Loss of actin cytoskeleton control can hinder integral developmental and physiological processes and can be the basis for a subset of developmental defects. SHROOM3 is an actin binding protein, best characterized as being essential for neural tube closure in vertebrates. Shroom3 expression has also been identified in the developing heart, with some associated congenital heart defects.

The present study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and chloroquine (CQ) 10 mg/kg in treating lung inflammation caused by infection in a mouse model. Fifty female C57BL/6 mice were divided into five groups: control, leaf extract (IOLE) AgNPs treated, infected, infected and IOLE AgNPs treated, infected and CQ 10 mg/kg treated. Lung histopathology was assessed using microscopic analysis and immunohistochemistry investigation for TNF-α and IL-6.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of CT planning on surgical myectomy outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and/or mid-cavity obstruction, by comparing these outcomes with those of conventional surgical myectomy.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients who underwent surgical septal myectomy for HCM with LVOT and/or mid-cavity obstruction between January 2019 and May 2024 at a single tertiary center. In the CT-planned myectomy group, an expert radiologist simulated the target myectomy site through a series of post-processing methods to plan the surgical approach, provide a surgeon's view that closely resembles the actual perspective in the operating room, and present the target myectomy volume.

Is maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection in the first trimester associated with congenital heart defects?

Emerging evidence suggests a potential link between maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during early pregnancy and the development of congenital heart defects (CHD) in offspring. Although vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is rare, the virus has been associated with placental complications and increased maternal morbidity. Recent studies from China report increased rates of CHD and anomalies such as situs inversus when infection occurs during gestational weeks 4-6, a critical window for cardiac development.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of long noncoding RNA LINKA (LncRNA LINKA) in hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI), specifically focusing on its impact on the GPNMB (glycoprotein nonmetastatic B protein)/HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha) signaling pathway of apoptosis.MethodsAn experimental animal study was conducted using specific pathogen-free (SPF) male C57BL/6 mice and GPNMB knockout (KO) mice. Lung injury was assessed by measuring total protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio, serum levels of inflammatory (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)) mediators, histopathological scoring (hematoxylin and eosin staining), apoptosis rate (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay), and expression levels of GPNMB/HIF-1α pathway proteins (p-GPNMB, phosphorylated leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (p-LRRK2), p-HIF-1α) and apoptosis regulators (BCL2-associated X protein (Bax), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)) via western blotting.
