ECMO is an advanced technology for extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory support. It involves the extraction of venous blood from the patient's body, which is subsequently oxygenated within an oxygenator (or membrane lung). This oxygen-rich blood is reinfused either into veins or arteries, rapidly compensating for impaired lung and heart functionalities.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TA), a rare systemic macrovasculitis in children, affects multiple arteries, causing necrosis, remodeling, stenosis, or dilatation. Due to nonspecific symptoms, early diagnosis is challenging, and it is often missed until organ dysfunction occurs. TA poses a significant health threat, with few reports on acute cerebral infarction in pediatric cases.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a new type of extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory assistance device. It can drain venous blood out of the body and inject it into veins or arteries after being oxygenated by an oxygenator (membrane lung) to replace lung and heart functions in a short time. ECMO can provide tissue blood perfusion and gas exchange almost equivalent to cardiac output and extend the effective treatment time window for patients with acute circulatory failure to restore cardiopulmonary function.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease that thickens the blood vessel walls and narrows the lumen. Venous thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in the body's deep veins or pulmonary arteries. However, the relationship between NDUFB11 and NDUFS3 and atherosclerosis and venous thrombosis is unclear.

Objective: Atherosclerosis is characterized by the formation of fibrofatty plaques in the intima of arteries, resulting in thickening of the vessel wall and narrowing of the lumen. Chronic stress refers to individuals in a state of long-term chronic stress. However, the relationship between NDUFB11 and NDUFS3 and atherosclerosis and chronic stress is unclear.

Background: Liriodendrin is a therapeutic constituent of sargentgloryvine stem which is a famous Chinese traditional medicine. Previous studies have suggested liriodendrin could inhibit different pathways to treat inflammation in lung and intestinal tract. But whether it can treat myocardial infarction (MI) is unknown.

Background: To investigate the protective effect of resolvin D1 (RvD1) on aortic dissection (AD) in mice and explore the related mechanisms.

Methods: Mice were randomly divided into a blank group, model group, and RvD1 group. The RvD1 and model groups were administered 0.

Background: Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) has a sudden onset and high mortality, and emergency total aortic arch replacement (TAAR) is the main treatment option for TAAD. The mortality rate of patients with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) combined with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is remarkable higher than that of patients without AKI. However, incidence of AKI and risk factors for CRRT following TAAR isn't entirely understood.

Background: Vein graft restenosis (VGR), which appears to be caused by dyslipidemia following vascular transplantation, seriously affects the prognosis and long-term quality of life of patients.

Methods: This study analyzed the genetic data of restenosis (VGR group) and non-stenosis (control group) vessels from patients with coronary heart disease post-vascular transplantation and identified hub genes that might be responsible for its occurrence. GSE110398 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Objective: To observe the effect of collecting and retransfusing autologous platelet rich plasma (aPRP) on the amount of allogeneic blood usage in total arch replacement (Sun's surgery) and the outcomes 30 days after surgery.

Design: A prospective, randomized trial.

Setting: A tertiary university hospital specialized in cardiovascular diseases.

To explore the protective effect of N(2)-L-alanyl-L-glutamine (NLAG) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and observe the influence of NLAG on the Janus activated kinase signal transducer 2 and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway‑associated molecules. Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham, IRI and NLAG. In the IRI rat model, the cardiac hemodynamics, the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure (+dP/dtmax) and the left ventricular end‑diastolic pressure (LVDP) were recorded.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of implanted biliary metallic stents in the management of malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ).

Methods: Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and stent insertion were performed in 241 consecutive patients to treat malignant biliary obstruction between December 1998 and February 2009. The study end point was patient death.

Objective: To analyze the risk factors in the patients over 65 years old undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAG) as grouped by postoperative creatinine clearance rate (Ccr).

Methods: A total of 462 consecutive patients over 65 years old undergoing OPCAG from January 2007 to December 2008 were recruited. They were divided into 3 groups by renal functions: normal, minor injury and moderate-severe injury.
