Introduction: Sodium Glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) possess pleiotropic effects, such as antioxidant, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular remodeling activities. Considering the lack of literature, a network meta-analysis was conducted to explore the impact of SGLT2is on endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in the diabetic population.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched to identify randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of SGLT2is on outcomes, such as Flow-mediated Vasodilation (FMV), Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), and Augmentation Index (AIx).

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) on vascular luminal dilatational remodeling (VLDR) following simple balloon angioplasty.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from patients diagnosed with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), who were treated exclusively with balloon angioplasty at Henan Provincial People's Hospital between June 2019 and April 2023. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) was used to create balanced cohorts of patients who underwent drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCBA) and plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA).

Vascular occlusive diseases remain a major health burden worldwide, necessitating a deeper understanding of the adaptive responses that mitigate their impact. Arteriogenesis, the growth and remodeling of collateral vessels in response to arterial occlusion, is a vital defense mechanism that counteracts fluid shear stress-induced vascular stenosis or occlusion. While physical factors driving arteriogenesis have been extensively studied, the specific cellular mediators involved are poorly understood.

Atherosclerotic lesions develop preferentially in arterial regions exposed to disturbed blood flow, where endothelial cells acquire an inflammatory phenotype. How disturbed flow induces endothelial cell inflammation is incompletely understood. Here we show that histone H3.

A couple of S100 family proteins (S100s) have been reported to exert pro-inflammatory functions in the progression of renal fibrosis (RF). Unlike some S100s which are expressed by both epithelial and stromal inflammatory cells, S100A7 is restricted expressed in epithelium. Persistent S100A7 expression occurs in some invasive carcinomas and is associated with poor prognostic factors.
