Spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (SISMAD) is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic pathology. Multiple classification schemes have been proposed for this occurrence. Although no consensus has emerged regarding which classification should be used, Li's classification scheme is more precise and complete compared to other classification systems and can be used to guide the treatment of SISMAD. Initial conservative treatment is promising, with favorable early and long-term outcomes for most patients; endovascular treatment is recommended for patients with persistent/recurrent symptoms after conservative treatment; surgical treatment should be performed without delay for patients with arterial rupture, intestinal necrosis, or failed endovascular treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Astragaloside Ⅳ-mediated Endothelial progenitor cells derived exosomes (EPC-Exos) on the biological function of EPC-Exos damaged by high glicose.Methods:EPCs from human umbilical cord blood were isolated and cultured in vitro. the EPC-Exos secreted by EPCs were extracted by ultracentrifugation combined with ultrafiltration, and identified by specific markers CD9, CD63 and CD81, respectively. After the cells were cultured for 24 hours with AS-IV at 100 mg/L and PBS at the same volume, the morphological characteristics of EPC-Exos were observed by transmission electron microscope. Human endothelial cells were isolated, cultured and identified in vitro. The identified endothelial cells were pretreated with 30 mmol/L glucose for 120 h and randomly divided into experimental group and control group, at the same time set the normal group. The cells were cultured for 24 hours, the effects of EPC-Exos on proliferation, adhesion, migration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells damaged by high glucose were observed by using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) Cell Proliferation Assay Kit, cell scratch test, adhesion assay and in vitro angiogenesis assay by Matrigel. Results:Compared with the normal group, the proliferation, migration, adhesion and tubulogenesis of human endothelial cells in the control group were significantly lower ( t=24.35, 6.80, 10.65, 9.62, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the proliferation, adhesion, migration and tubulogenesis of human endothelial cells in the experimental group were significantly enhanced ( t=30.68, 5.99, 5.40, 8.25, P<0.05). Conclusions:EPC-Exos mediated by AS-Ⅳ can significantly improve the biological function of human endothelial cells damaged by high glucose and has the potential to modulate endothelial neovascularization in diabetic rats.

Objective:To investigate the effect of high-dose vitamin B6 on stress-induced liver cell death in rats with severe trauma and its possible mechanism.Methods:Thirty-two male SD rats were selected and divided into sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group, and trauma+B6 group by using a random number table, with 8 rats in each group. Rat models of severe trauma were established by inducing abdominal wall injury, bilateral femoral fractures, unilateral cranial injury, and withdrawal of 4 ml blood from the femoral artery. The sham surgery+B6 group and trauma+B6 group were treated with saline solution plus high-dose vitamin B6, while the sham surgery group and trauma group with infusion of saline solution only. At 36 hours after injury, rat liver tissues were collected for the following experiments: (1) the genes differentially expressed in the liver tissues of the rats of the trauma group and the trauma+B6 group were screened with next-generation sequencing, followed by an analysis of the possible involvement of cell death pathways; (2) validation was conducted to ascertain whether high-dose vitamin B6 could influence various cell death pathways in the liver cells in the sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group, and trauma+B6 group: apoptosis was confirmed through terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining; necroptosis was verified by mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) immunohistochemical staining; autophagy was examined via transmission electron microscopy; ferroptosis was confirmed by detecting oxidative malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, oxidized glutathione levels, Prussian blue staining with diaminobenzidine (DAB) enhancement, transmission electron microscopy, and immunohistochemical staining for acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4); (3) Biological information analyses [Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Enrichment analysis (GSEA)] were performed for biological processes and signaling pathways represented by liver tissue sequencing results of rats between the trauma group and the trauma+B6 group.Results:(1) In the liver tissues of rats, there were 344 significantly differentially expressed genes between the trauma group and trauma+B6 group, comprising 137 upregulated genes and 207 downregulated genes, of which 18 genes were associated with apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis. (2) No significant differences were found in TUNEL staining among the sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group or trauma+B6 group; MLKL protein expression levels in the liver tissues after trauma were improved, of which the trauma+B6 group was lower than that of the trauma group; Electron microscopy showed that autophagic activity in the liver cells were significantly increased after trauma, which was significantly lower of the trauma+B6 group than that of the trauma group; MDA levels in the rat liver tissues were (0.20±0.05)nmol/mg, (0.17±0.07)nmol/mg, (0.69±0.11)nmol/mg and (0.52±0.07)nmol/mg in the sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group, and trauma+B6 group respectively ( P<0.01), with the trauma group having the highest MDA levels and trauma+B6 group having lower MDA levels than the trauma group; Oxidized glutathione levels in the liver tissues of the four groups were (11.75±2.09)μmol/g, (11.69±1.66)μmol/g, (19.75±3.40)μmol/g, and (14.51±1.46)μmol/g respectively ( P<0.01), with the trauma group having the highest levels and trauma+B6 group having lower levels than the trauma group; Significantly increased iron deposition was observed in the liver tissues after trauma, with lower iron deposition in trauma+B6 group than the trauma group; Electron microscopy revealed significantly lower mitochondrial membrane density in the trauma+B6 group compared to the trauma group. ACSL4 protein expression level was lower in the trauma+B6 group compared to the trauma group; (3) GO, KEGG and GSEA enrichment analyses suggested that high-dose vitamin B6 may enhance cholesterol synthesis metabolism in the liver cells and alleviate oxidative stress to reduce liver cell damage and restore normal liver cell function after trauma. Conclusions:High-dose vitamin B6 attenuates stress-induced liver injury in rats with severe trauma by inhibiting the progression of necroptosis, autophagy and ferroptosis. Its molecular mechanism may be associated with enhanced hepatic cholesterol synthesis metabolism and alleviation of oxidative stress in the liver cells.
