Unstable carotid plaques exhibit raised matrix metalloproteinase-8 activity.
BACKGROUND The fibrous cap of atherosclerotic plaques is composed predominantly of type I and III collagen. Unstable carotid plaques are characterized by rupture of their cap, leading to thromboembolism and stroke. The proteolytic mechanisms causing plaque disruption are undefined, but the collagenolytic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1, -8, and -13 may be implicated. The aim of this study was...

متن کاملMeasure of magnetization transfer in multiple sclerosis demyelinating plaques, white matter ischemic lesions, and edema.
PURPOSE To define the percentage of magnetization transfer of multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques, ischemic white matter lesions, and vasogenic edema to determine whether this measurement can help differentiate these entities. METHODS Findings were compared in 25 patients with proved MS, 20 patients with white matter ischemic lesions, and 72 patients with white matter edema (caused by tumors, inf...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Structural Changes in MS Plaques and Normal Appearing White Matter Using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging (MTI)
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), affecting mostly young people at a mean age of 30 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most specific and sensitive methods in diagnosing and detecting the evolution of multiple sclerosis disease. But it does not have the ability to differentiate between distinct histopathologic...
متن کاملThe distribution of plaques in the cerebrum in multiple sclerosis.
One of the fundamental problems posed by multiple sclerosis is concerned with the distribution of the pathological lesions called plaques. The literature concerning the histopathology of this disease is immense but a recent review by Lumsden (1955) did not refer to any paper in which the position of plaques in the cerebrum had been determined with any exactitude although such an exact study was...
