Background And Purpose: Despite great efforts by pharmacogenetic studies, the causes of aspirin failure to prevent the recurrence of ischemic events remain unclear. Our aim was to study whether epigenetics could be associated with the risk of vascular recurrence in aspirin-treated stroke patients.
Methods: We performed an epigenetic joint analysis study in 327 patients treated with aspirin. In the discovery stage, we performed a nested case-control study in 38 matched ischemic stroke patients in whom 450 000 methylation sites were analyzed. Nineteen patients presented vascular recurrence after stroke, and 19 matched patients did not present vascular recurrence during the first year of follow-up. In a second stage, 289 new patients were analyzed by EpiTYPER.
Results: The following 3 differentially methylated candidate CpG sites, were identified in the discovery stage and analyzed in the second stage: cg26039762 (P=9.69×10(-06), RAF1), cg04985020 (P=3.47×10(-03), PPM1A), and cg08419850 (P=3.47×10(-03), KCNQ1). Joint analysis identified an epigenome-wide association for cg04985020 (PPM1A; P=1.78×10(-07)), with vascular recurrence in patients treated with aspirin.
Conclusions: The pattern of differential methylation in PPM1A is associated with vascular recurrence in aspirin-treated stroke patients.

One-stop endovenous laser ablation leads to superior outcomes for varicose veins and iliac vein compression.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, 210009, China.
To retrospectivly investigate the short-term clinical outcomes of one-stop and two-staged endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) procedures for treatment of varicose veins (VVs) and iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). In this study, 424 patients were treated for VVs and IVCS from June 2017 to June 2020, 91 underwent one-stop stent angioplasty (SA) and EVLA, 132 underwent two-staged SA and EVLA, 104 underwent one-stop balloon angioplasty (BA) and EVLA, and 97 underwent two-staged BA and EVLA. Clinical outcomes and complications were recorded at 3 and 12 months post-intervention.

Background: There exists clinical equipoise regarding whether and when an invasive approach should be preferred over conservative treatment in the management of stable late ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting within 12 to 72 h of symptom onset.
Objective: To perform a systematic review to identify the most effective treatment strategy between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and medical therapy in stable late STEMI presenters by comparing their respective outcomes as well as determine the optimal timing of PCI by evaluating the outcomes of urgent versus non-urgent PCI approach in this patient population.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were queried from inception until March 2024 for studies comparing the outcomes of PCI versus medical therapy, as well as urgent versus non-urgent PCI, in stable late STEMI patients presenting with symptom onset within 12-72 h.
Precise diagnosis and effective management of highly vascular anterior mediastinal paragangliomas: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Department of Thoracic surgery, National University Hospital, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Introduction: Mediastinal paragangliomas are rare neoplasms arising from extra-adrenal neural crest cells, presenting as either functional or nonfunctional tumors. Clinical manifestations range from catecholamine-related symptoms to physical compression effects. Accurate recognition of these tumors is crucial for diagnosis and management due to their rarity and association with vital mediastinal structures.

Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and role of lymphadenectomy in hypervascular intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) quantified using the arterial phase of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).
Methods: Consecutive patients with mass-forming (MF) or predominantly MF type ICC who underwent surgical resection from 2000 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Using the image of the late arterial phase, CT-vascularity was calculated by dividing the CT value of the tumor (Hounsfield units) with that of the liver parenchyma.

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm characterised by proliferation of vascular endothelial and pre-endothelial cells. The prevalence is less than one in a million people. It is principally observed in the soft tissues of the extremities but can also occur in the bone, brain, liver, lung and lymph nodes.
