Reciprocal regulation of NRF2 by autophagy and ubiquitin–proteasome modulates vascular endothelial injury induced by copper oxide nanoparticles

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Highlights 1. CuONPs exposure activates NRF2 signaling in vascular endothelial cells and mouse thoracic aorta. 2. KEAP1 is dispensable for NRF2 activation in CuONPs-treated vascular endothelial cells. 3.

Biomechanical and biochemical properties of the thoracic aorta in warmblood horses, Friesian horses, and Friesians with aortic rupture [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Thoracic aortic rupture and aortopulmonary fistulation are rare conditions in horses. It mainly affects Friesian horses. Intrinsic differences in biomechanical properties of the aortic wall might predispose this breed.

Thoracic aorta cardiac-cycle related dynamic changes assessed with a 256-slice CT scanner [PDF]

, 2013
Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate whether the dynamic changes previously documented at the ascending and abdominal aorta are replicated at the thoracic aorta.

Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]

, 2012
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...

Single-Stage Open Repair of Extensive Arch and Descending Thoracic Aneurysm through Sternotomy: A Case Report

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2021
Extensive thoracic aortic disease involving the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the descending thoracic aorta may require multiple surgical and interventional managements, which impose a burden in terms of cumulative surgical trauma and the risk ...

Association between institutional case volume and mortality following thoracic aorta replacement: a nationwide Korean cohort study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background The inverse relationship between case volume and postoperative mortality following high-risk surgical procedures have been reported. Thoracic aorta surgery is associated with one of the highest postoperative mortality. The relationship between

Computational fluid dynamicaccuracy in mimicking changes in blood hemodynamics in patients with acute type IIIb aortic dissection treated with TEVAR [PDF]

, 2018
Background: We aimed to verify the accuracy of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) algorithm for blood flow reconstruction for type IIIb aortic dissection (TBAD) before and after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

Different anti-contractile function and nitric oxide production of thoracic and abdominal perivascular adipose tissues

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Divergent phenotypes between the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) surrounding the abdominal and the thoracic aorta might be implicated in regional aortic differences, such as susceptibility to atherosclerosis.

Ultrosound assessment of the thoracic and abdominal aorta in civil aviation pilots of senior age group

Атеротромбоз, 2020
Introduction. Early detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in different arterial vessels, including the main vessel aorta, is important for clinical practice and aeromedical assessment, especially in senior age people.
