Objective: Endothelial dysfunction is one candidate for triggering neointima formation after arteriovenous grafts (AVGs), but the factors mediating this process are unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced endothelial dysfunction in neointima formation following AVGs in high-fat diet (HFD) mice.
Methods: CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein (CHOP) knockout (KO) mice were created.
Article Synopsis
- * The Ag80 composite nanorod structure displays a specific wavelength where its optical properties are isotropic, meaning they behave the same in all directions.
- * At a deposition angle of 87.5°, the Ag80 structure achieves over 90% optical transmission, whereas at 75°, the transmission drops below 20%, enabling the design of lenses with tailored transmission characteristics.
We report a plasmonic structure for switchable reflection and transmission by polarization. The structure is composed of a hexagonal-packed polystyrene sphere array with silver patches on them. Simulations and experiments demonstrated that the conversions between reflected beams and transmitted ones can be performed when the polarization directions of incident beams vary from 0° to 90°.
