The pulsatile blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of the abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from CT-scan images is simulated, which incorporates the fluid-structure interaction (FSI). In addition to the investigation of the RAS effects on the wall shear stress and the displacement of the vessel wall, it is determined that the RAS leads to decrease in the renal mass flow. This may cause the activation of the renin-angiotension system and results in severe hypertension.展开更多

It takes a scalable multi-core architecture with hardware support for accelerating applications including X86 emulation and signal processing. This paper introduces the system architecture of Godson-3 from various aspects including system scalability, organization of memory hierarchy, network-on-chip, inter-chip connection and I/O subsystem.展开更多

Takayasu's arteritis is one of important reason for renal artery stenosis(RAS) which may result in severe hypertension. Angioplasty, preferably with stenting, is recommended in RAS secondary to atherosclerosis. However, the safety and efficacy of stent implantation is still unclear in RAS caused by Takayasu's arteritis. In order to raise the awareness for the importance of Takayasu's arteritis in renal artery disease and further to discuss the endovascular revascularization strategies, we are going to present a case report regarding RAS resulted by Takayasu's arteritis and provide a timely summary and update on current understanding.展开更多
