Plaque Vulnerability Index Predicts Cardiovascular Events: A Histological Study of an Endarterectomy Cohort

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The balance between stabilizing and destabilizing atherosclerotic plaque components is used in experimental studies and in imaging studies to identify rupture prone plaques.

Self‐Assembly of Antigenic Peptide Nanofibrils Templates the Growth of Silica Nanoparticles for Nanovaccines

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Antigenic peptides Aβ42 and E7 self‐assemble into nanofibrils; APTES and TEOS induce SiO2 NP formation on these fibrils to form SiO2@fibril nanovaccines, which activate BMDCs in vitro. In vivo, SiO2@Aβ42 fibril nanovaccines alleviate AD symptoms and clear Aβ42 plaques in APP/PS1 mice, and SiO2@E7 fibril nanovaccines inhibit tumor growth and promote ...

New insights into fibrous cap thickness of vulnerable plaques assessed by optical coherence tomography

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Objective Vulnerable plaques with fibrous cap thickness (FCT) of ≤65 μm are prone to rupture and/or thrombosis. However, plaques with FCT > 65 μm cause acute myocardial infarction and even sudden death. We aimed to investigate the relationship between 65

Effect of calcification on the mechanical stability of plaque based on a three-dimensional carotid bifurcation model

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background This study characterizes the distribution and components of plaque structure by presenting a three-dimensional blood-vessel modelling with the aim of determining mechanical properties due to the effect of lipid core and calcification within a ...

Association between apolipoprotein B/A1 ratio and coronary plaque vulnerability in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: an intravascular optical coherence tomography study

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
Background Apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 and Apo B are strongly associated with the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the relationship between the Apo B/A1 ratio and the morphology of coronary vulnerable plaques has not been ...

EndoTac: An Endoscopic Camera‐Based Tactile Sensor with High Sensitivity for Minimally Invasive Surgery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
EndoTac presents a trocar‐compatible endoscopic vision‐based tactile sensor that uses a convex mirror to enlarge side‐facing tactile coverage during minimally invasive vessel palpation. Distorted tactile images are unwarped and processed by a learning model to estimate vascular deformation, enabling sensitive, spatially distributed tactile perception ...

MRI of Atherothrombosis Associated With Plaque Rupture [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2005
Objective— MRI would be a valuable noninvasive diagnostic tool to study plaque-associated thrombi. We defined the imaging characteristics of these thrombi, composed primarily of platelets and fibrin, and distinguished them clearly from the vessel lumen and underlying atherosclerotic plaque in an ...

Targeting Hippocampal PTEN Suppresses Ferroptosis and Rescues Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease via Dual AKT/GSK3β/Nrf2 and AKT/STAT3 Axes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
PTEN knockdown activates AKT phosphorylation, promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation and STAT3 activation, which upregulates GPX4 and antioxidant enzymes HO‐1, SOD1, SOD2, and NQO1. These coordinated changes reduce lipid peroxidation and ROS, inhibit ferroptosis, and ultimately ameliorate cognitive impairment in APP/PS1 transgenic mice, highlighting a ...
