In dialysis patients, there is an association between vascular calcifications and mortality. Hyperphosphatemia and calcium overload are associated with development of vascular calcifications, especially in the presence of low bone turnover. Different plain X-ray methods are now available to evaluate va...

Secondly, the DNA breaks characteristic of apoptosis was found on day 7 of VSMC nodule culture, but the deposition of calcium crystals could not be detected until day 28 [35]. This implies that apoptosis precedes calcification and the calcification process in nodules is regulated. Finally, it ...

Vascular calcification was evaluated by X-ray examination. Correlation between vascular calcification scores and associated indicators were investigated. Results OPN level in MHD group was significantly higher than control group( 140. 2± 11. 5 ng/ml vs. 35. 6 ± 8. 9 ng/ml,P 0. 001). ...

apoptosis was found on day 7 of VSMC nodule culture, but the deposition of calcium crystals could not be detected until day 28 [35]. This implies that apoptosis precedes calcification and the calcification process in nodules is regulated. Finally, it is revealed that ABs and MVs are involved...
Myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) is a natural product known to inhibit vascular calcification (VC), but with limited potency and low plasma exposure following bolus administration. Here we report the design of a series of inositol phosphate analogs as
