Glycocalyx-targeted therapy ameliorates age-related arterial dysfunction

Glycocalyx-targeted therapy ameliorates age-related arterial dysfunction
Advanced age is accompanied by arterial dysfunction, as well as a diminished glycocalyx, which may be linked to reduced high molecular weight–hyaluronan (HMW-HA) synthesis.
Biomarkers in Children With Sepsis

Endothelial and Glycocalyx Biomarkers in Children With Sepsis After One Bolus of Unbalanced or Balanced Crystalloids
The primary outcome was endothelial glycocalyx disruption (using perfused boundary region >2 µm on sublingual video microscopy and syndecan-1 greater than 80 mg/dL) according to the type of crystalloid.
Microvascular Rarefaction in Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Heart Failure

Evaluation of miCRovascular rarefaction in vascUlar Cognitive Impairment and heArt faiLure (CRUCIAL): Study protocol for an observational study
Microvascular rarefaction, the functional reduction in perfused microvessels and structural reduction of microvascular density, seems to be an important mechanism in the pathophysiology of small blood vessel-related disorders including vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) due to cerebral small vessel disease and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
endotheliopathy-morphofunctional
December 21, 2022
Relationship of the main indicators of systemic COVID-associated endotheliopathy with the morphofunctional state and hemodynamics of the retina and chorioid in the acute period of the disease
Nonspecific angio- and retinopathy is one of the clinical manifestations of a new coronavirus infection. The frequency of occurrence of these changes in people with severe COVID-19 does not exceed 55%. The causes, course and consequences of these microcirculatory disorders of the retina are currently not well understood.
Endothelial Damage and the Microcirculation in Critical Illness

Endothelial Damage and the Microcirculation in Critical Illness
Endothelial integrity maintains microcirculatory flow and tissue oxygen delivery. The endothelial glycocalyx is involved in cell signalling, coagulation and inflammation.
mediated dilation between plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis
October 3, 2022
Differences in coronary flow reserve and flow-mediated dilation between plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis
We aimed to investigate endothelial glycocalyx, coronary microcirculatory function and flow-mediated dilation in patients with plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
antiretroviral therapy
October 3, 2022
Endothelial glycocalyx improvement after six months and one-year of antiretroviral therapy in treatment naive patients with human immunodeficiency virus
Chronic inflammation induced by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) plays a key role in the development of early cardiovascular (CV) disease. The impact of currently recommended first line antiretroviral therapy (ART) on CV risk early after treatment initiation is still under investigation.
decresed-nitric-oxide
October 3, 2022
Endothelial dysfunction due to decreased nitric oxide bioavailability in dysglycaemic subjects and first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients
We aimed to investigate oxidative stress and nitrites/nitrates concentrations at baseline and during postprandial hyperglycaemia in 40 first-degree relatives (FDR) of type 2 diabetic patients with normal oral glucose test (OGTT), 40 subjects with abnormal OGTT (dysglycaemic) and 20 subjects with normal OGTT without parental history of diabetes (normoglycaemic).
capillary rarefication in long COVID syndrome
August 11, 2022
Persistent capillary rarefication in long COVID syndrome
Recent studies have highlighted Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a multisystemic vascular disease. Up to 60% of the patients suffer from long-term sequelae and persistent symptoms even 6 months after the initial infection.
microvascular rarefraction
December 23, 2021
Microvascular rarefaction in patients with cerebrovascular events
Capillary density rarefaction and endothelial dysfunction contribute to chronic hypoperfusion and cerebral small vessel disease. Previous animal experiments revealed spatiotemporal microvascular remodeling directing post-stroke brain reorganization. We hypothesized that microcirculatory changes during acute cerebrovascular events could be reflected systemically and visualized sublingually.
Association of Gestational Diabetes With Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease on Echocardiogram and Endothelial Function Testing
November 8, 2021
Association of Gestational Diabetes With Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease on Echocardiogram and Endothelial Function Testing
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The subclinical cardiovascular structural and functional changes that contribute to long-term cardiovascular risk are unclear.
Impaired Endothelial Glycocalyx Predicts Adverse Outcome

Impaired Endothelial Glycocalyx Predicts Adverse Outcome in Subjects Without Overt Cardiovascular Disease: a 6-Year Follow-up Study
In 600 healthy subjects, we measured perfused boundary region (PBR), a marker of glycocalyx integrity, in sublingual microvessels with diameter ranging 5–25 µm using a dedicated camera (Sideview Darkfield Imaging).
