Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cIMT was measured using Philips Ultrasound (model HD7XE) with a 7 MHz linear transducer. The measurement was done at three segments of both the left and the right sides: a segment of 1 cm at the common carotid artery (CCA) 1 cm proximal to the flow divider, a segment of 1 cm at carotid bulb (CB) proximal to the flow divider and a segment of 1 cm at internal carotid artery (ICA) proximal to the flow divider. cIMT is defined as the mean distance between two parallel thick echoes of the double-line pattern of the far artery wall. The average of left and right CCA, CB and ICA values (in mm) for each subject was used for analysis. All measurements were performed by two qualified ultrasonographers in Tam Duc Heart hospital. The ultrasonographers were blinded to the clinical information. All images were stored as DICOM format and analysed using Philips’ QLAB 11.0 software.
In addition, atherosclerotic carotid plaques were determined at six different locations: CCA, CB and ICA on both the left and right sides. Plaque was defined as a focal thickening that encroaches into the lumen by 0.5 mm or by 50% of the surrounding IMT or where IMT is >1.5 mm. In this study, we subjectively define plaques as present or absent for analysis.

Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated Dilation Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), longitudinal images are obtained with the use of high-resolution ultrasonography (HD7XE, Phillips, USA). To do so, a high frequency transducer (3-12 MHz) records the dilatation of the brachial artery for 120 s immediately after the release from a 5-min total occlusion maneuver. The subjects are asked to fast for at least 6 h prior to the procedures. Brachial Analyzer Software (Vascular Tools, Medical Imaging Application, USA) is used to quantify changes in arterial diameter from baseline to post-cuff occlusion. Flow-mediated dilation will be calculated as the percentage change in arterial dimeter fromaverages of 10 baseline diastolic diameters and 3 maximum, systolic diameters post-cuffocclusion. In addition to the pre-and post-trial measurements, a mid-term FMD assessment is conducted during the 6th week of intervention.

Quantifying Quadriceps Muscle Thickness with Ultrasound

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The thicknesses of the quadriceps rectus femoris (QRF) and vastus intermedius (QVI) were evaluated using B-mode ultrasound (Philips HD7xe) with a high-frequency linear array transducer (7.5 MHz). All cases were examined regarding the right QRF and QVI muscle thicknesses. The patient was lying supine with extended, relaxed knees, and toes directed upward. Maximum thickness of each QVI and QRF muscle was assessed from the femur to the muscle’s inner edge and from the subcutaneous layer to the QRF muscle’s inner border, respectively. Additionally, we kept a standard level where the muscle thickness was measured, at the level of two particular landmarks, the midpoint, and the border between the upper two-thirds and the lower third between the upper pole of the patella and the superior anterior iliac spine [22 (link)]. For each individual muscle, multiple measurements were taken, and a mean was calculated and used for further analysis. Special precautions were taken in all cases, including placing the transducer perpendicular to the long axis of the thigh in a fixed orientation and using enough contact gel to guard the muscle from excessive pressure and compression.

Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated Dilatation Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This analysis will be performed by a high-resolution ultrasound of the brachial artery (vascular Doppler), which characterizes the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). FMD is expressed by changes in basal diameter in response to the increased flow and to nitroglycerin, which will be administered in a single dose (0.4 mg, sublingual spray). The equipment used will be an HD7XE (Philips, Bothell, WA, USA) with an HF transducer (3 to 12 MHz; L12-3; Philips) [25 (link)].

Penicillin and Aspirin in Vessel Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Penicillin 800,000 IU was administered intramuscularly daily for 3 days after the procedure. The animals were fed the high-lipid diet, provided with water ad libitum, and given oral acetylsalicylic acid 12.5 mg once daily during follow-up. One month after the procedure, with the animals under general anesthesia, computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed using 2.5 mL/kg nonionic iodine medium (Omnipaque, Yangzi Pharmacy Ltd., Taizhou, China) via power injection through an ear edge vein; a dual-source CT SOMATOM Definition Flash scanner (Siemens AG, Forchheim, Germany) was used for all scans (140 KV and 80 KV; automatically controlled mAs; 10-s delay). CTA data were analyzed using vascular analysis software (Syngo.via, Siemens AG). After CTA was completed, a color Doppler duplex ultrasound examination (Philips HD7 XE, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) was performed to investigate target vessel preparation with the affected limb shaved. CTA and duplex ultrasound examinations were repeated 2 months thereafter before the animals were euthanized. The patency of the target vessel, minimum luminal diameter, and velocity of blood were recorded during these examinations.

Carotid Artery Ultrasonography for Plaque Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carotid artery ultrasonography was performed using a B-mode ultrasound system (EPIQ7 or HD7XE, Philips, Amsterdam, Netherlands) with a linear array transducer (7.5–12 MHz). The examination included bilateral longitudinal and transverse scans of the distal segments of the common carotid artery, the bifurcation segments of the common carotid artery, and the proximal segments of the internal and external carotid arteries. We measured the intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque formation in the wall of the eight segments of vessels mentioned above. The presence of plaque was defined as one of the following: IMT ≥ 1.5 mm, a focal structure (≥0.5 mm) protruding into the arterial lumen, or the surrounding IMT ≥ 50% (Collaborators, 2017 (link); Dong et al., 2019 (link)).
Carotid plaque was defined as the development of at least one plaque in the eight previously plaque-free arterial segments during reexamination in 2018. To test for inter-observer reliability, plaque measurements in 25 patients were repeated after 1 week by two independent technicians and the results showed high reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.94).
