SpringerPlus, Volume 4, 10 2 2015, Pages 336 Myocardial infarction models in NOD/Scid mice for cell therapy research: permanent ischemia vs ischemia-reperfusion. van Zuylen VL, den Haan MC, Roelofs H, Fibbe WE, Schalij MJ, Atsma DE
Myocardial infarction animal studies are used to study disease mechanisms and new treatment options. Typically, myocardial infarction (MI) is induced by permanent occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. Since in MI patients coronary blood flow is often restored new experimental models better reflecting clinical practice are needed. Here, permanent ischemia MI (PI group) was compared with transient ischemia (45 min) (IR group) in immunodeficient NOD/Scid mice. Cardiac function, infarct... Abstract

The term splenosis describes autotransplantation or implantation of ectopic splenic tissue within the abdominal cavity or in any other unusual body compartment. In addition to the diagnostic dilemma it causes, splenosis may also lead to persistence or recurrence of hematologic dysfunctions by its preserved immune activity especially in cases of splenectomy due to hematologic indications. Herein, we present a 40-year-old female who had splenectomy for idiopatic thrombocytopenic purpura, and was i... Abstract

Janssen SJ, van der Heijden AS, van Dijke M, Ready JE, Raskin KA, Ferrone ML, Hornicek FJ, Schwab JH
Background: Survival estimation guides surgical decision-making in metastatic bone disease. Traditionally, classic scoring systems, such as the Bauer score, provide survival estimates based on a summary score of prognostic factors. Identification of new factors might improve the accuracy of these models. Additionally, the use of different algorithms--nomograms or boosting algorithms--could further improve accuracy of prognostication relative to classic scoring systems. A nomogram is an extension...

American journal of hypertension, Volume 29, Issue 3, 8 2 2015, Pages 311-318 Blood Pressure Lowering Medication, Visit-to-Visit Blood Pressure Variability, and Cognitive Function in Old Age. Wijsman LW, de Craen AJ, Muller M, Sabayan B, Stott D, Ford I, Trompet S, Jukema JW, Westendorp RG, Mooijaart SP
Background: Visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) variability is associated with cognitive impairment. We assessed to what extent the association between BP variability and cognitive impairment is mediated by the association of BP lowering medication (BPLM) with both BP variability and cognition. Methods: We studied 5,606 participants from the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER). BP was measured every 3 months during 3.2 years; BP variability was defined as the SD of B... Abstract

During autumn in the temperate zone of both the new and old world, bats of many species assemble at underground sites in a behaviour known as swarming. Autumn swarming behaviour is thought to primarily serve as a promiscuous mating system, but may also be related to the localization and assessment of hibernacula. Bats subsequently make use of the same underground sites during winter hibernation, however it is currently unknown if the assemblages that make use of a site are comparable across swar... Abstract

Cardiovascular research, Volume 107, Issue 4, 3 1 2015, Pages 601-612 Forced fusion of human ventricular scar cells with cardiomyocytes suppresses arrhythmogenicity in a co-culture model. Engels MC, Askar SF, Jangsangthong W, Bingen BO, Feola I, Liu J, Majumder R, Versteegh MI, Braun J, Klautz RJ, Ypey DL, De Vries AA, Pijnappels DA
Aims: Fibrosis increases arrhythmogenicity in myocardial tissue by causing structural and functional disruptions in the cardiac syncytium. Forced fusion of fibroblastic cells with adjacent cardiomyocytes may theoretically resolve these disruptions. Therefore, the electrophysiological effects of such electrical and structural integration of fibroblastic cells into a cardiac syncytium were studied. Methods and results: Human ventricular scar cells (hVSCs) were transduced with lentiviral vectors en... Abstract

Heart and vessels, Volume 31, Issue 5, 1 1 2015, Pages 795-806 Histopathology of aortic complications in bicuspid aortic valve versus Marfan syndrome: relevance for therapy? Grewal N, Franken R, Mulder BJ, Goumans MJ, Lindeman JH, Jongbloed MR, DeRuiter MC, Klautz RJ, Bogers AJ, Poelmann RE, Groot AC
Patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) are more prone to develop aortic dilation and dissection compared to persons with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). To elucidate potential common and distinct pathways of clinical relevance, we compared the histopathological substrates of aortopathy. Ascending aortic wall biopsies were divided in five groups: BAV (n = 36) and TAV (n = 23) without and with dilation and non-dilated MFS (n = 8). General histologic featu... Abstract
