In this report, two cases of uterine smooth muscle cell tumors, one of uncertain malignant potential and one clearly malignant, are described in women treated for prolonged periods with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) analogues. Due to lengthy monitoring of LH-RH therapy, surgical intervention and histologic classification of these tumors was late in the course of disease, resulting in a delay in definite treatment. The risk to these women is discussed. The effects of LH-RH analogue therapy on fibroids is reviewed. Suggestions are put forward for monitoring LH-RH analogue therapy.

Neointimal hyperplasia, a pathological response to arterial interventions or injury, often leads to restenosis and recurrent narrowing or occlusion, particularly in the peripheral vasculature. Its prevalence and negative impact on the long-term success of vascular interventions have driven extensive research aimed at better understanding the condition and developing effective therapies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of emerging bioengineering strategies for treating neointimal hyperplasia in peripheral vessels.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe pulmonary vascular disease characterized by poor clinical outcomes and limited therapeutic options. Celastrol (CEL), a natural product derived from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, has shown therapeutic potential in PH models, although its mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the role of CEL in PH and explore its potential underlying mechanisms.

Protein kinase C (PKC) reportedly plays a role in the pathogenesis of many vascular dysfunction-related conditions. In this study, we investigated whether PKCβ is associated with vascular contractile changes induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) exposure. Long-term (24 h) treatment of rat aortae and mesenteric arteries in Ang II-containing culture medium enhanced 5-hydroxytrypatamine (5-HT)-induced vascular contraction in a dose-dependent manner, in association with enhanced phosphorylation of PKCβ S660.

Angiomyolipoma (AML), composed of smooth muscle cells, blood vessels, and adipose tissues, belongs to a family of tumors originating from perivascular epithelioid cells. Angiomyolipoma most commonly arises in the kidney but is extremely rare in the nasal cavity. Angiomyolipoma is classified into hepatorenal and mucocutaneous AML.
