Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Uncertainty-based quality assurance of carotid artery wall segmentation in black-blood MRI [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The application of deep learning models to large-scale data sets requires means for automatic quality assurance. We have previously developed a fully automatic algorithm for carotid artery wall segmentation in black-blood MRI that we aim to apply to large-scale data sets.

Electrophysiological Studies of the Smooth Muscle Cell Membrane of the Rabbit Common Carotid Artery

The Journal of General Physiology, 1971
The electrical responses of the smooth muscle cells of the rabbit common carotid artery to extracellular stimulation were studied in isotonic and hypertonic solution (1.7 times normal tonicity) with microelectrodes.

Lecithin Alleviates Memory Deficits and Muscle Attenuation in Chinese Older Adults and SAMP8 Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study opens a new avenue for safeguarding cognition and muscle health, averting disability in older age, and treating age‐related pathologies through lecithin supplementation. It serves as a promising nonpharmacological intervention for the crosstalk of muscle and cognition.

Probing blood pressure and arterial stiffness noninvasively by guided axial waves [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The clinical and economic burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) poses a global challenge. Growing evidence suggests an early assessment of arterial stiffness can provide insights into the pathogenesis of CVDs. However, it remains difficult to quantitatively characterize the arterial stiffness in vivo.

Visualizing Carotid Blood Flow Simulations for Stroke Prevention [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
In this work, we investigate how concepts from medical flow visualization can be applied to enhance stroke prevention diagnostics. Our focus lies on carotid stenoses, i.e., local narrowings of the major brain-supplying arteries, which are a frequent cause of stroke.

Polyvascular Subclinical Atherosclerosis: Correlation Between Ankle Brachial Index and Carotid Atherosclerosis in a Population-Based Sample [PDF]

We assessed the correlation between the biomarkers of lower limb atherosclerosis (eg, ankle-brachial index [ABI]) and of carotid atherosclerosis (eg, common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and presence of atherosclerotic plaque) in a population ...

Muscle‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Exercise‐Induced Cognitive Protection in Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
sEVs have a critical role in orchestrating interorgan crosstalk and mediating exercise‐induced therapeutic effects. Lin et al. demonstrates that sEVs miR‐17/20a‐5p mediates the muscle‐brain crosstalk and emphasizes the central role of mTOR signaling in executing molecular programs that can protect brain health in response to exercise.
