Ultrasound methods of imaging atherosclerotic plaque in carotid arteries: examinations using contrast agents

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2020
The primary technique for detecting the presence and monitoring the development of carotid atherosclerotic plaque is ultrasound. The development of ultrasound techniques has made it possible to precisely visualise not only blood flow, but also vessel ...

Nanostructured 316L Stainless Steel Stent Surfaces Improve Corrosion Resistance, and Enhance Endothelization and Hemocompatibility

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of nanostructured surface modification on corrosion resistance, HUVEC functions, and platelet interactions of 316L SS for cardiovascular stents. Nanostructured surfaces enhanced HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis‐related gene expression while reducing platelet adhesion and hemolysis.

Comparative study on hemodynamic environments around patient-specific carotid atherosclerotic plaques with different symmetrical features

Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2021
Atherosclerotic plaque near the carotid sinus is a key risk factor for ischemic stroke. Although disturbed hemodynamic environments around atherosclerotic plaque had been investigated in many studies, the effect of their symmetrical features, especially ...

Mechanical Interactions Impact the Functions of Immune Cells and Their Application in Immunoengineering

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This review covers the mechanical forces experienced by immune cells through cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix interactions and how these forces influence their receptors and functions. These relationships between forces and cellular functions can be exploited using engineering techniques to modify the physical properties of materials for novel ...

Increased serum calcium levels are associated with carotid atherosclerotic plaque in normocalcaemic individuals with type 2 diabetes

Therapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an elevated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Although previous data have suggested that serum calcium levels could be involved in T2DM and cardiovascular disease, whether this ...

Genetic susceptibility loci for cardiovascular disease and their impact on atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in part caused by lipid uptake in the vascular wall, but the exact underlying mechanisms leading to acute myocardial infarction and stroke remain poorly understood. Large consortia identified

DNA‐PKcs‐Driven YAP1 Phosphorylation and Nuclear Translocation: a Key Regulator of Ferroptosis in Hyperglycemia‐Induced Cardiac Dysfunction in Type 1 Diabetes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the context of chronic hyperglycemia, a DDR is initiated, leading to the pathological activation of DNA‐PKcs in the diabetic heart. This activated DNA‐PKcs directly interacts with and phosphorylates YAP1 at Thr226, thereby increasing the nuclear expression of YAP1.
