It retrospectively included 107 patients with carotid artery stenosis who underwent carotid artery stenting from 2017 to 2022. Patients were categorized into stable and vulnerable plaque groups based on pathology. A training group and a testing group were formed in a 7:3 ratio. Clinical data, including demographics and lipid profiles, were collected alongside pretreatment computed tomography angiography images. Radiomics features were extracted and reduced using the LASSO method to minimize redundancy. A radiomics model was then constructed, using 13 features with a minimum penalty coefficient logλ = 0.047. Significant differences were found between stable and vulnerable plaques in terms of stenosis degree. The radiomics model showed high accuracy (area under the curve of 0.959 in training and 0.942 in testing) for identifying vulnerable plaques. When combined with clinical parameters stenosis degree, the model's diagnostic efficacy improved further, with area under the curve values of 0.985 and 0.961 in the training and testing groups, respectively. Decision curve analysis indicated that the combined model offered superior clinical benefits for the clinical model and radiomics model alone. The study concludes that the combined radiomics model, incorporating stenosis degree, presents a promising tool for differentiating vulnerable from stable plaques.</p>","PeriodicalId":15212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"217-224"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142909708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that the 5-HT7 receptor is essential for both 5-HT-induced changes in blood pressure and skeletal muscle arteriolar function. Male 5-HT7 receptor knock out (KO) rats under isoflurane anesthesia had a higher resting hindquarter vascular resistance [HQVR; mm Hg/ml/min; KO (16.0+2.0) vs WT (10.8+0.6.0), p = 0.04]; this was not observed in females. The reduction in blood pressure and HQVR caused by intravenous infusion of 5-HT (25 μg/kg/min) was attenuated (∼56%) in male and female KO rats vs WT. Left anterior descending (LAD) coronary arterial ligation was used to create a model of impaired hindquarter perfusion and exercise intolerance. The goal was to determine whether heart failure associated skeletal muscle blood flow abnormalities were affected by loss of a functioning 5-HT7 receptor in skeletal muscle vasculature. Transdermal neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was used to mimic exercise induced contraction of skeletal muscle and increase blood flow in the hindquarters (HQ). Male (M) and female (F) 5-HT7 receptor KO rats had a profoundly reduced ability to increase HQ flow during NMES vs WT (% increase from basal; M WT = 118.0+18.0 vs KO=14.6+7.1%; F WT= 101.0+12.0 vs KO = 7.6+6.0%), observed in sham and LAD rats. In a naive cohort of 5-HT7 WT and KO rats, NMES-induced increases in HQ flow did not occur in 5-HT7 receptor KO rats. The NMES-induced increase in HQ flow was also abolished in the presence of the 5-HT7 receptor antagonist SB269970 in normal Sprague-Dawley rats. Lectin visualization of gastrocnemius muscle microvasculature indicateded that the elevated HQVR at rest in male 5-HT7 receptor KO rats was not due to a reduced microvascular density vs the WT. We conclude that 5-HT acting at least in part via the 5-HT7 receptor may have a larger role in (patho)physiological regulation of the circulation than has been heretofore appreciated.</p>","PeriodicalId":15212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both doses reduced the urinary U/Cr ratio and LH increased the serum U/Cr ratio. Advanced protein oxidation products were reduced only in low liraglutide. LH augmented collagen and early markers of kidney injury (blood urea nitrogen, blood urea nitrogen/Cr). LH increased nitrate, reduced nitrite, and caused an aberrant increase in glomerular filtration rate. Both doses' effects were independent of blood pressure and glycemic control.
