Gene transfer of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 reverses the inhibitory effects of TNF-alpha on Fas-induced apoptosis in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts.
Drynda A, Quax PH, Neumann M, van der Laan WH, Pap G, Drynda S, Meinecke I, Kekow J, Neumann W, Huizinga TW, Naumann M, König W, Pap T
Apart from counteracting matrix metalloproteinases, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) has proapoptotic properties. These features have been attributed to the inhibition of metalloproteinases involved in the shedding of cell surface receptors such as the TNFR. However, little is known about effects of TIMP-3 in cells that are not susceptible to apoptosis by TNF-alpha. In this study, we report that gene transfer of TIMP-3 into human rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts and MRC...

[Cardiac sarcoidosis: improved prognosis through new diagnostic tests and treatment].
Smedema JP, van Erven L, Schreur JH, Dijkman-Domanska B, Snoep G, Crijns HJ
Cardiac sarcoidosis was diagnosed in 3 patients: 2 men aged 52 and 51 years, respectively, and a woman aged 55 years. Both men had ventricular tachycardia. In the first man, a right-ventricle biopsy revealed a non-caseating granuloma. The second man had active granulomatous cardiac infiltration, according to a gallium scintigram. The first man recovered after receiving immunosuppression, heart-failure medication, and an implantable defibrillator; the second received the same plus radio-frequency...

Comparison of all-cause mortality in women with known or suspected coronary artery disease referred for dobutamine stress echocardiography with normal versus abnormal test results.
Biagini E, Elhendy A, Schinkel AF, Rizzello V, van Domburg RT, Krenning BJ, Schouten O, Sozzi FB, Branzi A, Rocchi G, Simoons ML, Bax JJ, Poldermans D
The presence of myocardial ischemia during dobutamine stress echocardiography is independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in women after adjustment for clinical data. This association is observed in patients who have proved coronary artery disease and in patients who have no history of coronary artery disease.

Myocardial technetium-99m-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography compared with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose imaging to assess myocardial viability.
Schinkel AF, Bax JJ, Biagini E, Elhendy A, van Domburg RT, Valkema R, Rizzello V, Schouten O, Simoons M, Poldermans D
Technetium-99m-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography at rest is practical for routine assessment of viability in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, underestimation of viability may occur compared with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose single-photon emission computed tomography, especially in the inferoposterior and septal regions.

Post-systolic shortening during dobutamine stress echocardiography predicts cardiac survival in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Rambaldi R, Bax JJ, Rizzello V, Biagini E, Valkema R, Roelandt JR, Poldermans D
Background: Patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and myocardial viability by dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) or F18-fluorodeoxyglucose-single-photon emission computed tomography (FDG-SPECT), experience improved survival after coronary revascularization. Pulsed wave-tissue Doppler imaging (PW-TDI)-derived ejection phase shortening (EPS) and post-systolic shortening (PSS) velocities may help to quantify DSE. We assessed these variables in a prospective long-term follow-up. Me...

Effect of three different anaesthetic agents on the postoperative production of cardiac troponin T in paediatric cardiac surgery.
Malagon I, Hogenbirk K, van Pelt J, Hazekamp MG, Bovill JG
Background: Paediatric cardiac surgery is associated with some degree of myocardial injury. Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) has been investigated widely in the adult population. Volatile agents have been shown to simulate IP providing extra protection to the myocardium during adult cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) while propofol seems to act through different mechanisms. IP has not been investigated in the paediatric population to the same extent. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a reliable marker of myo...

Comparison of 99mTc-sestamibi/18FDG DISA SPECT with PET for the detection of viability in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction.
Slart RH, Bax JJ, de Boer J, Willemsen AT, Mook PH, Oudkerk M, van der Wall EE, van Veldhuisen DJ, Jager PL
Purpose: Dual-isotope simultaneous acquisition (DISA) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an attractive technique as it permits assessment of both myocardial glucose metabolism and perfusion within a single session, but few data on its accuracy for the assessment of viability are available as yet. In the present study, DISA SPECT was compared with positron emission tomography (PET) for the detection of myocardial viability in normal and dysfunctional left ventricular (LV) myoca...

Contrast echocardiography as a useful additional diagnostic tool in evaluating a primary cardiac tumor.
Haverkamp MC, Scholte AJ, Holman ER, Jongbloed MR, Schippers EF, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Poldermans D, Bax JJ, Schalij MJ
The current report describes a case of a primary cardiac lymphoma. For early and appropriate treatment of a cardiac mass it is not only important to determine its localization and extension but also to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions. This report demonstrates that not only transthoracic echocardiography but also the other different forms of echocardiography such as transesophageal echocardiography, as well as contrast and intracardiac echocardiography, are useful tools in the...

Intracardiac pseudotumor caused by mitral annular calcification.
de Vrey EA, Scholte AJ, Krauss XH, Dion RA, Poldermans D, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
The current report describes a rare case of a pseudotumor in the left ventricle. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a round, echodense, mobile mass attached to the posterior mitral leaflet and annulus. At surgical exploration caseous annular calcification of the posterior mitral leaflet was diagnosed. After resection of the mass, successful mitral valvular plasty was performed. Review of the literature indicated that mitral annular calcification is associated with an...

Histological evaluation of decellularised porcine aortic valves: matrix changes due to different decellularisation methods.
Grauss RW, Hazekamp MG, Oppenhuizen F, van Munsteren CJ, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, DeRuiter MC
Objective: Several decellularisation techniques have been developed to produce acellular matrix scaffolds for the purpose of tissue engineering, mostly comprising (non-)ionic detergents or enzymatic extraction methods. However, the effect of chemically induced decellularisation on the major structural and adhesion molecules as well as glycosaminoglycans, and the possible replenishment of lost compounds have escaped attention. Methods: Porcine aortic valves were treated with two different methods...

[Severe insuffiency of the aortic and tricuspidal valves associated with pergolide use].
van Strater AC, Bax JJ, van Hilten JJ, Jukema JW
A 58-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease was treated with high-dose pergolide for 10 years. After the addition of citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, to treat an anxiety disorder, she developed cardiac decompensation that was most likely related to typical pergolide-related fibroproliferative abnormalities of the tricuspidal, aortic and mitral valves, without cardiomyopathy or coronary heart disease. The aortic and tricuspidal valves were replaced with prosthetics and...
