The purpose of our investigations was to answer the question of whether an increased number of cytoskeletal structures (CSS) in endothelial cells (EC) of the mesenteric terminal vascular bed will be seen in the early phase of a traumatic haemorrhagic shock (THS). A THS was induced in 32 adult R-rats according to a standardized model (fracture of right heel and withdrawal of one third blood volume through carotid catheter). Eight animals each time were killed 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes after shock induction. Tissue samples of mesenteric microvessels were taken and flatly embedded in Epon. The mesenterium of 8 animals was used as control. CSS formed in the perinuclear and/or peripheric regions of endothelial cytoplasm were visually evaluated and divided into 3 degrees on the basis of 1,500 micrographs. Results were statistically analyzed. A significantly higher degree of CSS (microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules) in EC was found in all shock groups as compared with the control group. CSS are frequently clearly seen in oedematous and swollen EC as well as in EC rich in organelles. Capillaries with stasis are especially predisposed to CSS. Different factors as changed interaction between vascular content and EC, hypoxia and ischemia as well an increased metabolic activity of EC have to be considered as possible causes.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The mechanisms underlying metastasis, which contributes to poor outcomes, remain elusive.
Methods: We used the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset to compare mRNA expression patterns of integrin α6 (ITGA6) and integrin β4 (ITGB4) in patients with CRC.

Purpose: Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) displays a higher incidence in females than in males, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate sex-dependent differential gene expressions in corneal endothelial cells (CECs) from healthy non-FECD individuals and from patients with FECD.
Methods: RNA-Seq data from CECs of non-FECD subjects (3 males, 4 females) and FECD subjects (5 males, 5 females) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the sexes.

Porcine latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) is a crucial source of pork products. Meat quality indicators, such as the proportion of muscle fibers and intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition, vary during the growth and development of pigs. Numerous studies have highlighted the heterogeneous nature of skeletal muscle, with phenotypic differences reflecting variations in cellular composition and transcriptional profiles.

Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic potential of eliminating insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) expression in improving erectile function in mice with cavernous nerve injury (CNI)-induced erectile dysfunction (ED).
Materials And Methods: Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups: a sham-operated group and three CNI-induced ED groups. The CNI-induced ED groups were treated with intracavernous injections 3 days before the CNI procedure.

Background: Paternal preconception alcohol exposure affects fetal development; however, it is largely unknown about the influences on offspring vasculature and mechanisms.
Methods: Offspring born form paternal rats treated with alcohol or water before pregnant was raised until 3 months of age. Vessel tone of mesenteric arteries was detected using myograph system; whole-cell calcium channel current in smooth muscle cells was tested using patch-clamp; molecule expressions were detected with real-time PCR, western blotting, and Dihydroethidium (DHE); DNA methylations were determined using targeted bisulfate sequencing assay.
