conclusions no significant difference in reducing post bypass inflammation between preoperative steroid treatment and combined preoperative and intraoperative steroid administration reported and they had the same effects. results in both groups, no significant difference with variation of expression for il-6 (inflammatory factor) and il-10 (anti-inflammatory factor) in different times after byp...

We examined the effects of physiologic infusions of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on cardiovascular hemodynamics and on reflex responses initiated by decreasing cardiopulmonary baroreceptor stimulation (with lower body negative pressure) in 10 healthy, captopril-pretreated young men (19-27 yr). Their responses were compared with those of four volunteers given isosmotic infusion. Heart rate, stroke...

The effects ofpulmonary hypertension on cardiopulmonary function were investigated by ventilatory, haemodynamic, and metabolic studies at rest and during exercise. The studies were carried out in 12 patients with primary, thromboembolic, or residual pulmonary hypertension after surgical closure of intracardiac defects, and in II patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to obstructive lung...

the present study was designed to examine the anatomical parameters of the cardiopulmonary system, the function of venous blood gas parameters and the development of ascites incidence in two genetic line chickens. three hundred forty day-old chickens from two pure broiler breeder lines, which were different in their growth rate and susceptibility to ascites syndrome were obtained. the relative ...

This study examines abnormal LFT (mainly bilirubin) on postoperative day three as a predictor of open cardiac surgery mortality.1 Preoperative hyperbilirubinemia, high right atrial pressure, number of heart valves replaced and high blood transfusion requirements are risk factors predicting postoperative hyperbilirubinemia in 81% of all patients.2 This study strictly excluded high-risk condition...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of the ultrapotent poly(adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor INO-1001 on cardiac and mesenteric function during reperfusion in an experimental model of cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioplegic arrest. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, and blinded experimental study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS : Twelve anesthetized dogs...
