Nestinþ cells direct inflammatory cell migration in atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2016
Atherosclerosis is a leading death cause. Endothelial and smooth muscle cells participate in atherogenesis, but it is unclear whether other mesenchymal cells contribute to this process. Bone marrow (BM) nestinþ cells cooperate with endothelial cells in

Extracellular Vesicles in Calcium Oxalate Nephrolithiasis: Emerging Biomarkers and Therapeutic Potential

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Kidney stones cause significant pain and healthcare costs. Current prediction, diagnosis, and treatment options are limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), rich in proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, offer a promising solution. This review explores the roles of EVs in kidney stone management, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic ...

Design and Development of rGO and Polymer‐Based Patches for Cardiac Tissue Engineering

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myocardial infarction (MI), caused by coronary artery blockage, is a leading cause of death worldwide and results in permanent heart damage. Current treatments have limited success in fully restoring cardiac function, leading to increased interest in tissue engineering solutions.

Reflection spectroscopy of atherosclerotic plaque

Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2006
Heart disease is the primary cause of death in the western world. Many of these deaths are caused by the rupture of vulnerable plaque. Vulnerable plaques are characterized by a large lipid core covered by a thin fibrous cap. One method for detecting these plaques is reflection spectroscopy.

The Predictive Value of Quantitative Flow Ratio and Its Derived Angiographic Microvascular Resistance for Restenosis Following Drug‐Coated Balloon Angioplasty

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Initially, drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty was primarily employed for in‐stent restenosis (ISR) treatment. Over time, its indications have broadened to include de novo small‐vessel lesions and bifurcation lesions. However, there is a lack of effective strategies to reduce restenosis rates post‐DCB angioplasty.

Novel Non‐Hyperemic Coronary Physiology Indices for Vessel Longitudinal Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Physiological pattern of coronary artery disease, whether focal or diffuse, is critical in guiding physicians during the decision‐making process for percutaneous coronary interventions. Aims This study introduces two novel non‐hyperemic coronary physiology indices designed for longitudinal vessel analysis.

Honeycomb or Lotus Root‐Like Intracoronary Pattern: Insights From Optical Coherence Tomography of a Recanalized Thrombus

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spontaneous recanalized coronary thrombus (SRCT) has been identified in autopsy studies as multiple interconnected channels separated by thin septa. Despite its potential clinical significance, SRCT remains underdiagnosed. Recent advances in intracoronary imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), have elucidated its ...

HDL‐C/LDL‐C Ratio and All‐Cause Mortality in Populations at High CVD Risk: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The ratio of high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) to low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) endpoints, yet its prognostic validity in high‐risk populations and for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)‐related adverse events remains unestablished. Methods This study included 32,609 people
