    摘要: Vascular diseases including asymptomatic atherosclerosis can be diagnosed by administering a conjugate diagnostic reagent to a patient and then detecting the location and concentration of the conjugate reagent within the patient's vascular system. The conjugate reagents have a target-seeking, biologically active molecule as one component and a labeling means capable of extracorporeal detection as the other component. The biologically active molecules (BAMs) are chosen to have affinity for structural elements of the arterial wall which are either not present in the normal wall but are found in atherosclerotic or arteritic lesions, or which are not available to the blood-borne reagent within normal arterial walls, but are exposed to the reagent in atherosclerotic or arteriotic lesions.

    摘要: Isolated polynucleotides encoding novel polypeptides which are capable of binding to native and methylated LDL (low density lipoprotein), the isolated polypeptides, called LBPs (LDL binding proteins), and biologically active fragments and analogs thereof, are described. Also described are methods for determining if an animal is at risk for atherosclerosis, methods for evaluating an agent for use in treating atherosclerosis, methods for treating atherosclerosis, and methods for treating a cell having an abnormality in structure or metabolism of LBP. Pharmaceutical compositions and vaccine compositions are also provided.

    摘要: An improved apparatus and method for measuring the diameter of an artery utilizes an ultrasonic imaging plane that is rotated slightly from the centerline of an artery to produce a "skew" image of the artery. The invention detects edge points on the image of near and far walls of the artery. It fits curves to the near and far end edge points and measures distances between the curves. Alternatively, it fits one curve to all the edge points and measures a parameter (such as minor diameter of an ellipse) of the curve. Finally, it estimates arterial diameter from the measurement.

    摘要: The atherosclerotic plaques which form arterial lesions have been found to take up lipoproteins from the blood flowing through the arteries. Accordingly, the early detection of arterial disease is accomplished by preparing an infusate composed of radiolabeled low-density lipoproteins and introducing the infusate into the patient's arterial system. A gamma radiation detector is then used to detect and quantify concentrations of the radiolabeled proteins thereby to indicate the locations and sizes of the lesions.
