Although many studies have been conducted to explore the relationship between mast cells (MC) and angiogenesis, comparison of this relationship with tumor necrosis has not been investigated to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, the relationship between MC and neovascularization in stomach, lung and ovarian malignant epithelial tumors (165 cases) in necrotizing or non-necrotizing cases was explored in this study. We immunohistochemically studied anti-mast cell tryptase antibody for MC and anti-CD34 antibody for vascular structures. MCs in the intra- tumoral and peritumoral fields, as well as vascular structures with luminal and monocellular appearances in the intratumoral field, were counted in each sample. Ten magnification fields were analyzed for each sample. In stomach and lung cases, the non-necrotizing group exhibited a greater number of MC and vascular structures in total. In ovarian cases, more MCs were counted overall in the necrotizing group, but there were fewer vascular structures. The increase in the number of MC and vascular structures in lungs and stomach in the non-necrotizing group supports the theory that MCs are involved in tumor progression. Necrosis, which can be induced on the basis of restricted neovascularization through inhibition of MCs in lung and stomach tumors, may be a treatment method.

Fabricating complex hierarchical structures mimicking natural vessels and arteries is pivotal for addressing problems of cardiovascular diseases. Various fabrication strategies have been explored to achieve this goal, each contributing unique advantages and challenges to the development of functional vascular grafts. In this study, a three-layered tubular structure resembling vascular grafts was fabricated using biocompatible and biodegradable copolymers of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) using advanced manufacturing techniques.

Background: Despite advancements in valve implantation devices, vascular access complications (VAC) remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for those undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe pre-operative imaging analysis of the aortoiliac and femoral arterial beds using the TransAtlantic intersociety consensus (TASC) score, ilio-femoral tortuosity, and procedural characteristics to identify anatomic risk factors predictive of VAC in TAVR.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing TAVR from 2012 to 2022 at a single North Dakota hospital were retrospectively reviewed.

Lymphangiomas are localized multi-cystic malformations of the lymphatic and vascular system, primarily affecting the head and neck regions in children. Orbital lymphangiomas are not considered hamartomas because the orbit does not commonly display lymphatic vessels. In this case report, we describe a male patient who was 15 years old and presented to our medical facility with the primary complaints of having a bulging left eye, sudden chemosis of the lower conjunctiva, and pain in the left eye.

Background: We investigated the effects of C-reactive protein (CRP) deposition on the vessel walls in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by analyzing spatially resolved changes in gene expression. Our aim was to elucidate the pathways that contribute to disease progression.
Methods: AAA specimens from surgically resected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were categorized into the AAA-high CRP [serum CRP ≥ 0.
