Synthetic Gel of Carotid Artery Plaque [PDF]

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2007
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease that affects medium and large arteries, leading to the formation and progression of plaque. In this process the proteins play an essential role and as a consequence, proteomic-based strategies examining the protein content of cells or tissues could offer a useful approach for the study of plaque proteins.

Cordycepin mediates neuroprotection against apoptosis via ERK/CREB signaling activation in Aβ1–42‐induced neuronal cell models

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 84-97, Spring 2025.
This study demonstrates cordycepin's neuroprotective effects against Aβ1–42‐induced apoptosis in neuronal cells, mediated through the activation of the extracellular signal‐regulated kinase/cyclic AMP‐responsive element‐binding protein (ERK/CREB) signaling pathway.

Atherosclerotic plaque in carotid arteries in systemic lupus erythematosus: frequency and associated risk factors

São Paulo Medical Journal
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerotic disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. No previous study has estimated carotid disease prevalence in such patients in Brazil. The aim was to evaluate

Association between carotid plaque characteristics and acute cerebral infarction determined by MRI in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2017
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) might aggravate the carotid plaque vulnerability, and increase the risk for ischemic stroke. Few studies reported the acute stroke subtype with carotid plaque characteristics in T2DM patients.

Ultrasonographic Measure of Carotid Plaque Burden [PDF]

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2013
In their excellent paper, Sillesen et al. ([1][1]) omitted mention of the original work on measurement of carotid plaque burden. Spence et al. ([2][2]) first measured carotid total plaque area (TPA) in 1990, and developed it for patient management and genetic research, and 3-dimensional methods ...

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Carotid plaque morphology: A review

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 1995
The recent North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial has answered fairly conclusively the questions concerning the optimal management of patients with symptoms who have a > 70% stenosis of the internal carotid artery. It has also had the effect of refocusing attention on carotid pathology. The main question still to be answered is whether

Computer-assisted carotid plaque characterisation

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 1995
To determine the relationship between plaque echogenicity as measured by computer and the incidence of cerebral brain infarction.Eighty-seven patients with 148 plaques producing more than 50% internal carotid artery stenosis were studied. Sixty-nine plaques were in asymptomatic patients, 35 were associated with amaurosis fugax, 19 with transient ...
