Background— We used intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to evaluate recurrence after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Methods and Results— Forty-eight ISR lesions (41 patients with objective evidence ischemia) were treated SES. Recurrent was identified in 11 (all focal); repeat revascularization performed 10. These compared 16 (19 lesions) without as documented by angiography. Nine recurrent had a minimum area (MSA) <5.0 mm 2 versus 5 19...
It is not clear why some plaque ruptures lead to acute coronary syndromes (ACS) but others do not.We analyzed 80 in 74 patients and compared culprit lesions of ACS with nonculprit non-ACS patients; both were studied 6 54 patients. Intravascular ultrasound findings suggesting thrombus observed more frequently (n=35) (n=19) (n=26): 60% versus 32% 8% (P<0.001). At the minimal lumen site, smaller areas (3.3+/-1.5 5.4+/-2.6 6.1+/-2.0 mm2, P<0.001) greater area stenosis (61+/-15% 50+/-14%...
Little is known about causes of intimal hyperplasia (IH) after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation.Intravascular ultrasound was performed in 24 lesions with intra-SES restenosis and a comparison group 25 nonrestenotic SESs. To assess strut distribution, the maximum interstrut angle measured protractor centered on stent, visible struts were counted normalized for number cells. In SES patients, minimum lumen site compared image slices 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 mm proximal distal to this site....
The cerebellomedullary fissure, the only entrance or exit to fourth ventricle, is surrounded rostrally by cerebellar tonsils and biventral lobules caudally medulla oblongata, tela choroidea, lateral recesses. This fissure an important route in operations on ventricle. We studied microsurgical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) anatomy of using autopsied normal cerebellum. MRI revealed that visible as a slit indicated enhanced choroid plexus flocculus. Oriented anatomical information thus...
Complex services may be dynamically composed through combining distributed components on demand (i.e., when requested by a user) in order to provide new without preinstallation. Several systems have been proposed compose services. However, they require users request manner that is not intuitive the users. In allow user service an form (e.g., using natural language), this paper proposes semantics-based composition architecture. The architecture obtains semantics of form, and composes based...
This study was designed to determine the age-related changes in endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization acetylcholine (ACh) and its contribution relaxation isolated mesenteric artery from normotensive hypertensive rats. Membrane potentials contractions were recorded arteries male Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats spontaneously (SHR) that 5-6 wk old (young), 6-8 mo (adult), 20-26 (aged). Endothelium-dependent hyperpolarizations produced by ACh, applied both at resting state of membrane under conditions...
Alterations in voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels the arterial smooth muscle cells of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were investigated using whole-cell voltage clamp and compared with Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Single freshly isolated from resistance mesenteric arteries 4- to 5-week-old (young) 16- 18-week-old (adult) SHR. Elevated blood pressure was only evident adult SHR, not young In rats, channel current density (current amplitude normalized by cell capacitance) significantly higher (P...
Summary— The effects of cromakalim, a potassium channel activating drug, have been studied on isolated detrusor muscle strips from normal Landrace boar, and unstable mini‐pig human bladder. Cromakalim abolished spontaneous activity in all but did not abolish the ability any specimens to respond carbachol, increased extracellular K + or transmural nerve stimulation. Intravenous infusion cromakalim urethral obstructed caused characteristic contractions associated with bladder outflow...
Vasomotion is a rhythmic change in vascular caliber that has been described vivo mainly peripheral arterioles. In this study, we have characterized vasomotion large artery of the brain vivo. anesthetized rats, spontaneous was observed 38 47 basilar arteries visualized through cranial window. Base-line arterial diameter 259 +/- 9 (means SE) microns. Under control conditions, frequency 4.8 0.2 cycles/min, and amplitude 19 2% mean diameter. usually occurred simultaneously along entire length...
This study evaluated whether optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) could identify various coronary calcifications and accurately measure calcification thickness in comparison with histopathology. A total of 902 pathological cross-sections from 44 artery specimens human cadavers were examined to compare OFDI histological images. Histological was classified into four different types: (i) superficial dense calcified plates, (ii) deep intimal calcification, (iii) scattered microcalcification,...
