BACKGROUND: The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist liraglutide (LIRA) is a potential hypoglycemic drug with anti-atherosclerosis (AS) effects. Autophagy in the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) facilitates AS. However, the role of autophagy in the anti-AS mechanism of LIRA remains unclear. AIMS: To examine the role and mechanisms of autophagy in LIRA's improvement of the biological characteristics of VSMCs in high glucose conditions. STUDY DESIGN: A VSMC injury model induced by high glucose concentrations was used to detect the regulatory effects of LIRA on VSMC autophagy, calcification, migration, proliferation and phenotype conversion...

Catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment for atrial arrhythmias, and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of ablation strategies. Significant technological evolution and widespread increase in operator experience have facilitated the effectiveness of catheter ablation to achieve durable PVIs in single or multiple ablation procedures. Nevertheless, arrhythmia recurrence is a common problem even after establishing PVI. Data on catheter ablation in these patients are sparse and repeat ablation in this population is highly challenging...

BACKGROUND: Increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit leads to reduced abdominal perfusion pressure (APP), causing circulatory insufficiency and organ failure. AIMS: To investigate the effect of maintaining a targeted APP on renal injury and the effect of increased IAP on the mortality rate in patients with septic shock. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized, controlled, open-label study. METHODS: A total of 72 patients were randomly divided into two groups (MAP65 or APP60)...
