A Swine Hind Limb Ischemia Model Useful for Testing Peripheral Artery Disease Therapeutics
AbstractCurrently, there is no large animal model of sustained limb ischemia suitable for testing novel angiogenic therapeutics for peripheral artery disease (PAD) such as drugs, genes, materials, or cells. We created a large animal model suitable for efficacy assessment of these therapies by testing 3 swine hind limb ischemia (HLI) variations and quantifying vascular perfusion, muscle histology, and limb function. Ligation of the ipsilateral external and bilateral internal iliac arteries produced sustained gait dysfunction compared to isolated external iliac or unilateral external and internal iliac artery ligations.

Clinical, Biochemical, Radiological, and Genetic Analyses of a Patient with VCP Gene Variant-Induced Paget ’s Disease of Bone
This study aimed to investigate the phenotypes and the pathogenic mutations of woman with early-onset PDB. The clinical features, bone mineral density, x-ray, radionuclide bone scan, and serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), and β-carboxy-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type 1 collagen (β-CTX) were measured in detail. The pathogenic mutations were identified by whole-exon sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. We also evaluated the effects of intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid on the bones of the patient and summarized the phenotypic characteristic...
