A New Multiscale Representation for Shapes and Its Application to Blood Vessel Recovery [PDF]

SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 32(4), 1724-1739, 2010, 2009
In this paper, we will first introduce a novel multiscale representation (MSR) for shapes. Based on the MSR, we will then design a surface inpainting algorithm to recover 3D geometry of blood vessels. Because of the nature of irregular morphology in vessels and organs, both phantom and real inpainting scenarios were tested using our new algorithm ...

The HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir increases lipoprotein production and has no effect on lipoprotein clearance in mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
This study examined the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitor therapy on lipoprotein production and catabolism in vivo. The HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir was given to C57BL/6 mice fed either a basal low-fat diet or a Western ...

Tissue fibrosis: a principal proof for the central role of Misrepair in aging [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Tissue fibrosis is the phenomenon that a tissue has progressive deposition of collagen fibers with age. Tissue fibrosis is associated with aging of most of our organs, and it is the main pathology in arteriosclerosis, chronic bronchitis/emphysema, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Role of noncoding RNA in vascular remodelling [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose of review: Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are becoming fundamentally important in the pathophysiology relating to injury-induced vascular remodelling.

Telomere length, cardiovascular risk and arteriosclerosis in human kidneys: an observational cohort study

Aging, 2015
Background Replicative senescence, associated with telomere shortening, plays an important role in aging and cardiovascular disease. The relation between telomere length, cardiovascular risk, and renal disease is unknown. Methods Our study consisted of a

Retinal Vessel Segmentation based on Fully Convolutional Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
The morphological attributes of retinal vessels, such as length, width, tortuosity and branching pattern and angles, play an important role in diagnosis, screening, treatment, and evaluation of various cardiovascular and ophthalmologic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and arteriosclerosis.

Delayed therapy with clopidogrel and everolimus prevents progression of transplant arteriosclerosis and impairs humoral alloimmunity in murine aortic allografts.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2015
OBJECTIVES It was previously shown that the combination of clopidogrel and everolimus reduced the development of transplant arteriosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether delayed onset of treatment, similar to the clinical situation ...

ACAT2 contributes cholesteryl esters to newly secreted VLDL, whereas LCAT adds cholesteryl ester to LDL in mice

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The relative contributions of ACAT2 and LCAT to the cholesteryl ester (CE) content of VLDL and LDL were measured. ACAT2 deficiency led to a significant decrease in the percentage of CE (37.2 ± 2.1% vs.

Modified arteriosclerosis score predicts the outcomes of diabetic kidney disease

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background The significance of renal arteriosclerosis in the prediction of the renal outcomes of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains undetermined. Methods We enrolled 174 patients with DKD from three centres from January 2010 to July 2017. The severity
