At present, the most recognized mechanism is that SUA induces inflammation of vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, as well as oxidative stress within cells, leading to endothelial dysfunction [13]. This long-term functional impairment may be an important reason for the occurrence of ...

investigated the results of bare-metal and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered Optimus stents in congenital heart disease (CHD) interventions. Optimus is a balloon-expandable, hybrid cell-designed, cobalt–chromium vascular stent. They evaluated 170 patients with CHD consisting of right ventricular ...
Therefore, to improve health-related quality of life, surgeons should work closely with the dialysis care team, including the nephrologist and vascular surgeon. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a well-known complication of HD that is caused by amyloid deposition [24]. In our study, carpal tunnel ...
Immaturity and infection, which both feature low sys- temic vascular resistance, are related to increased MR-proADM concentrations. The vasoactive peptide adrenomedullin (ADM) is produced by vascular endothelial cells, epithelial cells of various origins, and some other tissue-specific cell types (1,...
Background and Purpose: Cardiac transplantation is a well defined therapy for end-stage heart failure. Right ventricular failure due to elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity after ortotopic heart transplantation. Aim...
It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and heart attack, and metabolic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes [1,2]. Studies have shown that metabolism, especially glucose metabolism, can be influenced by bone tissue’s structural and endocrine properties....
(i.e., equivalent to adolescence in humans) increased blood pressure, vascular stiffness and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) later in life even after the exposure to fructose and salt had been removed and later re-introduced to rats once they were older (i.e., equivalent to mid-...
