| Abstract | Background and aims Macrophage accumulation in arteriosclerotic plaque of coronary arteries is involved in plaque destabilization. Atherosclerosis has been known to be progressive in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This study compared the features of 3-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of macrophage accumulation within coronary artery wall between acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with DM (nā=ā20) and those without (non-DM, nā=ā20) by using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods The OCT-derived macrophage accumulation was measured within the proximal left anterior-descending artery. This measurement was performed for the whole vessel segment of interest, higher shear stress region (flow divider side) and lower shear stress region (the opposite side). Results Normalized macrophage accumulation per unit length of the whole segment of interest was significantly larger in ACS patients with DM than without. In non-DM patients, macrophage density per IVUS-derived plaque volume was significantly higher in high shear stress region compared to low shear stress region, however, there was no significant difference between the two regions in DM patients. The macrophage density in the low shear stress region was significantly higher in the DM group than in the non-DM group. A multivariate analysis showed that the presence of DM was a major determinant for macrophage distribution. Conclusions Macrophage accumulation was more abundant and homogeneous within coronary arterial wall in DM patients with ACS compared to non-DM patients, suggesting that plaque destabilization may occur more widely throughout coronary wall in DM patients. |

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.
