Doxorubicin (Dox), an anthracycline antibiotic with potent antitumor effects, has limited clinical applications due to cumulative cardiotoxicity. Ca2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is implicated in the pathological progression of Dox-induced This study examined hypothesis that CaMKII exacerbates cardiotoxicity by promoting endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis through regulation inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)/spliced X-box binding 1 (XBP1s) pathway. Our results...
Abstract Although reperfusion is the most effective therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction, injury limits therapeutic effects of early reperfusion. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Melatonin, circulating hormone, well‐known as an antioxidant cardiovascular diseases. In this short communication, we show that melatonin significantly improves post‐ischaemic cardiac function, reduces infarct size and decreases oxidative stress....
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a chronic microvascular complication of diabetes that generally defined as ventricular dysfunction occurring in patients with and unrelated to known causes. Several mechanisms have been proposed contribute the occurrence persistence DCM, which oxidative stress autophagy play non-negligible role. involved variety physiological pathological processes. The 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (AMPK/Nrf2)...
This study was designed to investigate whether berbamine (BA)-induced cardioprotective effects were related 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related (Nrf2) signaling and changes in the mitochondria myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. C57/BL6 mice exposed BA (10 mg/kg/d), with or without administration of AMPK specific inhibitor compound C (5 mg/kg/d) Nrf2 ML-385 (30 then subjected a I/R operation. As expected, significantly...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrythmia managed in clinical practice. Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute occurrence and persistence of AF, which oxidative stress plays a non-negligible role. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) involved variety physiological pathological processes. Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) cannabinoid 2 (CB2R) are expressed heart, studies shown that activating CB2R has protective effect on myocardium. However, role AF unknown.Angiotensin II...
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital malformation that can present with regurgitation or stenosis (AS)), requiring surgical treatment. Transcatheter replacement (TAVR) an alternative treatment for older patients and its prognosis QAV therapy remains challenging. We sought to examine our early experience TAVR in QAV.Prospectively collected data were retrospectively reviewed undergoing institution.Five AR AS treated between January 2016 2022. The mean age was 73.8 years (range...
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to review the experiences with transcatheter closure mitral PVL after surgical valve replacement. Background. Transcatheter paravalvular leak (PVL) is an intricate alternative closure. But it represents one most procedures in field structural heart interventions, especially for patients PVL. Methods. From January 2015 through 2019, 35 replacement underwent We reviewed catheter techniques, perioperative characteristics, and prognosis. median follow-up...
Abstract This study was designed to explore the role of RIP3 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and its underlying molecular mechanisms.Ourresults demonstrate that exacerbates DOX-inducedcardiotoxicity through promoting oxidative stress pyroptosis by regulating AKT/Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) pathway. Inhibition using GSK-872 attenuated cardiac remodeling contractile dysfunction. Moreover, vivo , results revealed inhibition alleviated resulting pyroptosis. Besides, increased...
Our goal was to assess the implant depth of a Venus-A prosthesis during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) when areas eccentric calcification were distributed in different sections valve.A total 53 patients with who underwent TAVR from January 2018 November 2019 retrospectively analyzed. The divided into three groups (A, B, and C) according location calcification, which determined by preprocedural computerized tomography angiography (CTA) images. release process position evaluated...

Background Closure of a percutaneous paravalvular leak (PVL) is technically challenging procedure because the specific anatomy postoperatively and complex catheter techniques required. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) three-dimensional (3D) printing might be helpful in identifying anatomical structures procedural design. Objectives The purpose this study was to review our experiences with transcatheter closure PVL guided by TEE 3D (TEE&amp;3D) printing. Methods A total 166 patients...
Background: Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a highly reactive compound produced by lipid-peroxidation in situations associated with oxidative stress. MDA can irreversibly modify proteins residues such as lysine, arginine and histidine. In addition, adducts further react acetaldehyde to generate malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) modifications. Such modifications give rise immunogenic neo-epitopes that are recognized autoantibodies. fact, anti-MDA/MAA IgG antibodies significantly increased the serum...
Abstract Background Our goal was to determine the accuracy of 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) compared with that computed tomography (CT) in preoperative evaluation for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) when errors caused by inconsistent software and method have been eliminated representativeness sample has improved. We also investigated influence root calcification on 3D-TEE annulus evaluations. Methods Part I: 45 233 patients who underwent TAVR...
