CD36 is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the class B scavenger receptor family. The gene located on chromosome 7 q11.2 and encoded by 15 exons. Defective likely candidate for impaired fatty acid metabolism, glucose intolerance, atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, diabetes, cardiomyopathy, Alzheimer disease, modification clinical course malaria. Contradictory data concerning effects antiatherosclerotic drugs expression indicate that further investigation role in development atherosclerosis...

Background: The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is multifactorial and diverse. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are involved in these processes. It suggested that inflammation may represent a novel modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Therefore, this study aimed to gain insight into the relationship between plasma concentrations TNF, VEGF, IL-6, radiological parameters progression patients with early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Seventy clinically stable were...

Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, can be produced by cardiomyocytes, leading to metabolic disorders in the myocardium. The objective of this study was assess relationship between plasma levels TNF cytokine and presence known biochemical clinical risk factors for cardiovascular disease, along with parameters cardiac morphology patients diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD) at young age. Materials Methods: group included 75 men aged up 50 years 25 women...

Flow-diverting stents can help treat complex and wide-necked cerebral aneurysms. The aim of the study was to evaluate initial experiences related safety effectiveness eight aneurysms treated with a new dual layer coverage designed flow-diverter device. In 2012 Fred devices were used 8 unruptured wide neck (dome-neck ratio ≤ 1.5) sidewall in 6 patients. All located anterior circulation on internal carotid artery (ICA). 4 larger (> 10 mm) one 3D coil association reduce potential incidence...

Over the last two decades, many studies have investigated association between interleukin 6 (IL-6) and pathogenesis progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients with CAD manifested at a young age are particularly interesting group. They differ from older patients, not only in terms severity atherosclerosis, but also risk factor profiles, short- long-term prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI). The role IL-6 younger patients is less well-known. Therefore, our study aimed to...

Acute coronary syndrome occurs when the heart muscle does not receive adequate oxygen and nutrients in a timely manner. syndromes are primarily due to atherosclerosis of arteries, i.e., disease. Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesised from L-arginine endothelial cells by constitutive calcium-calmodulin-dependent enzyme, nitric synthase (NOS), which mediates endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. Endothelial (eNOS) predominantly expressed cells. Three NOS isoforms have been detected different tissue:...
