Sentence examples for thickened arterial from inspiring English sources

Active vascular inflammation was considered in cases with a higher FDG uptake than BP and a thickened arterial wall (>2 mm).

Because both a thickened arterial wall on CECT and a higher uptake of FDG in the visual assessment were used for determining IgG4-aortitis-positivity, there was a potential bias that the positive region would show a higher SUVmax value.

Coincident collagen deposition and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) cellularity within a diffusely thickened arterial intima is a salient feature of species-wide mammalian arterial wall remodeling that accompanies aging [1] [3].

Although the vessel borders were difficult to define by CNA35 staining alone, MTP was able to clearly stain myocytes and thickened arterial wall, offering a useful counterstain (Figure 3C).

MRI can reveal oedema or contrast enhancement within the thickened arterial wall, which might be associated with ongoing inflammation.

The consequence of such 'phenotypic switching' is the promotion of VSM proliferation and extracellular matrix remodelling leading to a thickened arterial wall and narrowing of the vessel lumen.

These findings suggest that an MCP-1/MMP-2/TGF-β1 signaling loop may be operative and a key to the collagen production and intimal invasion by VSMC, contributing to the concurrence of fibrosis and cellularity in the thickened intima of the aged arterial wall.

The results of the above experiments are attributable to an MCP/MMP-2/TGF-β1 signaloop loop and suggest that the progressive arterial intimal thickening and accumulation of cellularity and fibrosis within the thickened intima during aging may involve this feed-forward signaling.

As a consequence, as in our patient, the arterial wall is diffusely thickened, consisting of intimal proliferation and medial dysplasia with hypertrophy, fibrosis, and a mosaic arrangement of smooth muscle cells [ 17, 18].

The biopsy showed a thickened intima and media of the pulmonary arterial wall with diffuse sclerosis and fibrosis.

The mucosal and serosal layers of thickened GB wall were enhanced at the arterial phase presenting as two "hyper-echoic lines" and were intactness in 20 cases (Fig.  3).
