Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology, Volume 16, Issue 3, 1 1 1996, Pages 425-430 Evidence for a synergistic effect of calcium channel blockers with lipid-lowering therapy in retarding progression of coronary atherosclerosis in symptomatic patients with normal to moderately raised cholesterol levels. The REGRESS Study Group. Jukema JW, Zwinderman AH, van Boven AJ, Reiber JH, Van der Laarse A, Lie KI, Bruschke AV
To date, lipid-lowering therapy appears to be the most effective medical intervention to retard progression of coronary atherosclerosis. In spite of promising experimental results, clinical trials completed so far have failed to demonstrate that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) alone influence the evolution of established coronary atherosclerosis. To assess whether the two therapies may have an additive or synergistic beneficial effect on human atherosclerosis, we reviewed in this regard the data... Abstract

Clinical and experimental immunology, Volume 103, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 289-294 Regulation and production of IL-8 by human proximal tubular epithelial cells in vitro. Gerritsma JS, Hiemstra PS, Gerritsen AF, Prodjosudjadi W, Verweij CL, Van Es LA, Daha MR
A number of inflammatory kidney diseases are associated with interstitial nephritis and influx of leucocytes in the renal interstitium. Potentially the influx of neutrophils in the interstitium may be induced by the chemotactic cytokine IL-8. In the present study we have analysed the production of IL-8 by cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) in response to a number of proinflammatory cytokines. Primary cell lines of proximal tubular epithelium obtained from ten different kidne... Abstract
The Netherlands journal of medicine, Volume 48, Issue 1, 1 1 1996, Pages 8-10 Complications in the use of the subcutaneous tunnelled intratracheal oxygen catheter. in't Veen JC, Stolk J, Dijkman JH
Transtracheal oxygen delivery seems to be a safe procedure in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic hypoxaemia. Even so, serious complications do occur. Three patients in whom we used a subcutaneous tunnelled intratracheal oxygen catheter (ITO2C) are described. Surgical intervention was required in all because of complications from the procedure. One of the complications--tracheal and catheter obstruction with stridor and subcutaneous emphysema by granulomato... Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging, Volume 14, Issue 1, 1 1 1996, Pages 21-29 Assessment of acute myocardial infarction in man with magnetic resonance imaging and the use of a new paramagnetic contrast agent gadolinium-BOPTA. Holman ER, van Rossum AC, Doesburg T, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Visser CA
To assess the feasibility of and characterize the new paramagnetic contrast agent gadolinium-BOPTA/dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA) to detect acute myocardial infarctions with MR imaging, 24 patients (53.3 +/- 8.3 yr) were examined 9.3 +/- 3.6 days after a first myocardial infarction. Short-axis T1-weighted and T2-weighted MR imaging was performed at three slice levels. T1-weighted images were obtained before, immediately after, 15, 30, and 45 min after injection. Patients received either 0.05 or 0.1 mmol... Abstract

European journal of applied physiology and occupational physiology, Volume 73, Issue 1-2, 1 1 1996, Pages 113-116 Intravenous instrumentation alters the autonomic state in humans. Bootsma M, Swenne CA, Lenders JW, Jacobs MC, Bruschke AV
Intravascular instrumentation may induce syncope or presyncope. It is not known whether asymptomatic subjects also have autonomic reactions, albeit concealed. We addressed this issue by studying 44 healthy young male subjects of various levels of fitness, ranging from inactivity to athletic [mean maximal oxygen uptake was 49.1 (SD 10.7) ml*kg(-1)*min(-1), range 28.7-71.9 ml*kg(-1)*min(-1)]. The autonomic response to venous cannulation was quantified by measuring heart rate before cannulation (HR... Abstract

The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma, Volume 33, Issue 2, 1 1 1996, Pages 119-124 Treatment of nocturnal asthma by addition of oral slow-release albuterol to standard treatment in stable asthma patients. Van Keimpema AR, Ariaansz M, Raaijmakers JA, Nauta JJ, Postmus PE
Nocturnal and early-morning complaints in asthma patients are sometimes difficult to treat. We investigated the efficacy of an oral osmotically controlled release (OR) formulation of albuterol 8 mg in 35 patients with stable asthma and nocturnal complaints and/or morning dipping of the peak expiratory flow (PEF). The mean age was 45 years (range 22-70), the FEV(1) was 61 +/- 20% of predicted, and inhaled steroids were used by 32 patients. Albuterol OR was added to their usual treatment. The use... Abstract

Clinical cardiology, Volume 19, Issue 1, 1 1 1996, Pages 62-68 Heart rate variability during repeated incremental head-up tilt discloses time dependence of individual autonomic dynamics. Bootsma M, Swenne CA, Bruschke AV
According to the Rosenblueth-Simeone model, the heart rate (HR) is proportional to the sympathovagal balance. The individual proportionality constant is the intrinsic HR, which can be determined only invasively. The percentage low-frequency spectral HR variability power, relative to the low- plus high-frequency spectral power (%LF) has been raised as a noninvasive alternative. We previously studied young healthy male subjects, in whom gradual autonomic changes were induced by incremental head-up... Abstract

Peritoneal dialysis international : journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, Volume 16 Suppl 1, 1 1 1996, Pages S362-7 Impaired initial cell reaction in CAPD-related peritonitis. Koopmans JG, Boeschoten EW, Pannekeet MM, Betjes MG, Zemel D, Kuijper EJ, Krediet RT
Our objective was to determine the incidence of peritonitis episodes with an impaired initial cell reaction (IICR:neutrophil number < 100 x 10(6)/L) over a period of ten years, and to find possible explanations for this unusual presentation of peritonitis. A retrospective review of the files of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients included in the CAPD program 1984 and 1993 was done. Analysis of cytokine and prostanoid patterns during four peritonitis episodes with an IICR... Abstract
Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, Volume 3, Issue 3, 1 1 1996, Pages 215-223 Different Effects of Lipopolysaccharide on Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Production in Aortic Media in Vivo and in Culture. van Leeuwen RT, Quax PH, Tippins JR, Antoniw JW, Andreotti F, Maseri A, Kluft C, Sperti G
Background: Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) has been shown to increase the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) in the vessel wall. Endotoxin is known to increase PAI-1 production in endothelial cells, but its action on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is presently not clear. In this study we determined the effect of endotoxin on PAI-1 and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) production by aortic SMCs in vivo in two animal species, and in culture. Methods: The aortas of Sprague D... Abstract
Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, Volume 2, Issue 4, 1 1 1996, Pages 223-227 The role of bronchoscopic therapy in bronchial granular cell myoblastoma: presentation of three cases. van Felius CL, Postmus PE, Beaumont F, Strankinga W, Teengs J, Sutedja TG
Tracheobronchial granular cell myoblastoma (GCM) is rare. Although the tumor has some malignant properties, it is considered benign, and there is no consensus regarding treatment. Three cases are reported here. Bronchoscopic treatment in patients with GCM may be attempted as a first approach in case the tumor is intraluminal. Abstract

European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 5, 1 1 1996, Pages 299-304 Upper and lower extremity somatosensory evoked potential recording during surgery for aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. Shahin GM, Hamerlijnck RP, Schepens MA, Ter Beek HT, Vermeulen FE, Boezeman EH
Since tibial nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) recording is influenced by hemodynamic changes and anesthetics, alterations cannot always be attributed to spinal cord ischemia, so causing false positive results. Additional recording of median nerve SEPs facilitates interpretation. From January 1988 to July 1993, 60 consecutive patients (44 men, 16 women, mean age 66 years, ranging from 26 to 83 years) underwent surgery for an aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta using a non-hepari...

To investigate the feasibility of thoracoscopic resection, a pilot study was performed in patients with clinically resectable lung tumors. In 40 patients, Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was performed because of suspicion of malignancy. There were 29 men and 11 women with a median age of 54.8 years (range 18 to 78). Preoperative indications were suspected lung cancer and tumor in 27 patients, assessment of tumor resectability in 7 patients, and probability of metastatic tumors in 6 patien... Abstract
Advances in peritoneal dialysis. Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis, Volume 12, 1 1 1996, Pages 15-18 Renal function influences interleukin-8 background production by cultured human mesothelial cells. Visser CE, Brouwer-Steenbergen JJ, Postmus PE, Meijer S, Struijk DG, Krediet RT, Beelen RH
Previous studies have demonstrated that mesothelial cells (MC) are important in the local host defense system of the peritoneal cavity. Most studies on the function of MC are performed on MC derived from material of patients with normal renal function (NRF). The aim of the present study was to examine differences in interleukin (IL)-8 expression by MC from patients with NRF and from patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Therefore, MC were isolated from the omentum and pleural exudate of... Abstract

Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, Volume 28 Suppl 1, 1 1 1996, Pages S37-44 Magnetic resonance techniques for assessment of myocardial viability. van der Wall EE, Vliegen HW, de Roos A, Bruschke AV
In general, the following three standards for myocardial viability can be used: (a) preserved coronary flow (adequate perfusion); (b) preserved wall motion (systolic wall thickening); and (c) preserved metabolism (metabolic integrity). The current magnetic resonance (MR) techniques provide a great potential to measure all three standards of viability. Adequate perfusion can be assessed by spin-echo MR imaging and/or ultrafast MR imaging, systolic wall thickening by cine MR imaging, and the prese... Abstract

European heart journal, Volume 16, Issue 12, 1 1 1995, Pages 1860-1871 Comparison between regional myocardial perfusion reserve and coronary flow reserve in the canine heart. Geldof MJ, Schalij MJ, Manger Cats V, van der Zwet PM, Steendijk P, van der Velde ET, Nagtegaal EM, Reiber JH, Bruschke AV
Diameter stenosis and flow reserve are indices of morphological and functional severity of coronary artery stenosis. Flow reserve can be determined at coronary arterial or at myocardial level. In the presence of functional collateral circulation, coronary flow reserve and myocardial perfusion reserve may differ. We studied coronary flow, coronary flow reserve and myocardial perfusion reserve in an open chest dog model with intact collateral circulation, before and after induction of coronary art... Abstract
