Near-infrared fluorescence imaging of a solitary fibrous tumor of the pancreas using methylene blue.
van der Vorst JR, Vahrmeijer AL, Hutteman M, Bosse T, Smit VT, van de Velde CJ, Frangioni JV, Bonsing BA
A 67-year-old female presented with unexplained abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen incidentally revealed a mass in the uncinate process of the pancreas. This mass was resected and based on histopathological findings, diagnosed as a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pancreas. A SFT is an extremely rare benign mesenchymal tumor that in 65% of cases affects the visceral pleura but can also affect extra-pleural sites. The intraoperative demarcation of pancr...

We previously showed that human cardiomyocyte progenitor cells (hCMPCs) injected after myocardial infarction (MI) had differentiated into cardiomyocytes in vivo 3 months after MI. Here, we investigated the short-term (2 weeks) effects of hCMPCs on the infarcted mouse myocardium. MI was induced in immunocompromised (NOD/scid) mice, immediately followed by intramyocardial injection of hCMPCs labelled with enhanced green fluorescent protein (hCMPC group) or vehicle only (control group). Sham-operat...

Spawning migrations of the endemic Labeobarbus (Cyprinidae, Teleostei) species of Lake Tana, Ethiopia: status and threats.
Anteneh W, Getahun A, Dejen E, Sibbing FA, Nagelkerke LA, De Graaf M, Wudneh T, Vijverberg J, Palstra AP
The reproductive biology of the only known intact species flock of large cyprinids, the 16 Labeobarbus species of Lake Tana (Ethiopia), has been extensively studied for the past two decades. Seven species of Labeobarbus are known to migrate >50 km upstream into tributary rivers for spawning during the rainy season (July to October), whereas eight other species are absent from these rivers and probably developed a new strategy of lacustrine spawning (macro-spatial segregation). One species (L....

Changes in heart valve structure and function in patients treated with dopamine agonists for prolactinomas, a 2-year follow-up study.
Delgado V, Biermasz NR, van Thiel SW, Ewe SH, Marsan NA, Holman ER, Feelders RA, Smit JW, Bax JJ, Pereira AM
Objective: The use of ergot-derived dopamine agonists (DA) to treat patients with prolactinomas has not been associated with an increased risk of significant heart valve dysfunction. Accordingly, the present study evaluated whether the long-term use of DA for hyperprolactinaemia may be associated with increased risk of significant valvular heart disease. Methods: A total of 74 patients (mean age 48 ± 1·4 years, 23% male) with prolactinoma treated with DA for at least 1 year were evaluated with 2...

Sildenafil enhances systolic adaptation, but does not prevent diastolic dysfunction, in the pressure-loaded right ventricle.
Borgdorff MA, Bartelds B, Dickinson MG, Boersma B, Weij M, Zandvoort A, Silljé HH, Steendijk P, de Vroomen M, Berger RM
Aim: Right ventricular (RV) failure due to pressure or volume overload is a major risk factor for early mortality in congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension, but currently treatments are lacking. We aimed to demonstrate that the phosphodiesterase 5A inhibitor sildenafil can prevent adverse remodelling and improve function in chronic abnormal RV overload, independent from effects on the pulmonary vasculature. Methods and results: In rat models of either pressure or volume overload, we...

Genetic evolution of the neuraminidase of influenza A (H3N2) viruses from 1968 to 2009 and its correspondence to haemagglutinin evolution.
Westgeest KB, de Graaf M, Fourment M, Bestebroer TM, van Beek R, Spronken MIJ, de Jong JC, Rimmelzwaan GF, Russell CA, Osterhaus ADME, Smith GJD, Smith DJ, Fouchier RAM
Each year, influenza viruses cause epidemics by evading pre-existing humoral immunity through mutations in the major glycoproteins: the haemagglutinin (HA) and the neuraminidase (NA). In 2004, the antigenic evolution of HA of human influenza A (H3N2) viruses was mapped (Smith et al., Science 305, 371-376, 2004) from its introduction in humans in 1968 until 2003. The current study focused on the genetic evolution of NA and compared it with HA using the dataset of Smith and colleagues, updated to...

Expression of the BRCA1 complex member BRE predicts disease free survival in breast cancer.
Noordermeer SM, Wennemers M, Bergevoet SM, van der Heijden A, Tönnissen E, Sweep FC, Jansen JH, Span PN, van der Reijden BA
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in women. Recent advances in gene expression profiling have indicated that breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and the current prognostication using clinico-pathological features is not sufficient to fully predict therapy response and disease outcome. In this retrospective study, we show that expression levels of BRE, which encodes a member of the BRCA1 DNA damage repair complex, predicted disease-free survival (DFS) in non-fami...

An association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm beyond smoking: results from a case-control study.
Meijer CA, Kokje VB, van Tongeren RB, Hamming JF, van Bockel JH, Möller GM, Lindeman JH
Objectives: It is currently unclear whether the parallels between abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are explained by common risk factors alone, such as cigarette smoking, or by a predetermined cause. Given the persistent controversy with regard to the association between AAA and COPD, we studied this association in depth. Methods: We conducted a case-control study comparing patients with a small AAA (maximum infrarenal diameter 35-50 mm, n = 221)...

Normal and abnormal development of the cardiac conduction system; implications for conduction and rhythm disorders in the child and adult.
Jongbloed MR, Vicente Steijn R, Hahurij ND, Kelder TP, Schalij MJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Blom NA
The cardiac conduction system is a specialized network that initiates and closely coordinates the heart beat. Cardiac conduction system development is intricately related to the development and maturation of the embryonic heart towards its four-chambered form, as is indicated by the fact that disturbed development of cardiac structures is often accompanied by a disturbed formation of the CCS. Electrophysiological studies have shown that selected conduction disturbances and cardiac arrhythmias do...

Gap junctional coupling with cardiomyocytes is necessary but not sufficient for cardiomyogenic differentiation of cocultured human mesenchymal stem cells.
Ramkisoensing AA, Pijnappels DA, Swildens J, Goumans MJ, Fibbe WE, Schalij MJ, de Vries AA, Atsma DE
Gap junctional coupling is important for functional integration of transplanted cells with host myocardium. However, the role of gap junctions in cardiomyogenic differentiation of transplanted cells has not been directly investigated. The objective of this work is to study the role of connexin43 (Cx43) in cardiomyogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Knockdown of Cx43 gene expression (Cx43↓) was established in naturally Cx43-rich fetal amniotic membrane (AM) hMSCs, whil...
