Mechanisms of erosion of atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Lipidology, 2017
Purpose of review The present review explores the mechanisms of superficial intimal erosion, a common cause of thrombotic complications of atherosclerosis. Recent findings Human coronary artery atheroma that give rise to thrombosis because of erosion differ diametrically from those ...

Association between weight-adjusted waist index and carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes in the Chinese population

open access: yesDiabetology & Metabolic Syndrome
Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and the incidence of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the Chinese population.

Resolution of Occlusive Carotid Artery Thrombus Treated with Anticoagulation as Demonstrated on Duplex Ultrasonography. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While the majority of cerebral ischemic events due to carotid occlusive disease result from atherosclerotic plaque rupture, intraluminal carotid artery thrombus occasionally occurs in patients without preexisting carotid ...

Endothelial to mesenchymal transition is common in atherosclerotic lesions and is associated with plaque instability

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plays a major role during development, and also contributes to several adult cardiovascular diseases. Importantly, mesenchymal cells including fibroblasts are prominent in atherosclerosis, with key functions ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Stages of atherosclerotic plaque development and unstable plaque types: pathophysiologic and histologic characteristics

open access: yesРоссийский кардиологический журнал, 2013
This literature review focuses on the modern views on the problem of atherosclerotic plaque, its developmental stages (from the lipid steak to unstable atherosclerotic plaque), and various types of plaque instability (lipid, inflammatory, and ...

Oral Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors selectively block atherosclerotic plaque-triggered thrombus formation in humans.

open access: yesBlood, 2018
Interaction of von Willebrand factor (VWF) with platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) and interaction of collagen with GPVI are essential for thrombus formation on ruptured or eroded atherosclerotic plaques (atherothrombosis).

Activation of T Lymphocytes in Atherosclerotic Plaques [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2011
Objective— To decipher the immunologic mechanisms of plaque maturation and rupture, it is necessary to analyze the phenotypes and distribution of individual lymphocytes that migrate to the plaques, as well as their activation at different stages of plaque formation. Methods and Results—
