We have reviewed the development and current status of therapies based on exposure to
non-ionizing radiation (with a photon energy less than 10 eV) aimed at suppressing the …

Since its discovery, radiation has been used to treat numerous ailments, including many
benign conditions. The most susceptible disorders have included keloids, heterotopic bone …

Wild-type p53 (wt-p53), a key protein in cell cycle regulation, inactivates the G1 cyclins
through direct activation of p21Waf-1/Cip-1/Sdi-1. Persistent vascular smooth muscle cell …

Purpose: The major radiobiological issue in determining the rationale for the use of radiation
to inhibit vascular restenosis is the identification of the target cell (s) and/or cytokine (s) …

This is the third edition of a text which analyzes non-invasive cerebrovascular diagnostic
techniques and the design of clinical trials for the evaluation of new treatments and …

Objective: We tested the hypothesis that a venous thromboembolism to the pulmonary
arterial system (pulmonary embolism [PE]) would cause an inflammatory response within the …

Purpose: Photodynamic therapy (PDT), the light activation of photosensitizer dyes for the
production of oxygen and other free radical moieties without the generation of heat, has …

γ-Irradiation (γ-RT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are known to inhibit intimal
hyperplasia. The common mechanism is that both modalities produce free radicals, but …

Abstract Background and Objective Intimal hyperplasia (IH) leading to restenosis is a major
complication of arterial revascularization. The purpose of this study was to investigate the …

Ongoing advances in peripheral endovascular technology have been met with
disappointing results because of restenosis within the treated vessel. In particular, stent …
