Vascular Targeted Agents for the Treatment of Angiosarcoma [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Angiogenesis is the process of new blood vessel formation, and is regulated by angiogenic growth factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Angiosarcomas are rare, aggressive vascular tumours.

The anti-atherogenic effects of thiazolidinediones [PDF]
, 2007 The thiazolidinediones (TZDs) rosiglitazone (ROS) and pioglitazone (PIO) are insulin-sensitising agents widely used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thiazolidinediones significantly improve glycaemic control in diabetics by reduced

Highly effective non-viral gene transfer into vascular smooth muscle cells of cultured resistance arteries demonstrated by genetic inhibition of sphingosine-1-phosphate-induced vasoconstriction [PDF]
, 2003 The linkage of vascular genes to specific functions will lead to a better understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology. We developed an experimental model that enables the introduction of one or multiple gene(s) into vascular smooth muscle cells ...

Effects of Tissue Component Volumes on Vascular Resistance in Free Flaps [PDF]
, 2017 Background:A successful free flap transfer is achieved, in part, by having a thorough understanding of vascular anatomy and blood flow dynamics. We previously reported that vascular resistance differs by type of free flap. To test the hypothesis that the

Hypothesis: ‘Vasocrine’ signalling from perivascular fat - a mechanism linking insulin resistance and vascular disease [PDF]
, 2005 Adipose tissue expresses cytokines which inhibit insulin signalling pathways in liver and muscle. Obesity also results in impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation to insulin. We propose a vasoregulatory role for local deposits of fat around the

Brain Tumor Vascular Network Segmentation from Micro-Tomography [PDF]
, 2011 Micro-tomography produces high resolution images of bio- logical structures such as vascular networks. In this paper, we present a new approach for segmenting vascular network into pathological and normal regions from considering their micro-vessel 3D ...

Comparison of Carotid Artery Intima-media Thickness and Resistive Index by Ultrasound and Colour Doppler in Pre-hypertensives and Stage One Hypertensives [PDF]
International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2019 Introduction: Pre-hypertension and stage one hypertension remains major public health problem in both developed and developing countries. It primarily affects elastic arteries, hence common carotid artery Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) and Resistive ...

Changes in Vascularization of Human Breast Cancer Xenografts Responding to Antiestrogen Therapy
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 1999 To elucidate the previously suggested vascular effect(s) of antiestrogen therapy, we studied the effect of estrogen withdrawal and tamoxifen on 1) vascular resistance, 2) glucose and oxygen consumption, 3) vascular density in a perfused breast cancer ...
