Journal of vascular research, Volume 29, Issue 6, 1 1 1992, Pages 426-434 Thrombogenicity and intimal hyperplasia after conventional and thermal balloon dilation in normal rabbit iliac arteries. van Erven L, Velema E, Bos AN, Post MJ, Borst C
Acute occlusion and restenosis are the major complications of percutaneous transluminal coronary balloon angioplasty. Application of heat during balloon dilation was postulated to reduce these complications. We evaluated thrombogenicity and intimal hyperplasia of normal rabbit iliac arteries after conventional (37 degrees C) and thermal balloon dilation. Thermal dilation was performed with a radio-frequency-heated balloon, provided with three thermocouples attached to the inside of the balloon s... Abstract

European heart journal, Volume 13 Suppl E, 1 1 1992, Pages 15-21 Left ventricular segmental volume by conductance catheter and Cine-CT. van der Velde ET, van Dijk AD, Steendijk P, Diethelm L, Chagas T, Lipton MJ, Glanz SA, Baan J
The ability of the conductance catheter method to measure left ventricular segmental and total volume was evaluated by comparison with the Cine-CT technique. In the seven dogs studied, 19 conductance catheter and simultaneous Cine-CT runs were obtained. High correlation coefficients were found for total volume and segmental volumes, except in the basal segment. However, in most cases there was a significant variability in slope and intercept between animals. Both methods are promising tools for... Abstract

Between 1985 und March 1991 we have managed 8 upper urinary tract obstructions in kidney transplants using an endourological approach. After a graft rejection was excluded an obstruction was initially diagnosed by nephrosonography and further confirmed by IVP or antegrade pyelography. To investigate the urodynamic relevance of the stenosis, all patients underwent preoperative diuretic isotope renography. In all cases a percutaneous pyelostomy was done to preserve renal function. 7 of these 8 pat... Abstract

European heart journal, Volume 13 Suppl E, 1 1 1992, Pages 40-46 The end-systolic pressure-volume relationship in young animals using the conductance technique. Teitel DF, Klautz RJ, Cassidy SC, Steendijk P, van der Velde ET, van Bel F, Baan J
Evaluation of ventricular performance by the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR) has been extensively performed in the adult heart using the conductance technique. We undertook this study to validate the conductance technique and to generate ESPVRs in the small heart. To validate the technique, we simultaneously measured left ventricular volume by the conductance catheter and biplane cineangiography in nine piglets during changes in volume and contractility. Raw conductance volumes... Abstract

Mechanical origin of "acoustic" wall damage and its effect on wall healing. van Erven L, van Leeuwen TG, Post MJ, van der Veen MJ, Velema E, Borst C
Pulsed mid-infrared lasers are an alternative to excimer lasers for transluminal angioplasty. The mid-infrared lasers, however, were reported to produce "acoustic" wall damage that might impair the immediate and long-term results. To study the immediate and long-term effects on the arterial wall, 184 craters (1 mm diameter and 1 mm depth) were produced perpendicular to the intimal lining in the thoracic aortas of pigs. Three types of craters were evaluated: Ho-YSGG laser-induced (lambd... Abstract

Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cell migration and proliferation play a major role in the development of atherosclerotic lesions, graft occlusion, and restenosis after angioplasty. Cell migration implies the digestion of the surrounding extracellular matrix. Cell-associated proteolysis has been extensively studied in neoplastic and inflammatory cells, but very little is known about the proteolytic properties of VSM. We have evaluated the ability of rat cultured VSM cells to solubilize [3H]amino aci... Abstract

The American journal of pathology, Volume 141, Issue 1, 1 1 1992, Pages 153-160 Detection of extracellular neutrophil elastase in hamster lungs after intratracheal instillation of E. coli lipopolysaccharide using a fluorogenic, elastase-specific, synthetic substrate. Rudolphus A, Stolk J, van Twisk C, van Noorden CJ, Dijkman JH, Kramps JA
Repeated intratracheal instillations of E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in hamster lungs cause an influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) into the alveolar walls, with concomitant development of severe emphysema. It has been suggested that elastase, released by these PMNs, is involved in the development of emphysema. This study demonstrates the release of elastase from recruited PMNs in cryostat sections of hamster lungs, after being treated once, twice, or thrice with LPS, intratracheall... Abstract

To study adjacent tissue damage after delivery of holmium, thulium and excimer laser pulses, porcine thoracic aortas were irradiated in vivo. After 3 days, microscopic analysis of 67 craters produced by all three lasers demonstrated large dissections extending from the craters. The mean diameter of the dissections was smaller for excimer-induced craters (1.38 +/- 0.42 mm; n = 22) than for holmium-induced (2.7 +/- 0.87 mm; n = 22) and thulium-induced (2.37 +/- 0.42 mm; n = 14) craters (p less tha...

Developmental biology, Volume 151, Issue 1, 1 1 1992, Pages 166-175 Modulation of activities and RNA level of the components of the plasminogen activation system during fusion of human myogenic satellite cells in vitro. Quax PH, Frisdal E, Pedersen N, Bonavaud S, Thibert P, Martelly I, Verheijen JH, Blasi F, Barlovatz-Meimon G
Primary cultures of human myogenic stem cells (satellite cells) mimic myogenic differentiation. During this process, the expression of the components of the plasminogen activation system underwent modulation. Activities and mRNA levels of tissue-type and urokinase-type plasminogen activator were increased in a reproducible pattern during differentiation. A modulation of the mRNA level of PAI-2 was also observed. Human satellite cells expressed a urokinase receptor and also the mRNA level of this... Abstract

American journal of respiratory cell and molecular biology, Volume 6, Issue 5, 1 1 1992, Pages 521-526 Potency of antileukoprotease and alpha 1-antitrypsin to inhibit degradation of fibrinogen by adherent polymorphonuclear leukocytes from normal subjects and patients with chronic granulomatous disease. Stolk J, Davies P, Kramps JA, Dijkman JH, Humes JJ, Knight WB, Green BG, Mumford R, Bonney RJ, Hanlon WA
We have studied the relative efficacy of antileukoprotease (ALP) and alpha 1-antitrypsin (alpha 1AT) to inhibit the degradation of substrate by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) attached onto a fibrinogen matrix. PMN elastase activity was assayed by radioimmunoassay of a specific 21-residue cleavage product from the amino terminus of the A alpha chain, A alpha (1-21), of fibrinogen. The adherence of PMN (1.0 x 10(6)) to a fibrinogen matrix was facilitated by incubation with recombinant tumor ne... Abstract

A phase I study of teniposide administered orally for 5 consecutive days was performed. The first dose was 60 mg/m2/d, with increments of 25 mg/m2/d. Nineteen patients entered the study and received a total of 77 courses with a median of two (range, 1 to 12). Dose-limiting toxicity occurred at 160 mg/m2/d and consisted of myelosuppression, mainly leukocytopenia, and gastrointestinal toxicity. Sufficient recovery of blood counts was seen by day 21 to allow for a repeat course. Two patients, treat... Abstract
