TLR2 and TLR4 in ischemia reperfusion injury.
Arslan F, Keogh B, McGuirk P, Parker AE
Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury refers to the tissue damage which occurs when blood supply returns to tissue after a period of ischemia and is associated with trauma, stroke, myocardial infarction, and solid organ transplantation. Although the cause of this injury is multifactorial, increasing experimental evidence suggests an important role for the innate immune system in initiating the inflammatory cascade leading to detrimental/deleterious changes. The Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) play a cent...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip: open reduction as a risk factor for substantial osteonecrosis.
Firth GB, Robertson AJ, Schepers A, Fatti L
Background: Kalamchi and MacEwen (K&M) described a four-group scheme for classifying osteonecrosis (ON) following treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, the four groups can overlap in radiographic appearance, making assessment difficult. Questions/purposes: We (1) describe a simplified K&M classification; (2) determined whether the simplified classification was reliable; and (3) assessed whether differences in the type of reduction or age at reduction resulted i...

Autonomic neuropathy in Fabry disease: a prospective study using the Autonomic Symptom Profile and cardiovascular autonomic function tests.
Biegstraaten M, van Schaik IN, Wieling W, Wijburg FA, Hollak CE
Background: Fabry patients have symptoms and signs compatible with autonomic dysfunction. These symptoms and signs are considered to be due to impairment of the peripheral nervous system, but findings indicative of autonomic neuropathy in other diseases, such as orthostatic intolerance and male sexual dysfunction, are infrequently reported in Fabry disease. The aim of our study was to investigate autonomic symptoms and cardiovascular autonomic function in a large cohort of male and female Fabry...

Rapid and sensitive lentivirus vector-based conditional gene expression assay to monitor and quantify cell fusion activity.
Gonçalves MA, Janssen JM, Holkers M, de Vries AA
Cell-to-cell fusion is involved in multiple fundamental biological processes. Prominent examples include osteoclast and giant cell formation, fertilization and skeletal myogenesis which involve macrophage, sperm-egg and myoblast fusion, respectively. Indeed, the importance of cell fusion is underscored by the wide range of homeostatic as well as pathologic processes in which it plays a key role. Therefore, rapid and sensitive systems to trace and measure cell fusion events in various experimenta...

Genome-based insights into the evolution of enterococci.
van Schaik W, Willems RJ
It is now 15 years since the first genome of a free-living organism was sequenced. Subsequent to this milestone, a veritable avalanche of genome sequence data has revolutionized many aspects of microbiology. In this review, we discuss recent progress on the genomics of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, which are the two enterococcal species that cause the large majority of enterococcal infections. We focus on the genome-based analysis of enterococcal diversity and phylogeny. Studie...

Effects of transportation during the hot season, breed and electrical stimulation on histochemical and meat quality characteristics of goat longissimus muscle.
Kadim IT, Mahgoub O, Al-Marzooqi W, Khalaf S, Al-Sinawi SS, Al-Amri I
The effects of transportation and electrical stimulation (90 V) on physiological, histochemical and meat quality characteristics of two breeds of Omani goats were assessed. Twenty 1-year-old male goats from each breed (Batina and Dhofari) were divided into two groups: 3 h transported during the hot season (42 degrees C day time temperature) and non-transported. Animals were blood-sampled before loading and prior to slaughter. Electrical stimulation was applied 20 min postmortem to 50% randomly s...

Host adaptation of bovine Staphylococcus aureus seems associated with bacteriological cure after lactational antimicrobial treatment.
van den Borne BH, Nielen M, van Schaik G, Melchior MB, Lam TJ, Zadoks RN
Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of diseases in multiple species. Some sequence types (ST) are observed in a variety of hosts, whereas other strains are mainly associated with bovine mastitis, suggesting host adaptation. We propose that host adaptation of Staph. aureus may influence bacteriological cure of bovine subclinical mastitis after antimicrobial treatment. To test this hypothesis, multilocus sequence typing was performed on Staph. aureus isolates from 60 treated and 79 untreated...

Can therapeutic drug monitoring improve pharmacotherapy of HIV infection in adolescents?
Rakhmanina NY, van den Anker JN, Soldin SJ, van Schaik RH, Mordwinkin N, Neely MN
Currently, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not performed in the United States as part of routine clinical care of an HIV-infected adolescent patient. TDM is recommended to rule out subtherapeutic drug concentrations and to differentiate among malabsorption, drug interactions, poor adherence, or increased drug metabolism or clearance as possible causes of decreased drug exposure. The use of TDM is also considered to assist in finding the optimal dose of a drug...

Statins and all-cause mortality in high-risk primary prevention: a meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials involving 65,229 participants.
Ray KK, Seshasai SR, Erqou S, Sever P, Jukema JW, Ford I, Sattar N
Background: Statins have been shown to reduce the risk of all-cause mortality among individuals with clinical history of coronary heart disease. However, it remains uncertain whether statins have similar mortality benefit in a high-risk primary prevention setting. Notably, all systematic reviews to date included trials that in part incorporated participants with prior cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline. Our objective was to reliably determine if statin therapy reduces all-cause mortality a...

Diagnostic accuracy of 320-row multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography to noninvasively assess in-stent restenosis.
de Graaf FR, Schuijf JD, van Velzen JE, Boogers MJ, Kroft LJ, de Roos A, Reiber JH, Sieders A, Spanó F, Jukema JW, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Objectives: Percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation is routinely performed to treat patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. However, thus far, noninvasive assessment of in-stent restenosis has been challenging. Recently, 320-row multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA) was introduced, allowing volumetric image acquisition of the heart in a single heart beat or gantry rotation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 32...

Echocardiography and non-invasive imaging in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Delgado V, Mooyaart EA, Ct Ng A, Auger D, Bertini M, van Bommel RJ, Yiu KH, Ewe SH, Witkowski TG, Ajmone Marsan N, Schuijf JD, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ
The beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on morbidity and mortality in advanced heart failure patients have been extensively demonstrated. However, previous single- and multicenter studies demonstrated that approximately 30-40% of CRT patients do not show significant clinical improvement or LV reverse remodeling despite fulfilling current inclusion criteria. In search of novel indices that may help to improve the selection of responders to CRT, non-invasive multimodality...
