Summary: This study investigated the association between individual components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and left ventricular (LV) geometric changes, including diastolic dysfunction, in a large cohort of healthy individuals. The results showed that MetS was associated with the risk of LVDD, especially in men, with a dose-dependent association between an increasing number of components of MetS and LVDD. TG and WC were independent risk factors for LVDD in men.

Summary: This study summarized the differences between pediatric diastolic heart failure and systolic heart failure in terms of primary causes, clinical features, and short-term prognosis. B-type natriuretic peptide has limited diagnostic value in pediatric DHF. Diastolic function indicators significantly improved after treatment in DHF patients.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of coronary risk factors on left ventricular size and cardiac function using structure equation modeling. It found that each risk factor directly affected the shape of the heart. Managing risk factors is crucial in reducing the heart failure pandemic, as vascular risk and heart failure risk are likely to evolve simultaneously.

Summary: Obesity alone does not cause cardiac injury or exacerbate hypertension-induced cardiac dysfunction. After MI, obese-normotensive mice had lower survival rates compared with chow-fed mice, and this was further decreased by hypertension. Surviving obese-normotensive mice displayed improved post-MI cardiac function and metabolism, while these favorable changes were attenuated by hypertension when it accompanied obesity.

Summary: This study investigated the toxicological effects of ultrafine particles (UFPs) with high organic content on BEAS-2B cells at low doses. The results showed an increase in oxidative stress and induction of genes related to xenobiotic metabolism, while inflammatory gene expression decreased. These findings highlight the mechanisms by which organic UFPs induce toxic effects.

Summary: The physiological role of the N-terminal phosphatase activity (sEH-P) of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH-H) was investigated using CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a knock-in (KI) rat line lacking sEH-P activity. The study found that sEH-P KI rats exhibited decreased metabolism of lysophosphatidic acids, decreased weight and fat mass gain, and increased insulin sensitivity. Moreover, sEH-P KI rats showed increased lipolysis and enhanced energy expenditure, which potentiated brown adipose thermogenesis. Additionally, sEH-P KI rats fed a high-fat diet did not experience weight gain, fat mass accumulation, insulin resistance, or hepatic steatosis, and they also exhibited enhanced cardiac mitochondrial activity and protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of sEH-P in energy and fat metabolism and its potential therapeutic significance in the management of obesity and cardiac complications.

Summary: Glycocalyx is a layer of structure on the cell membrane composed of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. It interacts with various proteins, contributing to vascular permeability and modulation of local inflammatory processes. This study developed innovative electron microscopy approaches to visualize the glycocalyx at the subcellular scale.

Summary: This study investigated the lung injury induced by supraceliac aortic cross clamping through an inflammatory ischemia-reperfusion trigger and analyzed the role of glycocalyx (GCX), a component of the endothelial membrane, in remote lung injury. The results showed that plasma levels of GCX products (Sdc-1 and HS), TNF-α, and IL-10 reached peak levels at different time points during reperfusion. The levels were significantly higher in the clamping groups compared to the sham group. Lung levels of TNF-α and IL-10 also reached peak levels at 6 hours, and were significantly higher than the sham group. Histopathologic scores and pulmonary gravimetry showed more severe lung injury and pulmonary edema in the clamping groups compared to the sham group at different time points. In conclusion, supraceliac aortic clamping causes early lung injury associated with a systemic inflammatory response and altered GCX structure.

Summary: Gasoline emissions contain high levels of pollutants, while biofuels represent a promising alternative. However, there is limited research on the health effects of alternative fuels. This study compared the adverse effects of gasoline and biofuel emissions on human bronchial epithelial cells. The results showed that biofuels Surrogates generated toxic effects similar to gasoline Surrogates, possibly through different toxicity pathways.

Summary: mTOR, a mechanistic target of rapamycin, is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that plays a fundamental role in nutrient sensing, growth, metabolism, lifespan, and aging. Recent studies have highlighted the regulatory role of mTOR in innate immune responses and its involvement in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, especially in acute inflammation and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This review also discusses mTOR's role in trained immunity, immune senescence, and clonal hematopoiesis, as well as its architecture and regulatory complexes.
