Article Abstract
Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular denervation (EDN) as an adjunct to percutaneous vascular intervention (PVI) for peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Methods: From August 2019 to April 2021, 38 eligible patients with PAD enrolled in this study were randomly and equally assigned into 2 groups: the PVI group and the PVI + EDN group treated with EDN at the iliac and femoral arteries before PVI. The primary endpoint was the improvement in the ankle brachial index at 6 months after the procedure. The secondary endpoints were transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO), Rutherford category, numerical rating scale score, and safety.
Results: The technical success rates of PVI and EDN were 100%, and no device-related or procedure-related major adverse events occurred in either group. Compared with PVI alone, PVI + EDN demonstrated a significant improvement in limb hemodynamics at 6 months (Δ ankle brachial index 0.44 ± 0.31 vs. 0.24 ± 0.15, P = 0.018). Microcirculatory perfusion of PAD was significantly better at 6 months in the PVI + EDN group (ΔTcPO, 15.68 ± 16.72 vs. 4.95 ± 13.43, P = 0.036). The Rutherford category was significantly improved in the PVI + EDN group in comparison with the PVI group at the 3-month follow-up (100.00% vs. 68.42%, P = 0.02). The decrease in the numerical rating scale score in the PVI + EDN group was greater than that in the PVI group at 1 week following the procedure (3 [2-5] vs. 4 [4-6], P = 0.022).
Conclusions: In this single-center pilot analysis of a heterogeneous cohort of patients with PAD, PVI with EDN demonstrated a significant improvement in limb ischemia at 6 months compared with PVI alone.

Article Synopsis
- Various polymorphisms in the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene have links to cardiometabolic issues like hypertension and obesity, but the specific SNP rs12654778 hasn't been studied much, especially in Chile.
- The study aimed to see how the rs12654778 SNP in the ADRB2 gene relates to cardiometabolic risk factors among 404 Chilean adults through analysis of their genotypes (GG, AG, AA).
- Results showed that individuals with the AA genotype had significantly lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, suggesting a protective effect; this study marks a first for research on this SNP in Chile.
Eosinophil Granule Proteins Involvement in Acute Appendicitis-An Allergic Disease?

Serviço Cirurgia Geral, Hospital Garcia de Orta, 2805-267 Almada, Portugal.
Several pieces of evidence point to an allergic component as a trigger of acute appendicitis. As the Th2 immune response is characterized by eosinophil mobilization to the target organ and release of their cationic granule proteins, it is reasonable to investigate if the degranulation of eosinophils could be associated with the local injury. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the participation of eosinophils granules proteins in acute appendicitis, both at local and systemic levels and the secondary aim is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of eosinophils granules proteins for the detection of acute appendicitis, as well as for distinguishing between complicated and uncomplicated acute appendicitis.

Background: The SNP (rs7139228) of the RETN gene is a polymorphism that has been associated with metabolic disorder in subjects with obesity, and its effect on metabolic response after dietary intervention has not been evaluated.
Objective: Our objective was to analyse the effects of the polymorphism of the RETN gene rs7139228 on metabolic changes secondary to weight loss with a hypocaloric Mediterranean diet.
Design: 1000 obese Caucasian patients were evaluated.
