Recently we have described the molecular cloning of the genetic determinant coding for the S-fimbrial adhesin (Sfa), a sialic acid-recognizing pilus frequently found among extraintestinal Escherichia coli isolates. Fimbriae from the resulting Sfa+ E. coli K-12 clone were isolated, and an Sfa-specific antiserum was prepared. Western blots indicate that S fimbriae isolated from different uropatho...
The objective of our study was to resolve two issues pertaining to motoneuron (MN) spike frequency adaptation (SFA): 1) to develop an index of SFA that is sensitive to a wide range of adaptation patterns and would correlate well with MN excitability and 2) to determine whether SFA pattern is stimulus current dependent. Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350 g) were anesthetized (ketamine-xylazine) before...
VOL. 16, NO. 9 SEPTEMBER 2017 ENDOVASCULAR TODAY 73 How would you characterize the current state of drug-delivery devices available for use in the superficial femoral artery (SFA)? Our first experience with drug-delivery platforms was in the coronary arteries, where the success with drug-eluting stents (DESs) has been so significant that it is unlikely the market will revert to favoring non–dru...
OBJECTIVES We studied associations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-measured superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusions with functional performance, leg symptoms, and collateral vessel number in peripheral artery disease (PAD). We studied associations of collateral vessel number with functional performance in PAD. BACKGROUND Associations of MRI-detected SFA occlusion and collateral vessel...
Fimbrial adhesins enable bacteria to attach to eucaryotic cells. The genetic determinants for S fimbrial adhesins (sfa) and for F1C ("pseudotype I") fimbriae (foc) were compared. Sfa and F1C represent functionally distinct adhesins in their receptor specificities. Nevertheless, a high degree of homology between both determinants was found on the basis of DNA-DNA hybridizations. Characteristic d...
BACKGROUND Abdominal visceral obesity has been reported to be associated with cardiovascular risks than body mass index, waist circumference, and abdominal subcutaneous fat. On the other hand, there is evidence that subcutaneous fat has a beneficial role against cardio-metabolic risks such as diabetes or dyslipidemia. However, little is known regarding the association between high visceral fat ...
After an episode of myocardial ischemia, opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), at the onset of reperfusion, is a critical determinant of myocyte death. We investigated the role of the mPTP as a target for cardioprotection in the human heart. We subjected human atrial tissue, harvested from patients undergoing cardiac surgery, to a period of lethal hypoxia and investi...
S fimbrial adhesins (Sfa) represent virulence factors of E. coli wild-type strains causing urinary tract infections and meningitis of the new born. In order to determine the influence of subinhibitory concentration of antibiotics on the expression of the sfa gene cluster, a wild-type strain carrying the lacZ gene, coding for the enzyme beta-galactosidase fused to the sfa determinant was used. T...
The predominant risk factor of metabolic syndrome is intra-abdominal fat accumulation, which is determined by waist circumference, waist-hip ratio measurements and visceral fat area (VFA); the latter can be accurately measured by performing computed tomography (CT). In addition to environmental factors, genetic factors play an important role in obesity and fat distribution. New genetic loci ass...
