Triplane tissue Doppler imaging to evaluate mechanical dyssynchrony before and after cardiac resynchronization in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
Van de Veire NR, Blom NA, Holman ER, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. Since the implantation of a conventional pacemaker for acquired complete atrioventricular block, the patient experienced increased heart failure symptoms. Using triplane tissue Doppler imaging, significant intraventricular dyssynchrony induced by unilateral pacing and associated with diminished exercise capacity was demonstrated. A biventricular pacemaker was successfully implanted transveno...

Monraats PS, Kurreeman FA, Pons D, Sewgobind VD, de Vries FR, Zwinderman AH, de Maat MP, Doevendans PA, de Winter RJ, Tio RA, Waltenberger J, Huizinga TW, Eefting D, Quax PH, Frants RR, van der Laarse A, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW
Genetic factors appear to be important in the process of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as in inflammation, a pivotal factor in restenosis. An important mediator in the inflammatory response is interleukin (IL)-10. Our aim was to study whether genetic variants in IL-10 predispose to the risk of restenosis. The GENetic DEterminants of Restenosis (GENDER) study included 3104 patients treated with successful PCI. Target vessel revascularization (TVR) was chosen a...

Blood-brain barrier leakage may lead to progression of temporal lobe epilepsy.
van Vliet EA, da Costa Araújo S, Redeker S, van Schaik R, Aronica E, Gorter JA
Leakage of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is associated with various neurological disorders, including temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, it is not known whether alterations of the BBB occur during epileptogenesis and whether this can affect progression of epilepsy. We used both human and rat epileptic brain tissue and determined BBB permeability using various tracers and albumin immunocytochemistry. In addition, we studied the possible consequences of BBB opening in the rat for the subsequen...

Interpretation of ANOVA models for microarray data using PCA.
de Haan JR, Wehrens R, Bauerschmidt S, Piek E, van Schaik RC, Buydens LM
Motivation: ANOVA is a technique, which is frequently used in the analysis of microarray data, e.g. to assess the significance of treatment effects, and to select interesting genes based on P-values. However, it does not give information about what exactly is causing the effect. Our purpose is to improve the interpretation of the results from ANOVA on large microarray datasets, by applying PCA on the individual variance components. Interaction effects can be visualized by biplots, showing genes...

Inhibition of neointima formation by local delivery of estrogen receptor alpha and beta specific agonists.
Krom YD, Pires NM, Jukema JW, de Vries MR, Frants RR, Havekes LM, van Dijk KW, Quax PH
Objective: Neointima formation is the underlying mechanism of (in-stent) restenosis. 17beta-Estradiol (E2) is known to inhibit injury-induced neointima formation and post-angioplasty restenosis. Estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) has been demonstrated to mediate E2 anti-restenotic properties. However, the role of estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) is not fully elucidated. In the present study, the specific role of vascular ERalpha and ERbeta in neointima formation is assessed. Methods and results: N...

Relative merits of M-mode echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging for prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure secondary to ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Bleeker GB, Schalij MJ, Boersma E, Holman ER, Steendijk P, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
M-mode echocardiography (using the septal-to-posterior wall motion delay [SPWMD]) and color-coded tissue Doppler imaging (TDI; using the septal-to-lateral delay in peak systolic velocity) have been proposed for assessment of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, a head-to-head comparison between M-mode echocardiography and color-coded TDI was performed for assessment of LV dyssynchrony and prediction of response t...

Cardiovascular and lung inflammatory effects induced by systemically administered diesel exhaust particles in rats.
Nemmar A, Al-Maskari S, Ali BH, Al-Amri IS
Pollution by particulates has consistently been associated with increased cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. It has been suggested that ultrafine particles, of which diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are significant contributors, are able to translocate from the airways into the bloodstream in vivo. In the present study, we assessed the effect of systemic administration of DEP on cardiovascular and respiratory parameters. DEP were administered into the tail vein of rats, and heart rate, blo...

ABCB1 gene polymorphisms are not associated with treatment outcome in elderly acute myeloid leukemia patients.
van der Holt B, Van den Heuvel-Eibrink MM, Van Schaik RH, van der Heiden IP, Wiemer EA, Vossebeld PJ, Löwenberg B, Sonneveld P
Objectives: The classical multidrug resistance (MDR) gene MDR1 (ABCB1) encodes for the drug efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp). P-gp expression is an adverse prognostic factor for treatment outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is more frequently observed in older patients. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the ABCB1 gene, C1236T, G2677T, and C3435T, have been associated with altered drug metabolism and treatment outcome. We prospectively determined these single-nucleotide polymorphisms in...
