Surgical Porcine Model of Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Treated by Exosome-laden Collagen Patch and Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft05:25

Surgical Porcine Model of Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Treated by Exosome-laden Collagen Patch and Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

1.2K
This study presents a surgical porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemia due to progressive coronary artery stenosis, resulting in impaired cardiac function without infarction. Following ischemia, animals undergo off-pump coronary artery bypass graft with epicardial placement of stem cells-derived exosomes-laden collagen patch. This adjunctive therapy improves myocardial function and...

Creation of Two Saccular Elastase-Digested Aneurysms with Different Hemodynamics in One Rabbit07:04

Creation of Two Saccular Elastase-Digested Aneurysms with Different Hemodynamics in One Rabbit

2.5K
This protocol describes the steps for the creation of a rabbit model with two elastase-digested aneurysms with different hemodynamics (stump and bifurcation constellation). This allows the testing of novel endovascular devices in aneurysms with different angioarchitecture and hemodynamic conditions within a single animal.

A Chronic Cardiac Ischemia Model in Swine Using an Ameroid Constrictor

11.1K
The purpose of this protocol is to demonstrate the placement of a delayed constricting device (an ameroid constrictor) around a coronary artery in a swine model. This device creates an ischemic area of the heart that is useful for studying new diagnostic imaging techniques and new methods of treatment.

Direct Re-implantation of Left Coronary Artery into the Aorta in Adults with Anomalous Origin of Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)13:10

Direct Re-implantation of Left Coronary Artery into the Aorta in Adults with Anomalous Origin of Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)

19.1K
Surgical correction of ALCAPA is highly recommended, regardless of age or the degree of intercoronary collateralization. This protocol presents a technique for the direct re-implantation of adult-type ALCAPA into the aorta to re-establish the dual-coronary perfusion. Whenever feasible, direct re-implantation is preferred to other surgical correction...

A New Murine Model of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair08:51

A New Murine Model of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair

14.7K
Histological and biochemical modifications after aneurysm endograft exclusion are still unclear. We describe a new model of endograft implantation on a murine aneurysm. Through thrombus analysis with and without persistant circulating blood stream interface, and new endovascular biomaterials evaluation, this model will help to better understand endovascular aneurysm exclusion...

Summary

Neuroglia, particularly astrocytes, play a key role in hepatic encephalopathy (HE) pathogenesis. Astrocytopathy, or astrocyte dysfunction, contributes to brain edema, neurotransmission imbalance, and neuroinflammation in HE.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pathophysiology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) involves neuroglial cells, with ammonia as a key toxin.
  • Astrocytes and microglia respond to HE signals, altering metabolism, morphology, and function.
  • Astrocytopathy, characterized by altered astrocyte function, is central to HE pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of astrocytes in HE pathogenesis.
  • To focus on astrocyte dysfunction in acute and chronic liver failure.
  • To explore astrocyte involvement in glymphatic system impairment, neurotransmission, and neuroinflammation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental models of HE.
  • Analysis of astrocyte and microglia responses to HE-associated signals.
  • Examination of HE-induced changes in astrocyte metabolism, morphology, and function.

Main Results:

  • Astrocytes undergo significant alterations (astrocytopathy) in HE, leading to functional gains or losses.
  • In acute HE, astrocyte swelling causes cerebral edema and mortality.
  • Chronic HE shows characteristic Alzheimer type II cells and asthenic astrocytes.

Conclusions:

  • Astrocytes are dominant players in HE pathogenesis, impacting homeostatic functions.
  • Astrocyte-neuron miscommunication and neuroinflammation involving astrocytes and microglia are key features of HE.
  • Future research should focus on understanding and targeting astrocyte dysfunction in HE.
