    Abstract In this study, the black fertile (BSs) and the red unfertile seeds (RSs) of the Greek endemic Paeonia clusii subsp. rhodia (Stearn) Tzanoud were studied for the first time. Nine phenolic derivatives, trans -resveratol, trans -resveratrol-4′-O-β- d -glucopyranoside, trans - ε -viniferin, trans -gnetin H, luteolin, luteolin 3′-O-β- d -glucoside, luteolin 3′,4′-di-O-β- d -glucopyranoside, and benzoic acid, along with the monoterpene glycoside paeoniflorin, have been isolated and structurally elucidated. Furthermore, 33 metabolites have been identified from BSs through UHPLC-HRMS, including 6 monoterpene glycosides of the paeoniflorin type with the characteristic cage-like terpenic skeleton found only in plants of the genus Paeonia , 6 gallic acid derivatives, 10 oligostilbene compounds, and 11 flavonoid derivatives. From the RSs, through HS-SPME and GC-MS, 19 metabolites were identified, among which nopinone, myrtanal, and cis -myrtanol have been reported only in peonies’ roots and flowers to date. The total phenolic content of both seed extracts (BS and RS) was extremely high (up to 289.97 mg GAE/g) and, moreover, they showed interesting antioxidative activity and anti-tyrosinase properties. The isolated compounds were also biologically evaluated. Especially in the case of trans -gnetin H, the expressed anti-tyrosinase activity was higher than that of kojic acid, which is a well-known whitening agent standard.

    Abstract Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of atherosclerosis affecting 5 million adults in the United States, with an age-adjusted prevalence of 4% to 15% and increasing up to 30% with age and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. In this article we focus on lower extremity PAD and specifically on the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal artery (SFPA), which are the most common anatomic locations of lower extremity atherosclerosis. We summarize current evidence and perform a systematic review on the diagnostic evaluation as well as the medical, endovascular and surgical management of SFPA disease.

    Abstract Pericarditis is a common disorder that has multiple causes and presents in various primary-care and secondary-care settings. It is diagnosed in 0.1% of all hospital admissions and in 5% of emergency room visits for chest pain. Despite the advance of new diagnostic techniques, pericarditis is most commonly idiopathic, and radiation therapy, cardiac surgery, and percutaneous procedures have become important causes. Pericarditis is frequently benign and self-limiting. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents remain the first-line treatment for uncomplicated cases. Integrated use of new imaging methods facilitates accurate detection and management of complications such as pericardial effusion or constriction. In this article, we perform a systematic review on the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management of acute pericarditis. We summarize current evidence on contemporary and emerging treatment strategies.

    Abstract Physical activity is associated with a reduced incidence of coronary disease, but the mechanisms mediating this effect are not defined. There has been considerable recent interest in inflammation in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Some of the beneficial role of physical activity may result from its effects on the inflammatory process. We searched PubMed for articles published between 1975 through May 2004 using the terms exercise, physical activity, or physical fitness combined with C-reactive protein, inflammation, inflammatory markers, or cytokines. The review revealed 19 articles on the acute inflammatory response to exercise, 18 on cross-sectional comparisons of subjects by activity levels, and 5 examining prospectively the effects of exercise training on the inflammatory process. Exercise produces a short-term, inflammatory response, whereas both cross-sectional comparisons and longitudinal exercise training studies demonstrate a long-term "anti-inflammatory" effect. This anti-inflammatory response may contribute to the beneficial effects of habitual physical activity.

    Abstract Spontaneous hemopericardium is extremely rare in patients with hemophilia and has never been reported in hemophilia B-factor IX deficiency. We report a patient with hemophilia B who presented with spontaneous hemopericardium and tamponade requiring emergent pericardiocentesis. As advances in therapies improve the longevity and quality of life of patients with hemophilia, it is likely that adult interventional cardiologists will increasingly encounter these patients in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. We review the clinical challenges raised by this group of patients undergoing cardiac procedures and present a stepwise approach to optimal management during the periprocedural period.

    Abstract Malignancies may cause cholestatic jaundice through well-recognized mechanisms (e.g., bile duct obstruction or widespread hepatic infiltration). Paraneoplastic syndromes associated with malignancy, particularly with renal cell carcinoma (Stauffer's syndrome) and malignant lymphoproliferative diseases, can induce a reversible form of cholestasis through an unclear pathogenetic mechanism. Prostate cancer presenting initially with cholestatic jaundice without any obvious cause (i.e., obstruction or infiltration) has been reported in 2 cases in the medical literature. We report a patient who presented with pruritus and cholestatic jaundice. During the diagnostic work-up, prostate cancer was diagnosed. Conjugated bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels were increased markedly with modest increases of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and transaminase levels. The results of appropriate investigations performed during the patient's hospitalizations indicated no evidence of hepatic metastases or extrahepatic biliary obstruction. After treatment with flutamide and leuprolide, the patient's symptoms and the laboratory abnormalities reversed rapidly. We regard the cholestatic jaundice of this patient as part of a paraneoplastic syndrome; the cause of cholestasis remains an enigma. Patients with unexplained cholestasis should be investigated for malignancies, including prostate cancer.
