Terlouw LG, van Dijk LJD, van Noord D, Bakker OJ, Bijdevaate DC, Erler NS, Fioole B, Harki J, van den Heuvel DAF, Hinnen JW, Kolkman JJ, Nikkessen S, van Petersen AS, Smits HFM, Verhagen HJM, de Vries AC, de Vries JPM, Vroegindeweij D, Geelkerken RH, Bruno MJ, Moelker A, Dutch Mesenteric Ischemia Study Group
Background: Mesenteric artery stenting with a bare-metal stent is the current treatment for atherosclerotic chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Long-term patency of bare-metal stents is unsatisfactory due to in-stent intimal hyperplasia. Use of covered stents might improve long-term patency. We aimed to compare the patency of covered stents and bare-metal stents in patients with chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Methods: We conducted a multicentre, patient-blinded and investigator-blinded, randomised cont...

Karate kick-induced myocardial contusion.
Doornkamp RN, van Winden DF, Buiten MS, Josephus Jitta D
Myocardial contusion should be suspected in a selected patient group with blunt thoracic trauma, who have elevated troponin, ECG changes and/or haemodynamical instability. Echocardiography is useful for direct visualisation of possible complications. In stable conditions, MRI allows for good visualisation of the heart and can confirm a suspected myocardial contusion as well as demonstrate the extent of myocardial damage. Based on the present literature, the authors developed a diagram for the di...

Myeloid PHD2 Conditional Knockout Improves Intraplaque Angiogenesis and Vascular Remodeling in a Murine Model of Venous Bypass Grafting.
Sluiter TJ, Tillie RJHA, de Jong A, de Bruijn JBG, Peters HAB, van de Leijgraaf R, Halawani R, Westmaas M, Starink LIW, Quax PHA, Sluimer JC, de Vries MR
Background: Intraplaque angiogenesis occurs in response to atherosclerotic plaque hypoxia, which is driven mainly by highly metabolically active macrophages. Improving plaque oxygenation by increasing macrophage hypoxic signaling, thus stimulating intraplaque angiogenesis, could restore cellular function and neovessel maturation, and decrease plaque formation. Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) regulate cellular responses to hypoxia. We therefore aimed to elucidate the role of myeloid PHD2, the dominant...

Doxycycline induces mitochondrial dysfunction in aortic smooth muscle cells.
Yap C, Wanga S, Wüst RCI, van Os BW, Pijls MME, Keijzer S, van Zanten E, Koolbergen DR, Driessen AHG, Balm R, Yeung KK, de Vries CJM, Houtkooper RH, Lindeman JHN, de Waard V
The antibiotic doxycycline is known to inhibit inflammation and was therefore considered as a therapeutic to prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth. Yet mitochondrial dysfunction is a key-characteristic of clinical AAA disease. We hypothesize that doxycycline impairs mitochondrial function in the aorta and aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Doxycycline induced mitonuclear imbalance, reduced proliferation and diminished expression of typical contractile smooth muscle cell (SMC) proteins....

Play Behavior Varies with Age, Sex, and Socioecological Context in Wild, Immature Orangutans (<i>Pongo</i> spp.).
Kunz JA, Falkner SS, Aprilinayati F, Duvot GJ, Fröhlich M, Willems EP, Atmoko SSU, van Schaik CP, Schuppli C, van Noordwijk MA
Play is thought to serve different purposes at different times during ontogeny. The nature and frequency of play are expected to change accordingly over the developmental trajectory and with socio-ecological context. Orangutans offer the opportunity to disentangle the ontogenetic trajectories of solitary and social play with their extended immature phase, and socio-ecological variation among populations and species. We evaluated the frequency of play in 39 immature individuals across two populat...

Integration of vanHAX downstream of a ribosomal RNA operon restores vancomycin resistance in a susceptible Enterococcus faecium strain.
McInnes RS, Snaith AE, Dunn SJ, Papangeli M, Hardy KJ, Hussain A, van Schaik W
During the genomic characterisation of Enterococcus faecium strains (n = 39) collected in a haematology ward, we identified an isolate (OI25), which contained vanA-type vancomycin resistance genes but was phenotypically susceptible to vancomycin. OI25 could revert to resistance when cultured in the presence of vancomycin and was thus considered to be vancomycin-variable. Long-read sequencing was used to identify structural variations within the vancomycin resistance region of OI25 and to uncover...

Non-Invasive Assessment of Multivalvular Heart Disease: A Comprehensive Review.
De Zan G, van der Bilt IAC, Broekhuizen LN, Cramer MJ, Danad I, van Osch D, Patti G, van Rosendael PJ, Teske AJ, van der Harst P, Guglielmo M
Multivalvular heart disease (MVD) implies the presence of concomitant valvular lesions on two or more heart valves. This condition has become common in the few last years, mostly due to population aging. Every combination of valvular lesions uniquely redefines the hemodynamics of a patient. Over time, this may lead to alterations in left ventricle (LV) dimensions, shape and, eventually, function. Since most of the echocardiographic parameters routinely used in the valvular assessment have been d...
