Abstract
The biomacromolecule silk fibroin (SF) may be constructed to promote biomimetic nucleation and nanostructures of inorganic nanomaterials, offering it a promising candidate for use in various biomimetic applications. We combined SF-NPs and ZIF-8-NPs to fabricate new drug vehicles that effectively release the drug. SF nanoparticles (SF-NPs) were assembled into quercetin (QCT), a myocardial drug added to fabricate QSF-NPs. By acting as a template for the ZIF-8 nucleation onto the surface, the QSF-NPs fabricated core-shell-structured nanocomposites (named QSF@Z-NCs) with ZIF-8 as the core-shell and the QSF-NPs. The biocompatibility analysis using the MTT assay revealed that the developed QCT, SF-NPs, and QSF@Z-NCs are not harmful to cardiac myoblast (H9C2) cells. The in vivo model demonstrated that H9C2 cells encouraged cardiomyocyte fibre regeneration in myocardial infarction rats. We fabricated a brand-new technique using H9C2 cells and QSF@Z-NCs that might encourage the healing processes in myocardial ischemia cells. This study's results demonstrate that it successfully treats myocardial injury.

[PMID: 37530646 DOI: 10.1002/kjm2.12733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is closely related to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage. Kruppel-like factor 6 (Klf6) can aggravate renal I/R injury. We aimed to elucidate the role of Klf6 in myocardial I/R damage as well as its potential mechanism. Myocardial I/R mice model and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-treated HL-1 cells were established. The levels of Fe2+ , MDA, lipid ROS, and ferroptosis-related proteins were measured for assessing ferroptosis. Infarct area, H&E staining, cardiac function, and cell viability were detected for evaluating myocardial injury. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blot, and RT-qPCR were applied for detecting the levels of related genes. The m6A modification of Klf6, as well as the relationships between Klf6 and Mettl3, Igf2bp2, or Acsl4 promoter, was evaluated using MeRIP, RNA immunoprecipitation, RNA pull-down, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and luciferase reporter assay accordingly.Klf6 protein and mRNA levels, as well as Klf6 m6A modification, were elevated in HL-1 cells subjected to H/R and in the heart tissues from I/R mice. In H/R-challenged HL-1 cells, the binding relationships between Klf6 mRNA and Igf2bp2 or Mettl3 were confirmed; moreover, Igf2bp2 or Mettl3 knockdown decreased the Klf6 level and inhibited Klf6 mRNA stability. Klf6 knockdown restrained H/R-triggered cell viability loss, improved I/R-induced myocardial injury, and inhibited ferroptosis in myocardial I/R damage models. Klf6 directly bound to the Acsl4 promoter and positively regulated its expression. Acsl4 overexpression compromised the Klf6 knockdown-generated protective effect in HL-1 cells.m6A modification-regulated Klf6 aggravated myocardial I/R damage through activating Acsl4-mediated ferroptosis, thereby providing one potential target for the treatment of myocardial I/R.

"We are in the forgotten corner!" a qualitative study of experiences and challenges among Chinese older women at the onset of acute myocardial infarction. Front Public Health 2023; 11:1242322. [PMID: 37808992 PMCID: PMC10558067 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1242322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common and serious cardiovascular disease (CVD) that is one of the leading causes of death among women globally and in China. However, there are sex-associated differences and inequalities in the detection and management of AMI, especially in older people. There is little research demonstrating how challenges and barriers affect older women's help-seeking behavior and health-related procedures in China. Purpose The objective of this study was to explore the experiences of older women with AMI, focusing on their perception, challenges, and coping strategies at the onset of AMI in Wuhan, China. Methods This study utilized a qualitative research design approach and conducted semi-structured, in-depth, and audio-recorded interviews with 18 women aged 65-84 years, purposively selected from two tertiary hospitals in Wuhan City from November 2021 to April 2022. Results Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used in this study to analyze the data on 18 participants and three major themes were generated: disease perception disorder, negative coping strategies, and barriers due to social-environmental contexts. Conclusion To reduce older women's delay in seeking help, healthcare professionals should provide public health education that emphasizes sex-related disparities, and age-specific knowledge-attitude aspects to high-risk groups. Policy-based and health administration recommendations, including e-health information support, access to care, and social-environmental factors, should be highlighted to promote women's health behavior.

Abstract
The healthcare industry is one application for data envelopment analysis (DEA) that can have significant benefits for standardizing health service delivery. This narrative review focuses on the application of DEA in emergency departments (EDs) and the management of emergency conditions such as acute ischemic stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This includes benchmarking the proportion of patients that receive treatment for these emergency conditions. The most frequent primary areas of study motivating work in DEA, EDs and management of emergency conditions including acute management of stroke are sorted into five distinct clusters in this study: (1) using basic DEA models for efficiency analysis in EDs, i.e., applying variable return to scale (VRS), or constant return to scale (CRS) to ED operations; (2) combining advanced and basic DEA approaches in EDs, i.e., applying super-efficiency with basic DEA or advanced DEA approaches such as additive model (ADD) and slack-based measurement (SBM) to clarify the dynamic aspects of ED efficiency throughout the duration of a first-aid program for AMI or heart attack; (3) applying DEA time series models in EDs like the early use of thrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in AMI treatment, and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke treatment, i.e., using window analysis and Malmquist productivity index (MPI) to benchmark the performance of EDs over time; (4) integrating other approaches with DEA in EDs, i.e., combining simulations, machine learning (ML), multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDM) by DEA to reduce patient waiting times, and futile transfers; and (5) applying various DEA models for the management of acute ischemic stroke, i.e., using DEA to increase the number of eligible acute ischemic stroke patients receiving EVT and other medical ischemic stroke treatment in the form of thrombolysis (alteplase and now Tenecteplase). We thoroughly assess the methodological basis of the papers, offering detailed explanations regarding the applied models, selected inputs and outputs, and all relevant methodologies. In conclusion, we explore several ways to enhance DEA's status, transforming it from a mere technical application into a strong methodology that can be utilized by healthcare managers and decision-makers.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a prevalent cardiovascular disease associated with high morbidity and mortality, posing a significant threat to human health. Therefore, early diagnosis of AMI has become a focal point of research. MiR-208 is specifically expressed in the heart and is involved in the regulation of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis, and other myocardial gene expressions. It is expected to be applied in the clinical detection of AMI due to its release by damaged myocardial cells within 3 hours of AMI. In this study, we developed a denatured bubble-mediated reverse transcription-accelerated strand exchange amplification (RT-ASEA) method to detect the early biomarker miR-208a of AMI. The novel approach allowed rapid amplification of miR-208a in 15 minutes, with good performance in terms of repeatability (CV < 6%), determination limit (1 × 100 pmol L-1), and linearity (R2 = 0.9690). Based on the analysis of 42 clinical samples, a strong correlation was observed between the Ct value of miR-208a detected by the RT-ASEA method and the cTnI concentration, considered the gold standard for diagnosis of AMI. The research suggested that the RT-ASEA method could be applied to distinguish between AMI and healthy groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.9976, with a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 100%. Optimized RT-ASEA is a reliable and efficient method for miRNA detection. Furthermore, this study provides crucial data support for the development of miR-208a as an early biomarker for AMI, which is of great significance in life and health.

Abstract
Despite significant improvement in prognosis, myocardial infarction (MI) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the globe. MI is a life-threatening cardiovascular condition that requires prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The primary objective of this research is to identify instances of anterior and inferior myocardial infarction by utilizing data obtained from Ultra-wideband radar technology in a hospital for patients of anterior and inferior MI. The collected data is preprocessed to extract spectral features. A novel feature engineering approach is designed to fuse temporal features and class prediction probability features derived from the spectral feature dataset. Several well-known machine learning models are implemented and fine-tuned to obtain optimal performance in the detection of anterior and inferior MI. The results demonstrate that integration of the fused feature set with machine learning models results in a notable improvement in both the accuracy and precision of MI detection. Notably, random forest (RF) and k-nearest neighbor showed superb performance with an accuracy of 98.8%. For demonstrating the capacity of models to generalize, K-fold cross-validation is carried out, wherein RF exhibits a mean accuracy of 99.1%. Furthermore, the examination of computational complexity indicates a low computational complexity, thereby indicating computational efficiency.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1178417. [PMID: 37745105 PMCID: PMC10517723 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1178417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The prognosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is closely linked to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In contrast to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), thrombolysis-transfer PCI (TTPCI) is influenced by multiple factors that lead to heterogeneity in cardiac function and prognosis. The aim of this study is to develop a nomogram model for predicting early LVEF in STEMI patients with TTPCI, based on routine indicators at admission. Method We retrospectively reviewed data from patients diagnosed with STEMI at five network hospitals of our PCI center who performed TTPCI as door-to-balloon time (the interval between arrival at the hospital and intracoronary balloon inflation) over 120 min, from February 2018 to April 2022. Categorical variables were analyzed using Pearson χ2 tests or Fisher exact tests, while Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare continuous variables. Subsequently, independent risk factors associated with reduced LVEF one week after TTPCI were identified through comprehensive analysis by combining All-Subsets Regression with Logistic Regression. Based on these indicators, a nomogram model was developed, and validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Bootstrap method. Results A total of 288 patients were analyzed, including 60 with LVEF < 50% and 228 with LVEF ≥ 50%. The nomogram model based on six independent risk factors including age, heart rate (HR), hypertension, smoking history, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and Killip class, demonstrated excellent discrimination with an AUC of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.78-0.89), predicted C-index of 0.84 and curve fit of 0.713. Conclusions The nomogram model incorporating age, HR, hypertension, smoking history, ALT and Killip class could accurately predict the early LVEF ≥ 50% probability of STEMI patients undergoing TTPCI, and enable clinicians' early evaluation of cardiac function in STEMI patients with TTPCI and early optimization of treatment.

Abstract
The Ca2+-permeable TRPV4 cation channel is expressed in neutrophils and contributes to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Here we tested the hypotheses that TRPV4 promotes neutrophil activation and subsequently aggregates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. TRPV4 protein was confirmed in neutrophils, and its function was assessed by the current and intracellular Ca2+ concentration elevations evoked by TRPV4 agonists. Furthermore, TRPV4 agonists dose-dependently promoted migration toward fMLP, reactive oxygen species production, and myeloperoxidase release, which were prevented by pretreatment with a selective TRPV4 antagonist, in neutrophils from TRPV4 knockout mice, Ca2+-free medium, or BAPTA-AM + Ca2+-free medium. Blockade of TRPV4 also inhibited the effects of commonly used neutrophil activators fMLP and PMA. Mechanically, TRPV4 regulated neutrophil activation, particularly reactive oxygen species production, by affecting PKCα, P38, and AKT via Ca2+ signaling. In addition, isolated hearts infused with neutrophils from wild-type mice showed additional myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries but not those infused with TRPV4 knockout. Our study reveals that TRPV4-mediated neutrophil activation enhances myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and it might be a novel therapeutic target for myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and other neutrophil-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Left atrial function index predicts poor outcomes in acute myocardial infarction patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1043775. [PMID: 37727308 PMCID: PMC10505662 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1043775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and aims The left atrial function index (LAFI) is an index that combines the left atrial emptying fraction, adjusted left atrial volume and stroke volume. The prognostic value of LAFI in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown. This study aims to determine whether LAFI predicts prognosis in AMI patients treated with PCI. Methods Patients with newly diagnosed AMI who were treated with PCI at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2020 to October 2021 were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at baseline and follow-up. The endpoint events included rehospitalization due to unstable angina, nonfatal myocardial infarction, rehospitalization due to heart failure and cardiovascular death. Results A total of 368 patients with AMI (92 women; mean age, 61.45 ± 11.91 years) were studied with a median follow-up of 14 ± 6.58 months. Sixty-nine patients had endpoint events. Patients who presented with events had a significantly lower LAFI than patients without events (34.25 ± 12.86 vs. 48.38 ± 19.42, P < 0.0001). Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that LAFI (HR = 0.97 [95% CI: 0.95; 0.99]; P = 0.012) and the Killip classification (HR = 1.51 [95% CI: 1.03; 2.22]; P = 0.034) were independently predictive of endpoint events. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients with LAFI ≤ 40.17 cm/ml/m2 had higher events than patients with LAFI > 40.17 cm/ml/m2 (HR = 8.53 [95% CI: 4.74; 15.35]; P < 0.0001). Conclusion LAFI is a strong and independent predictor of adverse events and can be used for risk stratification in patients with AMI treated with PCI.

Prognostic Significance of Nucleated RBCs in Predicting Mortality Among ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Admitted to the ICU. Cureus 2023; 15:e45445. [PMID: 37859905 PMCID: PMC10583491 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.45445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) are a readily available hematological parameter with potential for risk stratification for mortality. Therefore, our objective was to assess the predictive significance of NRBCs for ICU mortality among ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients admitted to an ICU. Additionally, we aimed to compare the predictive capacity of NRBCs with that of the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score and the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score. Methodology This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the ICU of the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) in Karachi, Pakistan, from the 1st of February to the 30th of June, 2023. We included adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed with STEMI who were subsequently admitted to the ICU. NRBCs were assessed in all patients over up to five days at 24-hour intervals, and the highest NRBC levels were used for the final analysis. Furthermore, the APACHE II score and the SOFA score were also documented. Patients were monitored throughout their ICU stay, and any adverse events or complications, such as re-intubation, bleeding necessitating transfusion, requirement for renal replacement therapy, arrhythmias, re-infarction, and mortality, were recorded. Results This study included 151 patients, of whom 97 (64.2%) were male, with an average age of 61.1 ± 10.7 years. Patients with positive NRBCs had higher mean SOFA scores (7.4 ± 2.9 vs. 5.4 ± 2.6; p < 0.001) and APACHE II scores (14.6 ± 6.3 vs. 12.6 ± 5.5; p = 0.037) compared to those with negative NRBCs. The culprit vessel showed greater mean stenosis (%) in patients with positive NRBCs (98.8 ± 3.0% vs. 96.8 ± 5.7%; p = 0.004). Post-procedure thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade III was lower in patients with positive NRBCs (77.8% vs. 91.8% for positive vs. negative NRBCs, respectively). Moreover, patients with positive NRBCs experienced significantly higher mortality rates (63% vs. 8.2%; p < 0.001), a higher occurrence of arrhythmias (35.2% vs. 19.6%; p = 0.034), and an increased requirement for vasopressors/inotropic support (96.3% vs. 71.1%; p < 0.001) compared to those with negative NRBCs. NRBCs demonstrated superior discriminatory ability compared to the SOFA and APACHE II scores, with an area under the curve of 0.818 (95% CI: 0.738-0.899) for NRBCs, 0.774 (95% CI: 0.692-0.857) for SOFA, and 0.707 (95% CI: 0.613-0.801) for APACHE II. Positive NRBCs exhibited a sensitivity of 81.0% and a specificity of 81.7% in predicting ICU mortality. Conclusion In conclusion, positive NRBCs emerge as a robust and reliable prognostic indicator, strongly associated with an elevated risk of ICU mortality in STEMI patients. Moreover, the predictive power of positive NRBCs surpasses that of both SOFA and APACHE II scoring systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE Myocardial infarction (MI) is a coronary artery disorder with several complications, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and cardiac fibrosis. The current study is aimed to explore the protective effect of skimmin (SKI) on impaired heart tissues in MI. METHODS A mouse model of MI was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending artery. SKI was intragastric administration for 7 days after MI. Masson staining was then conducted to measure the area of fibrosis in the myocardium. The expression levels of collagen I and collagen III were analyzed using Western blot. The levels of glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and inflammatory factor were also detected. The expression of M1 polarization markers and M2 polarization markers in mice and LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Finally, the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in vitro were analyzed using transwell and EDU, respectively. RESULTS SKI improved cardiac function and cardiac fibrosis in mice with MI. SKI also decreased collagen I and collagen III expression, and inhibited inflammatory factor TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels. SKI decreased the levels of MDA and increased the levels of GSH and SOD. Meanwhile, SKI could promote M2 macrophage polarization in vivo and in vitro. SKI could also repress the migration and proliferation of VSMCs. CONCLUSIONS SKI may ameliorate inflammation, oxidative stress, and cardiac fibrosis of MI by promoting M2 polarization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most serious cardiovascular diseases, characterized by a rapid and irreversible decline in myocardial function. Early detection of patients with MI and prolonging the optimal therapeutic window of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are particularly important. This study aimed to identify the diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for acute myocardial infarction. METHOD We generated the AMI mouse models by ligating the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. Six time points-Sham, AMI 10-min, 1-h, 6-h, 24-h, and 72-h-were chosen to examine the molecular changes that occur during the AMI process. RNA-seq and DIA-MS were performed on the infarcted left ventricular tissues of AMI mice at each time point. Co-expression pattern genes were screened from myocardial infarction samples at different time points by time-series analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were used to examine these genes. Using the Interactive Gene/Protein Retrieval Tool (STRING) database, the protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed and the hub genes were identified. In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of hub genes, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed. An independent data set, GSE163772, confirmed the diagnostic value of hub genes further. RESULT We obtained the expression profiles at different time points after the occurrence of heart failure through high-throughput sequencing, and found 167 genes with similar expression patterns through time series analysis. The immune response and immune-related pathways had the greatest enrichment of these genes. Among them, Itgb2 Syk, Tlr4, Tlr2, Itgax, and Lcp2 may play key roles as hub genes. Combined with the results of proteomic analysis, it was found that the expression of Coro1a in both omics increased with time. The results of external validation showed that TLR2, ITGAX, and LCP2 had good predictive ability for AMI diagnosis. CONCLUSION Itgb2, Syk, Tlr4, Tlr2, Itgax, Lcp2 and Coro1a are considered to be the seven key genes significantly associated with AMI. Our results may provide potential targets for the prevention of adverse ventricular remodeling and the treatment of AMI.

Abstract
Background Geniposide, as a pharmacologically bioactive component, is derived from a classic and common Chinese herb, Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Geniposide has been shown to be effective for treating I/R injury in recent studies. Current effectively pharmaceutical treatments are scarce, and treatment based on geniposide may become a novel option. As far as we know, this research is the initial systematic evaluation of the protective effects of geniposide in I/R injury. Aim of the study This study is engrossed in evaluating the mechanism of action of geniposide in I/R injury through a preclinical systematic review with meta-analysis and network pharmacology. Materials and methods We built a systematic review which provided a view of effect and mechanism of geniposide for I/R injury. Based on seven databases, an open-ended search from their inception to August 31st, 2022, was conducted. Animal studies on the effects of geniposide in I/R injury were considered. The data was analyzed using Review Manager 5.3, and bias was assessed using the CAMARADES 10-item scale. 13 articles including 279 animals were selected finally. And network pharmacology was joined to elucidate the mechanism. Results According to the meta-analysis, in I/R injury, geniposide can attenuate cardiomyocytes viability and the size of MI, decrease the volume of cerebral infraction and neurological score, decrease serum ALT and AST activity, and downregulated serum Cr and BUN. The review found that geniposide protects against I/R injury by inhibiting apoptosis, oxidation, inflammation and improvement of autophagy and mitochondrial respiration, which is consistent with the results of the network pharmacology screening. Conclusion This preclinical systematic review including meta-analysis and network pharmacology, which was the first one summarizing the relationship between geniposide and ischemia diseases, shows a novel therapy for I/R injury and appears an enticing implication of geniposide in I/R injury, and further research is looked forward. Given the restricted quantity of included researches and the unclear risk of bias of the studies, we should interpret the results with caution.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of soft tissues can often be strongly correlated with the progression of various diseases, such as myocardial infarction (MI). However, the dynamic mechanical properties of cardiac tissues during MI progression remain poorly understood. Herein, we investigate the rheological responses of cardiac tissues at different stages of MI (i.e., early-stage, mid-stage, and late-stage) with atomic force microscopy-based microrheology. Surprisingly, we discover that all cardiac tissues exhibit a universal two-stage power-law rheological behavior at different time scales. The experimentally found power-law exponents can capture an inconspicuous initial rheological change, making them particularly suitable as markers for early-stage MI diagnosis. We further develop a self-similar hierarchical model to characterize the progressive mechanical changes from subcellular to tissue scales. The theoretically calculated mechanical indexes are found to markedly vary among different stages of MI. These new mechanical markers are applicable for tracking the subtle changes of cardiac tissues during MI progression.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a significant threat to human health and life. Xue-Fu-Zhu-Yu Decoction (XFZYD), a renowned traditional Chinese medicine prescription for treating myocardial infarction, is known to play a significant role in the management of MI. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. Through network pharmacology analysis of compound-target interactions, we have identified Carbonic Anhydrase II (CA2) as a critical target for XFZYD in the treatment of MI. Subsequently, we will embark on a target-based drug design approach with a focus on CA2 as the key target: Pharmacophore modeling: Two pharmacophore models were developed and validated to screen for small molecules with CA2 inhibitory features. Virtual screening: Based on two pharmacophore models, small molecules with the property of binding to the CA2 target were screened from a virtual screening library. Molecular docking: Molecular docking was employed to identify small molecules with stable binding affinity to CA2. ADMET prediction: ADMET models were utilized to screen for small molecules with favorable pharmacological properties. Molecular dynamics: Molecular dynamics simulations were further conducted to analyze the binding modes of the selected small molecules with CA2, ultimately resulting in the identification of Ligand 3 and Ligand 5 as small molecule inhibitors targeting CA2. Finally, the mechanisms underlying the anti-MI effects were discussed. The primary objective of this article is to uncover the mechanism by which XFZYD acts on MI and utilize it for drug development. These findings provide novel avenues for the development of anti-MI drugs.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

[PMID: 37670829 PMCID: PMC10476525 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1096348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The impact of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on the life span of residents in a transitioning region has not been studied in depth. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the changes in AMI-related resident deaths in a transitioning region in China. Methods A longitudinal, population-based study was performed to analyze the deaths with/of AMI in Pudong New Area (PNA), Shanghai from 2005 to 2021. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) of AMI in crude mortality rates (CMR), age-standardized mortality rates worldwide (ASMRW), and rates of years of life lost (YLLr) were calculated by the joinpoint regression. The impact of demographic and non-demographic factors on the mortality of residents who died with/of AMI was quantitatively analyzed by the decomposition method. Results In 7,353 residents who died with AMI, 91.74% (6,746) of them were died of AMI from 2005 to 2021. In this period, the CMR and ASMRW of residents died with/of AMI were 15.23/105 and 5.17/105 person-years, the AAPC of CMR was 0.01% (95% CI: -0.71,0.72, p = 0.989) and 0.06% (95% CI: -0.71,0.84, p = 0.868), and the ASMRW decreased by 2.83% (95% CI: -3.66,-2.00, p < 0.001) and 2.76% (95% CI: -3.56,-1.95, p < 0.001), respectively. The CMR of people died of AMI showed a downward trend (all p < 0.05) in people ≥60 years but an upward trend [AAPC = 2.47% (95% CI: 0.07,4.94, p = 0.045)] in people of 45-59 years. The change in CMR of people died with/of AMI caused by demographic factors was 28.70% (95% CI: 12.99,46.60, p = 0.001) and 28.07% (95% CI: 12.71,45.52, p = 0.001) per year, respectively. Conclusion Preventative strategies for AMI should be applied to enhance the health management of residents aged 45-59 years or with comorbidities in the transitioning region.

A prospective analysis of clinical implications of acute hyperglycemia in STE-ACS patients. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:406. [PMID: 37596526 PMCID: PMC10439549 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03440-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute hyperglycemia is considered an independent prognosticator of both in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed To analyze the incidence of acute hyperglycemia and its impact on the adverse in-hospital outcome in patients with STE-ACS undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS In this study, we enrolled patients presenting with STE-ACS and undergoing primary PCI at a tertiary care cardiac center. Acute hyperglycemia was defined as random plasma glucose (RBS) > 200 mg/dl at the time of presentation to the emergency room. RESULTS Of the 4470 patients, 78.8% were males, and the mean age was 55.52 ± 11 years. In total, 39.4% (1759) were found to have acute hyperglycemia, and of these, 59% (1037) were already diagnosed with diabetes. Patients with acute hyperglycemia were observed to have a higher incidence of heart failure (8.2% vs. 5.5%; p < 0.001), contrast-induced nephropathy (10.9% vs. 7.4%; p < 0.001), and in-hospital mortality (5.7% vs. 2.5%; p < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, acute hyperglycemia was found to be an independent predictor of mortality with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.81 [1.28-2.55]. Multi-vessel disease (1.73 [1.17-2.56]), pre-procedure left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) (1.02 [1.0-1.03]), and Killip class III/IV (4.55 [3.09-6.71]) were found to be the additional independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Acute hyperglycemia, regardless of diabetic status, is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality among patients with STE-ACS undergoing primary PCI. Acute hyperglycemia, along with other significant predictors such as multi-vessel involvement, LVEDP, and Killip class III/IV, can be considered for the risk stratification of these patients.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) may potentiate cardiac remodeling and heart failure, while effective therapies for I/RI remain lacking. Circulating human plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (hEV) have great potential to protect against I/RI. However, the effective delivery of hEV in vivo remains a limiting factor for clinical application. The present study constructs a biomimetic delivery system of platelet membrane-fused hEV (P-hEV), utilizing the natural affinity of platelets for hEV delivery to the injured vascular and myocardial sites. The results show that platelet membrane and hEV membrane fusion can be achieved through repeated extrusion. Compared to non-modified hEV, P-hEV uptake is greatly enhanced in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stressed by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R). Functionally, P-hEV inhibits HUVEC and neonatal rat cardiomyocyte (NRCM) apoptosis and promotes HUVECs migration and tube formation under OGD/R stress in vitro. Intravenous delivery of P-hEV more effectively targets and accumulates at injury sites in the heart. Furthermore, P-hEV significantly enhances protection against acute I/RI and attenuates cardiac remodeling at three weeks post-I/RI. In conclusion, the platelet membrane-fused hEV delivery system enhances the target delivery of EV to protect against myocardial I/RI, presenting a novel drug delivery system for ischemic heart diseases.

Abstract
The treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) remains a substantial challenge due to excessive inflammation, massive cell death, and restricted regenerative potential, leading to maladaptive healing process and eventually heart failure. Current strategies of regulating inflammation or improving cardiac tissue regeneration have limited success. Herein, a hybrid hydrogel coassembled by acellular cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) and immunomodulatory glycopeptide is developed for endogenous tissue regeneration after MI. The hydrogel constructs a niche recapitulating the architecture of native ECM for attracting host cell homing, controlling macrophage differentiation via glycopeptide unit, and promoting endotheliocyte proliferation by enhancing the macrophage-endotheliocyte crosstalk, which coordinate the innate healing mechanism for cardiac tissue regeneration. In a rodent MI model, the hybrid hydrogel successfully orchestrates a proreparative response indicated by enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, increased angiogenesis, and improved cardiomyocyte survival, which alleviates infarct size, improves wall thicknesses, and enhances cardiac contractility. Furthermore, the safety and effectiveness of the hydrogel are demonstrated in a porcine MI model, wherein proteomics verifies the regulation of immune response, proangiogenesis, and accelerated healing process. Collectively, the injectable composite hydrogel serving as an immunomodulatory niche for promoting cell homing and proliferation, inflammation modulation, tissue remodeling, and function restoration provides an effective strategy for endogenous cardiac repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The first clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD) varies widely from unheralded myocardial infarction (MI) to mild, incidentally detected disease. The primary objective of this study was to quantify the association between different initial CAD diagnostic classifications and future heart failure. METHODS This retrospective study incorporated the electronic health record of a single integrated health care system. Newly diagnosed CAD was classified into a mutually exclusive hierarchy as MI, CAD with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), CAD with percutaneous coronary intervention, CAD only, unstable angina, and stable angina. An acute CAD presentation was defined when the diagnosis was associated with a hospital admission. New heart failure was identified after the CAD diagnosis. RESULTS Among 28 693 newly diagnosed CAD patients, initial presentation was acute in 47% and manifested as MI in 26%. Within 30 days of CAD diagnosis, MI [hazard ratio (HR) = 5.1; 95% confidence interval: 4.1-6.5] and unstable angina (3.2; 2.4-4.4) classifications were associated with the highest heart failure risk (compared to stable angina), as was acute presentation (2.9; 2.7-3.2). Among stable, heart failure-free CAD patients followed on average 7.4 years, initial MI (adjusted HR = 1.6; 1.4-1.7) and CAD with CABG (1.5; 1.2-1.8) were associated with higher long-term heart failure risk, but an initial acute presentation was not (1.0; 0.9-1.0). CONCLUSION Nearly 50% of initial CAD diagnoses are associated with hospitalization, and these patients are at high risk of early heart failure. Among stable CAD patients, MI remained the diagnostic classification associated with the highest long-term heart failure risk, however, having an initial acute CAD presentation was not associated with long-term heart failure.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies in recent years have identified an association between exposure to air pollutants and acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, the association between short-term ozone (O3) exposure and AMI hospitalization remains unclear, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, this study collected information on 24,489 AMI patients, including daily air pollutant and meteorological data in Henan, China, between 2016 and 2021. A distributed lagged nonlinear model combined with a Poisson regression model was used to estimate the nonlinear lagged effect of O3 on AMI hospitalizations. We also quantified the effects of O3 on the number of AMI hospitalizations, hospitalization days, and hospitalization costs. The results showed that single- and dual-pollution models of O3 at lag0, lag1, and lag (01-07) were risk factors for AMI hospitalizations, with the most significant effect at lag03 (RR = 1.132, 95% CI:1.083-1.182). Further studies showed that males, younger people (15-64 years), warm seasons, and long sunshine duration were more susceptible to O3. Hospitalizations attributable to O3 during the study period accounted for 11.66% of the total hospitalizations, corresponding to 2856 patients, 33,492 hospital days, and 90 million RMB. Maintaining O3 at 10-130 µg/m3 can prevent hundreds of AMI hospitalizations and save millions of RMB per year in Henan, China. In conclusion, we found that short-term exposure to O3 was significantly associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for AMI in Henan, China, and that further reductions in ambient O3 levels may have substantial health and economic benefits for patients and local healthcare facilities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both pathological and normal processes depend on proteins. In this study, plasma protein profiles were analyzed by a novel proximity extension assay (PEA) to identify potential pathogenic mechanisms and diagnostic biomarkers in patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS In this study, we identified a total of 92 plasma proteins using the Olink Target 96 Cardiovascular III panel in a cohort consisting of 30 healthy controls (HC), 28 patients with unstable angina (UA) and 30 patients with AMI. Subsequently, we conducted a differential expression analysis to identify protein molecules that were specifically expressed in patients with AMI. To gain insights into the potential functional mechanisms of these differentially expressed molecules, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. Following that, the utilization of least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression facilitated the identification of potential protein biomarkers, enabling the differentiation between AMI and UA. A diagnostic model was subsequently developed through logistic regression, and the effectiveness of these markers was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Ultimately, the diagnostic capabilities of these potential biomarkers were validated in an independent validation cohort consisting of 30 UA cases and 30 AMI cases. RESULTS In this study, a comprehensive analysis of plasma proteins identified a total of 92 proteins. Further analysis using analysis of variance revealed that 25 proteins exhibited specific expression in the AMI group compared to the HC and UA groups. Additionally, KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that these differentially expressed proteins were primarily associated with the activation of cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and GnRH signaling pathway. AGRP, TGM2, IL6, GH1, and CA5A were identified through LASSO regression as prospective protein biomarkers for distinguishing between UA and AMI. The diagnostic model comprising these five proteins exhibited exceptional performance in both the discovery and validation datasets, surpassing AUC values of 0.9. CONCLUSION The findings of our study provide additional insights into the involvement of the inflammatory response and AKT cascade response in the development of AMI. Moreover, we have identified potential protein markers that could be utilized for the accurate diagnosis of AMI. These results offer a fresh perspective for clinical decision-making in the context of AMI.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemic/reperfusion (IR) injury is a global cardiovascular disease with high mortality and morbidity. Therapeutic interventions for myocardial ischemia involve restoring the occluded coronary artery. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) inevitably impair the cardiomyocytes during the ischemic and reperfusion phases. Antioxidant therapy holds great promise against myocardial IR injury. The current therapeutic methodologies for ROS scavenging depend predominantly on administering antioxidants. Nevertheless, the intrinsic drawbacks of antioxidants limit their further clinical transformation. The use of nanoplatforms with versatile characteristics greatly benefits drug delivery in myocardial ischemic therapy. Nanoplatform-mediated drug delivery significantly improves drug bioavailability, increases therapeutic index, and reduces systemic toxicity. Nanoplatforms can be specifically and reasonably designed to enhance molecule accumulation at the myocardial site. The present review initially summarizes the mechanism of ROS generation during the process of myocardial ischemia. The understanding of this phenomenon will facilitate the advancement of innovative therapeutic strategies against myocardial IR injury. The latest developments in nanomedicine for treating myocardial ischemic injury are then discussed. Finally, the current challenges and perspectives in antioxidant therapy for myocardial IR injury are addressed.

Effects of quercetin supplementation on endothelial dysfunction biomarkers and depression in post-myocardial infarction patients: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2023; 56:73-80. [PMID: 37344086 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.04.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction and depression are highly prevalent in patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI). Epidemiological studies have pointed out that a diet rich in flavonoids, e.g., quercetin, can prevent the development of these biological phenomena. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of quercetin supplementation on the levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and on depression in post-MI subjects. METHODS Eighty-eight post-MI patients who had experienced their first MI (body mass index ≤35 kg/m2, age 30-65 years) were recruited from the Rasool-e-Akram and Afshar Hospitals, Iran, and included in this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel study. The participants were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of 500 mg quercetin (n = 44) or placebo (n = 44) for 8 weeks. Serum concentrations of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were quantified by ELISA and depression levels were assessed using the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II) questionnaire at baseline and at 8-week follow-up. RESULTS Seventy-six participants completed the study, but the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was conducted for all 88 participants who were randomized into the intervention groups. No significant changes in serum concentrations of ICAM-1 or VCAM-1 (P = 0.21 and P = 0.80, respectively) were observed after 8 weeks of quercetin supplementation versus placebo. In addition, depression levels did not differ significantly between the quercetin and placebo groups. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated that in post-MI patients, daily supplementation with quercetin (500 mg/day) for 8 weeks did not affect endothelial dysfunction biomarkers and depression levels. This trial was registered at IRCT.ir as IRCT20190428043405N1.

Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), comprising unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI), is the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently, lacking effective strategies for classifying ACS hinders the prognosis improvement of ACS patients. Disclosing the nature of metabolic disorders holds the potential to reflect disease progress and high-throughput mass spectrometry-based metabolic analysis is a promising tool for large-scale screening. Herein, a hollow crystallization COF capsuled MOF hybrids (UiO-66@HCOF) assisted serum metabolic analysis is developed for the early diagnosis and risk stratification of ACS. UiO-66@HCOF exhibits unrivaled chemical and structural stability as well as endowing satisfying desorption/ionization efficiency in the detection of metabolites. Paired with machine learning algorithms, early diagnosis of ACS is achieved with the area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.945 for validation sets. Besides, a comprehensive ACS risk stratification method is established, and the AUC value for the discrimination of ACS from healthy controls, and AMI from UA are 0.890, and 0.928. Moreover, the AUC value of the subtyping of AMI is 0.964. Finally, the potential biomarkers exhibit high sensitivity and specificity. This study makes metabolic molecular diagnosis a reality and provided new insight into the progress of ACS.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that miRNAs play an important role in the pathogenesis of myocardial fibrosis. This study aimed to identify a new pathway of miR-212-5p in the activation of human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs) induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). First, we found that KLF4 protein was markedly decreased in OGD-induced HCFs. Then, bioinformatics analysis and verification experiments were used to identify the existence of an interaction of KLF4 with miR-212-5p. Functional experiments indicated that OGD significantly upregulated the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) in HCFs, which positively regulated miR-212-5p transcription by binding to its promoter. MiR-212-5p inhibited the expression of Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) protein by binding to the 3' untranslated coding regions (UTRs) of KLF4 mRNA. Inhibition of miR-212-5p effectively inhibited the activation of OGD-induced HCFs by upregulating KLF4 expression and inhibited cardiac fibrosis in vivo and in vitro.

[PMID: 37614585 PMCID: PMC10443106 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaccao.2023.03.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms with a high risk of thrombosis, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, outcomes after AMI have not been thoroughly characterized. Objectives The purpose of this study was to characterize outcomes after AMI in patients with MPNs compared with patients without MPNs. Methods Patients with a primary admission of AMI from January 2006 to December 2018 were identified using the National Inpatient Sample. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital death or cardiac arrest (CA) and major bleeding. Propensity score weighting was used to compare outcomes between MPN and non-MPN groups. Results A total of 1,644,304 unweighted admissions for AMI were included; of these admissions, 5,374 (0.3%) were patients with MPNs. After propensity score weighting, patients with MPNs had a lower risk of in-hospital death or CA (OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.82-0.84) but a higher risk of major bleeding (OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.28-1.30) compared with non-MPN patients. There was a decreasing temporal rate of in-hospital death or CA and bleeding in patients without MPNs (Ptrend < 0.001 for both). However, there was an increasing temporal rate of in-hospital death or CA (Ptrend < 0.001) and a stable rate of major bleeding (Ptrend = 0.48) in patients with MPNs. Conclusions Among patients hospitalized with AMI, patients with MPNs have a lower risk of in-hospital death or CA compared with patients without MPNs, although they have a higher risk of bleeding. More investigation is needed in order to improve post-AMI bleeding outcomes in patients with MPN.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) in young athletes is very rare but can have serious consequences, including sudden cardiac death (SCD), an increased proarrhythmic burden in future life, and/or heart failure. We present two cases of young athletes with MI. They did not have previous symptoms, traditional risk factors, or a family history of MI. One case involves a 37-year-old male amateur athlete who experienced two MI following intense physical exertion, likely due to the erosion of an insignificant atherosclerotic plaque caused by a sudden increase in blood pressure during exercise. The second case describes a 36-year-old male semi-professional runner who collapsed at the finish line of a half-marathon and was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The heart's oxygen demand-supply mismatch during intensive exercise led to MI. Following the case presentation, we discuss the most common causes of MI in young athletes and their mechanisms, including spontaneous coronary artery dissection, chest trauma, abnormalities of the coronary arteries, coronary artery spasm, plaque erosion, hypercoagulability, left ventricular hypertrophy, and anabolic steroids use.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a serious threat to human health. Although monotherapy with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) or adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) has been reported to have positive effect on the treatment of MI, a satisfactory outcome has not yet been achieved. In recent years, combination therapy has attracted widespread interest. Herein, we explored the synergistic therapeutic effect of combination therapy with PEMFs and ADSCs on MI and found that the combination of PEMFs and ADSCs effectively reduced infarct size, inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis and protected the cardiac function in mice with MI. In addition, bioinformatics analysis and RT-qPCR showed that the combination therapy could affect apoptosis by regulating the expression of miR-20a-5p. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay also confirmed that the miR-20a-5p could target E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) and inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating the E2F1/p73 signaling pathway. Therefore, our study systematically demonstrated the effectiveness of combination therapy on the inhibition of cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating the miR-20a-5p/E2F1/p73 signaling pathway in mice with MI. Thus, our study underscored the effectiveness of the combination of PEMFs and ADSCs and identified miR-20a-5p as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of MI in the future.

Abstract
Importance The magnitude of cognitive change after incident myocardial infarction (MI) is unclear. Objective To assess whether incident MI is associated with changes in cognitive function after adjusting for pre-MI cognitive trajectories. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study included adults without MI, dementia, or stroke and with complete covariates from the following US population-based cohort studies conducted from 1971 to 2019: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study, Cardiovascular Health Study, Framingham Offspring Study, Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, and Northern Manhattan Study. Data were analyzed from July 2021 to January 2022. Exposures Incident MI. Main Outcomes and Measures The main outcome was change in global cognition. Secondary outcomes were changes in memory and executive function. Outcomes were standardized as mean (SD) T scores of 50 (10); a 1-point difference represented a 0.1-SD difference in cognition. Linear mixed-effects models estimated changes in cognition at the time of MI (change in the intercept) and the rate of cognitive change over the years after MI (change in the slope), controlling for pre-MI cognitive trajectories and participant factors, with interaction terms for race and sex. Results The study included 30 465 adults (mean [SD] age, 64 [10] years; 56% female), of whom 1033 had 1 or more MI event, and 29 432 did not have an MI event. Median follow-up was 6.4 years (IQR, 4.9-19.7 years). Overall, incident MI was not associated with an acute decrease in global cognition (-0.18 points; 95% CI, -0.52 to 0.17 points), executive function (-0.17 points; 95% CI, -0.53 to 0.18 points), or memory (0.62 points; 95% CI, -0.07 to 1.31 points). However, individuals with incident MI vs those without MI demonstrated faster declines in global cognition (-0.15 points per year; 95% CI, -0.21 to -0.10 points per year), memory (-0.13 points per year; 95% CI, -0.22 to -0.04 points per year), and executive function (-0.14 points per year; 95% CI, -0.20 to -0.08 points per year) over the years after MI compared with pre-MI slopes. The interaction analysis suggested that race and sex modified the degree of change in the decline in global cognition after MI (race × post-MI slope interaction term, P = .02; sex × post-MI slope interaction term, P = .04), with a smaller change in the decline over the years after MI in Black individuals than in White individuals (difference in slope change, 0.22 points per year; 95% CI, 0.04-0.40 points per year) and in females than in males (difference in slope change, 0.12 points per year; 95% CI, 0.01-0.23 points per year). Conclusions This cohort study using pooled data from 6 cohort studies found that incident MI was not associated with a decrease in global cognition, memory, or executive function at the time of the event compared with no MI but was associated with faster declines in global cognition, memory, and executive function over time. These findings suggest that prevention of MI may be important for long-term brain health.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that induces myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI), which leads to cardiac dysfunction and even lethal reperfusion injury. MiR-122 is a liver-specific miRNA associated with coronary heart disease, but its role in pyroptosis activation in myocardial I/RI remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether miR-122 inhibition exerts myocardial I/RI protection in in vivo and in vitro models. An I/RI model was established in vivo using C57BL/J6 male mice. MiR-122 expression was upregulated in the heart tissues from the I/RI group. Quantitative results of echocardiography parameters showed that miR-122 inhibition improved cardiac function and downregulated interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, caspase 1, and caspase 11. However, pretransfection with recombinant adeno-associated virus type 9 encoding a DUSP4-specific siRNA (AAV9-siDUSP4) blocked the protective effects of miR-122 inhibition. A hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was established to mimic the I/R condition in vitro using H9C2 cells. Results showed that miR-122 inhibition increased superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) and cell viability and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) level, IL-1β, IL-18, caspase 1, caspase 11, and cell death. These protective effects were abolished by transfection with DUSP4-specific siRNA. In summary, miR-122 expression is upregulated in I/RI, and miR-122 inhibition alleviates I/RI by suppressing pyroptosis through targeting DUSP4. Thus, miR-122 may be a novel therapeutic target for treating myocardial I/RI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The mortality rate of heart attacks has decreased due to various preventive factors and the development of early diagnostic resuscitation measures, but the long-term prognosis remains poor. The present study aimed to identify novel serum biomarkers in STEMI patients and explored a possible new mechanism of STEMI from an immune molecular angle with bioinformatics analysis. METHODS Gene expression profiles were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differential gene analysis, machine learning algorithms, gene set enrichment analysis, and immune cell infiltration analysis were conducted using R software. RESULTS We identified 146 DEGs (differentially expressed genes) in the integrated dataset between the STEMI and CAD (coronary artery disease) groups. Immune infiltration analysis indicated that eleven cell types were differentially infiltrated. Through correlation analysis, we further screened 25 DEGs that showed a high correlation with monocytes and neutrophils. Afterwards, five genes consistently selected by all three machine learning algorithms were considered candidate genes. Finally, we identified a hub gene (ADM) as a biomarker of STEMI. AUC curves showed that ADM had more than 80% high accuracy in all datasets. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we explored a potentially new mechanism of STEMI from an immune molecular perspective, which might provide insights into the pathogenesis of STEMI. ADM positively correlated with monocytes and neutrophils, suggesting its potential role in the immune response during STEMI. Additionally, we validated the diagnostic performance of ADM in two external datasets, which could help to develop new diagnostic tools or therapeutic strategies.

Effect of trehalose on heart functions in rats model after myocardial infarction: assessment of novel intraventricular pressure and heart rate variability. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1182628. [PMID: 37469485 PMCID: PMC10353053 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1182628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Myocardial infarctions remain a leading cause of global deaths. Developing novel drugs to target cardiac remodeling after myocardial injury is challenging. There is an increasing interest in exploring natural cardioprotective agents and non-invasive tools like intraventricular pressure gradients (IVPG) and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis in myocardial infarctions. Trehalose (TRE), a natural disaccharide, shows promise in treating atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and neurodegenerative disorders. Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of TRE in improving cardiac functions measured by IVPG and HRV and reducing myocardial remodeling following myocardial infarction in rat model. Methods Rats were divided into three groups: sham, myocardial infarction (MI), and trehalose-treated MI (TRE) groups. The animals in the MI and TRE groups underwent permanent ligation of the left anterior descending artery. The TRE group received 2% trehalose in their drinking water for four weeks after the surgery. At the end of the experiment, heart function was assessed using conventional echocardiography, novel color M-mode echocardiography for IVPG evaluation, and HRV analysis. After euthanasia, gross image scoring, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to evaluate inflammatory reactions, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Results The MI group exhibited significantly lower values in multiple IVPG parameters. In contrast, TRE administration showed an ameliorative effect on IVPG changes, with results comparable to the sham group. Additionally, TRE improved HRV parameters, mitigated morphological changes induced by myocardial infarction, reduced histological alterations in wall mass, and suppressed inflammatory reactions within the infarcted heart tissues. Furthermore, TRE demonstrated antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-fibrotic properties. Conclusion The investigation into the effect of trehalose on a myocardial infarction rat model has yielded promising outcomes, as evidenced by improvements observed through conventional echocardiography, histological analysis, and immunohistochemical analysis. While minor trends were noticed in IVPG and HRV measurements. However, our findings offer valuable insights and demonstrate a correlation between IVPG, HRV, and other traditional markers of echo assessment in the myocardial infarction vs. sham groups. This alignment suggests the potential of IVPG and HRV as additional indicators for future research in this field.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death worldwide. After the occurrence of MI, the heart frequently undergoes serious pathological remodeling, leading to excessive dilation, electrical disconnection between cardiac cells, and fatal functional damage. Hence, extensive efforts have been made to suppress pathological remodeling and promote the repair of the infarcted heart. In this study, we developed a hydrogel cardiac patch that can provide mechanical support, electrical conduction, and tissue adhesiveness to aid in the recovery of an infarcted heart function. Specifically, we developed a conductive and adhesive hydrogel (CAH) by combining the two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXene with natural biocompatible polymers [i.e., gelatin and dextran aldehyde (dex-ald)]. The CAH was formed within 250 s of mixing the precursor solution and could be painted. The hydrogel containing 3.0 mg/mL MXene, 10% gelatin, and 5% dex-ald exhibited appropriate material characteristics for cardiac patch applications, including a uniform distribution of MXene, a high electrical conductivity (18.3 mS/cm), cardiac tissue-like elasticity (30.4 kPa), strong tissue adhesion (6.8 kPa), and resistance to various mechanical deformations. The CAH was cytocompatible and induced cardiomyocyte (CM) maturation in vitro, as indicated by the upregulation of connexin 43 expression and a faster beating rate. Furthermore, CAH could be painted onto the heart tissue and remained stably adhered to the beating epicardium. In vivo animal studies revealed that CAH cardiac patch treatment significantly improved cardiac function and alleviated the pathological remodeling of an infarcted heart. Thus, we believe that our MXene-based CAH can potentially serve as a promising platform for the effective repair of various electroactive tissues including the heart, muscle, and nerve tissues.

Abstract
The quantitative content of HIF-1α- and HIF-2α-immunopositive brain neurons in Wistar rats was studied 1, 15, and 30 days after modeling of myocardial infarction. In rats of the control group, the immunohistochemical markers HIF-1α and HIF-2α in the prefrontal cortex of the brain were determined in few pale-colored neurons and capillaries. One day after myocardial infarction simulation, the number of HIF-1α+ neurons increased, and on day 15 it reached the maximum level: the concentration of immunopositive neurons and capillaries increased by 24.7 and 18.4%, respectively, in comparison with the control. After 30 days, the number of HIF-1α+ structures decreased, but remained above the control values. The number of neurons and capillaries positively stained for HIF-2α peaked only on day 30 of the postinfarction period.

Abstract
Recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), with a direct repair effect on injured cardiomyocytes against myocardial infarction ischemia-reperfusion-injury (IRI), displays a poor effect owing to the limited cardiac targeting efficacy. There are almost no reports of nanomaterials that deliver G-CSF to the IRI site. Herein, we propose a way to protect G-CSF by constructing one layer of nitric oxide (NO)/hydrogen sulfide (H2S) nanomotors on its outside. NO/H2S nanomotors with specific chemotactic ability to high expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS)/induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) at the IRI site can deliver G-CSF to the IRI site efficiently. Meanwhile, superoxide dismutase is covalently bound to the outermost part, reducing ROS at the IRI site through a cascade effect with NO/H2S nanomotors. The synergistic effect between NO and H2S on the effective regulation of the IRI microenvironment can not only avoid toxicity caused by excessive concentration of a single gas but also reduce inflammation level and relieve calcium overload, so as to promote G-CSF to play a cardioprotective role.

Abstract
Adverse ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) is progressive ventricular dilatation associated with heart failure for weeks or months and is currently regarded as the most critical sequela of MI. It is explained by inadequate tissue repair due to dysregulated inflammation during the acute stage; however, its pathophysiology remains unclear. Tenascin-C (TNC), an original member of the matricellular protein family, is highly up-regulated in the acute stage after MI, and a high peak in its serum level predicts an increased risk of adverse ventricular remodeling in the chronic stage. Experimental TNC-deficient or -overexpressing mouse models have suggested the diverse functions of TNC, particularly its pro-inflammatory effects on macrophages. The present study investigated the roles of TNC during human myocardial repair. We initially categorized the healing process into four phases: inflammatory, granulation, fibrogenic, and scar phases. We then immunohistochemically examined human autopsy samples at the different stages after MI and performed detailed mapping of TNC in human myocardial repair with a focus on lymphangiogenesis, the role of which has recently been attracting increasing attention as a mechanism to resolve inflammation. The direct effects of TNC on human lymphatic endothelial cells were also assessed by RNA sequencing. The results obtained support the potential roles of TNC in the regulation of macrophages, sprouting angiogenesis, the recruitment of myofibroblasts, and the early formation of collagen fibrils during the inflammatory phase to the early granulation phase of human MI. Lymphangiogenesis was observed after the expression of TNC was down-regulated. In vitro results revealed that TNC modestly down-regulated genes related to nuclear division, cell division, and cell migration in lymphatic endothelial cells, suggesting its inhibitory effects on lymphatic endothelial cells. The present results indicate that TNC induces prolonged over-inflammation by suppressing lymphangiogenesis, which may be one of the mechanisms underlying adverse post-infarct remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), a standard biochemical measure of acute myocardial infarction, and serum uric acid (sUA) has not been studied. This study aimed to determine the association between sUA and CPK in the general population of the US. METHODS Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2018 were used, including a total of 8,431 subjects aged ≥ 30 years. Weighted multiple regression analysis was used to estimate the independent relationship between sUA and CPK. Fitted smoothing curves and weighted generalized additive models were also performed. RESULTS We found a positive relationship between sUA and CPK after adjusting for potential confounders. In subgroup analyses stratified by sex and race/ethnicity, sUA was positively correlated with CPK in each subgroup. The association between sUA and CPK followed an inverted U-shaped curve in females (turning point: sUA = 428.3 μmol/L). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that sUA level was positively correlated with CPK in the general population of the US. However, CPK increased with sUA until the turning point (sUA = 428.3 μmol/L) in females. Fundamental research and large sample prospective studies are needed to determine the exact mechanism of the association between sUA and CPK.

Abstract
The biomimetic construction of a microstructural-mechanical-electrical anisotropic microenvironment adaptive to the native cardiac tissue is essential to repair myocardial infarction (MI). Inspired by the 3D anisotropic characteristic of the natural fish swim bladder (FSB), a novel flexible, anisotropic, and conductive hydrogel was developed for tissue-specific adaptation to the anisotropic structural, conductive, and mechanical features of the native cardiac extracellular matrix. The results revealed that the originally stiff, homogeneous FSB film was tailored to a highly flexible anisotropic hydrogel, enabling its potential as a functional engineered cardiac patch (ECP). In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the enhanced electrophysiological activity, maturation, elongation, and orientation of cardiomyocytes (CMs), and marked MI repair performance with reduced CM apoptosis and myocardial fibrosis, thereby promoting cell retention, myogenesis, and vascularization, as well as improving electrical integration. Our findings offer a potential strategy for functional ECP and provides a novel strategy to bionically simulate the complex cardiac repair environment.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a hormonal cascade that contributes to several disorders: systemic hypertension, heart failure, kidney disease, and neurodegenerative disease. Activation of the RAS can promote inflammation and fibrosis. Drugs that target the RAS can be classified into 3 categories, AT1 angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and renin inhibitors. The therapeutic efficacy of current RAS-inhibiting drugs is limited by poor penetration across the blood-brain barrier, low bioavailability, and to some extent, short half-lives. Nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery systems (DDSs) are possible emerging alternatives to overcome such limitations. Nanoparticles are ideally 1-100 nm in size and are considered efficient DDSs mainly due to their unique characteristics, including water dispersity, prolonged half-life in blood circulation, smaller size, and biocompatibility. Nano-scale DDSs can reduce the drug dosage frequency and acute toxicity of drugs while enhancing therapeutic success. Different types of nanoparticles, such as chitosan, polymeric, and nanofibers, have been examined in RAS-related studies, especially in hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and COVID-19. In this review article, we summarize the physical and chemical characteristics of each nanoparticle to elaborate on their potential use in RAS-related nano-drug delivery research and clinical application.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury contributes to severe injury for cardiomyocytes. In this study, we aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of TFAP2C on cell autophagy in MI/R injury. MTT assay measured cell viability. The cells injury was evaluated by commercial kits. IF detected the level of LC3B. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay, ChIP or RIP assay were performed to verify the interactions between crucial molecules. We found that TFAP2C and SFRP5 expression were decreased while miR-23a-5p and Wnt5a increased in AC16 cells in response to H/R condition. H/R induction led to cell injury and induced autophagy, which were reversed by TFAP2C overexpression or 3-MA treatment (an autophagy inhibitor). Mechanistically, TFAP2C suppressed miR-23a expression through binding to miR-23a promoter, and SFRP5 was a target gene of miR-23a-5p. Moreover, miR-23a-5p overexpression or rapamycin reversed the protective impacts of TFAP2C overexpression on cells injury and autophagy upon H/R condition. In conclusion, TFAP2C inhibited autophagy to improve H/R-induced cells injury by mediating miR-23a-5p/SFRP5/Wnt5a axis.

Yi K, Liu C, Xu Z, Xu J, Dong X, Zhang X, Wang W, Ding J, You T. Transcatheter closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect: A systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis. Heliyon 2023; 9:e16708. [PMID: 37303539 PMCID: PMC10250756 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e16708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are one of the mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Because of the high risks of mortality and postoperative complications, a new alternative method is needed. With the development of interventional medicine, transcatheter closure has been increasingly performed for postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defects (PMIVSDs). The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility and safety of transcatheter closure of PMIVSDs by meta-analysis. Methods The included studies were mainly single-arm studies of transcatheter closure of PMIVSDs. We compared VSD size, device size, preoperative risk factors and interventions among PMIVSD patients. We analysed the transcatheter closure success rate, the 30-day mortality rate, and the incidence of residual shunts. Results A total of 12 single-arm articles (284 patients) were included. The combined incidences of preoperative hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and diabetes were 66% [95% CI 0.56-0.75], 54% [95% CI 0.40-0.68], and 33% [95% CI] 0.21-0.46], respectively. Multiple studies reported the combined incidences of preoperative PCI, IABP, and CABG, which were 46% [95% CI 0.15-0.80], 60% [95% CI 0.44-0.75], and 8% [95% CI 0.02-0.18]. Eleven studies reported the number of successful closures and the 30-day mortality rate; the success rate was 90% [95% CI 0.86-0.94], and the 30-day mortality rate reached 27% [95% CI 0.86-0.94]. Conclusion For patients with PMIVSD, transcatheter closure in the acute phase can be used as a rescue measure, while in the chronic phase, it is more effective and has a lower mortality rate, but the effect of selection bias should be considered. Residual shunts are a long-term complication that have a high incidence and long-lasting effects on patients. More large, multicentre, randomized controlled trials are needed in the future to confirm the safety and reliability of transcatheter closure of PMIVSDs.

Naringenin facilitates M2 macrophage polarization after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion by promoting nuclear translocation of transcription factor EB and inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023; 38:1405-1419. [PMID: 36988289 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains an unsolved puzzle in medical circles. Naringenin (NAR) is a flavonoid with cardioprotective potential. The purpose of this article was to discuss the protective mechanism of NAR in MIRI by regulating macrophage polarization. The MIRI mouse model was established and perfused with NAR before surgery. In the in vitro experiment, macrophages RAW264.7 were treated with lipopolysaccharide to induce M1 polarization after pretreatment with NAR. Rescue experiments were carried out to validate the functions of transcription factor EB (TFEB), the NLR pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, and autophagy in macrophage polarization. NAR reduced histopathological injury and infarction of myocardial tissues in MIRI mice, inhibited M1 polarization and promoted M2 polarization of macrophages, diminished levels of pro-inflammatory factors, and augmented levels of anti-inflammatory factors. NAR facilitated TFEB nuclear translocation and inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Silencing TFEB or Nigericin partly nullified the effect of NAR on macrophage polarization. NAR increased autophagosome formation, autophagy flux, and autophagy level. Autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine partly invalidated the inhibition of NAR on the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. In animal experiments, NAR protected MIRI mice through the TFEB-autophagy-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Collectively, NAR inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and facilitated M2 macrophage polarization by stimulating TFEB nuclear translocation, thus protecting against MIRI.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a rare and heterogeneous disorder in newborns, which can predispose them to other cardiac conditions such as myocardial infarction (MI). This case report describes the clinical presentation of a premature infant born at 30 weeks of gestation, who developed cardiac failure due to myocardial ischemia. The newborn exhibited distal acrocyanosis and respiratory distress shortly after birth. Echocardiography revealed significant left ventricular hypercontractility and hypertrophy, along with moderate pericardial effusion, tricuspid regurgitation and mitral regurgitation. Despite treatment with furosemide and inotropes, the patient's condition deteriorated, leading to demise after 14 days. Early detection of MI in newborns with vascular complications and HCM plays a crucial role in their management. In conclusion, the coexistence of acute MI and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may be indicative of a fatal outcome.

Abstract
Purpose Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cardiovascular disease, and its underlying pathological mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to develop a diagnostic model to distinguish different subtypes of MI. Patients and Methods The gene expression profiles of MI from the GEO database and hypoxia-related genes (HRGs) from MSigDB were downloaded. Then, the different MI subtypes based on HRGs were identified with unsupervised clustering. The difference of expression patterns and hypoxic-immune status among different subtypes of MI were investigated. The diagnostic model to distinguish the different subtypes of MI was developed and validated. Results Based on HRGs, MI samples were divided into two subtypes, cluster A and cluster B. A total of 211 genes showed significant changes in expression between the two subtypes. Cluster A was characterized by high hypoxia status and low immunity status. Based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis, ROC analysis and LASSO regression algorithm, 5 genes were identified as potential diagnostic markers. Finally, a diagnostic model based on these 5 genes was established, which can distinguish the two subtypes well. Conclusion The five hub genes, including ANKRD36, HLTF, KIF3A, OXCT1 and VPS13A, may be associated with the different subtypes of MI.

Abstract
Background Metabolic abnormalities are associated with the occurrence, severity, and poor prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), some of which affect the antiplatelet efficacy of clopidogrel. Free fatty acids (FFAs) is a biomarker for metabolic abnormalities, and elevated FFAs is observed among CAD patients. Whether FFAs enhances residual platelet reactivity induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) while using clopidogrel was unknown. The purpose of our study is exploring the issue. Method Current study included 1,277 CAD patients using clopidogrel and used logistic regression to detect whether the higher level of FFAs is associated with high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR). We additionally performed subgroup and sensitivity analyses to evaluate the stability of the results. We defined HRPR as ADP-induced platelet inhibition rate (ADPi) < 50% plus ADP-induced maximum amplitude (MAADP) > 47 mm. Results 486 patients (38.1%) showed HRPR. The proportion of HRPR among patients with higher FFAs (>0.445 mmol/L) is greater than among patients with lower FFAs (46.4% vs. 32.6%, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that higher FFAs (>0.445 mmol/L) is independently associated with HRPR (adjusted OR = 1.745, 95% CI, 1.352-2.254). After subgroup and sensitivity analyses, the results remained robust. Conclusion The higher level of FFAs enhances residual platelet reactivity induced by ADP and is independently associated with clopidogrel HRPR.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miR)-143-3p is a potential regulatory molecule in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI), wherein its expression and pathological effects remains controversial. Thus, a mouse MI/RI and cell hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) models were built for clarifying the miR-143-3p's role in MI/RI. Following myocardial ischemia for 30 min, mice underwent reperfusion for 3, 6, 12 and 24 h. It was found miR-143-3p increased in the ischemic heart tissue over time after reperfusion. Cardiomyocytes transfected with miR-143-3p were more susceptible to apoptosis. Mechanistically, miR-143-3p targeted B cell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2). And miR-143-3p inhibition reduced cardiomyocytes apoptosis upon H/R, whereas it was reversed by a specific bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-737. Of note, miR-143-3p inhibition upregulated bcl-2 with better mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), reduced cytoplasmic cytochrome c (cyto-c) and caspase proteins, and minimized infarction area in mice upon I/R. Collectively, inhibition of miR-143-3p might alleviate MI/RI via targeting bcl-2 to limit mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. To our knowledge, this study further clarifies the miR-143-3p's pathological role in the early stages of MI/RI, and inhibiting miR-143-3p could be an effective treatment for ischemic myocardial disease.

Abstract
Background Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cardiac condition with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive medical treatment for MI, the development and outcomes of post-MI heart failure (HF) continue to be major factors contributing to poor post-MI prognosis. Currently, there are few predictors of post-MI heart failure. Methods In this study, we re-examined single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing datasets derived from the peripheral blood samples of patients with myocardial infarction, including patients who developed heart failure and those who did not develop heart failure after myocardial infarction. Using marker genes of the relevant cell subtypes, a signature was generated and validated using relevant bulk datasets and human blood samples. Results We identified a subtype of immune-activated B cells that distinguished post-MI HF patients from non-HF patients. Polymerase chain reaction was used to confirm these findings in independent cohorts. By combining the specific marker genes of B cell subtypes, we developed a prediction model of 13 markers that can predict the risk of HF in patients after myocardial infarction, providing new ideas and tools for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion Sub-cluster B cells may play a significant role in post-MI HF. We found that the STING1, HSPB1, CCL5, ACTN1, and ITGB2 genes in patients with post-MI HF showed the same trend of increase as those without post-MI HF.

Abstract
Nanoparticles containing thrombolytic medicines have been developed for thrombolysis applications in response to the increasing demand for effective, targeted treatment of thrombosis disease. In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in nanoparticles that can be navigated and driven by a magnetic field. However, there are few review publications concerning the application of magnetic nanoparticles in thrombolysis. In this study, we examine the current state of magnetic nanoparticles in the application of in vitro and in vivo thrombolysis under a static or dynamic magnetic field, as well as the combination of magnetic nanoparticles with an acoustic field for dual-mode thrombolysis. We also discuss four primary processes of magnetic nanoparticles mediated thrombolysis, including magnetic nanoparticle targeting, magnetic nanoparticle trapping, magnetic drug release, and magnetic rupture of blood clot fibrin networks. This review will offer unique insights for the future study and clinical development of magnetic nanoparticles mediated thrombolysis approaches.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, and leads to severe inflammation and health hazards. Our previous studies identified C66, a novel curcumin analogue, had pharmacological benefits in suppressing tissue inflammation. Therefore, the present study hypothesized C66 might improve cardiac function and attenuate structural remodeling after acute myocardial infarction. Administration of 5 mg/kg C66 for 4-week significantly improved cardiac function and decreased infarct size after myocardial infarction. C66 also effectively reduced cardiac pathological hypertrophy and fibrosis in non-infarct area. In vitro H9C2 cardiomyocytes, C66 also exerted the pharmacological benefits of anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptosis under hypoxic conditions Mechanistically, C66 inhibited cardiac inflammation and cardiomyocyte apoptosis by targeting on JNK phosphorylation, whereas replenishment of JNK activation abolished the cardioprotective benefits of C66 treatment. Taken together, curcumin analogue C66 inhibited the activation of JNK signaling, and possessed pharmacological benefits in alleviating myocardial infarction-induced cardiac dysfunction and pathological tissue injuries.
