Objectives: Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) save countless acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. However, endothelial injury is still an inevitable complication. Circulating microparticles (MPs) play important roles in vascular dysfunction. Whether PCI affects function of MPs remains unclear.
Methods: MPs were obtained from AMI patients (n = 38) both preoperatively and 24 h after PCI, and healthy subjects (n = 20). MPs origins were tested by flow cytometry. Rat thoracic aortas were incubated with MPs to determine the effects of MPs on phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), caveolin-1 expression, eNOS association with heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), generation of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O2), and endothelial-dependent vasodilatation.
Results: Compared with healthy subjects, MP concentrations increased in AMI patients. Undergoing PCI had no further effect on MPs concentration, but it results in increased endothelial-derived MPs proportion and decreased platelet-derived MP ratio. MPs from AMI patients decreased eNOS phosphorylation at Ser1177, increased eNOS phosphorylation at T495 and caveolin-1 expression, decreased eNOS association with Hsp90, decreased NO production but increased (O2) generation, damaged endothelial-dependent vasodilatation. All of these effects of MPs were strengthened by PCI.
Conclusions: PCI further enhances the vascular injury effect of MPs. Circulating MPs may be a potential therapeutic target for patients undergoing PCI.

Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a clinical disorder with unknown pathogenesis with an incidence between 0.03% and 1% in women affected by cutaneous/scar endometriosis. We investigated the pathological, molecular cytogenetic and cell proliferation features of a primary AWE developed in rectus abdominis muscle in a patient without co-existing pelvic endometriosis.

: Thanks to the evolution of laboratory medicine, point-of-care testing (POCT) for troponin levels in the blood (hs-cTn) has been greatly improved in order to quickly diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with an accuracy similar to standard laboratory tests. The rationale of the HEART POCT study is to propose the application of the 0/1 h European Society of Cardiology (ESC) algorithm in the pre-hospital setting using a POCT device (Atellica VTLi). : This is a prospective study comparing patients who underwent pre-hospital point-of-care troponin testing (Atellica VTLi) with a control group that underwent standard hospital-based troponin testing (Elecsys).

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and cervical spondylosis (CS) are both common diseases, yet differentiation between the two is sometimes necessary. However, there are few evidence-based reviews on the differentiation of these conditions. This review examined the literature on the diagnosis of CTS and CS, focusing on how to distinguish between them.

In this research, we explored the relationship between the AIP and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing PCI. A total of 2533 consecutive patients who underwent PCI were included in this retrospective cohort study, and the data from 2098 patients were used. AIP is calculated based on the log (triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol).

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with well-established metabolic risk factors, especially hyperlipidemia and obesity. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (mIRI) significantly offsets the therapeutic efficacy of revascularization. Previous studies indicated that disrupted lipid homeostasis can lead to lipid peroxidation damage and inflammation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
