Previous image modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) were unable to identify vulnerable plaques due to their limited resolution. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an advanced intravascular imaging technique developed in recent years which has high resolution approximately 10 microns and could provide more accurate morphology of coronary plaque. In particular, it is now possible to identify plaques with fibrous cap thickness < 65 µm, an accepted threshold value for vulnerable plaques. However, the current segmentation of OCT images are still performed manually by physicians and the process is time consuming. Automatic segmentation and recognition of vulnerable plaques through quantification of plaque components have great clinical significance for cardiovascular research. Two segmentation methods for intracoronary OCT image based on support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) were performed to detect the lumen borders and characterize the plaque component. \u0000In vivo IVUS and OCT coronary plaque data from 5 patients were acquired at Emory University with patient’s consent obtained. Seventy-seven matched IVUS and OCT slices with good image quality and medium to large lipid cores were selected for our segmentation study. Manual OCT segmentation was performed by experts and used as gold standard in the automatic segmentations. VH-IVUS was used as references and guide by the experts in the manual segmentation process. Three plaque component tissue classes were identified from OCT images in this work: lipid tissue (LT), fibrous tissue (FT) and background (BG). Procedures using two machine learning methods (CNN and SVM) were developed to segment OCT images, respectively. For CNN method, the U-Net architecture was selected due to its good performance in very different biomedical segmentation and very few annotated images. For SVM method, local binary patterns (LBPs), gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCMs) which contains contrast, correlation, energy and homogeneity, entropy and mean value were calculated as features and assembled to feed SVM classifier.

Introduction \u0000Mitral valve is a complex structure including the annulus, the anterior leaflet, the posterior leaflet, the papillary muscles (PM), and the chordae tendineae connecting the leaflets and PM. The mechanical properties of the chordae play an important role in the normal functioning of the mitral valve: the chordae assists in maintaining the opening and closing configuration of the valve during cardiac cycle. Failure of certain chordae may lead to failure of the mitral valve and in severe cases, will lead to heart disease and mortality. In some cases, the ruptured chord need to be corrected by repair or replacement. Therefore, there has been high interest in the analysis of the function, mechanical properties and shape features of the mitral apparatus to improve the surgical effect. \u0000Chordae can be distinguished by leaflet location insertion as primary and secondary chordae. These finger-like chords connect the mitral valve to either anterolateral papillary muscle (APM) or posteromedial papillary muscle (PPM). The PPM has a higher risk to necrose and rupture in myocardial ischemia and infarction in clinic, but it is underlying mechanism is still unknown. Previous studies have shown importance in maintaining the asymmetric structure and realistic material property of the mitral valve for physiological load condition, but simplified the chord as symmetric structure, which is not true. In this study, the porcine heart chords were classified and measured according to the attached PMs. The uniaxial tensile test was utilized to analyze the biomechanical properties of the papillary muscle related chordae and histology observation was carried out for microstructure analysis. This study aims to analyze the anatomical and mechanical property differences in chords based on PMs which may help to understand the mitral valve function and to optimize the design of the artificial implantation or repair. \u0000 \u0000 Methods and materials \u0000 \u0000Studies have shown that porcine valve was identified as an appropriate model for further investigation of the mitral valve system when considering the rarity of human valve. A total of 16 fresh porcine hearts were collected, infused in 4°C PBS buffer and infiltrated in physiological saline during the experiment, 9 of which were used for tensile testing, 6 for histological section staining, and 1 for TEM scanning. Based on insert position to PM (APM or PPM) and leaflets (primary on free edge and secondary on belly), the chord were divided into the APM primary chord, APM secondary chord, and PPM primary chord, and PPM secondary chord. The chords were separated from the valve, and the chordae diameter and length were measured via microscope, Markers were added at the target area of the chord for strain measurement. The sample was then fixed on an Instron1000 uniaxial tensile test machine with sandpaper. Before the experiment, the specimens were preload from 0N to2N until the displacement curves were substantially coincident","PeriodicalId":48719,"journal":{"name":"Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84909012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local mechanical stimuli outside the biological range play important roles in various human cardiovascular diseases. Although many mechanobiological studies of endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in vitro have been reported in mimicking cellular dysfunctions, their quantitative correlations to the in vivo vascular conditions remain unclear. In order to interpret the stress-modulated dysfunctions of vascular cells and explore the key mechanical factors in vascular diseases, it is important to investigate the mechanical environments of vessel walls in vivo under various physiological conditions. Based on nonlinear continuum mechanics, we analyzed the variations of the mechanical stress, strain, and wall stiffness in human blood vessels at different blood pressures. We adopted nine middle-aged arteries located at different physiological sites for stress analysis including three aortas (ascending thoracic, descending thoracic, and abdominal), and five arterial branches (common iliac, femoropopliteal, subclavian, common carotid, and renal, and left anterior descending coronary artery). The femoropopliteal arteries aged from 11 to 70 years were also adopted for investigating the aging effects. It is found that 1) the vascular cells experience various mechanical stimuli along the arterial tree; 2) the intima and adventitia exhibit distinct variations in stress and strain during the femoropopliteal artery aging; and 3) the magnitude of wall stiffness seems to depend on the arterial locations rather than aging. Although it is reported that stress concentration usually occurs in intima causing EC dysfunctions, our results suggest that the adventitia is more likely to bear high stresses in middle-aged aortas and aged femoropopliteal arteries, triggering the vascular inflammation. We conclude that the mechanical niches of vascular cells strongly depend on the physiological site and aging process. The present results contribute to a better understanding of the mechanical environments in vessel walls, which could serve as a reference for studying the vascular cell mechano-transduction.","PeriodicalId":48719,"journal":{"name":"Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89429721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional diagnostic tools of cardiovascular diseases are either based on 2D static medical images, or invasive, bringing troubles to both patients and doctors. Our team is committed to the development of image-based non-invasive diagnostic system for cardiovascular diseases. We have made progress mainly in the following areas: \u00001) 4D flow technology for heart and large blood vessels. According to MRI 4D Flow data, three-dimensional velocity fields within blood vessels were constructed. Divergence-fee smoothing (DFS) was proposed to eliminate the high frequency noise in the hemodynamic flow field, and make the smoothed velocity field to satisfy the divergence-free condition. The vascular wall shear stress, pressure and other physiological indicators were obtained, their accuracy can meet the need of clinical applications. \u00002) Accurate noninvasive diagnostic techniques for coronary arterial disease. According to coronary CTA imaging data, 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries was achieved coronary stenosis and plaque lesion were identified and analyzed. Coronary microcirculation was modeled using a 0d model; the coronary artery FFR were computed through the Fast FFR technique, which was based on the reduced-order computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The Fast FFR technique can compute the FFR within 5 minutes. Similar techniques have been used in the preoperative evaluation of intraluminal artery bypass. \u00003) In vitro evaluation of artificial heart valves and blood-contacting artificial organs.

Exercise can induce the hemodynamic responses in the CCAs, including variations in blood pressure, circumferential stretch, and wall shear stress (WSS). Mechanosensors in the endothelial cells (ECs) are able to sense and distinguish these variations as mechanical signal, and transmit them into the interior of cells to affect cellular morphology and gene expression. Notably, reasonable exercises improve arterial structure and function, while unreasonable exercises cause endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, studies on the modulation of common carotid arterial structure and function by exercises are quite necessary, and it’s significant to choose reasonable exercise modalities for improving arterial structure and function and preventing cardiovascular diseases. In this work, firstly, we studied the acute and chronic effects of different exercise modalities on the carotid arterial elasticity and hemodynamic variables. The results showed that the acute exercise caused the increases in arterial elastic modulus, blood pressure and the magnitude and frequency of WSS, and led to the decrease of arterial diameter; moreover, the changes in these hemodynamic variables exhibited an exercise-intensity-dependent manner. Additionally, the responses of intracellular nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the autophagy flux to WSS waveforms induced by different intensity exercise were also studied in a multi-component parallel-plate flow chamber system. The experimental results indicated that autophagy regulated intracellular NO and ROS production, and the magnitude and frequency of WSS induced by the moderate intensity exercise were more beneficial to improve arterial endothelial function than the high intensity exercise. Finally, the feasibility of quantitative regulation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in ECs by WSS was preliminarily investigated and confirmed in a microfluidic chip. In summary, our work indicated that it is feasible to choose reasonable exercise modalities to accurately modulate the hemodynamic variables, including blood pressure, blood flow and WSS in the CCAs, and then to improve the structure and function of the CCAs.","PeriodicalId":48719,"journal":{"name":"Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81917035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were isolated from rat bone marrow and cultured in EGM2 medium in vitro. The recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying Kir2.1 (NM_017296.1) gene was designed and constructed in order to overexpress the gene. The smooth muscle cells (SMCs) molecules marker on EPCs, such as α-SMA, FSP1 and α-SM22, were detected by RT-PCR and cellular immunofluorescence. In addition, cell angiogenic capacity and migration in vitro were assessed by Matrigel and Transwell methods respectively. Moreover, neointimal thickening was evaluated in the surgery model of balloon injury of rat carotid artery in vivo. Result The results showed that the expression levels of α-SM22, FSP1 and α-SMA were up-regulated in the Kir2.1 overexpression group compared with the control. The number of migrating cells in the Kir2.1 overexpression group was significantly higher than that in the scramble group, while quantitative assessment further confirmed that the Kir2.1 overexpression strongly attenuated the ability of bone marrow-derived EPC to form tube-like structures in Matrigel assay. Compared with the control group, morphometric analysis showed ratio of intimal area/medial area (I/M) in rats was increased in rats transplanted with Lenti-Kir2.1 overexpression.
