December 07, 2021: Dr. Vu Thi Thom (UMP-VNU), Endothelium and Microcirculation in Noncommunicable Diseases
The endothelium is a mono-layer of cells lining the interior surface of entire vascular system. In physiological condition, the endothelium kept the intact of vessel by stabilizing the vessel permeability as a bed for multiple signaling cascades. When the endothelium injured call endothelial dysfunction, it turned to pathological condition like thrombosis, inflammation that could lead to atherosclerosis, stroke, coronary syndrome, tissue damage which are considered as noncommunicable diseases. In vascular system, the vessel included artery, vein and capillary. Small artery and vein and the capillary system were called microcirculation. The endothelium plays very important role in microcirculation when they are the functional cell layer of microcirculation. In addition, anti-platelet aggregation is considered as one of strategy to prevent multiple cardiovascular diseases and vessel complications. In this talk, I will present about endothelium, microcirculation, and the use of anti-platelet aggregation in the prevention of the non-communicable diseases.
