Endothelial cell dysfunction: can't live with it, how to live without it.

چکیده

Endothelial cell dysfunction is emerging as an ultimate culprit for diverse cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular complications of chronic renal diseases, yet the definition of this new syndrome, its pathophysiology, and therapy remain poorly defined. Here, I summarize some molecular mechanisms leading from hyperhomocystinemia, elevated asymmetric dimethylarginine, and advanced glycolation end product-modified protein level to the proatherogenic, prothrombogenic, and proinflammatory endothelial phenotype and offer a model of endothelial dysfunction based on the interconnectedness of diverse functions. Finally, several therapeutic strategies to prevent and correct endothelial dysfunction are discussed in the light of uncertainty of their action modulated by the endothelial dysfunction per se.

Beta cell transplantation and immunosuppression: can't live with it, can't live without it.

Since the first diabetic was treated with insulin in 1922, millions of patients have relied on frequent insulin injections and glucose monitoring to combat the disease and its complications. Improved immunosuppressive regimens in islet transplantation developed in the Edmonton protocol raised the hopes of diabetics worldwide for a complete cure and insulin independence. However, transplant succ...

Determination the Role of Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule-1(ESM-1) in Childhood Bronchial Asthma

  Background Endothelial Cell-Specific Molecule-1 (ESM-1) is a 50 kDa soluble proteoglycan that is produced mainly the vascular endothelial cells of the kidney and lung. It is produced by the effects of proangiogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and it indicates activation and dysfunction of the vascular endothelium. We aimed to detect the role of ESM-1 in childre...

Analytical evaluation of an innovative decision-making algorithm for VM live migration

In order to achieve the virtual machines live migration, the two "pre-copy" and "post-copy" strategies are presented. Each of these strategies, depending on the operating conditions of the machine, may perform better than the other. In this article, a new algorithm is presented that automatically decides how the virtual machine live migration takes place. In this approach, the virtual machine m...
