Like all arteries in the body, there are veins that accompany them to drain the tissue of deoxygenated blood. Similarly, the veins of the heart often travel alongside the arterial vessels, carrying blood back to the heart. There are numerous venous tributaries traversing the surface of the heart...
A variation on the theme, the clinical syndrome labeled cholesterol embolization, with small atherosclerotic particles obstructing small arteries, is a rare complication of severe aortic atherosclerosis. Clinical signs include mottled skin and "purple toes" in the lower extremities together with renal insu...
Research performed by our group13,14 and others15,16 suggest that the mineral particles may represent precursors of mineral deposition in the body. Yet, more studies are needed to determine the characteristics, distribution and effects of these particles in the human body. Previous studies have ...
Pairing the SV/atria portion of transgenic hearts with wild-type (WT) ven- tricle gave rise to labeled coronary ECs on the ventricle surface only in the presence of tamoxifen. As a control, the above pairing did not lead to labeled coronary ECs if tamoxifen was not added (Figure 4A). ...
in which Steer’s guttural growls punctuated Walker’s venomous rasp — with audaciously brainy arrangements and tongue-twisting, pun-filled words. One track, about putting back together a dismembered body for purposes of identification, labeled that task as a“Corporal Jigsore Quandary.”Heartworkand...
The receptor involved in the vasodilation of mesenteric arteries of rodents was described earlier than GPR18 and labeled “endothelial cannabinoid receptor” [27]. Some authors suggested that the latter receptor, which is not defined in terms of molecular biology, may be GPR18 [12]. There are...

As inflammation detection has become the major concept in atherosclerosis PET/CT imaging, a more sensitive tracer is still to be found. [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N N′,N″,N′″- tetraacetic acid]-d-Phe1,Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) labeled with a generator-derived positron-emitting ...
There was no significant difference of BrdU-labeled positive cells in media area between the two groups (5.3 ± 0.7% versus 5.6 ± 0.8%, P > 0.05). Using TUNEL staining, we could not detect any significant change in the rate of apoptotic cells in injured carotid arteries between the two ...
