Abstract

Viral myocarditis (VMC) is a common cardiovascular disease, and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been postulated to be involved in its pathology. Using microarrays, we observed that miRNA-21 and -146b were upregulated in a murine model of VMC. We also found that miRNA-451 was downregulated. In vivo silencing of miRNA-21 and -146b resulted in less-severe VMC. Overexpression of miRNA-451 did not ameliorate the severity of VMC. Further work revealed that inhibition of miRNA-21 and -146b decreased the expression levels of Th17 and RORγt . Overexpression of miRNA-451 had no effect on IL-17 and RORγt expression. Inhibition of miRNA-21 and -146b might ameliorate myocardium inflammation by mediating downregulation of RORγt expression, indicating that these miRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of murine VMC.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.
