Article Synopsis
  • Intimal hyperplasia (IH) is a major issue in vascular interventions, and this study investigates the role of gangliosides GA2 in its development.
  • Researchers found that GA2 levels were significantly higher in atherosclerotic mouse aortae and plasma, and injecting GA2 worsened IH by interacting with macrophages.
  • The study reveals that GA2 activates caspase-4 and promotes pyroptosis in macrophages, suggesting a new mechanism for IH that could lead to potential diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Oxidative stress is a primary contributor to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) injury, and the use of antioxidants represents a crucial therapeutic strategy for managing CI/R injury. This study aims to explore the antioxidant effects of benzyl ferulate on CI/R injury and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. In vivo models of CI/R injury and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in SH-SY5Y cells were established, followed by treatment with benzyl ferulate.

PTEN/AKT signaling plays pivotal role in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI), and miRNAs are involved in the regulation of AKT signaling. This study was designed to investigate the interaction between miR-129 and PTEN in MIRI. A MIRI rat model and a hypoxia reoxygenation (H/R) H9C2 cell model were constructed to simulate myocardial infarction clinically.

Background: Several studies have shown that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have worse clinical outcomes in comparison to patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). However, the adverse clinical outcomes were not similarly reported in all the studies. Therefore, in order to standardize this issue, a meta-analysis including 139,774 patients was carried out to compare the in-hospital, short-term (<1 year) and long-term (≥1 year) adverse clinical outcomes in patients with and without T2DM following PCI.

A novel codrug (LMX) was obtained from lamivudine (LMV) and ursolic acid (UA) coupled with ethyl chloroacetate through an amide and ester linkage. The structure of LMX was confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and HRMS. Herein, the in vitro non-enzymatic and enzymatic hydrolysis and in vivo pharmacological activities of LMX were studied.
