background: systolic blood pressure recovery (rsbp) is of prognostic value for predicting the survival and co-morbidity rate in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). this study investigated the association between rsbp and exercise indices after complete cardiac rehabilitation program (cr) in a population-based sample of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). methods...

background: induced pluripotent stem cells (ipscs) can be obtained from autologous cells for therapeutic purposes. so, far, many studies have been done to produce induced pluripotent cells by transferring specific pluripotency genes using different methods. in this study, pluripotency gene expression induced by external stresses was assessed in cord blood mononuclear cells. methods: in this exp...

an animal model was designed to study the effect of large volume hypertonic solutions (hts) for re suscitation following a hypovolemic shock. resuscitation in hypovolemic animals was performed by infusion of 15 ml/kg of normal saline (group i), 5% sodium bicarbonate (nahco3) (group ii), 5% sodium chloride (naci) and 7.5 % nahco3 1:1 vn (group iii), 5% nac1 (group iv), and 5% nacl and 5% serum a...

introduction: we previously shown that microinjection of glutamate into the hdb of rat elicited cardiovascular depressive responses. microinjection of ap5 (an nmda receptor antagonist, 2.5 mm, 50 nl) and cnqx (an ampa receptor antagonist, 1 mm, 50 nl) caused no significant changes in the blood pressure and heart rate. microinjection of bicuculline (bmi: a gabaa receptor antagonist, 1 mm, 50 nl)...
