Open AccessExcimer laser ablation combined with drug-coated balloon versus drug-coated balloon in the treatment of de novo atherosclerotic lesions in lower extremities (ELABORATE): study protocol for a real-world clinical trial
The efficacy and validity of excimer laser ablation (ELA) in the in-stent restenosis (ISR) has been confirmed. However, its application in de novo atherosclerotic lesions of lower extremity artery disease (LEA...

Open AccessReturn to work after cell transplantation in patients with angiitis-induced critical limb ischaemia and factors related: a single-centre retrospective cohort study
Angiitis-induced critical limb ischaemia (AICLI) patients, who are usually young and have a high amputation rate, always lose their ability to return to the labour force. Return to work (RTW) not only indicate...

Open AccessThe peripheral blood mononuclear cells versus purified CD34+ cells transplantation in patients with angiitis-induced critical limb ischemia trial: 5-year outcomes and return to work analysis—a randomized single-blinded non-inferiority trial
Patients with AICLI constitute a considerable proportion of NO-CLI patients and cannot be treated with surgical or endovascular treatment. Although cell therapy has shown satisfactory results in treating AICLI...

Open AccessAutologous peripheral blood-derived stem cells transplantation for treatment of no-option angiitis-induced critical limb ischemia: 10-year management experience
Previous studies have demonstrated that no-option angiitis-induced critical limb ischemia (NO-AICLI) could be significantly improved by transplantation of peripheral blood-derived stem cells (PBDSCs). Addition...

Isopropylmalate isomerase MoLeu1 orchestrates leucine biosynthesis, fungal development, and pathogenicity in Magnaporthe oryzae
The biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) is conserved in fungi and plants, but not in animals. The Leu1 gene encodes isopropylmalate isomerase that catalyzes the conversion of α-isopropylmalate i...
