Vascular diseases seriously threaten human life and health. Exogenous delivery of nitric oxide (NO) represents an effective approach for maintaining vascular homeostasis during pathological events. However, the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at vascular injury sites would react with NO to produce damaging peroxynitrite (ONOO) species and limit the therapeutic effect of NO. Hence, we design a ROS-responsive NO nanomedicine (t-PBA&NO NP) with ROS scavenging ability to solve the dilemma of NO-based therapy. t-PBA&NO NP targets NO and anti-oxidant ethyl caffeate (ECA) to the injury sites via collagen IV homing peptide. The ROS-triggered ROS depletion and ECA release potently alleviate local oxidative stress via ROS scavenging, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial regulation. It subsequently maximizes vascular modulation effects of NO, without production of harmful compounds, reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Therefore, it significantly increases competitiveness of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) over human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) both in vitro and in vivo. The strategy proved effective in inducing faster re-endothelialization, inhibiting neointimal formation and restoring vascular homeostasis. The synergy between ROS depletion and NO therapy served as a new inspiration for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and other ROS-associated illnesses.

This study presents a web application for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension (HTN) among mine workers using machine learning (ML) techniques. The dataset, collected from 699 participants at the Gol-Gohar mine in Iran between 2016 and 2020, includes demographic, occupational, lifestyle, and medical information. After preprocessing and feature engineering, the Random Forest algorithm was identified as the best-performing model, achieving 99% accuracy for HTN prediction and 97% for CVD, outperforming other algorithms such as Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machines.

Triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and major adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients undergoing PCI.

Sci Rep

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Frigid Zone Cardiovascular Disease, Cardiovascular Research Institute, Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Shenyang, 110016, China.

The triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been consistently linked with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of studies focusing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or experiencing bleeding events. The study encompassed 17,643 ACS participants who underwent PCI.

Fast and sensitive multivalent spatial pattern-recognition for circular RNA detection.

Nat Commun

December 2024

Department of Pharmacology, Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Critical Care Medicine, School of Medicine, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.

While circular RNAs (circRNAs) exhibit lower abundance compared to corresponding linear RNAs, they demonstrate potent biological functions. Nevertheless, challenges arise from the low concentration and distinctive structural features of circRNAs, rendering existing methods operationally intricate and less sensitive. Here, we engineer an intelligent tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF) possessing precise spatial pattern-recognition properties with exceptional sensing speed and sensitivity for circRNAs.

The mechanism(s) underlying gut microbial metabolite (GMM) contribution towards alcohol-mediated cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unknown. Herein we observe elevation in circulating phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln), a known CVD-associated GMM, in individuals living with alcohol use disorder. In a male murine binge-on-chronic alcohol model, we confirm gut microbial reorganization, elevation in PAGln levels, and the presence of cardiovascular pathophysiology.
