This paper aims to summarize the recent progress of researches on the primo vascular system (PVS) and to analyze characteristics between PVS and traditional Chinese meridians. With the distribution, position features, identification and origin of PVS, and its function related to meridians elaborated on, we propose that there is still a lack of enough evidence to support the correlation between PVS and traditional Chinese meridians.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of different methods of interfacial elastic compression and their association with obesity and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
Methods: Forty legs with vascular disease and 40 control legs were analyzed. Four different methods of elastic compression were applied and interface pressure was measured.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune function and the removal of cellular waste. Recent studies have highlighted the presence of primo vessels (PVs) inside lymphatic vessels, distinct from conventional lymphatic tissues, yet their structural and functional characteristics remain poorly understood, particularly PVs inside deep cervical lymphatic vessels (dcLVs) connected to the meningeal lymphatics. We used a combination of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Alcian Blue (AB) and H&E staining techniques to identify and characterize PVs inside the dcLVs of mice.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive heart rates in septic shock patients can negatively impact their health, prompting a study on the use of the ultra-short-acting beta-blocker landiolol to control heart rate without raising the need for vasopressors.
- Conducted across 20 sites in Europe from 2018 to 2022, the study compared landiolol combined with standard treatment to standard treatment alone in adults with septic shock and high heart rates, focusing on maintaining a target heart rate (80-94 bpm) without increasing vasopressor requirements.
- Results showed that a higher percentage of patients receiving landiolol achieved the target heart rate compared to those receiving standard treatment (39.8% vs. 23.5%), but there were no

Dietary inorganic nitrate lowers blood pressure (BP) in healthy individuals through improved nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. However, there is limited evidence examining the long-term effects of dietary nitrate for managing hypertension. We aimed to determine whether the sustained intake of dietary nitrate improved BP and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in individuals with early-stage hypertension.
