The Porcine Aortic Tissue Culture System in vitro for Stem Cell Research.

International journal of stem cells

Kim DE, Oh KH, Yang JH, Kwon SK, Cho TJ, Lee SB, Nam H, Lee DS, Lee JR, Lee G, Cho J.
PMID: 24298344
Int J Stem Cells. 2011 Nov;4(2):116-22. doi: 10.15283/ijsc.2011.4.2.116.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Due to the shortage of human donors for transplantation, the use of animal organs for xenotransplantation has come into great interest. Xeno-derived vessels and cardiac valves would be possible alternatives for the patient suffering from cardiovascular...

Circulating but not immobilized N-deglycosylated von Willebrand factor increases platelet adhesion under flow conditions.

Biomicrofluidics

Fallah MA, Huck V, Niemeyer V, Desch A, Angerer JI, McKinnon TA, Wixforth A, Schneider SW, Schneider MF.
PMID: 24404057
Biomicrofluidics. 2013 Aug 26;7(4):44124. doi: 10.1063/1.4819746. eCollection 2013.

The role of von Willebrand factor (VWF) as a shear stress activated platelet adhesive has been related to a coiled-elongated shape conformation. The forces dominating this transition have been suggested to be controlled by the proteins polymeric architecture. However,...

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in a patient with rapidly progressive scleroderma.

Modern rheumatology

Bohgaki T, Notoya A, Mukai M, Kohno M.
PMID: 24383639

Abstract A 57-year-old man presented with palpitations, shortage of breath on exertion, and rapidly progressive scleroderma. On admission, a computed tomographic scan of his lung showed active interstitial pneumonia. We treated him with d-penicillamine and intravenous pulse methylprednisolone. After...

Estimated Blood Loss in Group O as Compared to Non-group O Radical Prostatectomy Patients.

Hematology (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Benson K, Agosti SJ, Lyman GH, Pow-Sang JM, Saba HI, Balducci L.
PMID: 27416535
Hematology. 1998;3(3):257-61. doi: 10.1080/10245332.1998.11746398.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Blood group O individuals have been shown to have lower levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF). It is not known if these differences are associated with an increased bleeding risk. We retrospectively assessed estimated blood loss...

Acquired von Willebrand Disease in Patients with Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders.

Leukemia & lymphoma

Tatewaki W, Shibata A.
PMID: 27456408
Leuk Lymphoma. 1989;1(1):51-7. doi: 10.3109/10428198909042459.

In chronic myeloproliferative disorders(CMPD), thrombohaemorrhagic complications are relatively common, in association with thromocytosis. We studied the multimeric composition of plasma von Willebrand factor(vWf) in CMPD and investigated the possibilities of in vivo or in vitro proteolysis. The relative amount...

Inflammation and oxidative stress caused by nitric oxide synthase uncoupling might lead to left ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension.

Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC

Szelényi Z, Fazakas Á, Szénási G, Kiss M, Tegze N, Fekete BC, Nagy E, Bodó I, Nagy B, Molvarec A, Patócs A, Pepó L, Prohászka Z, Vereckei A.

J Geriatr Cardiol. 2015 Jan;12(1):1-10. doi: 10.11909/j.issn.1671-5411.2015.01.001.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of oxidative stress, inflammation, hypercoagulability and neuroendocrine activation in the transition of hypertensive heart disease to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF).METHODS: We performed echocardiography for 112 patients (≥ 60 years old) with...

Isolation, culture and identification of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells from rat distal pulmonary arteries.

Cytotechnology

Peng G, Xu J, Liu R, Fu Z, Li S, Hong W, Chen J, Li B, Ran P.
PMID: 28321780
Cytotechnology. 2017 Oct;69(5):831-840. doi: 10.1007/s10616-017-0081-8. Epub 2017 Mar 21.

The culture of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is one of the most powerful tools for exploring the mechanisms of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Both pulmonary vasoconstriction and remodeling occur predominantly in distal pulmonary arteries (PA). In this study,...

In Vivo Hypocholesterolemic Effect of MARDI Fermented Red Yeast Rice Water Extract in High Cholesterol Diet Fed Mice.

Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM

Yeap SK, Beh BK, Kong J, Ho WY, Mohd Yusof H, Mohamad NE, Hussin AB, Jaganath IB, Alitheen NB, Jamaluddin A, Long K.

Fermented red yeast rice has been traditionally consumed as medication in Asian cuisine. This study aimed to determine the in vivo hypocholesterolemic and antioxidant effects of fermented red yeast rice water extract produced using Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development...

Immunomodulatory Effects of Probiotic Supplementation in Schizophrenia Patients: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Biomarker insights

Tomasik J, Yolken RH, Bahn S, Dickerson FB.
PMID: 26052224
Biomark Insights. 2015 Jun 01;10:47-54. doi: 10.4137/BMI.S22007. eCollection 2015.

Although peripheral immune system abnormalities have been linked to schizophrenia pathophysiology, standard antipsychotic drugs show limited immunological effects. Thus, more effective treatment approaches are required. Probiotics are microorganisms that modulate the immune response of the host and, therefore, may...

Surface dependent structures of von Willebrand factor observed by AFM under aqueous conditions.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces

Raghavachari M, Tsai H, Kottke-Marchant K, Marchant RE.
PMID: 11064254

von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large multimeric plasma glycoprotein that adheres rapidly to biomaterial surfaces upon exposure to blood. The adsorbed structure influences subsequent functional interactions with other blood components that mediate surface induced thrombosis. To examine the...
