Background: This study tested the hypothesis that extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ECSWT) effectively rescues critical limb ischemia (CLI) in mice through the upregulation of GPR120, which protects against inflammation and angiogenesis to restore blood flow in the ischemic area.
Methods And Results: Compared with the control, ECSWT-induced GPR120-mediated anti-inflammatory effects significantly suppressed the expression of inflammatory signaling biomarkers (TAK1/MAPK family/NF-κB/IL-1β/IL-6/TNF-α/MCP-1) in HUVECs, and these effects were abolished by silencing GPR120 or by the GPR120 antagonist AH7614 (all P < 0.001).

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of endovascular versus open repair for the treatment of patients with descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA).
Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for relevant studies was performed. Outcome data, including postoperative mortality and morbidity, operative details, all-cause survival, freedom from aortic-related survival and freedom from aortic-related re-intervention, were independently extracted by two authors in a standardized way.

Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, has shown promising neuroprotective effects in several in vivo and in vitro experimental models. However, the mechanisms by which resveratrol mediates these effects are not fully understood. Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain; however, excessive extracellular glutamate levels can affect neural activity in several neurological diseases.

Context: The flow equations are derived for describing the two-dimensional hybrid molecular-scale and continuum flows in the very small surface separation with inhomogeneous solid surfaces and they can be applied for designing the specific bearings. The aim of the present study is to solve this specific flow problem in engineering with normal computational cost. The flow factor approach model describes the flow of the molecule layer adjacent to the solid surface and the Newtonian fluid model describes the flow of the intermediate continuum fluid.

Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH 1) is a rare genetic condition due to mutations in the AGXT gene. This leads to an overproduction of oxalate in the liver. Hyperoxaluria often causes kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, and chronic kidney disease.
