Histological evaluation of the common carotid arteries in the goat (Capra Hircus)
Cluj Veterinary JournalFragments of the common carotid arteries were collected from 8 goats that had succumbed to accidents. These samples underwent histological processing, involving fixation and embedding in paraffin.

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...

VPAC1 receptors play a dominant role in PACAP-induced vasorelaxation in female mice.
PLoS ONE, 2019 BACKGROUND:PACAP and VIP are closely related neuropeptides with wide distribution and potent effect in the vasculature. We previously reported vasomotor activity in peripheral vasculature of male wild type (WT) and PACAP-deficient (KO) mice.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundCarotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is an important source of ischemic stroke. However, the prevalence of high‐risk plaque (HRP) defined as plaques with luminal surface disruption, a lipid‐rich necrotic core occupying >40% of the wall, or ...

Segmentation of carotid vessel wall using U-Net and segmentation average network [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Segmentation of carotid vessel wall is required in vessel wall volume (VWV) and local vessel-wall-plus-plaque thickness (VWT) quantification of the carotid artery. Manual segmentation of the vessel wall is time-consuming and prone to interobserver variability. In this paper, we proposed a convolution neural network to segment the common carotid artery (

Adjusting for bias introduced by instrumental variable estimation in the Cox Proportional Hazards Model [PDF]
Biostatistics, 2017, 2017 Instrumental variable (IV) methods are widely used for estimating average treatment effects in the presence of unmeasured confounders. However, the capability of existing IV procedures, and most notably the two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) procedure recommended for use in nonlinear contexts, to account for unmeasured confounders in the Cox ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Lipid content in medium high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) particles, particularly cholesteryl esters, is identified as causally protective of atherosclerosis, and further ASCVD. Evidence from multi‐omics layers of data consistently supports PSRC1 with therapeutic potential for coronary artery disease (CAD), but not ischemic stroke.
