Stabilization of high-risk plaques [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, 2016
The prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs) is increasing globally and they have become the leading cause of death in most countries. Numerous experimental and clinical studies have been conducted to identify major risk factors and effective control strategies for ASCVDs.

Chronic Stress A Potential Suspect Zero of Atherosclerosis: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease, in which the lipid accumulation in the intima of the arteries shows yellow atheromatous appearance, which is the pathological basis of many diseases, such as coronary artery disease ...

miR-150-5p affects AS plaque with ASMC proliferation and migration by STAT1

open access: yesOpen Medicine, 2021
We explore miR‐150‐5p in atherosclerosis (AS). The AS model was constructed using Apo E−/− mice with an injection of the miR-150-5p mimic or an inhibitor.

A New Paradigm for Plaque Stabilization [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2002
Abstract: The concept of plaque stabilization was developed to explain how lipid lowering could decrease adverse coronary events without a substantial reduction in the regression of atherosclerosis.

Individuality, Stability, and Variability of the Plaque Microbiome [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Dental plaque is a bacterial biofilm composed of a characteristic set of organisms. Relatively little information from cultivation-independent, high-throughput analyses has been published on the temporal dynamics of the dental plaque microbiome. We used Minimum Entropy Decomposition, an information theory-based approach similar to oligotyping that ...

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture – pathologic basis of plaque stability and instability [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 1999
Time for primary reveiw 27 days Atherosclerosis continues to be one of the main subjects in pathology research. The intriguing complexity of its pathogenesis as well as the importance of its clinical sequelae provide a rationale for this [1]. A large number of diseases with totally different clinical presentations are basically atherosclerosis ...

Clinical Utility of the Serum Level of Lipoprotein-Related Phospholipase A2 in Acute Ischemic Stroke With Cerebral Artery Stenosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
We aimed to study the clinical utility of serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with cerebral artery stenosis (CAS). We included 200 AIS patients and 90 healthy controls in this study.

Plaque stability and plaque regression: new insights [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal Supplements, 2006
Patients with prior cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes are at the highest risk of a myocardial infarction or stroke. Thus, the majority of morbid cardiovascular events arise in the large population of patients with qualifying risk factors, according to standard risk factor scoring techniques.

Flow Cytometry-Based Characterization of Mast Cells in Human Atherosclerosis

open access: yesCells, 2019
The presence of mast cells in human atherosclerotic plaques has been associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Mast cell activation, through the classical antigen sensitized-IgE binding to their characteristic Fcε-receptor, causes the release ...
