Oxygen Uptake Efficiency Slope is Strongly Correlated to VO<sub>2peak</sub> Long-Term After Arterial Switch Operation.
Terol Espinosa de Los Monteros C, Van der Palen RLF, Hazekamp MG, Rammeloo L, Jongbloed MRM, Blom NA, Harkel ADJT
After the arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA), many patients have an impaired exercise tolerance. Exercise tolerance is determined with cardiopulmonary exercise testing by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Unlike VO2peak, the oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) does not require a maximal effort for interpretation. The value of OUES has not been assessed in a large group of patients after ASO. The purpose of this study was to determine OUES and VO2peak, eva...

Bracco Gartner TCL, Stein JM, Muylaert DEP, Bouten CVC, Doevendans PA, Khademhosseini A, Suyker WJL, Sluijter JPG, Hjortnaes J
In heart failure, cardiac fibrosis is the result of an adverse remodeling process. Collagen is continuously synthesized in the myocardium in an ongoing attempt of the heart to repair itself. The resulting collagen depositions act counterproductively, causing diastolic dysfunction and disturbing electrical conduction. Efforts to treat cardiac fibrosis specifically have not been successful and the molecular etiology is only partially understood. The differentiation of quiescent cardiac fibroblasts...

Er A, Çağlar A, Kuyum P, Akgül F, Ulusoy E, Çitlenbik H, Aksoy BY, Yilmaz D, Arslan N, Duman M
Abstract: Acquired coagulopathy is a rare but challenging diagnosis for pediatric emergency physicians. Although the coagulopathy usually presents with mild skin and mucosal hemorrhages, it also can lead to life-threatening events. Thus, accurate interpretation of hints obtained from a detailed history, physical examination, and laboratory findings is essential for the prompt diagnosis and management. This case demonstrates an uncommon cause of coagulopathy; celiac disease that presented with sp...

P300/CBP Associated Factor (PCAF) Deficiency Enhances Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis in ApoE3<sup>*</sup>Leiden Mice via Systemic Inhibition of Regulatory T Cells.
de Jong A, de Jong RCM, Peters EA, Arens R, Jukema JW, de Vries MR, Quax PHA
Background: Inflammatory stimuli induced by NF-kB drive atherosclerotic lesion formation. The epigenetic P300/CBP associated factor (PCAF) post-transcriptionally acetylates FoxP3, which is required for regulatory T-cell (Treg) differentiation and immune modulation. We hypothesize that PCAF deficiency affects atherosclerosis via regulation of regulatory Tregs. Method: ApoE3*Leiden (n = 13) and ApoE3*LeidenxPCAF-/- (n = 13) were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) containing 1.25% cholesterol. Systemic FoxP...
