Background: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a key pathophysiological mechanism in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX), derived from routine laboratory markers, has been prop...

Abstract Introduction No-reflow phenomenon (NRP) after primary PCI in STEMI is strongly linked to early mortality and adverse events. Conventional indices such as the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), the CRP to ...

Abstract Background Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is characterized by progressive endothelial dysfunction and corneal edema. Reliable objective biomarkers for grading disease severity are currently evolving....

Abstract Background Endothelial cells (ECs) orchestrate vascular homeostasis and resilience but can undergo reprogramming into a mesenchymal-like phenotype through an endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Crucia...

Background and objectiveEndothelial dysfunction is a key driver of cardiovascular complications in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), with oxidative stress and inflammation playing pivotal roles in its pa...

Abstract COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is increasingly recognized as a systemic disorder with inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic perturbations. This study aimed to characterize metabolic changes in CO...

Abstract Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) disproportionately affects elderly women and is closely associated with central obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Although sodium-glucose co-tra...

Abstract Vascular dysfunction, including endothelial cell (EC) senescence and hypertension, is a hallmark of metabolic syndrome, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that metabolic stress upregulat...

ABSTRACT Introduction Systematic lupus erythematosus is a complex fundamental autoimmune disease with relapsing‐remitting course and spectrum of disease ranging from mild to life‐threatening illness. Approximately ha...

Preeclampsia represents an unmasking of underlying vascular and metabolic vulnerability during the physiologic stress of pregnancy. Current first-trimester screening relies heavily on body mass index which incompletely c...

Abstract The core pathological mechanisms of diabetic microvascular diseases, such as nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and neuropathy, involve the dysfunction and loss of microvascular endothelial cells (ECs), vas...

ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face premature atherosclerosis, but standard carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) may lack sensitivity for the earliest vascular injuries. Since urinary albumi...

Abstract Introduction Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) under veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) is frequently complicated by severe vasoplegia and microcirculation failure. Conventional resuscitation relies heavily on catec...

Abstract Objective Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is associated with substantial end‑organ morbidity, yet the circulating microRNA (miRNA) landscape in clinically stable, comorbidity‑free adults with SCA is poorly defined....

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) involves metabolic disturbances and endothelial dysfunction, raising cardiovascular risk. Objective: To compare the effects of 8 weeks of resistance, endurance, and combined ex...

Abstract Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is an extremely lethal cerebrovascular emergency that can lead to severe long term neurological deficits. Modern research evidence indicates that the incidence of SAH varies signifi...

Abstract Postoperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a frequent complication in elderly surgical patients and is closely associated with blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and cerebral metabolic imbalance. The prese...

Abstract Background and purpose Claudin-5 plays a crucial role in maintaining blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity through endothelial tight junction formation. Alternative splicing of claudin-5 within the microvascular e...

AimTo clarify the molecular mechanisms through which lobetyolin (LT) modifies the gut microbiota-bile acid axis to multitarget the regulation of hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, and e...
