Endothelial function and clinical outcome

Endothelial function and clinical outcome.

U nder pro-atherosclerotic conditions, endothelial cells lose the ability to produce bioactive nitric oxide and demonstrate increased expression of vasoconstrictor, pro-inflammatory, and pro-thrombotic factors. The available evidence suggests that these alterations in endothelial phenotype contribute to the formation, progression, and rupture of atherosclerotic lesions. There currently is great...

Clinical outcome, angiographic outcome, and coronary endothelial function after drug-eluting stent implantation.

calcification in 34 of 43 (79%). Ossification was seen in 5 of 34 (15%) calcified pericardia. The study was approved by the local ethics committee, and all of the patients gave informed consent. We isolated pericardial interstitial cells (PICs) and found that they possessed a similar immunophenotype as mesenchymal stem cells. The PICs differentiated into myofibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteo...

Association of Microvascular Function and Endothelial Biomarkers With Clinical Outcome in Dengue: An Observational Study

BACKGROUND The hallmark of severe dengue is increased microvascular permeability, but alterations in the microcirculation and their evolution over the course of dengue are unknown. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study to evaluate the sublingual microcirculation using side-stream dark-field imaging in patients presenting early (<72 hours after fever onset) and patients hospit...

Endothelial function and nitric oxide: clinical relevance.

compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops

chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
