We describe a technique of partial translocation with an autologous pericardial patch reinforcement of the left atrial wall in patients with extensive mitral annular calcification (MAC) who require mitral valve replacement.

Hemi-Nikaidoh: Partial Aortic Root Translocation and Posterior Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Plasty.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Section of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, New York, New York.
Among repairs for ventriculoarterial discordance, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis, aortic root translocation (Nikaidoh operation) offers the most anatomic result. With a diminutive pulmonary annulus or hypoplastic left ventricular outflow tract, the distance gained posteriorly with aortic translocation is negligible. We developed the "hemi-Nikaidoh" procedure as an alternative.

rearrangements are major genetic entities in the classification of acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs), but their diverse and frequently cryptic nature makes their detection and characterization challenging. Karyotypic anomalies at the locus and/or abnormal Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results strongly indicate a fusion, but the identification of the translocation partner gene often requires further investigation. partial tandem duplications (PTDs), on the other hand, are undetectable by standard cytogenetics methods.

There is a need to study the early and efficient biomarkers of Parkinsons, such as changes in structural disorders like DNA and chromatin, especially at the subcellular level in the human brain. We used two techniques, Partial wave spectroscopy (PWS) and Inverse Participation Ratio (IPR), to detect the changes in structural disorder in the human brain tissue samples.

Despite related evidence that Lewy pathology spreads across different brain regions as the disease progresses, the underlying mechanism hence the fundamental cause of PD progression is unknown. The propagation of aSyn pathology is thought to potentially occur through the release of aSyn aggregates from diseased neurons, their uptake by neighboring healthy neurons via endocytosis, and subsequent seeding of native aSyn aggregation in the cytosol.

January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, The First Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China. Electronic address:
Unlabelled: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are common complications following surgery and anesthesia, especially in the elderly. These disorders are associated with disruptions in neuronal energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. This study explores the potential of intranasal insulin administration as a therapeutic strategy to prevent PND by targeting the calcium transport protein complex IP3R/GRP75/VDAC1 on mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs).
