Alterations of Hyaluronan Metabolism in Acute Coronary Syndrome: Implications for Plaque Erosion [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Superficial erosion currently causes at least one-third of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), and its incidence is increasing. Yet, the underlying mechanisms in humans are still largely unknown.

Predictors and morphological properties of culprit healed plaques in patients with angina pectoris
Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1199-1210, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Plaque healing may serve a vital function in the natural progression of atherosclerotic disease. This study sought to investigate predictors and morphological characteristics of healed plaque (HP) among angina pectoris (AP) patients.

Improving segmentation of calcified and non-calcified plaques on CCTA-CPR scans via masking of the artery wall [PDF]
SPIE 12465, Medical Imaging 2023: Computer-Aided Diagnosis, 2022 The presence of plaques in the coronary arteries is a major risk to the patients' life. In particular, non-calcified plaques pose a great challenge, as they are harder to detect and more likely to rupture than calcified plaques. While current deep learning techniques allow precise segmentation of real-life images, the performance in medical images is ...

Analysis of atherosclerotic plaque distribution in the carotid artery
Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1272-1276, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that the outer wall at the carotid bifurcation is the most common area of atherosclerotic plaque deposition due to the low shear stress. Hypothesis We hypothesized that the most common site of arteriosclerosis in carotid arteries is different in the early and late stages ...

The Applications of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Atherosclerotic Disease
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Atherosclerosis still is the primary cause of death worldwide. Our characterization of the atherosclerotic lesion is mainly rooted in definitions based on pathological descriptions.

Observational study of circulating endothelial cell profiles in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction stratified by plaque erosion or rupture identified by optical coherence tomography: The Plaque Erosion Pilot Study ii (PEPSii) [PDF]
, 2023 Introduction Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading global cause of death and disability. There is growing evidence that about 40% of MI cases have plaque erosion due to mass endothelial cell apoptosis and exposure of pro-thrombotic underlying ...

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1533-1539, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background The main purpose of this experimental study was to determine the in vitro effects of two calcium phosphate‐containing agents (Remin Pro® and GC Tooth mousse™) on the enamel resistance of permanent molars to demineralization. Methods Fifty extracted human third molars were randomly divided into four groups; that is the control group ...

Quasi-static responses of marine mussel plaques attached to deformable wet substrates under directional tensions [PDF]
, 2023 Quantifying the response of marine mussel plaque attachment on wet surfaces remains a significant challenge to a mechanistic understanding of plaque adhesion. Here, we developed a customised microscopy system combined with two-dimensional (2D) in-situ digital image correlation (DIC) to quantify the in-plane deformation of a deformable substrate that ...
