Patient-specific three-dimensional simulation of LDL accumulation in a human left coronary artery in its healthy and atherosclerotic states.
We calculate low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transport from blood into arterial walls in a three-dimensional, patient-specific model of a human left coronary artery. The in vivo anatomy data are obtained from computed tomography images of a patient with coronary artery disease. Models of the artery anatomy in its healthy and diseased states are derived after segmentation of the vessel lumen, with...
متن کاملUsing shape effects to target antibody-coated nanoparticles to lung and brain endothelium.
Vascular endothelium offers a variety of therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Significant research has been focused on developing agents to target the endothelium in diseased tissues. This includes identification of antibodies against adhesion molecules and neovascular expression markers or peptides discovered using phage ...
متن کاملDistribution of nitric oxide synthase in normal and cirrhotic human liver.
Chronic liver disorders represent a serious health problem, considering that 300 million people worldwide are hepatitis B virus carriers, and 8,000-10,000 patients per year, in the U.S. alone, die as a result of liver failure caused by hepatitis C infection. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) regulates hepatic vasculature; however, the patterns of expression and activity of NOS proteins in healthy and...

Many of the venous functions are biomechanical in their nature and/or related closely to biomechanical (hemodynamic) forces: 1 Blood conduits, collectors with flow-rectifying valves 2. Maintenance of filling pressure for the right heart by controlling venous return in the face of widely varying cardiac output arterial pressure buffer 3. Capacity function, redistribution of blood volume 4. Postc...
متن کاملThere's more to flow-mediated dilation than nitric oxide.
Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is the standard tool used to assess endothelial function. The premise behind the standard FMD test is that it serves as an endothelial-dependant nitric oxide bioassay; however, the endothelium may release additional dilatory molecules which contribute to FMD, most notably prostacyclin and endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor. The relative importance of these m...
