Patients with HGPS are healthy at birth, then get growth impairment, such as loss of subcutaneous fat, alopecia, osteoporosis and heart diseases in 1-2years. HGPS is caused by progerin, which is a toxic form of lamin A expressed in most differentiated cells. Here, we discuss current views about the molecular mechanisms, the mouse models and the treatment approaches of HGPS.We summarize the work in this area and provide directions and clues for future studies.展开更多

Introduction: Calcification in the region of mitral-aortic continuity is significant at its origin and etiopathogenesis. The etiology of valvular calcification may be divided into 3 groups, namely, inflammation, degeneration and metabolic disturbances. Calcification of cardiac valve leaflets is most often due to rheumatic etiology in tropical nations. Case Report: A 52-year-old male developed sudden onset of light-headedness and palpitations due to atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic 2D echocardiography revealed calcification of anterior mitral leaflet and aortic valve which resembles a bone-like structure and the patient was advised double valve replacement. Conclusion: It was known that the cellular mechanisms play an important role in its genesis and therapeutic strategies are targeted to reverse this process by understanding its biological mediators.展开更多
