Due to its capacity of high-throughput detection for gene expression, it is especially useful in cardiovascular disease research, in which many factors are involved and a large scale of gene expression may change. In this review the application of DNA chips to cardiovascular research and its progress as well as shortcoming are covered.展开更多

As the main source of city air pollution, particulat e matter has been demonstrated an independent correlation with incidence and mor tality of cardiovascular diseases. The mechanisms are not clear. Several plausib le mechanistic pathways have been described, including inflammation induced by o xidative stress, the followed enhanced coagulation/thrombosis resulted in instab ility of atherosclerosis, the promotion of ischemic heart diseases and imbalance of autonomic nerve tone resulted in the occurrence of arrhythmia. The article p rovides a review of the mechanisms on air pollution and cardiovascular diseases and suggestions for further research.展开更多
