Abstract
Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) have long been used as dialysis access in patients with end-stage renal disease; however, their maturation and long-term patency still fall short of clinical needs. Rodent models are irreplaceable to facilitate the study of mechanisms and provide reliable insights into clinical problems. The ideal rodent AVF model recapitulates the major features and pathology of human disease as closely as possible, and pre-induction of the uremic milieu is an important addition to AVF failure studies. Herein, we review different surgical methods used so far to create AVF in rodents, including surgical suturing, needle puncture, and the cuff technique. We also summarize commonly used evaluations after AVF placement. The aim was to provide recent advances and ideas for better selection and induction of rodent AVF models. At the same time, further improvements in the models and a deeper understanding of AVF failure mechanisms are expected.

Abstract
Vascular access is the lifeline for patients receiving haemodialysis as kidney replacement therapy. As a surgically created arteriovenous fistula (AVF) provides a high-flow conduit suitable for cannulation, it remains the vascular access of choice. In order to use an AVF successfully, the luminal diameter and the vessel wall of the venous outflow tract have to increase. This process is referred to as AVF maturation. AVF non-maturation is an important limitation of AVFs that contributes to their poor primary patency rates. To date, there is no clear overview of the overall role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in AVF maturation. The ECM is essential for vascular functioning, as it provides structural and mechanical strength and communicates with vascular cells to regulate their differentiation and proliferation. Thus, the ECM is involved in multiple processes that regulate AVF maturation, and it is essential to study its anatomy and vascular response to AVF surgery to define therapeutic targets to improve AVF maturation. In this review, we discuss the composition of both the arterial and venous ECM and its incorporation in the three vessel layers: the tunica intima, media, and adventitia. Furthermore, we examine the effect of chronic kidney failure on the vasculature, the timing of ECM remodelling post-AVF surgery, and current ECM interventions to improve AVF maturation. Lastly, the suitability of ECM interventions as a therapeutic target for AVF maturation will be discussed.

Abstract
Background Systemic cytokines are elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and on hemodialysis compared with the general population. However, whether cytokine levels interfere with vascular remodeling, increasing the risk of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure, remains unknown. Methods This is a case-control study of 64 patients who underwent surgery for AVF creation (32 with AVF maturation failure and 32 matching controls with successful maturation). A total of 74 cytokines, including chemokines, interferons, interleukins, and growth factors, were measured in preoperative plasma samples using multiplex assays. Sixty-two patients were included in the statistical analyses. Associations with AVF failure were assessed using paired comparisons and conditional logistic regressions accounting for paired strata. Results Seven cytokines were significantly higher in patients with AVF maturation failure than in matching controls (G-CSF, IL-6, MDC, RANTES, SDF-1α/β, TGFα, and TPO). Of these, G-CSF (odds ratio [OR]=1.71; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.05 to 2.79 per 10 pg/ml), MDC (OR=1.60, 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.38 per 100 pg/ml), RANTES (OR=1.55, 95% CI, 1.10 to 2.17 per 100 pg/ml), SDF-1α/β (OR=1.18, 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.33 per 1000 pg/ml), and TGFα (OR=1.39, 95% CI 1.003, 1.92 per 1 pg/ml) showed an incremental association by logistic regression. Conclusions This study identified a profile of plasma cytokines associated with adverse maturation outcomes in AVFs. These findings may open the doors for future therapeutics and markers for risk stratification.

Abstract
Lithospermum erythrorhizon (LE) is known in Korean traditional medicine for its potent therapeutic effect and antiviral activity. Currently, coronavirus (COVID-19) disease is a developing global pandemic that can cause pneumonia. A precise study of the infection and molecular pathway of COVID-19 is therefore obviously important. The compounds of LE were identified from the Natural Product Activity and Species Source (NPASS) database and screened by SwissADME. The targets interacted with the compounds and were selected using the Similarity Ensemble Approach (SEA) and Swiss Target Prediction (STP) methods. PubChem was used to classify targets linked to COVID-19. The protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks and signaling pathways–targets–bioactive compounds (STB) networks were constructed by RPackage. Lastly, we performed the molecular docking test (MDT) to verify the binding affinity between significant complexes through AutoDock 1.5.6. The Natural Product Activity and Species Source (NPASS) revealed a total of 82 compounds from LE, which interacted with 1262 targets (SEA and STP), and 249 overlapping targets were identified. The 19 final overlapping targets from the 249 targets and 356 COVID-19 targets were ultimately selected. A bubble chart exhibited that inhibition of the MAPK signaling pathway could be a key mechanism of LE on COVID-19. The three key targets (RELA, TNF, and VEGFA) directly related to the MAPK signaling pathway, and methyl 4-prenyloxycinnamate, tormentic acid, and eugenol were related to each target and had the most stable binding affinity. The three bioactive effects on the three key targets might be synergistic effects to alleviate symptoms of COVID-19 infection. Overall, this study shows that LE can play a role in alleviating COVID-19 symptoms, revealing that the three components (bioactive compounds, targets, and mechanism) are the most significant elements of LE against COVID-19. However, the promising mechanism of LE on COVID-19 is only predicted on the basis of mining data; the efficacy of the chemical compounds and the affinity between compounds and the targets in experiment was ignored, which should be further substantiated through clinical trials.

Abstract
The proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are essential events in venous neointimal hyperplasia (VNH), a culprit of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) malfunction. Mitotic arrest-deficient protein 2B (MAD2B) is a critical regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation in many scenarios. To address the role of MAD2B in VSMCs proliferation and migration during VNH, AVFs from patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) mice were used to evaluate MAD2B expression. In cultured VSMCs treated with platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), the effect of MAD2B on VSMCs proliferation and migration was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay, immunofluorescence, wound-healing scratch and transwell assays. Besides, we exploited different small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to explore the potential mechanisms in the issue. Furthermore, rapamycin was applied to reveal whether MAD2B-associated pathways were involved in its inhibitory effect on VSMCs proliferation and migration. Accordingly, we found that MAD2B expression was enhanced in AVFs from patients with ESRD, CKD mice and VSMCs stimulated by PDGF-BB. Meanwhile, inhibition of MAD2B alleviated VSMCs proliferation and migration while the number of ski-related novel gene (SnoN)-positive VSMCs was also increased in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, gene deletion of MAD2B decreased the level of SnoN protein in PDGF-BB-stimulated VSMCs. Furthermore, rapamycin suppressed the increased expressions of MAD2B and SnoN induced by PDGF-BB. Thus, our study demonstrates that inhibition of MAD2B suppresses the proliferation and migration of VSMCs during VNH via reducing SnoN expression. Moreover, rapamycin exerts an inhibitory effect on intimal hyperplasia, possibly via the MAD2B-SnoN axis.

Abstract
Vascular disorders frequently have differing clinical presentations among women and men. Sex differences exist in vascular access for hemodialysis; women have reduced rates of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation as well as fistula utilization compared with men. Inflammation is increasingly implicated in both clinical studies and animal models as a potent mechanism driving AVF maturation, especially in vessel dilation and wall thickening, that allows venous remodeling to the fistula environment to support hemodialysis. Sex differences have long been recognized in arterial remodeling and diseases, with men having increased cardiovascular events compared with pre-menopausal women. Many of these arterial diseases are driven by inflammation that is similar to the inflammation during AVF maturation. Improved understanding of sex differences in inflammation during vascular remodeling may suggest sex-specific vascular therapies to improve AVF success.

Abstract
Liposomes can be seen as ideal carriers for anti-inflammatory drugs as their ability to (passively) target sites of inflammation and release their content to inflammatory target cells enables them to increase local efficacy with only limited systemic exposure and adverse effects. Nonetheless, few liposomal formulations seem to reach the clinic. The current review provides an overview of the more recent innovations in liposomal treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, vascular inflammation, and transplantation. Cutting edge developments include the liposomal delivery of gene and RNA therapeutics and the use of hybrid systems where several liposomal bilayer features, or several drugs, are combined in a single formulation. The majority of the articles reviewed here focus on preclinical animal studies where proof-of-principle of an improved efficacy-safety ratio is observed when using liposomal formulations. A few clinical studies are included as well, which brings us to a discussion about the challenges of clinical translation of liposomal nanomedicines in the field of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Vascular access is the lifeline for patients on hemodialysis. Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred vascular access, but AVF maturation failure remains a significant clinical problem. Currently, there are no effective therapies available to prevent or treat AVF maturation failure. AVF maturation failure frequently results from venous stenosis at the AVF anastomosis, which is secondary to poor outward vascular remodeling and excessive venous intimal hyperplasia that narrows the AVF lumen. Arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) are the next preferred vascular access when an AVF creation is not possible. AVG failure is primarily the result of venous stenosis at the vein-graft anastomosis, which originates from intimal hyperplasia development. Although there has been advancement in our knowledge of the pathophysiology of AVF maturation and AVG failure, this has not translated into effective therapies for these two important clinical problems. Further work will be required to dissect out the mechanisms of AVF maturation failure and AVG failure to develop more specific therapies. This review highlights the major recent advancements in AVF and AVG biology, reviews major clinical trials, and discusses new areas for future research.
