Association of red blood cell distribution width/albumin ratio with renal prognosis among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A retrospective cohort study

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Red cell distribution width (RDW)/serum albumin ratio (RAR) is a novel and simple inflammatory marker and has emerged as a reliable prognostic marker in various diseases. Our study reveals that a high RAR is a practical and easily obtainable predictive tool for assessing renal risk in patients with T2DM, thereby offering a tangible benefit to ...

Reduced elastogenesis: a clue to the arteriosclerosis and emphysematous changes in Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia? [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Arteriosclerosis and emphysema develop in individuals with Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD), a multisystem disorder caused by biallelic mutations in SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin,

Nutrigenomic insights and cardiovascular benefits of blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott.) and mugwort (Artemisia campestris L.)

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott) and mugwort (Artemisia campestris L.) are plants traditionally used to treat various pathologies, including hypertension. The vasodilatory and hypotensive effects of blackberry were investigated through experiments in rat models (n = 5 rats per group) and compared with those of mugwort, which had been ...

Decreased level of serum carnitine might lead to arteriosclerosis progression via the accumulation of advanced glycation end products in maintenance hemodialysis patients

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2017
Background Carnitine is reported to improve insulin resistance and reduce oxidative stress. Hyperglycemia and increased oxidative stress are well known to promote the production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that can lead to arteriosclerosis ...

Molecular pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder: Focus on the fibroblast growth factor 23–Klotho axis and bone turnover dynamics

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) is a major complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by disruptions in mineral metabolism, abnormal bone turnover and vascular calcification, which collectively increase the risk of fractures and cardiovascular disease.

Cholesterol and arteriosclerosis [PDF]

, 2016
The endothelium, the layer of cells lining the interior of blood vessels, forms a complicated interface that uses signals carried by the circulating blood to modulate vascular tone, the concentration of inflammatory cells and the coagulation cascade.

Circumferential strain and strain rates of the descending aorta as novel measures of aortic stiffness and wall mechanics from standard cardiac MRI

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract During standard cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) the horizontal long‐axis cine image (i.e., 4‐chamber) is captured which includes a cross‐section of the descending aorta. The aortic cross‐section can be used to assess aortic stiffness (distensibility; ∆area/pressure) or circumferential strain (percentage vascular deformation).

Loss of wall stress homoeostasis in ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm: histomorphometric insights into patient variants

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Dynamic interplay between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the medial layer of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA) associated with two variants: thickening (hypertrophic) and thinning (hypotrophic) aneurysm remodelling.
