Arterial Stiffness Assessed by Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Arterial stiffness is an age-related disorder. In the medial layer of arteries, mechanical fracture due to fatigue failure for the pulsatile wall strain causes medial degeneration vascular remodeling.

Biomimetic 3D‐Printed Adaptive Hydrogel Bioadhesives Featuring Superior Infection Resistance for Challenging Tissue Adhesion, Hemostasis, and Healthcare

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic 3D‐printed hydrogel bioadhesives (PTLAs) are designed to address the limitations of existing bioadhesives, offering solutions for challenging tissue adhesion and enhanced healthcare. These PTLAs feature robust wet/underwater tissue adhesion/sealing, superior freeze/pressure and infection resistance, and adaptive self‐healing/gelling capacity,

Arterial Stiffness and Dialysis Calcium Concentration

open access: yesInternational Journal of Nephrology, 2011
Arterial stiffness is the major determinant of isolated systolic hypertension and increased pulse pressure. Aortic stiffness is also associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease, hypertension ...

Gut microbial diversity is associated with lower arterial stiffness in women

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2018
Aims The gut microbiome influences metabolic syndrome (MetS) and inflammation and is therapeutically modifiable. Arterial stiffness is poorly correlated with most traditional risk factors.

Interactions Between Active Matters and Endogenous Fields

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes endogenous field information and computational methods in contexts such as cancer, wounds, and biofilms. It organizes NAMs and AAMs by sensing, transmitting, and executing functions, compares their limitations, and from these contrasts proposes design strategies for next‐generation AAMs, offering perspectives to foster ...

Gender Difference in the Relationship of Albuminuria and Arterial Stiffness in Chinese Adults - a 6.6-Year Follow-Up Longitudinal Study

open access: yesKidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2018
Background/Aims: Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) reflects the stiffness of muscular arteries. Albuminuria is recognized as a marker of vascular dysfunction. We assessed the association between arterial stiffness and albuminuria in a population-

How does empagliflozin improve arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus? Sub analysis of a clinical trial

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2019
BackgroundEmpagliflozin has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality, but the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are poorly understood. It was previously demonstrated that empagliflozin improved arterial stiffness.MethodsOur analysis comprising 58 ...

Chemoselective Characterization of New Extracellular Matrix Deposition in Bioengineered Tumor Tissues

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Understanding the bi‐directional crosstalk between cells and their surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical for tissue engineering. This study presents a chemoselective strategy for proteomic profiling of newly deposited ECM from resident cells.
