Objectives: Red blood cell microparticles (RBCm) have potential adverse vascular effects and they have been shown to be elevated in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The purpose of this study is to investigate their relationship with biochemical infarct size.
Methods: RBCm were quantified with flow cytometry in blood drawn from 60 STEMI patients after a primary angioplasty. The creatine kinase-myocardial brain fraction (CK-MB) was measured at predefined time points and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.
Results: RBCm count was correlated with CK-MB AUC (Spearman's ρ = 0.83, p < 0.001). The CK-MB AUC values per RBCm quartile (lower to upper) were: 3,351 (2,452-3,608), 5,005 (4,450-5,424), 5,903 (4,862-10,594), and 8,406 (6,848-12,782) ng × h/ml, respectively. From lower to upper quartiles, the maximal troponin I values were: 42.2 (23.3-49.3), 49.6 (28.8-54.1), 59.2 (41.4-77.3), and 69.1 (48.0-77.5) ng/ml (p = 0.005). In multivariable analysis, RBCm remained a significant predictor of CK-MB AUC (standardized β = 0.63, adjusted p = 0.001).
Conclusions: Erythrocyte microparticles appear to be related to the total myocardial damage biomarker output. The exact pathophysiologic routes, if any, for this interaction remain to be identified. However, these results suggest that erythrocytes may be a - thus far virtually ignored - player in the pathogenesis of ischemic injury.

Department of Cardiology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, 610041 Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Patients with a high risk of bleeding undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI-HBR) were provided consensus-based criteria by the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR). However, the prognostic predictors in this group of patients have yet to be fully explored. Thus, an effective prognostic prediction model for PCI-HBR patients is required.

Purpose: This study investigated the association between diabetes and Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC), focusing on how changes in inflammatory response and cardiac function influence SIC prognosis. The aim is to provide clinicians with more accurate treatment and management strategies, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 258 Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) patients, stratified by diabetes status and HbA1C levels.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the changes in gut microbiota and its metabolites in different pathophysiological stages of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced heart failure (DIHF) and the relationship between gut microbiota and metabolites in various degrees of DIHF.
Materials And Methods: C57BL/6 J mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5 mg/kg of DOX once a week for 5 consecutive weeks. At different times after injection, the cardiac function and histopathological analysis was conducted, the serum levels of creatine kinase (CK), CK-MB, lactic dehydrogenase, and cardiac troponin T were determined.

Article Synopsis
- Interest in how plant-based diets affect the gut microbiome is increasing, but there's limited research on how different diet patterns (omnivore, vegetarian, vegan) impact microbiome profiles across various populations.
- A study involving over 21,000 individuals found that gut microbiome profiles can effectively differentiate between these diet patterns, with a mean accuracy of 85%.
- Key findings show that omnivore microbiomes are heavily influenced by red meat consumption, which is linked to negative health markers, while vegan microbiomes are associated with healthier outcomes and overlap with specific food and soil microbes.

Objective: To analyze the diagnostic effect of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and its relationship with disease severity.
Subjects And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of 31 IIM patients treated in our hospital from April 2020 to April 2024, who were included in the lesion group. Additionally, 30 patients without muscle disease during the same period were selected as the control group.
