  • Levels of these cells in peripheral blood may be a sensitive index of cardiovascular injury because of residential proximity to roadways. (eurekamag.com)
  • CGRP expression is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous system. (bachem.com)
  • Studies have confirmed that prostaglandins and their receptors play important roles in the occurrence and development of PAH through vasoconstriction, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, inflammation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. (bvsalud.org)
  • These G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) are seen as contributors to different pathways including those of the circulatory and cardiovascular system, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, airways and also the skin. (anaspec.com)
  • Nanoparticle exposure and systemic/cardiovascular effects - experimental data. (cdc.gov)
  • In this respect, epidemiological and experimental studies have suggested an association between respiratory exposure to ambient ultrafine particles and the progression of cardiovascular disease. (cdc.gov)
  • Importantly, the ARC is translational, and it strives to meaningfully involve mechanistic studies in experimental systems with measures of vascular cell function in patients. (bu.edu)
  • We are currently taking in vitro and in vivo approaches, including our unique transgenic mouse models that express natural antibodies (Abs) specifically target LPPs to explore modes of LPPs regulation during atherogenesis. (zhao-sun-lab.org)
  • To carry out these legislative mandates, ATSDR's Division of Toxicology (DT) has developed and coordinated a mixtures program that includes trend analysis to identify the mixtures most often found in environmental media, in vivo and in vitro toxicological testing of mixtures, quantitative modeling of joint action, and methodological development for assessment of joint toxicity. (cdc.gov)
  • This amount of inactivity was sufficient to cause vascular alterations, an increase in inflammation markers, and a rise in postprandial blood sugar. (fapesp.br)
  • Many studies have further demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has dramatically increased the risks of CVDs due to inflammation, so PGRN has drawn much more attention among scholars. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Lysosomes play a pivotal role in the inflammation process, and PGRN is one of the key regulators in their functioning, which contributes to the immunomodulatory mechanism in the pathogenesis of CVDs. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Independent risk factors for development of proven drug therapy, preferably a combination of doxycycline chronic Q fever were valvular surgery, vascular prosthesis, and hydroxychloroquine for 18-24 months. (cdc.gov)
  • Aims Premature cardiovascular events complicate chronic inflammatory conditions. (bmj.com)
  • Methods/results In the (NZW×BXSB)F 1 murine model of inflammatory vasculopathy, MTX 1 mg/kg/week significantly reduced intramyocardial vasculopathy and attenuated end-organ damage. (bmj.com)
  • Additionally, the laboratory has been involved with a variety of projects involving blood-contacting devices, for instance, to develop a membrane system to scavenge deleterious host antibodies and to evaluate a bead-packed column to preferentially adsorb pro-inflammatory cytokines from patients at risk for septic shock.

  • by organisms spread through the lymphatic system from the primary site of infection. (msdmanuals.com)
  • In the Netherlands, development of chronic Q fever after Coxiella burnetii however, an equal distribution of endocarditis and vascular infection, we performed a case-control study. (cdc.gov)
  • Indication of vascular infection on PET/CT, relied on results of serologic testing and PCR. (cdc.gov)
  • Nowhere are the "blessings of the grape" so evident as in prevention of cardiovascular disease. (lifeextension.com)
  • Routine cross-notification between the veterinary and human health surveillance systems should be part of any zoonotic disease prevention and control programme, and close collaboration between the two health sectors is particularly important during epidemiological and outbreak investigations.
