Polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-block-polystyrene (SIS) has been used as biomaterials due to its soft and stable properties under physiological conditions. However, the thrombotic and inflammatory complications caused by SIS restrain its application as blood-contacting implant. To overcome this problem, the hydrophilic core-shell structured SIS-based microfiber with antioxidant encapsulation is fabricated with one-step reactive electrospinning. We demonstrate that the phase separation of SIS and acylated Pluronic F127 (F127-DA) components and crosslinking during electrospinning renders the microfiber blood compatible and stable under physiological condition; the encapsulation of 2-O-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) in microfiber and subsequent release of AA-2G detoxifies the excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). The microfibers are nontoxic to cells and promote the fast growth and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in the presence of ROS; the thrombotic and inflammatory complications are effectively reduced with implant evaluation . Therefore, our work paves a new way to improve the biocompatibility of SIS, making it a promising candidate for blood contact materials.

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonates (MIS-N) is a rare condition thought to be associated with prenatal exposure to maternal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This immune-mediated hyperinflammation has been described in neonates with multiorgan dysfunction, including cardiopulmonary, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, and vascular complications. However, renovascular complications in MIS-N are rare.

Background: Understanding the association of tobacco product use with subclinical markers is essential in evaluating health effects to inform regulatory policy. This is particularly relevant for noncigarette products (eg, cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco), which have been understudied because of their low prevalence in individual cohort studies.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 98 450 participants from the Cross-Cohort Collaboration-Tobacco data set.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial myopathy are recognized contributors to cardiovascular morbidity, particularly ischemic stroke. AF poses an elevated risk of thrombogenesis due to irregular heart rhythm leading to blood stasis and clot formation. Atrial myopathy, marked by structural and functional alterations in the atria, is emerging as a crucial factor influencing thromboembolic events, independently of AF.

Cardiovascular complications claim the lives of up to 70% of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The mechanisms increasing cardiovascular risk in DM remain to be fully understood and successfully addressed. Nonetheless, there is increasing evidence in the scientific literature of the participation of platelets in the cardiovascular complications of DM.

Platelet aggregation and inflammation play a crucial role in atherothrombosis. Wine contains micro-constituents of proper quality and quantity that exert cardioprotective actions, partly through inhibiting platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent inflammatory and thrombotic lipid mediator. However, wine cannot be consumed extensively due to the presence of ethanol.
