Respiratory medicine, Volume 91, Issue 5, 1 1 1997, Pages 297-309 The development of the 'Quality-of-life for Respiratory Illness Questionnaire (QOL-RIQ)': a disease-specific quality-of-life questionnaire for patients with mild to moderate chronic non-specific lung disease. Maillé AR, Koning CJ, Zwinderman AH, Willems LN, Dijkman JH, Kaptein AA
Chronic non-specific lung disease (CNSLD) encompasses asthma as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recently in health care, there has been increasing awareness in the functional, psychological and social aspects of the health of patients; their quality of life (QOL). Quality-of-life research addressing CNSLD patients has been rather underdeveloped for a long period of time. Recently, however, the importance of QOL is being increasingly recognized, and several research groups h... Abstract

The European respiratory journal, Volume 10, Issue 4, 1 1 1997, Pages 910-913 Effects of four different methods of sampling arterial blood and storage time on gas tensions and shunt calculation in the 100% oxygen test. Smeenk FW, Janssen JD, Arends BJ, Harff GA, van den Bosch JA, Schönberger JP, Postmus PE
At the present time, plastic syringes are most commonly used for collecting arterial blood. The oxygen tension of the arterial blood (Pa,O2) in these syringes may fall. We studied the effect of the type of syringe, metabolism, and storage time on the arterial oxygen pressures measured and on the pulmonary shunt calculated. In 10 patients, 2-3 h after aortacoronary bypass surgery, a 100% oxygen test was performed. Four arterial blood gas samples were withdrawn from each patient in random order, t... Abstract

Theriogenology, Volume 47, Issue 6, 1 1 1997, Pages 1275-1295 Equine arteritis virus. Glaser AL, Chirnside ED, Horzinek MC, de Vries AA
Equine arteritis virus (EAV) is a small, enveloped, positive-stranded RNA virus, in the family Arteriviridae , W.H.ich can infect both horses and donkeys. While the majority of EAV infections are asymptomatic, acutely infected animals may develop a wide range of clinical signs, including pyrexia, limb and ventral edema, depression, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis. The virus may cause abortion and has caused mortality in neonates. After natural EAV infection, most horses develop a solid, long-term i... Abstract

Pediatric research, Volume 41, Issue 3, 1 1 1997, Pages 321-326 Oxidative stress during post-hypoxic-ischemic reperfusion in the newborn lamb: the effect of nitric oxide synthesis inhibition. Dorrepaal CA, van Bel F, Moison RM, Shadid M, van de Bor M, Steendijk P, Berger HM
Post-hypoxic-ischemic (HI) reperfusion induces endothelium and neurons to produce excessive amounts of nitric oxide and superoxide, leading to peroxynitrite formation, release of protein-bound metal ions (i.e. iron), and cytotoxic oxidants. We produced severe HI in 18 newborn lambs and serially determined plasma prooxidants (non-protein-bound iron), lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde), and antioxidative capacity [ratio of ascorbic acid/dehydroascorbic acid (AA/DHA), alpha-tocopherol, sulfhydryl...

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 79, Issue 6, 1 1 1997, Pages 773-776 Value of fast gradient echo magnetic resonance angiography as an adjunct to coronary arteriography in detecting and confirming the course of clinically significant coronary artery anomalies. Vliegen HW, Doornbos J, de Roos A, Jukema JW, Bekedam MA, van der Wall EE
We investigated the additional value of magnetic resonance (MR) angiography in 12 patients with clinically significant coronary anomalies. In 5 patients, the referring cardiologist requested additional evaluation because coronary arteriography was inconclusive about the course of the anomaly. For comparison, 7 patients with known anomalous coronary arteries were collected from our database. In these patients, there had been no doubt about the course of the anomalous coronary arteries. MR angiogr... Abstract

Circulation, Volume 95, Issue 4, 1 1 1997, Pages 924-931 Detection and quantification of dysfunctional myocardium by magnetic resonance imaging. A new three-dimensional method for quantitative wall-thickening analysis. Holman ER, Buller VG, de Roos A, van der Geest RJ, Baur LH, van der Laarse A, Bruschke AV, Reiber JH, van der Wall EE
Background: Regional left ventricular dysfunction is a major consequence of myocardial ischemia, and its extent determines long-term prognosis. Accurate and reproducible analysis of left ventricular dysfunction is therefore useful for risk stratification and patient management. Methods and results: Short-axis cardiac cine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed in 25 patients after anterior myocardial infarction at 21 +/- 2.1 days after the acute onset. The MR images were analyzed with the... Abstract

European journal of clinical investigation, Volume 27, Issue 2, 1 1 1997, Pages 148-156 An enzyme immunoassay for polymorphonuclear leucocyte-mediated fibrinogenolysis. Bos R, van Leuven CJ, Stolk J, Hiemstra PS, Ronday HK, Nieuwenhuizen W
Upon stimulation, polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) release potent serine proteases, i.e. elastase, cathepsin G and proteinase 3, which contribute to the degradation of tissue and plasma components. Here, we describe the development of a plasma test to assess PMN-mediated fibrinogenolysis as a biochemical marker for actual PMN-derived proteolysis in vivo, useful for monitoring therapeutic efficacy, i.e. of elastase inhibitors. We generated a monoclonal antibody (MAb), designated 1-1/B3, with a... Abstract

Thorax, Volume 52, Issue 2, 1 1 1997, Pages 149-152 Association of anxiety with perception of histamine induced bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma. Spinhoven P, van Peski-Oosterbaan AS, Van der Does AJ, Willems LN, Sterk PJ
Background: The perception of bronchoconstriction varies among patients with asthma and this perception may be related to the covariation of sensory and affective aspects of dyspnoea. A study was performed to evaluate whether there are differences in the perception of histamine induced bronchoconstriction between anxious and non-anxious perceivers and whether anxious perception of bronchoconstriction can be predicted by higher levels of baseline anxiety. Methods: Seventy eight asthmatic subjects... Abstract

The observed increase in urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and its receptor (u-PAR) in synovial tissue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suggests pathophysiological involvement of the plasminogen activation (PA) system in inflammatory joint disease. In the present study, we investigated the capacity of the PA system to degrade non-mineralized and mineralized bone-like matrix in vitro as a model for bone destruction. Transfected mouse LB6 cell lines, that expressed either human... Abstract

Sero-epidemiological surveys have revealed that equine arteritis virus (EAV) is prevalent in most European countries. The virus causes sporadic cases of respiratory disease and abortion in horses, the incidence of which has increased in recent years. Mares and geldings eliminate virus after acute infection, but 30% to 60% of stallions become persistently infected. In these animals, EAV is maintained within the reproductive tract and is shed continuously in the semen. Persistent infection with EA... Abstract

Pediatric research, Volume 41, Issue 1, 1 1 1997, Pages 57-64 Perinatal left ventricular performance in fetal sheep: interaction between oxygen ventilation and contractility. Berning RA, Klautz RJ, Teitel DF
Left ventricular (LV) output nearly triples at birth, in association with increases in serum catecholamines. Similar increases in catecholamines in utero, however, do not increase output. We hypothesized that catecholamines increase contractility in utero, but that output cannot increase until LV loading conditions are changed by oxygen ventilation. To address this hypothesis, we studied nine fetal sheep acutely placed in a warm water bath (40 degrees C). Conductance and manometric catheters wer... Abstract

Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production may reduce post-hypoxic-ischemic (HI) neonatal brain damage, but may also induce pulmonary hypertension by inhibiting endogenous NO production in the pulmonary vascular bed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitric oxide inhibition on pulmonary artery pressure and oxygen need after hypoxic ischemia. Severe HI was produced in 18 newborn lambs. After completion of HI the lambs were divided into three groups of 6 animals receiving either... Abstract
