Article Abstract
Proximal control of the thoracic aorta during the open repair of thoracoabdominal aorta can be challenging. Various techniques have been developed to address these challenges, including the use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and staged procedures such as the conventional as well as frozen elephant trunk procedures. This paper is a brief review of the challenges and rationale behind some approaches.

Biogenesis of membrane-bound organelles involves the synthesis, remodeling, and degradation of their constituent phospholipids. How these pathways regulate organelle size remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that a lipid-degradation pathway inhibits expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrosing interstitial pneumonia with restrictive ventilation. Recently, the structural and functional defects of small airways have received attention in the early pathogenesis of IPF. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of small airway epithelial dysfunction in patients with IPF and explore novel therapeutic interventions to impede IPF progression by targeting the dysfunctional small airways.

Background: Tubular injury triggered by hyperglycemia is an important pathological characteristic in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Accumulated advanced glycation end products and their precursor methylglyoxal (MGO), contribute to the development of DN. Carnosine has been shown to prevent the development of DN but the underlying mechanism still needs to be studied in depth.

Background: Glial cells exhibit distinct transcriptional responses to β-amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While sophisticated single-cell based methods have revealed heterogeneous glial subpopulations in the human AD brain, the histological localization of these multicellular responses to AD pathology has not been fully characterized due to the loss of spatial information. Here, we combined spatial transcriptomics (ST) with immunohistochemistry to explore the molecular mechanisms in the neuritic plaque niche.

Background: Condensed extracellular matrix structures called perineuronal nets (PNNs) preferentially enwrap the soma and stabilize proximal synapses of parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons in the cortex, serving as a protective barrier against neurotoxins. While PNN structural integrity declines in the healthy aging brain, this reduction is exacerbated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the 5xFAD mouse model of amyloidosis, the elimination of microglia prevents reductions in PNN, suggesting microglia are responsible for the over-degradation of PNNs observed in AD.
