Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is markedly influenced by both immune and inflammatory reactions throughout its progression. Dendritic cells, as pivotal antigen-presenting entities, play a crucial role in the initiation of immune responses and the preservation of immunological homeostasis. Accumulating data indicates that dendritic cells are present in healthy arteries and accumulate significantly in atherosclerotic plaques. Novel immunotherapeutic approaches and vaccination protocols have yielded substantial clinical advancements in managing chronic inflammatory diseases, with dendritic cell-centric modalities emerging for atherosclerotic management. In this review, we delineate the essential functions and underlying mechanisms of dendritic cells and their subsets in the modulation of atherosclerotic inflammation and immune responses. We underscore the immense promise of dendritic cell-based immunotherapeutic strategies, including vaccines and innovative combinations with nanotechnological drug delivery platforms for atherosclerosis treatment. We also discuss the challenges associated with dendritic cell immunotherapy and provide perspectives on the future direction of this field.

Objective To analyze the changes in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in patients with essential hypertension，and to explore the effect of blood pressure on OCTA parameters. Methods A total of 164 patients with essential hypertension were selected and divided into controlled blood pressure group (n=92) and uncontrolled blood pressure group (n=72). OCTA examination was performed on the optic disc and macula of all patients, and the right eyes were selected for analysis. Results There were no significant differences in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) total vascular density, RPC total small vessel density, perifovea superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vascular density, and perifovea deep capillary plexus (DCP) vascular density between the two groups of patients. There were no significant differences in foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, FAZ diameter, and fovea retinal thickness between the two groups of patients. The density of the parafovea SCP, parafovea DCP, and fractal dimension (FD) in the uncontrolled blood pressure group were significantly lower than those in the controlled blood pressure group (P＜0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that elevation of blood pressure was a independently related factor of reduced parafovea DCP density (P＝0.026), while there was no correlation between the uncontrolled blood pressure and parafovea SCP density and FD level. Conclusions The blood pressure level is correlated with the parafovea DCP density, while has no correlation with other OCTA parameters in hypertension patients.

Purpose To analyze the application value of enhanced T2* weighted angiography(ESWAN)quantitative parameters in predicting the invasiveness of cystic gland tumors.Materials and Methods A total of 81 patients with ovarian cystadenoma confirmed by pathological examination in Central Hospital of Xuancheng City,Anhui Province from June 2018 to June 2023 were retrospective selected.All patients underwent pelvic MRI examination(including ESWAN sequence).The ESWAN data was processed to obtain amplitude,phase,R2* and T2*values,and the quantitative intratumoral susceptibility signal(ITSS)ratio was automatically obtained using AnatomySketch software.According to the invasiveness of ovarian cystic gland tumors,they were divided into malignant cystic gland tumor group and benign cystic gland tumor group(including benign and borderline cystic gland tumors).The differences in various parameters between the two groups were compared,and the receiver operating curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each parameter on the invasiveness of ovarian cystic gland tumors.Results Among the 81 patients with ovarian cystic tumors,29 patients were in the malignant cystic tumor group,with an incidence rate of 35.80%.The CA-125,R2* values and ITSS ratio in the malignant cystic gland tumor group were higher than those in the benign cystic gland tumor group,and the differences were statistically significant(t=15.153,14.006,8.200,all P<0.05).The R2* value(OR=3.464,95%CI 1.712-7.008,P=0.001)and ITSS ratio(OR=8.376,95%CI 1.399-14.519,P=0.002)were independent risk factors for the occurrence of malignant ovarian cystadenoma(OR>1,P<0.05);the optimal critical values for R2* value,ITSS ratio and their combined prediction of malignant ovarian cystic tumors were 5.700,0.165 and 0.557,respectively.The area under the curve was 0.942,0.870 and 0.975,respectively.The sensitivity was 82.80%,82.80%and 89.70%,and the specificity was 96.20%,75.00%and 98.10%.Conclusion R2* value and ITSS ratio are independent predictive molecules for malignant cystic tumors,and their combination can enhance the predictive efficacy of invasiveness in ovarian cystic tumors.

Objective: To examine the association of hypertension onset age with diabetes, so as to provide insights into reducing the the risk of cardiovascular events. Methods: Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected through the program of early screening and comprehensive intervention for the high-risk cardiovascular disease population in Changning District and Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality from 2016 to 2020. Demographic information, disease history, hypertension onset age, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory tests. The residents were divided into four groups based on the onset age of hypertension: <45, 45-<55, 55-<65 and ≥65 years old, and the residents with normal blood pressure were selected as control. The association of hypertension onset age with prediabetes and diabetes were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 25 228 residents were recruited, including 8 753 males (34.70%) and 16 475 females (65.30%). The prevalence of hypertension was 43.80%. There were 1 779, 3 274, 3 781 and 2 217 cases with hypertension onset age of <45, 45-<55, 55-<65 and ≥65 years old, respectively, and 14 177 residents with normal blood pressure. The prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes were 24.01% and 11.29%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, marital status and educational level, compared with the normal blood pressure group, the risk of prediabetes was higher in the hypertension onset age groups of <45 (OR=1.345, 95%CI: 1.164-1.553), 45-<55 (OR=1.365, 95%CI: 1.212-1.536) and 55-<65 years old (OR=1.376, 95%CI: 1.239-1.527), and the risk of diabetes was higher in the hypertension onset age groups of <45 (OR=2.302, 95%CI: 1.906-2.775), 45-<55 (OR=2.349, 95%CI: 2.016-2.734), 55-<65 (OR=1.909, 95%CI: 1.667-2.184) and ≥65 years old (OR=1.315, 95%CI: 1.131-1.526). Conclusion There are statistically significant associations between hypertension onset age with prediabetes and diabetes.
