Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases globally, characterised by the accumulation of lipids and cholesterol in arterial walls, causing vascular narrowing and sclerosis along with chronic inflammation; this leads to increased risk of heart disease and stroke, significantly impacting patients' health. Danxia Tiaoban Decoction (DXTB), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has demonstrated positive clinical effects in treating AS; however, its mechanisms of action remain unclear.

Objective: To explore the potential mechanisms of action of DXTB in treating AS through multi-omics integration and experimental validation.

Co-Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, College of Forestry and Grassland, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing, 210037, China. Electronic address:

Seeds of Sophora japonica in Nanjing during the recommended period typically exhibit permeable seed coats. It is imperative to comprehend the water absorption characteristics of the permeable seeds, as water uptake represents a critical step in seed germination. This study employed an integrated approach combining blocking experiments, scanning electron microscopy, staining tests, and magnetic resonance imaging to investigate water entry sites and movement patterns in permeable seeds.

Department of Vascular Surgery, The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, 410011, China; Institute of Vascular Diseases, Central South University, Changsha, 410011, China. Electronic address:

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life-threatening vascular condition that currently lacks effective pharmacological treatment. The disease is strongly associated with chronic inflammation, where immune cells like macrophages play a crucial role. Efferocytosis, the process by which apoptotic cells are cleared, is involved in regulating inflammation.

Introduction: Carotid artery disease is a major cause of stroke and is frequently evaluated using Carotid CT Angiography (CTA). However, the associated radiation exposure and contrast agent use raise concerns, particularly for high-risk patients. Recent advances in Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) offer new potential to enhance image quality under low-dose conditions.
