Rana JS, Monraats PS, Zwinderman AH, de Maat MP, Kastelein JJ, Doevendans PA, de Winter RJ, Tio RA, Frants RR, van der Laarse A, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW, GENDER study
Objective: Patients with metabolic syndrome have increased risk of cardiovascular events. The number of patients with metabolic syndrome is rapidly increasing, and these patients often need revascularization. However, only limited data are available on the effect of metabolic syndrome on restenosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Research design and methods: To assess the role of metabolic syndrome in the development of restenosis, we performed an analysis in a p...

Polymorphisms in APOA1 and LPL genes are statistically independently associated with fasting TG in men with CAD.
Souverein OW, Jukema JW, Boekholdt SM, Zwinderman AH, Tanck MW
The objective of this paper was to identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that show unshared effects on plasma triglyceride (TG) levels and to investigate whether these SNPs show statistically independent effects on plasma TG levels. In total, 59 polymorphisms in 20 genes involved in lipid metabolism were investigated. Polymorphisms were selected for a multivariate ANOVA model if they showed an univariate association with TG (after adjustment for HDL-C and LDL-C) in more than 50% of...

Intraoperative stenting of pulmonary arteries.
Bökenkamp R, Blom NA, De Wolf D, Francois K, Ottenkamp J, Hazekamp MG
Objective: The surgical treatment of pulmonary artery stenoses in small children with complex cardiac lesions can be technically difficult. A hybrid-approach combining corrective surgery and intraoperative stent placement may be complementary in these patients. Methods: Descriptive study in 11 small children (age: one week to 12 years, median of 12 months, weight: 2.5-20 kg) after previous cardiac surgery. Intraoperative stenting of pulmonary arteries was performed involving paediatric cardiolog...

Feasibility of tissue magnetic resonance imaging: a pilot study in comparison with tissue Doppler imaging and invasive measurement.
Paelinck BP, de Roos A, Bax JJ, Bosmans JM, van Der Geest RJ, Dhondt D, Parizel PM, Vrints CJ, Lamb HJ
Objectives: This research was intended to determine the feasibility of tissue magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in comparison with tissue Doppler imaging and its potential implications for the estimation of filling pressure, in comparison with invasive measurement. Background: Evaluation of diastolic function using MR imaging is commonly confined to the study of transmitral flow. However, transmitral flow is unreliable for the estimation of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures in hypertrophy an...

Which parameters on magnetic resonance imaging determine Q waves on the electrocardiogram?
Kaandorp TA, Bax JJ, Lamb HJ, Viergever EP, Boersma E, Poldermans D, van der Wall EE, de Roos A
Studies have demonstrated that patients with Q-wave infarctions on the electrocardiogram (ECG) frequently have nontransmural scar formation, whereas non-Q-wave infarctions may have transmural scars. The precise pathophysiologic substrate that underlies Q waves remains unclear. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred technique to evaluate patients who have infarction because information can be obtained on function, contractile reserve (viability), and scar tissue. Consecutive patients (...

Cell cycle regulation of chromatin at an origin of DNA replication.
Zhou J, Chau CM, Deng Z, Shiekhattar R, Spindler MP, Schepers A, Lieberman PM
Selection and licensing of mammalian DNA replication origins may be regulated by epigenetic changes in chromatin structure. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) origin of plasmid replication (OriP) uses the cellular licensing machinery to regulate replication during latent infection of human cells. We found that the minimal replicator sequence of OriP, referred to as the dyad symmetry (DS), is flanked by nucleosomes. These nucleosomes were subject to cell cycle-dependent chromatin remodeling and histone...

Development of the right ventricular inflow tract and moderator band: a possible morphological and functional explanation for Mahaim tachycardia.
Jongbloed MR, Wijffels MC, Schalij MJ, Blom NA, Poelmann RE, van der Laarse A, Mentink MM, Wang Z, Fishman GI, Gittenberger-de Groot AC
Atriofascicular accessory bundles with AV-node like conduction properties can sustain atrioventricular (AV) re-entrant tachycardia (Mahaim tachycardia). During early embryogenesis, the AV canal is situated above the primitive left ventricle (LV), and a right AV connection has not been achieved yet. We studied the formation of the right ventricular (RV) inflow tract in relation to the developing cardiac conduction system and hypothesized a morphological explanation for functional atriofascicular...

Adenoviral vector-mediated expression of a gene encoding secreted, EpCAM-targeted carboxylesterase-2 sensitises colon cancer spheroids to CPT-11.
Oosterhoff D, Overmeer RM, de Graaf M, van der Meulen IH, Giaccone G, van Beusechem VW, Haisma HJ, Pinedo HM, Gerritsen WR
CPT-11 (irinotecan or 7-ethyl-10[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino] carbonyloxycamptothecin) is an anticancer agent in use for the treatment of colon cancer. In order to be fully active, CPT-11 needs to be converted into SN-38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin) by the enzyme carboxylesterase (CE). In humans, only a minority of CPT-11 is converted to SN-38. To increase the antitumour effect of CPT-11 by gene-directed enzyme prodrug therapy, we constructed a replication-deficient adenoviral vector Ad.C2...

Noninvasive coronary imaging and assessment of left ventricular function using 16-slice computed tomography.
Schuijf JD, Bax JJ, Salm LP, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ, van der Wall EE, de Roos A
In recent years, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has been demonstrated to be a feasible imaging modality for noninvasive coronary angiography and left ventricular function analysis. The present study evaluated overall performance of 16-slice MSCT in the detection of significant coronary artery disease, stent, or bypass graft stenosis in combination with global left ventricular function analysis. Forty-five patients underwent 16-slice MSCT. Multislice computed tomograms were used to evaluat...

Impaired health status and invasive treatment in peripheral arterial disease: a prospective 1-year follow-up study.
Aquarius AE, Denollet J, Hamming JF, Breek JC, De Vries J
Objective: It has been argued that health status and quality of life (QOL) should be taken into account in the treatment policy of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In cardiac patients, it has been shown that poor perceived health status is an independent predictor of mortality and hospitalization. We therefore examined (1) the role of health status, QOL, and clinical indices of disease severity as determinants of invasive treatment in patients with PAD and (2) the effect of invas...

-455G/A polymorphism and preprocedural plasma levels of fibrinogen show no association with the risk of clinical restenosis in patients with coronary stent placement.
Monraats PS, Rana JS, Zwinderman AH, de Maat MP, Kastelein JP, Agema WR, Doevendans PA, de Winter RJ, Tio RA, Waltenberger J, Frants RR, van der Laarse A, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW
The effect of preprocedural fibrinogen levels on in-stent restenosis is largely unknown. The -455G/A polymorphism of the fibrinogen beta-gene is associated with baseline plasma level or acute phase increase of fibrinogen. Therefore, we hypothesized that there is a relationship between this polymorphism and preprocedural fibrinogen level and clinical restenosis at follow-up among patients with coronary stent placement. The GENetic DEterminants of Restenosis (GENDER) project is a multicenter follo...
