Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by plaque accumulation in the arteries. Macrophages are immune cells that crucial development of atherosclerosis. can adopt different phenotypes, with M1 phenotype promoting inflammation while M2 counteracting it. This review focuses on factors drive polarisation macrophages towards pro-inflammatory during AS. Additionally, we explored metabolic reprogramming mechanisms and cytokines secretion macrophages. Hyperlipidaemia widely...

Advanced glycation end products play an important role in diabetic atherosclerosis. The effects of advanced (AGEs) on vascular smooth muscle cell- (VSMC-) derived foam cell formation and phenotypic transformation are unknown.Serological histological samples were obtained from amputation patients accident the Affiliated Hospital Jiangsu University. CD68/Actin Alpha 2 (ACTA2) coimmunofluorescence sections used to quantify number VSMCs with macrophage-like phenotypes. Western blotting was...

Our objective is to determine circulating Bone morphogenetic protein-9(BMP-9) levels in subjects with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and examine the relationship between BMP-9 conventional markers for MetS insulin resistance (IR). A total of 362 newly diagnosed patients along healthy controls were recruited this cross-sectional study. Circulating measured by ELISA. significantly lower compared those controls. was associated negatively Waist hip ratio (WHR), fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour...

The clinical risks and prognosis of diabetic vascular intimal calcification (VIC) medial (VMC) are different. This study aims to investigate the mechanism VIC/VMC translocation. Anterior tibial arteries were collected from patients with foot amputation. then divided into VIC VMC groups. There plaques in all anterior arteries, while enrichment galectin-3 arterial group was significantly higher than that group. Furthermore, a macrophage/vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) coculture system...

Studies on the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiac remodeling are highly desired. Glucose and lipid metabolism both disordered in diabetes. disturbances promote myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, hypertrophy through galectin-3. Galectin-3 promotes by inhibiting phosphorylation Akt Thr308 or Ser473 . The present study finds that glucose disorders important causes for damage provides novel ideas prevention treatment remodeling.

<title>Abstract</title> Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the most prevalent type of head - and neck cancer, its diagnosis treatment are currently facing significant challenges. This study aimed to identify biomarkers associated with NPC by performing bioinformatic analysis on GSE12452, GSE53819, GSE64634 datasets from GEO database. First, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal nasopharyngeal tissues were screened. Then, these DEGs subjected RobustRank Aggregation analysis....

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a common chronic in the world. NAFLD is not only simple intrahepatic lesion, but also affects occurrence of variety extrahepatic complications. In particular, cardiovascular complications are particularly serious, which main cause death patients with nonalcoholic disease. To study association betweenNAFLD and AS. It may be new way to improve quality life As we all known, inflammatory response plays an important role development this study,...

Macrophage-derived foam cells play a central role in atherosclerosis, and their ultimate fate includes apoptosis, promotion of vascular inflammation, or migration to other tissues. Nε-Carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), the key active component advanced glycation end products, induced cell formation apoptosis. Previous studies have shown that Vav1/Rac1 pathway affects macrophage cytoskeleton migration, but its pathogenesis diabetic atherosclerosis is unknown. In this study, we used anterior...

Atherosclerosis is a multifaceted disease characterized by the formation and accumulation of plaques that attach to arteries cause cardiovascular vascular embolism. A range diagnostic techniques, including selective coronary angiography, stress tests, computerized tomography, nuclear scans, assess risk treatment targets. However, there currently no simple blood biochemical index or biological target for diagnosis atherosclerosis. Therefore, it interest find marker Three datasets from Gene...
