Calcificação vascular na DRC

[Vascular calcification in CKD].

As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) constituem a principal causa de mortalidade em pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC).1 O risco de óbito por DCV nessa população chega a ser 10 a 30 vezes maior que aquele observado na população geral. Esse aumento da mortalidade também ocorre em pacientes nos estágios precoces da DRC,2 assim como naqueles submetidos a transplante renal.3 A alta prevalência d...

The Database of Ribosomal Cross links (DRC)

The Database of Ribosomal Cross-links (DRC) provides a complete collection of all the published data produced by cross-linking studies on the Escherichia coli ribosome, as well as on its components and functional ligands. The DRC currently includes data on 986 cross-links from >100 research papers, yielded by >40 different reagents. For each cross-link, information is given concerning its locat...

On DRC-covering of Kn by cycles

This paper considers the cycle covering of complete graphs motivated by the design of survivable WDM networks, where the requests are routed on sub-networks which are protected independently from each other. The problem can be stated as follows : for a given graph G, find a cycle covering of the edge set of Kn, where V (Kn) = V (G), such that each cycle in the covering satisfies the disjoint ro...

Degenerin/epithelial Na+ channel proteins: components of a vascular mechanosensor.

Mechanosensitive ion channels are thought to mediate stretch-induced contraction in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs); however, the molecular identity of the mechanosensitive ion channel complex is unknown. Although recent reports suggest degenerin/epithelial Na+ channel (DEG/ENaC) proteins may be mechanosensors in sensory neurons, their role as mechanosensors in vascular tissue has not been...
