Blood vessels are often subjected to axial torsion (or twist) due to body movement or surgery. However, there are few studies on blood vessel under twist. This review first summarizes the clinical observation on the twist of blood vessels and then presents what we know about the mechanical behaviors of blood vessel under twist, including the constitutive models. The state of art researches on the remodeling of blood vessels under twist via organ culture, animal experiments, and mathematical model simulations are further discussed. It is our hope that this review will draw attention for further in-depth studies on the behavior and remodeling of blood vessels under twist.
由于身体运动或手术,血管经常受到轴向扭转(或扭曲)。然而,关于血管扭曲的研究很少。本文首先总结了血管扭曲的临床观察,然后介绍了我们对血管在扭曲状态下力学行为的了解,包括本构模型。进一步讨论了通过器官培养、动物实验和数学模型模拟对血管在扭曲状态下重塑的最新研究。我们希望这篇综述能引起人们对血管在扭曲状态下行为和重塑进行进一步深入研究的关注。
