Regulation of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation [PDF]
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2015 AbstractThe immune reactions that regulate atherosclerotic plaque inflammation involve chemokines, lipid mediators and costimulatory molecules. Chemokines are a family of chemotactic cytokines that mediate immune cell recruitment and control cell homeostasis and activation of different immune cell types and subsets.

Angiogenesis in the atherosclerotic plaque
Redox Biology, 2017 Atherosclerosis is a multifocal alteration of the vascular wall of medium and large arteries characterized by a local accumulation of cholesterol and non-resolving inflammation. Atherothrombotic complications are the leading cause of disability and mortality in western countries.

Investigation of Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability
, 2022 Histochemical and immunohistochemical approaches permit the detection and evaluation of proteins and cell types within murine brachiocephalic artery atherosclerotic plaques, that can be subsequently analyzed to provide inferences on atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability.

MicroRNAs in the Atherosclerotic Plaque [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2013 BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNA, miR) are noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by hindering translation. miRNA expression profiles have been shown to differ in vivo and in vitro in many cellular processes associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Recent Trends in Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Characterization [PDF]
, 2021 Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Its underlying histopathology is the atherosclerotic plaque, which comprises lipid, fibrous and—when chronic—calcium components.

Atherosclerotic carotid plaque segmentation [PDF]
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005 Atherosclerosis is the major cause of heart attack and stroke in the western world. In this paper we present a computerized method for segmenting the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque from ultrasound images. The method uses the blood flow image first to detect the initial contour of the plaque, and then despeckle filtering and snakes to deform the ...

Effects of norepinephrine on plaque hypoxia in atherosclerotic rabbits
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 BackgroundHypoxia plays a vital role throughout the whole process of atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque formation, which may be induced by a reduced oxygen supply.

Research Progress on the Risk Factors and Outcomes of Human Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques
Chinese Medical Journal, 2017 Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process that results in complex lesions or plaques that protrude into the arterial lumen. Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture, with distal atheromatous debris embolization, causes cerebrovascular events ...
