Strategies to achieve coronary arterial plaque stabilization [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 1999 Acute coronary syndromes result from fissure, erosion or rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. The characteristics of a vulnerable plaque include a large lipid pool, an abundance of inflammatory cells and mediators, a reduced smooth muscle cell and collagen content and a thin overlying fibrous cap.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents the development of Fe‐Mn‐Zn nanocrystalline alloys (0–9 wt% Zn) by mechanical alloying and subsequently hot pressing. Their microstructure, density, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion behavior, and antibacterial properties are systematically examined.

Carotid plaque age is a feature of plaque stability inversely related to levels of plasma insulin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: The stability of atherosclerotic plaques determines the risk for rupture, which may lead to thrombus formation and potentially severe clinical complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Clinical significance of macrophage phenotypes in cardiovascular disease
Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2014 The emerging understanding of macrophage subsets and their functions in the atherosclerotic plaque has led to the consensus that M1 macrophages are pro‐atherogenic while M2 macrophages may promote plaque stability, primarily though their tissue repair ...

Bifurcation analysis of a free boundary model of plaque formation associated with the cholesterol ratio [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol ratio has been shown a high correlation with the cardiovascular risk assessment. Is it possible to quantify the correlation mathematically? In this paper, we develop a bifurcation analysis for a mathematical model of the plaque formation with a free boundary in the early stage

Parallel Network with Channel Attention and Post-Processing for Carotid Arteries Vulnerable Plaque Segmentation in Ultrasound Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Carotid arteries vulnerable plaques are a crucial factor in the screening of atherosclerosis by ultrasound technique. However, the plaques are contaminated by various noises such as artifact, speckle noise, and manual segmentation may be time-consuming.
