Role of smooth muscle cells on endothelial cell cytosolic free calcium in porcine coronary arteries

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Alexander Schuster

We tested the hypothesis that the cytosolic free calcium concentration in endothelial cells is under the influence of the smooth muscle cells in the coronary circulation. In the left descending branch of porcine coronary arteries, cytosolic free calcium co ...

Assessment of distributed arterial network models

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Patrick Segers

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relative importance of elastic non-linearities, viscoelasticity and resistance vessel modelling on arterial pressure and flow wave contours computed with distributed arterial network models. The computational result ...

Arterial coatings and local drug delivery for restenosis

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

A review with no refs. The use of polymer coatings for local drug delivery for restenosis is discussed. [on SciFinder (R)] ...

Separation of the arterial wall from blood contact using hydrogel barriers reduces intimal thickening after balloon injury in the rat: the roles of medial and luminal factors in arterial healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The objective of this study was to clarify the relative roles of medial versus luminal factors in the induction of thickening of the arterial intima after balloon angioplasty injury. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and thrombin, both associated with ...

The effects of time-varying curvature on velocity profiles in a model of the coronary arteries

Jean-Jacques Meister

Blood flow patterns in the coronary arteries are of interest due to their possible involvement in atherosclerosis localization. Spatial variations in hemodynamic flow patterns are predominantly determined by the vessel geometry. The coronary arteries repre ...

On the wave transmission and reflection properties of stenoses

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Jean-Jacques Meister

This study is concerned with the wave reflection properties of arterial stenoses. Two theoretical models have been developed for deriving the reflection coefficient: a linear model resulting from the linearization of the pressure drop-flow equation and an ...

Fibrates increase human apolipoprotein A-II expression through activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

In view of the evidence linking plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels to a protective effect against coronary artery disease and the widespread use of fibrates in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, the goal of this study was to analyze the ...

Lateral deformation and movement effects on flow through distensible tube models of blood vessels

Jean-Jacques Meister

The fluid flow through a tube with an oscillating elliptical cross-section was analyzed in order to understand better the effects of lateral deformation and movement on flow patterns in large and medium-sized blood vessels. Time-dependent elliptical deform ...

Genetic influences on age-related change in total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels: longitudinal apolipoprotein E genotype effects

Johan Auwerx

This study addressed the possible influence of apolipoprotein E (apo E) genotype on age-related changes in total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels in older males. Apo E is a component of LDL, is a l ...

Modeling of the wave transmission properties of large arteries using nonlinear elastic tubes

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Jean-Jacques Meister

We propose a new, simple way of constructing elastic tubes which can be used to model the nonlinear elastic properties of large arteries. The tube models are constructed from a silicon elastomer (Sylgard 184, Dow Corning), which exhibits a nonlinear behavi ...
