Abstract
BACKGROUND:Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is increasing in prevalence, but few effective treatments are available. Elevated left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling pressures represent a key therapeutic target. Pericardial restraint contributes to elevated LV end-diastolic pressure, and acute studies have shown that pericardiotomy attenuates the rise in LV end-diastolic pressure with volume loading. However, whether these acute effects are sustained chronically remains unknown. METHODS:Minimally invasive pericardiotomy was performed percutaneously using a novel device in a porcine model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Hemodynamics were assessed at baseline and following volume loading with pericardium intact, acutely following pericardiotomy, and then again chronically after 4 weeks. Cardiac structure was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS:The increase in LV end-diastolic pressure with volume loading was mitigated by 41% (95% CI, 27%-45%, P<0.0001; ΔLV end-diastolic pressure reduced from +9±3 mm Hg to +5±3 mm Hg, P=0.0003, 95% CI, -2.2 to -5.5). The effect was sustained at 4 weeks (+5±2 mm Hg, P=0.28 versus acute). There was no statistically significant effect of pericardiotomy on ventricular remodeling compared with age-matched controls. None of the animals developed hemodynamic or pathological indicators of pericardial constriction or frank systolic dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS:The acute hemodynamic benefits of pericardiotomy are sustained for at least 4 weeks in a swine model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, without excessive chamber remodeling, pericarditis, or clinically significant systolic dysfunction. These data support trials evaluating minimally invasive pericardiotomy as a novel treatment for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in humans.
摘要
背景: 射血分数保留的心力衰竭的患病率正在增加,但有效的治疗方法很少。升高的左心室 (LV) 舒张充盈压代表了关键的治疗目标。心包约束导致左室舒张末压升高,急性研究表明,心包切开术可通过容量负荷减弱左室舒张末压的升高。然而,这些急性效应是否长期持续仍然未知。 方法: 在保留射血分数的猪心力衰竭模型中,使用一种新型装置经皮进行微创心包切开术。在基线和容量负荷后,用完整的心包,急性心包切开后,然后在4周后再次长期评估血流动力学。通过磁共振成像评估心脏结构。 结果: 左室舒张末压随容量负荷的增加减轻了41% (95% CI,27%-45%,P<0.0001; 左室舒张末压从 + 9 ± 3毫米mmhg降至 + 5 ± 3毫米mmhg,P = 0.0003,95% CI,-2.2至-5.5)。效果在4周时持续 (+ 5 ± 2毫米mmhg,与急性相比P = 0.28)。与年龄匹配的对照组相比,心包切开术对心室重构的影响没有统计学意义。没有动物出现心包收缩或明显收缩功能障碍的血液动力学或病理学指标。 结论: 在射血分数保留、无过度心室重构、心包炎或临床上显著的收缩功能障碍的心力衰竭猪模型中,心包切开术的急性血流动力学益处持续至少4周。这些数据支持评估微创心包切开术作为一种新型治疗射血分数保留的人类心力衰竭的试验。

METHODS::The ATP binding-cassette superfamily corresponds the mostly transmembrane transporters family found in humans. These proteins actively transport endogenous and exogenous substrates through biological membranes in body tissues, so they have an important role in the regulation of many physiological functions necessary for human homeostasis, as well as in response regulation to several pharmacological substrates. The development of multidrug resistance has become one of the main troubles in conventional chemotherapy in different illnesses including cancer, being the increased efflux of antineoplastic drugs the main reason for this multidrug resistance, with a key role of the ABC superfamily. Likely, the interindividual variability in the pharmacological response among patients is well known, and may be due to intrinsically factors of the disease, genetic and environmental ones. Thus, the understanding of this variability, especially the genetic variability associated with the efficacy and toxicity of drugs, can provide a safer and more effective pharmacological treatment, so ABC genes are considered as important regulators due to their relationship with the reduction in pharmacological response. In this review, updated information about transporters belonging to this superfamily was collected, the possible role of these transporters in cancer, the role of genetic variability in their genes, as well as some therapeutic tools that have been tried to raise against main transporters associated with chemoresistance in cancer.
METHODS:BACKGROUND:Cholinergic neurotransmission regulates neuroinflammation in Parkinson disease (PD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:The authors conducted a delayed-start study of donepezil for cognitive decline in non-demented PD patients. The study consisted of a 96-week randomized placebo-controlled double-blind phase 1, followed by a 24-week donepezil extension phase 2. The primary outcome measure was a change in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) at week 120. RESULTS:A total of 98 patients were randomly allocated to the early-start (donepezil-to-donepezil) and delayed-start (placebo-to-donepezil) groups. Mean (SD) of the baseline MMSE was 27.6 (2.0) and 28.0 (2.1), respectively. MMSE change at week 120 was better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group, but the difference was not significant. The MMSE declined in apolipoprotein ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and the factor interaction (intervention × ε4 genotype) was highly significant (P < 0.001). Analyzed with the interaction, the difference was significant (group difference 1.95 [0.33 to 3.57], P = 0.018). The MMSE decline slope in phase 1 was significantly better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group (P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS:Cognitive function deteriorated in ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and early-start donepezil may postpone cognitive decline in the former.
METHODS::Since the discovery of dental pulp stem cells, a lot of teams have expressed an interest in dental pulp regeneration. Many approaches, experimental models and biological explorations have been developed, each including the use of stem cells and scaffolds with the final goal being clinical application in humans. In this review, the authors' objective was to compare the experimental models and strategies used for the development of biomaterials for tissue engineering of dental pulp with stem cells. Electronic queries were conducted on PubMed using the following terms: pulp regeneration, scaffold, stem cells, tissue engineering and biomaterial. The extracted data included the following information: the strategy envisaged, the type of stem cells, the experimental models, the exploration or analysis methods, the cytotoxicity or viability or proliferation cellular tests, the tests of scaffold antibacterial properties and take into account the vascularization of the regenerated dental pulp. From the 71 selected articles, 59% focused on the "cell-transplantation" strategy, 82% used in vitro experimentation, 58% in vivo animal models and only one described an in vivo in situ human clinical study. 87% used dental pulp stem cells. A majority of the studies reported histology (75%) and immunohistochemistry explorations (66%). 73% mentioned the use of cytotoxicity, proliferation or viability tests. 48% took vascularization into account but only 6% studied the antibacterial properties of the scaffolds. This article gives an overview of the methods used to regenerate dental pulp from stem cells and should help researchers create the best development strategies for research in this field.
