Spotlight on cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Worldwide, coronary heart disease (CHD) causes approximately one-third of all deaths in men and one-quarter of all deaths in women and represents a significant threat to public health. The global burden of CHD in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) or " healthy years of life lost " is projected to increase from around 47 million DALY globally in 1990 to 82 million in 2020 [1]. Myocar...
متن کاملSPOTLIGHT REVIEW Cardioprotection during cardiac surgery
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. For a large number of patients with CHD, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery remains the preferred strategy for coronary revascularization. Over the last 10 years, the number of high-risk patients undergoing CABG surgery has increased significantly, resulting in worse clinical outcomes in this patien...
متن کاملThe role of cGMP and PKG in cardioprotection
Interrupting blood flow to a heart (ischemia) for several minutes followed by several minutes of restored flow renders it very resistant to cell death from a subsequent much more prolonged ischemic episode. This phenomena, termed ischemic preconditioning, is the result of a complex signal transduction pathway which ultimately prevents formation of lethal mitochondrial permeability transition po...
متن کاملA Spotlight on Spotlight
In this paper, we have made an attempt to take a look under the hood of Spotlight and understand some of the following questions amongst others: • How well-integrated is Spotlight with the file system? • How reliable is the interface between Spotlight and the file system? • Is live update a myth or a reality under heavy file system activity? Based on our experiments, it seems that Spotlight is ...
متن کاملExogenous nitric oxide generates ROS and induces cardioprotection: involvement of PKG, mitochondrial KATP channels, and ERK.
We examined whether cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) and mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are involved in S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. SNAP significantly increased ROS generation in cardiomyocytes. This increase was suppressed by both 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) and glibenclamide. Direct opening of mitochondria...
