Genetics of Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Ischemic CardiomyopathyBackground:Ischemic heart disease is one of the heaviest health-related burdens worldwide.We aimed to identify the common hub mRNA and pathways that are involved in pathological progression of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Methods: To explore potential differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of all ischemic heart disease stages, we used chipster and GEO2R tools to analyze of retrieved eight high throughput RNA datasets obtained from GEO database. Gene Ontology functional annotation and Pathways enrichment analyses were used to obtain the common functional enriched DEGs which were visualized in protein-protein interactions (PPI) network to explore the hub mRNA according to the interaction scores. Validation qRT-PCR was carried out for blood and cardiac biopsies compared with controls to validate the determined four hub mRNAs and subsequently reviewed inside comprehensive published meta-analysis database. The validated mRNAs were visualized in two interaction modules. Finally screening of approved drugs was applied.
Splenic Artery Ligation and Portocaval Shunt in Small-for-size Syndrome
Small-For-Size Liver SyndromeLigation6 moreOur study aimed at assessing the changes of portal vein pressure, portal vein flow and hepatic arterial flow (HAF) in liver remnants ≤ 30% of the standard liver volume by reducing portal vein overflow via ligation of the splenic artery.
Impact of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET) on Thrombolysis in Acute Phase of Cerebral Ischemia...
Cerebral InfarctCerebral infarcts represent a major cause of morbidity/mortality in spite of therapeutics for a premature recanalisation (intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) and thrombectomy). Thrombolysis failure by the administration of rt-PA is frequent, in particular in proximal occlusion. Experimental studies suggest that neutrophils could play an important role in the thrombus development via the organization of a network (NET) within the thrombus. Targeting this network of NET could, in addition to the fibrinolysis, increase the rate of recanalisation and thus improve the neurological prognostic after a cerebral infarct. The aim of the research is to Study of the biochemical and histological composition of the stemming thrombi of cerebral thrombectomies with in vitro analysis of the sensibility in the thrombolysis induced by rt-PA +/- Desoxyribonuclease I (DNase I).
Correlation Between Macular Ischemia and Peripheral Ischemia in Patients With Diabetes
Diabetic RetinopathyThe contribution of OCT- angiography (OCT-A) allows to consider, in a more or less long term, a drastic reduction in the use of fluorescein angiographies in diabetic retinopathy. The accuracy of the analysis of the vascularization of retinal layers of the posterior pole of the eye by the OCT-A , will detect, early and in a quantifiable manner, whether or not there are areas of macular ischemia in a patient. However, current technical limitations (small field analysis) of OCT-A imaging only allow a limited study of retina at the posterior pole of the fundus. This study seeks to demonstrate whether there is a link between macular ischemia detected by the OCT-A and peripheral retinal ischemia detected by the fluorescein angiographies, in diabetic patients.
Early Administration of Aspirin in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Treated With Systemic Thrombolysis...
StrokeBrain IschemiaThe aim of this study is to determine whether early administration of aspirin in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with systemic thrombolysis is safe and can improve outcomes due to decreasing the number of early rethromboses.
