Neoplasia of aortic intima

Neoplasia of Aortic Intima.

Two cases of arterial obstruction, in the region of the aortic bifurcation, are described. In both cases, cellular proliferation of neoplastic type was found to be causing the obstruction, and in one case small embolic metastases were found in the lower limbs and lungs. No primary tumour was found in any site other than the aortic intima itself. Two apparently similar cases have been reported i...

Studies on antigenic structure of bovine aortic intima.

Decellularized porcine aortic intima-media as a potential cardiovascular biomaterial.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this research is to investigate the histological and mechanical properties of decellularized aortic intima-media, a promising cardiovascular biomaterial. METHODS Porcine aortic intima-media was decellularized using two methods: high hydrostatic pressurization (HHP) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The histological properties were characterized using haematoxylin and eo...

Aortic Intima-Media Thickness and Aortic Diameter in Small for Gestational Age and Growth Restricted Fetuses

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to measure aortic intima-media thickness (aIMT) and aortic diameter (AD) in appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses, small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses, and intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses. METHODS Case-control study performed between June 2011 and June 2012. Forty-nine AGA fetuses, 40 SGA fetuses, and 35 IUGR fetuses underwent...

Ghrelin Does not Alter Aortic Intima-Media Thickness and Adipose Tissue Characteristics in Control and Obese Mice

Objective(s): Atherosclerosis is a chronic immune-inflammatory disease that generally leads to ischemic heart disease. Ghrelin has several modulatory effects on cardiovascular system. In this study, we investigated the effect of ghrelin on aortic intima-media thickness, size and the number of adipocyte cells in obese and control mice. Materials and Methods:This study was conducted on 24 male C...
