Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the concentration-dependent effects of isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane on oral tissue blood flow.

Materials And Methods: Thirty male Japan White rabbits were randomized to receive 1 of 3 volatile anesthetics: isoflurane (group Iso), sevoflurane (group Sevo), or desflurane (group Des). The end-tidal concentration of each volatile anesthetic was regulated to 0.5, 1, and 1.5 minimum alveolar concentrations (MACs). The observed variables were heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, common carotid arterial blood flow, tongue mucosal blood flow, mandibular bone marrow blood flow (BBF), masseter muscle blood flow (MBF), upper alveolar tissue blood flow, and lower alveolar tissue blood flow (LBF).

Results: The blood pressure in each group tended to decrease depending on the concentration of each volatile anesthetic, with the smallest effect in group Des. BBF and MBF in group Iso were higher than those in group Des at 1 MAC, and MBF and LBF in group Iso were highest at 1.5 MAC.

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that each volatile anesthetic produced unique effects on blood flow in oral tissues and circulatory parameters. Among the 3 volatile anesthetics, desflurane produced the smallest effects on oral tissue blood flow.

Background/aims: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult cells commonly used in regenerative medicine as advanced therapy medicinal products. The expansion of these cells in xeno-free supplements is highly encouraged by regulatory agencies due to safety concerns. However, the number of supplements with robust performance and consistency for hMSC expansion are limited.

A 44 year-old previously healthy woman presented a persistent epigastric pain. Computed tomography revealed a saccular aneurysm with a diameter of 25x20 mm in the first jejunal artery and also a stenosis in the celiac trunk associated with median arcuate ligament syndrome, turning the hepatic perfusion dependent of the gastroduodenal artery flow. Through a midline laparotomy, celiac axis was exposed, and median arcuate ligament released for median arcuate ligament syndrome treatment.

Department of Biomedicine - Unit of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto; RISE@Health, Porto, Portugal.

Background: Aortoiliac disease (AID) is a variant of peripheral artery disease involving the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries. Similar to other arterial diseases, aortoiliac disease obstructs blood flow through narrowed lumens or by embolization of plaques. AID, when symptomatic, may present with a triad of claudication, impotence, and absence of femoral pulses, a triad also referred as Leriche Syndrome (LS).

Tissue nanotransfection-based endothelial PLCγ2-targeted epigenetic gene editing in vivo rescues perfusion and diabetic ischemic wound healing.

Electronic address:

Diabetic wounds are complicated by underlying peripheral vasculopathy. Reliance on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy to improve perfusion makes logical sense, yet clinical study outcomes on rescuing diabetic wound vascularization have yielded disappointing results. Our previous work has identified that low endothelial phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) expression hinders the therapeutic effect of VEGF on the diabetic ischemic limb.
