Histone ‐stimulated platelet adhesion to mouse cremaster venules in vivo is dependent on von Willebrand factor
ConclusionsHistone-induced platelet adhesion to microvessels in vivo is vWF-dependent and TLR4-independent. Platelet-derived vWF was not necessary for histone-induced platelet aggregation ex vivo. These data are consistent with the notion that endothelial vWF, rather than platelet vWF, mediates histone-induced platelet adhesion in vivo. (Source: Microcirculation)

Recent advancement of imaging strategies of the lymphatic system: Answer to the decades old questions
AbstractThe role of the lymphatic system in maintaining tissue homeostasis and a number of different pathophysiological conditions has been well established. The complex and delicate structure of the lymphatics along with the limitations of conventional imaging techniques makes lymphatic imaging particularly difficult. Thus in-depth high resolution imaging of lymphatic system is key to understanding the progression of lymphatic diseases and cancer metastases and would greatly benefit clinical decisions. In recent years, the advancement of imaging technologies and development of new tracers suitable for clinical application...

Hydrodynamic Model for Renal Microvascular Filtration: Effects of Physiological and Hemodynamic Changes on Glomerular Size ‐selectivity
ConclusionOur results indicate that glomerular hypertension and the reduction in the oncotic pressure decreases glomerular macromolecule filtration. Reduction of RPF and changes in the glomerular barrier structure associated with DN, however, increase the solute sieving. Damage to GAGs caused by hyperglycemia is likely to be the most prominent factor affecting glomerular size-selectivity. (Source: Microcirculation)

Perioperative trajectory of plasma viscosity: a prospective, observational, exploratory study in cardiac surgery
ConclusionPlasma viscosity had a low coefficient of variation and low perioperative changes, suggesting tight regulation. Studies linking plasma viscosity with outcome would require large patient cohorts. (Source: Microcirculation)

Photoacoustic Imaging for Microcirculation
AbstractMicrocirculation facilitates blood-tissue exchange of nutrients and regulates blood perfusion. It is, therefore, essential in maintaining tissue health. Aberrations in microcirculation are potentially indicative of underlying cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies. Thus, quantitative information about it is of great clinical relevance. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a capable technique that relies on the generation of imaging contrast via the absorption of light and can image at micron-scale resolution. PAI is especially desirable to map microvasculature as hemoglobin strongly absorbs light and can generate a pho...

Nail fold microangiopathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: Relation to diabetic vascular complications
ConclusionAdolescents with T1D have significantly higher NVC changes than controls. These changes were more evident in those having vascular complications than those without. Thus, NVC can be a potential non-invasive tool for early assessment and follow-up of the microvasculature among adolescents with T1D. (Source: Microcirculation)

Effect of the Snake Venom Component Crotamine on Lymphatic Endothelial Cell Responses and Lymph Transport
ConclusionThis evidence suggests that snake venom components may have an impact on the function of the lymphatic system. This needs to be studied in greater detail as there are numerous venom components that may have effects on aspects of the lymphatic system. This would not only provide basic information on the pathobiology of snakebite but also provide targets for improved therapeutics to treat snakebite. (Source: Microcirculation)

Peripheral endothelial and microvascular damage in liver cirrhosis: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsNo differences in peripheral endothelial function assessed with semi-invasive or non-invasive functional methods exist between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic subjects. The increasing co-existence of cardiovascular risk factors leading to impaired vascular reactivity in cirrhotic patients may partly explain these findings. (Source: Microcirculation)

Engineering approaches to investigate the roles of lymphatics vessels in rheumatoid arthritis
AbstractRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory joint disorders. While our understanding of the autoimmune processes that lead to synovial degradation has improved, a majority of patients are still resistant to current treatments and require new therapeutics. An understudied and promising area for therapy involves the roles of lymphatic vessels (LVs) in RA progression, which has been observed to have a significant effect on mediating chronic inflammation. RA disease progression has been shown to correlate with dramatic changes in LV structure and interstitial fluid drainage, manifesting in ...
