Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomical features of the mitral isthmus (MI) line, the vessels located there and their localisation in the MI line.

Methods

MI length and wall thickness were measured in a total of 65 autopsied fresh hearts. The distances of the vessels at the level of MI to the left inferior pulmonary vein (LIPV), mitral annulus (MA), endocardium surface (ES) and lateral adipose tissue (LAT) were recorded.

Results

The mean linear length of MI and left atrial wall thickness were 49.6 ± 9.9 mm and 3.9 ± 1.2 mm, respectively. GCV and LCx are approximately 1 cm from MA, 4 cm from LIPV, 5-6 mm from ES and 7 mm from LAT. Great cardiac vein (GCV) was found to be located in the MI line in 100 %, left circumflex artery (LCx) in 60 %, and vein of Marshall (VOM) in 63.1 % of cases. Presence of only GCV was recorded as Type-1 (18.5 %), GCV and LCx as Type-2 (18.5 %), GCV and VOM as Type-3 (21.5 %) and presence of all three as Type-4 (41.5 %). LCx located below the GCV was recorded as Type-A (59 %), above the GCV as Type-B (25.6 %), and at the same level but with LCx on the endocardial surface as Type-C1 (12.8 %) and on the epicardial surface as Type-C2 (2.6 %).

Conclusion

This study proves that the anatomy of MI is far from standardised and helps to raise awareness of the vascular pattern that may be encountered prior to ablation intervention.
目的:本研究的目的是探讨二尖瓣峡(MI)线的解剖特征,位于那里的血管及其在MI线的定位。方法:测定65例新鲜解剖心脏心肌梗死长度和壁厚。记录心肌水平血管到左下肺静脉(LIPV)、二尖瓣环(MA)、心内膜表面(ES)和外侧脂肪组织(LAT)的距离。结果:心肌梗死线长平均49.6±9.9 mm,左房壁厚度平均3.9±1.2 mm。GCV和LCx距MA约1厘米,距LIPV约4厘米,距ES约5-6毫米,距LAT约7毫米。心脏大静脉(GCV)位于心肌梗死线(100%),左旋动脉(LCx)位于心肌梗死线(60%),马歇尔静脉(VOM)位于心肌梗死线(63.1%)。仅GCV为1型(18.5%),GCV和LCx为2型(18.5%),GCV和VOM为3型(21.5%),三者均为4型(41.5%)。位于GCV下方的LCx为a型(59%),位于GCV上方的LCx为b型(25.6%),位于相同水平但心内膜表面的LCx为c1型(12.8%)和心外膜表面的LCx为c2型(2.6%)。结论:本研究证明心肌梗死的解剖结构远未标准化,有助于提高对消融介入前可能遇到的血管形态的认识。

Foramen ovale plays a key role in foetal circulation, however it may remain patent after birth throughout the life. Its patency is so frequent in healthy people (27-35 %), such as to be considered a variant of normal. It is at risk of complications, like paradoxical embolism by right to left shunt with stroke, migraine, temporary blindness, as well as aneurysm, thrombosis and endocarditis of the fossa ovalis. There is no doubt that it should be considered a congenital heart disease at all effects. Invasive cardiology closure with umbrella and even with stiches is nowadays feasible and indicated in specific clinical scenarios. Further research is needed to determine whether cardiac echo-doppler screening for identifing affected patients as a primary prevention measure is advisable.
卵圆孔在胎儿循环中起着关键作用,但它在出生后可能一直未闭。它在健康人群中如此常见(27-35%),以至于被认为是正常的变体。它有并发症的风险,如由右至左分流引起的矛盾栓塞伴中风、偏头痛、暂时性失明,以及动脉瘤、血栓形成和卵窝心内膜炎。毫无疑问,它应该被认为是一种先天性心脏病。有创心脏闭合伞,甚至缝线是目前可行的,并指出在特定的临床情况。需要进一步的研究来确定心脏超声多普勒筛查作为一种一级预防措施是否可取。

Context

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) due to coronary atherosclerosis constitutes the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This review was undertaken to document the historical basis for our contemporary understanding of atherosclerosis-based disease and to provide a rationale for continued support for autopsy-based research to make further progress in reducing the morbidity and mortality from atherosclerosis-related disease.

Objectives

To analyze the contributions of the autopsy-initiated pathological studies to complement and validate other lines of investigation in determining the pathology and pathogenesis of the leading worldwide cause of morbidity and mortality, namely, atherosclerosis and its major complications of coronary atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, coronary thrombosis, acute myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death.

Data sources

Systematic search on PubMed to gather relevant studies concerning autopsy studies and reviews of the pathology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, coronary atherosclerosis, coronary thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death

Conclusions

Extensive published reports have confirmed the continuing importance of the autopsy as a powerful tool to understand the pathogenesis, clinical features, and therapeutic options for major diseases. This specifically has been shown by the analysis of atherosclerosis and its major manifestation of ischemic heart disease, as presented in this (Part I) and its companion (Part II) review. Autopsy-initiated pathological studies have documented the prevalence and natural history of atherosclerosis in different human populations in relationship to the prevalence of risk factors and established that the clinically silent phase of the disease begins in the first decades of life. Insights from these studies have been essential in developing and evaluating strategies for continued progress in preventing and controlling the disability and death associated with atherosclerotic heart disease.
背景:由冠状动脉粥样硬化引起的缺血性心脏病(IHD)是全世界发病率和死亡率的主要原因。本综述旨在记录我们对动脉粥样硬化相关疾病的当代认识的历史基础,并为继续支持基于尸检的研究提供理论依据,以进一步降低动脉粥样硬化相关疾病的发病率和死亡率。目的:分析尸检引发的病理研究的贡献,以补充和验证其他调查方法,以确定世界范围内发病率和死亡率的主要原因,即动脉粥样硬化及其主要并发症冠状动脉粥样硬化、缺血性心脏病、冠状动脉血栓形成、急性心肌梗死和心源性猝死的病理和发病机制。数据来源:系统检索PubMed,收集有关动脉粥样硬化、缺血性心脏病、冠状动脉粥样硬化、冠状动脉血栓形成、心肌梗死和心源性猝死的解剖研究和病理发病机制综述的相关研究。结论:大量已发表的报告证实了解剖作为了解重大疾病发病机制、临床特征和治疗方案的有力工具的重要性。本文(第一部分)及其相关综述(第二部分)对动脉粥样硬化及其缺血性心脏病的主要表现进行了分析,明确表明了这一点。尸检引发的病理研究记录了不同人群中动脉粥样硬化的患病率和自然历史与危险因素的患病率之间的关系,并确定该疾病的临床沉默期始于生命的头几十年。这些研究的见解对于制定和评估预防和控制与动脉粥样硬化性心脏病相关的残疾和死亡的持续进展的策略至关重要。

Background

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an attractive therapeutic target due to its diverse roles in the pathogenesis of conditions characterized by systemic inflammation. IL-6 has also been implicated in the pathophysiology of heart failure. This study aimed to investigate the impact of IL-6 receptor blockade with tocilizumab on the molecular pathways underlying systemic inflammation-induced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model.

Methods

Seventy-three Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: control (n=28), CIA (n=29), and CIA+IL-6 blocker (n=16). Inflammation was induced in the CIA and CIA+IL-6 blocker groups using bovine type II collagen emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. After arthritis onset, the CIA+IL-6 blocker group received tocilizumab for six weeks. Circulating inflammatory markers, relative LV mRNA gene expressions, and LV systolic and diastolic function were assessed.

Results

CIA rats developed LV diastolic and early-stage LV systolic dysfunction, which was not ameliorated by IL-6 blocker administration (p > 0.05). IL-6 blocker administration did not impact circulating inflammatory markers (all p > 0.05) or LV mRNA expression of inflammatory markers compared to the CIA group, nor did it reverse inflammation-induced increases in LV mRNA expression of genes involved in fibrosis and collagen turnover, regulation of titin phosphorylation, Ca2+ handling, mitochondrial function, or apoptosis (all p > 0.05). However, LV mRNA expressions of CD68 and LOX, genes involved in macrophage infiltration and collagen cross-linking, were increased in the CIA group (p = 0.03, p = 0.0004), but not in the CIA+IL-6 blocker group compared to controls (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

These results suggest that although IL-6 blockade by tocilizumab may prevent inflammation-induced collagen cross-linking, the current treatment regimen may not protect against inflammation-induced LV dysfunction. Therefore, the role of IL-6 in the molecular mechanisms of inflammation-induced LV dysfunction remains inconclusive.
背景:白细胞介素-6(IL-6)在以全身炎症为特征的疾病的发病机制中发挥着多种作用,因此是一个极具吸引力的治疗靶点。IL-6 也与心力衰竭的病理生理学有关。本研究旨在探讨托西珠单抗阻断IL-6受体对胶原诱发关节炎(CIA)大鼠模型中全身炎症诱发左心室(LV)功能障碍的分子通路的影响:73只Sprague-Dawley大鼠分为三组:对照组(n=28)、CIA组(n=29)和CIA+IL-6受体阻滞剂组(n=16)。CIA组和CIA+IL-6阻断剂组使用在不完全弗氏佐剂中乳化的牛Ⅱ型胶原蛋白诱发炎症。关节炎发病后,CIA+IL-6 阻断剂组接受了为期六周的托珠单抗治疗。对循环炎症标志物、左心室 mRNA 基因的相对表达以及左心室收缩和舒张功能进行了评估:结果:CIA大鼠出现了左心室舒张功能障碍和早期左心室收缩功能障碍,但服用IL-6受体阻滞剂并没有改善这些症状(p > 0.05)。与 CIA 组相比,IL-6 阻滞剂不会影响循环炎症标志物(所有 p > 0.05)或左心室炎症标志物 mRNA 的表达,也不会逆转炎症诱导的左心室 mRNA 表达增加,这些基因涉及纤维化和胶原周转、滴定蛋白磷酸化调节、Ca2+ 处理、线粒体功能或细胞凋亡(所有 p > 0.05)。然而,与对照组相比,CIA 组参与巨噬细胞浸润和胶原交联的基因 CD68 和 LOX 的 LV mRNA 表达增加(p = 0.03,p = 0.0004),但 CIA+IL-6 阻断剂组没有增加(p > 0.05):这些结果表明,虽然托西珠单抗阻断IL-6可防止炎症诱导的胶原交联,但目前的治疗方案可能无法防止炎症诱导的左心室功能障碍。因此,IL-6在炎症诱导的左心室功能障碍的分子机制中的作用仍无定论。

Objectives

Re-operations due to material degeneration carry a burden for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). The study aim was to compare rapid vs. slow degeneration of biomaterials in CHD patients.

Methods

Explants from re-operations of 29 CHD patients (2015-2022) were grouped according to the duration of implantation (short implantation < 3 years (n = 16) vs. long implantation 10-15 years (n = 13)). Histologic processing and staining allowed tissue and calcification analysis. Micro-X-ray fluorescence (µXRF) was used for elemental analysis. Semi-quantitative comparison of calcium was conducted using a self-developed software.

Results

Thrombosis was recurrently observed in short-implanted RVOT samples. 62.5 % (n = 10) of short-implanted samples showed calcification in Alizarin red staining, in comparison to 69.2 % (n = 9) in the long-implanted group. µXRF analysis revealed calcium deposits in all patients, mostly co-localized with phosphorus. In the short implant group, other detected elements included iron, chlorine, chromium, nickel, titanium and zinc. In the long implant group, iron, nickel, titanium, zinc, copper and iodine were found. No significant difference in calcification (Ca-Si-ratio) between both implantation groups (p = 0.083) was found.

Conclusion

Thrombus formation is a main rapid degeneration cause in the RVOT. Deteriorations of biomaterials in CHD patients show strong parallels to bioprosthetic valve degenerations. Early calcification in young patients is supported by our semi-quantitative calcium analysis. The role of other elements in graft degeneration remains to be assessed in the future.
目的:先天性心脏病(CHD)患者因材料变性而再次手术的负担很重。研究旨在比较先天性心脏病(CHD)患者生物材料的快速退化与缓慢退化:29例CHD患者(2015-2022年)再次手术的切片根据植入时间分组(短期植入<3年(16例)与长期植入10-15年(13例))。通过组织学处理和染色,可以对组织和钙化进行分析。微X射线荧光(µXRF)用于元素分析。使用自行开发的软件对钙进行半定量比较:结果:在短时间内植入的 RVOT 样品中反复观察到血栓形成。在茜素红染色中,62.5%(n=10)的短植入样本出现钙化,相比之下,长植入组的钙化率为 69.2%(n=9)。µXRF分析显示,所有患者都有钙沉积,大部分与磷共定位。在短种植体组中,检测到的其他元素包括铁、氯、铬、镍、钛和锌。在长种植体组中,发现了铁、镍、钛、锌、铜和碘。两组植入物在钙化(钙硅比)方面无明显差异(P=0.083):结论:血栓形成是 RVOT 快速退化的主要原因。结论:血栓形成是 RVOT 快速退化的主要原因,心脏病患者的生物材料退化与生物人工瓣膜退化有很大相似之处。我们的半定量钙分析支持年轻患者的早期钙化。其他因素在移植物退化中的作用仍有待今后评估。

Vascular occlusive diseases remain a major health burden worldwide, necessitating a deeper understanding of the adaptive responses that mitigate their impact. Arteriogenesis, the growth and remodeling of collateral vessels in response to arterial occlusion, is a vital defense mechanism that counteracts fluid shear stress-induced vascular stenosis or occlusion. While physical factors driving arteriogenesis have been extensively studied, the specific cellular mediators involved are poorly understood. Notably, the role of innate and adaptive immune cells, particularly mast cells, in arteriogenesis has received limited attention. This systematic review bridges this knowledge gap by investigating the contribution of mast cells to vascular cell proliferation and leukocyte recruitment in arteriogenesis. A comprehensive search of major databases using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines reveals the critical connection between mast cells, inflammatory cells, innate immune cells, and growth factors in arteriogenesis. Our findings highlight the molecular mechanisms of mast cell activation, sheer stress exertion, and pro-arteriogenic growth factor recruitment. Furthermore, we explore the endogenous and exogenous factors, including nitrite, dipyridamole, thrombin, and cobra venom, triggering mast cell-mediated release of pro-arteriogenic factors. Additionally, we examine the impact of recombinant parathyroid hormone (rPTH) therapy on mast cell numbers and arteriogenesis in bone defect and allograft healing. Our review provides compelling evidence for the pro-arteriogenic role of mast cells, particularly during the early inflammatory phase of vessel occlusion, suggesting that targeting mast cell activation may be a promising therapeutic strategy for enhancing arteriogenesis and treating ischemia-related diseases.
血管闭塞性疾病仍然是世界范围内的一个主要健康负担,需要更深入地了解减轻其影响的适应性反应。动脉发生,即侧支血管在动脉闭塞时的生长和重塑,是一种重要的防御机制,可以抵消流体剪切应力引起的血管狭窄或闭塞。虽然驱动动脉发生的物理因素已被广泛研究,但所涉及的特定细胞介质却知之甚少。值得注意的是,先天和适应性免疫细胞,特别是肥大细胞,在动脉形成中的作用受到的关注有限。本系统综述通过研究肥大细胞在动脉形成过程中对血管细胞增殖和白细胞募集的贡献,弥合了这一知识差距。使用首选报告项目对主要数据库进行全面搜索,以进行系统评价和荟萃分析指南,揭示了肥大细胞、炎症细胞、先天免疫细胞和动脉发生中生长因子之间的关键联系。我们的研究结果强调了肥大细胞活化、应激作用和促动脉生成生长因子募集的分子机制。此外,我们探讨了内源性和外源性因素,包括亚硝酸盐、双嘧达莫、凝血酶和眼镜蛇毒液,触发肥大细胞介导的促动脉生成因子的释放。此外,我们研究了重组甲状旁腺激素(rPTH)治疗对骨缺损和同种异体移植愈合中肥大细胞数量和动脉发生的影响。我们的综述为肥大细胞的促动脉生成作用提供了令人信服的证据,特别是在血管闭塞的早期炎症阶段,这表明靶向肥大细胞激活可能是一种有希望的治疗策略,可以促进动脉生成和治疗缺血相关疾病。
