background: myocardial bridge (mb) is generally defined as a superfacial muscular band that forms sporadic or multiple across the coronary artery in dog, cat, sheep, and human. objectives: from the view of embryology mb is a preformatted structure with coronary artery during  forming. the type of study in human is during sonography and angiography examination, but in veterinary science the stud...

introduction: cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent and consistently reproducible method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. the aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (ot) induced cardioprotection and its signaling pathways on lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and creatine kinase-mb isoenzyme (ck-mb) in the anesthetized rats. methods: eighty...

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate inhibition and anti-cancer effects of linoleic acid on the mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 human breast cancer cells. materials and methods: cell lines human breast cancer mcf-7 (gdc055) and mda-mb-231 (htb-26) cell lines were obtained from atcc. mcf-7 estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line and  the estrogen receptor negative huma...

BACKGROUND The presence of a myocardial bridge (MB) has been shown to promote atherosclerotic plaque formation proximal to the MB, presumably because of hemodynamic disturbances provoked by retrograde blood flow toward this segment in cardiac systole. We aimed to determine the anatomic and functional properties of an MB related to the extent of atherosclerosis assessed by intravascular ultrasou...

Myoglobin (Mb) is a protein that enters rapidly and is rapidly cleared from plasma after coronary reperfusion. We sought to determine the accuracy with which a rapid rise in plasma [Mb] could predict successful coronary artery reopening in patients undergoing coronary arteriography in conjunction with attempted reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction. In 42 patients, plasma Mb levels were me...

Medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the most frequent malignant brain tumors in children. The current standard treatment regimen consists of surgical resection, craniospinal irradiation, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Although these treatments have the potential to increase the survival of 70-80% of patients with MB, they are also associated with serious treatment-induced morbidity. The current risk str...

Recent advances in analytic techniques have increased the diagnostic value of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), enabling earlier and more sensitive results. The CK-MB mass immunoassays, that utilise the monoclonal anti-CK-MB in conjunction with anti-M or anti-B antibodies, are able to measure accurately small changes during the early hours after myocardial infarction (MI). CK-MB has two main limitati...

This clinical trial shows remarkable results.Not only was it shown that the use of IQAir® HyperHEPA® filtration systems could halt the deterioration of allergy symptoms, but that they can also lead to a reduction in symptoms. It is especially noteworthy that IQAir® achieves this result without any short or long-term side effects which are often observed with allergy drugs. This clinical trial a...

BACKGROUND Elevation of serum creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB) after percutaneous coronary interventions has been associated with early and late mortality; however, the pathogenesis of CK-MB elevation is still unknown. We hypothesized that CK-MB elevation was related to atherosclerotic plaque burden as assessed by preintervention intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). METHODS AND RESULTS We stud...
