- 环境生理学环境生理学
- 动脉样硬化研究 动脉样硬化研究
背景情况:
- 众所周知,间歇性normobaric缺氧可以促进动脉样硬化斑块的进展.
- 持续性低压性缺氧 (CHH) 对动脉样硬化的影响,这种持续性低压性缺氧 (CHH) 是高海拔环境的特征,对动脉样硬化的影响仍未得到充分研究.
研究的目的:
- 调查持续性低血压缺氧 (CHH) 对动脉样硬化的发展和稳定性的影响.

主要方法:
- 在高胆固醇饮食中的ApoE-/-小鼠被暴露在CHH (10%氧,364 mmHg) 中4周.
- 评估了动脉样硬化病变的大小,斑块稳定性,斑块内血管生成 (CD31,内素) 和炎症标志物.
- 使用定量实时PCR (qRT-PCR) 和免疫组织化学分析分子变化.
主要成果:
- CHH显著促进了动脉样硬化病变的生长,并降低了斑块稳定性 (p=0.0017).

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction
13
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...

Atherosclerosis III: Management
15
Management of atherosclerosis involves an integrated strategy encompassing pharmacological treatment, surgical interventions, lifestyle changes, and nutrition therapy to address the multifactorial nature of the disease.Pharmacological TherapyA cornerstone of atherosclerosis management is the use of pharmacological agents. Statins, such as atorvastatin, are pivotal in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes an initial step in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduction in...
