Interleukin-10 and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors in cerebrospinal fluid of children with bacterial meningitis.
Kornelisse RF, Savelkoul HF, Mulder PH, Suur MH, van der Straaten PJ, van der Heijden AJ, Sukhai RN, Hählen K, Neijens HJ, de Groot R
The antiinflammatory mediators interleukin (IL)-10 and soluble tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors p55 (sTNFR-55) and sTNFR-75 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 37 children with bacterial meningitis were studied. CSF concentrations of IL-10, sTNFR-55, and sTNFR-75 and of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8 were markedly elevated and were, with the exception of the sTNFRs, significantly higher in CSF than in serum. CSF concentrations of sTNFR- 55 and sTNFR-75 were only assoc...

[Reduction of cardiovascular events with pravastatin. A pooled analysis of clinical events within the scope of the Pravastatin Atherosclerosis Intervention Program].
Byington RP, Jukema JW, Salonen JT, Pitt B, Bruschke AV, Hoen H, Furberg CD, Mancini GB
Background: It has been documented that the HMG coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, or statins, can decrease cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with clinical coronary disease and moderately to severely elevated lipid levels. Additional data are required to demonstrate a reduction of vascular events in coronary patients with less than severely elevated lipid levels and in subgroups of this population. Methods and results: Clinical data from four atherosclerosis regression trials that ev...

Evidence for a synergistic effect of calcium channel blockers with lipid-lowering therapy in retarding progression of coronary atherosclerosis in symptomatic patients with normal to moderately raised cholesterol levels. The REGRESS Study Group.
Jukema JW, Zwinderman AH, van Boven AJ, Reiber JH, Van der Laarse A, Lie KI, Bruschke AV
To date, lipid-lowering therapy appears to be the most effective medical intervention to retard progression of coronary atherosclerosis. In spite of promising experimental results, clinical trials completed so far have failed to demonstrate that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) alone influence the evolution of established coronary atherosclerosis. To assess whether the two therapies may have an additive or synergistic beneficial effect on human atherosclerosis, we reviewed in this regard the data...

beta-Carotene absorption and cleavage in rats is affected by the vitamin A concentration of the diet.
van Vliet T, van Vlissingen MF, van Schaik F, van den Berg H
The purpose of this study was to examine whether intestinal beta-carotene cleavage activity, measured with the dioxygenase assay, is affected by vitamin A intake and whether this in vitro activity is a determinant of beta-carotene cleavage in vivo, measured in lymph-cannulated rats. Six groups of 10-20 rats were fed a diet with a low, normal or high retinyl palmitate concentration (120 RE, 1200 RE and 12,000 RE per kg, respectively) for 14 to 18 wk, either supplemented or not with 50 mg beta-car...

Assessment of acute myocardial infarction in man with magnetic resonance imaging and the use of a new paramagnetic contrast agent gadolinium-BOPTA.
Holman ER, van Rossum AC, Doesburg T, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Visser CA
To assess the feasibility of and characterize the new paramagnetic contrast agent gadolinium-BOPTA/dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA) to detect acute myocardial infarctions with MR imaging, 24 patients (53.3 +/- 8.3 yr) were examined 9.3 +/- 3.6 days after a first myocardial infarction. Short-axis T1-weighted and T2-weighted MR imaging was performed at three slice levels. T1-weighted images were obtained before, immediately after, 15, 30, and 45 min after injection. Patients received either 0.05 or 0.1 mmol...

Intravenous instrumentation alters the autonomic state in humans.
Bootsma M, Swenne CA, Lenders JW, Jacobs MC, Bruschke AV
Intravascular instrumentation may induce syncope or presyncope. It is not known whether asymptomatic subjects also have autonomic reactions, albeit concealed. We addressed this issue by studying 44 healthy young male subjects of various levels of fitness, ranging from inactivity to athletic [mean maximal oxygen uptake was 49.1 (SD 10.7) ml*kg(-1)*min(-1), range 28.7-71.9 ml*kg(-1)*min(-1)]. The autonomic response to venous cannulation was quantified by measuring heart rate before cannulation (HR...

Heart rate variability during repeated incremental head-up tilt discloses time dependence of individual autonomic dynamics.
Bootsma M, Swenne CA, Bruschke AV
According to the Rosenblueth-Simeone model, the heart rate (HR) is proportional to the sympathovagal balance. The individual proportionality constant is the intrinsic HR, which can be determined only invasively. The percentage low-frequency spectral HR variability power, relative to the low- plus high-frequency spectral power (%LF) has been raised as a noninvasive alternative. We previously studied young healthy male subjects, in whom gradual autonomic changes were induced by incremental head-up...

Plant regeneration through somatic embryogenesis from callus induced on immature embryos of Alstroemeria spp. L.
Van Schaik CE, Posthuma A, De Jeu MJ, Jacobsen E
The plant regeneration ability of callus obtained from zygotic embryos of the monocot Alstroemeria spp. was studied. The best explants for somatic embryogenesis were immature zygotic embryos in half-ovules when the endosperm was still soft and white. For 2 genotypes embryogenic callus was induced on callus induction medium with a success rate of 54%. The best callus induction period was 10 weeks. The morphology of embryogenic callus was nodular. Somatic embryos were formed after transfer of the...

Laryngeal carcinoma after radiation therapy: correlation of abnormal MR imaging signal patterns in laryngeal cartilage with the risk of recurrence.
Castelijns JA, van den Brekel MW, Tobi H, Smit EM, Golding RP, van Schaik C, Snow GB
Purpose: To correlate abnormal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging signal patterns in cartilage with the effectiveness of radiation treatment. Materials and methods: Eighty previously untreated patients underwent MR imaging and radiation therapy with a curative intent. Cartilage was considered to have an abnormal signal pattern if it had intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) MR images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted SE MR images. The minimum follow-up was 2 years. Resu...

In vitro measurement of beta-carotene cleavage activity: methodological considerations and the effect of other carotenoids on beta-carotene cleavage.
van Vliet T, van Schaik F, Schreurs WH, van den Berg H
In view of controversies about assessment of the beta-carotene cleavage activity, methodological aspects and problems of the dioxygenase assay are described. Using rat and hamster intestinal preparations the method was optimized on retinal formation, the only cleavage product we could demonstrate. It appeared that the cell fraction with the highest cleavage activity was the 9,000 g supernatant (S-9). Maximal retinal formation was obtained with SDS, taurocholate and egg lecithin in the buffer and...

Impaired initial cell reaction in CAPD-related peritonitis.
Koopmans JG, Boeschoten EW, Pannekeet MM, Betjes MG, Zemel D, Kuijper EJ, Krediet RT
Our objective was to determine the incidence of peritonitis episodes with an impaired initial cell reaction (IICR:neutrophil number < 100 x 10(6)/L) over a period of ten years, and to find possible explanations for this unusual presentation of peritonitis. A retrospective review of the files of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients included in the CAPD program 1984 and 1993 was done. Analysis of cytokine and prostanoid patterns during four peritonitis episodes with an IICR...

Different Effects of Lipopolysaccharide on Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Production in Aortic Media in Vivo and in Culture.
van Leeuwen RT, Quax PH, Tippins JR, Antoniw JW, Andreotti F, Maseri A, Kluft C, Sperti G
Background: Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) has been shown to increase the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) in the vessel wall. Endotoxin is known to increase PAI-1 production in endothelial cells, but its action on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is presently not clear. In this study we determined the effect of endotoxin on PAI-1 and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) production by aortic SMCs in vivo in two animal species, and in culture. Methods: The aortas of Sprague D...

Upper and lower extremity somatosensory evoked potential recording during surgery for aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta.
Shahin GM, Hamerlijnck RP, Schepens MA, Ter Beek HT, Vermeulen FE, Boezeman EH
Since tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) recording is influenced by hemodynamic changes and anesthetics, alterations cannot always be attributed to spinal cord ischemia, so causing false positive results. Additional recording of median nerve SEPs facilitates interpretation. From January 1988 to July 1993, 60 consecutive patients (44 men, 16 women, mean age 66 years, ranging from 26 to 83 years) underwent surgery for an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta using a non-hepari...
