Assessment of left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction with 16-slice multi-slice computed tomography; comparison with 2D-echocardiography.
Schuijf JD, Bax JJ, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ, Salm LP, de Roos A, van der Wall EE
Background: In recent years, multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) has emerged as a rapidly expanding modality for non-invasive assessment of coronary artery disease. Simultaneously, left ventricular (LV) function can be evaluated although this is not yet a routine component of an MSCT examination. Accordingly, the purpose of the present study was to validate assessment of LV function with MSCT using 2D-echocardiography in a large cohort of patients. Methods: In 70 patients (57 male, 13 female)...

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis: is there something different in the younger children?
Yilmaz D, Aydin OF, Senbil N, Yuksel D
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a rare, slow viral infection caused by a defective measles virus. Although it is a rare disease, it is still important in developing countries. The onset is generally between the ages of 5-15 years. We reported the clinical and laboratory profile and nature of 9 patients under the age of 4 years with SSPE. Although it is known that a few patients with SSPE have an acute and rapidly fulminating course, in this study rate of progression was rapidly progressiv...

Anti-MCP-1 gene therapy inhibits vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation and attenuates vein graft thickening both in vitro and in vivo.
Schepers A, Eefting D, Bonta PI, Grimbergen JM, de Vries MR, van Weel V, de Vries CJ, Egashira K, van Bockel JH, Quax PH
Objective: Because late vein graft failure is caused by intimal hyperplasia (IH) and accelerated atherosclerosis, and these processes are thought to be inflammation driven, influx of monocytes is one of the first phenomena seen in IH, we would like to provide direct evidence for a role of the MCP-1 pathway in the development of vein graft disease. Methods and results: MCP-1 expression is demonstrated in various stages of vein graft disease in a murine model in which venous interpositions are pla...

[Intramyocardial injection of autologous bone-marrow stem cells in a 74-year-old man with untreatable angina pectoris and demonstrated myocardial ischaemia].
Beeres SL, Bax JJ, Stokkel MP, Fibbe WE, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Atsma DE
For a 74-year-old man with angina pectoris and demonstrated myocardial ischaemia, optimal medical treatment was insufficient. He was ineligible for coronary revascularization. To improve myocardial perfusion, autologous bone-marrow stem cells were injected into the ischaemic myocardium. During the months following the injection, the frequency of angina attacks decreased and myocardial perfusion and cardiac function improved.

The effect of lung inflation on absolute ventricular volume measurement by conductance.
Haney MF, Steendijk P, Johansson G, Biber B
Background: Conductance catheter in vivo ventricular volume measurements during lung ventilation may provide important information on left ventricular (LV) function. Breathing potentially may alter parallel conductance (V(c)), complicating interpretation of the conductance-derived volume signals. The effects of controlled positive pressure lung inflation (PPLI) on measured parallel conductance with dual-field conductance volumetry were investigated. Methods: Eight anaesthetized pigs were instrum...

Advances in the noninvasive evaluation of coronary artery disease with multislice computed tomography.
Pundziute G, Schuijf JD, Jukema JW, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Current noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is based on the demonstration of ischemia using stress-rest imaging, which is an indirect way of identifying CAD by demonstration of the hemodynamic consequences, rather than direct visualization of the obstructive lesions in the coronary arteries. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has recently emerged as an extremely rapidly developing noninvasive imaging modality, which allows anatomical imaging of the coronary arteries or noni...

Improvement in bronchodilation following deep inspiration after a course of high-dose oral prednisone in asthma.
Slats AM, Sont JK, van Klink RH, Bel EH, Sterk PJ
Background: Bronchodilation following deep inspiration is usually impaired in patients with asthma. This might be due to changes in airway mechanics in the presence of inflammation or structural changes within the airways. Although inhaled corticosteroid treatment has been shown to improve airway responses to deep inspiration in patients with asthma, airway inflammation can persist despite inhaled corticosteroid treatment, and thus could still influence the airway mechanics during deep breaths....

Differential binding of replication proteins across the human c-myc replicator.
Ghosh M, Kemp M, Liu G, Ritzi M, Schepers A, Leffak M
The binding of the prereplication complex proteins Orc1, Orc2, Mcm3, Mcm7, and Cdc6 and the novel DNA unwinding element (DUE) binding protein DUE-B to the endogenous human c-myc replicator was studied by chromatin immunoprecipitation. In G(1)-arrested HeLa cells, Mcm3, Mcm7, and DUE-B were prominent near the DUE, while Orc1 and Orc2 were least abundant near the DUE and more abundant at flanking sites. Cdc6 binding mirrored that of Orc2 in G(1)-arrested cells but decreased in asynchronous or M-ph...

High-dose beta-blockers and tight heart rate control reduce myocardial ischemia and troponin T release in vascular surgery patients.
Feringa HH, Bax JJ, Boersma E, Kertai MD, Meij SH, Galal W, Schouten O, Thomson IR, Klootwijk P, van Sambeek MR, Klein J, Poldermans D
Background: Adverse perioperative cardiac events occur frequently despite the use of beta (beta)-blockers. We examined whether higher doses of beta-blockers and tight heart rate control were associated with reduced perioperative myocardial ischemia and troponin T release and improved long-term outcome. Methods and results: In an observational cohort study, 272 vascular surgery patients were preoperatively screened for cardiac risk factors and beta-blocker dose. Beta-blocker dose was converted to...

Assessment of global and regional left ventricular function and volumes with 64-slice MSCT: a comparison with 2D echocardiography.
Henneman MM, Schuijf JD, Jukema JW, Holman ER, Lamb HJ, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Background: In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), LV function and volumes are important parameters for long-term prognosis. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) allows noninvasive assessment of the coronary arteries, but the accuracy of 64-slice MSCT for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) volumes and function is unknown. Methods and results: A head-to-head comparison between 64-slice MSCT and 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography was performed in 40 patients with known or suspected...

Prognostic value of exercise stress technetium-99m-tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with normal baseline electrocardiograms.
Elhendy A, Schinkel AF, van Domburg RT, Bax JJ, Valkema R, Huurman A, Feringa HH, Poldermans D
Exercise stress electrocardiography is the recommended method for cardiac evaluation of patients with normal electrocardiograms (ECGs). There are no data to indicate an independent value of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in predicting mortality in these patients. This study assessed the value of exercise stress MPI in predicting mortality in patients with normal baseline ECGs. We studied 319 patients (55 +/- 10 years of age; 180 men) with normal ECGs by exercise stress technetium-99m tetrofo...

Elucidation of the spatial ventricular gradient and its link with dispersion of repolarization.
Draisma HH, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE, Swenne CA
The ventricular gradient, a notion conceived by Wilson et al during the 1930s, has contributed considerably to a better understanding of the ECG manifestations of the cardiac repolarization process. The power of the ventricular gradient is its ability to assess the primary factors that contribute to the T wave (i.e., heterogeneity of action potential morphology throughout the ventricles) in the presence of secondary factors contributing to the T wave (i.e., heterogeneity in ventricular depolariz...

Human T-cell responses to 25 novel antigens encoded by genes of the dormancy regulon of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Leyten EM, Lin MY, Franken KL, Friggen AH, Prins C, van Meijgaarden KE, Voskuil MI, Weldingh K, Andersen P, Schoolnik GK, Arend SM, Ottenhoff TH, Klein MR
The dormancy (DosR) regulon of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is expressed in vitro during hypoxia and low-dose nitric oxide stimulation. Tubercle bacilli are thought to encounter these conditions in humans during latent infection. In this study, immune responses were evaluated to 25 most strongly induced DosR-regulon-encoded proteins, referred to as latency antigens. Proliferation assays were performed using M. tuberculosis-specific T-cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from tu...
