Correlation of Mehran Risk Score and Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Guided by Optical Coherence Tomography

Rama Kumari N, Shahood Ajaz Kakroo, Jeetender Kumar Jain Kala and Kapil Karthikeya CH

Introduction: Use of contrast is increased when percutaneous coronary intervention is supplemented by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). However, the impact of OCT-guided PCI on the incidence of AKI after PCI in real-world clinical practice had not been fully evaluated. Methods: Among a total of 132 consecutive in patients who underwent PCI in our institute, we identified 16 cases ... Read more

WNT3A Aggravates Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury in H9C2 Cardiomyocytes via Inhibition of SIRT3

Yanming Li, Luping Du, Siya Cheng, Jingjing Guo, Shengnan Zhu, Tao Li and Hai Gao

Ischemic injury is a major cause of several cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, and ventricular remodelling. WNT signaling has been shown to be a key regulator of cell growth, injury, and repair. Using the in vitro Oxygen and Glucose Deprivation (OGD) model to mimic ischemic condition, we found that WNT3A over expression could enhance the OGD-induced ... Read more

Inhibition of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress by BMSC and Klotho Genes on Cardiac Remodeling in Chronic Hypoxic Rats

Li Huiping, Cao Shuai, Wang Enyang, Zhu Xiangqing, Yin Na, Pan Xinghua and Wei Ling

Objective: To observe the effects of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BMSC) and Klotho gene on cardiac remodeling Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress (ERS) in chronic hypoxic rats. Methods: The model of cardiac remodeling in rats with chronic hypoxia for 28 days was established. The rats were divided into normal group, model group, BMSC group and Klotho group. Rat BMSC was prepared and ... Read more
