Background: The anti-phagocytic molecule CD47 is upregulated in the atherosclerotic plaques of patients with cerebrovascular disease; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the development and progression of atherosclerotic lesions have not been fully established. In this study, we postulate how endothelial-specific CD47 promotes endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) in potentiating atherosclerosis and assess the efficacy of the development of novel therapeutic interventions for cardiovascular disease. Methods: Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), combined with molecular, cellular, and biochemical analyses, we investigated the role of endothelial CD47 in stimulating EndoMT using knock-out in ApoE-/- atherosclerotic mouse models. Results: ScRNA-seq revealed that CD47 promotes EndoMT, and the loss of endothelial CD47 inhibits EndoMT marker expression as well as transforming growth factor-beta signaling in vitro and atherosclerotic mice, which is associated with smaller lesions in Apoe-/- mouse model. In endothelial cells, CD47 hinders efferocytosis of senescent ECs and represses macrophage’s efferocytotic capacity to propel arterial inflammation and atherogenesis. Mechanistically, the interaction between CD47 and efferocytic receptor MerTK exacerbates inflammation by inhibiting the process of efferocytosis in endothelial cells and macrophages under atherogenic conditions. In response to atherogenic stimuli, endothelial CD47 upregulates the endocytic adaptor protein epsin, causing fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1) signal attenuation that upregulates TGF-β signaling and promoting EndoMT and potentiating atherosclerosis. Conclusion: We conclude that endothelial CD47 potentiates EndoMT during atherogenesis by increasing TGF-β signaling through FGFR1 internalization and degradation and targeted manipulating CD47 expression with precision nanomedicine offering a novel approach for mitigating cardiovascular disease.

Restenosis is a severe complication after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty which limits the long-term efficacy of the intervention. In this study, we investigated the efficiency of exosomes derived from AT2R-overexpressing bone mesenchymal stem cells on the prevention of restenosis after carotid artery injury. Our data showed that AT2R-EXO promoted the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells and maintained the ratio of eNOS/iNOS. On the contrary, AT2R-EXO inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells. In vivo study proved that AT2R-Exo were more effectively accumulated in the injured carotid artery than EXO and Vehicle-EXO controls. AT2R-EXO treatment could improve blood flow of the injured carotid artery site more effectively. Further analysis revealed that AT2REXO prevents restenosis after carotid artery injury by attenuating the injury-induced neointimal hyperplasia. Our study provides a novel and more efficient exosome for the treatment of restenosis diseases after intervention.

Traumatic rib fractures are the most common injury in thoracic trauma. Previously,the patients with traumatic rib fractures were mostly treated non-surgically,of which 50%,especially those combined with flail chest presented chronic pain or chest wall deformities and over 30% had long-term disabilities,being unable to retain a full-time job. In the past two decades,thanks to the development of internal fixation material technology,the surgical treatment of rib fractures has achieved good outcomes. However,there are still some problems in clinical treatment,including inconsistency in surgical treatment and quality control in medical services. The current consensuses on the management of regional traumatic rib fractures published at home and abroad mainly focus on the guidance of the overall treatment decisions and plans,and relevant clinical guidelines abroad lacks progress in surgical treatment of rib fractures in recent years. Therefore,the Chinese Society of Traumatology affiliated to Chinese Medical Association and Chinese College of Trauma Surgeons affiliated to Chinese Medical Doctor Association,in conjunction with national multidisciplinary experts,formulate the Chinese Consensus for Surgical Treatment of Traumatic Rib Fractures(2021)following the principle of evidence-based medicine,scientific nature and practicality. This expert consensus puts forward some clear,applicable,and graded recommendations from aspects of preoperative imaging evaluation,surgical indications,timing of surgery,surgical methods,rib fracture sites for surgical fixation,internal fixation methods and material selections,treatment of combined injuries in rib fractures,in order to provide references for surgical treatment of traumatic rib fractures.
Restenosis is a serious problem in patients who have undergone percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Endothelial injury resulting from surgery can lead to endothelial dysfunction and neointimal formation by inducing aberrant proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells. Exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells have been a hot topic in cardioprotective research. However, to date, exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-Exo) have rarely been reported in association with restenosis after artery injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MSC-Exo inhibit neointimal hyperplasia in a rat model of carotid artery balloon-induced injury and, if so, to explore the underlying mechanisms. Characterization of MSC-Exo immunophenotypes was performed by electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis and western blot assays. To investigate whether MSC-Exo inhibited neointimal hyperplasia, rats were intravenously injected with normal saline or MSC-Exo after carotid artery balloon-induced injury. Haematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to examine the intimal and media areas. Evans blue dye staining was performed to examine re-endothelialization. Moreover, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were performed to examine the expression of CD31, vWF and α-SMA. To further investigate the involvement of MSC-Exo-induced re-endothelialization, the underlying mechanisms were studied by cell counting kit-8, cell scratch, immunofluorescence and western blot assays. Our data showed that MSC-Exo were ingested by endothelial cells and that systemic injection of MSC-Exo suppressed neointimal hyperplasia after artery injury. The Evans blue staining results showed that MSC-Exo could accelerate re-endothelialization compared to the saline group. The immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry results showed that MSC-Exo upregulated the expression of CD31 and vWF but downregulated the expression of α-SMA. Furthermore, MSC-Exo mechanistically facilitated proliferation and migration by activating the Erk1/2 signalling pathway. The western blot results showed that MSC-Exo upregulated the expression of PCNA, Cyclin D1, Vimentin, MMP2 and MMP9 compared to that in the control group. Interestingly, an Erk1/2 inhibitor reversed the expression of the above proteins. Our data suggest that MSC-Exo can inhibit neointimal hyperplasia after carotid artery injury by accelerating re-endothelialization, which is accompanied by activation of the Erk1/2 signalling pathway. Importantly, our study provides a novel cell-free approach for the treatment of restenosis diseases after intervention.

Methods The clinical data of 21 patients of V-A or V-V ECMO in our hospital from January 2009 to July 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. And the techniques of different catheter sites were summarized. Results Three cases were successfully insert-ed catheter by jugular vein puncture with one time. Four patients with ascending aorta intubation died from uncontrolled severe hemorrhage. Eight peripheral catheter site had a small amount of bleeding,with no more bleeding after pressurized bandage. There were no complications like bleeding, hematoma, hemothorax and pneumothorax in the period of ECMO. Conclusion In the process of the ECMO catheter, the standardized operation could reduce the incidence of serious complicaions including bleeding.
Abstract We sought to elucidate the role of Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5 (ARHGEF5) in tumorigenesis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. ARHGEF5 protein levels were assessed in 91 human lung adenocarcinoma specimens, and A549 and NCI-H1650 cells, by IHC and Western blotting. In addition, ARHGEF5 mRNA expression was evaluated by quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR. Furthermore, ARHGEF5 long and short isoform coexpression was detected by immunofluorescence. Finally, flow cytometry; CCK8 and wound-healing assays; cell invasion, migration and adhesion; and xenografts were used to evaluate the biologic significance of ARHGEF5. ARHGEF5 was significantly increased in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and cell lines. Interestingly, ARHGEF5 levels were significantly associated with tumor grade and pathologic stage, but not age, gender, T stage, or lymph node metastasis status. ARHGEF5 knockdown by RNAi resulted in dramatically reduced proliferation, adhesion, invasion, and migratory capability of A549 and NCI-H1650 cells. Likewise, protein levels of p-Src, p-Akt, and NF-κB were significantly decreased after ARHGEF5 knockdown. In parallel, increased S-phase population and MMP-2/cyclin D1 expression were observed in the cancer cells, which were not apoptotic. In addition, ARHGEF5 knockdown A549 and NCI-H1650 cells injected s.c. and i.v. into nude mice exhibited decreased xenograft volume and overtly reduced metastasis. Conversely, ARHGEF5 overexpression in A549 and NCI-H1650 cells increased their tumorigenicity in vitro. ARHGEF5 acts as a proto-oncogene in human lung adenocarcinoma cell tumorigenesis.

Objective Explore the ‘dual‐tutorial teaching’ model in the application of cardiac surgical teaching .Methods 93 eighth grade clinical medicine students of 2011‐2013 school year in our depart‐ment trainee ,were divided into two groups according to the exam scores for sorting before entering the unit :the dual‐tutorial teaching group(odd number sorting ,46 students) and the control groups(e‐ven number sorting ,46 students) .The dual‐tutorial teaching group was including cardiac surgeons and intensive care physicians ,the control group was only include cardiac surgeons .The exam scores and the satisfaction of students of two groups were appraised by the same total teaching teachers .Re‐sults The theory and practical skills record of clinical skill of dual‐tutorial teaching group were signifi‐cantly higher than that of control group (P<0 .05) ,and the students of dual‐tutorial teaching group were more satisfied (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion ‘Dual‐tutorial teaching’ model enhanced the teaching effect in the eighth grade students of medicine ,more in line with the specialized characteristic of cardi‐ac surgery clinical teaching .
Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are an effective treatment for obstructive coronary artery diseases. However, the procedure's success is limited by remodeling and formation of neointima. In the present study, we engineered rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to express type 2 angiotensin II receptor (AT2R) using a tetracycline-regulated system that can strictly regulate AT2R expression. We tested the ability of the modified MSCs to reduce neointima formation following arterial injury. We subjected rats to balloon injury, and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) indicated no significant AT2R expression in normal rat arteries. Low expression of AT2R was observed at 28 days after balloon-induced injury. Interestingly, MSCs alone were unable to reduce neointimal hyperplasia after balloon-induced injury; after transplantation of modified MSCs, doxycycline treatment significantly upregulated neointimal AT2R expression and inhibited osteopontin mRNA expression, as well as neointimal formation. Taken together, these results suggest that transplantation of MSCs conditionally expressing AT2R could effectively suppress neointimal hyperplasia following balloon-induced injury. Therefore, MSCs with a doxycycline-controlled gene induction system may be useful for the management of arterial injury after PCI.
Many important protein–protein interactions in eukaryotic signaling networks are mediated by peptide recognition domains (PRDs), which bind short linear sequence motifs in other proteins. However, high ligand cross-reactivity is observed within most PRD families, rendering a broad specificity for the family members. In the present study, we attempt to explore the molecular mechanism and physicochemical origin of PRD cross-reactivity. In the procedure, a structure-based method called atomic cross-nonbonded interaction analysis (ACNIA) is described to extract atomic-level nonbonded interaction information at domain–peptide interface and to correlate the information with peptide affinity based on a set of structure-solved, affinity-known protein–peptide complex samples compiled from numerous literatures and databases. The ACNIA-derived affinity predictor is tested rigorously with statistical validation approach, which is also demonstrated to be capable of perceiving slight structural change in the interface using three distinct panels of SH3-binding peptide data. Subsequently, with help of the affinity predictor we adopt the human c-Src SH3 domain, one of the most sophisticated PRDs, as a paradigm to investigate the ligand cross-reactivity within SH3 family. It is found that most of the family members have only few non-essential residue differences in their peptide-binding pockets, and thus exhibit a similar peptide recognition profile and high cross-reactivity. The cross-reactivity is even shared by different subclasses of SH3 domains. The findings suggest that inherent binding specificity is not the only factor to select appropriate binders for specific SH3 domains, and other aspects such as cellular context and the rest of the SH3-containing proteins may play important roles in reducing their ligand cross-reactivity.
