It is thought that multi-factors may relate to the occurence and exaggeration of arterial sclerosis in diabetes mellitus. We pointed out the calcification of peripheral arteries in the legs on X-ray photographs as a sign of arteriosclerosis, and studied its prevalence in diabetics and nondiabetics...
Introduction Although arteries of the leg have been studied in extensively diseased amputation specimens, little is known about the composition of vascular lesions present in the general population. The aim of this study was to describe the natural development of adaptive intimal thickening, ...
Can vitamin D cause calcification of arteries? In experimental animals, the administration of pharmacological doses of vitamin D sterols can lead to widespread arterial calcification, especially in association with favourable conditions such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) [ ...
1I). Taken together, these findings suggest that BRCC36 levels decrease during CKD-induced VC, indicating a potential role of BRCC36 in the regulation of this process. BRCC36 alleviates vascular calcification in mice Because of the decreased BRCC36 expression in calcified radial arteries and ...
Similarly, perlecan, a secreted heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycan, was significantly reduced in CAS- compared to CUS secretome (Fig.5b, Supplementary Fig.1cand Supplementary Data2). This proteoglycan was shown to be reduced in calcified arteries81and to be involved in the formation/assembly of ...

A group from Taiwan demonstrated that CPB are indistinguishable when extracted from biological fluids10,11,12. However, CPB were also identified in calcified human tissues18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28, particularly arteries and heart valves21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28, but so far there ...
The described devices may be used with blood arteries, veins, hearts, heart valves, pacemakers, and all blood contact devices such as left ventricle assist devices. Also, typically, the device further includes an associated resonant calibration switch for triggering the device to scan a blood conta...
INCREASED SERUM OSTEOPROTEGERIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH POORLY COMPRESSIBLE LEG ARTERIES DUE TO MEDIAL ARTERIAL CALCIFICATIONIncreased arterial stiffness has been associated with greater risk of cardiovascular events. We investigated whether aortic augmentation index (AIx), a measure of arterial stiffness and...
However, quantitative evaluation of calcium burden in specific arteries of the leg in PAD patients is uncommon in the clinical setting, and the association between quantified levels of vessel-specific calcium burden and functional capacity in PAD remains understudied. We hypothesized that x-ray ...
