Low and oscillatory wall shear stress (WSS) has long been hypothesized as a risk factor for atherosclerosis; however, evidence inferred primarily from model post-mortem studies, or clinical studies of patients with already-developed plaques. This study aimed to identify associations between local haemodynamic imaging markers early atherosclerosis. Comprehensive magnetic resonance allowed quantification contrast enhancement (CE) (a marker endothelial dysfunction) vessel thickness at two...
Increasing evidence suggests that the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with FUN14 domain protein 1 (FUNDC1)-mediated mitophagy. Recently, studies have reported puerarin has protective effects against excessive oxidative damage in cells. Therefore, we hypothesized may be involved COPD progression via regulating FUNDC1 mediated We found viability cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-stimulated human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) was enhanced and...
With the development of society, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common respiratory disease, suffers an increasing incidence. To explore correlation between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and combined with hypertension (COPD-PH), total 112 COPD patients admitted to our hospital from July 2017 December 2020 were analyzed prospectively, which 57 PH enrolled in research group other 55 without...
