Although the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined, several critical pathological features have been identified, including inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation, and loss of vascular smooth muscle cells. In recent years, perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), an active endocrine and paracrine organ surrounding blood vessels, has emerged as an essential regulator of various cardiovascular diseases. PVAT has been shown to remodel the extracellular matrix and influence vascular smooth muscle cell behavior by establishing a pro-inflammatory milieu, thereby affecting the structural integrity and reactivity of the arterial wall.

Numerous clinical studies have used AKI and POD as primary outcomes and have found that AKI and POD often occur simultaneously in the perioperative period in susceptible groups undergoing major surgery. Some research findings indicate that the brain and the kidney exhibit bidirectional communication that is affected by systemic inflammation, drug accumulation, uremic toxins, vascular endothelial injury, and fluid volume redistribution during the perioperative period.

We aimed to mitigate the IAV threat by disrupting pig influenza infection through gene targeting of the viral receptors in pigs.
