Long-term effect of enhanced external counterpulsation on endothelial function in the patients with intractable angina.
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a noninvasive, pneumatic technique that provides favourable effects in patients with coronary artery disease. The objective of this study was to describe the long-term effect of EECP on endothelial function in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy. METHOD The study was performed in 15 patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy. All subjects...
متن کاملEnhanced external counterpulsation inhibits intimal hyperplasia by modifying shear stress responsive gene expression in hypercholesterolemic pigs.
BACKGROUND Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a circulation assist device that may improve endothelial dysfunction by increasing shear stress. Chronic exposure of vascular endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells to relatively high physiological shear stress has antiproliferative and vasoprotective effects. The present study hypothesizes that EECP inhibits intimal hyperplasi...
متن کاملAngiogenic effects of long-term enhanced external counterpulsation in a dog model of myocardial infarction.
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is an effective noninvasive treatment of coronary artery disease. Its mechanism of action remains unknown. An acute coronary occlusion dog model was created to explore the angiogenic effect of EECP. After coronary occlusion, 12 dogs were randomly assigned to either EECP (n = 6) or control (n = 6). Immunohistochemical studies of alpha-actin and von Wille...

از گذشته تا کنون، تحقیقات بسیاری صورت گرفته است که همگی به گونه ای بر مثمر ثمر بودن استفاده از استراتژی های یادگیری لغت در یک زبان بیگانه اذعان داشته اند. این تحقیق به بررسی تاثیر دو روش مختلف آموزش واژگان انگلیسی (کلیدی و بافتی) بر تلفظ و دانش لغوی فراگیران ایرانی زیر متوسط زبان انگلیسی و بر ماندگاری آن در حافظه می پردازد. به این منظور، تعداد شصت نفر از زبان آموزان ایرانی هشت تا چهارده ساله با...
15 صفحه اولPatterns of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression in Hematopoietic Malignant Cells
Background and Objective: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine which is overexpressed in many malignant cancers including leukemia. VEGF plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Determination of the pattern of VEGF expression in human leukemic cell lines could be useful not only in screening of new antileukemic agents but also to study the mechanism of their ...
