Outflow boundary conditions for 3D simulations of non-periodic blood flow and pressure fields in deformable arteries [PDF]

, 2010
The simulation of blood flow and pressure in arteries requires outflow boundary conditions that incorporate models of downstream domains. We previously described a coupled multidomain method to couple analytical models of the downstream domains with 3D ...

DNase I‐Mediated Chemotactic Nanoparticles for NETs Targeting and Microenvironment Remodeling Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in reperfusion injury in ischemic stroke. Here, considering the unique vascular localization of NETs, a DNase I‐mediated NETs‐targeting nanoparticle is developed to integrate the catalytic and chemotactic functions of DNase I and achieve the synergistic regulation of the internal and ...

Neutrophil Mobilization Triggers Microglial Functional Change to Exacerbate Cerebral Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
These study underscores the pivotal role of neutrophil‐derived myeloid‐related protein 14 (MRP14) in the pathophysiology of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). MRP14 not only disrupts mitochondrial function, thereby inhibiting microglial phagocytosis of neutrophils, but also activates microglial pyroptosis, exacerbating neuroinflammation following AIS ...

Sprint interval and sprint continuous training increases circulating CD34+ cells and cardio-respiratory fitness in young healthy women [PDF]

, 2014
The improvement of vascular health in the exercising limb can be attained by sprint interval training (SIT). However, the effects on systemic vascular function and on circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) which may contribute to endothelial repair have ...

Manual and automated media and intima thickness measurements of the common carotid artery

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 2009
The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Regulation of Neuroinflammation by Microglial DUBA‐IRAK1‐IKKβ Signaling Loop

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The protein levels of deubiquitinating enzyme A (DUBA) are rapidly upregulated in microglia after activation of Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4). In turn, DUBA potentiates TLR4‐induced proinflammatory signal transduction in microglia by stabilizing interleukin‐1 receptor activated kinase 1 (IRAK1) through K48 deubiquitination.

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Play an Analgesic Role Through a Npy2r Sensory Neuron‐Mediated Lung‐to‐Brain Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are considered a promising alternative for neuropathic pain (NP) treatment, but underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Huang et al. illustrate that a Npy2r sensory neuron‐related lung–brain axis contributes to MSC analgesia.

Molecular Creep Induced Fatigue Rupture of Fibrin Clots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibrin networks in thrombi paradoxically exhibit low fatigue resistance despite high fracture energy, as cyclic loading triggers irreversible α‐to‐β transitions in fibrin molecules, causing molecular creep, crack propagation. Multiscale experiments, modeling reveal how nanoscale conformational damage accumulates, linking molecular disorder to ...

Natriuretic peptide receptor-C is up-regulated in the intima of advanced carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE: Natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C/NPR-3) is a cell surface protein involved in vascular remodelling that is up-regulated in atherosclerosis. NPR-C expression has not been well characterized in human carotid artery occlusive lesions.
