血管外膜是组成血管的重要结构 ,但是对其研究多年来受到忽视。 90年代以来 ,越来越多的研究指出外膜不仅同血管的功能调节有关。而且亦参与了动脉粥样硬化、高血压、损伤后再狭窄等多种疾病的发生和发展。本文旨在就近年血管外膜功能的研究进展及其与心脑血管的关系作一阐述。 Vascular adventitia constitute an important structure of blood vessels, but their research has been neglected for many years. Since the 1990s, more and more studies have pointed out that the outer membrane is not only related to the regulation of blood vessels. But also involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, restenosis after injury. The purpose of this paper is to describe the recent progress of vascular adventitia and its relationship with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
