Is white matter damage of the brain associated with poor outcome in vascular surgery patients with claudication : a pilot study?
Microstructural white matter damage was associated with poor outcome in PAD patients with claudication requiring surgical revascularization, and its extent may have clinical value in risk stratification.
OxLDL disrupts the growth and survival of HCAECs through an MDA-dependent pathway involving methylation of the FGF2 promoter and repression of FGF2 transcription. This novel epigenetic mechanism of oxLDL may underlie its atherogenicity in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
