Long-term contribution of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells to skeletal muscle regeneration in mice.
de la Garza-Rodea AS, van der Velde I, Boersma H, Gonçalves MA, van Bekkum DW, de Vries AA, Knaän-Shanzer S
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are attractive for cellular therapy of muscular dystrophies as they are easy to procure, can be greatly expanded ex vivo, and contribute to skeletal muscle repair in vivo. However, detailed information about the contribution of bone marrow (BM)-derived human MSCs (BM-hMSCs) to skeletal muscle regeneration in vivo is very limited. Here, we present the results of a comprehensive study of the fate of LacZ-tagged BM-hMSCs following implantation in cardiotoxin (CTX)-i...

The time course of myonuclear accretion during hypertrophy in young adult and older rat plantaris muscle.
van der Meer SF, Jaspers RT, Jones DA, Degens H
To investigate whether accretion of myonuclei precedes or follows the increase in fibre cross-sectional area and whether this time course is affected by age, left plantaris muscle of 5- and 25-month-old male Wistar rats was overloaded by denervation of its synergists for 1, 2 or 4 weeks. Contralateral plantaris muscle served as control. Myonuclei were counted in haematoxylin-stained cross-sections. While hypertrophy (33% in young adult) became significant after 2 weeks overload (p

Age at which dairy cattle become Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis faecal culture positive.
Weber MF, Kogut J, de Bree J, van Schaik G, Nielen M
Age at which cattle become faecal culture positive for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) can be used as a proxy parameter for age at onset of faecal shedding, which is an important parameter in the control of Map in cattle herds. To investigate the age at becoming faecal culture positive, survival analysis methods were applied. The analyses were carried out on asynchronous interval censored data of faecal culture results of samples collected from 18,979 female Holstein-Frisian ca...

Rehabilitation: Periodic somatosensory stimulation increases arterial baroreflex sensitivity in chronic heart failure patients.
Gademan MG, Sun Y, Han L, Valk VJ, Schalij MJ, van Exel HJ, Lucas CM, Maan AC, Verwey HF, van de Vooren H, Pinna GD, Maestri R, La Rovere MT, van der Wall EE, Swenne CA
Background: One of the beneficial effects of exercise training in chronic heart failure (CHF) is an improvement in baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), a prognostic index in CHF. In our hypothesis-generating study we propose that at least part of this effect is mediated by neural afferent information, and more specifically, by exercise-induced somatosensory nerve traffic. Objective: To compare the effects of periodic electrical somatosensory stimulation on BRS in patients with CHF with the effects of e...

Barriers to cardiovascular disease risk scoring and primary prevention in Europe.
Hobbs FD, Jukema JW, Da Silva PM, McCormack T, Catapano AL
The prevalence and burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is high, and it remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Unfortunately, many individuals who are at high risk for CVD are not recognized and/or treated. Therefore, programs are available to ensure individuals at risk for CVD are identified through appropriate risk classification and offered optimal preventative interventions. The use of algorithms to determine a global risk score may help to achieve these goals. Such global risk-scor...
