Abstract Tremendous efforts have been made to improve diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19, but knowledge on long-term complications is limited. In particular, a large portion survivors has respiratory complications, currently, experienced radiologists state-of-the-art artificial intelligence systems are not able detect many abnormalities from follow-up computerized tomography (CT) scans COVID-19 survivors. Here we propose Deep-LungParenchyma-Enhancing (DLPE), computer-aided detection (CAD)...

Cardiovascular disease plays a central role in the electrical and structural remodeling of right atrium, predisposing to arrhythmias, heart failure, sudden death. Here, we dissect with single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) spatial transcriptomics gene expression changes human ex vivo atrial tissue pericardial fluid ischemic disease, myocardial infarction, non-ischemic failure using asymptomatic patients valvular who undergo preventive surgery as control group. We reveal substantial...

Background Liver ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common pathophysiological process in many clinical settings. Carvacrol, food additive commonly used essential oils, has displayed antimicrobials, antitumor and antidepressant-like activities. In the present study, we investigated protective effects of carvacrol on I/R Wistar rat livers an vitro hypoxia/restoration (H/R) model. Methods The hepatoportal vein, hepatic arterial duct rats were isolated clamped for 30 min, followed by 2 h...

Adipose‑derived stem cells (ADSCs) and bone marrow‑derived (BMSCs) are considered to be prospective sources of mesenchymal stromal (MSCs), that can used in cell therapy for atherosclerosis. The present study investigated whether ADSCs co‑cultured with M1 foam macrophages via treatment oxidized low‑density lipoprotein (ox‑LDL) would lead similar or improved anti‑inflammatory effects compared BMSCs. ADSCs, peripheral blood monocytes, BMSCs ox‑LDL were isolated from ten coronary heart disease...

Surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) can restore cardiac function for left aneurysm to some extent. However, the patches used in this treatment have limitations such as stiffness and calcification. Engineering heart tissues (EHTs) emerged a promising biomaterial repair damaged heart. Nevertheless, selecting optimal candidate cells EHTs has been controversial. Aging is major consideration seed derived from elderly patients. Hence, study was aimed assess proliferation of, antiapoptosis...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a type of cardiovascular that greatly hurts the health human beings. Diabetic status one largest clinical factors affecting CAD-associated gene expression changes. Most studies focus on diabetic patients, whereas few have been done for non-diabetic patients. Since pathophysiological processes may vary among these we cannot simply follow standard based data from Therefore, prognostic and predictive diagnostic biomarkers CAD in patient need to be fully...
