Contemporary imaging of normal mitral valve anatomy and function.
Debonnaire P, Palmen M, Marsan NA, Delgado V
Purpose of review: Mitral valve disease is highly prevalent. Accurate characterization of normal anatomy and function of the mitral valve is crucial to understand the pathophysiology of mitral valve disease. This review summarizes recent advances in noninvasive cardiac imaging to assess normal mitral valve anatomy and function and provides an overview of the clinical applications of these novel imaging techniques in the evaluation of patients with mitral valve disease. Recent findings: Echocardi...

Construct validation of progress testing to measure knowledge and visual skills in radiology.
Ravesloot C, van der Schaaf M, Haaring C, Kruitwagen C, Beek E, Ten Cate O, van Schaik J
Background: The Dutch Radiology Progress Test (DRPT) monitors the acquisition of knowledge and visual skills of radiology residents in the Netherlands. Aim: We aimed to evaluate the quality of progress testing in postgraduate radiology training by studying the reliability of the DRPT and finding an indication for its construct validity. We expected that knowledge would increase rapidly in the first years of residency, leveling-off in later years, to allow for the development of visual skills. We...

Right ventricular ejection fraction measured by multigated planar equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography is an independent prognostic factor in patients with ischemic heart disease.
van der Maas N, Braam RL, van der Zaag-Loonen HJ, Meerman J, Cozijnsen L, Scholte AJ
Background: The number of studies on the prognostic value of the right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) is limited, whereas it is widely accepted that the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a strong prognostic factor. We assessed whether RVEF measured by multigated planar equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) is an independent prognostic factor in patients with IHD. Methods and results: We retrospectively identified 347 consec...

Value of platelet pharmacogenetics in common clinical practice of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Verschuren JJ, Boden H, Wessels JA, van der Hoeven BL, Trompet S, Heijmans BT, Putter H, Guchelaar HJ, Schalij MJ, Jukema JW
Background: Antiplatelet drug resistance is a well-known problem, causing recurrent cardiovascular events. Multiple genetic polymorphisms have been related to antiplatelet resistance by several large trials, however data from common clinical practice is limited. We examined the influence of previously described polymorphisms, related to aspirin and clopidogrel resistance, on treatment outcome in a real life unselected population of patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarct...

Objectives: Elective neck dissection is frequently performed during surgery in head and neck cancer patients. The sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure can prevent the morbidity of a neck dissection and improve lymph node staging by fine pathology. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is a promising technique to identify the sentinel lymph node (SLN) intraoperatively. This feasibility study explored the use of indocyanine green adsorbed to human serum albumin (ICG:HSA) for SLN mapping in head...

Preventing relapse in recurrent depression using mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, antidepressant medication or the combination: trial design and protocol of the MOMENT study.
Huijbers MJ, Spijker J, Donders AR, van Schaik DJ, van Oppen P, Ruhé HG, Blom MB, Nolen WA, Ormel J, van der Wilt GJ, Kuyken W, Spinhoven P, Speckens AE
Unlabelled: Background: Depression is a common psychiatric disorder characterized by a high rate of relapse and recurrence. The most commonly used strategy to prevent relapse/recurrence is maintenance treatment with antidepressant medication (mADM). Recently, it has been shown that Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is at least as effective as mADM in reducing the relapse/recurrence risk. However, it is not yet known whether combination treatment of MBCT and mADM is more effective than...

Efficient expression and purification of tag-free Epstein-Barr virus EBNA1 protein in Escherichia coli by auto-induction.
Mayer CE, Geerlof A, Schepers A
Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) is the essential Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) protein at the interface between the EBV genome and the host chromatin. It is EBNA1's task to guarantee replication and segregation of the multicopy closed circular viral genome in infected cells. While EBNA1's functions are relatively well understood, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of EBNA1 mediating chromatin tethering and DNA replication. To characterize those, purified EBNA1 would be a...

Virus discovery combining sequence unbiased amplification with next generation sequencing is now state-of-the-art. We have previously determined that the performance of the unbiased amplification technique which is operational at our institute, VIDISCA-454, is efficient when respiratory samples are used as input. The performance of the assay is, however, not known for other clinical materials like blood or stool samples. Here, we investigated the sensitivity of VIDISCA-454 with feces-suspensions...

An unanticipated copy number variant of chromosome 15 disrupting SMAD3 reveals a three-generation family at serious risk for aortic dissection.
Hilhorst-Hofstee Y, Scholte AJ, Rijlaarsdam ME, van Haeringen A, Kroft LJ, Reijnierse M, Ruivenkamp CA, Versteegh MI, Pals G, Breuning MH
Several genes involved in the familial appearance of thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (FTAAD) have been characterized recently, one of which is SMAD3. Mutations of SMAD3 cause a new syndromic form of aortic aneurysms and dissections associated with skeletal abnormalities. We discovered a small interstitial deletion of chromosome 15, leading to disruption of SMAD3, in a boy with mild mental retardation, behavioral problems and revealed features of the aneurysms-osteoarthritis syndrome (A...

The Marburg I polymorphism of factor VII activating protease is associated with low proteolytic and low pro-coagulant activity.
Etscheid M, Muhl L, Pons D, Jukema JW, König H, Kanse SM
Introduction: Factor VII activating protease (FSAP) is a plasma protease with FVII and pro-urokinase (pro-uPA) activating properties. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (Marburg I, MI) in the FSAP gene (HABP-2) leads to a low activity of the MI-FSAP towards pro-uPA, but supposedly not towards FVII and is described as a risk factor for athero-thrombosis and liver fibrosis. Recently we found, however, that FVII is an extremely poor substrate of FSAP and identified tissue factor pathway inhibit...

The effector SPRYSEC-19 of Globodera rostochiensis suppresses CC-NB-LRR-mediated disease resistance in plants.
Postma WJ, Slootweg EJ, Rehman S, Finkers-Tomczak A, Tytgat TO, van Gelderen K, Lozano-Torres JL, Roosien J, Pomp R, van Schaik C, Bakker J, Goverse A, Smant G
The potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis invades roots of host plants where it transforms cells near the vascular cylinder into a permanent feeding site. The host cell modifications are most likely induced by a complex mixture of proteins in the stylet secretions of the nematodes. Resistance to nematodes conferred by nucleotide-binding-leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) proteins usually results in a programmed cell death in and around the feeding site, and is most likely triggered by the recog...
