Article Synopsis
  • Liposarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that can occur in the mediastinum, and most existing information comes from scattered reports rather than extensive studies.
  • A 51-year-old man presented with respiratory symptoms and was found to have a large mediastinal mass that was misidentified as a teratoma; after surgery, he was diagnosed with dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
  • Despite surgical intervention and chemotherapy, the patient experienced rapid recurrence and ultimately died four months post-surgery, highlighting the need for correct diagnosis and treatment strategies for this aggressive condition.*

Objective: To analyze the relationship between the thickness of the left atrial posterior wall and the low and no voltage zones in the left atrial posterior wall in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods: 61 patients admitted to our cardiology department for AF and radiofrequency ablation of AF from January 1, 2020 to May 30, 2022 were enrolled according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The atrial wall thickness was measured by CT scan.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy and postoperative clinical adverse events of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic kidney disease (CKD) study participants combined with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that focus on the therapeutic effect evaluation of CABG and PCI and their effect on postoperative clinical adverse events as well as main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in CKD study participants with CAD were screened from the following databases, including CNKI, CBM, Wan Fang, VIP, Embase, PubMed, as well as Cochrane library clinical controlled trials. The study was conducted under the PRISMA 2020 criteria.

Background: The peripheral blood gene expression profile of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been fully resolved. The aim of this study was to further analyze the peripheral blood transcriptome information of CAD patients and to uncover key genes and regulatory mechanisms in the pathogenesis and disease progression of CAD.

Methods: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was applied to screen out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the peripheral blood of CAD patients, and the DEGs were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA).

During myocardial ischemia, timely reperfusion is critical to limit infarct area and the overall loss of cardiac contractile function. New treatment strategies need to be developed for patients who are neither able to receive interventional treatment nor suitable for surgical blood transport reconstruction surgery. Therapeutic angiogenesis is a promising approach that can be used to guide new treatment strategies.
