onset have resulted in inconsistent evidence on the association between ambient air pollution and the risk of AIS. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of air pollution on AIS onset based on high time-resolution air pollution data and a stroke-specific registry across the past five years.

The emerging role of fibrin(ogen) in cardiovascular disease.

Objective: A coagulation factor called fibrinogen is produced by the liver and is proteolyzed by thrombin to become fibrin. The latest studies have revealed that fibrin(ogen) palys an essential role in the regulation of cardiovascular disease. Understanding the relationship and mechanism between fibrin(ogen) and cardiovascular disease is of great significance for maintaining overall health.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 disturbs adipocyte differentiation via the negative regulation of the glucagon-like peptide-1/adiponectin-cathepsin K axis in mice under chronic stress conditions.

Exposure to chronic psychosocial stress is a risk factor for metabolic disorders. Because dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) and cysteinyl cathepsin K (CTSK) play important roles in human pathobiology, we investigated the role(s) of DPP4 in stress-related adipocyte differentiation, with a focus on the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/adiponectin-CTSK axis in vivo and in vitro. Plasma and inguinal adipose tissue from non-stress wild-type (DPP4), DPP4-knockout (DPP4) and CTSK-knockout (CTSK) mice, and stressed DPP4, DPP4, CTSK, and DPP4 mice underwent stress exposure plus GLP-1 receptor agonist exenatide loading for 2 weeks and then were analyzed for stress-related biological and/or morphological alterations.
