A growing volume of evidence correlates SARS-CoV-2 infection with myocardial injury, exposing patients to higher mortality risk. SARS-CoV-2 attacks the coronary arterial bed with various mechanisms including thrombosis/rupture of preexisting atherosclerotic plaque, de novo coronary thrombosis, endotheliitis, microvascular dysfunction, vasculitis, vasospasm, and ectasia/aneurysm formation. The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor plays pivotal role on the cardiovascular homeostasis and the unfolding of COVID-19. The activation of immune system, mediated by proinflammatory cytokines along with the dysregulation of the coagulation system, can pose an insult on the coronary artery, which usually manifests as an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Revascularization is the first-line treatment in all patients with ACS and obstructed coronary arteries, whereas in type 2 myocardial infarction treatment of hypoxia, anemia and systemic inflammation are indicated.

Various clinical and laboratory parameters, adverse events, and disease activity indices were assessed, alongside drug efficacy and survival rates.RESULTSPatients with D2T RA exhibited higher seronegativity, prior use of bDMARDs and cDMARDs, and longer disease duration. Both groups experienced reductions in VAS and DAS28 scores, as well as SDAI, CDAI, HAQ, CRP, and ESR levels at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months post-baricitinib initiation, with sustained efficacy observed over 12 months.

This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of silver dressings in improving healing rate of these ulcers.METHODSWe carried out comprehensive searches in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) up to March 2024. Two reviewers independently screened the study and extracted data. While the primary outcome was wound healing rate, secondary outcomes included wound healing area and recurrence rate. Data were analyzed using Stata 16.0. software.RESULTSA total of 18 studies involving 1825 participants were included. Silver dressings demonstrated statistically significant effects in improving healing rates for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) (OR 2.14, 95% CI: 1.52, 3.00, p = 0.00), whereas the effects were not statistically significant for venous leg ulcers (VLU) (OR 1.32, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.78, p = 0.07). Silver dressings also reduced ulcer area by 27.44 cm2 (95% CI 6.96 to 47.92) and recurrence rate of 45% (95% CI 0.11 to 1.79). Subgroup analysis revealed that the Asia-Pacific region and treatments of six weeks or less exhibited higher healing rates than their respective counterparts, although there was no statistical significance.CONCLUSIONSThis study indicated a statistically significant benefit of the treatment for DFU.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was measured using the DCFH-DA assay, and Nrf2 and HO-1 protein expressions were evaluated through immunofluorescence and Western blot.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) increased infarct size, inflammatory cell presence, oxidative and nitrosative stress, impaired cardiac function, and elevated apoptosis rates. AM1241 mitigated these effects, enhancing cell viability, reducing ROS production, and upregulating Nrf2 and HO-1 expression. The antioxidant effect of AM1241 was inhibited by ML385 intervention.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>AM1241 attenuates oxidative stress, alleviates MIRI, and activates the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic strategy for MIRI.</p>","PeriodicalId":18455,"journal":{"name":"Medical Principles and Practice","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141971423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
