Annals of the rheumatic diseases, Volume 63, Issue 4, 1 1 2004, Pages 373-381 Expression and activity of citrullinating peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes in monocytes and macrophages. Vossenaar ER, Radstake TR, van der Heijden A, van Mansum MA, Dieteren C, de Rooij DJ, Barrera P, Zendman AJ, van Venrooij WJ
Background: Antibodies directed to proteins containing the non-standard amino acid citrulline, are extremely specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Peptidylcitrulline can be generated by post-translational conversion of arginine residues. This process, citrullination, is catalysed by a group of calcium dependent peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes. Objective: To investigate the expression and activity of four isotypes of PAD in peripheral blood and synovial fluid cells of patients with RA.... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 93, Issue 7, 1 1 2004, Pages 860-863 Comparison of benefits from cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy versus idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Molhoek SG, Bax JJ, van Erven L, Bootsma M, Boersma E, Steendijk P, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a recently introduced therapeutic option for patients with severe heart failure and intraventricular conduction disturbances. However, it is estimated that 20% to 30% of patients may not respond to CRT. Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (IC) may respond less favorably to CRT compared with patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). Accordingly, the beneficial effects of CRT were evaluated in 2 subsets of patients (IC and IDC). Seventy-fou... Abstract

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, Volume 20, Issue 2, 1 1 2004, Pages 113-116 Thrombus in the left atrial appendage detected by intracardiac echocardiography. Jongbloed MR, Bax JJ, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) at the ostium of the pulmonary veins can potentially cure atrial fibrillation. Left-sided ablation procedures may carry a risk of thrombo-embolic events. Emboli from intracardiac thrombus originate from the left atrial appendage (LAA) in a substantial number of patients. The presence of spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrium (LA) and LAA peak emptying flow < or = 20 cm/s are also significantly related to thrombo-embolic events. Evaluation of the a... Abstract

Physiological measurement, Volume 25, Issue 2, 1 1 2004, Pages 565-576 Assessment of parallel conductance for the trans-cardiac conductance method: can we use the hypertonic saline method with pulmonary artery injections? Staal EM, Baan J, Jukema JW, van der Wall EE, Steendijk P
The trans-cardiac conductance (TCC) method provides on-line left ventricular (LV) volume signals by determining the electrical conductance of blood in the LV using central venous and epithoracic electrodes. Conductive structures outside the LV cause a 'parallel conductance' offset term (Vp) that is determined by bolus injections of hypertonic saline in the pulmonary artery (Vp(saline)). Analysis of the increased conductance signal during passage of the bolus through the LV yields Vp(sa... Abstract

Objective: Endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. The procedure is less invasive, and morbidity and most probably mortality are reduced. However, some problems, such as endoleakage, are yet to be resolved. Endoleakage can occur after graft migration, as a result of insufficient fixation of the stent graft. One cause is deficient healing between the aortic neck and the stent graft. We hypothesize that better healing, achieved by induction of vascula... Abstract

Virology, Volume 321, Issue 2, 1 1 2004, Pages 287-296 Stable transduction of large DNA by high-capacity adeno-associated virus/adenovirus hybrid vectors. Gonçalves MA, van der Velde I, Knaän-Shanzer S, Valerio D, de Vries AA
Viral vectors with high cloning capacity and host chromosomal integration ability are in demand for the efficient and permanent genetic modification of target cells with large DNA molecules. We have generated a hybrid gene transfer vehicle consisting of recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) replicative intermediates packaged in adenovirus (Ad) capsids. This arrangement allows cell cycle-independent nuclear delivery of recombinant AAV genomes with lengths considerably above the maximum size (i... Abstract

Human gene therapy, Volume 15, Issue 3, 1 1 2004, Pages 229-238 Pronounced antitumor efficacy by extracellular activation of a doxorubicin-glucuronide prodrug after adenoviral vector-mediated expression of a human antibody-enzyme fusion protein. de Graaf M, Pinedo HM, Oosterhoff D, van der Meulen-Muileman IH, Gerritsen WR, Haisma HJ, Boven E
Tumor-specific activation of the glucuronide prodrug of doxorubicin, N-[4-doxorubicin-N-carbonyl(oxymethyl)phenyl]-O-beta-glucuronyl carbamate (DOX-GA3), by beta-glucuronidase present in necrotic tumor areas might be improved after transduction of tumor cells to secrete a targeted form of beta-glucuronidase. To that end, we constructed an adenovirus vector, designated Ad/C28-GUSh, encoding human beta-glucuronidase fused to a human single-chain Fv (scFv) against the epithelial cell adhesion molec...

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, Volume 27, Issue 3, 1 1 2004, Pages 308-313 QRS duration and shortening to predict clinical response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure. Molhoek SG, VAN Erven L, Bootsma M, Steendijk P, Van Der Wall EE, Schalij MJ
Despite current selection criteria (NYHA Class III-IV, LVEF < 35%, QRS > 120 ms with LBBB), 30% of patients do not benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The use of QRS duration as selection criteria for CRT has not been evaluated systematically yet. Accordingly, the value of QRS duration at baseline (and reduction in QRS duration after CRT) to predict responders was studied. Patients were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months of CRT for NYHA Class, quality of life score,... Abstract

The Annals of thoracic surgery, Volume 77, Issue 3, 1 1 2004, Pages 794-9; discussion 799 Long-term follow-up of coronary artery bypass grafting in three-vessel disease using exclusively pedicled bilateral internal thoracic and right gastroepiploic arteries. Tavilla G, Kappetein AP, Braun J, Gopie J, Tjien AT, Dion RA
Background: Considerable data now exist that show that coronary artery bypass grafting with bilateral internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts produce better outcomes than the use of a single ITA graft. The benefit of a third arterial graft has been less well established. Therefore this article describes the survival and cardiac-related event-free survival in patients having bilateral ITA and gastroepiploic artery (GEA) grafting for 3-vessel disease. Methods: From November 1992 to May 2002, 201 pat... Abstract
