UNASSIGNED: In the present study, we aimed to establish a @entity95 @entity731 model and examine @entity731 by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and @entity5642 ( @entity5642 ) to evaluate the clinical usefulness of these diagnostic tools in the detection of @entity731 . Twenty healthy @entity95 were fed on a high-fat diet for 4 weeks and then subjected to abdominal aortic intimal injury. The OCT and @entity5642 were performed after 8 weeks. The distal and proximal plaque images were marked to observe the plaque thickness and features of the lesions at the tunica intima and tunica media. Moreover, a pathological examination was performed to evaluate the efficacies of OCT and @entity5642 . The mean (SD) plaque thickness on OCT and @entity5642 images was 386.5 (125.3)  m and 412.7 (165.8)  m, respectively. Pathological examinations indicated a mean (SD) plaque thickness of 360.2 (98.l)  m (P > 0.05). No significant differences were noted between the 2 methods. The intimal and medial thickness measured with OCT showed greater correlation with pathologically measured thickness (r = 0.95, P < 0.001 for OCT; r = 0.88, P < 0.001 for @entity5642 ); in particular, the intimal thickness measurements on OCT showed a higher correlation (r = 0.98, P < 0.001). However, the measurements obtained using @entity5642 were not accurate. Thus, compared with @entity5642 , OCT was more accurate in determining the nature and thickness of vascular plaques.
