Effect of heparin on adaptation of vein grafts to arterial circulation.
We studied the effect of heparin on wall thickening in balloon-injured carotid arteries and vein grafts in rabbits. Heparin (0.3 mg/kg of body weight/hour) reduced intimal cross-sectional area in balloon-injured carotid arteries at 2 weeks (0.20 +/- 0.05 mm2 vs. 0.05 +/- 0.02 mm2, p = 0.02). Autoradiography after a single pulse of tritiated thymidine revealed no labeling in the few intimal cell...
متن کاملA novel vein graft model: adaptation to differential flow environments.
Accelerated intimal hyperplasia in response to altered flow environment is critical to the process of vein bypass graft failure. Lack of a reproducible animal model for dissecting the mechanisms of vein graft (VG) remodeling has limited progress toward solving this clinically significant problem. Combining a cuffed anastomotic technique with other surgical manipulations, we developed a well-def...
متن کاملVenous identity is lost but arterial identity is not gained during vein graft adaptation.
OBJECTIVES Ephrin ligands and Eph receptors are signaling molecules that are differentially expressed on arteries and veins during development. We examined whether Eph-B4, a venous marker, and Ephrin-B2, an arterial marker, are regulated during vein graft adaptation in humans and aged rats. METHODS AND RESULTS Eph-B4 transcripts and immunodetectable protein are downregulated in endothelial an...
متن کاملCilio-retinal arterial circulation in central retinal vein occlusion.
The hypothesis that an occlusion of the central retinal artery is an essential prerequisite for haemorrhage formation after central retinal vein obstruction has been investigated by examining the fundus changes in patients with a cilio-retinal arterial circulation; the findings are at variance with the 'combined occlusion hypothesis'. Comparisons were made between the pathological features in t...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
