Article Abstract
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) pathogenesis and progression include many mechanisms. The authors investigated the role of autophagy, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction in 36 TAA patients and 23 control patients. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed. TAA patients displayed higher oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction then control patients. Autophagy in the TAA group was reduced. The association of oxidative stress and autophagy with aortic disease supports the role of these processes in TAA. The authors demonstrate a putative role of Nox2 and autophagy dysregulation in human TAA. These findings could pinpoint novel treatment targets to prevent or limit TAA progression.

Introduction: Epigenetic changes are important modulators of gene expression. The histone acetyltransferase gene non-derepressible 5 (Gcn5) is emerging as a pivotal epigenetic player in metabolism and cancer, yet its role in obesity and cardiovascular disease remains elusive.
Aims: To investigate Gcn5 role in obesity-related endothelial dysfunction.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a severe cardiovascular complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by pathological changes such as cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, necrosis, and myocardial fibrosis, which can ultimately lead to heart failure. However, its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood, limiting the development of effective therapeutic approaches. In recent years, the critical roles of oxidative stress and ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of DCM have attracted increasing attention.

Demyelinating diseases, a prevalent group of neurological disorders, lead to impaired nerve conduction and sensorimotor dysfunctions. Despite existing treatments demonstrating some efficacy, their limitations have driven research toward exploring natural remedies. This review summarizes the therapeutic potential of four traditional tonic Chinese herbal medicines-ginsenosides, deer antler polypeptides, resveratrol, and ginkgo leaf extracts-for demyelinating diseases.
