Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the expression of TGF-β/Smad pathway-related indices in patients with isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA) complicated with iliac arteriovenous fistula (IAVF) and their relationship with prognosis.
Methods: From January 2016 to June 2022, 83 patients with IIAA complicated with IAVF (Study group) and 54 patients with IIAA not complicated with IAVF (control group) were studied. The related indices of TGF-β/Smad pathway were evaluated, and the effects of each index on the formation of IAVF were analyzed. The patients were divided into the survival group (64 cases) and death group (19 cases), and the prognostic value of indices in combination was analyzed.
Results: TGF-β, p-Smad2, p-Smad3, p-JNK, and p-ERK in the study group were higher than those in the control group. Abnormal increase of pSmad3 expression was a risk factor for IAVF formation in patients with IIAA. TGF-β level in the death group was higher than that in the survival group, and p-Smad3 and p-JNK proteins were higher than those in the survival group. The AUC value of indices in the TGF-β/Smad pathway in combination was greater than that of each index alone. Abnormal increased expression of pSmad3 was a risk factor for prognosis of patients with IIAA complicated with IAVF.
Conclusion: The abnormal increase of TGF-β/Smad pathway-related indices is related to poor prognosis of patients with IIAA complicated with IAVF, and the combined detection of all indices has a predictive value for patients' prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is a reputable journal that has converted to a full Open Access format starting from Volume 45 in 2023. While previous volumes are still accessible through a Pay to Read model, the journal now provides free and open access to its content. It serves as an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date scientific and clinical information concerning both human and animal hypertension. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including full research papers, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and commentaries. Through these publications, the journal aims to enhance current understanding and support the timely detection, management, control, and prevention of hypertension-related conditions.
One notable aspect of Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is its coverage of special issues that focus on the proceedings of symposia dedicated to hypertension research. This feature allows researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the latest advancements in this field.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in several renowned databases, including Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes News (Online), Reactions Weekly (Online), CABI, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BV, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the National Library of Medicine, among others. These affiliations ensure that the journal's content receives broad visibility and facilitates its discoverability by professionals and researchers in related disciplines.
