Early atherosclerosis, or atherogenesis, is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of plasma-borne macromolecules (e.g.,
LDL) in the arterial intima. The change of barrier characteristics of tissue in the arterial wall requires evaluation of macromolecular
transport across the endothelial cell layer (ECL) and internal elastic lamina (IEL), the luminal and abluminal boundaries
of the arterial intima, respectively. In this study, alternative mathematical models are derived from dynamic mass balances
to describe macromolecular transport across the arterial wall. One model considers each medial layer as a spatially lumped
compartment, whereas another model consists of a spatially lumped intima and spatially distributed media. Model simulations
of a tracer concentration distribution in the arterial wall are compared with concentration distributions of horseradish peroxidase
(HRP) after i.v. injection in mice. For each model, optimal parameter values are obtained that yield model outputs matching
the data well for two different HRP circulation times. The model parameter estimates show that the ECL is the major barrier
for macromolecular transport across the normal arterial wall. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the parameter estimates
of the transport coefficients of the ECL and IEL are well determined. Optimal circulation times are determined and expected
to yield improved precision of parameter estimates in future experiments to reflect disease progression. 相似文献

We estimated total arterial compliance (C) in eight anesthetized mongrel dogs with (i) the area method (AM), (ii) the pulse pressure method (PPM), and (iii) the stroke volume-to-pulse pressure ratio (SV/PP). Average compliance was C_AM=1.11 ± 0.7 ml mm Hg1 using AM; CPPM=0.60 ± 0.31 ml mm Hg-1 using PPM and CSV/PP=0.87 ± 0.49 ml mm Hg-1 using SV/PP. Mean aortic pressure was 64 ± 23 mm Hg. The overall agreement between CAM and CPPM was relatively poor (CAM=0.15+1.61 CPPM; r2=0.48), with a consistent overestimation of the area method with respect to the pulse pressure method. There was a significant correlation (r= -0.78) between the relative difference between PPM and AM, and the modulus of the first harmonic of the wave reflection coefficient || which was low in our dog population (0.37 ± 0.18). SV/PP overestimated PPM, but both methods were highly correlated (CSV/PP=0.06+1.60 CPPM; r2=0.97). CSV/PP and CAM were similar only for || > 0.4. The effect of isolated changes of || on PPM, AM, and SV/PP was studied using the linear wave separation technique. The area method appeared very sensitive to the wave reflection intensity. For low reflection coefficients, the diastolic wave profile was flattened and compliance was overestimated. PPM and SV/PP were relatively independent of || and remained even applicable for || = 0. We believe that the pulse pressure method is the most consistent method for the estimation of total arterial compliance in hemodynamic conditions characterized by a low wave reflection intensity. © 1999 Biomedical Engineering Society.
