Abstract
Diabetes and chemotherapy frequently give rise to severe cardiovascular complications, including chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and diabetes-associated vascular remodeling. Nevertheless, the precise epidemiological features of these cardiovascular ailments remain incompletely elucidated, resulting in a dearth of effective therapeutic strategies in clinical settings. To tackle this intricate challenge, we have delved extensively into database resources, conducted comprehensive analyses of pertinent epidemiological data, and designed silicified curcumin (Si/Cur) microspheres as a novel therapeutic approach for cardiovascular diseases. By harnessing the alkaline microenvironment generated by silicon (Si), Si/Cur markedly elevates the bioavailability of curcumin (Cur). Further investigations have elucidated that Si/Cur exerts its therapeutic actions primarily via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, effectively suppressing vascular remodeling and mitigating myocardial injury, thus disrupting the vicious cycle of persistent cardiovascular damage. In conclusion, this study integrates clinical cohort research to dissect epidemiological characteristics, directs the design and application of biomaterials, and paves the way for a novel and efficacious therapeutic avenue for the management of cardiovascular diseases.</p>
