Serum endocan, asymmetric dimethylarginine and lipid profile in children with familial Mediterranean fever
CONCLUSION: Serum ADMA and lipid profile might be used as potential markers for endothelial dysfunction and increased cardiovascular risk in FMF patients.IMPACT: Theoretically, serum ADMA may affect lipid profiles and serum endocan represents an intriguing biomarker related to inflammation. Coexistence of dyslipidemia represents an additional risk factor that contributes to the onset of early atherosclerosis. A few studies investigated the role of changes in lipid profile and lipid ratios in accelerated atherosclerosis pathogenesis in FMF patients. The relationship between colchicine and lipid profile is contradictory. Alt...

Cluster of Differentiation-44-Targeting Prussian Blue Nanoparticles Onloaded with Colchicine for Atherosclerotic Plaque Regression in a Mice Model
In this study, the cluster of differentiation-44 receptor was verified to be overexpressed in inflammatory macrophages within plaques both in vitro and in vivo. Subsequently, a Prussian blue-based nanomedical loading system with hyaluronic acid (HA) coating was constructed, and its effects were observed on the atherosclerosis regression. Colchicine and Cy5.5 were encapsulated within Prussian blue nanoparticles through self-assembly, followed by conjugation with hyaluronic acid to create col@PBNP@HA. The formulated col@PBNP@HA displayed a cubic shape and scattered distribution. Importantly, col@PBNP@HA demonstrated specific...

Mesenteric artery smooth muscle cells from hypertensive rats have increased microtubule acetylation
Conclusions:</p> Acetylation of tubulin at Lys40 is elevated in mesenteric arteries from the SHR. Furthermore, this study shows that tubacin has an endothelial-dependent bimodal effect on isoprenaline-mediated vasorelaxation.PMID:38373073 | DOI:10.1042/BCJ20230420 (Source: The Biochemical Journal)

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 914: Novel Antineoplastic Inducers of Mitochondrial Apoptosis in Human Cancer Cells
l I propose a new strategy to suppress human cancer completely with two entirely new drug compounds exploiting cancer&amp;rsquo;s Warburg effect characterized by a defective mitochondrial aerobic respiration, substituted by cytosolic aerobic fermentation/glycolysis of D-(+)-glucose into L-(+)-lactic acid. The two essentially new drugs, compound 1 [P(op)T(est)162] and compound 3 (PT167), represent new highly symmetric, four-bladed propeller-shaped polyammonium cations. The in vitro antineoplastic highly efficacious drug compound 3 represents a covalent combination of compound 1 and compound 2 (PT166). The intermedia...

Interventions to prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation in Dutch cardiothoracic centres: a  survey study
CONCLUSION: Despite the use of various preventive strategies, the reported incidence of POAF was similar in Dutch cardiothoracic centres. This study highlights limited use of prophylactic amiodarone and colchicine, despite recommendations by numerous guidelines, and restricted implementation of surgical strategies to prevent POAF.PMID:38358408 | DOI:10.1007/s12471-023-01849-1 (Source: Netherlands Heart Journal)
