Background
Rupture of the cap of a vulnerable plaque present in a coronary vessel may cause myocardial infarction and death. Cap rupture occurs when the peak cap stress exceeds the cap strength. The mechanical stress within a cap depends on the plaque morphology and the material characteristics of the plaque components. A parametric study was conducted to assess the effect of intima stiffness and plaque morphology on peak cap stress. 相似文献4.

Abstract Junipers are main components of semiarid forests in Central Asia. Conservation of these plant genetic resources should be based on an understanding of factors that have shaped species‐level genetic variation. We used Juniperus seravschanica Kom. as a model species to investigate patterns and processes that may be associated with these factors. Novel plastid DNA markers (two minisatellites, one transversion, one indel) were identified and applied to investigate haplotype diversity and population structure in Kyrgyzstan. In total, 540 individuals from 15 populations were analyzed and 11 haplotypes detected. Strong divergence between populations from northern and southern Kyrgyzstan was evident from the haplotype distribution. Gene diversity within populations ranged from 0.083 to 0.765, and was on average higher in southern (0.687) than in northern populations (0.540). A similar pattern was detected in allelic richness. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that 11.9% of the total genetic variation was due to differences among regions, 1.5% among populations, and 86.6% within populations. NST was not significantly different from GST (0.125), suggesting no evidence of a phylogeographic pattern. A Mantel test detected a weak but significant isolation‐by‐distance pattern for the whole dataset and southern populations separately. These results suggest that the north of Kyrgyzstan was relatively recently colonized by migrants from southern populations, probably associated with favorable conditions during the early Holocene. The humid Fergana Valley and Fergana Range are probable ecological barriers to gene flow between northern and southern populations. 相似文献

Background
The process of restenosis after a stenting procedure is related to local biomechanical environment. Arterial wall stresses caused by the interaction of the stent with the vascular wall and possibly stress induced stent strut fracture are two important parameters. The knowledge of these parameters after stent deployment in a patient derived 3D reconstruction of a diseased coronary artery might give insights in the understanding of the process of restenosis. 相似文献7.

We compared genotypes at eight (AC)n microsatellite loci in domestic sheep
(Ovis aries) and wild Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (O. canadensis). The
domestic sheep had greater genetic variation, higher allele-size variances,
and larger allele sizes than the wild sheep. Accumulating evidence from
higher taxonomic comparisons shows that these parameters are biased if
microsatellite loci are selected in one taxon and used in another. Our
results demonstrate similar biases between congeneric species. We compared
standard measures of genetic variation, differentiation, and distance
within and between species (H, D, FST) to newer measures based on
allele-size variance (SW, SB, RST). The size-based distances better
detected species-level divergence, but standard measures better
distinguished allopatric populations. Empirical calibration of these
measures at the subspecies level is needed to establish their useful
ranges.

Olfactory sensitivity in tsetse flies: a daily rhythm 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The diurnal tsetse Glossina morsitans morsitans bites especially in early
morning and late afternoon; around midday feeding is at a low. In
laboratory apparatus that measures the amount of locomotion under constant
conditions over the photophase, the flies display a similar patterning of
activity levels. The profile of daily rhythms for G. morsitans reported in
the literature includes a number of motor and sensory motor systems that
fluctuate cophasically. Lacking is a study on the patterning of the senses'
response levels. In this paper we present the first instance of a daily
modulation in the sense of smell. We stimulated the antennae with
concentration series of host-derived odours and measured the spiking rate
of cells at different times during the photophase. The
concentration-response curves suggest that the sensitivity of antennal
olfactory cells flows in parallel with the other daily rhythms. This was
also reflected in electroantennograms (EAGs). The electroantennography was
extended to G. fuscipes fuscipes, whose level of spontaneous locomotor
activity--instead of following a U- shaped pattern--rises gradually over
the photophase. Again, the EAGs appeared to parallel the species' locomotor
activity. What we believe happens is that the organism tones down the
sensitivity of its odour receptors during periods of anticipated inactivity
for reasons of economy.
