Background and objectives: Ischaemic preconditioning is commonly regarded as one of the most powerful protective mechanisms against a subsequent lethal ischaemic injury during coronary artery bypass graft surgery but not practiced routinely. Experimentally, isoflurane, used volatile anaesthetic agent, provides myocardial protection through signal transduction cascade that remarkably similar to pathways identified in preconditioning. The aim our study was investigate whether pre-ischaemic...
Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare lesion of the thoracic cavity. Different etiologies have been reviewed, but idiopathic lesions without other symptoms are seldom reported. Usually, surgical interventions suggested, long-term outcomes not well established. Here, we report 24-year-old man with main pulmonary who successfully underwent aneurysmectomy and polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft replacement. The postoperative course was uneventful, following image study revealed normal size...
The aim of this study was to investigate the ability nano‐sized collagen I molecules (nanoparticles or nanofibrils) and a 5‐azacytidine (5‐aza) treatment enhance differentiation rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) toward cardiomyogenic phenotype in vitro . Second passaged MSCs were cocultured with for 24 h then treated 10 μ M 5‐aza h. results demonstrated that size increased significantly acquired flattened, triangular‐shaped morphology after 5‐aza. are connecting adjoining by forming...
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes regional tissue Doppler velocity after volume removal following regular hemodialysis (HD) in uremic patients. Is really preload-independent?Diastolic dysfunction divided into four stages: normal pattern, abnormal relaxation pseudonormalization and restrictive pattern. Pulse wave color echocardiography were important diagnostic tools for these forms diastolic dysfunction. However, they preload-dependent sometimes there confusion between...
The aim of this article is to introduce a new technique, named the "double balloon occlusion technique" (DBOT), for salvage acutely thrombosed grafts and demonstrate its safety efficacy.Acute thrombosis recognized as most common factor acute graft failures. A suitably percutaneous technique should be devised remove thrombi safely effectively. Care also taken prevent possible thromboembolic complications during procedures. Mainly composed two balloons, DBOT has been developed meet clinical...
This study focuses on preparation and valuation of the biodegradable, native, modified gelatin film as screen-printing substrates. Modified was prepared by crosslinking with various agents electrode array designed screen-printing. It observed that swelling ratio C-2, crosslinked glutaraldehyde EDC/NHS (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide) found to be lower (3.98%) than C-1 (crosslinked only glutaraldehyde) (8.77%) C-0 (without crosslinking) (28.15%). The...
Advances and improvements in mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) cell replacement therapies have been promising approaches to treat diabetes mellitus (DM) since their potent capacities for differentiation into various functional match the demands of tissue repair regeneration. The aim this study is examine effects nano-sized type I collagen molecules combination with nicotinamide (NCT) exendin-4 (EX4) on MSC insulin-secreting vitro evaluate reparative against 2 (T2DM) vivo. Differentiation...
Effective cancer therapy relies on delivering the therapeutic agent precisely to target site improve treatment outcome and minimize side effects. Although surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy are standard methods commonly used in clinics, hyperthermia has been developed as a new promising strategy for therapy. In this study, magnetic bioceramic hydroxyapatite (mHAP) nanocrystals have heat mediator intracellular hyperthermia. Hyaluronic acid (HA) modified mHAP synthesized by wet chemical...
Platelet gels (PG), activated by bovine thrombin (BT), have increasingly been used in orthopedic surgery. However, BT may induce immunological reactions and carry potential viral prion risks. To avoid these side effects, derived from human plasma (human thrombin, HT) is becoming the preferred platelet activator to prepare PG. limited experience data on clinical benefits of HT-generated PG (HTPG) surgery reported. Consequently, we designed performed a series studies dogs compare impacts...
Endovascular stent-grafting is an alternative treatment for adult patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), especially in elderly patients. Regarding young adults, endovascular therapy a reasonable choice if the landing zone sufficient. In this study, we report on with PDA successfully treated stent-grafting.
The latest European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II is a well-accepted risk evaluation system mortality in cardiac surgery Europe.To determine the performance of this new model Taiwanese patients.Between January 2012 and December 2014, 657 patients underwent at our institution. EuroSCORE scores all were determined preoperatively. short-term surgical outcomes 30-day in-hospital evaluated to assess II.Of [192 women (29.22%); age 63.5 ± 12.68 years], rate was 5.48%,...
Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disorder characterized by the increased vascular resistance and remodeling of pulmonary arteries. Evidences accumulated inflammatory cells in lung suggested that chronic inflammation might play role PAH. Regenerative cell therapy emerged as potential treatment for PAH through regulating host’s immune response. Hypothesis: The secretome induced pluripotent stem (iPSCs) was investigated their preventive therapeutic effects...
