Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Foliar water uptake has recently been suggested as a possible mechanism for the restoration of hydraulically dysfunctional xylem vessels. In this paper we used a combination of ecophysiological measurements, X-ray microcomputed tomography and cryo-scanning electron microscopy during a drought treatment to fully evaluate this hypothesis.
Key Results: Based on an assessment of these methods in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) seedlings we were able to (1) confirm an increase in the amount of hydraulically redistributed water absorbed by leaves when the soil water potential decreased, and (2) locate this redistributed water in hydraulically active vessels in the stem. However, (3) no embolism repair was observed irrespective of the organ under investigation (i.e. stem, petiole or leaf) or the intensity of drought.
Conclusions: Our data provide evidence for a hydraulic pathway from the leaf surface to the stem xylem following a water potential gradient, but this pathway exists only in functional vessels and does not play a role in embolism repair for beech.

The association of statin therapy with reduced intracranial aneurysm recurrence after endovascular coiling: a post hoc propensity score-matched analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

Objective: Endovascular intracranial aneurysm (IA) management has significantly evolved over the last 2 decades. Despite these advancements, the aneurysm recanalization rate after coil embolization remains a concern. Statins have been found to affect vascular repair and remodeling; therefore, the authors hypothesized that patients receiving statin therapy at the time of coil embolization would have lower aneurysm recurrence and retreatment rates compared with patients not receiving statin therapy.

This study explores the reparative effect of Qixiong Zuogui Compound Prescription(QXZG) intervention on the blood-brain barrier(BBB) in the aging brain with middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) in rats mediated by bone marrow stem cells(BMSCs)-derived exosomes, as well as its anti-aging mechanism. An aging MCAO composite model was established using D-galactose-induced aging combined with line embolism. Rats were divided into young sham surgery group, aging sham surgery group, model group, exosome group, and exosome with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) intervention group.

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) pseudoaneurysm with superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula (SMAVF) is a rare pathology associated with high rates of rupture and mortality. Known interventions for the treatment of SMA pseudoaneurysm with SMAVF include open repair or endovascular repair with coil embolization or covered stenting. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first of physician-modified endograft for the treatment of SMA pseudoaneurysm with SMAVF after prior thrombosis, ligation, and coil embolization of the SMA.

Isolated superior mesenteric dissection (ISMAD) is an uncommon condition, often diagnosed incidentally for presentations of acute abdominal pain. Early identification and treatment are crucial as complications such as bowel ischemia or vessel rupture can occur. There remain no established treatment guidelines, making surgical and endovascular indications controversial.
