The Impact of Aging on Vascular Ion Channels: Perspectives and Knowledge Gaps Across Major Organ Systems
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2023 Aug 25. doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.00288.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndividuals aged ≥65 years will comprise approximately 20% of the global population by 2030. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the world with age-related endothelial "dysfunction" as a key risk factor. As an organ in and of itself, vascular endothelium courses throughout the mammalian body to coordinate blood flow to all other organs and tissues (e.g., brain, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, gut, kidney, skin) in accord with metabolic demand. In turn, emerging evidence demonstrates that va...

Diagnostical accuracy of hyperspectral imaging after free flap surgery
This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) after free-tissue transfer surgery. From January 2017 to October 2019, 42 consecutive free-flap surgeries were performed, and their outcomes were analyzed via HSI. Clinical examination of free-flap perfusion was initially performed. Clinical examination findings were subsequently compared with those of HSI. Potential venous congestion with subsequent necrosis was defined as a tissue hemoglobin index of ≥53%. Student's t-test was used to compare the results of the analysis. The evaluation of sensitivity and specificity for flap failure dete...

Method for comparison of data driven gating algorithms in emission tomography
Phys Med Biol. 2023 Aug 24. doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/acf3ce. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultiple algorithms have been proposed for Data Driven Gating (DDG) in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and have successfully been applied to Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI). Application of DDG to acquisition types other than SPECT MPI has not been demonstrated so far, as limitations and pitfalls of current methods are unknown. 

Approach: We create a comprehensive set of phantoms simulating the influence of different motion artifacts, view angles, moving objects, contrast, and count levels in SPECT...

Re-Dosing del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery: Perfusion characteristics and outcomes--Is there an optimal redosing strategy?
CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, variations in re-dosing strategy for del Nido cardioplegia do not affect postoperative outcomes and increased CPB time is associated with increased operative mortality, myocardial infarction, need for post-operative CSDs, and reduced postoperative EF, and increased VIS, irrespective of the re-dosing strategy. Further studies are warranted to to identify additional patient and operative characteristics that predispose to complications.PMID:37608700 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231197524

Saline bolus for negative contrast perfusion imaging in magnetic particle imaging
Phys Med Biol. 2023 Aug 22;68(17). doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/ace309.ABSTRACTObjective.Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is capable of high temporal resolution measurements of the spatial distribution of magnetic nanoparticles and therefore well suited for perfusion imaging, which is an important tool in medical diagnosis. Perfusion imaging in MPI usually requires a fresh bolus of tracer material to capture the key signal dynamics. Here, we propose a method to decouple the imaging sequence from the injection of additional tracer material, without further increasing the administered iron dose in the body with each image.Approach....

Characterization of a human placental clearance system to regulate serotonin levels in the fetoplacental unit
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, we present transcriptional and functional evidence that the human placenta has an efficient 5-HT clearance system involving (1) removal of 5-HT from the fetal circulation by OCT3, (2) metabolism to 5-HIAA by MAO-A, and (3) selective 5-HIAA excretion to the maternal circulation via the MRP2 transporter. This synchronized mechanism is critical for regulating 5-HT in the fetoplacental unit; however, it can be compromised by external insults such as antidepressant drugs.PMID:37612712 | DOI:10.1186/s12958-023-01128-z

Progress in molecular mechanisms of coronary microvascular dysfunction
Microcirculation. 2023 Aug 22:e12827. doi: 10.1111/micc.12827. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronary microvascular dysfunction is a high-risk factor for many cardiovascular events. However, because of multiple risk factors and limited understanding about its underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, it was easily misdiagnosed. Therefore, its clinical diagnosis and treatment were greatly restricted. Coronary microcirculation refers to microvessels that play an important role in the physiological regulation of myocardial perfusion and regulating blood flow distribution, fulfilling myocardial metabolic needs and moderating p...
