Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Revealed CD14+ Monocytes Increased in Patients With Takayasu’s Arteritis Requiring Surgical Management

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Objectives: Takayasu Arteritis (TA) is a highly specific vascular inflammation and poses threat to patients’ health. Although some patients have accepted medical treatment, their culprit lesions require surgical management (TARSM).

Perioperative challenges and outcome after surgical correction of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture: A retrospective single center study

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia
Background: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but grave complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is a mechanical complication of myocardial infarction where patients may present either in a compensated state or in cardiogenic shock.

Severe Hepatic Insulin Resistance Induces Vascular Dysfunction: Improvement by Liver-Specific Insulin Receptor Isoform A Gene Therapy in a Murine Diabetic Model

Cells, 2021
Background: Cardiovascular dysfunction is linked to insulin-resistant states. In this paper, we analyzed whether the severe hepatic insulin resistance of an inducible liver-specific insulin receptor knockout (iLIRKO) might generate vascular insulin ...

Feedback induced phase transitions in active porous media [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 134501 (2015), 2014
Flow through passive porous media is typically described in terms of a linear theory relating current fluxes and driving forces, in the presence of a prescribed heterogeneous permeability. However, many porous systems such as glacial drainage networks, erosional river bed networks, vascular networks, social insect swarms and animal architectures such ...

Adhering to a Tai Chi Chuan Exercise Program Improves Vascular Resistance and Cardiac Function

International Journal of Gerontology, 2011
Background: Cardiac function is an important predictor for life expectancy in elderly subjects. Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) is a generalized tolerable exercise for the aged population. The current study evaluated the effects of TCC on the vascular compliance and

3D Printed Architectured Silicones with Autonomic Self-healing and Creep-resistant Behavior [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Self-healing silicones that are able to restore the functionalities and extend the lifetime of soft devices hold great potential in many applications. However, currently available silicones need to be triggered to self-heal or suffer from creep-induced irreversible deformation during use.

Scalable Simulation of Realistic Volume Fraction Red Blood Cell Flows through Vascular Networks [PDF]

, 2019
High-resolution blood flow simulations have potential for developing better understanding biophysical phenomena at the microscale, such as vasodilation, vasoconstriction and overall vascular resistance. To this end, we present a scalable platform for the simulation of red blood cell (RBC) flows through complex capillaries by modeling the physical ...
