Age-related differences in invasive treatment of peripheral arterial disease: disease severity versus social support as determinants.
Aquarius AE, Denollet J, Hamming JF, De Vries J
Objective: Social support may influence the seeking of appropriate treatment. We examined social support and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) severity as determinants of treatment for PAD in younger and older patients. Methods: Consecutive PAD patients (N=203) completed the Perceived Social Support Scale. Treadmill-walking distance and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) were measured. The main outcome was invasive treatment for PAD in the year following diagnosis. Results: During follow-up, 4...

Simultaneous estimation of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions for numerous loci using double penalized log-likelihood.
Tanck MW, Jukema JW, Zwinderman AH
Many common human diseases are considered to be caused by complex multifactorial processes. For these diseases, it is expected that numerous genetic and environmental factors and, possibly, their interactions play a role. Therefore, simultaneously analyzing the effects of numerous genes and environmental factors is a more realistic approach compared to single gene analyses, but the large number of genes and environmental factors pose a challenge, not in the least due to the limitations created b...

Recombinant production and structural studies of the Aplysia water-borne protein pheromone enticin indicates it has a novel disulfide stabilized fold.
Cummins SF, Xie F, Misra M, Amare A, Jakubowski JA, de Vries MR, Sweedler JV, Nagle GT, Schein CH
Enticin is one of three Aplysia proteins released during egg laying that act in concert with the pheromone attractin to attract other Aplysia and stimulate mating behavior. Whereas the enticin cDNA predicts a 69-residue mature protein, enticin isolated from the albumen gland was found to be posttranslationally processed in vivo by cleavage at Arg(50) residue to generate a smaller 49-residue mature peptide. The Arg(50) cleavage site is conserved in enticin from both Aplysia californica and Aplysi...

Epicardium-derived cells are important for correct development of the Purkinje fibers in the avian heart.
Eralp I, Lie-Venema H, Bax NA, Wijffels MC, Van Der Laarse A, Deruiter MC, Bogers AJ, Van Den Akker NM, Gourdie RG, Schalij MJ, Poelmann RE, Gittenberger-De Groot AC
During embryonic development, the proepicardial organ (PEO) grows out over the heart surface to form the epicardium. Following epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, epicardium-derived cells (EPDCs) migrate into the heart and contribute to the developing coronary arteries, to the valves, and to the myocardium. The peripheral Purkinje fiber network develops from differentiating cardiomyocytes in the ventricular myocardium. Intrigued by the close spatial relationship between the final destinations...

Genetic factors appear to be important in the process of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as in inflammation, a pivotal factor in restenosis. An important mediator in the inflammatory response is interleukin (IL)-10. Our aim was to study whether genetic variants in IL-10 predispose to the risk of restenosis. The GENetic DEterminants of Restenosis (GENDER) study included 3104 patients treated with successful PCI. Target vessel revascularization (TVR) was chosen a...

Inhibition of neointima formation by local delivery of estrogen receptor alpha and beta specific agonists.
Krom YD, Pires NM, Jukema JW, de Vries MR, Frants RR, Havekes LM, van Dijk KW, Quax PH
Objective: Neointima formation is the underlying mechanism of (in-stent) restenosis. 17beta-Estradiol (E2) is known to inhibit injury-induced neointima formation and post-angioplasty restenosis. Estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) has been demonstrated to mediate E2 anti-restenotic properties. However, the role of estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) is not fully elucidated. In the present study, the specific role of vascular ERalpha and ERbeta in neointima formation is assessed. Methods and results: N...

Relative merits of M-mode echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging for prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure secondary to ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Bleeker GB, Schalij MJ, Boersma E, Holman ER, Steendijk P, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
M-mode echocardiography (using the septal-to-posterior wall motion delay [SPWMD]) and color-coded tissue Doppler imaging (TDI; using the septal-to-lateral delay in peak systolic velocity) have been proposed for assessment of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, a head-to-head comparison between M-mode echocardiography and color-coded TDI was performed for assessment of LV dyssynchrony and prediction of response t...
