Procedural Surgical RCTs in Daily Practice: Do Surgeons Adopt Or Is It Just a Waste of Time?
Oberkofler CE, Hamming JF, Staiger RD, Brosi P, Biondo S, Farges O, Legemate DA, Morino M, Pinna AD, Pinto-Marques H, Reynolds JV, Campos RR, Rogiers X, Soreide K, Puhan MA, Clavien PA, Rinkes IB
Objective: To assess the adoption of recommendation from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and investigate factors favoring or preventing adoption. Background: RCT are considered to be the cornerstone of evidence-based medicine by representing the highest level of evidence. As such, we expect RCT's recommendations to be followed rigorously in daily surgical practice. Methods: We performed a structured search for RCTs published in the medical and surgical literature from 2009 to 2013, allowi...

Lateral Subunit Coupling Determines Intermediate Filament Mechanics.
Lorenz C, Forsting J, Schepers AV, Kraxner J, Bauch S, Witt H, Klumpp S, Köster S
The cytoskeleton is a composite network of three types of protein filaments, among which intermediate filaments (IFs) are the most extensible ones. Two very important IFs are keratin and vimentin, which have similar molecular architectures but different mechanical behaviors. Here we compare the mechanical response of single keratin and vimentin filaments using optical tweezers. We show that the mechanics of vimentin strongly depends on the ionic strength of the buffer and that its force-strain c...

Referral of patients for fractional flow reserve using quantitative flow ratio.
Smit JM, Koning G, van Rosendael AR, El Mahdiui M, Mertens BJ, Schalij MJ, Jukema JW, Delgado V, Reiber JHC, Bax JJ, Scholte AJ
Aims: Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a recently developed technique to calculate fractional flow reserve (FFR) based on 3D quantitative coronary angiography and computational fluid dynamics, obviating the need for a pressure-wire and hyperaemia induction. QFR might be used to guide patient selection for FFR and subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) referral in hospitals not capable to perform FFR and PCI. We aimed to investigate the feasibility to use QFR to appropriately select...

In many species, the offspring of related parents suffer reduced reproductive success, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. In humans, the importance of this effect has remained unclear, partly because reproduction between close relatives is both rare and frequently associated with confounding social factors. Here, using genomic inbreeding coefficients (FROH) for >1.4 million individuals, we show that FROH is significantly associated (p

A novel method for engineering autologous non-thrombogenic in situ tissue-engineered blood vessels for arteriovenous grafting.
Geelhoed WJ, van der Bogt KEA, Rothuizen TC, Damanik FFR, Hamming JF, Mota CD, van Agen MS, de Boer HC, Restrepo MT, Hinz B, Kislaya A, Poelma C, van Zonneveld AJ, Rabelink TJ, Moroni L, Rotmans JI
The durability of prosthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts for hemodialysis access is low, predominantly due to stenotic lesions in the venous outflow tract and infectious complications. Tissue engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) might offer a tailor-made autologous alternative for prosthetic grafts. We have designed a method in which TEBVs are grown in vivo, by utilizing the foreign body response to subcutaneously implanted polymeric rods in goats, resulting in the formation of an autologous fibrocell...

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of necrotic cell death marked by oxidative damage to phospholipids1,2. To date, ferroptosis has been thought to be controlled only by the phospholipid hydroperoxide-reducing enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4)3,4 and radical-trapping antioxidants5,6. However, elucidation of the factors that underlie the sensitivity of a given cell type to ferroptosis7 is crucial to understand the pathophysiological role of ferroptosis and how it may be exploited for the t...

Cardiac power output accurately reflects external cardiac work over a wide range of inotropic states in pigs.
Abawi D, Faragli A, Schwarzl M, Manninger M, Zweiker D, Kresoja KP, Verderber J, Zirngast B, Maechler H, Steendijk P, Pieske B, Post H, Alogna A
Background: Cardiac power output (CPO), derived from the product of cardiac output and mean aortic pressure, is an important yet underexploited parameter for hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients in the intensive-care unit (ICU). The conductance catheter-derived pressure-volume loop area reflects left ventricular stroke work (LV SW). Dividing LV SW by time, a measure of LV SW min- 1 is obtained sharing the same unit as CPO (W). We aimed to validate CPO as a marker of LV SW min- 1 und...

Disruption of circadian rhythm by means of shift work has been associated with cardiovascular disease in humans. However, causality and underlying mechanisms have not yet been established. In this study, we exposed hyperlipidemic APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice to either regular light-dark cycles, weekly 6 hours phase advances or delays, or weekly alternating light-dark cycles (12 hours shifts), as a well-established model for shift work. We found that mice exposed to 15 weeks of alternating light-dark...

MicroRNA-411 and Its 5'-IsomiR Have Distinct Targets and Functions and Are Differentially Regulated in the Vasculature under Ischemia.
van der Kwast RVCT, Woudenberg T, Quax PHA, Nossent AY
MicroRNAs are posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. As microRNAs can target many genes simultaneously, microRNAs can regulate complex multifactorial processes, including post-ischemic neovascularization, a major recovery pathway in cardiovascular disease. MicroRNAs select their target mRNAs via full complementary binding with their seed sequence, i.e., nucleotides 2-8 from the 5' end of a microRNA. The exact sequence of a mature microRNA, and thus of its 5' and 3' end...
