Abstract:
... Cryo-isolation of therapeutic cells such as pancreatic islets has been proposed as a novel new alternative to conventional enzymatic digestion of the pancreas (Taylor, Baicu., Transpl Proc. 43 (2011) 3181–3183. And Cell Transpl. 2013 (In Press)). Apart from avoiding the expense, inconsistencies and toxicity associated with the collagenase-digestion process, cryo-isolation embodies several inherent ...

Abstract:
... Spectral Doppler (velocimetric) indices are important indicators of blood perfusion and physiological status of internal organs. Doppler ultrasound is used in andrology to assess the blood flow in the testicular arteries, aiding in the diagnosis of scrotal disorders and abnormal spermatogenesis. It was proposed that blood flow indices measured in the testicular artery, namely, blood flow resistanc ...

Abstract:
... Deposition of lipids in the intima is followed by infiltration of inflammatory cells, like monocytic cells and T lymphocytes, in atherosclerosis. However, roles of lipids in the infiltration of the inflammatory cells are not clearly defined. We investigated the possible involvement of cholesterol or its catabolites in recruitment of monocytic cells. Consumption of a high cholesterol-diet resulted ...

A high-cholesterol diet led to an increased transcription of the IL-8 gene in the arteries and elevated levels of CXCL8 in sera of ApoE−/− mice, compared with those of wild-type C57BL/6 mice. Treatment of THP-1 monocyte/macrophage cells with 27-hydroxycholesterol (27OHChol) resulted in ...

The human monocyte cell line U937 was differentiated into an adherent macrophage phenotype using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to assay the phagocytosis of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) that may play a role in atherosclerosis. Microbeads were coated with the inflammatory ligand oxLDL to create a novel phagocytosis assay that models the binding of macrophages to oxLDL in the soli ...

Abstract:

Radioligand binding studies and functional assays on isolated smooth muscle preparations were performed in order to obtain a biochemical and functional characterization of the beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) subtypes involved in regulation of the smooth muscle relaxation of the calf's common digital artery. The results indicate that the common digital artery possesses two beta-AR populations (40% beta ...

Abstract:
... The standard of today's reptile practice calls on clinicians to use an ever-increasing array of diagnostic tools to gather information and obtain a definitive diagnosis. Few, if any, pathognomonic signs exist for reptile diseases, and for most clinical syndromes there is a lack of information regarding pathophysiology for one to define standard therapeutic protocols based solely on clinical signs ...

Abstract:
... A thorough knowledge about anastomoses between uterine and ovarian arteries could have great impact in surgical interventions. The present study aimed to use an angiographic procedure to show the vascular relationship between uterus and ovaries, possible anastomoses between uterine arteries during pregnancy, blood supply to gestational sacs, and the vascular pattern in the uterus of a bitch with p ...

Abstract:
... AIMS: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with high cardiovascular mortality. Impaired endothelial cell (EC) function and elevated angiotensin II levels may be central to the link between vascular dysfunction and RA. Here we investigated the action of angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockade on endothelium-dependent relaxation of the isolated saphenous artery in a rat model of monoarthritis ...

Abstract:
... Atherosclerosis is the predominant underlying pathology of many types of cardiovascular disease and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It is characterized by the retention of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in lipid-rich macrophages (foam cells) in the intima of arteries. Autoantigens derived from oxLDL can be used to vaccinate against atherosclerosis. However, a major chal ...

Abstract:
... We aimed to investigate the anti-hypertensive effect of radiofrequency (RF) renal denervation (RDN) in an animal model of hypertension.RF energy was delivered to bilateral renal arteries through a 2Fr catheter with opening abdomen in 8 spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and 8 Wistar–Kyoto rats (WKYs). Sham operation was performed in other 8 SHRs and 8 WKYs. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) ...
