Crystallizing nanoparticles derived from vascular smooth muscle cells contain the calcification inhibitor osteoprotegerin [PDF]

, 2011
Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, was initially found to modulate bone mass by blocking osteoclast maturation and function. Rodent models have also revealed a role for OPG as an inhibitor of vascular calcification. However,

Extensive calcification in adenocarcinoma of the lung: A case report

Thoracic Cancer, 2020
Calcification in lung nodules usually indicates a benign lesion. Here, we report the case of a 59‐year‐old male patient with a well defined 30 mm calcified nodule in his right upper lung lobe and calcified mediastinal lymph nodes.

Differential predictability for high-risk plaque characteristics between fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio

Scientific Reports, 2023
To evaluate the differential associations of high-risk plaque characteristics (HRPC) with resting or hyperemic physiologic indexes (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR] or fractional flow reserve [FFR]), a total of 214 vessels from 127 patients with ...

Evaluation of Physiological Intracranial Calcifications in Children Using Computed Tomography [PDF]

Serbian Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research, 2022
Abstract Physiological intracranial calcifications have an increasing prevalence with the age and can be found in both children and in adults. These calcifications are basically asymptomatic and their presence can only be noticed through neuro-imaging.

Vascular Calcification and Stone Disease: A New Look towards the Mechanism

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2015
Calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals are formed in pathological calcification as well as during stone formation. Although there are several theories as to how these crystals can develop through the combined interactions of biochemical and biophysical factors,

Octacalcium phosphate crystals directly stimulate expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase through p38 and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinases in articular chondrocytes [PDF]

, 2005
Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals, including hydroxyapatite, octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and carbonate-apatite, have been associated with severe osteoarthritis and several degenerative arthropathies.
