Low molecular weight heparins in the treatment of lung cancer.
Mellema WW, Smit EF, Dingemans AM
Introduction: Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer-related death. Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) occur frequently in lung cancer and are a poor prognostic marker. For prevention and treatment of VTE, low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) are superior to vitamin K antagonists. There is some evidence that LMWH may improve survival in cancer patients. Areas covered: The areas covered in this review are: lung cancer and VTEs; role of LMWH in treatment of VTEs; anticancer mechanism of heparin...

Cell therapy for the treatment of chronic ischemic heart disease.
Rodrigo SF, Ramshorst Jv, Beeres SL, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ, Atsma DE
Over the last decade, much was learned about the biology of several types of stem and progenitor cells. It has become apparent that various cell sources may have the capacity to promote cardiomyogenesis and new blood vessel formation through different mechanisms, forming the rationale for cell-based therapy in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease. After initial clinical studies have provided evidence for safety of cell administration, larger randomized trials demonstrated variable effect...

Per-operative stent placement in the right pulmonary artery; a hybrid technique for the management of pulmonary artery branch stenosis at the time of pulmonary valve replacement in adult Fallot patients.
Windhausen F, Boekholdt SM, Bouma BJ, Groenink M, Backx AP, de Winter RJ, Mulder BJ, Hazekamp MG, Koolbergen DR
After having undergone surgical correction at an early age, many patients with tetralogy of Fallot develop long-term complications including progressive pulmonary regurgitation and peripheral pulmonary stenosis. A high percentage of these patients need to undergo a second operation in their adolescence or early adulthood. If simultaneous treatment of both pulmonary regurgitation and peripheral pulmonary stenosis is warranted, a complete surgical approach has several disadvantages. We describe fo...

Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibition attenuates persistent heart and lung injury by neonatal hyperoxia in rats.
de Visser YP, Walther FJ, Walther FJ, Laghmani el H, Steendijk P, Middeldorp M, van der Laarse A, Wagenaar GT
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 inhibitors are potent anti-inflammatory drugs with antihypertensive properties, and their therapeutic role in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is still controversial. We studied the role of PDE4 inhibition with piclamilast on normal lung development and its therapeutic value on pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) in neonatal rats with hyperoxia-induced lung injury, a valuable model for premature infants with severe BPD. The cardiopulmonar...

[Three-dimensional imaging in cardiac resynchronization therapy].
Auger D, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Cardiac resynchronization therapy improves clinical symptoms and prognosis of heart failure patients. However, it has been shown that up to 40% of patients do not respond to this therapy. Three main determinants of cardiac resynchronization therapy response have been identified: left ventricular dyssynchrony, left ventricular lead position, and extent and location of myocardial scar tissue. Two-dimensional echocardiography is the first imaging technique to evaluate patients who may be candidates...

Genetic variation at the SLCO1B1 gene locus and low density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering response to pravastatin in the elderly.
Akao H, Polisecki E, Kajinami K, Trompet S, Robertson M, Ford I, Jukema JW, de Craen AJ, Westendorp RG, Shepherd J, Packard C, Buckley BM, Schaefer EJ
Our goal was to determine whether genetic variation at genes affecting statin metabolism or targets of statin therapy would influence low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol lowering with pravastatin, baseline heart disease, or cardiac endpoints on trial. We examined associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the liver X receptor alpha (LXRA, rs12221497), and the solute carrier organic anion transporter (SLCO1B1, rs4149056 and rs2306283) gene loci with these variables. We studie...

High BRE expression predicts favorable outcome in adult acute myeloid leukemia, in particular among MLL-AF9-positive patients.
Noordermeer SM, Sanders MA, Gilissen C, Tönnissen E, van der Heijden A, Döhner K, Bullinger L, Jansen JH, Valk PJ, van der Reijden BA
Aberrations in protein ubiquitination have recently been identified in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We studied whether expression changes of more than 1600 ubiquitination related genes correlated with clinical outcome in 525 adult AML patients. High expression of one of these genes, BRE, was observed in 3% of the cases and predicted favorable prognosis independently of known prognostic factors (5-year overall survival: 57%). Remarkably, unsupervised expression profiling show...

Restenosis after PCI. Part 1: pathophysiology and risk factors.
Jukema JW, Verschuren JJ, Ahmed TA, Quax PH
Restenosis is a complex disease for which the pathophysiological mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated, but are thought to include inflammation, proliferation, and matrix remodeling. Over the years, many predictive clinical, biological, (epi)genetic, lesion-related, and procedural risk factors for restenosis have been identified. These factors are not only useful in risk stratification of patients, they also contribute to our understanding of this condition. Furthermore, these factors pr...
