Vascular Calcification in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Types, Clinical Impact and Pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2013
Vascular calcification plays a major role in cardiovascular disease, which is one of the main causes of mortality in chronic kidney disease patients. Vascular calcification is determined by prevalent traditional and uraemia-related (non-traditional) risk

Extensive vascular calcification

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research (KLEU), 2015
Calciphylaxis denotes the presence of cutaneous gangrene secondary to the ischemic necrosis caused by vascular calcification. This is seen in patients with end stage renal disease, especially those using the renal replacement therapy. We recently encountered an elderly patient with long standing type 2 diabetes who presented with diabetic foot disease.

Vascular wall microenvironment: Endothelial cells original exosomes mediated melatonin-suppressed vascular calcification and vascular ageing in a m6A methylation dependent manner

Bioactive Materials
Vascular calcification and vascular ageing are “silent” diseases but are highly prevalent in patients with end stage renal failure and type 2 diabetes, as well as in the ageing population. Melatonin (MT) has been shown to induce cardiovascular protection

Advances in imaging chest tuberculosis: blurring of differences between children and adults [PDF]

, 2009
This article reviews the ongoing role of imaging in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and its complications. A modern imaging classification of TB, taking into account both adults and children and the blurring of differences in the presentation patterns,

Proinflammatory Vascular Calcification [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2005
See related article, pages 1248–1256 Vascular calcification occurs as part of atherosclerosis. It is caused by the deposition of basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals in what appears to be a highly regulated process resembling bone formation.1–4 Vascular calcification occurs in several forms,1–4 including small crystal deposits in the neointima ...

Significant Association Between Bone-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase and Vascular Calcification of the Hand Arteries in Male Hemodialysis Patients

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2014
Background/Aims: Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) hydrolyzes pyrophosphate, which inhibits vascular calcification. We examined association between serum BAP and vascular calcification of male hemodialysis patients.

Genetic heterogeneity of pseudoxanthoma elasticum: the Chinese signature profile of ABCC6 and ENPP1 mutations. [PDF]

, 2015
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by ectopic mineralization, is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene. We examined clinically 29 Chinese PXE patients from unrelated families, so far the largest cohort of Asian ...

Vascular calcification: the role of microRNAs

Biomolecular Concepts, 2017
Vascular calcification represents the deposition of calcium phosphate salts in the tunica media of the vascular wall. It occurs during aging but is accelerated and pronounced in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ...

CDKN2A/p16INK4a expression is associated with vascular progeria in chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2017
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) display a progeric vascular phenotype linked to apoptosis, cellular senescence and osteogenic transformation. This has proven intractable to modelling appropriately in model organisms.
