Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the progression of pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Because crocetin represses oxidative vitro vivo, we have suggested that would repress by targeting stress-dependent signalling. We tested this hypothesis using primary cultured myocytes fibroblasts one well-established animal model hypertrophy. The results showed (1-10 microM) dose-dependently blocked induced angiogensin II (Ang II; 1 vitro. Our data further revealed (50...
Introduction Enteric dysbacteriosis is strongly associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the underlying causal relationship remains unknown. Thus, present study aimed to investigate between gut microbiota and NAFLD using Mendelian randomization (MR) analyze target genes potentially regulated by specific microbiota. Methods Bidirectional two-sample MR analysis was performed inverse variance weighted (IVW) supplemented MR-Egger, median, simple mode, mode methods. Data...
Spontaneous splenorenal shunt (SSRS) is one of the manifestations portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis. However, impact SSRS on long-term survival cirrhotic patients remains unclear. We hypothesize that may worsen dysfunction and deteriorate prognosis cirrhosis by decreasing hepatic perfusion.Patients with who were admitted to our department between December 2014 August 2019 underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans prospectively collected. The...
Occlusive portal venous system thrombosis (PVT) is significantly associated with poor outcomes in cirrhotic patients. Nonselective β-blockers (NSBBs) may be the development of PVT. However, role NSBBs progressing remains unclear. Forty-three patients on whom contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was performed twice, and for there detailed information regarding NSBBs, were eligible this study, including 16 group 27 no group. A composite endpoint included PVT...
Background and Aims . Left-sided portal hypertension (LSPH) is a rare type of hypertension, which occurs due to obstruction, stenosis, or thrombosis within the splenic vein. Pancreatic diseases are most common etiology LSPH. This study aimed at reporting our experiences discussing presentation, management, prognosis LSPH secondary pancreatic diseases. Patients Methods We retrospectively reviewed five patients who were diagnosed with department. collected demographic information, history,...
Objective: The stability, in vitro release, cell transfection efficiency and vivo gene transfer of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) plasmid DNA-loaded poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles were investigated. Methods: prepared with PLGA bearing VEGF165 DNA characterized respect to morphology, size encapsulation efficiency. was tested on the cultured myocardial cells. And then suspension VEGF-loaded (VEGF-NPs) injected into tissues observe process as vectors for...
Receptor-associated late transducer (RALT) is a feedback inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling. RALT has been shown previously to be induced in the ischemic heart and promote cardiomyocyte apoptosis vitro. However, role cardiac hypertrophy remains unclear. We hypothesized that forced expression murine would protect against vivo. investigated effect overexpression rat on by angiotensin II isoproterenol transgenic mice wild-type littermates. The extent was assessed 2D M-mode...
To investigate the effects of potent immunosuppressive agent cyclosporin A (CsA) on proliferation human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression in EPCs.The EPCs were obtained from cultured mononuclear cells, which isolated peripheral blood healthy adults, stimulated with CsA (10 microg/mL) presence or absence either vascular growth factor (VEGF; 50 ng/mL) L-arginine (1 mM). explore effect different concentrations alone EPC proliferation, some treated a...
We investigated wound tract extension of traumatic gunshot wounds in limb soft tissues as well sonographic features and change-patterns when the position was changed. The experimental animals included 8 healthy crossbred pigs Chengdu plain region. Chinese Type 53 Carbine used to establish model porcine tissues. Gunshot-injured zones were dynamically observed at different time points using ultrasonic technology. Pathological examinations performed for corresponding regions comparison...
Hemostasis profile is often complicated in liver cirrhosis. Thromboelastography a global viscoelastic test recommended by the current practice guideline and consensus. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate association of thromboelastography with severity cirrhosis presence portal venous system thrombosis (PVST).
Abstract Introduction: In the tumor micro-environment, extracellular ATP is sequentially hydrolyzed to adenosine by ecto-nucleotidases CD39 (ATP→AMP) and CD73 (AMP→adenosine). Adenosine, through activation of A2a receptor (A2aR), a potent inhibitor T-cell activation, resulting in an immunosuppressed phenotype. Thus, inhibition A2aR has recently generated great interest immuno-oncology. We present characterization novel, selective, highly small molecule antagonist which slated enter clinic...
Abstract Background Morphologic changes in the gallbladder and gallstones are common cirrhotic patients, but their associations with outcomes of patients unclear. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 206 measured length width, wall thickness, presence gallstones, gallstones’ width axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images. X-tile software was utilized to calculate optimal cutoff values these parameters for evaluating survival hepatic decompensation events cirrhosis group. Their...
Acute portomesenteric vein thrombosis is potentially lethal. In the present paper, a cirrhotic patient with previous history of esophageal variceal bleeding presented acute occlusive thrombosis, but achieved complete recanalization by low-molecular-weight heparin followed rivaroxaban. Notably, no episode occurred during anticoagulation therapy. This case supported early initiation in such patients.
Portal venous system thrombosis (PVST) will progress in some cases, indicating worse outcome and the necessity of antithrombotic treatment, but spontaneously improve others. It is crucial to understand natural history PVST liver cirrhosis. However, knowledge regarding how predict evolution cirrhotic patients very scant.Sixty-nine without malignancy, who had undergone repeated contrast-enhanced computed tomography or MRI evaluate severity at first last admissions, were included. Logistic...
Abstract Rationale: Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a small-vessel vasculitis that has been extensively studied in children, but little known about its natural history adults. There no consensus regarding the treatment of glucocorticosteroids use for HSP. The efficacy glucocorticoid preventing from severe complications or relapse also controversial Patient concerns: A 21-year-old male was admitted to hospital due abdominal pain more than 20 days, hematochezia 10 and rash 2 days. Diagnoses:...
