Adenoviral vector-mediated expression of a gene encoding secreted, EpCAM-targeted carboxylesterase-2 sensitises colon cancer spheroids to CPT-11.
Oosterhoff D, Overmeer RM, de Graaf M, van der Meulen IH, Giaccone G, van Beusechem VW, Haisma HJ, Pinedo HM, Gerritsen WR
CPT-11 (irinotecan or 7-ethyl-10[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino] carbonyloxycamptothecin) is an anticancer agent in use for the treatment of colon cancer. In order to be fully active, CPT-11 needs to be converted into SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin) by the enzyme carboxylesterase (CE). In humans, only a minority of CPT-11 is converted to SN-38. To increase the antitumour effect of CPT-11 by gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy, we constructed a replication-deficient adenoviral vector Ad.C2...

Noninvasive coronary imaging and assessment of left ventricular function using 16-slice computed tomography.
Schuijf JD, Bax JJ, Salm LP, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ, van der Wall EE, de Roos A
In recent years, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has been demonstrated to be a feasible imaging modality for noninvasive coronary angiography and left ventricular function analysis. The present study evaluated overall performance of 16-slice MSCT in the detection of significant coronary artery disease, stent, or bypass graft stenosis in combination with global left ventricular function analysis. Forty-five patients underwent 16-slice MSCT. Multislice computed tomograms were used to evaluat...

Impaired health status and invasive treatment in peripheral arterial disease: a prospective 1-year follow-up study.
Aquarius AE, Denollet J, Hamming JF, Breek JC, De Vries J
Objective: It has been argued that health status and quality of life (QOL) should be taken into account in the treatment policy of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In cardiac patients, it has been shown that poor perceived health status is an independent predictor of mortality and hospitalization. We therefore examined (1) the role of health status, QOL, and clinical indices of disease severity as determinants of invasive treatment in patients with PAD and (2) the effect of invas...

-455G/A polymorphism and preprocedural plasma levels of fibrinogen show no association with the risk of clinical restenosis in patients with coronary stent placement.
Monraats PS, Rana JS, Zwinderman AH, de Maat MP, Kastelein JP, Agema WR, Doevendans PA, de Winter RJ, Tio RA, Waltenberger J, Frants RR, van der Laarse A, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW
The effect of preprocedural fibrinogen levels on in-stent restenosis is largely unknown. The -455G/A polymorphism of the fibrinogen beta-gene is associated with baseline plasma level or acute phase increase of fibrinogen. Therefore, we hypothesized that there is a relationship between this polymorphism and preprocedural fibrinogen level and clinical restenosis at follow-up among patients with coronary stent placement. The GENetic DEterminants of Restenosis (GENDER) project is a multicenter follo...

Noninvasive visualization of the cardiac venous system using multislice computed tomography.
Jongbloed MR, Lamb HJ, Bax JJ, Schuijf JD, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
Objectives: We sought to evaluate the value of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) to depict the cardiac venous anatomy. Background: During cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), left ventricular (LV) pacing is established by a pacemaker lead in a tributary of the coronary sinus (CS). Knowledge of the CS anatomy and variations may facilitate the implantation of LV leads. Methods: The MSCT scans of 38 patients (34 men; age 60 +/- 12 years) were studied. Anatomical variants were divided in thr...

Drug-eluting stents: results, promises and problems.
van der Hoeven BL, Pires NM, Warda HM, Oemrawsingh PV, van Vlijmen BJ, Quax PH, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW
In-stent restenosis is the major drawback of percutaneous coronary interventions, occurring in 10-40% of the patients. Recently, new stents have emerged which are loaded with anti-inflammatory, anti-migratory, anti-proliferative or pro-healing drugs. These drugs are supposed to inhibit inflammation and neointimal growth and subsequently in-stent restenosis. In this review article the results of human clinical studies investigating drug-eluting stents are discussed from a clinical point of view,...

Assessment of myocardial viability by nuclear imaging techniques.
Bax JJ, Poldermans D, Elhendy A, Boersma E, van der Wall EE
The assessment of myocardial viability has become important in the diagnostic and prognostic work up of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Patients with viable myocardium may benefit from revascularization in terms of improvement of function, symptoms, and prognosis. In contrast, patients without viable myocardium do not benefit and should be treated conservatively. Various nuclear imaging techniques are available.

Transfer of the full-length dystrophin-coding sequence into muscle cells by a dual high-capacity hybrid viral vector with site-specific integration ability.
Gonçalves MA, van Nierop GP, Tijssen MR, Lefesvre P, Knaän-Shanzer S, van der Velde I, van Bekkum DW, Valerio D, de Vries AA
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in the DMD gene, making it a potential target for gene therapy. There is, however, a scarcity of vectors that can accommodate the 14-kb DMD cDNA and permanently genetically correct muscle tissue in vivo or proliferating myogenic progenitors in vitro for use in autologous transplantation. Here, a dual high-capacity adenovirus-adeno-associated virus (hcAd/AAV) vector with two full-length human dystrophin-coding sequences flanked by AAV integ...

Right ventricular function late after total repair of tetralogy of Fallot.
van Straten A, Vliegen HW, Hazekamp MG, de Roos A
Over the past decades, life expectancy in patients with congenital heart disease has increased dramatically. However, serious complications may develop late after total repair in infancy. These complications are usually the result of longstanding pulmonary regurgitation, which leads to dilatation of the right ventricle and an increased risk for severe arrhythmias. Therefore lifelong follow-up in these patients is required. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is the current imaging tool of choice...

Reduction of QRS duration after pulmonary valve replacement in adult Fallot patients is related to reduction of right ventricular volume.
van Huysduynen BH, van Straten A, Swenne CA, Maan AC, van Eck HJ, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Hazekamp MG, Vliegen HW
Aims: Late after total correction, Fallot patients with a long QRS duration are prone to serious arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Pulmonary regurgitation is a common cause of right ventricular (RV) failure and QRS lengthening. We studied the effects of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) on QRS duration and RV volume. Methods and results: Twenty-six consecutive Fallot patients were evaluated both pre-operatively and 6-12 months post-operatively by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). In this stu...
