Adding salmeterol to an inhaled corticosteroid: long term effects on bronchial inflammation in asthma.
Koopmans JG, Lutter R, Jansen HM, van der Zee JS
Background: Addition of the long acting beta2 agonist salmeterol to inhaled corticosteroids leads to better symptomatic asthma control than increasing the dose of inhaled corticosteroids. However, little is known about the long term effects of adding salmeterol on the asthmatic inflammatory process, control of which is considered important for the long term outcome of asthma. Methods: After a 4 week fluticasone run-in period, 54 patients with allergic asthma were randomised to receive twice dail...

Transduction of myogenic cells by retargeted dual high-capacity hybrid viral vectors: robust dystrophin synthesis in duchenne muscular dystrophy muscle cells.
Gonçalves MA, Holkers M, Cudré-Mauroux C, van Nierop GP, Knaän-Shanzer S, van der Velde I, Valerio D, de Vries AA
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (DMD), making it amenable to gene- or cell-based therapies. Another possible treatment entails the combination of both principles by transplantation of autologous myogenic cells after their genetic complementation. This approach requires efficient and stable transduction of these cells with recombinant DMD. Recently, we generated a dual high-capacity (hc) adenovirus (Ad)-adeno-associated virus (AAV) hybrid vector (HV...

Histology of vascular myocardial wall of left atrial body after pulmonary venous incorporation.
Douglas YL, Jongbloed MR, Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Evers D, Dion RA, Voigt P, Bartelings MM, Schalij MJ, Ebels T, DeRuiter MC
During embryonic development, the common pulmonary vein (PV) becomes incorporated into the left atrium, giving rise to separate PV ostia. We describe the consequences of this incorporation process for the histology of the left atrium and the possible clinical implications. The histology of the left atrial (LA) wall in relation to PV incorporation was studied immunohistochemically in 16 human embryos and fetuses, 1 neonate, and 5 adults. The PV wall, surrounded by extrapericardially differentiate...

Effect of left ventricular function on diagnostic accuracy of FDG SPECT.
Matsunari I, Bax JJ, Blanksma PK, Visser FC, Kanayama S, Yoneyama T, Nekolla SG, Tonami N, Hisada K
Objectives: Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) SPECT has emerged as an alternative to dedicated PET imaging. However, it remains uncertain whether FDG SPECT is an as accurate for viability assessment as FDG PET in patients with severely reduced left ventricular function. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of FDG SPECT in a head-to-head comparison with FDG PET, and divide the patients according to the severity of left ventricular dysfunction. Methods: A total of 47 patie...

Screening of asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for silent coronary artery disease: combined use of stress myocardial perfusion imaging and coronary calcium scoring.
Scholte AJ, Bax JJ, Wackers FJ
Diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease constitute an ominous clinical combination. Rates of morbidity and mortality as a result of cardiovascular complications are high in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Screening for silent coronary artery disease, to detect the disease in an early stage and to be able to initiate early appropriate treatment, has recently become an important focus of clinical investigation. Recent prospective studies have shown that the overall prevalence of sile...

Pregnancy effects on distribution of progesterone receptors, oestrogen receptor alpha, glucocorticoid receptors, Ki-67 antigen and apoptosis in the bovine interplacentomal uterine wall and foetal membranes.
Boos A, Kohtes J, Janssen V, Mülling C, Stelljes A, Zerbe H, Hässig M, Thole HH
Until recently, studies dealing with the uterus of the pregnant cow focus primarily on the placentome or on early and late pregnancy. Thus, there is a paucity of information about many aspects of the interplacentomal uterine wall including adherent foetal membranes. Corresponding tissue specimens were collected at the slaughterhouse and in animals undergoing premature caesarean section. Two specimens per month of pregnancy were assessed immunohistochemically for progesterone receptors, oestrogen...

Massive pulmonary embolism with cardiac arrest after an intracardiac electrophysiological study: a strong case for venous thromboprophylaxis.
Bauer MP, Vliegen HW, Huisman MV
A 47-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for an intracardiac electrophysiological study. The procedure was complicated by cardiac arrest due to massive pulmonary embolism, which only successfully resolved after the administration of a thrombolytic agent. This case suggests that there is a real risk of venous thromboembolism in certain patients during electrophysiological studies. Therefore, a consensus should be reached concerning the prevention of venous thromboembolism during these pro...

Acceleration-dependent left bundle branch block with severe left ventricular dyssynchrony results in acute heart failure: are there more patients who benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Zeppenfeld K, Schalij MJ, Bleeker GB, Holman ER, Bax JJ
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proposed to improve hemodynamics in patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block (LBBB) by resynchronization of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. The current report concerns a patient with narrow QRS complex without LV dyssynchrony who experienced an acute exacerbation of heart failure following exercise. Careful analysis revealed that an increase of heart rate induced acceleration-dependent LBBB with severe LV dyssynchrony and mitra...

Modeling ventricular function during cardiac assist: does time-varying elastance work?
Vandenberghe S, Segers P, Steendijk P, Meyns B, Dion RA, Antaki JF, Verdonck P
The time-varying elastance theory of Suga et al. is widely used to simulate left ventricular function in mathematical models and in contemporary in vitro models. We investigated the validity of this theory in the presence of a left ventricular assist device. Left ventricular pressure and volume data are presented that demonstrate the heart-device interaction for a positive-displacement pump (Novacor) and a rotary blood pump (Medos). The Novacor was implanted in a calf and used in fixed-rate mode...

Diagnostic and prognostic value of non-invasive imaging in known or suspected coronary artery disease.
Schuijf JD, Poldermans D, Shaw LJ, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ, de Roos A, Wijns W, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
The role of non-invasive imaging techniques in the evaluation of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) has increased exponentially over the past decade. The traditionally available imaging modalities, including nuclear imaging, stress echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have relied on detection of CAD by visualisation of its functional consequences (i.e. ischaemia). However, extensive research is being invested in the development of non-invasive anatom...

High rates of suicide and attempted suicide using pesticides in Nickerie, Suriname, South America.
Graafsma T, Kerkhof A, Gibson D, Badloe R, van de Beek LM
Suicide and attempted suicide are identified as a serious mental health problem in Suriname, especially in the district of Nickerie. An epidemiological study in the Nickerie catchment area revealed high rates of suicide (48 per 100,000) and attempted suicide (207 per 100,000) on average in the years 2000-2004. Particularly remarkable is the high number of attempted suicides among males (49%), and the use of pesticides in both fatal (55%) and nonfatal suicidal behavior (44%). Probably this high i...
