Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

589
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Thoracic Aorta01:15

Thoracic Aorta

2.5K
The thoracic section of the aorta begins at the T5 vertebra and extends to the T12 level at the diaphragm, initially progressing through the mediastinum to the left of the spinal column. Throughout its course in the thoracic segment, the thoracic aorta emits various offshoots known collectively as visceral and parietal branches. The branches that predominantly supply blood to visceral organs are termed visceral branches and include bronchial, pericardial, esophageal, and mediastinal arteries,...

Abdominal Aorta

3.5K
Once the aorta traverses the diaphragmatic plane at the aortic hiatus, it is known as the abdominal aorta. This anatomical structure is positioned leftward of the spinal column, encased within a cocoon of adipose tissue behind the peritoneal cavity. It terminates at the L4 vertebra, where it splits into the common iliac arteries. Prior to this bifurcation, the abdominal aorta gives rise to several vital branches.
The celiac trunk, a singular artery, divides into the left gastric artery, which...

Aneurysm I: Introduction

650
An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Proteomics
  • Cardiovascular Biology

Background:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) exhibit distinct pathogenic mechanisms.
  • Understanding the biochemical differences is crucial for elucidating their separate disease processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the proteomic profiles of AAAs and TAAs with normal aorta (NA) tissues.
  • To identify differentially expressed proteins and pathways involved in the distinct pathogenesis of AAAs and TAAs.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative proteomic analysis was performed on human AAA, TAA, and adjacent normal aorta (NA) tissues.
  • Differential protein expression was identified and analyzed using Panther and Genesis tools.

Main Results:

  • 176 differentially expressed proteins in AAAs and 189 in TAAs were identified.
  • Unique proteins showed downregulation of blood coagulation in AAAs and integrin signaling in TAAs.
  • Shared proteins exhibited decreased blood coagulation and plasminogen activating cascade expression in AAAs, but increased in TAAs, with inverse patterns for integrin signaling.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct proteomic signatures exist for AAAs and TAAs.
  • Differential expression of proteins in blood coagulation, plasminogen activation, and integrin signaling pathways contributes to the unique pathogenesis of AAAs and TAAs.
