Right ventricular outflow tract dimensions in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia-a multicentre study comparing echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Gotschy A, Saguner AM, Niemann M, Hamada S, Akdis D, Yoon JN, Parmon EV, Delgado V, Bax JJ, Kozerke S, Brunckhorst C, Duru F, Tanner FC, Manka R
Aims: Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dilation is one of the echocardiographic criteria in the 2010 revised Task Force Criteria (TFC) of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D). However, studies comparing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) suggest a lower diagnostic accuracy of TTE due to its operator dependence and limited reproducibility. The goal of this study was to compare the 2010 TFC measures of RVOT dilation with th...

Annexin A5 reduces infarct size and improves cardiac function after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppression of the cardiac inflammatory response.
de Jong RCM, Pluijmert NJ, de Vries MR, Pettersson K, Atsma DE, Jukema JW, Quax PHA
Annexin A5 (AnxA5) is known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. Inflammation and apoptosis are key processes in post-ischemic cardiac remodeling. In this study, we investigated the effect of AnxA5 on left ventricular (LV) function and remodeling three weeks after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI-R) injury in hypercholesterolemic ApoE*3-Leiden mice. Using a mouse model for MI-R injury, we demonstrate AnxA5 treatment resulted in a 27% reduction of contrast-enhanced MRI asse...

Leukocyte Dynamics during the Evolution of Human Coronary Atherosclerosis: Conclusions from a Sevenfold, Chromogen-Based, Immunohistochemical Evaluation.
Zuiderwijk M, Geerts M, van Rhijn CJ, van den Bogaerdt A, Hamming JF, van Dijk RA, Lindeman JH
Atherosclerosis is a complex process with strong inflammatory component. We developed a straightforward sevenfold staining protocol for simultaneous assessment of dominant leukocyte classes, vascularization, and expression of the putative foam cell maker CD36. The method was applied on human coronaries covering the full spectrum of atherosclerotic disease. Results confirm the progressive association of macrophages and T cells with the process and a global presence of mast cells. B cells are excl...

Cardiomyogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells transduced with Tbx20-encoding lentiviral vectors.
Neshati V, Mollazadeh S, Fazly Bazzaz BS, de Vries AA, Mojarrad M, Naderi-Meshkin H, Neshati Z, Kerachian MA
Ischemic heart disease often results in myocardial infarction and is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Improvement in the function of infarcted myocardium is a main purpose of cardiac regenerative medicine. One possible way to reach this goal is via stem cell therapy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types but display limited cardiomyogenic differentiation potential. Members of the T-box family of tran...

Joosten SA, van Meijgaarden KE, Arend SM, Prins C, Oftung F, Korsvold GE, Kik SV, Arts RJ, van Crevel R, Netea MG, Ottenhoff TH
The lack of defined correlates of protection hampers development of vaccines against tuberculosis (TB). In vitro mycobacterial outgrowth assays are thought to better capture the complexity of the human host/Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) interaction. Here, we used a mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) based on peripheral blood mononuclear cells to investigate the capacity to control outgrowth of bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Interestingly, strong control of BCG outgrowth was observed...
