Pomegranate juice causes a partial improvement through lowering oxidative stress for erectile dysfunction in streptozotocin-diabetic rat.
Onal E, Yilmaz D, Kaya E, Bastaskın T, Bayatlı N, Gur S
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Pomegranate juice (PJ) is a potent antioxidant in diabetes induced oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the administration of PJ ameliorates ED in streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rat model. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups (n=10-12, each): (1) Control, (2) STZ (25-35 mg kg-1, intravenously, 10 weeks) induced DM, and (3) PJ (100 mg kg-1 day-1, 10 weeks) treated DM rats. The i...

Background: Myocardial mass is a key determinant of cardiac muscle function and hypertrophy. Myocardial depolarization leading to cardiac muscle contraction is reflected by the amplitude and duration of the QRS complex on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Abnormal QRS amplitude or duration reflect changes in myocardial mass and conduction, and are associated with increased risk of heart failure and death. Objectives: This meta-analysis sought to gain insights into the genetic determinants of myocardi...

Background: In addition to lowering low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), statin therapy also raises high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Inter-individual variation in HDL-C response to statins may be partially explained by genetic variation. Methods and results: We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify variants with an effect on statin-induced high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) changes. The 123 most promising signals wit...

Mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: how to measure?
Khidir MJ, Delgado V, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ
Purpose of review: This article summarizes the most recent imaging techniques to assess left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony and discusses their value to predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) together with assessment of myocardial scar and cardiac venous anatomy. Recent findings: Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony has been associated with prognosis of heart failure patients and has been shown to influence the efficacy of CRT. Although current guidelines do not rec...

Allografts in aortic position: Insights from a 27-year, single-center prospective study.
Arabkhani B, Bekkers JA, Andrinopoulou ER, Roos-Hesselink JW, Takkenberg JJ, Bogers AJ
Objective: Over the past decades, the indication for allograft implantation in aortic position has evolved. The purpose of this study is to report long-term survival, allograft durability, and potential risk factors. Methods: Between 1987 and 2010, 353 patients underwent aortic valve replacements via allograft (92 subcoronary, 261 root replacement; 98% aortic allografts). Patient characteristics, survival, valve durability, and valve-related events were analyzed. Patients also were followed with...

Anatomical and functional assessment of Tryton bifurcation stent before and after final kissing balloon dilatation: Evaluations by three-dimensional coronary angiography, optical coherence tomography imaging and fractional flow reserve.
Pyxaras SA, Toth GG, Di Gioia G, Ughi GJ, Tu S, Rusinaru D, Adriaenssens T, Reiber JHC, Leon MB, Bax JJ, Wijns W
Objectives: To assess the anatomical and functional impact of final kissing balloon inflation (FKBI) after implantation of a dedicated bifurcation stent system. Background: Current evidence suggests clinical benefit of FKBI in patients undergoing bifurcation dilatation using the Tryton side branch stent (Tryton-SBS). We hypothesized that FKBI improves anatomical reconstruction and functional results of bifurcation treated by Tryton-SBS. Methods: An unselected group of patients with complex bifur...

Objective: Surgical outcomes of pediatric patients with Ebstein's anomaly are often described as part of all-age-inclusive series. Our objective is to focus on patients treated surgically in childhood (0-18 y). We study the intended treatment (biventricular or 1.5 ventricle repair or univentricular palliation), freedom from unplanned reoperation and survival of this specific age group, in a nationwide study. Design: Records of all Ebstein's anomaly patients born between 1980 and 2013 w...

Very Long-Term Follow-Up After Coronary Rotational Atherectomy: A Single-Center Experience.
Tohamy A, Klomp M, Putter H, Youssef A, Shams-Eddin H, Abdelsabour M, Schalij MJ, Jukema JW
We assessed the very long-term follow-up of a large cohort of unselected patients treated with coronary rotational atherectomy (RA). All 143 patients who underwent RA at our institution from 2000 to 2013 and with complete baseline and follow-up information were analyzed in a retrospective manner. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were defined as the composite of target vessel revascularization (TVR), acute myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality. The mean follow-up was 8.2 years. The 10...

Comparison of Quantity of Calcific Deposits by Multidetector Computed Tomography in the Aortic Valve and Coronary Arteries.
van Rosendael PJ, Kamperidis V, Kong WK, van Rosendael AR, Marsan NA, Bax JJ, Delgado V
The aim of this study was to compare the calcium burden of the aortic valve and coronary arteries with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in a propensity score-matched population of patients with a bicuspid versus a tricuspid aortic valve. From an ongoing clinical registry of patients who underwent MDCT, 70 patients with bicuspid aortic valve and 210 patients with tricuspid aortic valve were matched based on age, gender, cardiovascular risk factors, chest pain symptoms, and MDCT indication...

RBM20 Regulates Circular RNA Production From the Titin Gene.
Khan MA, Reckman YJ, Aufiero S, van den Hoogenhof MM, van der Made I, Beqqali A, Koolbergen DR, Rasmussen TB, van der Velden J, Creemers EE, Pinto YM
Rationale: RNA-binding motif protein 20 (RBM20) is essential for normal splicing of many cardiac genes, and loss of RBM20 causes dilated cardiomyopathy. Given its role in splicing, we hypothesized an important role for RBM20 in forming circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel class of noncoding RNA molecules. Objective: To establish the role of RBM20 in the formation of circRNAs in the heart. Methods and results: Here, we performed circRNA profiling on ribosomal depleted RNA from human hearts and ident...

Mechanically controlled quantum interference in individual π-stacked dimers.
Frisenda R, Janssen VA, Grozema FC, van der Zant HS, Renaud N
Recent observations of destructive quantum interference in single-molecule junctions confirm the role of quantum effects in the electronic conductance properties of molecular systems. These effects are central to a broad range of chemical and biological processes and may be beneficial for the design of single-molecule electronic components to exploit the intrinsic quantum effects that occur at the molecular scale. Here we show that destructive interference can be turned on or off within the same...

Guide extension catheter stepwise advancement facilitated by repeated distal balloon anchoring.
Andreou C, Karalis I, Maniotis C, Jukema JW, Koutouzis M
Coronary stent delivery can be extremely challenging in tortuous and calcified lesions especially when radial approach is chosen. Guide extension catheter is a useful tool for overcoming the inherent difficulties arising by the use of radial access in complex percutaneous interventions. We describe a technique for guide extension catheter system advancement by presenting two cases. This was performed stepwise by repeated distal balloon anchoring in the coronary artery of interest.

Improving the time efficiency of identifying dairy herds with poorer welfare in a population.
de Vries M, Bokkers EAM, van Schaik G, Engel B, Dijkstra T, de Boer IJM
Animal-based welfare assessment is time consuming and expensive. A promising strategy for improving the efficiency of identifying dairy herds with poorer welfare is to first estimate levels of welfare in herds based on data that are more easily obtained. Our aims were to evaluate the potential of herd housing and management data for estimating the level of welfare in dairy herds, and to estimate the associated reduction in the number of farm visits required for identification of herds with poore...

Introduction: Recent developments in implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and smartphone technology have increased the possibilities for remote monitoring. It is the purpose of this review to give an overview of these new possibilities. Areas covered: Remote monitoring in ICD allows for early detection of lead fractures and remote follow-up of patients. Possible limitations are the lack of standardization and the possible unsafety of the data stored on the ICD. Secondly, remote monitor...
