Karate kick-induced myocardial contusion.
Doornkamp RN, van Winden DF, Buiten MS, Josephus Jitta D
Myocardial contusion should be suspected in a selected patient group with blunt thoracic trauma, who have elevated troponin, ECG changes and/or haemodynamical instability. Echocardiography is useful for direct visualisation of possible complications. In stable conditions, MRI allows for good visualisation of the heart and can confirm a suspected myocardial contusion as well as demonstrate the extent of myocardial damage. Based on the present literature, the authors developed a diagram for the di...

Myeloid PHD2 Conditional Knockout Improves Intraplaque Angiogenesis and Vascular Remodeling in a Murine Model of Venous Bypass Grafting.
Sluiter TJ, Tillie RJHA, de Jong A, de Bruijn JBG, Peters HAB, van de Leijgraaf R, Halawani R, Westmaas M, Starink LIW, Quax PHA, Sluimer JC, de Vries MR
Background: Intraplaque angiogenesis occurs in response to atherosclerotic plaque hypoxia, which is driven mainly by highly metabolically active macrophages. Improving plaque oxygenation by increasing macrophage hypoxic signaling, thus stimulating intraplaque angiogenesis, could restore cellular function and neovessel maturation, and decrease plaque formation. Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) regulate cellular responses to hypoxia. We therefore aimed to elucidate the role of myeloid PHD2, the dominant...

The antibiotic doxycycline is known to inhibit inflammation and was therefore considered as a therapeutic to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth. Yet mitochondrial dysfunction is a key-characteristic of clinical AAA disease. We hypothesize that doxycycline impairs mitochondrial function in the aorta and aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Doxycycline induced mitonuclear imbalance, reduced proliferation and diminished expression of typical contractile smooth muscle cell (SMC) proteins....
