Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

3.3K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

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...

Development of Blood Vessels

1.4K
The development of the vascular system in a fetus is a complex and intricate process that begins as early as 15 to 16 days post-conception. This process starts outside the embryo, specifically in the mesoderm of the yolk sac, chorion, and connecting stalk. Approximately two days later, the formation of blood vessels occurs within the embryo itself.
The initial formation of this system is facilitated by the small amount of yolk present in the ovum and yolk sac. Blood vessels originate from...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Research
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) are rare, severe vascular conditions with significant mortality.
  • The precise etiology of BBAs, particularly their occurrence in specific arterial segments, remains incompletely understood.
  • Existing research highlights the need for advanced methods to investigate BBA pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between oxygen mass transport and the initiation of blood blister-like aneurysms.
  • To explore the role of hemodynamics, including wall shear stress and oscillatory shear index, in BBA development.
  • To identify potential diagnostic biomarkers for BBAs based on physiological transport phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model blood flow and oxygen transport.
  • Analyzed mass transport of oxygen (O2), time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), and oscillatory shear index (OSI) in 12 BBA patients.
  • Correlated hemodynamic parameters and oxygen transport rates with BBA locations.

Main Results:

  • Eleven out of 12 patients exhibited significantly low oxygen transport rates in the regions where BBAs occurred.
  • These low oxygen transport regions were consistently associated with low TAWSS and high OSI.
  • CFD analysis revealed a strong link between altered hemodynamics and impaired oxygen delivery at the site of BBA formation.

Conclusions:

  • Impaired oxygen mass transport and specific hemodynamic conditions (low TAWSS, high OSI) are strongly implicated in the initiation of BBAs.
  • Oxygen transport dynamics and hemodynamic parameters show potential as diagnostic biomarkers for BBAs.
  • Eliminating hypoxic regions within aneurysms is a potential therapeutic strategy for BBA management.
