Acute coronary syndromes Expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 on circulating platelets of patients with acute coronary syndrome and association with left ventricular functional recovery

Expression of SDF-1 Receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7 on Circulating Platelets of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Association with Left Ventricular Functional Recovery

Correlation between the Level of Creatinine, Serum Cardiac Troponines and Left Ventricle Function Tests in Patients with Chronic Renal Diseases without Acute Coronary Syndrome

Background and Objectives:  The aim of this study was to survey the relationship between the level of  creatinine,cardiac troponins serum and the function of  the left ventricle in patients with  kidney insufficiency,without acute coronary syndrome. Materialsand Methods:The sample  was150 patients with nondialysis chronic kidney disease without  acute  coronary  syndrome,  hospitalized  at  I...

Expression of stromal-cell-derived factor-1 on circulating platelets is increased in patients with acute coronary syndrome and correlates with the number of CD34+ progenitor cells.

AIMS Previous experimental studies have suggested that platelet stromal-cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) regulates mobilization and recruitment of haematopoietic progenitor cells supporting revascularization in mice. However, there are no clinical data available regarding platelet-bound SDF-1 in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the platelet-s...

Stem cell highways: signalling beats trafficking?

After the oocyte is fertilized, the resulting one-cell zygote gives rise to all stem cell progenies. During the developmental process, these cells are necessary to generate all specialized tissues. However, some of them elude the specification cues and remain quiescent in the adult tissue, as long as the organism does not suffer from injury, illness, or specific cell-type depletion. Most adult ...

Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Based on Combined Training on VEGF/Endostatin Gene Expression Ratio in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Background: Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death in the world. With the increase in the incidence of these diseases, surgical and non-surgical interventions followed by cardiovascular rehabilitation programs have become more important. The process of angiogenesis and improvement of blood flow is considered as one of the therapeutic goals in these patients, and vascu...
