The galectin-3/RAGE dyad modulates vascular osteogenesis in atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2013
Vascular calcification correlates with inflammation and plaque instability in a dual manner, depending on the spotty/granular (micro) or sheet-like/lamellated (macro) pattern of calcification.

Treatment of vascular calcification [PDF]

Kidney International, 2008
A variety of potential therapies for vascular calcification, based either on the underlying biology or physical chemistry or solely on empiric observations in patients, may be effective but lack rigorous testing. Pasch et al. provide convincing evidence that sodium thiosulfate prevents medial vascular calcification in uremic rats.

Role of Glycosylation in Vascular Calcification [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Glycosylation is an important step in post-translational protein modification. Altered glycosylation results in an abnormality that causes diseases such as malignancy and cardiovascular diseases. Recent emerging evidence highlights the importance of glycosylation in vascular calcification.

Molecular mechanisms and effects of urocortin II on rat adventitial fibroblast calcification induced by calcified medium

Vascular Biology, 2022
The present study aimed to assess the role of urocortin II (UII) in the process of vascular calcification in vitro by using a calcification model, to detect the changes in the mRNA and protein levels of associated markers in rat adventitial fibroblasts ...

Antihypertensive treatment with hydrochlorothiazide-hydralazine combination aggravates medial vascular calcification in CKD rats with mineral bone disorder

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundArterial stiffness and medial vascular calcification, leading to isolated systolic blood pressure (BP), are major cardiovascular risk factors in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mineral bone disorders (MBD).

Reactive Oxygen-Forming Nox5 Links Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching and Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Vascular Calcification

Circulation Research, 2020
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: Vascular calcification, the formation of calcium phosphate crystals in the vessel wall, is mediated by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

The role of mitochondria in vascular calcification [PDF]

Journal of Translational Internal Medicine, 2020
Abstract Vascular calcification (VC) was defined as the ectopic deposition of calcium–phosphorus complexes on the blood vessel walls. It was a process involving multiple factors and mechanisms, covering the phenotype transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and release of microvesicles.

Resolution of Occlusive Carotid Artery Thrombus Treated with Anticoagulation as Demonstrated on Duplex Ultrasonography. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While the majority of cerebral ischemic events due to carotid occlusive disease result from atherosclerotic plaque rupture, intraluminal carotid artery thrombus occasionally occurs in patients without preexisting carotid ...
