Foam cell formation has traditionally been attributed to macrophages; however, emerging evidence highlights vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) as another significant contributor. Here, we found TMEM41B is significantly upregulated in VSMCs of both human atherosclerotic (AS) lesions and murine models. specific silencing expression apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice markedly reduced plaque size macrophage infiltration. Overexpressing cultured alters intracellular lipid profiles...
Background: Restenosis (RS) poses a significant concern, leading to recurrent ischemia and the potential for amputation following intraluminal angioplasty in treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). Through microRNA microarray analysis, study detected downregulation miR-199a-5p within arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) associated with RS. Objective: This research aims explore possible function underlying mechanisms context Methods: Primary ASMCs were extracted from femoral arteries...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a global health concern, lacking specific therapeutic strategies. Time-restricted feeding (TRF) regimen demonstrated beneficial effects in NAFLD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we established NAFLD mouse model through high-fat diet (HFD) and implemented 16:8 TRF for duration of 6 weeks. We that remarkably alleviated hepatic steatosis HFD mice. Of note, aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1), key enzyme...
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using off-the-shelf "Octopus" technique to treat ruptured or symptomatic thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) pararenal abdominal (PRAAA).All cases who underwent from May 2016 2019 at our center were retrospectively analyzed. A total 10 (8 males) included. The mean age was 54.5±14.2 years (range: 31-80 years). Eight presented as rupture impending accepted emergency repair. Technical success, defined by placement all endografts planned, achieved...
Glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) has been acknowledged for its ability to regulate lipid homeostasis and provide benefits various metabolic disorders. However, the impact of GUDCA on arterial thrombotic events remains unexplored. The objective this study is examine effects thrombogenesis elucidate underlying mechanisms.
Background: Arterial thrombotic disease has long been a crucial worldwide health concern. Metabolic disorders have validated to enhance platelet reactivity, thereby augmenting the risk. Recent investigations highlighted metabolic improving effect of alternate day fasting (ADF). However, its impact on thrombosis remains unclear. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that ADF may reduce arterial risk through modulatory effect. Aims: To investigate effects thrombogenesis and unravel underlying mechanisms....
Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) stands as the foremost cause of mortality and disability among adults worldwide. Despite non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) has been well-characterized an independent risk factor atherosclerosis (AS), precise underlying mechanisms remain poorly elucidated. We recently identified N-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (2PY), main end product nicotinamide in human, a pro-steatotic metabolite markedly elevated hepatic steatosis conditions....
