Abstract
Vascular aging is a major contributing factor to cardiovascular disease. The aged blood vessels, characterized by vascular wall thickening and stiffening, are instigated by endothelial cell dysfunction induced by oxidative stress and inflammation. von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is a glycoprotein known for its role in coagulation, and plasma levels of vWF are increased with age. Elevated vWF promotes thrombosis, atherosclerotic plaque formation, inflammation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant associated with increased morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. At low concentrations, Cd activates pro-survival signaling in endothelial cells, however enhances intima-media thickness and atherogenesis. A non-cytotoxic dose of Cd also increases endothelial vWF expression and secretion in vivo and in vitro. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying vWF-promoted vascular aging-associated pathologies and Cd-induced vWF expression. In addition, we propose that exposure to low-dose Cd is a risk factor for vascular aging, through elevation of plasma vWF.

are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Res Pract Thromb Haemost 2022; 6:e12797. [PMID: 36381288 PMCID: PMC9637545 DOI: 10.1002/rth2.12797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The current study was undertaken to prospectively explore whether having low levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen and vWF activity reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease and death. Methods VWF antigen and vWF activity were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and an immunological-based assay, respectively, in a subsample of 4857 individuals aged between 35 and 74 years old, enrolled between April 2007 and October 2008 in the population-based Gutenberg Health Study. VWF antigen and activity below the 20th percentile was set as a measure of "low vWF." Adjusted robust Poisson regression models were used to analyze the relation between low vWF and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Consequent adjusted cox regression models as well as cumulative incidence plots were calculated to explore the relation between all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and low vWF. Results VWF activity levels <20th percentile (i.e., <76.2%) were associated with a decreased relative risk for CVD (RR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.37-0.95), despite adjusting for age and sex. After adjusting for levels of F-VIII, the association persisted (RR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.36-0.99). The cumulative incidence plots demonstrated that vWF antigen <20th percentile significantly correlated with decreased cardiovascular mortality. VWF antigen<20th percentile (i.e., <83%) was significantly associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality, despite adjusting for clinical factors (RR: 61, 95% CI: 0.41-0.91). Conclusion The study demonstrated that having low vWF activity levels were associated with a lower risk for CVD. Additionally, it revealed a decreased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in individuals with low levels of vWF antigen, shining new light on vWF as a potential target for novel therapies.

Abstract
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a major retinal disease caused by venous thrombosis. Although several studies have proposed an association between venous thrombosis and von Willebrand factor (VWF), the association between RVO and VWF remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between RVO and VWF and the alteration of VWF levels under anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment. We enrolled 55 patients with RVO involved cystoid macular edema. They received intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs, either ranibizumab or aflibercept. We examined the clinical data and measured plasma VWF antigen and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13) activity to identify variabilities during treatment. At baseline, there was no significant difference between the RVO group and age-matched controls in both VWF antigen and ADAMTS13 activity levels, but ADAMTS13 activity was significantly lower in central RVO than in branch RVO (P = 0.015). In branch RVO, VWF antigen was negatively correlated with central choroidal thickness (r = −0.51, P < 0.001). In branch RVO after anti-VEGF treatment, VWF antigen levels decreased significantly from 134% at baseline to 109% at 1 day (P = 0.002) and 107% at 1 month (P = 0.030) after treatment. In contrast, ADAMTS13 activity showed no significant difference during this period. In branch RVO at 1 month after treatment, VWF antigen was negatively correlated with central choroidal thickness (r = −0.47, P = 0.001). Our findings suggest an association between VWF and central choroidal thickness in patients with branch RVO, thus the measurement of VWF may be useful for evaluating disease activity and prognosis.

Abstract
Background Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a disease of high prevalence in old age, and its incidence gradually increases with increasing age. There were few studies about differences in the circulatory system in the incidence of AAA, mainly because younger patients with AAA are fewer and more comorbid nonatherosclerotic factors. Method We induced AAA in ApoE-/- male mice of different ages (10 or 24 weeks) and obtained plasma samples. After the top 14 most abundant proteins were detected, the plasma was analyzed by a proteomic study using the data-dependent acquisition (DDA) technique. The proteomic results were compared between different groups to identify age-related differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the circulation that contribute to AAA formation. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses were performed by R software. The top 10 proteins were determined with the MCC method of Cytoscape, and transcription factor (TF) prediction of the DEPs was performed with iRegulon (Cytoscape). Results The aortic diameter fold increase was higher in the aged group than in the youth group (p < 0.01). Overall, 92 DEPs related to age and involved in AAA formation were identified. GO analysis of the DEPs showed enrichment of the terms wounding healing, response to oxidative stress, regulation of body fluid levels, ribose phosphate metabolic process, and blood coagulation. The KEGG pathway analysis showed enrichment of the terms platelet activation, complement and coagulation cascades, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, carbon metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, and ECM-receptor interaction. The top 10 proteins were Tpi1, Eno1, Prdx1, Ppia, Prdx6, Vwf, Prdx2, Fga, Fgg, and Fgb, and the predicted TFs of these proteins were Nfe2, Srf, Epas1, Tbp, and Hoxc8. Conclusion The identified proteins related to age and involved in AAA formation were associated with the response to oxidative stress, coagulation and platelet activation, and complement and inflammation pathways, and the TFs of these proteins might be potential targets for AAA treatments. Further experimental and biological studies are needed to elucidate the role of these age-associated and AAA-related proteins in the progression of AAA.

Abstract
Experimentally, many strong cardioprotective treatments have been identified in different animal models of acute ischaemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the translation of these cardioprotective therapies for the benefit of the patients into the clinical scenario has been very disappointing. The reasons for this lack are certainly multiple. Indeed, many confounding factors we must deal in clinical reality, such as aging, sex and inflammatory processes are neglected in many experiments. Due to the pivotal role of aging, sex and inflammation in determining cardiac ischaemic disease, in this review, we take into account age as a modifier of tolerance to IRI in the two sexes, dissecting aging and myocardial reperfusion injury mechanisms and the sex differences in tolerance to IRI. Then we focus on the role of the gut microbiota and the NLRP3 inflammasome in myocardial IRI and on the possibility to consider NLRP3 inflammasome as a potential target in the treatment of CAD in relationship with age and sex. Finally, we consider the cardioprotective mechanisms and cardioprotective treatments during aging in the two sexes.

Abstract
The endometrium plays a critical role in embryo implantation and pregnancy, and a thin uterus is recognized as a key factor in embryo implantation failure. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have attracted interest for the repair of intrauterine adhesions. The current study investigated the repair of thin endometrium in rats using the UC-MSCs and the mechanisms involved. Rats were injected with 95% ethanol to establish a model of thin endometrium. The rats were randomly divided into normal, sham, model, and UC-MSCs groups. Endometrial morphological alterations were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining, and functional restoration was assessed by testing embryo implantation. The interaction between UC-MSCs and rat endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) was evaluated using a transwell 3D model and immunocytochemistry. Microarray mRNA and miRNA platforms were used for miRNA-mRNA expression profiling. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to identify the biological processes, molecular functions, cellular components, and pathways of endometrial injury and UC-MSCs transplantation repair and real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to further identify the expression changes of key molecules in the pathways. Endometrium thickness, number of glands, and the embryo implantation numbers were improved, and the degree of fibrosis was significantly alleviated by UC-MSCs treatment in the rat model of thin endometrium. In vitro cell experiments showed that UC-MSCs migrated to injured ESCs and enhanced their proliferation. miRNA microarray chip results showed that expression of 45 miRNAs was downregulated in the injured endometrium and upregulated after UC-MSCs transplantation. Likewise, expression of 39 miRNAs was upregulated in the injured endometrium and downregulated after UC-MSCs transplantation. The miRNA-mRNA interactions showed the changes in the miRNA and mRNA network during the processes of endometrial injury and repair. GO and KEGG analyses showed that the process of endometrial injury was mainly attributed to the decomposition of the extracellular matrix (ECM), protein degradation and absorption, and accompanying inflammation. The process of UC-MSCs transplantation and repair were accompanied by the reconstruction of the ECM, regulation of chemokines and inflammation, and cell proliferation and apoptosis. The key molecules involved in ECM-receptor interaction pathways were further verified by qRT-PCR. Itga1 and Thbs expression decreased in the model group and increased by UC-MSCs transplantation, while Laminin and Collagen expression increased in both the model group and MSCs group, with greater expression observed in the latter. This study showed that UC-MSCs transplantation could promote recovery of thin endometrial morphology and function. Furthermore, it revealed the expression changes of miRNA and mRNA after endometrial injury and UC-MSCs transplantation repair processed, and signaling pathways that may be involved in endometrial injury and repair.

Abstract
Objective To begin to understand how to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after an innovative operation termed intracorporeal laparoscopic reconstruction of detenial sigmoid neobladder, we explored the factors that influence DVT following surgery, with the aim of constructing a model for predicting DVT occurrence. Methods This retrospective study included 151 bladder cancer patients who underwent intracorporeal laparoscopic reconstruction of detenial sigmoid neobladder. Data describing general clinical characteristics and other common parameters were collected and analyzed. Thereafter, we generated model evaluation curves and finally cross-validated their extrapolations. Results Age and body mass index were risk factors for DVT, whereas postoperative use of hemostatic agents and postoperative passive muscle massage were significant protective factors. Model evaluation curves showed that the model had high accuracy and little bias. Cross-validation affirmed the accuracy of our model. Conclusion The prediction model constructed herein was highly accurate and had little bias; thus, it can be used to predict the likelihood of developing DVT after surgery.
