Objective: Whether patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and significant functional mitral regurgitation (MR) should undergo isolated aortic (aortic valve replacement [AVR]) or double aortic-mitral valve procedure (DVP) remains controversial. We sought to determine outcomes of such patients undergoing surgical (surgical aortic valve replacement [SAVR]) and transcatheter AVR (TAVR) or DVP, identify echocardiographic parameters predictive of significant residual MR after isolated AVR, and determine its impact on long-term survival.
Methods: Data prospectively collected from 736 consecutive patients with severe AS and significant MR undergoing AVR or DVP were retrospectively analyzed. Exclusion of organic MR, other valve diseases and concomitant CABG yielded a final population of 74 patients with significant functional MR (32 TAVR, 23 SAVR, 19 DVP). Demographics, postoperative complications and age-adjusted survival were compared. Echocardiographic predictors of significant residual MR and its impact on survival were analyzed for patients undergoing isolated AVR.
Results: In the isolated AVR group, MR improvement occurred in 60% of patients and was associated with a significant increase in survival compared to persistence of significant MR (p = .03). Patients with improved MR had significantly greater preoperative left ventricular dilatation (LVEDD: 49 vs. 43 mm, p = .001; LVESD: 35 vs. 29 mm, p = .03; LVEDV: 101 vs. 71 ml, p = .0003; LVESV: 57 vs. 33 ml, p = .002). There was no significant difference in perioperative mortality (5.3 vs. 4.4 vs. 9.4%, p = .85) or age-adjusted long-term survival between isolated AVR and DVP groups (76.3 vs. 84.2% survival at 2-year follow-up, p = .26), or between SAVR, TAVR and DVP groups (78.2 vs. 75.0 vs. 84.2% survival at 2-year follow-up, p = .13).
Conclusions: After isolated AVR, MR improvement occurs in 60% of patients. It is predicted by greater ventricular dimensions and associated with significantly better long-term survival. Whether a staged approach with transcatheter correction of MR should be considered in patients with significant residual MR following AVR remains undetermined.

Barnyard grass is one of the most serious rice weeds, often growing near paddy fields and therefore potentially serving as a bridging host for the rice blast fungus. In this study, we isolated three fungal strains from diseased barnyard grass leaves in a rice field. Using a pathogenicity assay, we confirmed that they were capable of causing blast symptoms on barnyard grass and rice leaves to various extents.

The avirulence (AVR) genes of Magnaporthe oryzae are pivotal in eliciting resistance responses in rice, which are mediated by resistance (R) genes in rice. Monitoring the variation of AVR genes in the pathogen is essential for strategically deploying R genes in rice cultivation regions. In this study, a total of 214 isolates were collected from Jiangxi Province, China, in 2022, and the distribution and variation of AVR genes in these isolates were analyzed by PCR amplification and sequencing.

Introduction Aortic valve replacement (AVR) for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis is a commonly performed procedure, yielding excellent long-term outcomes. Comparing a mini sternotomy with a conventional sternotomy is essential to evaluate less invasive options that can improve patient recovery and reduce postoperative complications. This insight supports surgical decision-making for better AVR patient outcomes.

Aim: Mitral valve repair (MVr) is associated with more favourable long-term outcomes than mitral valve replacement (MVR) in cases of isolated mitral valve disease suitable for repair. However, there is debate regarding whether the superiority of MVr extends to patients with concomitant aortic and mitral valve disease. Therefore, this meta-analysis was conducted to compare the survival benefits between aortic valve replacement (AVR) plus MVr with a double valve replacement (DVR).
