Abstract Both myostatin (MSTN) and activin A, two peptide members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β super family, have been suggested to play major roles in complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), including vascular and bone disease. Both MSTN and activin A share many similariti...
Besides, circSamd4 was considered to be a biomarker for vascular calcifica- tion diagnosis, which silencing had been confirmed to promote vascular calcification progression [6, 7]. CircH- IPK3 is derived from exon2 of the HIPK3 gene, and has been found to be differentially expressed in ...
28,44 Most, but not all, studies report a negative association between circulating DKK1 and vascular calcification,44., 45., 46. similar to what has been observed with sclerostin in the adjusted models. Data on the association between DKK1 and arterial stiffness are inconclusive.32,44 There ...

Vascular calcification is a regulated process occurring in aging and diseased blood vessels that correlates positively with cardiovascular deaths. The calcific deposits consist of bone-like nanoparticles that often form aggregates of various sizes and degrees of crystallinity. In particular, the very small...
(age range 58-81 ys). Diabetic patients were excluded from the study because arterial calcification in these patients prevents accurate A.B.P.I. measurement. 6 of the original 35 claudicant patients were unable to use the treadmill, and were therefore tested separately from the main study ...
shaggy aortas, floating thrombi, severe calcifications).184 Possible limitations of the hybrid approach are the lack of an inflow vessel for debranching (i.e. calcific/aneurysmatic ascending aorta), and the presence of landing zones of unsuitable length/diameter or narrow access vessels, inadequate...
As circumstantial evidence of the involvement of RAS in both VC and osteoporosis, preclinical studies have demonstrated that Angiotensin type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) have a protective effect on vascular calcification [25,29]. In addition, a beneficial effect of ARBs on hip fracture in elderly...
