With both AAA models, we noted that circumferential cyclic strain sometimes decreased independently of vessel expansion.
Thinning of choroid and decrease of vessel diameter are observed in patients with chronic NIU compared to controls.
The morphometric changes showed an increase of the vessel volume fraction and separation and a decrease of vessel connectivity density during the vascular healing process after SCI.
We detected thinning of choroid and decrease of vessel diameter when compared to matched controls, which indicates that choroidal thickness and vessel size may serve as potential (follow-up) parameters to monitor patients with non-infectious uveitis in future studies.
In CS, microvascular alterations have been observed, resulting in a decrease of vessel density, the proportion of perfused capillaries, or microvascular flow [ 3, 4].
It is therefore also possible that decreased interstitial fluid pressure allows convection again to a certain degree, leading to better delivery despite a decreased number of vessels.
At 33°C dermis was repaired, with a decreased number of vessels congested by erythrocytes, increased blastema and densification of collagen fibers (Fig. 5D).
The pathologic mechanism of IHD is characterized by the irreversible loss of functional cardiomyocytes followed by myocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling due to the decreased number of vessels, which diminishes the blood supply [ 1].
Analysis of the vessel density in 10 random fields in each tumour showed a decreased number of vessels in VEGF121b tumours (control vs VEGF121b, 3.5±0.6 vs 1.7±0.1, P<0.05 unpaired t-test n=6 tumours per treatment 10 fields analysed per tumour, Figure 4B).
Representative microscopic pictures showed a reduction of microvessels in the MTD CPT-11-treated tumours whereas a clearly dramatic decrease of vessels in metronomic CPT-11-treated tumour samples was detected.
