Different Effects of Lipopolysaccharide on Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Production in Aortic Media in Vivo and in Culture.
van Leeuwen RT, Quax PH, Tippins JR, Antoniw JW, Andreotti F, Maseri A, Kluft C, Sperti G
Background: Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) has been shown to increase the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) in the vessel wall. Endotoxin is known to increase PAI-1 production in endothelial cells, but its action on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is presently not clear. In this study we determined the effect of endotoxin on PAI-1 and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) production by aortic SMCs in vivo in two animal species, and in culture. Methods: The aortas of Sprague D...

Upper and lower extremity somatosensory evoked potential recording during surgery for aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta.
Shahin GM, Hamerlijnck RP, Schepens MA, Ter Beek HT, Vermeulen FE, Boezeman EH
Since tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) recording is influenced by hemodynamic changes and anesthetics, alterations cannot always be attributed to spinal cord ischemia, so causing false positive results. Additional recording of median nerve SEPs facilitates interpretation. From January 1988 to July 1993, 60 consecutive patients (44 men, 16 women, mean age 66 years, ranging from 26 to 83 years) underwent surgery for an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta using a non-hepari...

Magnetic resonance techniques for assessment of myocardial viability.
van der Wall EE, Vliegen HW, de Roos A, Bruschke AV
In general, the following three standards for myocardial viability can be used: (a) preserved coronary flow (adequate perfusion); (b) preserved wall motion (systolic wall thickening); and (c) preserved metabolism (metabolic integrity). The current magnetic resonance (MR) techniques provide a great potential to measure all three standards of viability. Adequate perfusion can be assessed by spin-echo MR imaging and/or ultrafast MR imaging, systolic wall thickening by cine MR imaging, and the prese...

Comparison between regional myocardial perfusion reserve and coronary flow reserve in the canine heart.
Geldof MJ, Schalij MJ, Manger Cats V, van der Zwet PM, Steendijk P, van der Velde ET, Nagtegaal EM, Reiber JH, Bruschke AV
Diameter stenosis and flow reserve are indices of morphological and functional severity of coronary artery stenosis. Flow reserve can be determined at coronary arterial or at myocardial level. In the presence of functional collateral circulation, coronary flow reserve and myocardial perfusion reserve may differ. We studied coronary flow, coronary flow reserve and myocardial perfusion reserve in an open chest dog model with intact collateral circulation, before and after induction of coronary art...

Alpha-adrenergic agonist and endothelin-1 induced intracellular Ca2+ response in the presence of a Ca2+ entry blocker in cultured rat ventricular myocytes.
De Jonge HW, Atsma DE, van der Valk-Kokshoorn EJ, van Heugten HA, van der Laarse A, Lamers JM
Previously we demonstrated that stimulation of cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes by either alpha 1-adrenergic agonist or endothelin-1 resulted in a rapid formation of total inositolphosphates, although the levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate did not rise significantly. The aim of this study was to examine whether stimulation by alpha 1-adrenergic agonist and endothelin-1 could still elicit phosphatidylinositol cycle mediated intracellular Ca2+ m...

van Boven AJ, Jukema JW, Crijns HJ, Lie KI
We studied heart rate variability in ambulatory electrocardiographic recordings from 312 patients with significant coronary artery disease and a left ventricular ejection fraction of > or = 30%. Only those patients who had both episodes of ischemia and nonsustained ventricular arrhythmias showed diminished values for parasympathetic nonspectral and spectral heart rate (HR) variability parameters. The root mean square of difference of successive R-R intervals (RMSSD) and high-frequency (HF) po...

Magnetic resonance imaging in coronary artery disease.
van der Wall EE, Vliegen HW, de Roos A, Bruschke AV
The cardiovascular applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) techniques in coronary artery disease have increased considerably in recent years. Technical advantages of MR imaging in comparison with other techniques are the excellent spatial resolution, the characterization of myocardial tissue, and the potential for three-dimensional imaging. This allows the accurate assessment of left ventricular mass and volume, the differentiation of infarcted tissue from normal myocardial tissue, and t...

Similar orthostatic defense in active, healthy young adult and late middle-aged men.
Bootsma M, Swenne CA, Bruschke AV
Orthostatic defense is commonly validated with a 60 degrees to 80 degrees head-up tilt test, addressing the step response rather than the response to permanent orthostatis. During the initial phase of tilt, neural factors predominate, while later, the slower humoral factors fade in. It has been demonstrated that, during adaptation of the circulatory system to the standing conditions, overshoot and undershoot occur. These oscillations hamper straight-forward interpretation of a tilt test, and may...

Magnetic resonance imaging analysis of left ventricular pressure-volume relations: validation with the conductance method at rest and during dobutamine stress.
Pattynama PM, de Roos A, Van der Velde ET, Lamb HJ, Steendijk P, Hermans J, Baan J
The accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was assessed for in vivo measurement of the ventricular end-systolic pressure-volume relation (ESPVR) and preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW). The conductance catheter was used as reference. In 10 pigs, ventricular volumes were measured with both methods under different loading conditions at two levels of contractility. Increased contractility resulted in a significant leftward shift of the ESPVR and PRSW for both methods. The magnitude of these...

Spleen pigmentation in young C57BL mice is caused by accumulation of melanin.
van der Heijden A, van Dijk JE, Lemmens AG, Beynen AC
It has been previously reported that in 2 C57BL mouse sublines a dark pigmentation of the cranial part of the spleen occurs in up to 30% of the animals within the populations. It was not clear whether this discoloration is caused by melanosis, lipofuscinosis or haemosiderosis. With the use of light and electron microscopy of stained spleen sections, we identified the pigment in 14 out of 60 C57BL mice aged 8-10 wks. In the mice with pigmented spleens there was accumulation of melanin, predominan...

Comparison of equine arteritis virus isolates using neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and identification of sequence changes in GL associated with neutralization resistance.
Glaser AL, de Vries AA, Dubovi EJ
Three murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that neutralize equine arteritis virus (EAV) infectivity were identified and characterized. The antibodies, 93B, 74D(B) and 38F, recognized the major envelope glycoprotein (GL) encoded by open reading frame (ORF) 5 in immunoblots and by immunoprecipitation. All three MAbs were used to compare the Bucyrus isolate of EAV and MAb neutralization-resistant (NR) escape mutants with the vaccine virus and 19 independent field isolates of EAV by virus neutralizat...

Microperimetry in patients with central serous retinopathy.
Toonen F, Remky A, Janssen V, Wolf S, Reim M
In patients with acute central serous retinopathy (CSR), evaluation of visual acuity alone may not represent visual function. In patients with acute CSR, visual function may be disturbed by localized scotomas, distortion, and waviness. For the assessment of localized light sensitivity and stability of fixation, patients with CSR were evaluated by fundus perimetry with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO 101, Rodenstock Instruments). In all, 21 patients with acute CSR and 19 healthy volunteers w...

Regulation of plasminogen activation, matrix metalloproteinases and urokinase-type plasminogen activator-mediated extracellular matrix degradation in human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 by interleukin-1 alpha.
de Bart AC, Quax PH, Löwik CW, Verheijen JH
Plasmin-mediated extracellular proteolysis has been implicated in the degradation of bone in normal and pathological conditions. Normal and malignant osteoblasts can produce both tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA). We have used the osteosarcoma cell line MG63 to address the question of whether the enhanced bone turnover in osteosarcomas is mediated by t-PA or by u-PAA and to study the effect of the cytokine interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), k...

The two major envelope proteins of equine arteritis virus associate into disulfide-linked heterodimers.
de Vries AA, Post SM, Raamsman MJ, Horzinek MC, Rottier PJ
In a coimmunoprecipitation assay with monospecific antisera, the two major envelope proteins GL and M of equine arteritis virus were found to occur in heteromeric complexes in virions and infected cells. While the GL protein associated with M rapidly and efficiently, newly synthesized M protein was incorporated into complexes at a slower rate, which implies that it interacts with GL molecules synthesized earlier. Analysis under nonreducing conditions revealed that the GL/M complexes consist of d...

Equine arteritis virus-neutralizing antibody in the horse is induced by a determinant on the large envelope glycoprotein GL.
Chirnside ED, de Vries AA, Mumford JA, Rottier PJ
Complementary DNAs encoding ORFs 2 to 7 equine arteritis virus (EAV) have been cloned into the expression vector pGEX to produce glutathione-S-transferase fusion proteins. Recombinant proteins were affinity purified and screened in ELISA with equine sera to identify immunoreactive polypeptides. The large envelope glycoprotein (GL) was identified as the most reactive to EAV-positive equine sera and an immuno-dominant epitope was mapped between amino acids 55 and 98 by subcloning and expression.

In situ hybridization: a new technique to determine the origin of fibroblasts in cryopreserved aortic homograft valve explants.
Hazekamp MG, Koolbergen DR, Braun J, Sugihara H, Cornelisse CJ, Goffin YA, Huysmans HA
Tissue degeneration reduces the durability of cryopreserved homografts. Earlier studies indicated that the presence of fibroblasts in homograft leaflets may contribute to increased valve longevity. These fibroblasts may be of recipient origin or represent surviving donor cells. We developed a method, based on in situ hybridization, to determine the origin of fibroblasts in homograft explants. In young pigs we performed aortic valve replacement with a cryopreserved porcine aortic homograft. A mal...
