Myocardial perfusion characteristics during machine perfusion for heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND Optimal parameters for machine perfusion preservation of hearts prior to transplantation have not been determined. We sought to define regional myocardial perfusion characteristics of a machine perfusion device over a range of conditions in a large animal model. METHODS Dog hearts were connected to a perfusion device (LifeCradle, Organ Transport Systems, Inc, Frisco, TX) and cold p...
متن کاملThe endocannabinoid nervous system: unique opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
The active principle in marijuana, Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has been shown to have wide therapeutic application for a number of important medical conditions, including pain, anxiety, glaucoma, nausea, emesis, muscle spasms, and wasting diseases. Delta(9)-THC binds to and activates two known cannabinoid receptors found in mammalian tissue, CB1 and CB2. The development of cannabinoid-...
متن کاملMacrophage differentiation and function in atherosclerosis: opportunities for therapeutic intervention?
The macrophage is exquisitely sensitive to its microenvironment, as demonstrated primarily through in vitro study. Changes in macrophage phenotype and function within the atherosclerotic plaque have profound consequences for plaque biology, including rupture and arterial thrombosis leading to clinical events such as myocardial infarction. We review the evidence for dynamic changes in macrophage...
متن کاملPercutaneous subclavian artery bypass for myocardial perfusion during endovascular intervention.
A 75-year-old woman with familial hypercholesterolemia was admitted with unstable angina. Thirteen years earlier, she had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting with a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and subsequently bilateral common carotid bypass surgery through a second sternotomy 3 years later. Physical examination revealed left brachial h...
متن کاملVascular pharmacology: opportunities for intervention.
The vascular wall, composed of adventitia, smooth muscle cells, and an endothelium, is no longer viewed as a static structure but rather as a highly mutable organ responsive to the local mechanical, hemodynamic, and neurohumoral milieus. The vasculature, along with the heart, distributes nutrient blood flow throughout the body. Resistance in the microvasculature is critical to regulation of art...
