Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Particles of Iron Oxide in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques Can Be Detected by In Vivo Magnetic Resonance Imaging
ME Marianne Eline Kooi,Vincent C. Cappendijk,Kbjm Cleutjens,Agh Alphons Kessels,Peter J.E.H.M. Kitslaar,Marcel Borgers,Peter M. Frederik,M. Daemen,van Jma Jos Engelshoven +8 more
TL;DR: Accumulation of USPIOs in macrophages in predominantly ruptured and rupture-prone human atherosclerotic lesions caused signal decreases in the in vivo MR images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Expression of Bone Matrix Regulatory Proteins in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques
C.R. Dhore,Jack P.M. Cleutjens,Esther Lutgens,Kitty B.J.M. Cleutjens,Piet Geusens,Peter J.E.H.M. Kitslaar,Jan H.M. Tordoir,Henri M. H. Spronk,Cees Vermeer,Mat J.A.P. Daemen +9 more
TL;DR: The observed expression patterns suggest a tight regulation of the expression of bone matrix regulatory proteins during human atherogenesis, which might suggest a regulatory role of these proteins not only in osteoclastogenesis but also in atherosclerotic calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intimal Hyperplasia in Vascular Grafts
TL;DR: Intimal hyperplasia is now recognised as the main cause of thrombotic complications occurring between 2 and 24 months after compliance mismatch, and some solutions have had promising results with respect to improved pata vascular intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum C-Reactive Protein Level Is Associated With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Size and May Be Produced by Aneurysmal Tissue
Tryfon Vainas,Tim Lubbers,Frank R. M. Stassen,Selma B. Herngreen,Marja P. van Dieijen-Visser,Cathrien A. Bruggeman,Peter J.E.H.M. Kitslaar,Geert Willem H. Schurink +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first report showing that serum hs CRP is associated with aneurysmal size and that—in at least some patients—CRP may be produced by aneurYSmal tissue, suggesting that serum CRP may serve as a marker of AAA disease and that CRP produced in vascular tissue might contribute to aneurym formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biphasic pattern of cell turnover characterizes the progression from fatty streaks to ruptured human atherosclerotic plaques.
Esther Lutgens,E. D. De Muinck,Peter J.E.H.M. Kitslaar,Jan H.M. Tordoir,Hein J.J. Wellens,Mat J.A.P. Daemen +5 more
TL;DR: In stable atherosclerotic lesions, DNA synthesis is an early event, while apoptosis is a late event, and Ruptured plaques show a second peak of cell turnover.
