Full textColorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second most common malignant tumor in Europe. Screening tests have shown to be very effective in reducing the amount of deaths since they allow an early detection of polyps. Among the different screening techniques, colonoscopy is considered the gold standard although clinical studies mention several problems that have an impact in the quality of the procedure. The navigation through the rectum and colon track can be challenging for the physicians which can increase polyp miss rates. The thorough visualization of the colon track must be ensured so that the chances of missing lesions are minimized. The visual analysis of colonoscopy images can provide important information to the physicians and support their navigation during the procedure. Blood vessels and their branching patterns can provide descriptive power to potentially develop biometric markers. Anatomical markers based on blood vessel patterns could be used to identify a particular scene in colonoscopy videos and to support endoscope navigation by generating a sequence of ordered scenes through the different colon sections. By verifying the presence of vascular content in the endoluminal scene it is also possible to certify a proper inspection of the colon mucosa and to improve polyp localization. Considering the potential uses of blood vessel description, this contribution studies the characterization of the vascular content and the analysis of the descriptive power of its branching patterns. Blood vessel characterization in colonoscopy images is shown to be a challenging task. The endoluminal scene is conformed by several objects whose similar characteristics hinders the development of particular models for each of them. To overcome such difficulties we propose the use of the blood vessel branching characteristics as low-level features for pattern description. We created two data sets including manually labeled vessel information as well as manual ground truths of two types of keypoint landmarks: junctions and endpoints. We present a model to characterize junctions in binary patterns. The implementation of the junction model allows us to develop a junction localization method. The proposed method outperforms the available algorithms in the literature in experiments in both, our newly created colon vessel data set, and in DRIVE retinal fundus image data set. In the latter case, we created manual ground truth of junction coordinates. Since we want to explore the descriptive potential of junctions and vessels, we propose a graph-based approach to create anatomical markers. In the context of polyp localization, we present a new method to inhibit the influence of blood vessels in the extraction of low-level profile information. The results show that our methodology decreases vessel influence, increases polyp information and leads to an improvement in state-of-the-art polyp localization performance.

Además, la progresión de las placas arterioscleróticas se caracteriza por un proceso de remodelado vascular consecuencia de la proliferación y migración de células musculares lisas vasculares (CML) en la íntima. Sin embargo, las placas ateroscleróticas con mayor susceptibilidad a la ruptura presentan una pérdida progresiva de CML, siendo estas placas ricas en lípidos y altamente vulnerables las que provocan eventos isquémicos mórbidos o fatales. Hoy día desconocemos todavía los mecanismos involucrados en la transformación de las placas en ateromas vulnerables. Las CML ricas en lípidos presentan alteraciones en su capacidad de reparación vascular debido a alteraciones en proteínas del citoesqueleto. Sin embargo, los efectos de las LDL en la función de las CML durante el remodelado de las placas y reparación vascular se desconocen en gran medida. Por ello, el objetivo de esta tesis ha sido investigar los cambios iniciales inducidos directamente por las LDL en el fenotipo y la función de las CML e identificar los mecanismos moleculares involucrados. Esta tesis demuestra que el riesgo cardiovascular de la hipercolesterolemia implica la interacción entre LDL y CML y la regulación a nivel molecular de diferentes vías de señalización que convergen en la migración celular. La capacidad de migración de CML cargadas de lípidos puede restituirse mediante la inhibición de la 3-hidroxi-3-metilglutaril coenzima-A (HMG-CoA), a través de un mecanismo dependiente de la quinasa Rho. Además, los estudios realizados en esta tesis demuestran que las LDL afectan la adhesión, migración y dinámica de formación del citoesqueleto de las CML a través de la alteración de la función del sistema del activador del plasminogeno tipo uroquinasa (uPA)/uPA receptor (uPAR) y mediante la modulación de la fosforilación y localización subcelular de la HSP27.

Full textO objetivo foi estudar a ligação entre a homocisteína (Hcy) e a doença vascular, assim como os possíveis danos na saúde que podem ser causados devido ao seu aumento. O metabolismo da Hcy acontece através de duas vias: a via de transulfuração e a via de remetilação, sendo a coenzima tetra-hidrofolato (THF) e a S-adenosilmetionina (SAM) compostos importantes deste metabolismo. O piridoxal fosfato, um derivado de vitamina B6, é necessário para a atividade da cistationina β – sintase, e o tetra-hidrofolato e a vitamina B12 auxiliam a metilação da homocisteina a metionina. A determinação da concentração da Hcy parece ser de vital importância porque o aumento desta pode provocar danos vasculares nos seres humanos difíceis de recuperar. Além disso, e como consequência destes danos, o aumento da Hcy pode danificar um variado conjunto de órgãos tais como, o coração (artérias), fígado, cérebro (nervos) e também as articulações, causando assim uma ampla variedade de doenças (doenças arteriais coronárias, AVC, doenças vasculares periféricas, doenças cerebrovasculares etc). Assim, a hiperhomocisteínemia (HHcy) derivada logicamente do aumento da Hcy, não deve ser descurada. O controlo HHcy passa por uma alimentação equilibrada e um aporte correto de nutrientes e vitaminas. This thesis was elaborated for the conclusion of Master Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The subject was chosen taken into account the connection between hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and vascular diseases. Thus described the importance of the homocysteine (Hcy) in the everyday life, its determination and possible damage to health that can be caused due to its increase. It is described the metabolism of homocysteine (Hcy ) through its two pathways: the pathway of transsulfuration and the pathway remethylation . Also mentioned was the importance of coenzyme tetrahydrofolate (THF) and S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM) in the metabolism of Hcy. The pyridoxal phosphate, a derivative of vitamin B6 is required for the activity of cystathionine β - synthase, and tetrahydrofolate and vitamin B12 assist the methylation of homocysteine to methionine. The evaluation of Hcy it has vital importance because its increase may cause vascular damage of difficult recover. The increase of Hcy may damage several vital organs, such as the heart (arteries), liver, brain (nerves) and also articulations, causing a wide variety of diseases (coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, etc). The HHcy can’t be neglected since it may have harmful health consequences. However it can be controlled by a balanced diet and a proper supply of nutrients and vitamins by which may be evidenced in the researched studies for the completion of this article.

Full textThe involvement of Si in cardiovascular diseases has been suggested by several authors. However, only a small number of studies have investigated the Si content of human aortic tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate age- and gender-related changes in silicon levels of the human aorta. Moreover, associations were sought between silicon and structural components, e.g. elastin of the aortic wall, as to enlighten possible associations between silicon and aortic health. Forty thoracic aortas, obtained post-mortem from female and male subjects between 45 and 83 years old, were analysed for Si content and other elements (Al, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ca, K, Mg, Na and P) by ICP-OES. Elastin was quantified using a colorimetric dye-binding method Fastin™ Elastin assay. Silicon levels in the aorta samples did not vary significantly with age or gender. Relevant correlations with the Si concentration in the aorta were observed for (1) Cu in the female samples with a significant positive correlation, and (2) a negative correlation with P levels, although this was not significant. Analysis of the elastin concentration in the aorta samples revealed no gender- or age-related changes, although a trend for a decrease in older subjects (< 66 years) was observed. Elastin levels did not correlate with the Si concentrations in the aorta samples, but a negative correlation was observed with Cu in samples from female donors and with K (male and female). Additionally, Si levels in the aorta were also similar to levels analysed in skin biopsy samples (male and female: n = 47, age range = 19 – 72), where a trend for increasing Si levels with ageing was observed in female subjects. Results from the present study could be used to support the suggestion that silicon affects factors that are involved in progression of aortic stiffness, including the utilization of copper, essential in preventing oxidative damage to adult elastin fibres, and decreasing the adsorption of phosphorus to the matrix proteins and thereby prevent the calcification of the aortic wall.
O envolvimento do silício em doenças cardiovasculares, particularmente aterosclerose, foi sugerido por vários autores. No entanto, apenas um número reduzido de estudos investigaram a concentração de Si em aortas humanas. Este estudo teve como objectivo investigar alterações no conteúdo de Si e elastina com a idade e sexo em amostras de aortas humanas. Foram também investigadas correlações entre as concentrações de silício e elastina. Silício e outros elementos (Al, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ca, K, Mg, Na e P) foram quantificados, através de ICP-OES, em 40 aortas torácicas, obtidas post-mortem de indivíduos de sexo masculino e feminino com idades compreendidas entre os 54 e 83 anos. O conteúdo de elastina destas amostras foi determinado através do método colorimétrico Fastin™ Elastin assay. Não foram observadas correlações significativas entre a concentração de Si nas amostras de aorta com a idade ou sexo dos indivíduos. Correlações entre a concentração de Si e outros elementos foram também investigadas e, para além de uma correlação positiva e significativa, observada entre Si e Cu em amostras provenientes de indivíduos do sexo feminino, foi também identificada uma correlação negativa entre Si e P, embora não significantiva. A quantificação de elastina nas amostras de aorta não demonstrou alterações significantivas com a idade ou sexo dos pacientes, no entanto foi observado um decréscimo na concentração de elastina em individuos de idade avançada (< 66 anos). Correlações negativas relevantes foram observadas entre a elastina e K, e entre elastina e Cu em amostras de indivíduos do sexo feminino. Não foram identificadas correlações significativas entre a concentração de elastina e Si nas amostras de aorta analisadas. Adicionalmente, a concentração de Si na aorta humana foi semelhante à quantidade determinada em amostras de biópsias da pele humana (indivíduos do sexo feminino e masculino: n = 47, faixa etária = 19 – 72), onde foi observada uma tendência para o aumento da concentração de Si com o envelhecimento em indivíduos do sexo feminino. Os resultados deste estudo poderão ser usados para apoiar a hipótese de que o Si interage com factores que estão envolvidos no envelhecimento vascular e progressivo aumento da rigidez da aorta. Estes incluém a utilização de cobre, essencial na prevenção de danos oxidativos em fibras elásticas maduras (elastina), e também a diminuição da absorção de fósforo em proteínas da matriz extracelular, consequentemente, impedindo a calcificação da parede da aorta.
