Becker There is abundant anti HLA-DR reactivity on plaque cells indicating active inflammation. P.K. The defining characteristics of a vulnerable plaque include but are not limited to: a thin fibrous cap, large lipid-rich necrotic core, increased plaque inflammation, positive vascular … J.R.W. et al. Dental Pellicle forms within seconds after brushing. Palacios Atherosclerosis detailed illustration. C.L. Whether a plaque tends to stability or instability will depend on which mechanism dominates the course of plaque formation in a given period of time. C.M. Souhaitez-vous les transférer vers votre profil d’entreprise ? The distribution of inflammatory cells in atherosclerotic plaques relates to the direction of flow. Molecular processes such as inflammation, lipid accumulation, apoptosis, proteolysis, thrombosis and angiogenesis have shown to be highly related with plaque vulnerability. Nilsson The purpose of this study was to determine whether bone formation and extensive dystrophic calcification are associated with stable plaques and protective against ischemic vascular events. Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Mangiferin on an Experimental Model of Allergic Rhinitis through the Inhibition of NF-κB Signaling Pathways. D. The so-called fibrin cap on the lesion matures. Clarijs J.A. Basically the leukocytes have a protective function and serve in host defense by eliminating injurous agents, but their secretory products may also augment injury by damaging surrounding tissue components. Farb have provided a description of the histology of 448 plaques in coronary arteries of 54 men with stable angina. Apart from the undisputable role of atherosclerosis in abdominal aneurysm formation [7], mural thrombosis leads to a surprisingly low rate of clinically significant complications in these patients, although cholesterol emboli can be regularly found in their kidneys and skin at autopsy. In this paper, we analyze a simplified model of plaque growth to derive physically meaningful results about the growth of plaques. Zarins Des milliers de nouvelles images de grande qualité ajoutées chaque jour. M.C. Plaque biofilm formation at 1 week. Isner Corley D.B. J Am Coll Cardiol 1998;31:420. J. Davies Group 1: chronic stable angina; Group 2: "stabilized" unstable angina (Braunwald class I, II); Group 3: "refractory" unstable angina (Braunwald class III). Giddens Piek C. Pasterkamp Atherosclerotic plaque formation results from complex cellular interactions in the intima of arteries, which take place between resident cells of the vessel wall (smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells) and cells of the immune system (leukocytes). This atherosclerotic plaque contains almost solely smooth muscle cells (blue) nd is practically devoid of macrophages. M.J. Pris globalement, ces facteurs de risque modifiables expliqueraient par exemple 90% des cas dIDM recensés dans le monde. J. The inflammatory process in plaques most likely represents a protective phenomenon which serves to eliminate accumulations of noxious agents from the arterial wall. An interesting relationship between the type of remodelling of the vessel wall and the tissue composition of the local plaque was found: lipid-rich plaques with many inflammatory cells were often associated with local arterial dilation. In the atherosclerotic plaque these growth factors are produced by ‘injured’ endothelial cells and macrophages or released from thrombus [1, 51]. In this respect inflammation is closely related to a process of repair. Copyright © 2021 European Society of Cardiology. A.P. Arrow to the left indicates the destabilizing effects of lipids and inflammation, thus creating a vulnerable lipid-rich plaque. Richardson Many research efforts have been devoted to the identification of such unstable plaques; this article tends to emphasize the central role of intrinsic plaque features in the process of plaque rupture and thrombosis. P. Becker No membership needed. Smooth muscle cells (blue) are in the media and focally in the fibrous cap where they cover the site of macrophage accumulation. Differences between lipid-rich and fibrous plaques. Asterisk is in the thrombosed lumen. Lee He has been diagnosed with triple vessel disease — a condition triggered by plaque formation in the arteries — and underwent a coronary angioplasty to unclog his … Large amounts of this growth factor are detected in restenosis lesions after PTCA [50], and it also participates in the repair process after natural plaque disruption. In contrast, a gradual decline in the average tissue areas occupied is noticed in the same series of patients from stable angina to the severest types of unstable angina [18] (Fig. (B) Adjacent section stained with Picro Sirius Red (collagen red, media yellow) shows a decrease in collagen density where the macrophages have accumulated. D. P.D. van der Wal A. Essentially clinically stable are fibrous plaques, composed of solid fibrous or fibrocellular tissue, and only small amounts of extracellular lipid or no lipid at all. Davies Le gravier ou les gravillons restent compacts grâce à la structure en nid d'abeilles de la plaque pour gravillons. A.M. 4). B.H. E.L. O.J. et al. Même si la physiopathologie de la plaque d’athérome est commune, il s’agit donc bien de deux situations distinctes, résumées sur la figure 1. Richardson While unstable and vulnerable plaques have been characterized by several studies which indicate that they have a thin fibrous cap (< 65 µm) and its LC is substantial (Libby, 2001; Andrews et al., 2018). R. J.Y. Since inflammation occurs also at the base of the atheroma of lipid plaques, dilation may result from destruction and attenuation of the media underlying plaques [76, 77]. D.

Fragale It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. But they may become vulnerable, there is a risk of rupture and lead to thrombosis. Stanunavicius A.C. 81–104. Kearney Das 2- Dégagez à partir du doc b et c les caractéristiques structurales des roches métamorphiques. L. Arbustini The stable plaques are less likely to rupture because they have a thick fibrous cap with a small lipid core (LC) area (van der Wal, 1999). Asterisk is in the lipid core of the plaque. These lesions, which occur more often in younger individuals and in women, have less often or smaller foci of inflammation [32]. These external factors will not be discussed, but still some other plaque features require attention. Hemodynamic factors such as local disturbances in flow velocity and alterations in shear stress form another risk factor for plaque initiation and growth [81]. Wakeley S. But they may become vulnerable, there is a risk of rupture and lead to thrombosis. Schematic view of the two major tissue remodeling forces in atherosclerotic plaques. Plaque lithosphérique : zone stable faisant partie de la lithosphère à la surface de la Terre. ... Les manifestations de l'activité du globe terrestre (séismes, volcans, formation de montagnes ou d'océans) sont le résultat du mouvement des différentes plaques lithosphériques ou tectonique des plaques qui a souvent des conséquences désastreuses sur notre vie et notre environnement. H. Chester These were compared with atherectomy tissues of patients with either ‘stabilized’ unstable angina or the more severe type of ‘acute onset’ unstable angina. This notion is of importance, since only specific types of lesions in this spectrum of morphologic variants appear to be associated with acute manifestations of atherosclerotic disease. (A) High grade stenosing lesion with occlusive thrombosis of a 32 year old male who died instantly of acute myocardial infarction. Illustration of angina, diagram, health - 51781417 In a study on 20 thrombosed coronary arteries in our laboratory, the classical lipid-rich morphology was found indeed in 50% of the underlying ruptured plaques, but the other 50% had either a substantial fibrous cap (25% or more of the entire plaque thickness) or were almost completely fibrous in composition, albeit all with surface erosions [20]. On the other hand, typically vulnerable plaques are characterized by large lipid pools and have a thin or virtually absent fibrous cap. E.C. Therefore, clinical stability does not always indicate biologic stability in terms of (absence of) inflammation and thrombus formation. In only 15% of these patients, all the plaques causing >50% stenosis were fibrous, while in 13% of patients virtually all plaques had a lipid core. The continued recruitment of T-cells and macrophages at sites of ‘dysfunctional endothelium’ appears to be a constant feature of lesion initiation and progression as it accentuates the chronic inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis [23]. In early lesions and in restenosis lesions, smooth muscle cell apoptosis could have beneficial effects and promote regression, but in the fibrous cap of advanced lesions it introduces another potential of plaque destabilization through the loss of repair cells. Isner Enright Atherosclerosis, the formation of life-threatening plaques in blood vessels, is a form of cardiovascular disease. Identification of carotid plaques which confer excess risk of neurologic events is fundamental in the selection of patients for vascular intervention. A. Moreover, the association between inflamed lipid lesions and local vessel dilation provides another clue why many mildly stenotic lesions do rupture. Palmer Once activated by plasmin or mast cell products, they initiate a cascade of proteolytic activities with a very broad substrate specificity, including all the extracellular matrix components of the fibrous cap [57]. A.C. 8). An interesting relationship was seen between the amounts of inflammatory cells in the lesions and the severity of various unstable ischemic syndromes [18, 33, 40]. R.M. This view is illustrated in Fig. Fuster V, Badimon L, Badimon JJ, Chesebro JH. M.I. de Boer OJ, van der Wal AC, Becker AE. R.D. J.J. Faber Any form of endothelial denudation leads to activation of the coagulation system due to exposition of highly thrombogenic plaque constituents (lipids, tissue factor, collagens) to the blood stream. ... intermittent claudication) may develop when stable plaques grow and reduce the arterial lumen by > 70%. - Acheter ce vecteur libre de droit et découvrir des vecteurs similaires sur Adobe Stock Libby N. Davies Smoking did not influence the composition of the plaques with respect to features of vulnerability, but appeared to be highly thrombogenic. M.I. Richardson J.S.T. D.P. Atherogenesis and inflammation, Regional accumulation of T-cells macrophages and smooth muscle cells in the human atherosclerotic plaque, Human atherosclerosis. At autopsy, lipid-rich plaques are frequently found underlying coronary thrombosis [3, 14, 15]. P.K. They are found in most cases of acute transmural myocardial infarction. P. Mitchinson A.E. M.W. M.C. Kaartinen Burke et al. Smooth muscle proliferation and matrix synthesis implies a mechanism of slowly progressive growth of plaques; it serves to encapsulate the soft atheroma and organizes episodes of thrombus formation, either spontaneously or artificially induced. Local arterial dilation is a well-known and important mechanism of compensatory enlargement of the vessel at sites where plaques grow [72].
