Myocardial gene transfer by selective pressure-regulated retroinfusion of coronary veins

Perspectives on selective retroinfusion of coronary veins as an alternative approach for myocardial gene transfer and angiogenesis.

Selective suction and pressure-regulated retroinfusion: an effective and safe approach to retrograde protection against myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing normal and high risk percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

OBJECTIVES We sought to study the safety, feasibility and efficacy of selective suction and pressure-regulated retroinfusion to protect against myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing normal risk and high risk balloon angioplasty. BACKGROUND In a pig model of acute myocardial ischemia it was previously shown that use of selective suction and pressure-regulated retroinfusion was able to sub...

Selective retroinfusion of GSH and cariporide attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in a preclinical pig model.

OBJECTIVE Reperfusion after ischemia may contribute to loss of myocardial function and increase in infarct size. Scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by glutathione (GSH) and inhibition of the sodium-proton-exchanger by cariporide are both capable of reducing myocardial reperfusion injury. We tested the efficacy of both agents applied regionally into the myocardium immediately before rep...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...

pragmatic transfer in compliment responses and chastisements by iranian learners of english

فرهنگ های گوناگون دریافت ها و تعبیر های مختلفی از تناسب و ادب دارند. بنابراین، ارتباط میان فرهنگی خطرات ذاتی خطای ارتباطی را نشان می دهد. این پژوهش به منظور تعیین وقوع انتقال منظورشناختی زبان در زبان بینابینی زبان آموزان ایرانی، اختلاف منظورشناختی زبان را بین فارسی و انگلیسی در کنش های کلامی پاسخ تحسین و انتقاد بررسی می کند.داده ها از میان 33 آمریکایی انگلیسی زبان، 85 زبان آموز ایرانی در سطوح م...
