Journal: Hydroxysafflor Yellow A Together with Blood-Brain Barrier Regulator Lexiscan for Cerebral Ischemia Reperfusion Injury Treatment. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 11, 2020 Lastly, HSYA together with Lex (Lex-HSYA) could significantly reduce the volume of cerebral infarction, improve the histopathological morphology, and recruit brain-derived neurotrophic factors to alleviate the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. In conclusion, the pyroptosis pathway could act as a novel therapeutic target of HSYA in nerve injury treatment, and Lex-HSYA could be a promising candidate for nerve injury treatments.

[VIRTUAL] The imortance of hyperemic contrast velocity assessment on image-based fractional flow reserve calculation () - Jul 30, 2020 - Abstract #ESC2020ESC_1647; Significantly higher AUC were detected by the hyp FFRsim than by the rest FFRsim: 0.936 (95% CI: 0.828 to 0.985) vs. 0.862 (CI: 0.734 to 0.943); p= 0.011.Linear regression analyses between the FFRsim (either by fixed FFRsim or by rest FFRsim or by hyp FFRsim methods) and the FFRmeas showed higher intercepts and less steep of the slopes in the subgroups with presence of microvascular disease defined as CFRFC/FFRmeas 2); the difference reached significant level (p=0.019) when calculated by rest FFRsim. Conclusions Hyperemic challenge either by adenosine or regadenoson is required for exact image-based FFR calculation especially in cases of suspicion for microvascular coronary disease.

[VIRTUAL] Coronary microvascular function is impaired in patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) () - Jul 30, 2020 - Abstract #ESC2020ESC_1279; Seventeen patients with genetically-confirmed CADASIL, aged <60 years, with ≤1 cardiovascular risk factor (current smoke, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia), recent (<3 months) neurological evaluation with neuropsychological tests and 3 Tesla brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) underwent 12-lead ECG, echocardiography, and measurement of maximal myocardial blood flow following Regadenoson infusion (Reg-MBF) by 13NH3positron emission tomography (PET), to investigate the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD)...One was a current smoker and 3 ex-smokers; 1 patient was on aspirin, 1 on acetazolamide and 2 on escitalopram, none was taking statins...These data represent the first documentation of coronary microvascular involvement in a group of young and mildly symptomatic CADASIL patients, confirming the systemic nature of the disease. This proof of concept study expands our understanding of genetically-driven CMD.

Journal: Autocatalytic Delivery of Brain Tumor-targeting, Size-shrinkable Nanoparticles for Treatment of Breast Cancer Brain Metastases. (Pubmed Central) - May 24, 2020 We demonstrate that the integration of tumor responsiveness, tumor targeting, and BBB penetration enables LANPs to penetrate metastatic lesions in the brain with high efficiency, and, when doxorubicin was encapsulated, LANPs effectively inhibited tumor growth and prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Due to their high efficiency in penetrating the BBB for BCBMs treatment, LANPs have the potential to be translated into clinical applications for improved treatment of patients with BCBMs.

Clinical, Journal, Adverse events: Comparison of Three Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Scores With and Without Coronary Calcium for Predicting Revascularization and Major Adverse Coronary Events in Symptomatic Patients Undergoing Positron Emission Tomography-Stress Testing. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 30, 2020 We sought to determine which of 3 ASCVD risk scores best predicts the need for revascularization and incident major adverse coronary events (MACE) in symptomatic patients at low-to-intermediate primary ASCVD risk referred for regadenoson-stress positron emission tomography (PET)...Scores including CAC (MESA, CACS) performed better than PCE for predicting overall 1-year MACE (MESA p <0.001, CACS p = 0.012 vs PCE), which was driven by early revascularization. In conclusion, in a large population of patients at primary ASCVD risk referred for PET-stress testing, risk scores including CAC (CACS, MESA), which better predicted early revascularization and 1-year MACE, may be particularly useful in primary coronary risk assessment when considering whom to refer for PET-stress testing.
