Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) -3148C/G polymorphism and the formation of collateral circulation in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Han population of Taiyuan area.
Method: The present study included 92 STEMI patients and 56 normal controls based on coronary angiography; STEMI group was divided into collateral group and non-collateral group according to Rentrop's grading method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing methods were used to detect and analyze the GDF-15 -3148C/G polymorphism in all participants.
Results: There was significant difference in GDF-15 -3148C/G CC and GC distribution between STEMI group and control group (p=0.009); the allele frequencies between these two groups were also significant different (p=0.016); and the risk genotype for STEMI was CC with increased OR=2.660. For STEMI group, GDF-15 -3148C/G CC and GC distribution was also significantly different between patients with and without collateral (p=0.048), and CC genotype significantly promote the formation of collateral circulation. However, there were no significant differences in allele frequencies between these two subgroups of STEMI.
Conclusion: There was correlation between GDF-15-3148C/G polymorphism and the formation of collateral circulation in patients with acute STEMI.

Radiotherapy, a prevalent and effective treatment for various malignancies, often causes collateral damage to normal skin and soft tissues in the irradiated area. To address this, we developed a novel approach combining SVFG-modified adipose-derived high-activity matrix cell clusters (HAMCC) with concentrated growth factors (CGF) to enhance regeneration and repair of radiation-induced skin and soft tissue injuries. Our study included cellular assays, wound healing evaluations, and histological analyses.

Downhill varices, a rare manifestation of venous hypertension, arise from superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction. We present a unique case of downhill varices secondary to SVC syndrome in a 69-year-old man on chronic total parenteral nutrition who presented with large volume melena and facial swelling. In this case, chronic central venous catheter use contributed to thrombotic occlusion of the SVC, leading to collateral vessel formation and variceal development.

Background: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), a common complication following stroke, significantly impacts patients' quality of life and prognosis. Research indicates that neuroregulation and protein metabolic disorders play crucial roles in the development of PSCI.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the Regional Meningoarterial Score (rLMC) in determining collateral circulation status in acute ischaemic stroke patients.

Pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimers constitute a class of highly cytotoxic agents that induce apoptosis through the formation of effective DNA interstrand cross-links by binding to the minor groove of DNA. This mechanism highlights the critical role of PBD dimers in the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Within ADCs, PBD dimers act as potent payloads that are specifically delivered to cancer cells via monoclonal antibodies, thereby enhancing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing collateral damage to normal tissues.

Atrial esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but life-threatening complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, linked to thermal injuries by conventional radiofrequency (RF) and cryo-balloon (CB) ablation techniques. AEF risk can be mitigated by considering several measures such as tailored power settings of ablation technique, mechanical displacement of esophagus, esophageal cooling, and alternative ablative techniques and energy sources. We review the current knowledge regarding AEF and esophageal thermal injuries as well as discussing the current research regarding a novel none-to-minimally thermal, myocardial tissue-selective modality known as pulsed-field ablation (PFA) which may mitigate such risks.
