Ultrosound assessment of the thoracic and abdominal aorta in civil aviation pilots of senior age group

Атеротромбоз, 2020
Introduction. Early detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in different arterial vessels, including the main vessel aorta, is important for clinical practice and aeromedical assessment, especially in senior age people.

Expression of p-PPARγ in the aging thoracic aorta of spontaneously hypertensive rat and inhibitory effect of rosiglitazone

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2014
Objective: To investigate the expression of phosphorylated peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (p-PPARγ) in the aging thoracic aorta of spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and the inhibitory effect of rosiglitazone on the phosphorylation of ...

Chemerin Added to Endothelin-1 Promotes Rat Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Migration

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
BackgroundWhile chemerin has been shown to increase proliferation and migration of systemic vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contributing therefore to the development of hypertension, this remains to be clarified for the pulmonary circulation ...

Risk Factors for Thoracic Aortic Dissection

Genes, 2022
Thoracic aortic aneurysms involving the root and/or the ascending aorta enlarge over time until an acute tear in the intimal layer leads to a highly fatal condition, an acute aortic dissection (AAD).

The effects of irisin on the rat thoracic aorta: a histological study

Folia Morphologica, 2022
BACKGROUND: Irisin, a polypeptide hormone that is released from skeletal muscle in response to exercise, has been found to improve endothelial functions, protect against endothelial injuries and change blood pressure, which also affected blood vessels ...

TGF-β Signaling Protects the Thoracic and Abdominal Aorta from Angiotensin II-Induced Pathology by Distinct Mechanisms

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2017
Objective— The role of TGF-&bgr; (transforming growth factor-&bgr;) signaling in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation is controversial. Others reported that systemic blockade of TGF-&bgr; by neutralizing antibodies accelerated AAA development in ...

Thoracic aorta calcification but not inflammation is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk: results of the CAMONA study

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2016
PurposeArterial inflammation and vascular calcification are regarded as early prognostic markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study we investigated the relationship between CVD risk and arterial inflammation (18F-FDG PET/CT imaging), vascular

Structure of the Elastin-Contractile Units in the Thoracic Aorta and How Genes that Cause Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections Disrupt this Structure

Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2015
The medial layer of the aorta confers elasticity and strength to the aortic wall and is composed of alternating layers of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and elastic fibers.

From Tear to Fear: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Patients With Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Acute type A aortic dissection presents with abrupt onset of pain that requires emergency surgery. However, minimal research exists on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in survivors.
