The dynamic role of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in monitoring coagulation dysfunction during COVID-19 progression: a review

COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has led to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, with severe complications often involving coagulation dysfunction and thromboembolic events. Identifying reliable biomarkers for early detection and monitoring of these complications is crucial for improving patient outcomes. The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has emerged as a potential biomarker in this context, given its role in inflammation and immune response. Elevated suPAR levels correlate with disease severity and inflammatory markers, making it a valuable indicator of the complex interplay between inflammation and coagulation observed in COVID-19. Elevated suPAR levels have been linked to an increased risk of thromboembolic events, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Combining suPAR measurement with other coagulation markers, such as D-dimer, enhances the predictive accuracy for thrombotic complications. Furthermore, higher suPAR levels are associated with increased disease severity, intensive care requirements, and higher mortality rates, underscoring its significance in risk stratification and therapeutic decision-making. The integration of suPAR measurement into routine clinical practice for COVID-19 could significantly aid in early diagnosis, risk assessment, and monitoring of therapeutic interventions. By providing insights into the patient's inflammatory and coagulation status, suPAR can guide the timely initiation of anticoagulant therapy and other treatments aimed at reducing thromboembolic complications. As research continues to validate suPAR's utility across diverse populations and clinical settings, it holds promise for becoming an integral component of clinical management strategies to mitigate the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19.

The combination effect of treadmill exercise and valerian hydroalcoholic extract on the heart of type 2 diabetic rats

Objectives

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder recognized for inducing endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries. This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of valerian hydroalcoholic extract and exercise in diabetic rats.

Methods

Thirty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: control, diabetes, diabetic rats undergoing treadmill exercise, diabetic rats administered valerian extract (200 mg/kg, oral), and diabetic rats receiving a combination of valerian extract and treadmill exercise for 8 weeks. Antioxidants and lipoproteins were assessed via blood sampling at the study's conclusion. Hemodynamic parameters and the response of the coronary artery bed to constrictors and dilators were evaluated by connecting the heart to a Langendorff device.

Results

Diabetes was associated with a diminished vascular vasodilator response, which was enhanced by the combined treatment of valerian extract and 8 weeks of exercise. Moreover, elevated levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were observed in groups receiving both valerian extract and exercise.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that the combination of treadmill exercise and hydroalcoholic extract may hold promise in managing cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients by leveraging their antioxidant properties.

Diffuse arterial atherosclerosis presenting with acute ischemic gastritis: A case report

BACKGROUND

Ischemic gastritis is a clinically rare disease with high mortality that infrequently reported in the medical literature and under-recognized clinically and histopathologically. Early diagnosis and treatment can only be achieved through upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after symptoms appear.

CASE SUMMARY

A 68-year-old woman with a history of intracranial aneurysm developed dizziness, chest tightness and unconsciousness for 2 d. Computed tomography angiography showed diffuse coronary atherosclerosis, moderate to severe stenosis in the proximal end of the left anterior descending branch, multiple calcified plaques in the proximal end of the circumflex branch and right coronary artery, and mild to moderate stenosis. The patient also developed diffuse atherosclerosis in the splenic and mesenteric arteries, with mild lumen stenosis and atherosclerosis in the abdominal aorta and its branches. Endoscopy showed submucosal congestion and damage of the entire gastric mucosa, of which the fundus and body of the stomach were most seriously affected. The mucosa was swollen, with a deep purple color, surface erosion and dark red oozing blood. Pathological examination showed bleeding and necrosis of the gastric mucosa, with residual contours of the gastric glands, consistent with ischemic gastritis.

CONCLUSION

Ischemic gastritis is a rare disease that may be difficult to diagnose as its symptoms may be similar to those of other gastrointestinal diseases. Diagnosis is usually based on endoscopic and pathological examinations, which show insufficient blood supply to the gastric mucosa leading to mucosal damage and necrosis.
