AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Much of the knowledge we have gained into the development of pathological ocular angiogenesis has come from the development of in vivo models that enable functional assessment of key components of signaling pathways in disease progression. Indeed, rodent models have facilitated identification of several therapeutics that target pathological angiogenesis. Two of the most widely used rodent models of oxygen induced retinopathy (OIR), Smith's mouse model and Penn's rat model reproducibly induce neovascularization reminiscent of the disease retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In this chapter we discuss development of ROP in humans and compare features with that of the rat and mouse models, focusing both on the benefits and caveats of using such models. Furthermore, we discuss in detail the methodology of both procedures and discuss the importance of various features of the model.

IL-1β primed mesenchymal stromal cells moderate hemorrhagic shock-induced vascular permeability.

Background: Hemorrhagic shock (HS) corresponds to absolute hypovolemia creating an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption. This causes an impaired hemostasis, a systemic inflammatory response, and microvascular permeability which can lead to multiple organ failure (MOF). There is no specific treatment for the endothelial dysfunction that plays a major role in the evolution towards MOF.

This study aims to explore the potential of using resveratrol (RES) to treat diabetic retinopathy (DR), as well as the involved molecular mechanisms underlying RES-mediated protection against DR. High concentration of glucose (HG)-induced Human retinal capillary endothelial cells (HRCECs) cell model and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DR mice model were established. Then, cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, pro-inflammatory factors, and expression of the related proteins SIRT1, HMGB1, VEGF, and CD31 were assayed by a series of cell biology methods.

Aims: Nicotine-exacerbated atherosclerosis significantly increases global mortality. Endothelial cells, which line the interior of blood vessels, are crucial for maintaining vascular function. How nicotine is involved in vascular remodeling in atherosclerosis via modulating endothelial dysfunction remains unknown.

Introduction: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides critical support to patients in severe cardiac and respiratory failure, but it requires anticoagulation to prevent complications like bleeding and thrombosis. Heparin, the primary anticoagulant utilized, is monitored by activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and anti-Factor Xa (AntiXa) levels. Discordance between the two assays complicates its titration and the impact on patient outcomes is not well-established.

Induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants to control bacterial diseases has become an effective solution to the problems of agrochemical resistance and ecological environment damage caused by long-term and large-scale use of traditional bactericides. However, current SAR-inducing compounds are often unable to rapidly eliminate pathogenic bacteria in infected plant tissues to prevent further spread of the disease, severely restraining the potential for extensive application in agriculture. Herein, we address the limitations by developing a series of visible-light-absorbing aggregation-induced emission photosensitizers suitable for agricultural use.
