A better understanding of B1 receptor inflammatory signaling may lead to the development of therapeutics that target B1 receptors to treat neurogenic hypertension. Over the last few decades, mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSCs-Ex) have attracted a lot of attention as a therapeutic tool in regenerative medicine. Exosomes are extracellular…[Read more]

These results may facilitate the evaluation of the cumulative risk of pesticides and heavy metal residues in the environment.Background Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) has long been the standard treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis in China, but the costs of SAVR from a hospital perspective in China have not been thoroughly…[Read more]

vascular disease prior to invasive hemodynamic testing. © The Author(s) 2020.Background Acute right heart failure (RHF) is the main cause of death in patients with acute pulmonary embolism and emergent pulmonary hypertension. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning the acute RHF and the interactions between the right (RV) and left…[Read more]

© EFIM 2020.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation-induced consciousness is a rarely described and often misunderstood phenomenon, although it can be encountered. High quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may lead a patient to recover consciousness while in cardiac arrest. The authors present the case of an 89-year-old male patient who received CPR…[Read more]

Sutures pervade surgeries, but their performance is limited by the mechanical mismatch with tissues and the lack of advanced functionality. Existing modification strategies result in either deterioration of suture’s bulk properties or a weak coating susceptible to rupture or delamination. Inspired by tendon endotenon sheath, we report a versatile…[Read more]

Electron microscopy of the oocytes showed impaired mitochondrial ultrastructure. In conclusion, the lean PCOS mouse model shows a decreased oocyte quality related to impaired mitochondrial ultrastructure and function.The cardiac growth process (hypertrophy) is a crucial phenomenon conserved across a wide array of species and it is critically…[Read more]

The intestine is the primary target of pathogenic microbes during invasion. However, the interaction of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) with intestinal epithelial cells and its effects on the intestinal function of Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei) are poorly studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence…[Read more]
