The migration of endothelial cell induced by fluid shear stress is related to many physiological and pathological responses in organism.The redistribution of membrane receptors and proteins,caused by shear stress,is a vital step for cell migration,followed by chemical reactions and signal transduction.Then cell morphological changes are induced,such as polarity,protrusion,and adhesion,which lead to the migration of endothelial cell at last.The goal of this paper is to review what is known about the mechanical models of endothelial cell migration and the responses of cells to fluid flow.It is helpful for better understanding the intrinsic mechanism of mechano-chemical signal pathway of the migration of endothelial cells induced by fluid shear stress.

Dysfunctions of vascular endothelial permeability are related to a number of human diseases such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, stroke, inflammation, cancer, diabetes-induced retinopathy, macular edema and so on. Shear stress is an important mechanical force that affects vascular endothelial cells. It plays a particular role in permeability regulation. Rho GTPases is a family of small G proteins which act as cell signal molecules. They are assumed to mediate the regulation of the permeability of vascular endothelial cells. In this paper review is given on how shear stress regulates the permeability of vascular endothehal cells as well as the in-fluence of Rho GTPases on the role in molecular mechanism. It is suggested that shear stress-regulated vascular endothelial permeability is mediated by Rho GTPases.

Luminal surface of vascular endothelium is decorated with a variety of polysaccharide-protein complexes,which constitute the glycocalyx.It has been demonstrated that vascular endothelial glycocalyx plays an important role in modulation of selective permeability of vessels,mediation of the blood cell-endothelial cell interactions and the release of nitric oxide induced by fluid shear stress under physiological condition.In inflammation condition,sheding of glycocalyx due to inflammation mediator leads to its functional weakening in vessel protection.At the same time,heparan sulfate as a major constituent of vascular endothelial glycocalyx could be involved in regulating the evolution of inflammation.Heparan sulfate interacts with L-selectin to mediating leukocyte rolling,presents chemokines on luminal surfaces of endothelial cells to mediate leukocyte crawling and firm adhesion,participates in transcytosis of chemokines from tissue to luminal side of endothelial cells during inflammation.Various risk factors of atherosclerosis,as an inflammatory disease,are closely associated with vascular endothelial glycocalyx.This paper is aimed to review the role of vascular endothelial glycocalyx in inflammation and atherosclerosis.

Methods The vernier callipers were used to directly measure the every indexes of mandible and zygomatic arch in the formalin-fixed male and female adult corpses (50 each) and to proceed the related analysis. Results The results showed that male mandible thickness was (12.60?1.26) mm, mandible height (33.60?3.35) mm, mandible length (77.60?7.80) mm , width of mandible ramus (34.80?3.50) mm, height of mandible ramus (67.20?6.70) mm, depth of zygomatic arch (9.54?1.19) mm, length of zygomatic arch (40.60?4.97)mm, and thickness of mandible angle (12.20?0.67) mm in male; Mandible thickness was (10.70?0.98) mm, mandible height (29.40?2.64) mm, ramus of mandible height (74.00?7.07) mm, width of mandible (31.10?3.04) mm, height of mandible ramus (64.00?5.53) mm, depth of zygomatic arch (8.67?1.09) mm, l ength of zygomatic arch (36.50?4.59) mm, and thickness of mandible angle (13.80?1.28) mm in female. Conclusions The breadth between bilateral angle of mandible could come to reckoning the depth of zygomatic arch, the length of zygomatic arch and other indexes of mandibles. Those data are useful in aesthetics and preparation of the compound.

Coronary heart disease is a kind of heart disease that is caused by atherosclerosis. The lipid deposition in the vessel wall results in occlusion of coronary artery and stenosis, which could induce myocardial ischemia and oxygen deficiency. Intervention therapies like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary stent improve myocardial perfusion using catheter angioplasty to reduce stenosis and occlusion of coronary artery lumen. Accordingly, intervention therapies are widely applied in clinic to treat ischemic cardiovascular disease, arterial intima hyperplasia and other heart diseases, which could save the patients' life rapidly and effectively. However, these interventions also damage the original endothelium, promote acute and subacute thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia, and thus induce in-stent restenosis (ISR) eventually. Studies indicated that the rapid reendothelialization of damaged section determined postoperative effects. In this review, reendothelialization of implants after intervention therapy is discussed, including the resource of cells contributed on injured artery, the influences of implanted stents on hemodynamic, and the effects of damaged degree on reendothelialization.

To study the potential molecular mechanism of tumor angiogenesis in its microenvironment, we investigated the effects of HepG2 conditioned medium on the proliferation of vascular endothelial cell and vascular angiogenesis in our laboratory. Human umbilical vein endothelial EA. hy926 cells were co-cultured with HepG2 conditioned medium in vitro. The proliferation and the tubulogenesis of EA. hy926 cells were detected by teramethylazo salt azole (MTT) and tube formation assay, respectively. The results showed that the survival rate of the EA. hy926 cells was significantly increased under the co-culture condition. HepG2 conditioned medium also enhanced the angiogenesis ability of EA. hy926 cells. In addition, the expressions of intracellular VEGF and extracellular VEGFR (Flk-1) were regulated upward in a time-dependent manner. In conclusion, the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and Vascula angiogenesis were improved under the condition of indirect co-culture.
