The effect of aortic morphology on perioperative rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm-a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The high mortality from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is well-documented. However, the perioperative rupture risk is often underestimated. Aortic morphology is a key unresolved factor influencing this risk.

Soy isoflavones induces mitophagy to inhibit the progression of osteosarcoma by blocking the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Background: Soy isoflavones (SI) is a natural bioactive substance exhibiting beneficial effects on human health. This study aims to elucidate the therapeutic potential of SI in the treatment of osteosarcoma (OS) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms, particularly focusing on mitophagy.

Methods: The effects of SI on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of U2OS cells were analyzed.

Right ventricular global strain in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without right ventricular hypertrophy.

Purpose: Regardless of whether there are morphological abnormalities of right ventricle in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, the exact contribution of right ventricular (RV) global strains remains unresolved. We aimed to study the prognostic value of RV global strains in HCM patients with and without RV hypertrophy (RVH).

Method: A total of 358 HCM patients who underwent the CMR examination and carried out the follow-up were finally included in this retrospective study.

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Inhibits the Progression of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Mice: The Earlier, the Better.

Objectives: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has a cardiovascular protective effect by preventing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation. However, it is unclear at what point the agent should be administered to achieve the optimal effect. In this study, we aimed to determine whether administering the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide during the earlier stages would more efficiently inhibit AAA progression in mice.

A radiomics model based on aortic computed tomography angiography: the impact on predicting the prognosis of patients with aortic intramural hematoma (IMH).

Background: The prognosis of aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) is unpredictable, but computed tomography angiography (CTA) plays an important role of high diagnostic performance in the initial diagnosis and during follow-up of patients. In this study, we investigated the value of a radiomics model based on aortic CTA for predicting the prognosis of patients with medically treated IMH.

Method: A total of 120 patients with IMH were enrolled in this study.

Emergency Endovascular Management of Inadvertent False Lumen Stent Graft Implantation After Frozen Elephant Trunk Procedure: A Case Report.

This technology is a good supplement to the clinical practice, providing a new solution to the problem of stent placement in the prosthetic cavity, avoiding the patient to have another surgical operation, which is good for both medicine and patients.

[NO and N emission characteristics from maize and greenhouse vegetable soils in Northern China].

To explore NO and N emissions from upland soils after nitrogen fertilizer application, a 60-day aerobic incubation experiment (25 ℃,80% water-filled pore space) using the N tracing method was conducted to quantify the N transformation, NO and N emissions from maize soils from four sites (Harbin, Shenyang, Luancheng and Shouguang) and vegetable soils from two sites (Shen-yang and Shouguang), with urea being applied at 167 mg N·kg to simulate the field application rate of 200 kg N·hm. The results showed that for the four sites with maize soils, the cumulative emission of NO was in the order of Shouguang (20 mg N·kg) > Luancheng (14 mg N·kg) > Shenyang (5 mg N·kg) > Harbin (0.5 mg N·kg) and the cumulative N emission was in the order of Luancheng (176 mg N·kg) > Shenyang (106 mg N·kg) > Shouguang (75 mg N·kg) > Harbin (12 mg N·kg).

Quantification of Myocardial Deformation in Patients with Takayasu Arteritis by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Feature Tracking Imaging.

Background: Cardiac involvement is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA). Early detection and intervention of cardiac damage may be helpful to reduce the mortality of TA. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI)-derived feature tracking (FT) is an effective quantitative method to assess myocardial deformation which may reflect early changes of cardiac function.
