1. Relação entre doenças periodontais e aterosclerose subclínica em indivíduos com hipercolesterolemia familiar / Association between periodontitis and subclinical atherosclerosis in familial hypercholesterolemia individuals
Introduction: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease with consequent destruction of teeth supporting tissues. It has multifactorial etiology, and its main cause is accumulation of periodontal pathogens on the dental surface. Periodontitis has been associated with the advance of atherosclerosis. Familial hypercholesterolemia patients display premature devel

2. Análise da ocorrência de imagens sugestivas de calcificações da artéria carótida em radiografias panorâmicas / Analysis of the occurrence of images suggestive of carotid artery calcifications on panoramic radiographies.
A finalidade desta pesquisa foi avaliar imagens sugestivas de ateroma em radiografias panorâmicas, verificando a predileção pelo gênero, faixa etária e localização uni ou bilateral, contribuindo para despertar o interesse dos cirurgiões-dentistas em observar esta radiografia que tanto tem sido utilizada nos dias de hoje. Foram analisadas 10000 radiog

3. Calcification Locates to Transglutaminases in Advanced Human Atherosclerotic Lesions
Transglutaminases play an important role in vascular smooth muscle cell-induced calcification in vitro. In this study, we determined whether these enzymes are also involved in human atherosclerotic calcification using nine carotid artery specimens obtained at endarterectomy. Sections of the carotid artery specimens were registered to micro-computed tomograph

4. Osteopontin is elevated during neointima formation in rat arteries and is a novel component of human atherosclerotic plaques.
In an earlier report, we used differential cloning to identify genes that might be critical in controlling arterial neointima formation (Giachelli, C., N. Bae, D. Lombardi, M. Majesky, and S. Schwartz. 1991. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 177:867-873). In this study, we sequenced the complete cDNA and conclusively identified one of these genes, 2B7, as rat o
