1. Tissue perfusion was measured in seven sheep by the radioactive microsphere method. 2. The sheep were anaesthetised and ventilated to a near normal arterial carbon dioxide tension. 3. Cardiac output was measured utilizing the Fick principle as applied to thermodilution and at the end of the investigation the sheep were killed by an overdose of anaesthetic. 4. The results were compared with previously published values for conscious sheep and anaesthetised horses and found to be similar when known variations in body composition and physiology were considered.

Background: Although the prognosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has dramatically improved, pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is one of the life-threatening comorbidities associated with SLE. The management of the comorbidity is occasionally challenging due to the lack of consensus regarding treatment options including immunosuppressive agents, selective pulmonary vasodilators, and cardiac rehabilitation.
Case Summary: A 28-year-old female who terminated prednisolone after remission of SLE by her own discretion 3 years ago developed dyspnoea on effort.

Background: There are several articles discussing the use of a hemostatic net to close dead spaces, but no in-vivo experimental studies have simultaneously examined the histology and tissue perfusion of these techniques.
Objectives: Our aim is to compare variations of the hemostatic net technique commonly used in current practice.
Methods: Two different hemostatic net suturing techniques and two times of suture removal were tested, with a control group for comparison.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers non-invasive assessments of brain structure and function for analyzing brain disorders. With the increasing accumulation of multimodal MRI data in recent years, integrating information from various modalities has become an effective strategy for improving the detection of brain disorders. This study focuses on identifying major depressive disorder (MDD) by using arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion MRI in conjunction with structural MRI data.

Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to non-invasively estimate the blood flow of different organs via compartmental modeling. Out of different PET tracers, water labeled with the radioactive O isotope of oxygen (half-life of 2.04 min) is freely diffusable, and therefore, very well-suited for blood flow quantification.

Background And Aims: Lackluster results from recently completed gene therapy clinical trials of VEGF-A delivered by viral vectors have heightened the need to develop alternative delivery strategies. This study aims to demonstrate the pre-clinical efficacy and safety of extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with VEGF-A mRNA for the treatment of ischaemic vascular disease.
Methods: After encapsulation of full-length VEGF-A mRNA into fibroblast-derived EVs via cellular nanoporation (CNP), collected VEGF-A EVs were delivered into mouse models of ischaemic injury.
