It has been proposed that bone marrow contributes to the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis. Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is expressed in bone marrow stromal cells; it is also present in peripheral blood and ischemic coronary arteries. We hypothesized that bone marrow-derived NGFR-positive (NGFR) cells regulate arterial remodeling.

Loss of Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). BAG3 regulates sarcomere protein turnover in cardiomyocytes; however, the function of BAG3 in other cardiac cell types is understudied. In this study, we used an isogenic pair of BAG3-knockout and wild-type human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to interrogate the role of BAG3 in hiPSC-derived cardiac fibroblasts (CFs).

Background And Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction, leading to disrupted sleep and various health complications. Positional OSA (POSA) refers to patients whose OSA severity is significantly influenced by body position, especially when lying supine. This study aimed to evaluate the polysomnographic characteristics of POSA and non-positional OSA (non-POSA) and to assess their clinical implications.

The close interaction of mitochondrial fission and mitophagy, two crucial mechanisms, is key in the progression of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. However, the upstream regulatory mechanisms governing these processes remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate a marked elevation in Nr4a1 expression following myocardial IR injury, which is associated with impaired cardiac function, heightened cardiomyocyte apoptosis, exacerbated inflammatory responses, and endothelial dysfunction.

Background: Surgical treatment of functional single ventricle combined with atrioventricular valve regurgitation remains a clinical challenge. The outcomes of atrioventricular valve repair in patients with single ventricle are limited.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted of all 28 patients with functional single ventricle treated with single-ventricle palliation who underwent atrioventricular valve operation at the First Hospital of Tsinghua University between April 2007 and October 2022.
