Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, Volume 154, 1 1 2010, Pages A1578 [Trainee feedback: trainer assessment]. Hamming JF, de Leede BJ
The quality of medical specialty education depends highly on the trainers, i.e. the specialists. Trainees are very important in the assessment of their trainers because they continuously undergo all the important aspects of the training. Currently, periodical announced visits take place, creating a formal atmosphere. A regular, semi-structured questionnaire for the trainees would be a better way of evaluating the program. Additionally there should be a thorough follow-up leading to a system with... Abstract

Expert review of cardiovascular therapy, Volume 8, Issue 1, 1 1 2010, Pages 113-123 Transcatheter aortic valve implantation: role of multimodality cardiac imaging. Delgado V, Ng AC, Shanks M, van der Kley F, Schuijf JD, van de Veire NR, Kroft L, de Roos A, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
Current evidence based on more than 8000 high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis has demonstrated that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a feasible alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in selected patients. Despite current promising results on hemodynamic and clinical improvements, there are several unresolved safety issues, such as the frequency of vascular complications, postprocedural paravalvular leak, atrioventricular heart block and stroke. Multimodality... Abstract

Journal of vascular surgery, Volume 51, Issue 2, 24 4 2009, Pages 429-437 In vivo suppression of vein graft disease by nonviral, electroporation-mediated, gene transfer of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 linked to the amino terminal fragment of urokinase (TIMP-1.ATF), a cell-surface directed matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor. Eefting D, de Vries MR, Grimbergen JM, Karper JC, van Bockel JH, Quax PH
Background: Smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and proliferation are important in the development of intimal hyperplasia, the major cause of vein graft failure. Proteases of the plasminogen activator (PA) system and of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) system are pivotal in extracellular matrix degradation and, by that, SMC migration. Previously, we demonstrated that inhibition of both protease systems simultaneously with viral gene delivery of the hybrid protein TIMP-1.ATF, consisting of the t... Abstract

Journal of virology, Volume 84, Issue 5, 23 4 2009, Pages 2533-2546 The latent origin of replication of Epstein-Barr virus directs viral genomes to active regions of the nucleus. Deutsch MJ, Ott E, Papior P, Schepers A
The Epstein-Barr virus efficiently infects human B cells. The EBV genome is maintained extrachromosomally and replicates synchronously with the host's chromosomes. The latent origin of replication (oriP) guarantees plasmid stability by mediating two basic functions: replication and segregation of the viral genome. While the segregation process of EBV genomes is well understood, little is known about its chromatin association and nuclear distribution during interphase. Here, we analyzed the... Abstract

Brain & development, Volume 32, Issue 6, 23 4 2009, Pages 467-471 Tau proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Yuksel D, Yilmaz D, Uyar NY, Senbil N, Gurer Y, Anlar B
Neurodegenerative diseases characterized by cytoskeletal deformation and neurofibrillary tangles are associated with altered levels of tau and related proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Neuronal or glial fibrillary tangles have been shown in 20% of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) patients. We therefore investigated CSF samples from 60 newly diagnosed SSPE and 31 neurological control patients for total tau (t-tau), phosphorylated tau (p-tau), and S100-B levels by ELISA. There was n...

Circulation, Volume 121, Issue 1, 21 3 2009, Pages 80-90 Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury is mediated by leukocytic toll-like receptor-2 and reduced by systemic administration of a novel anti-toll-like receptor-2 antibody. Arslan F, Smeets MB, O'Neill LA, Keogh B, McGuirk P, Timmers L, Tersteeg C, Hoefer IE, Doevendans PA, Pasterkamp G, de Kleijn DP
Background: Reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction is hampered by detrimental inflammatory responses partly via Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation. Targeting TLR signaling may optimize reperfusion therapy and enhance cell survival and heart function after myocardial infarction. Here, we evaluated the role of TLR2 as a therapeutic target using a novel monoclonal anti-TLR2 antibody. Method and results: Mice underwent 30 minutes of ischemia followed by reperfusion. Compounds were administer... Abstract
