The human femoral artery can bleed dangerously following the removal of a catheter uring cardiac catheterization. In this study, a modified technique of needle insertion, simply inserting the needle bevel-down instead of the standard bevel-up approach, was tested as a means to reduce bleeding after catheter removal. Large bore needle punctures were made in surgically exposed arteries of anesthetized pigs using either a standard technique (45 degree approach, bevel up) or a modified technique (25 degree approach, bevel down). For half the punctures, topical phenylephrine solution (1 mg/ml) was applied to the adventitia of the artery to cause constriction. Median bleeding rates were reduced from 81 to less than 1 ml/min/100 mmHg intraluminal pressure by the modified technique with application of phenylephrine. In most cases zero bleeding, that is self-sealing, of the arteries occurred. It is postulated that a flap-valve of tissue created by the modified technique produced this self-sealing behavior. Sophisticated modeling studies are needed to fully understand this new phenomenon. 相似文献

A series of (+/-)-3-(4-aminophenyl) pyrrolidin-2,5-diones substituted in the 1-, 3- or 1,3-position with an aryl or long chain alkyl function are weak inhibitors of the metabolism of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) by rat liver microsomes (68-75% inhibition) compared with ketoconazole (85%). Further studies with the 1-cyclohexyl analogue (1) (IC50 = 98.8 microM, ketoconazole, 22.15 microM) showed that it was not stereoselective in its inhibition. (+/-)-(1) was not an inhibitor of pig brain microsomal enzyme (ketoconazole, IC50 = 20.9 microM), had little effect on human liver microsomal enzyme (19.3%, ketoconazole, 81.6%) or human placental microsomal enzyme (9.8%, ketoconazole 73.9%) but was a weak inhibitor of human and rat skin homogenates (52.6% and IC50 = 211.6 microM respectively; ketoconazole, 38.8% and 85.95 microM). In RA-induced cell cultures of human male genital fibroblasts and HaCat cells, (+/-)-(1) was a weak inhibitor (c. 53% at 200 microM) whereas ketoconazole showed high potency (c. 65% at 0.625 microM and 0.25 microM respectively). The nature of the induced target enzyme is discussed. 相似文献

Recent data point to important roles for proteinases and their cognate proteinase-activated receptors (PARs) in the ontogeny and pathophysiology of the nervous system. PARs are a family of G-protein-coupled receptors that can affect neural cell proliferation, morphology and physiology. PARs also have important roles in neuroinflammatory and degenerative diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus-associated dementia, Alzheimer's disease and pain. These receptors might also influence the pathogenesis of stroke and multiple sclerosis, conditions in which the blood-brain barrier is disrupted. The diversity of effects of PARs on neural function and their widespread distribution in the nervous system make them attractive therapeutic targets for neurological disorders. Here, we review the roles of PARs in the central and peripheral nervous systems during health and disease, with a focus on neuroinflammatory and degenerative disorders. 相似文献

Cellular response to mechanical loading varies between the anatomic zones of the intervertebral disc. This difference may be related to differences in the structure and mechanics of both cells and extracellular matrix, which are expected to cause differences in the physical stimuli (such as pressure, stress, and strain) in the cellular micromechanical environment. In this study, a finite element model was developed that was capable of describing the cell micromechanical environment in the intervertebral disc. The model was capable of describing a number of important mechanical phenomena: flow-dependent viscoelasticity using the biphasic theory for soft tissues; finite deformation effects using a hyperelastic constitutive law for the solid phase; and material anisotropy by including a fiber-reinforced continuum law in the hyperelastic strain energy function. To construct accurate finite element meshes, the in situ geometry of IVD cells were measured experimentally using laser scanning confocal microscopy and three-dimensional reconstruction techniques. The model predicted that the cellular micromechanical environment varies dramatically between the anatomic zones, with larger cellular strains predicted in the anisotropic anulus fibrosus and transition zone compared to the isotropic nucleus pulposus. These results suggest that deformation related stimuli may dominate for anulus fibrosus and transition zone cells, while hydrostatic pressurization may dominate in the nucleus pulposus. Furthermore, the model predicted that micromechanical environment is strongly influenced by cell geometry, suggesting that the geometry of IVD cells in situ may be an adaptation to reduce cellular strains during tissue loading. 相似文献

Lovastatin is a statin drug, which lowers cholesterol level in blood due to inhibition of (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase. Date syrup is a rich medium for microbial growth and metabolite production. The main carbohydrates present in the date syrup are glucose and fructose. In this study, date syrup was used as a complex and bioresource medium for lovastatin production by Aspergillus terreus in the submerged cultivation. Optimization of the date syrup medium in order to achieve the highest titers of lovastatin and biomass was carried out. Four factors were studied by response surface methodology including concentration of date syrup carbohydrates, yeast extract concentration, pH, and rotation speed of the shaker. Optimal conditions for these factors found were as follows: concentration of date syrup carbohydrates, 64 g/l; yeast extract concentration, 15 g/l; pH, 6.5; and agitation speed, 150 rpm. It gave lovastatin concentration of 105.6 mg/l. Next, batch cultures in the optimal conditions were performed in a 2.5-l working volume bioreactor and led to the lovastatin titer of 241.1 mg/l during 12 days. Aspergillus terreus showed diauxic growth in the optimized medium with a shift from glucose to fructose assimilation during the run. Glucose and fructose assimilation kinetic parameters revealed that more lovastatin is produced during glucose assimilation, while more biomass was formed during fructose assimilation. 相似文献

Cardiovascular diseases are known as one of major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the many advancement in therapies are associated with cardiovascular diseases, it seems that finding of new therapeutic option is necessary. Cell therapy is one of attractive therapeutic platforms for treatment of a variety of diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. Among of various types of cell therapy, stem cell therapy has been emerged as an effective therapeutic approach in this area. Stem cells divided into multipotent stem cells and pluripotent stem cells. A large number studies indicated that utilization of each of them are associated with a variety of advantages and disadvantages. Multiple lines evidence indicated that stem cell therapy could be used as suitable therapeutic approach for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Many clinical trials have been performed for assessing efficiency of stem cell therapies in human. However, stem cell therapy are associated with some challenges, but, it seems resolving of them could contribute to using of them as effective therapeutic approach for patients who suffering from cardiovascular diseases. In the current review, we summarized current therapeutic strategies based on stem cells for cardiovascular diseases. J. Cell. Biochem. 119: 95–104, 2018. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a primary immunodeficiency disease in which a number of underlying gene defects are responsible for abnormalities in neutrophil development. The HCLS1-associated protein X1 (HAX1) mutation is associated with an autosomal-recessive form of SCN. Considering the potential of gene therapy approaches for the treatment of monogenic disorders, in this study we aimed to develop retroviral vectors expressing coding sequences (CDS) to be used for the removal of the genetic blockade in deficient hematopoietic cells. Following amplification of CDS with primers containing appropriate restriction sites, HAX1 CDS was cloned into an intermediate vector using TA-cloning. The sequence was transferred into a retroviral vector, followed by retroviral packaging in Plat-A cells. To show HAX1 protein expression, HEK293T cells were exposed to 10 multiplicity of infection (MOI) of retroviral particles and HAX1 expression was confirmed in these cells, using indirect intracellular flow cytometry. This vector was applied for in vitro transduction of hematopoietic stem cell with HAX1 mutation; after 11 days, cultured cells were analyzed for CD66acde and CD177 (neutrophil surface markers) expression. Increased neutrophil production in HAX1 viral vector-expressing hematopoietic cells was observed as compared to control vector transduced cells. Hence, according to the results, this type of therapy could be considered a potential treatment protocol for the disease. 相似文献
