OBJECTIVE
To study whether recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) mediated foreign gene, LacZ, could pass the blood brain barrier by intra-carotid artery delivery and express in vivo in ischemic brain of the focal embolic stroke rats to investigate a possibility of delivering foreign gene through
OBJECTIVE
Fetuin A, a predictor of mortality in dialysis patients, is associated with vascular calcification and atherosclerosis in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Whether it predicts stroke remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the association between fetuin A and incident stoke in
Severe heat stroke may be associated with hypophosphatemia and hypocalcemia. Hypophosphatemia is generally observed within hours after onset, but hypocalcemia usually occurs on the second or third day, and after hypophosphatemia has undergone spontaneous correction. A young man displayed respiratory
BACKGROUND
Calcium-phosphate levels, linked to vascular dysfunction in chronic kidney disease, may represent novel risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, and death in community-dwelling adults.
METHODS
We tested this hypothesis over 12.6 years of follow-up in the prospective,
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of various fluoride compounds and casein phosphopeptide/amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on the reduction of erosive/abrasive tooth wear.
METHODS
Forty enamel samples were prepared from bovine lower incisors, stratified and allocated to 4 groups (1-4).
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is associated with atherosclerosis via nitric-oxide-associated endothelial dysfunction and calcium-phosphate-related bone mineralization. This study aimed to determine the association of the plasma FGF23 concentration with intracranial cerebral OBJECTIVE
Thrombus composition has been postulated to affect the success of endovascular therapy. Calcified clots are composed of large amounts of calcium phosphate which influences their mechanical properties and may serve as a model for testing this hypothesis. The aim of this study was to
OBJECTIVE
Little is known about the effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on plaque morphology in cerebral vessels. We therefore analyzed plaque composition and metabolic and chemical parameters with regard to clinical outcome in patients with advanced carotid artery stenosis (>70%) and normal or
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the interrelationship between cardiac surgery, age, circulating concentrations of the vitamin D hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and clinical outcome.
METHODS
Prospective, monocentric, two-arm parallel study.
METHODS
Tertiary Heart and Diabetes Center in the Federal State of
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene, demonstrates progressive build-up of calcium phosphate and proteoglycans in the skin, eye, and arteries, and is associated to myocardial infarctions, stroke, blindness, and elevated carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Although
CONCLUSIONS
Linear scleroderma is a subtype of localised scleroderma. When linear scleroderma occurs on the anterior portion of the scalp and forehead, it may assume an ivory-like, depressed configuration similar to the stroke of a sabre and called 'coup de sabre'. Atrophic changes affect
OBJECTIVE
To identify the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Chinese chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
METHODS
As part of a multicenter Chinese cohort study, the clinical data associated with CVD of 1239 patients with CKD (stage 2 - 5) hospitalized in 7 grade 3A
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesized that elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels will be independently associated with 20-year cognitive decline in a large population-based cohort.
METHODS
We studied 12,964 middle-aged white and black ARIC participants without a history of prior stroke who, in 1990-1992
Apatite layers were grown on the surface of newly developed starch/polycaprolactone (SPCL)-based scaffolds by a 3D plotting technology. To produce the biomimetic coatings, a sodium silicate gel was used as nucleating agent, followed by immersion in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. After
Six high operative risk patients with urinary retention caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia were managed with an intraprostatic spiral at our hospital. Three of them had severe coronary artery disease, 1 had uremia, 1 had cerebral stroke and 1 had poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. The urinary
