HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2023
Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the artery wall. High density lipoproteins (HDL) counterbalance the effects of LDL by accepting cholesterol from macrophages and removing it from the plaque. In

Carotid Plaque Rupture Is Accompanied by an Increase in the Ratio of Serum circR-284 to miR-221 Levels

Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics, 2017
Background— Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is accompanied by an acute decrease in the carotid plaque expression of micro-RNAs (miRs)-221 and miR-222. Circular RNA (circR)-284 is a potential inhibitor of miR-221/miR-222 activity.

Ocular manifestations of psoriasis: An inflammatory disease beyond the skin

Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 45-49, January 2023., 2023
Psoriasis can lead to meibomian gland dysfunction, especially in patients with long‐lasting disease. Hence, dermatologists and general practitioners should be vigilant in this regard when visiting psoriasis patients, especially those who have higher PASI values or long‐lasting disease.

Is cadmium exposure associated with the burden, vulnerability and rupture of human atherosclerotic plaques? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The general population is exposed to cadmium from food and smoking. Cadmium is a widely spread toxic pollutant that seems to be associated with cardiovascular diseases, although little is known if it contributes to the occurrence of atherosclerotic ...

Management and Outcome of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Caused by Plaque Rupture Versus Plaque Erosion: An Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background Plaque rupture and erosion are the 2 most common mechanisms for acute coronary syndromes. However, the outcome of these 2 distinct pathologies in patients with acute coronary syndromes has never been studied.

Update of the CLRP eye plaque brachytherapy database for photon-emitting sources [PDF]

, 2021
Purpose: To update and extend the Carleton Laboratory for Radiotherapy Physics (CLRP) Eye Plaque (EP) dosimetry database for low-energy photon-emitting brachytherapy sources using egs_brachy, an open-source EGSnrc application. The previous database, CLRP_EPv1, contained datasets for the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) plaques (2008). The new

Myocardial Bridge and Acute Plaque Rupture [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2016
A myocardial bridge (MB) is a common anatomic variant, most frequently located in the left anterior descending coronary artery, where a portion of the coronary artery is covered by myocardium. Importantly, MBs are known to result in a proximal atherosclerotic lesion.

Prevalence and predictors of culprit plaque rupture at OCT in patients with coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis.

European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging, 2016
AIMS The prevalence of plaque rupture at the culprit lesion identified by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in different clinical subset of patients undergoing coronary angiography and its clinical predictors remain to be defined.

Silencing of UCA1 attenuates the ox‐LDL‐induced injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells via miR‐873‐5p/MAPK8 axis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 6-15, January 2023., 2023
Abstract LncRNA UCA1 plays a vital role in cardiovascular diseases. Endothelial cell dysfunction is a prerequisite for atherosclerosis (AS) development. However, the pathophysiological role of UCA1 in endothelial cell dysfunction induced by ox‐LDL remains obscure.
