International journal of cardiac imaging, Volume 12, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 69-78 Left ventricular regression equations from single plane cine and digital X-ray ventriculograms revisited. Reiber JH, Viddeleer AR, Koning G, Schalij MJ, Lange PE
For the assessment of left ventricular volume from X-ray ventriculograms, widely known regression equations are used to correct for the irregular shape of the left ventricular lumen and the presence of the papillary muscles and trabeculations. These regression equations were derived in the late nineteen sixties and seventies. With all the changes in X-ray technology that have taken place over the past 20-30 years, the question was raised whether these regression equations were still valid. There... Abstract

International journal of cardiac imaging, Volume 12, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 79-83 Imaging of recurrent ventricular septal defect and supravalvular pulmonary stenosis eight years after assumed total surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot. van Dijkman PR, Voskuil K, Hazekamp MG, van der Wall EE
A 42-year-old man underwent assumed total surgical repair of an acyanotic tetralogy of Fallot: a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) was closed with a dacron patch and myectomy of the infundibulum of the right ventricular outflow tract was performed. Reexamination eight years later revealed a large recurrent VSD and by surprise a narrow supravalvular ridge above rudimentary pulmonary cusps in the pulmonary trunk, leading to a pressure drop of 70 mmHg across the supravalvular stenosis....

The American journal of physiology, Volume 270, Issue 6 Pt 2, 1 1 1996, Pages H2149-56 Low external pH limits cell death of energy-depleted cardiomyocytes by attenuation of Ca2+ overload. Atsma DE, Bastiaanse EM, Van der Valk L, Van der Laarse A
We studied the effect of external pH (pHe) on cell injury, ATP content, and intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), Na+ ([Na+]i), and H+ (pHi) during metabolic inhibition (NaCN + 2-deoxyglucose) in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Cell death during metabolic inhibition decreased at pHe < 7.4, with almost no cell death at pHe 6.0. Lowering pHe resulted in only temporary ATP conservation. During metabolic inhibition at pHe 7.4, [Ca2+]i rose from 86 +/- 44 nM to 2.5 +/- 0.4 microM, but at pHe... Abstract

Virology, Volume 220, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 367-376 Activation of oriLyt, the lytic origin of DNA replication of Epstein-Barr virus, by BZLF1. Schepers A, Pich D, Hammerschmidt W
oriLyt, the cis-acting element of the lytic origin of DNA replication of Epstein-Barr virus, is activated by the viral transactivator BZLF1 which belongs to the extended bZIP class of transcription factors. Seven binding sites for BZLF1, so-called ZRE sites, are located within oriLyt. By mutational analysis of individual ZRE sites, we found that lytic DNA replication is dependent on only four of these sites which colocate with the promoter of the BHLF1 gene. The remaining three ZRE sites distal... Abstract

In patients with so-called roentgenologically occult intraluminal lung tumours, an accurate assessment of tumour size, its location and peribronchial tumour extent is important prior to any intraluminal bronchoscopic therapy (IBT) with curative intent. In twenty patients with so-called occult early-stage lung cancers, clinical outcome was compared to high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings prior to IBT. HRCT showed peribronchial tumour extension or nodal enlargement in 7 of the 20 pa... Abstract

The virulence plasmid pYVe of Yersinia enterocolitica codes for the production of the outer membrane protein YadA and the secretion of several proteins, called Yops, which may protect this bacterium against killing by human granulocytes. Granulocytes kill ingested microorganisms by oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent mechanisms, the latter including antimicrobial polypeptides. The aim of this study was to determine whether virulent (pYVe+) Y. enterocolitica and plasmid-cured avirulent (pYVe-... Abstract

Thorax, Volume 51, Issue 5, 1 1 1996, Pages 496-502 Relationship between the inflammatory infiltrate in bronchial biopsy specimens and clinical severity of asthma in patients treated with inhaled steroids. Sont JK, Han J, van Krieken JM, Evertse CE, Hooijer R, Willems LN, Sterk PJ
Background: Current guidelines on the management of asthma advocate the use of anti-inflammatory treatment in all but mild disease. They define disease control in terms of clinical criteria such as lung function and symptoms. However, the relationship between the clinical control of the disease and inflammation of the airways is not clear. A cross sectional study was therefore undertaken to investigate the relationship between airways inflammation and measures of clinical control and bronchial h... Abstract

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN, Volume 7, Issue 5, 1 1 1996, Pages 694-701 Proteinase 3, the major autoantigen of Wegener's granulomatosis, enhances IL-8 production by endothelial cells in vitro. Berger SP, Seelen MA, Hiemstra PS, Gerritsma JS, Heemskerk E, van der Woude FJ, Daha MR
Proteinase 3 is the major target antigen of antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) in Wegener's granulomatosis and is contained in the azurophilic granules of polymorphonuclear neutrophils, the dominant cell type in vascular lesions during the early stages of systemic vasculitis. This study questioned whether neutrophil lysosomal enzymes, once released at the site of inflammation, are able to potentiate the influx of additional neutrophils by enhancing the production of the chemot...

Journal of internal medicine, Volume 239, Issue 4, 1 1 1996, Pages 361-363 Interstitial lung disease with pleural effusion caused by simvastin. De Groot RE, Willems LN, Dijkman JH
Simvastin, a HMG-CoA reductase blocker, is used for the treatment of certain forms of hypercholesterolaemia. Simvastin is prescribed to lower high serum levels of cholesterol by inhibiting a specific enzyme, hydroxy-methylglutarylCo-enzym-A (HMG-CoA) reductase. This ultimately leads to an increase of the number of LDL-receptors in the liver, and thus, to a decrease of the serum LDL-cholesterol. To a much lesser extent it lowers the serum VLDL-cholesterol and makes the serum HDL-cholesterol level... Abstract

Journal of bacteriology, Volume 178, Issue 7, 1 1 1996, Pages 1955-1961 A novel cell surface polysaccharide in Pseudomonas putida WCS358, which shares characteristics with Escherichia coli K antigens, is not involved in root colonization. de Weger LA, Bloemberg GV, van Wezel T, van Raamsdonk M, Glandorf DC, van Vuurde J, Jann K, Lugtenberg BJ
Previously we have shown that flagella and the O-specific polysaccharide of lipopolysaccharide play a role in colonization of the potato root by plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas strains WCS374 and WCS358. In this paper, we describe a novel cell surface-exposed structure in Pseudomonas putida WCS358 examined with a specific monoclonal antibody. This cell surface structure appeared to be a polysaccharide, which was accessible to the monoclonal antibody at the outer cell surface. Further study re... Abstract
