The Conference on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology is a two and one-half day meeting, May 20-22, 2000, to be held in Broomfield/Denver, Colorado. This meeting is designed to be an annual meeting that will focus on new emerging research in the areas of arteriosclerosis (lipids and lipoproteins), thrombosis and vascular biology. The meeting is sponsored by the Council on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology of the American Heart Association and in its first year is co- sponsored by the North American Vascular Biology Organization. The major goal of this conference is to bring together diverse disciplines within the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology research communities to allow investigators to exchange and disseminate information and to explore areas of cross- disciplinary interest. These disciplines have long been treated as separate entities yet in reality lipid and lipoprotein functions are interwoven with thrombotic and vascular wall events and vice versa. The program is designed to encourage cross- fertilization between these disciplines by examining new and emerging areas in lipids and lipoproteins, thrombosis and vascular biology in an informal setting. Hot Topics and Plenary sessions have been designed to stimulate interdisciplinary discussions and interactions in the areas angiogenesis, PPARs in atherosclerosis, nitric oxide function, abc1 gene in HDL metabolism, molecular genetics of vascular disease, and cell biology of the vessel wall. Special sessions planned by each of the representative areas, i.e., arteriosclerosis, thrombosis and vascular biology, will provide an opportunity for oral presentations of abstracts and each session begins with a keynote talk on the topic to be given by an expert in the field. The arteriosclerosis sessions cover the areas of transgenic and adenovirus models to study lipoprotein metabolism, HDL in atherosclerosis, diet and gene contribution to dyslipidemias, and lipases in atherosclerosis. The thrombosis sessions address the areas of protein C pathways, integrin biology, platelet signaling, and humoral and cellular factors in fibrinolysis. The vascular biology sessions include endothelial cell function, smooth muscle cell pathobiology, vascular autoregulation and remodeling, and inflammation in vascular disease. The conference will foster stronger links between arteriosclerosis, thrombosis and vascular biology and provide an opportunity for investigators to discuss newly breaking information. Because of the importance for developing well-rounded new investigators in the areas of lipids and lipoproteins, thrombosis and vascular biology, a major objective is to encourage young scientists to attend the conference.

2000年5月20日至22日，举行了两天半的一日会议，在2000年5月20日至22日举行，将在科罗拉多州的Broomfield/Denver举行。 这次会议旨在是一场年度会议，将重点介绍在动脉粥样硬化（脂质和脂蛋白），血栓形成和血管生物学领域的新新兴研究。 这次会议是由美国心脏协会的动脉硬化，血栓形成和血管生物学理事会赞助的，其第一年由北美血管生物学组织共同赞助。这次会议的主要目的是将动脉硬化，血栓形成和血管生物学研究社区中的各种学科汇集在一起​​，以使研究人员能够交流和传播信息并探索跨学科兴趣的领域。 这些学科长期以来一直被视为独立的实体，但实际上脂质和脂蛋白功能与血栓形成和血管壁事件交织在一起，反之亦然。 该计划旨在通过在非正式环境中检查脂质和脂蛋白，血栓形成和血管生物学中的新和新兴区域来鼓励这些学科之间的交叉施肥。 热门主题和全体会议旨在刺激跨学科的讨论和血管生成的跨学科讨论和相互作用，动脉粥样硬化中的PPAR，一氧化氮功能，HDL代谢中的ABC1基因，血管疾病的分子遗传学以及血管壁细胞生物学的分子遗传学。 每个代表领域计划的特殊会议，即动脉硬化，血栓形成和血管生物学，将为摘要提供一个摘要的机会，每个会议始于该领域专家就主题进行主题演讲。 动脉硬化课程涵盖了转基因和腺病毒模型的领域，以研究脂蛋白代谢，在动脉粥样硬化中的HDL，饮食和基因对血脂异常的贡献以及动脉粥样硬化中的脂肪酶。 血栓形成会话涉及纤维蛋白溶解中蛋白C途径，整联蛋白生物学，血小板信号传导以及体液和细胞因子的区域。 血管生物学课程包括内皮细胞功能，平滑肌病理生物学，血管自动调节和重塑以及血管疾病的炎症。 该会议将在动脉硬化，血栓形成和血管生物学之间建立更牢固的联系，并为研究人员提供了讨论新破坏信息的机会。 由于对于在脂质和脂蛋白，血栓形成和血管生物学领域发展全面的新研究人员的重要性，因此一个主要目的是鼓励年轻科学家参加会议。
