Abstract
The analysis of cardiac wall mechanics is of importance for understanding coronary heart diseases (CHD). The inhalation of ultrafine particles could deteriorate CHD. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of cardiac wall mechanics on rats of myocardial infarction (MI) after long-term inhalation of ultrafine Zn particles. Cardiac wall stresses and strains were computed, based on echocardiographic and hemodynamic measurements. It was found that MI resulted in the significantly elevated stresses and the reduced strains. The short-term inhalation of ultrafine Zn particles decreased stresses and increased strains in MI rats, but the long-term inhalation had the opposite effects. Hence, the short-term inhalation of ultrafine Zn particles could alleviate the MI-induced LV dysfunction while the long-term inhalation impaired it.

Chronic Dis Transl Med 2024; 10:130-139. [PMID: 38872757 PMCID: PMC11166680 DOI: 10.1002/cdt3.134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The correlation between metals and hypertension, such as sodium, zinc, potassium, and magnesium, has been confirmed, while the relationship between aluminum and hypertension is not very clear. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between plasma aluminum and hypertension in electrolytic aluminum workers by the Bayesian networks (BN). Methods In 2019, 476 male workers in an aluminum factory were investigated. The plasma aluminum concentration of workers was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The influencing factors on the prevalence of hypertension were analyzed by the BN. Results The prevalence of hypertension was 23.9% in 476 male workers. The risk of hypertension from plasma aluminum in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups was 5.20 (1.90-14.25), 6.92 (2.51-19.08), and 7.33 (2.69-20.01), respectively, compared with that in the Q1 group. The risk of hypertension from the duration of exposure to aluminum of >10 years was 2.23 (1.09-4.57), compared without aluminum exposure. Area under the curve was 0.80 of plasma aluminum and the duration of exposure to aluminum was based on covariates, indicating that aluminum exposure had important predictive value in the prevalence of hypertension in the occupational population. The results of the study using the BN model showed that if the plasma aluminum of all participants was higher than Q4 (≥47.86 µg/L) and the participants were drinking, smoking, diabetes, central obesity, dyslipidemia, and aged >50 years, the proportion of hypertension was 71.2%. Conclusions The prevalence of hypertension increased significantly with the increase of plasma aluminum level.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) impaired both cardiac functions and peripheral arteries. The changes in normal and shear stresses in the peripheral artery wall are of importance for understanding the progression of MI-induced heart failure (HF). The aim of the study is to investigate the corresponding changes of normal and shear stresses. The coronary artery ligation was used to induce the MI in Wistar rats. The analysis of wall mechanics and hemodynamics was performed based on in vivo and in vitro measurements. Myocardial infarction increased wall stiffness in elastic carotid and muscular femoral arteries significantly albeit different changes occurred between the two vessels from 3 to 6 weeks postoperatively. Moreover, the hemodynamic analysis showed the gradually deteriorated wall shear stress, oscillatory shear index and relative residence time in the two arteries. This study probably shed light on understanding the interaction between abnormal systemic circulation and peripheral mechanics and hemodynamics during the development of MI-induced HF.

Abstract
Substantial ultrafine zinc particles exist in air pollutions. The level of Zn concentrations in serum and tissue could affect patients with myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the study is to investigate the change of cardiac functions and peripheral hemodynamics in MI rats after long-term inhalation of ultrafine Zn particles. Coronary artery ligation surgery was performed to induce MI in Wistar rats. The inhalation of ultrafine Zn particles was carried out for 6 weeks after the operation. Physiological and hemodynamic measurements and computational biomechanics analysis were demonstrated in eight groups of rats at postoperative 4 and 6 weeks. There was no statistical significance between shams and shams with inhalation of ultrafine Zn particles. There were significant impairments of cardiac and hemodynamic functions in MI rats. In comparison with MI rats, the inhalation of ultrafine Zn particles for 4 weeks slowed down the progression from MI to heart failure, but the inhalation for 6 weeks accelerated the process. The long-term inhalation of ultrafine zinc particles induced excessive accumulation of zinc in serum and tissue, which deteriorated cardiac and hemodynamic dysfunctions in MI rats. The findings suggested the importance for regulating Zn intake of MI patients as well as looking at ways to lower zinc concentrations in air pollutions.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF), the terminal state of different heart diseases, imposed a significant health care burden worldwide. It is the last battlefield in dealing with cardiovascular diseases. HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of HF in which the symptoms and signs of HF are mainly ascribed to diastolic dysfunction of left ventricle, whereas systolic function is normal or near-normal. Compared to HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the diagnosis and treatment of HFpEF have made limited progress, partly due to the lack of suitable animal models for translational studies in the past. Given metabolic disturbance and inflammatory burden contribute to HFpEF pathogenesis, recent years have witnessed emerging studies focusing on construction of animal models with HFpEF phenotype by mimicking metabolic disorders. These models prefer to recapitulate the metabolic disorders and endothelial dysfunction, leading to the more detailed understanding of the entity. In this review, we summarize the currently available animal models of HFpEF with metabolic disorders, as well as their advantages and disadvantages as tools for translational studies.

Abstract
It is not clear for inhalation of ultrafine metal particles in air pollution to impair human health. In the study, we aimed to investigate whether short-term (4 weeks) inhalation of ultrafine zinc particles could deteriorate the cardiac and hemodynamic functions in rats of myocardial infarction (MI). MI was induced in Wistar rats through coronary artery ligation surgery and given an inhalation of ultrafine zinc particles for 4 weeks (post-MI 4 weeks, 4 days per week, and 4 h per day). Cardiac strain and strain rate were quantified by the speckle tracking echocardiography. The pressure and flow wave were recorded in the carotid artery and analyzed by using the Womersley model. Myocardial infarction resulted in the LV wall thinning, LV cavity dilation, remarkable decrease of ejection fraction, dp/dt Max, −dp/dt Min, myocardial strain and strain rates, and increased LV end-diastolic pressure, as well as impaired hemodynamic environment. The short-term inhalation of ultrafine zinc particles significantly alleviated cardiac and hemodynamic dysfunctions, which could protect from the MI-induced myocardial and hemodynamic impairments albeit it is unknown for the long-term inhalation.

Abstract
Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have shown promising potential in biomedical applications since they provide a rapid, simple and robust way to construct multifunctional nanoplatforms. As a novel nanomaterial self-assembled from metal ions and polyphenols, MPNs can be prepared to assist the theranostics of cancer owing to their bio-adhesiveness, good biocompatibility, versatile drug loading, and stimuli-responsive profile. This Critical Review aims to summarize recent progress in MPN-based nanoplatforms for multimodal tumor therapy and imaging. First, the advantages of MPNs as drug carriers are summarized. Then, various tumor therapeutic modalities based on MPNs are introduced. Next, MPN-based theranostic systems are reviewed. In terms of in vivo applications, specific attention is paid to their biosafety, biodistribution, as well as excretion. Finally, some problems and limitations of MPNs are discussed, along with a future perspective on the field.
