Human CD2 locus control region (LCR) sequences are shown here to be essential for establishing an open chromatin configuration. Transgenic mice carrying hCD2 minigene attached only the 3′ transcriptional enhancer exhibited variegated expression when transgene integrated in centromere. In contrast, a with additional showed no variegation even latter centromeric positions. This result suggests that LCRs operate by ensuring configuration and short region, activity, functions establishment,...
Statins improve clinical outcome of patients with atherosclerosis, but their perioperative role in undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is unclear. We hypothesized that short-term treatment atorvastatin before CABG would the redox state saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), independently low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL)-lowering.In a randomized, double-blind controlled trial, 42 statin-naïve elective received 40 mg/d or placebo for 3 days surgery. Circulating inflammatory...
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common heart muscle disorder of nonischemic etiology associated with failure development and the risk malignant ventricular arrhythmias sudden cardiac death. A tailored approach to stratification prevention death required in genetic DCM given its variable presentation phenotypic severity. Currently, advances cardiogenetics have shed light on disease mechanisms, complex architecture DCM, polygenic contributors susceptibility role environmental triggers....
<h3>Background</h3> Exercise improves the clinical outcome of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD); however, ideal exercise duration for each patient remains unclear. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate effects on arterial elastic properties and antioxidant/pro-oxidant mechanisms in CAD. <h3>Design, setting, patients, interventions</h3> Sixty male CAD were randomised into two groups, underwent 30 min or 60 a crossover design 2 weeks9 wash-out period. In all participants aortic radial...
Background . The aim was to examine the association of depressive symptoms with fish eating habits, in elderly individuals. Methods From June October 2009, we studied 330 men and 343 women, aged 65 100 years, permanent inhabitants Ikaria Island. Among several characteristics, depression assessed Geriatric Depression scale (GDS range 0–15), while dietary habits through a valid semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Results Women had significantly higher values GDS compared ( versus ,...
<h3>Background</h3> Evidence shows that the soluble tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (sTRAIL) may play a protective role against atherosclerosis. This study sought to investigate potential association of sTRAIL levels with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and virtual histology characteristics coronary plaques. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients stable angina or positive for ischaemia non-invasive test were submitted left cardiac catheterisation. Coronary blood samples collected...
