Successful emergency stenting of acute ruptured false iliac aneurysm.
Bierdrager E, Lohle PN, Schoemaker CM, Lampmann LE, van Berge Henegouwen DP, Hamming JF
A 75-year-old man complaining of acute abdominal pain, 1 month after elective surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm by an aortabi-iliac bypass graft, was referred and admitted to the emergency room. Imaging by sonography and computed tomography scan revealed a ruptured iliac pseudoaneurysm at the right iliac anastomotic site with associated large retroperitoneal hematoma. We inserted a self-expanding covered Z-stent graft by a transfemoral approach and the iliac anastomotic pseudoaneur...

Beta-glucuronidase-mediated drug release.
de Graaf M, Boven E, Scheeren HW, Haisma HJ, Pinedo HM
The selective activation of a relatively non-toxic prodrug by an enzyme present only in the tumour should enhance the drug concentration at the tumour site and result in a better anti-tumour effect and a reduction in systemic toxicity as compared to conventional chemotherapy. beta-Glucuronidase is such an enzyme. It is normally expressed in the lysosomes of cells. In larger tumours, however, high levels of the enzyme are present in necrotic areas. Several glucuronide prodrugs have been synthesis...

Calcium sensitizer EMD 57033, but not the beta1-adrenoreceptor agonist dobutamine, increases mechanical efficiency in stunned myocardium.
Trines SA, Smits CA, van der Moer J, Slager CJ, Verdouw PD, Krams R
External work, efficiency of energy transfer (EET), and mechanical efficiency (defined as the ratio of external work over myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) are reduced in stunned myocardium. We therefore evaluated how inotropic stimulation by dobutamine and the calcium sensitizer EMD 57033 affected the regional stress-strain relationship as, from which contractility (E(es)), external work at the working point (EWwp), maximal external work (EWmax), EETwp (%), and EETmax are determined. Thirty...

Noninvasive and invasive evaluation of noncompaction cardiomyopathy.
Bax JJ, Atsma DE, Lamb HJ, Rebergen SA, Bootsma M, Voogd PJ, Somer S, Schalij MJ, de Roos A, van der Wall EE
Noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a recently described rare congenital cardiomyopathy; patients can be asymptomatic or develop diastolic and/or systolic left ventricular dysfunction with heart failure, systemic emboli or ventricular arrhythmias. Long-term prognosis is poor. Currently, diagnosis is based on findings on 2D echocardiography; in the current case report we demonstrate the use of MRI to diagnose noncompaction cardiomyopathy.

Biventricular systolic function in young lambs subject to chronic systemic right ventricular pressure overload.
Leeuwenburgh BP, Helbing WA, Steendijk P, Schoof PH, Baan J
In various clinical situations of congenital heart disease, the right ventricle (RV) is subject to a chronic systemic pressure overload which affects biventricular function and may progress to the development of RV failure. Young lambs (2-3 wk old) underwent adjustable pulmonary artery banding (PAB) at systemic (aortic) level for 8 wk. Biventricular function was determined by using load-independent indexes of global ventricular contractile performance by the end-systolic pressure-volume relation...

Safety of statins in the new millennium.
Jukema JW, Lansberg PJ
Looking at the world today and six months ago in retrospect, it becomes clear that things have changed dramatically. Not only are global economic forecasts in turmoil, other certainties have also been proven to be not as steadfast as we had hoped and expected. Safety in the world has gained a different perspective since the assault on the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon. The safety of medicine and especially statins has also become an issue since the withdrawal...

Prolonged cardiac recovery from exercise in asymptomatic adults late after atrial correction of transposition of the great arteries: evaluation with magnetic resonance flow mapping.
Roest AA, Kunz P, Helbing WA, Lamb HJ, Vliegen HW, van den Aardweg JG, Ruitenberg Q, de Roos A, van der Wall EE
After atrial correction of transposition of the great arteries (TGA), dysfunction of the systemic right ventricle at rest and during exercise has been reported. Information on changes in systemic right ventricular function during recovery from exercise is lacking. This study evaluates cardiac recovery from supine exercise using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients with asymptomatic TGA after atrial correction. Flow in the ascending aorta, representing stroke volume of the systemic ventric...

Enhancing filtration rates by the use of blood flow around the capillaries of plasmafilters: an in vitro study.
Unger JK, Janssen VR, Kashefi A, Haltern C, Klosterhalfen B, Fischer Y, Gressner AM, Rossaint R
As the low clearance rate of plasmaseparation limits its use in the treatment of patients suffering from liver failure, sepsis or MOF, we intend to develop strategies for a plasmaseparation unit which increases plasmafiltration rates. Our first question focused on whether commercially available plasmaseparation filters, and in particular their membranes, are suitable for the inversion of blood and plasma compartments. This experimental study was performed using in vitro systems. Commercially ava...

Highly efficient targeted transduction of undifferentiated human hematopoietic cells by adenoviral vectors displaying fiber knobs of subgroup B.
Knaän-Shanzer S, Van Der Velde I, Havenga MJ, Lemckert AA, De Vries AA, Valerio D
Human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are poorly transduced by vectors based on adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5). This is primarily due to the paucity of the coxsackievirus-Ad receptor on these cells. In an attempt to change the tropism of Ad5, we constructed a series of chimeric E1-deleted Ad5 vectors in which the shaft and knob of the capsid fibers were exchanged with those of other Ad serotypes. In all these vectors, the Ad E1 region was replaced by an expression cassette containing the cytomegalo...

Basic domains target protein subunits of the RNase MRP complex to the nucleolus independently of complex association.
van Eenennaam H, van der Heijden A, Janssen RJ, van Venrooij WJ, Pruijn GJ
The RNase MRP and RNase P ribonucleoprotein particles both function as endoribonucleases, have a similar RNA component, and share several protein subunits. RNase MRP has been implicated in pre-rRNA processing and mitochondrial DNA replication, whereas RNase P functions in pre-tRNA processing. Both RNase MRP and RNase P accumulate in the nucleolus of eukaryotic cells. In this report we show that for three protein subunits of the RNase MRP complex (hPop1, hPop4, and Rpp38) basic domains are respon...

Influence of clenbuterol treatment during six weeks of chronic right ventricular pressure overload as studied with pressure-volume analysis.
Hon JK, Steendijk P, Petrou M, Wong K, Yacoub MH
Objectives: Chronic pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy produces ventricular dysfunction. There is evidence that clenbuterol, a beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist, produces cardiac hypertrophy with preserved function in rodents. We sought to determine the cardiac hypertrophic effects of clenbuterol on the thin-walled ventricles of large animals undergoing chronic pressure overload by means of pulmonary artery banding. Methods: Right ventricular pressure-volume loops were obtained in open-chest sheep...
