| Abstract | Left common carotid arteries of New Zealand white rabbits were ligated rostral to origin of the thyroid artery to reduce flow in the carotid upstream of this branch, and the vessels were examined 5 days later. Estimates of mean shear stress in the upstream carotid artery indicated a decrease of 73% (from 12.1 +/- 1.6 dynes/cm2 to 3.26 +/- 0.58 dynes/cm2). The contralateral common carotid artery carried collateral flow and experienced a 170% increase in shear stress (from 11.3 +/- 1.6 dynes/cm2 to 30.5 +/- 4.6 dynes/cm2). There was an adaptive reduction in the diameter in the left common carotid artery (low shear) from 2.07 +/- 0.06 mm to 1.75 +/- 0.12 mm, but the diameter of the right carotid was unchanged. Fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy of endothelium exposed to low shear revealed attachment of leukocytes (5.02 +/- 1.59 cells/mm2, mean +/- SE) that were identified as monocytes using the monoclonal antibody HAM 56. Laser confocal microscopy demonstrated that they were migrating across the endothelial cell monolayer. Fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy of left common carotid artery (low shear) also revealed cell morphology suggestive of endothelial cell desquamation. Endothelial cell loss was confirmed by morphometric determination of cell number (1.29 +/- 0.13 x 10(4) cells/mm length in experimental animals versus 1.71 +/- 0.08 x 10(4) cells/mm length in sham-operated animals). This endothelial cell loss may be an adaptation to a narrowing of carotid arteries exposed to low shear, which reduces luminal surface area of the vessel. Staining of F-actin with rhodamine phalloidin showed that endothelial cells exposed to low shear were less elongated and had fewer stress fibers than normal cells. By contrast, increasing shear stress by two- to threefold caused an increase in the number of stress fibers and a reduction in peripheral actin staining. Distal carotid ligation provided a consistent and well-defined in vivo technique for manipulating shear stresses imposed on a large population of endothelial cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
