The Impact of Vein Mechanical Compliance on Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes [PDF]
, 2016 © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Background Arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) are the preferred access for hemodialysis but suffer a high early failure rate. The aim of this study was to determine how venous distensibility, as measured in vitro, relates to early ...

Elastin genetic point mutation and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse
Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020 Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors ...

Protein-based materials, toward a new level of structural control [PDF]
, 2001 Through billions of years of evolution nature has created and refined structural proteins for a wide variety of specific purposes. Amino acid sequences and their associated folding patterns combine to create elastic, rigid or tough materials.

Nature, 1953 IN previous publications1,2, we reported that extracts of animal pancreas made with fluids of different pH exhibit varying elastolytic activity (e.u./gm.) on account of the presence of elastase inhibitor, which in the pancreas is bound to elastase3. In crude neutral solution, the activation of elastase may be carried out by acidification, dialysis or ...

Changes in the physical structure and chain dynamics of elastin network in homocysteine-cultured arteries [PDF]
, 2009 The thermal and dielectric properties of the elastin network were investigated in arteries cultured with physiological and pathological concentrations of homocysteine, an aminoacid responsible of histological impairments in human arteries.

TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β) blockade induces a human-like disease in a nondissecting mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]
, 2017 Objective-Current experimental models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) do not accurately reproduce the major features of human AAA. We hypothesized that blockade of TGF beta (transforming growth factor-beta) activity-a guardian of vascular integrity ...
