Objectives: Patients with connective tissue diseases (CTD) have a high incidence of cardiac involvement, which often presents insidiously and can progress rapidly, making it one of the leading causes of death. Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of myocardial injury and is emerging as a valuable tool for detecting cardiac involvement in CTD. This study aims to investigate the correlations between CMR features and serological biomarkers in CTD patients, assess their potential clinical value, and further explore the impact of pre-CMR immunotherapy intensity on CMR-specific parameters, thereby evaluating the role of CMR in the early diagnosis of CTD-related cardiac involvement.

20-Deoxyingenol attenuated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by promoting autolysosome degradation through the UCHL3-TFEB pathway.

Background: Impaired autophagic flux is an essential contributor to doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). TFEB is recognized as a key regulator of DOX-induced autolysosome accumulation; however, the mechanisms by which DOX suppresses TFEB expression remain unclear. 20-Deoxyingenol (20-DOI) is a small-molecule compound whose potential protective effects against DIC has not yet been elucidated.

Evaluation of the effect of bupivacaine on the heart tissue in rats with glycerol-induced acute kidney injury.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effects of bupivacaine on acute kidney injury (AKI) through kidney function parameters and cardiac tissue damage via TRPM2, HSP70, TLR4, NF-κB, and TNF-α biomarkers.

Material And Method: Male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups, with seven rats in each group: Control group, AKI group (kidney damage induced by glycerol), AKI + L group (group treated with bupivacaine), and L group (group treated with bupivacaine alone). At the end of the experiment, kidney and heart tissues were collected for histological analysis, and serum samples were taken for biochemical analysis.

Post-transplant rejection surveillance remains a cornerstone of heart transplant care. Although endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) has long been the gold standard for detecting rejection, its invasive nature, interobserver variability in histologic interpretation, and limitations in distinguishing between acute cellular rejection (ACR) and antibody-mediated rejection have prompted interest in noninvasive techniques. Traditional biomarkers- such as troponin, C-reactive protein, brain natriuretic peptide, and donor-specific antibodies- offer supplementary assessments of graft function but lack the specificity and sensitivity required to be standalone markers.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective anti-tumor agents, but new immune-related side effects (irAEs) are emerging. This retrospective cohort study investigated 461 lung cancer patients treated with ICIs over 2 years, analyzing changes in pulmonary artery diameter (PAD), aortic diameter (AoD), and the pulmonary artery/aortic diameter (PAD/AoD) ratio through chest computed tomography (CT) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-treatment. The PAD increased from 25.
