Electron microscopic investigation of the rabbit [correction of rat] thoracic aorta revealed endothelium to be most vulnerable to the damage in experimental hypercholesterolemia. Administration of precursor of nitric oxide L-arginine against the background of hypercholesterolemia resulted in activation of functional activity of the endothelium of aorta. This notion is supported by an increase of the quantity of protein-synthesizing structures (ribosomes, polysomes, canaliculi of endoplasmic network), secretory granules vs rabbits on atherogenic diet. At stimulation of NO-synthase activity of endothelium the dilatory reactions of aortal strips to acetylcholine are improved.

Background: V617F-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) exhibit abnormal proliferation of bone marrow progenitors and increased risk of thrombosis, specifically in splanchnic veins (SVT). The contribution of the endothelium to the development of the prothrombotic phenotype was explored.
Material And Methods: Plasma and serum samples from V617F MPN patients with (n=26) or without (n=7) thrombotic debut and different treatments, were obtained (n=33).

Dengue virus (DENV) poses a considerable threat to public health on a global scale, since about two-thirds of the world's population is currently at risk of contracting this arbovirus. Being transmitted by mosquitoes, this virus is associated with a range of illnesses and a small percentage of infected individuals might suffer from severe vascular leakage. This leakage leads to hypovolemic shock syndrome, generally known as dengue shock syndrome, organ failure, and bleeding complications.

Platelets are hyperactive in patients with type2 diabetes (T2DM), they adhere to vascular endothelium and play a key role in macrovascular complications. Platelets activity can be measured by flow-cytometry (cluster of differentiation (CD) 41, CD 42, CD 62, CD 63), which allows detection of surface antigens in a sensitive and specific manner. This study aimed to describe platelets activity in T2DM in association with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications in relation to duration of diabetes (DM).

Preserving the balance of metabolic processes in endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), is crucial for optimal vascular function and integrity. ECs are metabolically active and depend on aerobic glycolysis to efficiently produce energy for their essential functions, which include regulating vascular tone. Impaired EC metabolism is linked to endothelial damage, increased permeability and inflammation.

Objective: Inflammation drives cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Treatment with tofacitinib, a JAK1/JAK3 inhibitor, is associated with increased cardiovascular events in patients with RA. Here, we determined its effects on cytokine production during interactions between immune cells at the synovial and vascular levels and its impact on endothelial activation and coagulation during inflammation.
