A scanning acoustic microscope operating at 600 MHz was used to observe arterioles in a thin sheet of collagenous connective tissue dissected from the submucosa of the guinea-pig small intestine. The arterioles were clearly defined in images made using transmitted ultrasound, and the acoustic attenuation (alpha) of the arteriolar wall was estimated to be 120 cm-1. Images made using reflected ultrasound did not show the arterioles clearly.

Early elevations in arterial pressure: a contributor to rapid depressive symptom emergence in female Zucker rats with metabolic disease?
J Appl Physiol (1985)
November 2024
Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada.
One of the growing challenges to public health and clinical outcomes is the emergence of cognitive impairments, particularly depressive symptom severity, because of chronic elevations in metabolic disease and cerebrovascular disease risk. To more clearly delineate these relationships and to assess the potential for sexual dimorphism, we used lean (LZR) and obese Zucker rats (OZR) of increasing age to determine relationships between internal carotid artery (ICA) hemodynamics, cerebral vasculopathies, and the emergence of depressive symptoms. Male OZR exhibited progressive elevations in perfusion pressure within the ICA, which were paralleled by endothelial dysfunction, increased cerebral arterial myogenic activation, and reduced cerebral cortex microvessel density.

Retina/Ophthalmology Department, Hospital de Olhos do Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil.
This case report is a multimodal analysis of a pregnant patient with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) associated to patent foramen ovale (PFO). A 28-year-old woman presented at the clinic 20 h after an acute, painless black spot appearance in the inferior temporal visual field of the right eye (OD). At that time, she was 18 weeks pregnant and had no report of complications in her previous pregnancy.

Aims: Although considerable progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease-associated pulmonary heart hypertension (CHD-PAH), the clinical prognosis and overall survival of patients with CHD-PAH remain poor. Therefore, the molecular pathogenesis of CHD-PAH requires further investigation. The intermediate filament protein synemin (SYN) is reported to modulate phenotypic alterations and varicose vein development, but there is little understanding of its exact functions in CHD-PAH.

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a natural compound with many important pharmacological effects including anti-hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the anti-hypertensive effect of CGA on high-fructose-induced salt-sensitive hypertension and the underlying mechanism. Hypertension was induced in male C57BL/6 mice by 20% fructose in drinking water plus 4% sodium chloride in the diet (HFS) for 8 weeks.

Adiponectin (APN), a protein abundantly secreted from adipocytes, has been reported to possess beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases in association with its accumulation on target organs and cells by binding to T-cadherin. However, little is known about the role of APN in the development of diabetic microvascular complications, such as diabetic retinopathy (DR). Here we investigated the impact of APN on the progression of early retinal vascular damage using a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mouse model.
