YBX1, a DNA-/RNA-binding protein, is implicated in various diseases, yet its role in intimal hyperplasia (IH) remains unclear. This study investigates YBX1's function in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) through knockdown experiments. Results show that YBX1 knockdown reduces cell proliferation and migration while inducing apoptosis. ELISA and western blot analyses revealed increased levels of the anti-inflammatory factor IL10 and markers for phenotypic transformation, Calponin and Myocardin. Transcriptome sequencing identified 1598 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 347 upregulated and 1251 downregulated. Upregulated DEGs were linked to pathways like ECM-receptor interaction and Wnt signalling, while downregulated genes involved cell cycle and p53 signalling. Additionally, 629 significant alternative splicing events were noted, primarily affecting pathways related to cell division and migration. Integrated analysis of YBX1-bound RNAs and RNA-seq data highlighted key DEGs, such as CCNB1 and TPM1, which are crucial for vascular cell behaviour. This study underscores YBX1's vital role in RASMCs and suggests potential therapeutic targets for IH treatment.

The DynamX Bioadaptor (Elixir Medical Corporation) is a novel coronary artery scaffold consisting of 3 helical strands connected by a bioabsorbable polymer. After 6 months, the polymer dissolves, restoring the physiological motion of the coronary artery as the interconnected (caged) structure of the scaffold disengages. Here we report the cases of 2 patients treated with the Bioadaptor who underwent intravascular imaging at the time of the index procedure and during follow-up periods of 30 and 36 months, respectively.

Both thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and malignant hypertension (MHT) present with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Combination therapy with caplacizumab, anti-von Willebrand factor (VWF) A1 domain antibody, and plasma exchange (PE) has recently been highlighted as a novel therapeutic option for TTP. We treated a 51-year-old woman who showed severe hypertension, retinopathy, and acute kidney injury.

During interventional surgeries of implantable cardiovascular devices in addressing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the inevitable tissue damage will trigger host inflammation and vascular lumen injury, leading to delayed re-endothelization and intimal hyperplasia. Endowing cardiovascular implants with anti-inflammatory and endothelialization functions is conducive to the target site, offering significant tissue repair and regeneration benefits. Herein, inspired by the snake's molting process, a ShedWise device was developed by using the poly(propylene fumarate) polyurethane (PPFU) as the foundational material, which was clicked with hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) and followed by conjugation with pro-endothelial functional Arg-Glu-Asp-Val peptide (REDV), and finally coated with a "self-sacrificing" layer having reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability and degradability.

Background: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is an accelerated form of coronary artery disease (CAD) that is characterized by concentric fibrous intimal hyperplasia along the length of coronary vessels, and is recognized as long-term complication after heart transplantation. The chromosomal loci 9p21, 6q25.1, and 2q36.
