Differences between perivascular adipose tissue surrounding the heart and the internal mammary artery: possible role for the leptin-inflammation-fibrosis-hypoxia axis. Clin Res Cardiol. 2016;105(11):887–900. Article CAS PubMed Google Scholar Chen Y, Ohmori K, Mizukawa M, Yoshida J, Zeng Y, ...
Different terms including “epicardial,”“pericardial,” and “paracardial” have been used to describe adipose tissue deposits surrounding the heart. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a unique and multifaceted fat depot with local and systemic effects. The functional and anatomic proximity of EAT ...
When the engineered tissue was implanted into rats, between the right atrium and right ventricle, the implanted cells integrated with the surrounding heart tissue and electrically coupled to neighboring heart cells. Optical mapping of the heart showed that in nearly a third of the hearts, the engin...
In simple terms, myocardial infarction can be described as the blockage of a blood vessel (or vessels) in cardiac tissue, which in turn can result in temporary or permanent damage to the surrounding tissue. From: Nanoengineered Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine, 2019 ...
The splenic tissue surrounding the PALS is filled with lymphoid follicles containing resting B cells and macrophages. Surrounding the follicles is the marginal zone, which contains particular B cell subsets. White pulp is the name given to that part of the spleen containing the splenic arterioles ...
gingivalis, leading to inflammation and destruction of the supportive tissues surrounding the teeth [100]. Current treatments for periodontitis include mechanical debridement and pharmacological therapy. However, they face challenges such as drug resistance, adverse reactions, and limited efficacy for ...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the non-cellular scaffold found across tissues that provides structural integrity and mediates signaling to the cells with which it interacts1,2. The ECM is generated primarily by mesenchymal and other surrounding cells (fibroblasts, epithelial cells, adipocytes, etc...
In this context, the 3D printable tissue adhesive could be favorable for mitigating device displacement and leakage to the surrounding tissues. Further design refinement and optimization regarding the biocompatibility, stability, and long-term functional efficacy of each of these concepts would be ...
- 《Heart》 被引量: 500发表: 2008年 Relation of Epicardial and Pericoronary Fat to Coronary Atherosclerosis and Coronary Artery Calcium in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography Fat surrounding coronary arteries might aggravate coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the relation between ...
The presence of SPECT perfusion defects is determined by comparing pre- and post-RT SPECTimages. However, RT may increase the density of the soft tissue surrounding the lung/heart (e.g., chest wall/breast) that could possibly lead to an "apparent" SPECT perfusion defect due to increased ...
