  • A Unique Temporary Collateral Pathway Between Carotid-Vertebrobasilar
    Liu et al. BMC Neurology (2020) 20:97 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12883-020-01651-1 CASE REPORT Open Access A unique temporary collateral pathway between carotid-vertebrobasilar arteries in a carotid dissection patient Xiaogang Liu1†, Bing Li2†, Ying Liu3, Hongliang Wu2* , Huilong Zhang2, Lianwei Dou2 and Chuanyu Liu2 Abstract Background: In adults, the anastomosis between carotid and vertebrobasilar arteries is usually the posterior communicating artery, sometimes the primitive trigeminal artery. In this case, the basilar artery fed the internal carotid artery through the pontine-to-tentorial artery anastomosis after severe stenosis from traumatic carotid dissection. Case presentation: A 32-year-old female was diagnosed with ischemic stroke caused by traumatic carotid artery dissection. Aspirin (100 mg/day) and clopidogrel (75 mg/day) were prescribed. Digital subtraction angiography performed 6 days after stroke onset showed a dissection in the cervical segment of left internal carotid artery with severe local stenosis, and a collateral pathway from BA to the cavernous segment of internal carotid artery through the lateral pontine and tentorial artery. Without interventional therapy, clinical symptoms improved significantly within 10 days after onset. At 3-month follow-up, left common carotid artery angiography showed the stenosis had been significantly improved with a residual aneurysm. There was no collateral pathway between carotid-vertebrobasilar arteries, and a residual small artery originated from the posterior vertical segment of cavernous internal carotid artery. The small artery was clearly visualized by 3-dimensional rotational angiography and identified the tentorial artery. Conclusion: To the author’s knowledge, this is the first report of a collateral pathway between carotid vertebrobasilar arteries through the pontine-to-tentorial artery anastomosis.

  • Arteries.Pdf
    Arteries Although blood vessels differ in size, distribution, and function, structurally they share many common features. As in the heart, the walls of blood vessels consist of three major coats or tunics. Differences in the appearance and functions of the various parts of the circulatory system are reflected by structural changes in these tunics or by reduction and even omission of some of the layers. From the lumen outward, the wall of a blood vessel consists of a tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia. The tunica intima corresponds to and is continuous with the endocardium of the heart. It consists of an endothelium of flattened squamous cells resting on a basal lamina and is supported by a subendothelial connective tissue. The tunica media is the equivalent of the myocardium of the heart and is the layer most variable both in size and structure. Depending on the function of the vessel, this layer contains variable amounts of smooth muscle and elastic tissue. The tunica adventitia also varies in thickness in different parts of the vascular circuit. It consists mainly of collagenous connective tissue and corresponds to the epicardium of the heart, but it lacks mesothelial cells. As arteries course away from the heart they undergo successive divisions to provide numerous branches whose calibers progressively decrease. The changes in size and the corresponding changes in structure of the vessel wall are continuous, but three classes of arteries can be distinguished: large elastic or conducting arteries, medium-sized muscular or distributing arteries, and small arteries and arterioles. A characteristic feature of the entire arterial side of the blood vasculature system is the prominence of smooth muscle in the tunica media.

  • 27 Lymph Vascular System
    Lymph Vascular System The lymph vascular system consists of endothelial-lined tubes that recover intercellular (tissue) fluid not picked up by the blood vascular system and returns it to the blood. The fluid (lymph) carried by the lymphatics is a blood filtrate formed as fluid crosses the blood capillaries into the tissues. Unlike the blood vascular system, lymph flow is unidirectional - from tissues to the union of the lymphatic and blood vascular systems at the base of the neck. The lymphatic vascular system begins in the tissues as blindly ending capillaries that drain into larger collecting vessels and then into two main lymphatic trunks. Lymph nodes occur along the course of the vessels and filter the lymph. Lymphatics are present in most tissues but are absent from bone marrow, the central nervous system, coats of the eye, internal ear, and fetal placenta. Lymph Capillaries Lymph capillaries are thin-walled, blind tubes that branch and anastomose freely to form a rich network in organs and tissues. They are wider and more irregular than blood capillaries. The wall of a lymph capillary consists only of a thin continuous endothelium and a discontinuous basal lamina that is present only in patches or may even be absent. Adjacent endothelial cells may overlap, but junctional complexes are few and clefts occur between the cells. Externally, the endothelium is surrounded by a small amount of collagenous connective tissue. Fine filaments run perpendicularly from the collagen bundles and attach to the outer surfaces of the endothelium as anchoring filaments that maintain the patency of the vessel. Collecting Lymph Vessels Collecting lymph vessels differ from lymph capillaries in size and the thickness of their walls.

  • Cell Biology of Tight Junction Barrier Regulation and Mucosal Disease
    Downloaded from http://cshperspectives.cshlp.org/ on October 1, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Cell Biology of Tight Junction Barrier Regulation and Mucosal Disease Aaron Buckley and Jerrold R. Turner Departments of Pathology and Medicine (Gastroenterology), Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Correspondence: [email protected] Mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells. In the intestine, the epithelium establishes a selectively permeable barrier that supports nutrient absorption and waste secretion while preventing intrusion by luminal materials. Intestinal epithelia therefore play a central role in regulating interactions between the mucosal immune system and luminal contents, which include dietary antigens, a diverse intestinal microbiome, and pathogens. The paracellular space is sealed by the tight junction, which is maintained by a complex network of protein interactions. Tight junction dysfunction has been linked to a variety of local and systemic diseases. Two molecularly and biophysically distinct pathways across the intestinal tight junc- tion are selectively and differentially regulated by inflammatory stimuli. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying these events, their impact on disease, and the potential of using these as paradigms for development of tight junction-targeted therapeutic interventions. ucosal surfaces and the epithelial cells that adherens).

  • Defenders and Challengers of Endothelial Barrier Function
    REVIEW published: 18 December 2017 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01847 Defenders and Challengers of Endothelial Barrier Function Nader Rahimi* Department of Pathology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, United States Regulated vascular permeability is an essential feature of normal physiology and its dysfunction is associated with major human diseases ranging from cancer to inflam- mation and ischemic heart diseases. Integrity of endothelial cells also play a prominent role in the outcome of surgical procedures and organ transplant. Endothelial barrier function and integrity are regulated by a plethora of highly specialized transmembrane receptors, including claudin family proteins, occludin, junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs), vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, and the newly identified immunoglobulin (Ig) and proline-rich receptor-1 (IGPR-1) through various distinct mechanisms and signaling. On the other hand, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its tyrosine kinase receptor, VEGF receptor-2, play a central role in the destabilization of endothelial barrier function. While claudins and occludin regulate cell–cell junction via recruitment of zonula occludens (ZO), cadherins via catenin proteins, and JAMs via ZO and afadin, IGPR-1 recruits bullous pemphigoid antigen 1 [also called dystonin (DST) and SH3 protein inter- Edited by: acting with Nck90/WISH (SH3 protein interacting with Nck)].
