In experiments on normotensive baboons of both sex the vascular reactivity on angiotensin II and noradrenaline was studied after an 18-week administration of DOCA (2 mg/b.w./week i. m.) and of common sal (5 g/day with meals). Dosage and duration of DOCA administration was chosen to prevent hypertensive haemodynamic alterations. 40 to 240 seconds after an angiotensin II injection (0.5 micrograms/kg b.w.) the pressor, especially diastolic response in both narcotized and non-narcotized animals intensified markedly. Infusion of noradrenaline (1.0 micrograms/kg b.w./min for 5 min) called forth after 120 min a significant rise in diastolic BP. Described abnormal pressor response is considered to represent a suitable model of a vascular predisposition to hypertension.

Ischemic stroke is the most common cerebrovascular disease and the leading cause of permanent disability worldwide. Recent studies have shown that stroke development and prognosis are closely related to abnormal tryptophan metabolism. Here, significant downregulation of 3-hydroxy-kynurenamine (3-HKA) in stroke patients and animal models is identified.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury increases myocardial microvascular permeability, leading to enhanced microvascular filtration and interstitial fluid accumulation that is associated with greater microvascular obstruction and inadequate myocardial perfusion. A burst of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory mediators during reperfusion causes myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)-dependent endothelial hyperpermeability, which is considered a preventable cause of reperfusion injury. In the present study, a single intravenous injection of MLCK peptide inhibitor PIK7 (2.

Doxorubicin is a highly effective anticancer agent, but its clinical use is restricted by severe side effects, including atherosclerosis and cardiomyopathy. These complications are partly attributed to doxorubicin's ability to induce endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in vascular endothelial cells, a critical process in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and cardiomyopathy. GV1001, a multifunctional peptide with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antioxidant, and anti-Alzheimer's properties, has demonstrated inhibition of EndMT.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to develop and validate a high-risk model for Arteriovenous Fistula Thrombosis (AVFT) in patients undergoing autogenous arteriovenous fistula surgery for hemodialysis.

Methods: Retrospectively, we collected general information, clinical characteristics, laboratory examinations, and dialysis-related factors from a cohort of 1465 patients who received continuous arteriovenous fistula surgery at the Hemodialysis Access Center of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2019 and June 2022. The patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in a 2:1 ratio.
