Adult male rats were anesthetized and catheters were implanted in the caudal artery. Soon after recovery from short-lasting anesthesia, a total of 20 groups of six each were individually exposed to five different oxygen levels varying from 21.0 to 9.0% combined with four CO2 levels ranging from 0 to 12.9% at a mean barometric pressure of 744 Torr. Arterial blood samples were collected and analyzed for pH, Po2, and Pco2 before and near the end of 20-min exposures. During an air-breathing control period, pH averaged 7.466 plus or minus 0.020 SD, Paco2 41.2 plus or minus 1.9 Torr and Pao2 91.8 plus or minus 3.5 Torr. During hypoxia, Pao2 levels were similar to that of acutely hypoxic humans. Rats apparently differ from man in that blood buffering is greater, resulting in a higher pH during air breathing and a smaller [H-+] increase with increasing Paco2. Differences between arterial and inspired CO2 were about 10 Torr at 60 and 90 Torr Plco2 and were not influenced by Plo2.

People with HIV (PWH) have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those without HIV. This study aimed to investigate the relative serum expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with arterial stiffness, a significant marker of cardiovascular disease. A total of 36 male PWH and 36 people without HIV, matched for age, body mass index, pack years, and dyslipidemia, were included in the study.

Powder-based hemostatic materials have offered unprecedented opportunities for the effective sealing and repair of irregularly shaped wounds and high-pressure, noncompressible arterial bleeding wounds caused by surgeries, traffic accidents, and wartime injuries. However, inadequate adhesion to bleeding wounds and poor hemostasis in biological tissues remains challenging. Herein, we report a self-gelling hemostatic powder based on polyacrylic acid/polyethyleneimine/polyethylene glycol (named PPG) for rapid hemostasis and effective antibacterial ability.

: Mulberries exhibit antioxidant properties that may attenuate metabolic abnormalities. Kamphaeng Saen mulberry (KPS-MB-42-1) contains anthocyanins, polyphenols, and nutrients, but few studies have explored its benefits for human health. This study investigated the effects of a concentrated mulberry drink (CMD) from the KPS-MB-42-1 cultivar on metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors in obese individuals.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence tools were used to investigate the discriminatory potential of blood serum metabolites for thromboembolism and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). H-NMR-based metabonomics data of the serum samples of patients with arterial or venous thromboembolism (VTE) without APS (n = 32), thrombotic primary APS patients (APS, n = 32), and healthy controls (HCs) (n = 32) were investigated. Unique metabolic profiles between VTE and HCs, APS and HCs, and between VTE and triple-positive APS groups were indicative of the significant alterations in the metabolic pathways of glycolysis, the TCA cycle, lipid metabolism, and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism, and pointed to the complex pathogenesis mechanisms of APS and VTE.

Calcium deposition in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), a form of ectopic ossification in blood vessels, can result in rigidity of the vasculature and an increase in cardiac events. Here, we report that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) potentiates calcium deposition in VSMCs and mouse aorta induced by inorganic phosphate (Pi) or vitamin D. Based on cDNA microarray and RNA sequencing data of Pi-treated rat VSMCs, C/EBPβ was found to be upregulated and thus selected for further evaluation.
