Article Abstract
The present study was undertaken in order to measure the effect of hyperosmotic solutions on portal and hepatic blood flow. In five anaesthetized pigs without arterial blood supply to the liver, portal blood flow rate was measured (electromagnetic flowmeter) during 5 min lasting intravenous infusions of hyperosmotic galactose (50%, 84-100 ml) and mannitol (25%, 100 ml), with physiological saline (100 ml) as control. Portal blood flow increased to a peak value of (39% [P = 0.06] galactose and 37%, [P = 0.06], mannitol) soon after stop of the hyperosmotic infusion. For galactose the change ended somewhat earlier than for mannitol. Saline induced a minor increase (15%). Similarly, increments of, on average, 144% of the hepatic blood flow rate was seen in six patients with cirrhosis, following infusion of hyperosmotic galactose, the increase being more pronounced than in the pigs. The causes for these osmotic effects are not known, but they have to be taken into consideration in studies of the portal and hepatic blood flow.

Cytoskeletal remodeling and mitochondrial bioenergetics play important roles in thrombocytopoiesis and platelet function. Recently, α-actinin-1 mutations have been reported in patients with congenital macrothrombocytopenia. However, the role and underlying mechanism of α-actinin-1 in thrombocytopoiesis and platelet function remain elusive.

Introduction: Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable deaths in trauma patients, resulting in 1.5 million deaths annually worldwide. Traditional trauma assessment follows the ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) sequence; evidence suggests the CAB (circulation, airway, breathing) approach to maintain perfusion and prevent hypotension.

Background: The challenges associated with traditional drug screening, such as high costs and long screening times, have led to an increase in the use of single-cell isolation technologies. Small sample volumes are required for high-throughput, cell-based assays to reduce assay costs and enable rapid sample processing. Using microfluidic chips, single-cell analysis can be conducted more effectively, requiring fewer reagents and maintaining biocompatibility.

Little is known about the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on atherosclerosis. We aimed to determine if a 90-day intake of Dapagliflozin could improve atherosclerosis biomarkers (namely endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated dilatation [FMD] and carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) in diabetic and non-diabetic acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients when initiated in the early in-hospital phase. ATH-SGLT2i was a prospective, single-center, observational trial that included 113 SGLT2i naive patients who were admitted for ACS and who were prescribed Dapagliflozin at a fixed dose of 10 mg during their hospital stay for either type 2 diabetes or for heart failure.
