The extracellular matrix: an active or passive player in fibrosis?
Fibrosis is characterized by excessive accumulation of collagen and other extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and this process has been likened to aberrant wound healing. The early phases of wound healing involve the formation of a provisional ECM containing fibrin, fibrinogen, and fibronectin. Fibroblasts occupy this matrix and proliferate in response to activators elaborated by leukocytes ...
متن کاملMitral leaflet in functional regurgitation: passive bystander or active player?
In a population-based study, mitral regurgitation (MR) has been found to be the most common form of valvular heart disease in the United States.1 The incidence of MR rises sharply at 65 years of age: moderate or severe MR is estimated to occur in 1% of the 55 to 64 age group, increasing to 6.4% for individuals aged 65 to 74 and to 9.3% for those older than 75.1 In view of the increasing life ex...
متن کاملHyperuricaemia in Cardiovascular Diseases: A Passive or an Active Player?
dysfunction have been related to hyperuricaemia [5, 6] . In diabetic patients, elevated SUA levels were linked to both microand macrovascular complications [7] . These associations confound the relationship of SUA with CV risk, making it difficult to isolate the contribution of SUA. Large numbers of individuals are needed to help compensate for this limitation, using multivariate analyses or se...
متن کاملIs Midlatitude Convection an Active or a Passive Player in Producing Global Circulation Patterns?
The ability of persistent midlatitude convective regions to influence hemispheric circulation patterns during the Northern Hemisphere summer is investigated. Global rainfall data over a 15-yr period indicate anomalously large July total rainfalls occurred over mesoscale-sized, midlatitude regions of North America and/or Southeast Asia during the years of 1987, 1991, 1992, and 1993. The anomalou...
متن کاملAldosterone: villain or protector?
During the past decade, there has been heightened interest in aldosterone as a cardiovascular risk factor, fueled by studies documenting its effects on tissues other than epithelial cells. Of particular interest is the role of aldosterone in exacerbating vascular injury. It is likely that the mechanisms mediating the vascular effects of aldosterone differ from its effects on epithelial cells, e...
